- I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. I think I'm just a little fed up about the whole concept since a lot of series are just like this. Making fun of stupid people is an honest thing I guess, but mostly it just seems kind of forced.
Me having just seen 5 minutes of it, could be wrong, but the impression I got was that the satire wasn't social criticism or directed towards the powers at be, as I think satire should be, but towards the little guy. Which I just don't think is that funny.
You mention the movie Falling Down, but at no time during this, did I feel anything but sympathy for the main character. In contrast to The Chair Company, which made me develop a real antipathy for the main character in just the first 5 minutes.

- This is all temporary. In a not too distant future, people will just get the AI to simulate whatever application they want directly - skipping that annoying programming stage altogether :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGiqrsv530Y
- I love my mac and I hate everything Microsoft, but just as Xcode may be the worst piece of software coming out of Apple, Visual Studio (no, not VSCode) may be the greatest piece of software coming out of Microsoft.
It is an amazing piece of engineering. It's not perfect, it has it's share of bugs and quirks, but still, it's a wonder to behold :D
- I'm not criticising Minkowski, I'm criticising the author of the article. He starts out by talking about one dimensional lines, then suddenly jumps to curves as if they could be mistaken for the same thing. And in my humble opinion, it goes downhill from there. He even manage to talk about one dimensional squiggles which is an oxymoron. In one dimension, nothing is squiggly - that is an effect of higher dimensions.
That being said, I don't care much for Einstein's relativity or the derived works either. I think Maxwell was on to something and that quantum mechanics more or less agrees with him.
- Why the downvotes? This is the correct answer to the first question raised: "...how many dimensions does a line have?".
You can track a point to create a line, you can shift the line to make a plane, you can move the plane to create a space, you can change the space to create time, you can observe time to create bliss, you can reflect on bliss to create thought, you can use thought to create an idea and you can use that idea to make a thingy.
You can create as many dimensions you like, all perpendicular to each other - one way or another. But I promise you this; even though the line is needed for the thingy, the line is blissfully unaware of this fact.
