 * Good...  [[image:butterfly.gif]]

I think that the video will treat about things in the space, things physics and cientifics, about the Earth and maybe one vision from the space to the surface of the land.

//2. What do you think "flatland" means?//

I think flatland meaning as the surface flat of the land, is as flat Earth.

Please mention them and define them. // <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> I know three dimensions, which are: a) Height: the vertical distance of an object. b) Width: is the distance from one side to another object. c) Length: is the measure of the long of an object. //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Would you like to live in a two dimensional world? Why? // <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> I don’t like, because I think that I would feel as I'm missing something, I think that living in the three-dimensional world is better because contains two dimensions and addition other dimension. **I agree with you**
