Hey everybody, sorry I haven't stuck my head in here for a while. I've been quite busy with uni work. May have scored a job though so that'll give me a bit of pocket money to play around with Eric, thank you so much for taking the time out to explain your ways of thinking when dealing with electricity. I'm all ears!
Pinwheel,
I'm not 100% on this but the way I see it there isn't much trouble with the way we calculate areas and such but our understanding of space what they mean. So rather than think of the volume of say a square as being 3 dimensions of space it should be thought of as 1 dimension of space. The 3 dimensions we refer to are just different relations of space (or counter-space). So, if I am understanding Eric correctly, you should think of space like this. The distance of 1 meter on a ruler is a measurement of space, the measurement of area bounded by the top of the ruler is also a measurement of space and finally our measurement of the volume of this ruler is also a measurement of space. All 3 give different values because all 3 are different qualities of bounded space BUT they are all space. When most people think of space they think of volume (m to the 3rd power) but any measurement of distance, area, volume, span, density, etc. will all be measuring space. There was no other space you measured other than the one we exist in which is encompassing of the many qualities listed in Eric's post.
Hopefully that made some sense and hopefully Eric can clarify on that point
