    Winged are male ants.

    I doubt that ants can only perceive two dimensions, and that the nests of ants in the ground are so complex that they must have a third dimension, which is depth perception, when they excavate, I think it should be that ants don't have that function to jump

    Two different planes, even if you can jump over them as you normally would, but the ants don't, if you connect in two planes, whether the connection is flat or oblique, the ant will pass

    The complexity of the ant's crypt is that the passages are all connected, and according to the ant's path, it is walking on a two-dimensional plane, and the ant is a typical life form adapted to two-dimensional space. Their cognitive ability only senses the face-to-face space established by the front and back (length) and left and right (wide), and does not know whether there is up and down (height). Although their bodies have a certain height, it is only a cross-sectional connection to three-dimensional space.

    Ants don't know how tall they are when they go up trees, because they only perceive front and back and left and right in the tree by following the smell left by their bodies. We've all played a game where a swarm of ants carries a piece of food and crawls into the nest.

    We pick up the food with a needle and place it very close to their heads, and all the ants will only look on one side from front to back, left and right, and never upwards. For ants, the sudden disappearance of food in front of them is a real mystery. When they can't find it on the surface established by length and width according to their cognitive abilities, the food is mysteriously missing to them, because the food has moved from the two-dimensional space to the three-dimensional space.

    Only if we put the food on the surface that they can perceive it will the ants be able to rediscover it. For ants, it is mysterious.

    Ants can't see humans because two-dimensional space does have this possibility.

    If there were four-dimensional worlds and four-dimensional beings in this world, we would not be able to see them to human beings at all. At most, we can only see the projection of four-dimensional creatures, just like ants see us as just a large obstacle. And even if the four-dimensional creatures are now a potentially lethal threat to humans, we still can't see the four-dimensional world.

    Because the world we live in is a three-dimensional world, which is different from the relationship between ants and humans. Although an ant can only see the two-dimensional world, it is a three-dimensional creature after all. So even if it can't see the three-dimensional world, it can still tell that it's a moving creature.

    Control the action

    First of all, ants are a type of insect that, although they do not have a brain to control their movements, can use the central wide tremor nerve to coordinate. In addition, ants do not communicate by words or sounds, but by antennal secretions and tentacle sensations. Looking at the many creatures on Earth, although not all of them have five senses, they all understand the world in their own unique way.

    However, ants themselves only have a sense of touch and smell, so Shen Yu's understanding of the world is limited to two aspects. If we place an object in front of an ant, when the ant approaches, it only knows that there is something in front of it that is blocking its progress, but it does not understand the nature of the obstacle. The world of ants has no specific awareness of obstacles, but can sense that the information ahead has been lost and cannot move forward.

    Nowadays, we are thinking about more and more scientific questions in the development of science and technology. In the age of technology, humans have abandoned their previous ideas of self-centeredness and omniscience, and instead admitted their ignorance. Because of ignorance, so explore.

    Dimension is one of the topics that people are keen on at the moment, because human beings are no longer limited to themselves and their own environment. Instead think about the existence of a higher or lower level.

    Many people have always thought that there are two-dimensional beings in the world we live in, such as ants. Because ants can only perceive the scope of the existence of the plane in the experiment, they cannot understand the existence of the three-dimensional space. The two-dimensional space is a flat space composed of points and lines, which is lower than the three-dimensional world in which human beings live.

    However, scientists say that this view is wrong, ants are not two-dimensional creatures, multidimensional space does not exist, and human understanding of two-dimensional ant creatures is wrong.

    Through similar experiments, many people believe that ants are living organisms in two-dimensional space. However, according to the principle of bold assumptions and careful verification, giving examples is a powerful evidence to counter this theory. So the scientist directly asked, if ants are two-dimensional creatures, why are the body structures composed of cells, atoms, etc.?

    This is obviously the organization of three-dimensional space, why can two-dimensional life have three-dimensional organization? Moreover, ants do not only perceive the two-dimensional world, but probably cannot perceive the existence of dimensions at all.

