Transparent Tesseract

[Nash1a]

That's not right...

I think I just saw a couple of hot polygons making out!

[Majezon123]

damn...

[stadavsten]

i'm trying hard to imagine the fourth dimension, how the hell is it possible?? this video is great but i need it longer so that it can melt in better..

and yes, carl sagan takes up the subject in the cosmos series (that everybody ought to see!!)

[TheWindClaw]

That was an awesome segment is Cosmos as well!

[sockmonkeysrock]

@stadavsten i know right its frustrating i wish i could see four d

[MrGH1980]

is this the shape/dimension carl sagan talks about in "Flatland" ????

[CUB3FR34K]

????????????????

[MetallicRoses1]

lol the only reason im wacthing this is becuz i saw the ice age in 4-d

[hukt0nf0nikz]

im loling

[sabacone]

damn

that like seeing the 4th dimension

[mattyhulla]

ya just gotta love this stuff!!!

[zackpots]

THAT SERIOUSLY JUST KILLED MY BRAIN. =D and now it's alive again...

[Mrules4ever]

sooo..... which way is it rotating? left, or right? or up or down?

[xam714]

left and in the four-dimensional upwards direction

[mattyhulla]

It's actually rotating in neither. And its actually rotating in all...

[Mewpwnz]

It rotates in four dimensions. Rotates in axises y, x, z, w.

[URIZHEY]

I dont understand this vid. What ir a "W" axis? o_O

[Mewpwnz]

The fourth one.

[zackpots]

how do people know how the w axis moves to make an animation of it? people are verry smart. VERY SMART.

[spartan5397]

so wait is it moving or rotating or what

[schmoogleman]

a tesseract is 4d, and this is a 3d shadow of that 4d object. when the 4d object rotates, this is what the shadow looks like.

[Mewpwnz]

It's only rotating. In 4 axes. Look at a 3D cube with lines only (aka transparent) and see how the lines move through each other still.

[Mrules4ever]

OMG!!!!!! I finnaly get it now! thanks a lot, man!

I looked at a video of a transparent rotating 3D cube, and it looked like it was going inside itself! it all makes sense now.

[spartan5397]

wait what is that moving or rotating of what ARGH

soo cunfuzzling

[Cyrylonne1]

Looking at those things is annoying ;)

[binary132]

then don't look at em ;)

[a11natura1]

amazing.

Being stuck in the 3rd dimension can be infuriating.

[anglaismoyen]

nice video. i think i'm ready to plucked into the 4D world now, i'm just waiting for A Hypersphere to come along (ever seen/read "Flatland"?).

[Wolfman992]

I think my brain's going to implode.

[vatltatl]

hahahahahahhahahhahahahahha good one ahhaha

[BobForehead]

This one's even better, perhaps...mad props!

[hanko2001]

Great videos! Would be even better if they looped for longer time.

[throughthedoors]

Thanks! I'm planning on making a video compiling all 6 possible plane rotations, perhaps a minute long of each rotation. I'm open to suggestions.

[hanko2001]

Can you give explanations? I think longer time is better; people get absorbed by staring. What software do you use?

[throughthedoors]

I use Blender, a free 3d raytracer. I used python script to properly project four dimensional objects onto the 3d space provided by Blender. I can try to give better explanations, but it usually takes a very long-winded explanation if you're new to 4d objects. There are many sites that explain tetraspace and tesseracts very well.
