sooo, if you build a square by attaching FOUR edges, and building a cube requires SIXE faces/squares, then building a hypercube is EIGHT cubes! Which is why we (3D peoples) dont see the eighth cube when it's spinning because it's hidden!
The proper terminology for this presentation is called a "net," I believe. Cool animation, but it would bring the point across much more powerfully if you could show the tesseract net warping into the cell-centered projection by stretching the faces of the outer cubes until they meet each other.
A tesseract is a higher dimensional object. There are multiple ways to picture it. Not just one. Actually it has no "true" three dimensional form, because any 3d representation of a hypercube is just a projection anyway. The only "place" where we have a chance to visualize higher dimensional objects like a hypercube is our mind. This video is a guide to that. Nothing else.
@TheForce74 YES! we are to simple minded in a 4d universe things would seem to vanish before our eyes and it would move and uknown direction only to come back to a 3d direction once agian appering

Very simple. Even the simple minded should get this now :P

Now, try and fold the 8 cubes at the end (using the fourth dimension) to form a tesseract.

cool now i could make one
if only i could figure out how to put cubes together somehow

@leotheloser I know how, go to the 4th dimension.
