Sure. A bunch? Shouldn't there be only one joint? The knee?

Nope, two joints (Knee & Ankle), not including the hoof or the hip, which you also have to plan out.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Is 6D even possible? I think you'll just give yourself a headache.

 

Technically, yes, but at best, you'll be seeing a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a shadow.

I always envisioned the ankle as being part of the foot, not the leg. But whatever, I suppose you could consider it a part of either.

In horses, it is much closer to the body.

I lied about responding in pictures;

 

 

 

 

NO

I've always wanted to go up a dimension and see a real fourth dimensional object with my own eyes...

NO

Yep. Those exist, Doxy!

Oh, that doesn't seem that bad.

Wait what happened?

The side just... What... The side...

It... Uhh...

My... brain...

It's going faster!

Mother of Celestia!

OH FAUSTICORN WHAT IS THIS?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Then you'll probably love Flatland. There's several different renditions of the original book, but it basically goes like this:

• The citizens of Flatland start off as triangles, and with each progressive generation, they gain one more side (triangle to square to pentagon and so on) until they have so many sides that they're indistinguishable from circles and they're then considered priests.
• Women are line segments.
• A 3-dimensional entity, a sphere, enters Flatland and is recognised as a priest. The weird thing about this particular priest is that he can change his size, but in reality, it's just a different cross-section of himself as he goes up and down the plane of Flatland; he's actually not changing size at all, just his cross section that can be visible at any one time.
• He then flicks out one of Flatland's residents (a square) and the square realises euphoria and enlightenment. Or nausea, since he could probably see the insides of everything and everyone.

Here's one rendition where they cross out the "women is line segments" part, and a lot of the political hub-bub. What I like about this rendition is how all words that have reference to three-dimensional objects are rendered down to two dimensions, and that actual 3D terms are banned from use.

It took you this long to figure that out? 

I know! I've always sort of wanted a monocle...

I've heard about that book and I've seen the movie. They're both really cool... but they're not getting me any closer to seeing a object 4 dimentionally!

Then we probably need to remake the movie in 3 dimensions, then, with 3D glasses, even though at best, we'd be seeing shadows of the actual 4D entities.

Here's a drawing I whipped up

The legs are pretty good, though.

Not gonna lie, got kinda lucky.

 

But still, not the best.

Are you crazy!? Those legs look great!

I see... Maybe if we close our eyes really right, and believe in ourselves and in the magic of friendship, just maybe we can ascend to a higher dimension.

 

Can our eyes even correctly see objects of dimensions higher then three? Am I seeing 4 dimensional objects right now, only my eyes are registering them as 3 dimensional?

Not gonna lie, got kinda lucky.

You're just modest. 

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

@, and if you thought Euclidean geometry was a bore, wait until you see this... This would give Euclid a seizure if he saw this.

 

Imagine a world where, given a line and a point not on that line, there's infinitely many unique lines parallel to the given line.

Nah, I know it's good.

Just aware that it isn't amazing, but hey whatever.

They just seem a bit too flat and thin to me.

 

Man, I wish I could just do a montage and become amazing at drawing.

Say what you will, but I'm going to print that drawing out and put it on my wall. That's how good it is.

I didn't even draw the hair, tail, cutie mark, and other things that are needed for ponies.

 

Plus, why would you put that on your wall?

You don't even know who that pony is supposed to be.

I liked euclidean geometry. But I liked non-euclidean geometry even more.

You can't improve upon perfection, Punicpunch.

 

Actually, that was a lie. But I will put it as a desktop background on my computer.

That's a really crappy background...

 

It has no color...

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

I come on these forums a lot but pretty much end up doing nothing for hours so I decided to come on here and just chat with peepz so yeah, I'll probably be here quite a bit :3

 

Oh I see. That's cool! You are from England right? How is that place? I am in the US of course. Never left the country though I have been all over the country in many places. (Okay I have been to Canada for 10 minutes but that's it. xD) Have you been anywhere else?

Very true. I usually like colorful backgrounds such as:

 

 

 

 

 

To show only a few of them.

So I'm right.

How are you punic? It's been a while since we have talked. I am not doing much lately. Just a lot of drama lately and stress. I hope that I fee better. What has been going on with you?
