Everything about the way the article is written suggests it is about the potential for 2D life occurring in 3D space, and nothing about single dimensional realms.
Consider graphene, a 2 dimensional fabric in 3D space. I'm sure this is closer to the point.
PLUS, versus AND.

- ksaj 7y agoYou wrote "and" where it is a plus. That isn't in the title of the publication.
- messe 7y agoThe N+M dimensions notation from physics refers to N spatial and M time dimensions, in this case N = 2 and M = 1. The title should be changed to "Can Life Exist in 2+1 Dimensions?"
