Hum,
yea our simian brain usually just `visualises` things, and that`s how we normally grasp what is reality, er, or not...

But if we use mathematics we can extend our understanding beyond what our human brains can `visulise`...

Came across a good book...`The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality`.
From the guy that brought you `The Elegant Universe`,...

Physicist Brian Greene has developed a reputation for explaining complex scientific theories with insight and clarity; he`s a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University.
He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard and his doctorate from Oxford, where he was a Rhodes scholar.


Check out this real-player (Doh!) stream of him describing everything....
