Maybe off topic. But Dirac used to ask: 'How many dimensions
are you able to visualize?' [He was able to visualize events
in five dimensions, I mean dynamics. That is possibly the reason
why his 'General Relativity' book is so short].
Once he asked Abdus Salam the usual question.
And Salam: 'Maybe three'. Dirac said: 'Correct. You have an
algebraic mind, like every each muslim, and people coming
from east. You need papers and pencils, and to write down
the equations.'
