• Resumen

  • The article and accompanying diagrams discuss dimensions, traditionally conceived of as the three measurements needed to identify an object's position. Three dimensions feature in the laws of classical physics, but quantum physics introduces a more complicated space that calls for different notions of dimensionality. The diagrams show examples of integer and fractal dimensions.
