Blather, rinse, repeat

Strangely enough, I find the concept that there was nothing before the Big Bang to make perfect sense to me, although I have a hard time visualizing perfect nothing. But I like my self-contained 3+1 dimensional universe. It's cute. And fuzzy. And simple, which is why I study the very small instead of the very large. I don't want to know how complicated it really is.

And, not to damper your enthusiasm, but if you could see into higher dimensional spaces, you would just see weird three dimensional shapes. We can't experience more than that in any meaningful way, since our physical bodies are confined to a three dimensional slice. But it would still probably look pretty cool to pass through a space like that. Weird shapes would be changing all over the place, and it would look interesting.

You could always come write popular science books for us. We certainly need the press coverage.
