...higher dimension is the result of a lower one moved perpendicular to itself. Writes Pollard: "Heaven, instead of being above us in ordinary space, is perpendicular to ordinary space, and the eternal is perpendicular to the temporal dimension. The transcendent and the supernatural, instead of being pushed farther and farther away from us with each new advance in astronomy, are again everywhere in immediate contact with us, just as the dimension perpendicular to a plane surface is everywhere in contact with it, though transcendent...
Acetylene, deuteroacetylene, methyl and dimethyl acetylenes are strongly chemisorbed on alumina even at room temperature. The first three can also exist in a weakly adsorbed state. The strongly held species are held perpendicular to the surface through the acetylenic hydrogens, except dimethyl acetylene, which is held parallel to the surface. All the weakly held acetylenes are held parallel to the surface. The sites responsible for the strong chemisorption of acetylenes are different from those responsible for the strong adsorption of dimethyl acetylene. Surprisingly, no strong chemisorption of either acetylene or dimethyl acetylene was observed with silica...
LeCorbusier visited the site in the Fall of 1959 and said of the Visual Arts Center, "It must grow from the inside, without pretentiousness in the facade." Some unconfirmed reports have said that the building will have several non-perpendicular walls and plenty of glass...
...Manhattan architectural firm of Pedersen & Tilney. Hoberman rejected the idea of any kind of statue, because "there is so much photographic material on F.D.R." Nor did he want another anachronism such as a modified Greek temple (the Lincoln Memorial) or an Egyptian obelisk (the Washington Monument). Instead, he proposed perpendicular tablets carrying quotations from Roosevelt. Commented Jury Chairman Pietro Belluschi: "I hate to bring up Moses and his tablets, but this is a sort of version of them...
