If someone capped (headshotted) someone in the 4D, how would the blood fly? would 4D beings have more blood to shed because they have an extra dimension to put body parts?

Think of this question while gaming lol? :lol:

Probably some blood would fly up, down, forward, back, left, right, ana and kata in 4d, but the difference with those two extra 4d directions would be similar to the difference between thinking of 2d splatter along a plane and spherical 3d splatter, in other words HUGE.... Ouch...

yah i was..
halo 2 to be precise, because the headshots look so funny

What color blood would they have ? ...
use your imagination?

Maybe black, or clear, like water...

to us, the blood would grow and shrink, then more would appear... :o_o:

It wouldn't fly in all directions, only those that lead away from the skin.

Depends on how powerful the gun is...

It is rather more difficult in 4d, for the shot to affect as much damage.

The trace of a bullet is a line, the assumption is that a line through a person will quite likely intersect a latrous affair vital to the body, viz a blood stream or something. People survive direct gunshots should this line fail to hit things.

In four dimensions, this is a rather different thing. There is much more room to miss vital structures.

The colour of the blood is a feature of its chemistry, even in 3d.

Depends what shape, size and velocity that 4D bullet has...

Not to mention whether it's designed to explode on impact, sending fragments in every available direction.

Still, it's a great point that the more spatial dimensions, the more "room to miss" there is.

In our dimension, bullets travel in a 1D line. Wouldnt in the 4D bullets travel along the axis of a plane?
And when the 4D person shot us, wouldnt it be able to just slice us in half?

Motion in a straight line is one dimensional by definition.

It may or may not be. They could have 4D bullets that also shot in a straight line.

One time dimension = everything moves in a 1D path.

Also, keep in mind that a tetronian would probably have a heck of a lot more blood than a trionian.

I wouldn't want to be the person to clean up that mess.

by **papernuke** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 1:43 am

Yea but the tetronian would most likely have more arm-like-things.
Also, if, for example, you clean the mess up with a mop. the mop would have more surface area to clean up the blood since its a 4D mop, instead of 3D.

In any event they'd either create a hell of a lot of ash in a 4d cremation, or buried in a tesseractoidal coffin.
Perhaps, this should be a coffinder.
