Hi all -
I am new to this site, but intensely intrested. I have a question... on page 4 of this site, when Bob puts the nail through Fred's 2-d world, it says that Fred sees a circle appear in mid air. Wouldn't Fred actually see a line segment? If the 3-d Nail penetrated the 2-d plane at 90 degrees, wouldn't Fred see a line? I think that understanding the relation betweeen the 2-d and the 3-d world is integral to my understanding of the 4-d and 3-d relationship.
Thanks for your input!
