Three Dimensional Infinity....

Today, while I was walking around campus, I found a statue and the plaque said, "The Symbol of Three Dimensional Infinity." I first thought, "Ehh? What does that even mean?" Then I got to thinking about Toy Story (the Disney movie and if you haven't seen it then this won't be as amusing to you) and then I started thinking about Buzz Lightyear. What if they put Buzz on top of that statue and had the plaque read, "To three dimensional infinity and beyond!"

But really, what is three dimensional infinity? Don't you think there is only one infinity? Or do you think it means one infinity but three ways to view it? What about dimensional? Do you think they are referring to three dimensions that go on for infinity and beyond? Or is this just one of those things that people like to think about but there is no way of proving it? Therefore, people just talk about it to look smart. But it has to be something that has been thought about or else it wouldn't be on a college campus.

Do you think there could be other "dimensions?" What would we mean by dimension though? Is it like another earth somewhere in outer space? Or maybe a time within our own time where people like us live? Or maybe it is simply a figment if our imagination. Who knows? I don't think there is a way to discover if "dimensions" are real or not.
