Can Power of a Number Indicates Dimensions ?
When we raise a number to certain power, does the result indicates or tells about its dimension? So that for each integer value there is a dimension exclusively associated with each number.
Obviously, this will not work for the number 1. But for number 2, it works nicely.
[itex]2^0 = 1, 2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4, 2^3 = 8, 2^4 = 16, ...[/itex]. This tells us that the number 1 is the only number that can be in any dimension while the number 2 is basically one dimensional. The number 4 is basically two dimensional. The number 8 is basically three dimensional, the number 16 is basically four dimensional, etc.
