And that shadow changes as the thing rotates through higher-dimensional space.
"Evidently the object is sweeping up energetic particles and carrying them into its own higher-dimensional spaces."
"We think it was designed to draw energy out of higher-dimensional spaces and the parallel universes adjacent to our own."
Branes, a creation of string theory, are surfaces that exist in higher-dimensional space.
The study of these higher-dimensional spaces ( n 3) has many important applications in advanced mathematical theories.
Unfortunately, the cases studied so far all involve higher-dimensional spaces - D5-branes in nine-dimensional space, for example.
The coordinates in the higher-dimensional space are an example of homogeneous coordinates.
The concept may be applied as well to a higher-dimensional space.
Without this axiom, the theory could be modeled by three-dimensional or higher-dimensional space.
Those live in the full higher-dimensional space, and we see only their three-dimensional "shadows."
