A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah. So basically physics tends to work in N dimensions, or at least that’s how he explained it. So they derived the equations of physics then added a third dimension and started a simulation. Then moved themselves into it.

In the same way, one could take a physics engine for a game, and make all those functions operate in four spatial dimensions. Then you could simulate a 4-dimensional universe.
