Hypercube animation

[TeamFortressgineer]

brain.exe has stopped working

[apomerenke]

ahh my mind is fucked

[Ingichs]

It's really hard to find a date at this dimension! isn' t it? :D

[dabom0282]

This is not a hyper cube.

[VBEducation1]

@dabom0282 umm...actually it is but it is a 4d model on a 2d computer screen so this dude is just trying to show what it looks like if you were a 4d shape

[TheDeridor]

I understand (roughly) what a tesseract is, but what exactly is going on in this kind of animation? what is the animation it is going through?

[CrashBandiFan3000]

@TheDeridor time?

[Dylans503]

@TheDeridor bullshit. the cube is rotating around bullshit. the shit is everywhere you look actually.

[GeoAl09]

there needs to be a 3D video of this to make it less confusing.

[Deltalock121]

The 4th dimension is crazy. At one point you see two cubes, one smaller and one bigger. And if you pause it at 0:06 you can see 4 distorted cubes

[DELTAFORCEADC]

0:03 - 0:10 is the best example of the 4th dimension

[ZombieBlobs]

even though you have a double rotation going on there- i think your missing one point of view. this point of view looks like simply two equealy sized cubes connected, i did not see that point of view here

[DELTAFORCEADC]

@ZombieBlobs its not just two cubes rotating differently, its very complex look around at more 4th dimension videos, not just example ones like this, but one that explain it. It will help a lot

[ZombieBlobs]

@DELTAFORCEADC i believe i do understand, but my point remains the same. what you show is a terresect, but at a limited angle. just how a cube on paper can look like a small square within a big square, or two equealy sized cubes connected at the corners, a terresect on a three dimensional surface can look like a small cube within a big cube (which you have here) , or two equealy sized cubes connected at the corners. in that case, when you show one angle, it should seem like how i explained it

[fabiopinna]

@ZombieBlobs everything is correct, but it's spelled tesseract.

[ZombieBlobs]

@fabiopinna oops got it. btw why is it called a tesseract when the next hyper cube is a penteract, hexeract and so forth. shouldnt it be called a quaderact?

[fabiopinna]

@ZombieBlobs Nope, tessera is (modern) greek for "four". Ancient greek would be "tetra", which I'm sure is more recognizable, but the word tesseract has been invented in the late 19th century. Penta and hexa are greek prefixes, too. Quader would be latin, but greek is the language of choice for geometry - they basically invented it two thousand years ago.

[ZombieBlobs]

@fabiopinna ahh got it

[DJequalizee]

marajuana is a hellofadrug

[imranhamid99]

Its a square slippery snake -.-

[LightningDonkey]

does anyone else have an erection?

[ArchonDuPlex]

I get it.

can't explain it, but I get it.

[1chinar]

living inside it!

[alquiora]

A((A^(T)A)^-1)A^(T)b FTW!

[ordosincorporated]

@ronmann606 Thats not the problem. The problem is seeing whats OUTSIDE the cube in 4d which is actually "your" inwardness. Whats outside the cube is non-personal somethingness. In sanskrit there is a word that is appropriate. Tattva or in latin, thatness. More accuratly tattvakasha. The 5th element of matter (nonmatter), dimension and therefore also space.

[ordosincorporated]

@TomahawkNinja Your seeing an xray taken improperly. Imagine shooting an xray with the person changing position each time. You have to correlate what you see to the xray. A cat scan does not do this. But it essentially is the same thing as an xray, only it extrapolates a different type of image. From many different angular shots it makes a "3d" from 1d slices.  In 3d you put the square inside the other and draw angles connecting the corners. If you use a point instead its an x inside a box

[ordosincorporated]

The cube within the cube only represents that in 4d they are next to each other not one within the other. To represent the shadow of a cube in 2d it only appears to be a 3d room as in a engineers drawing. A paralellogram. A true 2d being in 3d (we lifted him off his planeworld) will see it as a corridor. Actually he will not see the inner cube, only a infinite corridor. So we can see it as a box in a box, a endless corridor depending on our "projection". The projection *AS* pov is our 4d.

