Image taken from. [] on Aug 12th, 2009 II. Now click on the following link and watch the video. While watching, please answer the following questions: []

Who are the main characters in the video? The main characters in the video are Dr. Quantum and the little circle.

What's the difference between the worlds in which the characters live in? The difference are that the flatland just have two dimensions: forwards, backwards, to the left and right there is no up and no down while in the other world, exist the concept of three dimensional objects where things can be seen within the two-dimensional world. About this concept, the two-dimensional flatlanders have no understanding at cubes, spheres, tetrahedros or yours too.

What does Dr. Quantum decide to do? Dr. Quantum, decides to convert the little circle in a sphere, moving it from the flatland, to the three-dimensional world

What does this cause to the other character? The fact that Dr. quantum moved to the small circle of the flat land to the three-dimensional world means a new experience for the small circle, since he did not know what was taking a risk, but once there could not believe what I was seeing because was unknown but equally wanted to explore a new dimension which was transferred

III. After watching the video, please answer these questions. How many dimensions do you know? Please mention them and define them. I know three dimensions and they are: 1. Width: is the smallest horizontal dimension of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. 2. Length: is the largest horizontal dimension of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. 3. Depth: is the largest vertical dimension of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.

Would you like to live in a two dimensional world? Why? I do not like living in a world of two dimensions because I live in a three dimensional world that contains the dimensions: width, length and depth; of which, the wide and long, belong of two-dimensional world.
