Imagine two cameras on a horizontal line focused at a single object such as a sphere, no more than 5 feet in front of the cameras horizaltal line axis. Now move the cameras each in oppisite directions on the line until both sides of the sphere can be veiwed at once, except the top and bottom. This would be doing the same thing that our eyes do, seeing a 3d object from different horizontal points of veiw, but this view would be much wider than ours, so this would be like a wide 3d view. But now add a third camera moving vertically up, and place the triangle of cameras all the same distance from the sphere and each other. Now just as a 2d being would only need one eye to see its plane in the same way it does, and a 3d creature needs two, could this use of 3 eyes described above relate to the fourth dimension at all. All of this is just something that i thought about right before i went to bed last night, so i havent had much time to organize my thoughts but any feedback would be highly appreciated. thx.
Now i am adding this since it has just come to my attension:
what if the cameras viewing the 3d sphere, while still moved far enough apart(would have to be extremely far) were brought back closer together w/o losing there absolute view of the sphere from all sides, now, what would be on the other side of the sphere since all sides can be viewed from looking forward at the sphere? would this be fourth a dimesional beings view of one of our 3d spheres? could he then proceed to walk around the sphere and see whatever may lie on the other side(possibly even the inside of the sphere? none of this probly makes since i need some time to organize my thought, but if anyone even has a glimpse of what im talking about, couldnt this be significant? its kindof like one of those magic eye books, or even a 3d movie, except with the cameras focussed further apart and three instead of two, and instead of using the 3d glasses or crossing your eyes to see the the 3d (or possibly 4d w/ 3 cameras/video cameras) couldn't the view be processed by the brain, or even possibly a computer and then transposed onto the computer screen? Right now this is bringing so many ideas into my mind i cant type them fast enough, and if anyone thinks this could be even slightly significant i may get back to it later, thanks "four" (had to say it) your time, and by the way, i am fifteen and very intrested in higher dimensions, so if anyone would like to discuss them w/ me my screen name on aol is dnmoore1990. thx.........