[LAEXCITOSAAPARECIDA]

4D Cube. It isn't constantly in motion and not consuming itself. Consider a plane with a square in it that's turning. It can turn clockwise, counter clockwise and it can stop. Its turning -- one side chases another, now put a cube on top of where it is. The cube turns in the same way and one square side follows another. It's like a stack of squares. The cube gets a couple new options - it can Roll in 2 ways. Depict like a smaller square "inside," behind a bigger and rolling will look similar.

[mkifyousayso]

Is this being rotated across four dimensions? Or is it a single object rotating in 3d?

[GraveUypo]

@mkifyousayso it's a 3D representation of the shadow of a rotating 4D object.

the best way try to understand this is comparing the shadow of a glass cube projected to the ground. The shadow of a 3D object projected into a 2D surface. This is the same thing, except with 1 more dimension on both ends.

[crby101]

MUST... KILL... LINCON... oh sorry, what?

[MasterADG1]

mind=blown

[MsVeve94]

it`s from inside to outside

[xN8Gx]

I thought hypercube was 5D? This is a tesseract

[PrPL3Gaming]

what the dookie?

[bobbybob1471]

my mind has sufficently been fucked. Well done, good sir.

[FlyingZamora]

they said that if this really were the fourth dimension, the cube on the inside is the same size as the one on the outside, and all of the sides ALWAYS stay a square and are the same size. weird, huh? (^.=.^)

[omgtkseth]

The white edges help a lot.

[kruxy404]

what is this sorcery

[IncubusGrauen]

this is witchraft, burn him!!!!!!!!!

[MrTheanimemaniac]

confused

[TheSupermariogabriel]

i had a dream like this but then it started yelling into the toilet and speaking spanish

[Mycophilliac]

Whoa. That scared the shit out of me.

[MarkNie1]

a 4d hypercube's shadow fully consuming it and the hypercube becoming the shadow and the shadow becoming the hypercube? wierd.

[PhoKingRice]

If GLaDos or Wheatly saw this, they'd overload

[autryj00]

@PhoKingRice Just GLaDOS. I don't think Wheatley'd even know what this was, even though he would pretend to.

[HypercatZ]

If the area of a square is X*X and the volume of a cube is X*X*X, does that mean the hypervolume of a hypercube is X*X*X*X?

[OuWiK]

@HypercatZ yeah

[LAEXCITOSAAPARECIDA]

@HypercatZ Yes you're right. And, as the outside area of a Cube is X*X (area of a side) times 6 -- the outside volumn of a Tesseract, 4D Cube is X*X*X times 8.

[StarryMarmite]

MINDFUCK.

+_*

[hippiefish101]

so in the forth dimetion, everything is in motion, even at rest?

[Masterful6O]

@hippiefish101 nope, this represents the rotation of a hypercube, if I understand correctly

[MetaIhead89]

if you look at it for a long time you can find a pattern

[MrNoseSnot]

my mids is blown o.0

[moe93098]

chuck norris can make this out of steel and it would move like that

[AD80808]

Yo dawg, we heard you like cubes, so we put a cube in your cube so you can cube while you cube.

[tbrew222]

......a 3d representation of a 4d object on a 2d surface? this is physically illegal.

[pencilman222000]

@tbrew222 and its created using 1d pixels... i know... freaky huh?

[526281georgeyury7]

i have a toy that can do this :) no its not impossible i got it at the dollar store :) basically its a cylinder but it has nothing inside. its edges are folded inside itself and connect, and it can move freely because of the liquid "inside" of it, therefore causing it to slip out of your hands, but still really cool :)

[pencilman222000]

@526281georgeyury7 SQUISHIES!!! I LOVE THOSE

[Mabozarichy123]

Welcome to Operation Mindfuck!

[UCLAfan24]

OH MY GOD I GET IT

[IDCbitchass]

look at it. a cube within a cube xD

[Vexild]

Wow O__O i just watched this about 15 in a row and realized how that thing works! Just follow onesquare :D

[PedroV362]

a trick to understand on an easier mode the movement: try looking just in a square while the movement happens, this way is much easier to follow the moement

[justinial1]

so, inside box and outside box are not bigger than each other,actually they are not inside or outside but we can't understand that in 3D, or what?

[TenebrousLyke]

@justinial1 Exactly. This is simply a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional representation of a 4-dimensional object. And no, our puny, 3-dimensional human brains can't fully comprehend the idea :/

[TrippyClock]

No...

