There, before my ravished eye, a Cube, moving in some altogether new direction, but strictly according to Analogy, so as to make every particle of his interior pass through a new kind of Space, with a wake of its own - shall create a still more perfect perfection than himself, with sixteen terminal Extra-solid angles, and Eight solid Cubes for his Perimeter. And once there, shall we stay our upward course? In that blessed region of Four Dimensions, shall we linger on the threshold of the Fifth, and not enter therein? (Edwin Abbott Abbott)

All great things, in our time, can only be seen in fragments, by fragmentary people. View quote

The speed of the ball-thanks to opposition from the air-will not go on increasing forever.
