Everyone is always trying so hard to understand dimensions above 3d, but what about learning more about 2d. I don't understand the concept of 2d at all. If you think about it hard I think you will have a huge amount of trouble to make sense of it. Since a 2d object only has 2 dimensions, like it could have width and lenght, but that means it wouldn't have height so if it doesn't have height then how are we supposed to see it, it is like an imaginary plane to us. You might like to think of a 2d object as a piece of paper, but instead of the very small height that paper has a 2d object has infinatly small height. Anyone like to explain a bit about this concept. I realise I may be talking a load of s$%t but this is the concept that I can come up with logics.

Don't look behind you.

My idea has an equal amount of energy to the big bang, therefore the echo is the same.. like..

Science = The big bang is one huge explosion in a match factory.

Pincho = The matches were scattered all over the town, and then they lit up one by one.

So as you can see.. you get the same echo.

2D is width, and height, not width, and length.

3D is width, height, and depth.

@Pincho Paxton
I know that 2D is normally talked about as Width and height, but what really what is the diference between width and height as to width and lentgh. In a 2d world there is no diference, from what I believe.

The difference is that width... IS... length in a 2D world. That's why you're getting a flat line. I mean that a flat line has length in the x direction, and you are describing it that way.

Well from the perspective of the 2d world since it cant define the diference between them they are both the same. Anyway that doesn't matter, that wasn't really related to my first question.

That was your first, and only question.

A 2D world has width, and height. Length is the longest one of the two, and if this object were to be described by you as a flat line, then you are saying that the width is the length, and therefore you are trying to see 2D as 1D.

Well i don't think you are understanding my question. It is very hard for me to explain. I was just wondering if anybody knows any information on the 2nd dimension and was just interested, thanks anyway.

Theoretically, yes. In reality, no. That is, most large companies will only look at your resume if you have the piece of paper.
