In the hopes of not sounding too nerdy I’m going to admit something: I love books.
The kind which completely transport you and take you away to magical worlds.
I’m a huge fan of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter … you get the idea. Minus any weird costumes and role playing.
Last month, while going through some of my old things, I came across one book that I literally hadn’t read since the 3rd grade.
I spent the entire day reading it. Completely captivated and enthralled. Wondering and questioning the possibilities of time travel and highly evolved life on other planets. Or not so highly evolved life.
Which, yes, I do believe in.
Come on now, like we can be the only form of life existing in this vast, limitless Universe? I think not. I even like to go so far as to imagine these highly evolved beings hanging out with us.
Chilling. Maybe even checking out a baseball game or two.
I can only imagine the humor and entertainment we’re able to provide with our rather narrow minded focus. On certain things.
I had to google it, but I did find out what a tesseract actually is: an 8-cell or regular octachoron or cubic prism, is the four-dimensional analog of the cube. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square.
Did you catch that?
I could have continued with my copy and paste job but I’ll spare you the rest of the boring details.
Most definitely I prefer the Wrinkle In Time definition of a tesseract: functions more or less like what in modern science-fiction is called a space warp or a wormhole, a portal from one area of space to another which is possible through the bending of the structure of the space-time continuum.
I’m all about the whole space-time continuum.
In the meantime, while I’m waiting on inter-dimensional galactic travel, I think I’ll just have to stick to my books.
And my dreams.
