joigus Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Can there be a set with fewer than zero elements? If so, then there can be negative-dimension spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallsofIvy Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 First, what do you mean by "dimension"? You seem to be using the word in a way that make no sense to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematic Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Mathematics is flexible. You can define such concepts, such as negative dimension or sets with a negative number of elements and do what you want with them. It would be very hard to give them any physical meaning.

Phi for All Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 A universe with more or less than three spatial dimensions would be unstable. We'd also see the effects of such opposition if it existed. Do you have any evidence such a thing exists, or were you just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airbrush Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Distances are always positive. Negative distance doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
