Science: Gap Between Science and the Humanities:
"discovered that are operative in the electricity. There is electrical engineering. In the mathematics, the the coordinate system of XYZ coordinates we had identified what we call powering, the development of dimensions that required a unique perpendicularity to a plane not already in the system.
"We had the first dimension all right, and the second and third dimension. But we couldn’t seem to find any fourth dimension. The trouble was that in the gay nineties fourth power relationships were beginning to show up in the physics and in relation to electromagnetic phenomena. But you couldn’t make a model of it. What the mathematicians found you could do was fairly nifty because in dealing with 90-degreensesa you just think about your XYZ coordinates; you think about your 90-degree angle and you have lines going out so many units from the centers. In XYZ coordinates, they were also called the quadrants; 90-degrees four times, you might call it a clock with four hours.
“One of the things the mathematicians found you could do to accommodate the seeming phenomena that was going on in electromagnetics where physical Universe seemed to be using the fourth power-- you could handle the fourth power simply by borrowing”
