which dimension is that again?
"If you'd like to know, I can tell you that in your universe you move freely in three dimensions that you call space. You move in a straight line in a fourth, which you call time, and stay rooted to one place in a fifth, which is the first fundamental of probability. After that it gets a bit complicated, and there's all sort of stuff going on in dimensions thirteen to twenty-two that you really wouldn't want to know about. All you really need to know for the moment is that the universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking it's pretty damn complicated in the first place."

"Scientists from Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute and South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute adapted commercial germicidal ultraviolet appliances that purify the air with UV-C light rays and deactivate harmful micro-organisms like viruses and bacteria."
βOur study aimed to explore new ways in which to protect aged care residents from harmful outbreaks of viruses, including Covid-19, without disrupting their day-to-day activities,β Professor Rogers said.
βBased on our findings, itβs difficult to see why you wouldnβt install these appliances in aged care facilities.β
