When you mvoe aboce three dimensions the term hyper gets aplied to jsut abotu everything. Math like this isn't purly theoretical. In my math education class (yes I am in one of those but only becaus eit takes care of an enlgish requirement. Which reminds me. I shoudl write the esay that's due right after spring break) today we studied primitive codes and how one can use an hompporism form the 4 dimesnional space of two elements to the seven dimensional space fo two elements (visulized as a map from a 4-cube to a 7-cube) to create a one eror corecting code. That is take a four letter binary word and convert it tino a 7 letter binary word, transmit it and as long as at most one of the digets had changed you would catch this error. These types of codes have several practical aplications. And this is only scratchign the surface of how multi-dimensional topology (geomery) can be used.

Newton was bad. He did very little science himself. He mainly copied of of other poeple. When he becaim chairman of the royal acadamy of sciences he used his position to squash anythign he didlike/was not involved in. He was totaly corupt and stole a lot of credit.
