Anyone else come across this theory?
you meant fourth? (or maybe not)....but we're pretty two dimensional here

click this link if you really want to know what is going on here.
Nope...I really mean the third dimension. As in we live in a 2D world with depth being an illusion.

sorry, something that has always bothered me since middle school science
Im not 100% sure but I think our brain corrects the image. Think of this, your body is in one piece, but when you look at one arm you see it as it would be attached to your shoulder. However, in reality it would have haved to detach from your body to be 'upside down' for you to see it 'right side up' That seems unlikely to me.

So, if ya hung upside down (like with the old Gravity Boots), then after a while
(how long?) the brain might very well upright the vision...

no.. the brain would relax and the eye's lens
would do all that flippin' flipping.

simple!

if you drop a peice of bread with jelly on it, it will almost always land jelly side down, if you drop a cat it will land on it feet

what would happen if you tied a peice of bread, jelly side up, to the back of a cat

i have never done that, i dont own cats, i was simply asking a what if question...

under no circumstances do i promote this behavior, just stating two obvious's and asking "what if" you put them together....

not cool to kill my buzz bro, not cool

Obviously, perpetual motion - a 'toasted cat' spinning in mid air.
