4D Philosophy - Research Completed text typo ?

The text says:

"Now humanity has a basis for understanding the differences involved in the 3 additional space dimensions and the additional time dimension."

shouldnt "3 additional space" be "3 space" in above text? :notsure:

No. It means exactly what it says: '3 additional space dimensions.' In GalCiv, the universe is a 6-space (presuming that that term can be used for a domain with two time dimensions).

This phrase came to be in GC/OS2 at about the time scientists were talking about the "time" and "space" dimensions actually being several dimensions each. I remember "Scientific American" having a big writup on it, but I don't remember the details sufficiently to critique the research completion text.
