  • Now, this is a shadow of a 4D cube onto a 3D plane right? So since we as 3D creatures are only able to see 2D surfaces, this is exactly what we would see from a 4D cube aside from the 3D rotation.

  • Look, we cannot see the 4 Dimension in a 3 Dimensional world. This is what we see when we look upon an object of the 4th dimension.

  • Wow, that's really impressive if you only rotate it in just 2 dimensions.

    Thanks for wasting my time.

  • hm, actually that's a 2D array of pixels that tricks our mind into thinking its a 3D abstraction of a 4D hypercube. If you're all going to contradict this at least do it right

  • This is the 3d shadow of a hyper (4d) cube, not an actual 4d cube

  • I can make this with origami!

  • this is a visual representation of a four dimensional cube. Seeing as we can't see the fourth dimension.. it'd be like trying to explain hypercubes to mental noobs.. doesn't work out. If this was complicated then the only real reason you clicked this vid is for the pretty shapes and the 'hyper' in the title.

  • lol 4d? the only time part that happened was the time wasted from me watching this video

  • @danny899 you're thinking of the 4th dimension as time, which is no longer done in modern physics. even if it was time, how do you see it? ...exactly. 4d is not in this universe This video is a 3d visualization of a tesseract , where each side is a cube, like what mandasity had said

  • YO DAWG I HEARED YOU LIKE CUBES SO I PUT A CUBE IN YA CUBE SO YA CAN CUBE WHILE YA CUBE!

  • Thats simply 3D sir

  • @matzoball101

    what else than 3d did u expect?

    a video that made u magically be able to watch into the 4th dimenson?...think before u write

  • @melmec

    Yeah but most videos have a hypercube rotating in the 4th dimension

    Although we can't actually see the rotation it just looks like its changing shape

    This video only has 3D rotation which is disappointing

  • @matzoball101

    nah, this video actually shows the -shadow- of a 4 dimensional cube rotating in the 3. dimension. this is how a 4d cube would look like if we would see one ;)

  • @melmec

    Yes but this is a fixed hypercube

    No extra dimensional movement which is disappointing

  • @melmec that would be awesome though! xD

  • a hypercube is another name for a tesseract, this is a 3d interpretation of a 4d object, since it is impossible for humans to perceive the 4th dimension, we can only perceive the shadows cast into the 3rd dimension

  • @CoBXD Just to nitpick, hypercube is an orthotope of more than 3 dimensions. Tesseract refers specifically to the 4-D case of the hypercube (tessera=4).

  • whats exactly hyper about it

  • FUCKING GAYSHIT!

  • people... You really need to watch Carl Sagan explain the forth dimension. Please do so immediately.

  • this is a "shadow" of a 4D cube, a hypercube, please stop flaming

  • what makes this hyper? its just a 30 sided shape?

  • You live in a 4d world! Time is the fourth dimension...look it up :)

    No one can make a 4d anything....FACT.

    These are just crappy 3d interpretations made by uneducated people :)

  • @lovinit19791 In the last century spacetime was developed, which unifies space and time but with a different metric so the time dimension is treated differently from Euclidean space. Why don't you look it up?

  • @lovinit19791 not all thinks time is a dimension more like a direction. Because it can only go one way, but the other dimensions can to two ways. Some scientists say time only could be a dimension if there was time and anti-time. You can think time starts at one point, but you can go before time started you can only go back to the point where time started and forward.

    Of course many scientists say the 4 dimension is time and they mean this because you can only see the real function of time in4D

  • Of course this is a hypercube! That is, if you're thinking of either Cube 2: Hypercube or the shadow a 4D cube leaves on a 3D "surface"

  • no,this isnt 4d at all

  • woooo 4d porn!

  • Comment removed

  • This is of course a 3d shape, but don't be fooled, it has relevance. Think of it like the shadow of the 4d shape (because we cannot percieve 4d).

  • uh this is a tesseract unless im missing something here

  • Oh man, you fail!

  • I can´t wait to see porn in 4d

  • @sadisth06 ohh,that easy gust go to a strip joint.

  • Hyper? HA! That just a cube with the eges extendet out!

