      My bottle is on my bookcase and the packaging it came in is on top of the bookcase. I told him that there are 26 dimensions in my reality, but he didn't take the string theory bait. But he did sign the bottle, so I'm still happy, and our email exchanges were fun, too.

I can design digital logic circuits quite well, if I do say so myself, but to actually get one in my hands I send money to some company to actually make my circuit boards. So yeah - "hands on artisan-ship" really impresses me.

    This talk about higher dimensions being projected on lower dimensions reminded me of how I wrapped my head around this whole concept.
    A two dimension plane being projected on a one dimension line will only show the "shadow of the plane, and if you rotate and translate the plane around, that shadow projected on the line changes, giving a better idea of the real shape of the two dimensional plane, on that one dimensional line, while, at the same time, one dimensional "beings" on that line can only "see" (assuming they "see" like we do) in one direction of that line at a time, their perception of their reality being reduced to a point at the same time that they can't "see" behind a point on that line, they need to "get behind" that point to be able to perceive the length of that object.
    On the same token, two dimensional beings can se the whole one dimensional line all at once, but they can't "see" behind other two dimensional objects, they need to either rotate that object or circle around it to get the whole picture.
    Then we get to the projection of three dimensional objects on a two dimensional plane, and the same thing happens, on 2D you can only perceive the shadow of the 3D object and need to rotate and translate it in order to perceive different perspectives of the object to be able to grasp it's true shape.
    And if we go the other way, bringing a 2D object to a 3D world, we can, again, perceive it's entirety all at once, because, like in the 2D world, we can step to a higher dimension and perceive all the lower dimensions at once.
    And I imagine it would be the same with a 4D object, a three dimension representation would be just a limited projection on our 3D reality, while in a higher dimension our 3D world could be perceived all at once, with nothing hidden behind anything.
    Rinse and repeat for higher dimensions.

    Not gonna lie, if those three alternate versions of the Klein bottles end up being in the shop, I know I'll be buying. Having those babies sitting next to my main would be a sight to behold!

    I'm always happy to see another Cliff out there, but I'm curious if it's short for Clifford, or in my opinion, the better option of Clifton? I may be biased.
