A note for all mathematicians in the group -- was told by surgeon in my writers group that 40% of mathematicians and all others who also are able to "see" existence of additional dimensions are now considered to be schizophrenics. I may be included since my first novel (trying to find a literary agent by the way if anyone knows a good one -- Tony Hillerman's would do, for example) describes a newly discovered element, xarium (fictitious) which, when held in palm of hand of heroine, takes her to another dimension (also fictitious - but hey, since I was able to describe it, that means I am able to "see" it -- so obviously am diagnosable for sure. )
Just wanted all you "other dimension" scientists to realize this. (She was actually serious. Keep in mind, that the DSM used to list homosexuals among the crazies too, so I wouldn't worry too much.) And my novel is entitled *Of Coins, Toadplates, and Pestles* -- set mainly in New Mexico -- discusses spiritwalking, environmental predictions over next six decades. want to find an agent first before published if I can. Accept any ideas. Peggy Miller Missoula, Montana
