GOD MAY RESIDE IN FOURTH DIMENSION

  We have seen 3 dimension movies, 3D holograms, 3D printer etc.,  Is there anything higher than 3 dimension?  Can we imagine and comprehend it?  Cosmologist Stephen hawk says that there are worlds with higher dimension.

     A point is having zero dimension.  When two points are connected by line, its dimension is 1.  Electrical wire may thought to have one dimension.  If 2 parallel lines are connected by two other lines, we get a two dimensional square.  A  sheet of paper is the example.  Take 2 parallel square surfaces .  Connect the four corners by four lines, we get a cube of three dimension.  The living room is the example.

      Following the same logic, take 2 cubes and connect 8+8 corners. we must get four dimensional cube called tesseract.  The figure shown is only 2D representation of 4D cube.  Higher than 4D is very difficult to model.  

      A train can move only on its track.  It is having one dimensional freedom.  A car can move in any direction on the surface.  Hence it has 2D freedom.  An airplane can fly in entire 3D space.  So higher dimension means high power.  Hence the air force is the important force in warfare.  Great china wall is nothing to a small plane.

     Let us see an illustration .  Take a A4 paper.  Mark 2 points A and B at the 2 ends of the paper.  Let us say an ant tries to travel from A to B.  It is a 2D motion on  2D surface.  We are 3D creature.  We are having more powers than the ant.  We can fold that paper in 3D space so that the A and B lies one below the other.  We can punch a hole through the point A.  Hence now the ant can move through A and reach B quickly and easily.

      This is the principle of worm hole in cosmic space.  If we reach fourth dimension in space, we can travel from one place to another in cosmos  through worm hole with less energy and time.  This theory may become reality one day.

     So any life are creature having higher dimension than 3D must be our creator or superman or monster.  Our brain and eyes are not capable of visualizing and handling higher dimensions than 3D at present.

LISSAJOUS FIGURES

  Definition:  "When a particle is subjected to two sine wave motion or two oscillatory motion at right angles, the particle describes lissajous figures".      We know sine wave motion and circular motion is basically same.  Hence we draw two circles A and B perpendicular to each other.  The circle B rotates twice faster than circle A.  That is, frequency of circle B is two times than that of A.        A particle at the intersection of two circles is subjected to two sine wave motion   A and B at 90 degree simultaneously.  The particle will describe figures depending on the frequency and phase of A and B .  In our case, the ratio of frequency is  1:2 and the two waves are in phase.        To draw lissajous figures :  A moving point in both the circles are chosen.   Here we should remember; during the time taken by the circle A to complete one rotation, circle B completes two.  Hence the points are marked on the circles according to their speed.  Then straight lines

THE PARABOLA

          A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path.  What is the so special about parabola.    Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation.  It will result in a parabola.  This parabola is also called unit parabola.  Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example:  Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation)    X= 2 and -2, both  satisfies the equation 4 = X^2.  Parabolic equations always have two solutions.     Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples:   An object dropped from a moving train,   A bomb dropped from flying plane,  A ball kicked upwards.      If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point.  This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc.      Inverted parabola shape is used in the construction of buildings and bridges.  Because the shape is able to bear more weight.      A plane

CASINO'S GAME

           Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics.      Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice.  You must bet (wager) 2 dollars.  If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars.  The game will go on for 30 rounds.  All sounds good.      The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6.  Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5.  That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30.  Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars.  ok.  This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds.  Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars.  Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars.  There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round.  It is not a fair game.     Let us make a simple formula to calculate  'Pay out per round\. The probability for a win = p The pay-out in case of win = V No. of rounds = n The expect
