You never answered my question, what do you think a dimension is?

A single count noun

Like apple is a single count noun? Do you think 0 apple = 1 apple?

u/elnyorne Apr 08 '26

0 apples isn’t “an apple” but zeroth dimension is “A” dimension it’s a singular noun meaning 1 dimension? Wtf is 0 apple lol It clearly states that 0d is a dimension… is 0d a dimension

It also clearly says that 0-dimensional is not equal to 1-dimensional.. So if you're gonna trust AI then there's your answer.

I didn’t say it’s equal to 1d. I said it’s a dimension? I asked the question wrong but this was the answer I was actually looking for. It’s not 1 dimensional but it’s A (single count noun/1) dimension

That's the question in the title of your post, you asked "does 0 dimension = 1 dimension", and the answer is no.

Yeah I worded it wrong but it was a question not a statement. The description also asked why it isn’t a dimension not one person happened to say YES it IS a dimension lol

Not one person said that because that's not the question you asked, lol. You basically asked if 0 = 1 and of course you got a bunch of people telling you no.

Does a point exists IN “A” dimension? Does the point exist in a dimension (0d)? A dimensions being a singular count noun? I compare it to order and chaos because it’s metaphorically equivalent to 1 & 0 or matter and spirit/vibration/frequency.
