Randall's maze 1

A couple of corrections. First Randall is spelled with 2 l’s. Second she hasn’t won the nobel prize…yet. So far I’ve gotten through the introduction and it looks like a fascinating book. It’s all about extra dimensions. So we are all familiar with our normal three dimensions, up-down, left-right and forward-backward. I used to have trouble explaining this concept because people can move in any combination of these 3 ways but most of that difficulty has been cleared up by (of all things) video games. When the first video games came out they were 2-dimensional you could only more forward-backward and up-down. But now they have those really advanced video games with toggles and if you push the toggle just forward you only go forward or side to side or you jump up and down (or in those flying video games up and down…those games are so hard to get the hang of). So basically what the book is about is the idea of there being more than just those three space dimensions.
