I think actual blindness since birth has been proven to work like you would have expected this to work, that is, your brain is not capable of interpreting the signals even if they can be made to occur/reach it. (I guess it must have to do with age though, I can't see - no pun - why a six-months-old wouldn't be able to learn to see.) If this is so, apparently knowing how to see is of a different order of magnitude than what colors you see. Anyhow, it would be truly amazing to hear from an ex-colorblind person about the experience of seeing a to him completely new color.

Imagine being on a spot in spacewise 2-dimensional universe. One kind of time could be like moving within this area, time passing, the other like not moving spacewise but only timewise, so that you'd walk through the "absolutely" same spot, but through time, not space. Imagine popping from frame to frame in the Game of Life-simulation, not moving sideways but only to the next frame, and the next. I dunno if this was clear though...?

Perhaps two dimensions of time is like you could go not only forward and backward in time (not that you can), but also up and down, moving "within" what we now think of as a unit of time. I can imagine such a concept could come in handy to explain mysterious things like action at a distance (gravity, QM).

Wild-guess-answer: A hypersphere and a torus share a formula (don't recall for what though, volume perhaps), though they are not the same thing. Perhaps there's a formal mathematical analogy somewhere in there?

I used to be a grammar and spelling Nazi, which probably was a symptom of my obsessive compulsive disorder. Now that it is taken care of (medicated), I write worse, spell worse, make homophonic mistakes etc, and do not care so much about whether other people write properly or not. Years of typing made no difference at all though. But being a grammar and spelling Nazi may, I take from my own experience, be about being undiagnosed, not about being correct.

I thought he was funny, that makes me a troll? No trolling intended anyhow, if I understand the term correctly. (I should do, being a moderator elsewhere.) Anyhow, excuses to whomever took this as a way of making fun OF someone instead of joining in the joke, which was the intent.

At last things make sense!

Would it not be easier to have AI-bots identify the humans instead of the other way around? Humans are so unreliable!

This 2D-plane that you refer to is the one in which the majority of the material in the solar system moves.

Well, amateur astronomers observing actually have made quite a few important contributions to the science of astronomy.

But can the chihuahua be reverted into a wolf or something wolflike? It could be argued that Nature would never produce chihuahuas, but that it does produce wolfs.

The time it takes depends upon what craves the change. If an asteroid would hit earth, evolution would work very very quickly (see Dinosaurs).

"external force trying to achieve these alterations by exerting absolute control over breeding""

That force could very well be a change in the environment. That is, there is no need for any conscious control or Controller (Designer). Evolution is slow when there is no need for it, but death to the unfit makes change happen pretty fast.

Well, as they are able to reproduce they are not less robust. Things have changed. Survival of the fittest doesn't mean survival of those who go to the gym but survival of those best fitted to the environment in which they live. Surviving into an age where you can reproduce yourself is ALL that counts. THAT's evolution.

You just explained something very fundamental about the propagation of the species. Thing is, though, people may have other reasons to procreate than to have successful books published. Unfortunately?
