Synopsis

""Another World or The Fourth Dimension"" is a book written by Alfred T. Schofield that explores the concept of the fourth dimension and its potential implications on the world and our understanding of it. The book delves into the history of the fourth dimension, from its origins in geometry to its more recent interpretations in physics and philosophy. Schofield also discusses the potential practical applications of the fourth dimension, such as in art and architecture. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and lay readers interested in exploring this fascinating topic. Overall, ""Another World or The Fourth Dimension"" is a thought-provoking and enlightening read that challenges readers to expand their understanding of the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“By the help of certain mathematical analogies, cleverly put, Dr. Schofield points out the impossibility of guessing the direction of Heaven and Hell, as "up above" or "down below." There is "another world," close to us, but necessarily invisible, and “the scriptural way of entering the Kingdom of God is the only way possible."
— The Bookseller

“Verily the doctrine of the existence of another world must be "in a parlous state" if it requires bolstering up by an appeal to the metageometrical vagaries of Lobatschewsky, Riemann & Co.; and yet it is pangeometry that Dr. Schofield invokes as a proof of the truth of Christianity! He quotes from that clever little skit "Flatland" with as much confidence as he might from Balfour Stewart's "Conservation of Energy," and as though the result of juggling with symbols of the pangeometers necessarily had some corresponding entity in the cosmos. How can he, or any other human being, assume the identity of an algebraic multiple with a spatial magnitude! We employ algebraic quantities of the first, second, and third degrees to denote geometrical magnitudes of one, two, and three dimensions respectively; and, therefore, say the fourth-dimension gentry (or must say if they consistently adhere to their own principles), there must be geometrical magnitudes of four, five, six and so on to n dimensions corresponding to algebraic quantities of the fourth, fifth, sixth, and nth degree! For this, put nakedly, is every atom of evidence that we possess for the existence of "the fourth dimension." Try again, Dr. Schofield." ”
