Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Pythagorean Hylozoics is based on numbers. It gives a very precise description of the various interpenetrating dimensions (49 all in all, the 49th being the dense physical dimension) and subplanes (of which the densest 7 supposedly has 6 each). I've made a graphical tabulation of them, but can't seem to upload the Word file and don't know why, Inger Re: Stretching spacetime.