[diegocrusius]

I sorry, but what makes this object more special than a regular 3d cube? If you need to add the time element to apreciate it being 4d - rotating it in this case - wouldnt you turn a 3d cube into a 4d object by just adding the time element and rotating it too? I can't see this object being more than a complicated 3d object which moves through time.

I know theres this 'shadow of a 4d object' thing but that argument just tells that ANY 4d object is just a 3d object 'moving' throug time.

[SirPaFla]

@diegocrusius

No in this case the fourth dimension is not time at all. The fourth dimension is a spatial dimension at right angles to the X, Y and Z axis. This is the fourth euclidian dimension not the fourth minkowski dimension.

[GraveUypo]

@diegocrusius no, animation is the only way to actually perceive a 3D object in a 2D screen. without the animation this would be missing way to many dimentions. like trying to represent a cube with only a line

[Xionialatron]

Hypercubes = 4D

This is a good try, but it's still 3D

[HerlockSholmes123]

@Xionialatron This is most definitely a 4-D object.

[w3irdo13]

@HerlockSholmes123 It is a 3D representation of a 4D object

[RoboticOctopus]

@HerlockSholmes123 not 4d just a 'shadow' of a 4d cube

[TenebrousLyke]

@RoboticOctopus Nope, the shadow of a 4-D cube would be 3-dimensional, like the shadow of a 3-D cube is 2-dimensional.

[RoboticOctopus]

@TenebrousLyke hence the apostrophes

[TenebrousLyke]

@RoboticOctopus Hmm... Ok, I see your point.

[zederish]

is it solid object and fixed?

[Darrin1997]

I finally Understand it! Its not rotating, Its going inside of its self!

[Recraw7]

@Darrin1997 No it's rotating google 4d tetraspace

[saultube44]

@Darrin1997 for us is doing it, in 4D space is only rotating, just like a 3D cube project its shadow on a wall, this is a 3D projection of a 4D object, a cube in this case.

[andykins118118]

imagine a 4d object passing through our universe.... it'd be like something moving through paper.... we'd be able to see a changing 3d "slice" of it as it moved through the 4th dimension. just some food for thought.

also, we can make 2d drawings on flat surfaces, can there be 3d flat surfaces in a 4d universe? could someone draw all sides of a static 3d object in a 4d universe?

[charlieking100]

According to my own research, I see that the matter existing in our universe, does not "Possess" the properties to exist in 4 Dimensions. On the other hand, Spacetime enables us to exist in N- dimensions , but matter is not "Qualified Enough". There might be other realms in space far far away from our own universe where "That different Matter" in that part of the multiverse has the capability to exist in 4 or 5 or any number of dimensions. It is possible if we can create Such kind of matter.

[ThePwnrMan]

screw the rubik's cube, i want a rubik's hypercube......

[saultube44]

@ThePwnrMan make a Internet search and you'll find a webpage where they have 4D, 5D, 6D & even 7D rubik cubes with solutions and the calculation of the possible moves of each, you can manipulate the cubes in the webpage and try to solve them yourself, really cool but time consuming.

[BlissfullAwareness]

I bet a 2d perspective person viewing a 3d cube would be just as baffled.

[BlockJuice]

@BlissfullAwareness: Whoa, that square is inside a square, and moving inside itself! HOLY CRAP

[hellomynameislololo]

What's more Confusing is that the 4D object is projected onto a 3D surface which is projected onto a 2D surface (the computer screen)

[StrikingMcLovin]

@hellomynameislololo ITS BEYOND COMPREHENSION!!!!

[RussVhasaTV]

@hellomynameislololo Whitch is impossible D;

[bushiyo2]

@hellomynameislololo Apparently 40 people hadn't seen the exact same comment from three years before you said it... Nice C&P

[kcftdr]

@hellomynameislololo agree

[Mew161]

@hellomynameislololo

And to be fair the computer screen looks pretty 1-dimensional looking at it from the side.

[Mew161]

@hellomynameislololo And to be fair the computer screen looks pretty 1-dimensional looking at it from the side.