    Even if an ant is placed on a piece of paper, it will not feel like it has reached the end of the world just by walking to the edge of the paper. Even when the ant is located on a piece of paper, it will still use its antennae to perceive the external environment. Therefore, they have three-dimensional perception, but they are not aware of it.

    And in this world, we have not yet discovered a truly higher-dimensional space, and we only believe in its existence from theories and assumptions. and occasionally perceived.

    However, there are also theories that multidimensional space is a false proposition, which is only the transformation and dynamic representation of three-dimensional space. For example, if we watch a movie, then we become a four-dimensional space. The people in the movie watch the movie, then they become four-dimensional, and we become five-dimensional space.

    Isn't this just a kind of interlocking status code? According to this theory, parallel worlds and the like do not exist. These are all dynamic displays of the three-dimensional space we are in.

    Do you have any thoughts and insights on multidimensionality? Do you believe in multi-dimensional existence? Although human beings have not yet discovered any truly multidimensional space, it does not prevent us from imagining the future.

    And a huge number of science fiction movies and ** can also satisfy our imagination, maybe one day, human beings can explore the boundaries of the dimension and discover the life and world of higher dimensions.

    Yes, because the ant's line of sight is relatively small, when the paper is circled, the ant will keep walking, and it will not be able to find that the paper is a three-dimensional space.

    This statement is not true. This is because ants have three-dimensional perception and will use their antennae to perceive the environment and the outside world.

    This statement is wrong, because ants have antennae, and ants can use their antennae to perceive the external environment and have three-dimensional perception capabilities.

    First of all, we can't look at ants through our human vision. To look at the ant from the ant's point of view. Just as giants can see our human forms of activity as two-dimensional, because that is an illusion of looking down.

    There is also the idea that ants climb trees in the hope of moving on a plane, which is simply absurd. Think about it, do you think it's possible to compress the surface of the tree and the ground into a flat surface like a four-piece paper? Or is it possible to take a flat surface like a four-piece paper and turn it into an artificial bulge into a tree?

    Unless the space is warped.

    There are also ants that reach the bottom of the trunk of the tree, and if his mind is really two-dimensional, then he will not think about climbing up the tree, because it has no concept of going up and down. The earth is round, you know it. Because people will slowly disappear into the horizon as they move forward, this is a theoretical basis.

    If a creature with a two-dimensional mind could not climb around the trunk of a tree, all he could see was a cliff. Isn't it strange that a creature with a two-dimensional mind can feel that the wall and the ground are in a plane in front of a vertical wall? It's the same thing as ants climbing trees.

    If an ant has a two-dimensional mind, then does he have a concept of up and down? And he can climb trees? So will he make a hole?

    The basic theoretical basis for the idea that the ant climbs the tree and thinks that the tree is a plane and the ant is two-dimensional is also based on thinking, and now from this basic theoretical basis, we can conclude that this view is wrong...

    In the same way, when a giant sees people climbing tall buildings, he may mistakenly look at us humans like someone who thinks that ants are two-dimensional creatures.

    The idea that ants are two-dimensional has been lowered step by step! I used to think I was on a flat surface. Now it's their way of life again. It turned into their thoughts. So layer by layer...

    In conclusion, I don't think the mind of ants is two-dimensional either.

    After listening to the speakers in front of me, I was speechless... Human beings themselves are three-dimensional creatures, everything they see is three-dimensional, and when they look at ants, they think it is three-dimensional, but from the perspective of ants, they look at the world differently from humans, can they fly and it is three-dimensional? The thinking of ants cannot be understood by humans, and its actions and behaviors make humans feel that they are three-dimensional, but we don't understand everything we see in the world of ants, this is the microcosm of ants.

    No, don't listen to the stupid words of those folk stalls, saying that ants are two-dimensional, the source of this is from Einstein's "metaphor", can you tell what is called metaphor? If you ask a fool who says that ants live in two-dimensional space, there are flying ants in the world (fact), so does it prove that before humans invented airplanes, would the ants in the sky think that humans are two-dimensional creatures?

    You are born in a multidimensional space, and that is a multidimensional space. You can't go beyond it, otherwise it's a fantasy that is divorced from reality.