  • maybe sides extended in ? oo

  • you mean retract

  • @GamerBryant64 you see a hpercuper would actualy have a full covering over the cube so badicly a hypercube has a trange formation on the inside, thus he was just showing the inside

  • @GamerBryant64

    It is just the spinning that makes it not a hypercube.

    Otherwise it is one.

  • @Memington and how do you figer that.

  • @GamerBryant64 oh, i failed to think enough about it. i guess if that was a 3d shadow of a 4d cube it could still spin like that without changing its shape.

  • @GamerBryant64 The edges that are extending outwards are right angles from a 4D perception.

  • @GamerBryant64 Your rebuttal would be better if you sounded intellectual.

  • @GamerBryant64 No, it's a 4D cube revolving around a 3D axis.

  • @GamerBryant64 its the shadow of one

  • ExtremeCardControl, time is real dumbass,its not mabe by us, its a concept of life.also, all you dumbasses out there, we dont live in the 4th dimension, we live in no defenit dimensions, like the 11th dimension is spaces collapsing and going in to each other, so in lala land out in the middle of space, there might be a blackhole that colapses into each other.even though its in the middle of space,its still in our place or dimension. so we dont know yet.

  • It's strange that i've been watching video's about this for so long that you're making sence to me.

    But surely the 10 and 11th dimension can be infinitly repeated so there's a kinda infinite number of dimensions.

    Finally how do we know that everything even conforms to our idea of dimensions?

  • To the maker of this video. You haven't quite grasped the concept of a hypercube. I can't imagine a 4d object what would produce this kind of shadow. It would have to be able to change shape.

  • Most physicists will tell you that we actually live in 3 dimensions.

    Dimensions usually oniy entail the spatial ones. Time is a continuum along which are consciousness runs. It is impossible for us to step out of this continuum and look at it objectively.

  • And we are not four-dimensional. Spatial dimensions and time dimensions are different. Four dimensions is understood to mean four space dimensions.

  • Time IS a dimension. Humans move through it at all times. Any point in time is equal, and time does not "flow"; we are just moving through IT. A portion of an object's energy is used for moving through time. That's why moving very fast makes time move more slowly for you. Why don't you guys go read up on your physics :D

  • if the fourth dimension is time, well then WE are fourth dimensional creatures...

    And, time isnt real! its invented by human.

    So i think the fourth dimension is a spatial thing that we can not comprehend.

    We can only think about it.

    Thats what i think so far...

  • this is nor a teseract ... this a shadow of a teseract.....theoreticaly

  • The object in this video isn't even a shadow of a tesseract. The person who made this video obviously doesn't even know what a tesseract actually is.

  • @urantivirus well that brings up the question... does anybody actually know what a teseract looks like ?

  • Not exactly. But we can calculate what it's shadow should look like. Compare this video to throughthedoors' video in the related videos. Or look up the hypercube wiki to give you a good idea.

  • @urantivirus i think i get it ....thx a lot :D

  • @urantivirus so why are you complaining about the teseract(s) form( what is a plural teseract? teseracti, or teseracts,s,s???) that was my question please and thank you for answering. Also I would like to note...WHO CARES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE??? its fun to discuss and ebate, but when it comes down to it...why even bother?

  • Amagine a cube within a cube, held together by right angles. Each line of the cube is of an equal length. I can reread later to confirm wether or not this is true, but thats my impression. The reason we can't see it, is because we are stuck in the third dimension, so we can only think about it, but not visualize it.

  • @Aluenvey i figured as much...but the thought of 2 cubes held together by right angles with equal lines is just paradoxal to the human brain....i think human kind wont ever figure this out.....

  • Sorry if that seemed know it all ish. I meant that is the impression i got. XD

  • None of the cubes are actually inside of each other. They are all on the surface of the hypercube, meeting adjacently.

  • ever heard of Einsteins theory of relativity? Of course you have. It suggests a 4th dimension being time, and  with further reasoning dictates that the faster one travels the slower time goes for the traveling object.

  • is time really passing you by or are you just living out the future?

    does time even exist or is something that has been made up to describe the passing by of events?

    is it possible that in space time does not exist? that our bodies and minds do not decay?

  • Yes, time is just A word,

    A concept invented by humans.

    In actual fact theres no such thing as time,

    There is only the perpetual nowness

    of the moment.

    No past,

    No future,

    Just......the now............now!

