Blur as the fourth dimension
About 3-4 years back, I had postulated that perceiving the 'n+1'th dimension will need 'n' eyes, by the process of mathematical induction. More on this later.
Now, I am willing to espouse the cause of "'n+1'th dimension is relative" and that there is no such thing as an absolute/common 4th dimension. For the normal-sighted humans* who have never had eye-drops in their vision cloud their vision, blur is a dimension they have never perceived. To them, blur is the fourth dimension.
In short, what some people can perceive and others can't, is the latter group's 4th dimension. So, what do you hold forth as your fourth?
