4D torus fly-through cross-section

[Frisbieinstein]

time is the 4th dimension! This video is wrong!

@Frisbieinstein Means spacial u cunt

Hi, im wondering if this would be acceptable in topology. Thanks.

you'll never see a higher dimension than the one you are in, you cant see the box you live in if you are "in" the box, you can only see it from outside the box

theres no unidirectional notion of time here...d00d

[wenaolong]

When we insist on a unidirectional notion of "time", such as the notion of cause and effect as we understand it will espouse, we are unable to visualize the real dynamics of a fourth dimensional "object" or a fourth dimensional "space" generally speaking. The way to come to grips with this is psychological before it will be mathematical or logical.

[nolsmtm]

time is just like a spatial dimension, but we percieve it a time as we can only progress through it at a constant rate,

but good video, 3d cross section fly throughs are a great help for imagining 4d shapes

[wenaolong]

@nolsmtm Exactly what I keep saying!!! I'm not a mathematician, but I know that there is no specific quality of time except a certain form of perception of a higher dimensional space such that the higher dimension of space is restricted from view in some way, so that in our case we only see one volume of a multi-volumetric object "at a time". Then again, it is also more than this, and has to do with quality and experience, not quantity and "object in space" embededness.

needs to consider spin

Actually, we can draw a picture or animation in 3D because we have the mind to extract the sense of the 3D world. In similar way, I believe we can project the image of 4D in 3D and see how we can have the brain power to manipulate it. In addition, I found your animation looks very like a drop of liquid seperate and merge again with the surface tension. It is not strange why some people interpretate time is the 4th dimension.

[argumzio]

People assume time is the only fourth dimension out of ignorance of the mathematics. Not very strange, really.

[GManNickG]

Seriously.

This is the first video on something with greater than 3 spacial dimensions where there wasn't some big argument of arrogant fools screaming "time is the 4th dimension! This video is wrong!"