    (rideralgh)

  • why do i hear sooo many people saying that time is a demension.

    Einstien said time and space are interwoven and they are as one. I would imagine seperating them as part of a deminsion would be hard.

    I not a scientist but i'm pretty sure that a deminsion could be defined as a directional plane.

    In other words, we can go left right up down and diagonal but....a 4d object can move in a direction we can not comprehend.

  • Time isn't some bloody dimension. Time passes everywhere. Time is not defined by light and has no speed nor no strict values.

    If you belive that time = light then you are very mistaken. Just because gravity can bend light doesn't mean that it bends time for example. All it does is make you see what happend somewhere far away a little later.

    There is no "timeline" things just take time.

  • FAIL

  • this is far from fail, the hyper cube is a reflection of a 4d cube theorized by viewing the reflection of a 3d glass cube on a 2d surface. we can't perceive a 4d object, but we can it's shadow. hypercube WIN!

  • It's all bullshit. If we can see it's shadow, why don't we? Why don't we see ANY shadows on any 4D object. Why aren't there random shados nobody can explain somewhere, anywhere? We have hubble, it sees quite far. There are no "weird" shadows anywhere. There's much weird stuff, but no reflection of a 4th dimensional object.

    You know why? Because it doesn't exist, because mathematics can't explain everything.

  • disprove the existence of the 4D using mathematics and i'll believe you.

  • It's not up to me to prove the existence of god to you. It is up to you to prove his existence to me.

    You have no empirical evidence of the 4th dimension at all.

    I could easily prove gods theorethical possibility to exist to you if I take god as the source of it all. It is the same with 4D.

    But there is absolutely no empirical evidence of that such a dimension does exist.

  • i didn't ask for the proof of god, we're talking about dimensions. so shhhhh.

  • It's just as absurd.

    It's just as the god debate.

    "If god existed he has created the wordl"

    "if the 4th dimension existed it could be mathematicly explained".

    But there is no emperical evidence what so ever for its existence so it's just like beliving it god. The burden of proof is on your side.

  • for one to deny the existence of what he does not understand without reason as to why he does not believe, forces the burden of proof upon himself.

  • No point in this discussion, don't you agree?

  • pretty much. if there are 4d shapes, cool. if not, that's alright.

  • If we can see something's shadow, we can see the object created by it. Those shadows probably are there, you just can't see them, because you view in 3 dimensions. HURF DURF.

  • Sure you can, a 2 dimensional creature could "view" or "sense" the shadows of a 3 dimensional creature. In theory.

  • I was assuming he was saying he's disproving the idea because he doesn't see random shadows in the air and on the ground. I was saying it wouldn't be like that.

  • You do realize that 3D objects *are* the shadows of 4D objects, right?

  • Please show some scientific source to this.

  • Are you serious?

    Time is the fourth dimension. We're four-dimensional objects intersecting in three dimensions with the physical world.

  • its a cube:

  • ...with concave sides.

  • The 4th dimension have been left out completely.

    This is not a hypercube.

  • A tesseract is 4D and can only be viewed as a series of 3D cross-sections. For this to be visible, the tesseract needs to be rotating around it's 4th dimension (kata or ana).

    In essense, what you have done is drawn a shadow of a square and called it a cube. And then got the camera to move around that square.

    You've missed the boat.

  • This is the worst representation of a tesseract I have seen

  • mc love the two comments below this

    lol

  • i pooed

  • i farted

  • It's the shadow of a tesseract (a 4D cube). Why? Because The shadow of an object of n dimensions is in a (n-1)D, that means that the shadow of a 3D object is in 2D (that is correct, the shadow of your body has only 2 dimensions. A 2D object has a 1D shadow. So that means that a 4D object has a 3D shadow, whitch is impossible in 3D space to comprehend, as well as the fact that in 4D the 4 dimensions are at a 90 degree angle between themselves.

  • Talk about a solid evil shadow :)

  • no it is a 3d cube with big holes in it.

  • I think this is supposed to be the shadow of a hypercube.

  • looks good

  • Yeah the discription is wrong though. This is a 3D cube. You may have been onto something if the fourth dimension wasn't time.

  • Time is the 4th relative dimension which is different from the 4th spatial dimension, or what we are talking about here. There could be theoretically many different spatial dimensions. Please learn what you are talking about before you spread scientific ignorance in the real world.

