Are Black Holes Actually Dark Energy Stars?

I can't reproduce your experiment... I tried turning a piece of paper. At first it looked, say, about as large as a cantaloupe, but when I turned it got smaller and smaller until it practically disappeared, and it becomes very tiny... basically nothing more than a thin line in space. At certain angles I can barely see it at all. What is going on?

The distance between any two ink dots remained constant as you rotated the paper, which is what you would expect when the metric is x^2+y^2+z^2. If the "dimensions were not uniform," then the same transformation may alter the distances. Perhaps the parent is on their way to discovering relativity.

Some objects have axes of symmetry, right? Think of a disk or a cylinder or a sphere. You can rotate these on some axes without a change in shape. This concept extends to higher dimensions. Not that I agree with the first poster's point necessarily.