[MegaLalablahblah]

@hellomynameislololo it's all just representation anyways lol

[Cool6r33ze]

i can indof get it, but i cant see it, but i get it, its just tht when the verticy im following gets to the fourth dimension rotating point it seems as if the verticy went inside the itself

[Zombiezdeath]

shit

[rahmer81]

I can see the 4th dimension, and it is good.....very good.

[sonus911]

If you follow the cube within the hypercube, you can conceptualize it as "rotating" in time. So its like a 3D cube moving in the 4th dimension time. And just like any good rotation, it moves from beginning to end and back to beginning again. I don't know if that's the best way to make sense of the rotation, but it works for me!

[WolfSweetie64]

Which way is it rotating?!

[TheSeptet]

@WolfSweetie64 It's rotating through the w-plane.

[wompstopm123]

@TheSeptet w plane?

[iTutorial0]

the problem here is that where trying to project a 4-d object in to a 2-plain....

[TheModCon]

@iTutorial0 Yeh, completely impossible really lol :D

[TonyHerco]

This is a tesseract...

[mahbuoy]

THERE IS NO CUBE

[hopyfullyapro]

We cannot see 4. Objects

[youngstunna79]

@hopyfullyapro We can see 4 dimensional objects, but they will look like to use 3 dimensional, like this video. Hyper-dimensions exist, this is what Einstein believed. According to Quantum Physics where atoms appear out of nowhere ("meaning traveling through "time") extra dimensions only makes perfect sense.

[VaginosaurusRex]

WITCHCRAFT!

[botXeon]

@VaginosaurusRex MINECRAFT!

[bleuchot]

If we have a 4d object in front of us, what will we see? Will it be 'invisible'? Can we pass through it? Or are those questions are simply not appropriates because I can figure out if a 2d writing on a sheet can pass through me...

[xXAngelxX9991]

Uhh There was something similar to this in Adventure Time :D

[amgt333]

hello

[amgt333]

hola

[amgt333]

i could actually picture this as an advance worm that would move by moving its whole body structure, another thing i see is how a a whole in space would look, or some sort of speed chamber

[TheVodica]

i sooo do not get this

[Deboredification]

Because scientists were able to visit the 4th dimension and bring back the shadow of a 4 dimensional 'cube'

[wimpyprune]

@Deboredification A 3 dimensional object has a 2d shadow...thus a 4d object has a 3d shadow. It is impossible for a human on this planet at least to observe a 4 dimensional object but you can see 3 dimensional objects

[tomazat]

help... me... i... just... died...

[redsite001]

IM GON THROW UP

[541step]

so, is this 4d?

[wimpyprune]

@541step Actually no its what a four dimensional shadow would look like so its still just 3d

[541step]

@wimpyprune ah ok

can we see 4d?

or 5d?

[bizzakfulify]

@541step No, it's impossible to comprehend 4d, no matter how trippy this shit is.

[markacanada]

To be honest it was intresting

[shadowace421]

its pretty much looks like a cube with another cube inside of it, turning itself inside out over and over again, looks painful

[MayThereBePivot]

Mind fuck

Your doing it right.

[moosey333]

wouldnt want to be stuck in that cube

[Serostern]

@moosey333 You ARE. Every time you enter a room you are stuck in such a cube =)

[AstroChickenII]

holy fuck.

[jjalseth]

Great, this helps show how they react with one another. A hologram of this would be cool.

[saintdallasorca1]

i don't know what makes this so interesting. if you see many animations and just look at ie, it becomes very simple and you feel like you must go on with your life and look at the other aspevt of the 4th demintion.

[RectumPilum]

What you actuall see is the shadow of the shadow of a four dimentional cube.

[picaticatara]

even though it doesnt seem like it the only thing moving is the angle viewing this static object

[Triple88a]

and that's how you travel through time.

[DJMC5ive]

So we are here, but no one believes us. :P

[RanOutOfIdeas4aName]

So 4d objects basically create optical illusions? Someone please answer this question, cause im really confused.=(

[lotrfreak2010]

@RanOutOfIdeas4aName Search on youtube for "Carl Sagan 4th Dimension". Should give you all the answers you need :).

[Laurelindo]

@RanOutOfIdeas4aName Let's just say that the surface of a 4D object would actually have 3-dimensional depth (yep, a surface with 3D depth), and that both cubes in this animation are exactly the same size.