  • we do not know wether or not time is a spatial dimention. that is all

  • if you ask me,since time is connected with space,time should

    have more than 1 dimension.

    so the 4th relative time dimension is the 1st time dimension.

    it would stop all the confusion between the 4th time dimension

    and the 4th space dimension

  • Relative doesn't mean concrete though, so it should stay as a relative instead of as it's own set of dimensions. The idea here is that time is not a physical law but rather a measuring stick that we use to gauge entropy.

    Think about it, time can speed up or slow down depending on a number of factors. Also once the last star in the universe burns out, time is essentially meaningless and immeasurable. Time is a yardstick without concrete properties so it cannot be a true describable dimension.

  • thats not how a hypercube rotates

  • sorry, but this is 3d.

  • read the description

  • 3 words

    READ THE DESCRIPTION!

  • well hes livin in one so maybe he should care?

  • hahaha *face palms*

  • I love that comment so much XD but really dimensions are not quite as dull as they seem at first, try to think about how you would look as a 4d object its quite amazing if you visualize it correctly

  • how can you visualize it

  • well theres no sure fire way of how it would look, but if we were to see from a 2d perspective, a 3d object be only a sliver of is what going through the 2d surface, so a finger would be a disk, well I believe just like someone else has said on another vid that a 4d figure from a 3d perspective would be blobs or amoeba like shapes, but like I said no sure fire way too see it, but seriously TRY and see it

  • Well, the colors are nice but the Playstation2 graphics and all-too-obvious three dimensionality jut don't cut it.

    Sorry.

  • that is only the shadow of the real 4d tesseract.

  • It's a 3d cube with cut out sharp sides???

  • looks like someone needs more maya lessons...

  • haha im sorry

  • How's that 4d ?

  • its not 4d it's the 'shadow' of a 4d object put into 3 dimensions :)

  • No soup for You!

  • looks 3d to me..

  • its a 3d shadow of a 4d tesseract or hypercube, just like a shadow is a 2d shadow of a 3d object

  • that's just retarded :]

  • no offence but there can't be a 3d shadow. its physically impossible.

  • ur taking the concept out of context. u can make a 2d representation of a cube on a piece of paper. even if every angle of the supposed cube is 90 degrees it wont look that way when u try to draw it in 2d. same concept. every angle on a 4d hyper cube or tesseract is 90 degrees, it just doesnt look that way when u try to see it 3d. much less 2d.

  • If you were a 2d being and couldnt look up and down to see 3d then if someone claimed 3d existed and that shadows would actually have an extra dimension called "depth" you would also say rubbish. Just because its beyond the scope of your imagination doesnt mean its physically impossible

  • Its physically impossible in the 3rd Dimension but in the 4th Dimension it is possible.

  • you cant make a 3d shadow, maybe 2 d, but still, its retarted cause cant turn 4d into 3 d

  • u can definately make a 2d shadow, it happens to you all the time you are in light, and you can make a 3d shadow of a 4d object you are stuck in the world of left right up and down, not thinking that there could be something out there that is not a direction that we can experience

  • shadow: MUST BE CAST ONTO A SURFACE

    surface: CONSTISTS OF 2 SEPERATE DIMENSIONS THAT CAN BE ROTATED AND TRANSLATED AROUND ANY OTHTER SET OF DIMENSIONS....so

  • You are wrong, using my trusty pocket dictionary by the side of my computer i came up with these definitions:

    1. dark shape cast on a surface when something stands between a light and the surface

    2.patch of shade

    3. slight trace

    the other definitons being to do with emotions. That does not define a shadow as HAVING to be cast on a surface....

    You say yourself "not about rubbish like art and English", Yet you have tried to use language to disprove a theory, surely you should know that maths...

  • is not limited by languages. Now instead of trying to ignore this through language.

    In the same way you can represent a 3d object in 2d. Its not hard to draw a cube on a piece of paper. but 3d pictures etc show it all. Among my favourite the work of julian beever. It is possible to represent what a 4d object could, in theory, appear like but in a 3d form.

  • yeah basically i misinterpreted him, i thought he ment casted on a 2d surface, would leave a 3d shadow. so my mistake

  • well that would have been my bad use of language in the first case then...

