Assuming that in some universe, 2nd dimension beings exists, how would they see? Let's assume they're human like us. They look forwards at another human, they'll see them in the first dimension because they don't have depth, so they see a flat line. Would they see everything in the thickness of an atom (even though an atom, as small as it is, is a 3D object)? How would they know what they're looking at?

There probably isn't an answer that isn't hypothetical, but I couldn't stop thinking about it the last couple nights.
