    Flatland é um exercício interessante de ideias e de teorias, onde se discute a geometria e se questiona a religião, apresentando conceitos que são ainda hoje discutidos pelos físicos teóricos. Ainda que não seja uma história envolvente, é aconselhável pela forma como apresenta os conceitos e os agiliza, numa sátira matemática e religiosa.

    Upward, not Northward

    Would it be amusing for one being to contemplate more than our usual three dimensions reality conjecture? Confined to a limited dimensionality, Abbott invite us to stretch our imagination in a multidimensional romance, when suddenly a visitor from the third dimension manifests itself in the two dimensional world, the Flatland. If somehow we could behold the fourth dimension and expand our scope of reality, the inferred conjecture when in comparison that we so vainly try to synthesize and always end up with analogies could reveal itself poor, shadowy and not solid at all. Many eyes would indicate incredulity, calling it madness, hell, tricks by enchanters, when it’s just knowledge. To paint a picture of a lesser dimension it’s quite easy when you live in a higher one, but when you invert the papers, it is by no means a simple matter. We can only speculate a direction in which we cannot look and even granting the facts, each individual explain them in different ways. Hungry for empirical truths, the facts not yet discovered before us could be beneficial to our understanding. In a not so distant future, the exponencial terminal points conceit should not limit or spread fear in our miserable race. It should bring enlightenment and a greater hunger, a rebel spirit for the objective truth.
