My brain's no working.<br /><br />If you were to learn the names of certain shapes in a different language, that wouldn't change the underlying understanding of that shape, would it? Or maybe it would.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-72063699508370946732010-10-26T23:21:09.411+01:002010-10-26T23:21:09.411+01:00I've found Euclidean geometry to be rather fas...I've found Euclidean geometry to be rather fascinating for some time now. <br /><br />That notion you had of renaming certain shapes and asking people about them made me smile. But at the same time if you were to find out the names of certain shapes in that language that wouldn't make the understanding of that shape any different. Would it? Or maybe it would because there might be a different interpretation of that shape. Very interesting...<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-7706616048836811042010-10-26T21:30:58.396+01:002010-10-26T21:30:58.396+01:00Interesting theory, I'm not much of a sci fi f...Interesting theory, I'm not much of a sci fi fan but the video has my head spinning!Fly Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191335990973494972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-35456784734940773072010-10-25T01:16:58.060+01:002010-10-25T01:16:58.060+01:00This sounds fascinating as does that Cuban sci-fi ...This sounds fascinating as does that Cuban sci-fi novel - I am sold on the title alone - to continue with your shape stuff and Euclid theory, I would highly recommend the book "Born on a blue day" by Daniel Tammet (I think that is his last name) who is Aspergers and documents his unique workings of his mind through shapes, colours plus an extraordinary talent for Maths (Pi related) and language ( He learnt icelandic in one week)Greetings from Mexico which strikes me as octangular today!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255193476024745869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-251621088833382212010-10-24T21:43:07.548+01:002010-10-24T21:43:07.548+01:00I do like the interaction between language and con...I do like the interaction between language and concepts.
