126? Crikey!!!
Although benzene has few atomic components it exists in a state comprising not just four dimensions – like our everyday “big” world – but 126.

Benzene: solving a mystery in 126 dimensions
After 90 years, scientists have revealed the structure of benzene.
126? Crikey!!!

So they come up with an equation with 126 variables and then compare that to euclidean geometry's 3 ?
Why?
Kevin,
go back to your electrical theory... you have 5 variables, voltage, resistance, inductance, capacitance, current... ok...
We dont say "hey! now there are 5 dimensions!"
just stop reading these morons....
Oi, impedance is a complex number!
It has a real and an imaginary part.
I prefer to think of it as a vector.
I enjoyed complex numbers, but being an electrical engineer I had to use j notation instead of i.
126 probably is the dimension of some configuration (or phase or state) space having to do with the problem. Each carbon atom has 6 electrons, protons and neutrons - and maybe a 3-d position. That gives 6*3+3=21, and 21*6= 126. You can prove anything with numerology. :-)
I know so why does this person then compare their equation with Euclidean geometry?
What does that have to do with anything?
These people have our Kevin here thinking his fond memories are going to disappear for crying out loud...
Intel's i7 chip as over 2 billion transistors ... they know what each are doing...
Are they saying we "now have 2 billion dimensions!"???
Where do these people come from???
I have trouble imagining just one extra 4th spacial dimension. They say the human mind just can't imagine it. You can fit everything you want into three, so why have anymore? It's interesting, though.
“I have trouble imagining just one extra 4th spacial dimension.“
That’s because it doesn’t exist...
Kevin,
From what I can tell our type has left these morons to spin their wheels in their own cloud cuckoo world since about 1860 when they all glommed on to Darwin’s thesis that their great great great..... great granfather was a chimpanzee...
Here Kevin I can do the same thing as these morons....
This is for an A+ in moron university:
What is in the blood of a Jedi knight that gives them The Force?
A. Hemoglobin
B. Lipids
C. Midichloramines
D. Platelets
Answer this correctly and you get an A+ and can write articles all about it...
In computer programming, a one dimensional array is like a list.
A two dimensional array is like a table with a minimum of two columns, or like a chessboard.
A three dimensional array is like a book of tables, or a cube.
For example, a 50x10x8 array would require a single book with 50 pages of tables, with each table containing 10 rows and 8 columns.
A 4D array 2x50x10x8 would require 2 books, each with 50 pages of tables, with each table containing 10 rows and 8 columns.
The number of books required to store tabular information for arrays with greater than 4 dimensions would be exponential.
A 5D array 2x2x50x10x8 would require 2^2 or 4 books.
A 6D array 2x2x2x50x10x8 requires 2^2^2 or 16 books.
A 126D array 2x2x2x ... x2x50x10x8 would require 2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2 or god knows how many books.
There should be a formula to calculate the number of addresses in an array given the size of each subscript and number of dimensions.
It might do. I'll see what the science comes up with.
Noted, but I'm still working on it.
