Abbott was born in Maryland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.29.108.253 (talk) 15:10, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't he write this book? Anyone know anything about the First Edition of it? 1884 is the year of his Second and Revised Edition. --70.23.237.75 (talk) 15:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can anybody confirm that Abbott suffered from dimensia in his final years? Cgingold (talk) 07:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.nature.com/news/simulations-back-up-theory-that-universe-is-a-hologram-1.14328 IF the universe were a hologram being projected from a flatter version of what-/whereever we are, then Abbott would be vindicated, would he not?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.32.99 (talk) 20:14, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He IS vindicated. His (FICTIONAL) NOVEL is a classic. If what we think of as the universe is a simulation of some kind, Edwin Abbott Abbott could nver know, and not just because he's dead. TheScotch (talk) 01:19, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
