  In 2D, 3D, 4D, or more-D? by bitflipper2008-09-15 13:27:57

      "Reach" the inside? Not really, not in 3D by bitflipper 2008-09-15 13:55:24
One can define the brick's interior in several different ways, but every attempt to access the interior in 3D will only result in a transformation of the brick's surface; points that were previously on the brick's interior become available on the brick's exterior, to the limit of the brick's composition (in other words, there comes a point where slicing the remains of the brick involves separating molecules from each other or atoms from molecules such that what one is left with exhibits fundamentally different material properties than the original brick had). Three dimensions are not sufficient for allowing access to interior points without first encountering exterior points.
