MH: Of course that must be a strange dimension. Matter appearing and
MH: disappearing at random times and places I assume. Hope no one
MH: steals hismatter while hes not looking, be one heck of a way to lose
MH: an arm?!?!?
It doesn't really have to be that strange at all. I once read a book
called Flatland (or was to Flatworld), about a 2 dimensional world
populated by polygons (triangles, squares, pentagons, etc.)
They had length and width, but no height. Then one day a SPHERE visted
them. It floated above them, and they couldn't see it, but it could be
heard. The sphere passed through the 2D plane to be seen, but the sqaure
saw only a small circle appearing out of "nowhere" then grow larger then
smaller. The sphere could also "invisibly" touch the insides of the
square from above.
If the shapeshifter also exists in such away, then he could appear to
change mass, simply by touching a smaller/larger portion of his mass to
our more limited (detectable) number of planes.
