It's not technically a one dimensional surface but any line is, by definition, one dimensional. What I should have said was a line, as a surface in nearly all cases has both length and breadth, which makes it two dimensional. That was a mistake of semantics on my part....one of those things that happens

It'd be strange watching something in one dimension propagating, especially in Flatland, because of their unique perspective on things.