  • Ah, nice explanation, except for that fact that you can represent a 4D object on 2D, create a 3D representation of it, then transfer it into 2D (onto a screen, paper, etc)

    About the video:

    Why only a 3D rotation? why no 4D "rotations" (warps?)

  • This is true, just as u can represent a 3d object on a 1d object (not that that would be very useful)

    but i know what you mean, I sometimes draw them when im really bored in lessons

  • I think that kind of rotation well be after a plane not a axis. I don't see how someone can see that.

    You have to be blind and never see 3d to imagine 4d rotation.

  • what is this supposed to be?

  • A 4D cube in 3D space.

  • One projection of a 4D cube in 3D space....on a 2D surface. ;-)

    Odd that he's rotating the projection instead of the hypercube itself.

  • Um... ok

  • you're an idiot

  • I have problems with attemts to show more than 3-D with 3D , though in the abstract it can give some info, however , it is impossable to show in a form that our tiny minds can comprehend truly.

  • shine a light on a cube. the shadow it casts is 2-d but it can be identified as a cube. this is a 4-d object projected onto a 3-d space, projected onto a 2-d space. it looks like a flat image. our brains interpret it as a 3d image. you can't see the 4th dimension of it until you learn HOW to see it.

  • yes it is moron........

  • thats nothing close to a hypercube... thats just a strange 3d cube... a hypercube is a cube with a 4th spatial dimension, and this is not.

  • there's no such thing as a 4th spacial dimension

    4th dimension is by definition non spacial, only the 3rd is, not the 1st or 2nd either

    but agreed.. this is just a cube within a cube within a cube

    you can do the same with a few glass boxes

  • the animation is not ggod enough

  • You need to make it rotate in three or more dimensions to get the desired effect.

  • boring............

  • from the movie: cube: hyper cube

  • it is an irregular 3d object

  • I think he is trying to illustrate four spacial dimensions....the poor guy.

  • You beat me to the punch.

  • yea fo real i thought it to , but people sed it was jsut a force oO all my life i thougt 4d dim is time and actualy it' something when you can move in all directions all the time,any time Oo

  • There is not like A 4th dimension, there are some dimensions and there order is inimportant, yes you could see time as a dimension, but you could also imagine 5000 spacial dimensions, you still have to render it to 2D eventually (well 3D here, x + y + t)

  • i dont know about 5000 dimensions,if thinking so then thing that everything is infinity and that suck very hard,what i would is that the world just repetas,after an 11th dimension it bekoms dimension number 1...again...if there would be 11 dimension then the fakt is that you can look behind the 11th dimension ,and what then? there will be something i hope ... if the space is infinet than every thing is , if it repeats then its good , if it is klosed than we have a problem,we are in a jale...

  • yes even if its a jail we will never NEVER!!!completely explore.

  • but i think it is our desteny to explore it ... if we are here in a jale..., so we must be harvested some times, or somthing els, it is hell up here thene ...

  • i found this on a rubiks cube related vid, so thats what i have on the brain right now. im not sure if this is meant to be like a puzzle or just a cool thing, but if it required solving, it would require solving time..... strange. and if its not a puzzle, then every cube is a 4-d cube. as long as it has duration, it has a measurement of time. thus, 4-d. imagining the tenth dimension. awesome vid. :-P

  • how is this 4d i would like to know it lookslike a 3d ireglar shape to me

  • Search other models that rotate it differently.

  • I am from the 12th dimension, I will eat your soul!!!

  • what is a sun doing back there?

  • good point bucko1s. haha. And yes a tesseract is just a projection... like a cube on a 2d screen isnt a cube its just a 2d projection of a cube. Haha and this video is a projection of a projection.

  • ???

  • yea... who cares, and because of that wouldn't there be thousands of clowns with chainsaws?

  • theres a building in france that looks like that

  • projected into my 5dimentional mind

  • word.

  • atached to my 6d eyes O.O

  • lol nice one bucko1s lmao

  • descending in front of my 7d nose

  • now adjusting to my 8d mouth.

  • u son of a gun.. lol 5 Dimentional mind

  • hey cool i can make a hypercube outta paper!

  • No, you made a 3d slice of a hypercube out of paper. If you figure out how to actually make a 4d hypercube.. please do tell. *grin*
