Alright, thought about it. What I'm saying here is that if there is an additional dimension, you should be able to notice a curvature of a lower dimensional object in at least one of realities additional dimensions.

But other anons before just claimed that there can be curvature in n-dimensional objects even though there is no (n+1)-th dimension. But I have another example for that. See pic related. Think of it as a piece of paper that is glued to the table. The paper is a 2D object and because it is glued to the table, it also has no way of leaving a 2D space. The paper basically exists in a 2D world. However, us humans have 3 dimensions available and as we look at it, we can say that the paper has a curvature of 0 at any point. If it had any curvature != 0, we would see it in the 3rd dimension, as demonstrated by the meadow example. Now try to give the paper a curvature without requiring it to leave its 2D-only-world, e.g. without somehow removing the glue and pulling it from the table. Pro tip: you can't.

Not saying I'm right and you are wrong, but what is inaccurate about my examples. I just want to understand.
