Toy-Physics Historical Perspective

This is a 'teaching video' using graphics to give historical perspective to the Toy-Physics work. It tells about the main difficulty with two historical paths of thought about our universe -- Physics (Pythagoras, Democritus, Descartes, Newton, Einstein, Minkowski, Hubble) and Science-Fiction (Flatland / Sphereland). Both paths utilize 'pointing dimension' thinking. People think that Flatlanders are missing an 'up-down' dimension, but wise Flatlanders would say that we are wrong about that. They would say that it is US 3d creatures who are missing something. We are missing a rigorous INNER DIMENSION concept.
