==Transcript== {{computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :God, why did you make space 3-dimensional? :No it isn't. If you want to meet at some point in space you have to specify 3 coordinates. :What? Space is 1-dimensional. :No, you just give them the number. :What number? :Write out a number. If you must talk in terms of "three dimensions" we could say the first digit is forward-back, the second digit is left-right, and the third digit is up-down. :You can achieve arbitrary specificity just by adding more digits. You can add more "dimensions" by specifying the meaning of 4th or 5th or whatever digit. Bam. One number contains all the relevant information. :Convenient, right? But noooooo, humans insist on hideous mathematical objects! Quaternions! Jesus christ! :I can't tell if you're messing with me. You're messing with me, right? :You can also just say "meet me at dave's place." :smbc-comics.com
