Isn't the fourth dimension time?

Not anymore, apparently.
"The fourth dimension in this space was sometimes interpreted as time, but this is no longer done in modern physics. In the last century spacetime was developed, which unifies space and time but with a different metric so the time dimension is treated differently from the three spatial dimensions. The resulting space is a Minkowski space which has different properties from this space."
I have no idea what the fuck any of that means.

Neither do I.

The comic gave me a good laugh, but then I read the article. Now my head hurts.

 

[Weaver]

Actually, the tesseract is a 4 dimensional cube.

 

[Sarmos]

You've put a 360 achievment reference, a mario world reference, and made fun of Miegakure,
ALL IN THE SAME COMIC.

Hilarity ensued.

Isn't the fourth dimension time?

Some theorize that time is three dimensions itself, making the universe at least six dimensions. Eating the universe should be worth at least 12G.

I am sad I didn't think of eating it first.

 

[Aptspire]

What kills me is eating the universe only was only worth 10G.

...didn't she eat every achievement there exists?

 

[Benjeezy]

Punchline: Haha, Video Games. C'mon I don't mean to be such an ass, but I know you can do better than this.

I totally agree. This kinda seemed like "LOL REFERENCES" to me...

 

[Chunko]

In reality wouldn't she just eat a 3D element of it.

 

[Unia]

That Miegakure article made most of Peter Molyneux's (sp?) pitches look reasonable. In the actual game you do what exactly? Mess around with a yet another physics puzzle while enduring advanced mathematics? Be still, my heart.

 

[Charli]

We should totally protest to Microsoft to increase the amount for 'Ate the universe achievement'!

 

[ShoopDaToaster]

What is this I dont even.
Guy makes cube out of ferret technology.
Girl uses block to make mario refrence.
Girl eats mushroom from said mario rerence.
Girl destroys everything.

Am I missing something here?

 

[Neferius]

IMO Time, defined by the erratic and unpredictable constant flow of Matter (i.e. the other 3 Dimensions) is the one true 4th Dimension.

Frankly, I think what that game tries to accomplish is completely Batshit Crazy!
I mean we have trouble enough as it is trying to emulate a 3-D environment via a 2-D Medium (i.e. your computer's Screen), and trying to emulate a 4th dimension via Another emulation goes beyond the realm of technically unfeasible and into the Land-of-Making-shit-up.

For a simpler reference, if this game were to actually succeed in what it claims, that would mean you would be able to reach INSIDE your PC's Monitor and actually feel the item you were grabbing while freely interacting with the environment, all of this using only your Hands.

 

[D1C3]

what, only 10G for eating the universe!!??

 

[Sunblast]

Must've been an Arcade game. Their achievements are roughly, what, one-fifth the value?