    Ants live in three-dimensional space, because ants can lift things, this simple action has three-dimensional space, as for taking things high, ants can't find it, I suggest you just fart, put a coin on the moon, you also don't know where to go, this is a matter of distance, not a matter of latitude.

    You provoke its friend to another ant to a different two-dimensional space than the first ant, for them it is two spaces, so of course it will die if you provoke it for a long time.

    Ants live in two-dimensional space, and those who think that ants are two-dimensional are a bunch of fools, think about it with your feet, is the life of ants really only two-dimensional? How many "three-dimensional events" in life interfere with the life of ants, for example, ants burrowing, this is already what a creature with a three-dimensional mind does, do you think about a creature whose real mind is two-dimensional? This is just one example, your heads are made of stone!

    A real two-dimensional thing that we humans can't see, it doesn't have thickness, so it doesn't have volume. It cannot reflect light, and in three-dimensional space a matter must have volume in order to exist. A three-dimensional creature sees things in front of it is actually a three-dimensional painting composed of a large brain, and the receiving form is flat and pictorial, and a truly two-dimensional creature sees things in front of him as a line.

    The ant is not two-dimensional, because although he values a two-dimensional ground, that is when it is seen from above. He's a three-dimensional creature, even if his way of thinking is two-dimensional, that's what his brain thinks, just like one thinks of an A4 piece of paper as a two-dimensional thing. In fact, A4 paper is three-dimensional.

    Can we think of it as a two-dimensional creature? Who is so funny to think that ants are two-dimensional? Nonsense, hehe.

    How can it be two-dimensional, have you ever seen flying ants.

    There is no basis for this claim, it is just a simple metaphor. Ants are not two-dimensional space, humans are not three-dimensional space, everyone lives in a multi-dimensional space, but their perception is different. The ant's perceptual system is two-dimensional, so it can only perceive the two-dimensional world.

    And the human senses are three-dimensional, so humans can only perceive the three-dimensional world. Of course, this statement is not fixed, but just a metaphor that human beings think about in order to get in touch with the multidimensional world.

    1. In the most common statement, ants, like humans, are in a multidimensional space. However, its own senses can only make it feel two-dimensional space, so many people say that it is a two-dimensional creature. Human beings, on the other hand, can feel things in three-dimensional space, so they are three-dimensional creatures.

    The main thing here is the sensory world, which is dominated by the senses of the creatures themselves. However, this common statement is not accurate. Ants are said to be two-dimensional creatures, just to facilitate human beings to better understand the dimension, in fact, ants are related to three-dimensional in many ways, just a kind of near-two-dimensional creature, which is a name imposed on it by humans.

    2. Are ants really two-dimensional Ants are not two-dimensional creatures, from the three-dimensional nests built by ants, you can know that they are also three-dimensional creatures. And when the ant is close to the edge of something, it will also use its antennae to explore, and at this time it will also feel scared, knowing that there is a certain danger in the unknown. They themselves live in the same world as humans, how can they be creatures of different dimensions.

    Moreover, human beings have never seen two-dimensional creatures, nor can they know the minds of two-dimensional creatures, and we cannot accurately judge what two-dimensional and three-dimensional creatures are.

    3. Is the statement that ants are two-dimensional wrongThe statement that ants are two-dimensional creatures is not wrong, it is just a metaphor. It is believed that the direction of ants is always only front and back, and there is no up and down. This method is to give people a better understanding of dimensions, but people mistakenly understand that ants are two-dimensional creatures.

    The analogy itself is not wrong, it is just that people misunderstand it.

I don't think so. You see, if you reach that speed and fly towards the stars, the first thing you see is 200 years ago, an hour later it will be 180 years ago, and two hours later it will be 150 years ago (just make an assumption, I don't count). Because you are getting closer and closer to the stars, it doesn't mean that you have walked into it, but the light you see is still 200 years ago; The reason why you see the light 200 years ago is because you are 200 light-years away from it, and if you are 100 light-years away from it, you will see the stars from 100 years ago (and the light does not follow you). >>>More
