Flatland and how many dimensions you can see (HINT: it's not 3!) Hi! I'm Jade.

Seems obvious doesn't it? Not so fast. To begin to understand we need to take a trip to a lower dimensional land. Lineland is a one dimensional world where only lines exist. There is only left and right. Up, down, back and forth do not exist. Now what would an interaction between two citizens of line land look like? To each other, one dimensional lines LOOK like zero dimensional points. This is because, from their perspective, they can only see the front of each other. Even if they had see-through vision it would just look like a series of overlapping points. So in a 1 dimensional world, the citizens see in zero dimensions. Now let's move up one dimension. Flatland is a two dimensional world which is perfectly flat. There is left, right, back, a
