eric3579says...-edit- working now. Was a browser issue.
Not working it seems.
lucky760says...No problem on my end. It's an iframe that loads a Flash embed. What are you seeing, an embed that doesn't work or no embed at all? Can you try a different browser?

ChaosEnginesays...I read a really great explanation of n-dimensional space a while ago... trying to find it but the basics were:
If I have a point, that has 0 dimensions (note: not a point on a plane, just a dot).
if that point position changes, I have 1 dimension (a line)
if the line position changes, I have 2 dimensions (a square)
if the plane position changes, I have 3 dimensions (a cube)
Easy so far right? but if I take a view of time, then that cube (in fact, all of 3 dimensional space) is a dot again.
if the cube exist for 10 seconds, it has moved through time. Now we have a line in four-dimensional space.
Now here's where it gets tricky. Let's go back to the point and the line.
When we have 1 dimension, I can move the point along a line, but I cannot change the line. Think of it like a train on a single track. It can go back and forth, but the track doesn't change. If I want to change where the train goes, I need to move the track.
Same with the line. To move a line I need two dimensions.
And same with time. To change time, we need FIVE dimensions. With 4 you can only go along the time line (hell, we can only go one way). But if you want to change time, then time must be on a plane... a 5th dimension.
