What does Daphne look like to Larry?
Depends, is she naked?
Most interesting thing,that Larry is definitely naked from Daphne's point of view [rolleyes][grin]

IIRC the time does not exist! I think, it was Einstein, who discovered this. Time is only set of presences stored in our memory. Thus - it's human-devised conception. The time is only inside us.

Crispy: there is one very important point you should consider when talking about "spatial" dimensions: the definition of the term "spatial". Spatial refers to dimensional coordinates perceived as space extends. There are only three of them, there can't be a fourth, simply because we wouldn't perceive it as a spatial extend. Basically, in your example, Daphne doesn't have an additional spatial dimension to Larry, because Larry lacks the ability to perceive it as a spatial extend. However, Daphne could extend it's 3rd dimension within the time dimension of Larry.
And that's the whole trick with projections: Larry would see Daphne as a projection of his 2D surface space along his time dimension, not along a 3rd spatial one.

In that case, it's only a matter of wording and perception, which both are irrelevant since there is absolutely no way of telling what that extra dimension is actually like.

What you're saying would very well support the hypothesis that time travel is more than possible.

Furthermore, String theory claims there are 11 dimensions. We, commonly, only know of four.

Taking this idea a step further, for instance, gravitons are known to interact with these extra dimensions - while that doesn't suggest that matter could, it does provide a potential means of transmitting data between these dimensions (as suggested by the Elegant Universe).

What's the current scientific stance towards interdimensional travel? That is, could something like a human being, theoretically, be dragged into a, say, 6D environment or are we forever glued to this boring 3D world?