Think about that, it's quite mind-boggling to say the least. XD

[trombone7]

Its just rolling through itself over and over like an endless tube sock, or one of those jelly gel slippery things you used to play with as a kid.

[cdog9991]

So how do we know what the 'shadow' of a 4d hypercube looks like?

[leotheloser]

@cdog9991 how does 4the dimentional light work ?

is it like an infinite light on all our timelines unless some 4d thing gets in the way

[cdog9991]

@leotheloser No comprendo.

This stuff is beyond me...

[Alvaro1762]

once i had a dream wich i was in a giant black place, then a light came and it was like a giant octogene made o small other octogones, and other light came, started to see everything i normaly see and everithing i was touching and something like i were in the middle of everything, it's not something that i can explain with words or even think on what i saw once again.i left the dream by force cause somehow it was painfull beeing in that dream.

[leotheloser]

@Alvaro1762 cool story bro

[FiddleEntertainment]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?

[leotheloser]

@FiddleEntertainment WOAH A DOUBLE CUBE

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[WarHeadVenom]

skalwma

[rockerrocklee]

Wouldn't a true hypercube also move up and down throughout it's formations, as it is at rightangled odds with every direction in the universe?

[IntroCutie]

I just got mindraped.

[TheShambler34]

I can do that with my head.

[szwarc1szwarc]

funny that all the angles are at 90 degrees...

[Yobiyokto]

Zomgish, that thing is somewhat weird unreal , if u imagine it in 3D world...

[MrLegendman3]

Mindfuck accomplished

[SilvanCleric]

I'm confused but amused.

[jangerhard2]

this reminds me of the old screen-savers on xp-machines

[SpaceTime4D]

@jangerhard2 Now that you mention it, I would love to have a screensaver of a rotating hypercube.

[TheGodzillaboy5]

Trippy

[mrcow94]

Its impossible to see a 4-D object, even imagine it, as we would only see part of it in our 3-Dimensional world. Exactly like how a 2-D object would only see part of a 3-D object. Cart Sagan with his 4th dimensional explanation, i think, does the best job of explaining what this is all about.

[thecoolguyDante]

This isn't a 4d animation...this is fiddling about with one perspective of a 4d object.

If you where to look at a hypercube from the front top bottom ect we would see this starting image...a cube within a cube...but if you where a 4d being then you would, if you turned it, that the cubes go all crazy around the shape.

[icekat83]

I thought the 4th dimension was time and the 5th was like this or am I just confused with something else?

[jamieslucky7]

@icekat83 You are thinking of spacetime

[danny899]

WOOOOW MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN

[Naminedeservesacloak]

Wow, this animation finally helped me understand hypercubes! *happy* All the other ones with fancy colouring to help you understand confuse the hell out of me, but this one works? Wtf is wrong with me? XDD

[mitro2828]

4D is strange >_>

[MwFreezd]

@mitro2828 4d is just 3d but in real time. someone correct me if im wrong?

[yeewaishun]

speechless beautiful. hope our next next generation can learn it at primary school. god bless you.

[TheLABABO]

You can't see or feel the 4th Dimension unless you have 3 Dimensional senses not with your 2d sights. A 1D creature can see a point, a 2D creature can see a line, a 3D creature can see a plane, a 4D CREATURE CAN SEE 3D (directions x,y,z and w rotation). So, watching 4D objects with your 2 dimensional stretched LCDs and monitors is a stupid thing.

[Nojaru]

the perspective is a bit off, but pretty cool still.

[dryadStone]

Glurb. My brain just crashed and had to reboot.

[Binglung]

pretty useless toy.

i bought one for my kid and it sat forever.

someone got it at the goodwill.

[Murakamizo]

beautiful, 6 cubes connected with all sides the same length, impossible to imagine in 4D but nice to imagine in 3D. Perhaps gravity is a 4D effect in 3D, a kind of space-time beautiful spherical distortion

[JoeShmoe0987654321]

@Murakamizo I want some of what you're smoking!  :P

[CorruptedVehemence]

Think of a 3D cube rotating like that on a flat piece of paper. The cube would seem just as weird.

[Soundfrequency]

This is a hypercube?

I thought this was called a tesseract.

A tesseract is to a cube as a cube is to a square.
