Welcome to my home page. If you're interested in strange topics such as four dimensional shapes and ridiculously large numbers, then you come to the right place. Last updated March 13, 2008. Major upgrade on polychoron site, also updated array notation and infinity scrapers pages to finally define meameamealokkapoowa. Previous upgrades: enhanced polytwister page and updated worlds page. Also updated and fixed link to the existence of God page.
Personal Info
Name: Jonathan Bowers, AKA Hedrondude or Dimension Dude.
Location: Tyler, Texas, USA, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, What's our universe's name again?, God's Creation.
E-mail: hedrondude at suddenlink dot net
Birth: Nov. 27, 1969 Tyler, TX.
Occupation: Independent study of dimensional objects, math, science, and art pursuits.
Interests and Hobbies: Element collecting (now up to 82), solar system (Pluto may not be a planet any more, but it is a world), polytopes (have discovered and given short names to thousands of these), drawing cartoons (usually off-the-wall cartoons which have a Far-Side / Bizarro style humor), comical skits (my family has been involved in making some humorous skits starring some strange colorful characters, such as Jabe, Texas Bob, and Tribalman, e-mail me if interested), video games (hope to one day design some games, thought up some really cool (and strange) game ideas), giant numbers (Check out my various number pages below for some really big numbers), fruits (its amazing how many different types of fruits there are, most of which are nearly unheard of, like jabotacaba, grumichama, or ilama), Heaven (sad to say, many people picture it as a very bland place, but once you toss out all the dull stereotype views and investigate it closer, Heaven takes on a nature of immense excellence, adrenalating activites, endless variety, and unimaginable exploration which likely includes higher dimensions), computer graphics (have generated graphics of many 4 and 5 dimensional shapes), building polyhedra (have built models of all 75 uniform polyhedra, as well as some uniform compounds, and some verfs of polychora), I also like reading and riding roller coasters (Haven't been to Six Flags in years, time to go back).

Here's a list of my various pages.
Polychoron Web Site - NEW CONTENT! March 2008 This is one of my most popular sites, it has been renewed and is filled with new pics. This site deals with uniform polychora and will have links to my other geometric sites such as polytwisters, I will soon add much more content, including powertopes, and polytera.
Polytwisters - Updated (Aug, 2007) This page describes the strange swirling 4-D objects that are related to polyhedra in the same way a circle is to a line segment. Polytwisters don't have vertices, they have equaters that swirl around each other. Their sides aren't flat, but are cylindrical. If one was placed on a 4-D table it would roll, no matter how you placed it. So in a way, these are rollable twisted "polyhedra" in four dimensions.
Exploding Array Function - NEW CONTENT! March 2008 This page deals with my Array Notation which I now call the Exploding Array Function - this is a function that generates some of the largest finite numbers known. Compare the old version which has 5 rules for only the simplest arrays with the newer version which has only 3 rules for any kind of array.
Infinity Scrapers - NEW CONTENT! March 2008 This page will introduce some extremely outrageous sized numbers that make googolplex look pathetic, I've added many new number names, some of the numbers have been redefined. This page will introduce numbers such as tetratri, gongulus, kungulus, the big boowa, and for the first time - the big hoss and meameamealokkapoowa.
Illion Numbers - Here's an extended list of numbers with the -illion suffix, this list goes past a googoltriplex. Some names have been modified, also there are some new illion numbers here.
Existence of God - UPDATED! (Dec, 2007) Ever asked that question "How did God get here?, or "Why does He exist?", or "is there a logical reason to believe He exists?", this page may reveal that answer.
Chemical Elements - Coming Soon What are the elements really like, I describe them from an element collector's point of view, expect some humorous comments, ex. (holmium could be described as "petrified lead", and scandium could be described as "darth aluminum"
Worlds of the Solar System - Updated (Aug, 2007) This page describes all of the known gravitized bodies in our solar system (planets, large moons, Kuiper belt objects, asteroids).
Thoughts of Heaven - Coming Soon This page will attempt to uncover what the real Heaven is like, and expose the boring stereotypes as false. If you expect this page to be warm and fuzzy - beware - it will be cutting edge and full of adrenaline and wonder!
Various Comical Pages - In the Future I'll sooner or later add some pages with humorous content, like some of my "Another Reality" cartoons, or "Don't You Hate It When.." statements - stay tuned.
Welcome to the Fourth Dimension - Coming Soon Some time ago I started to write a story about a man who stumbled into a four dimensional world - I'll reveal the first two chapters here.
Forever Endeavor - Coming Soon I also started writing another story about a man named Mr. Bentley who found an opportunity to earn a million dollars. All he needs to do is build ten counters, he must stay there until the job is complete. After starting this job to make the counters with a mysterious co-worker named "Compadre" who never speaks, but has a frightening stare, he found out that it would take MUCH longer than he could ever imagine - I'll introduce the first chapter here.
