@eilzed the cube within a cube, or hypercube, is just a way of visualizing a cube's 4th dimension's shadow would look like if the 4th dimension was an extension of the known three dimensions and not something weird or spooky. if you really want to learn, watch physics for future presidents and carl sagan's cosmos. this movie is dogshit.
SPACE is events and objects have occur relative position and direction. TIME is sequence of events and changing something. This is the 3rd Dimension. Something that doesn't follow this law is another dimension.
no no no but then is would mean that.... and....my god...... why didnt i ever see it before the answer was....jesus christ.....yes yea now it all makes sense now.
What about 4d. Well that is just a psichologicall concept created by our mind using the concept of infinity. We try to imagine infinity in everithing: infinity in space, in time, in temperature, in speed, in almost any thing that can be measured. Combining 3 concepts(paralelism, infinity and point(wich i think u could call 0d)) the human brain created the fourth dimension. Oh and if u noticed, I said above "infinity in speed". A lot of scientists disaprove with the speed limit of speed of light.
The only concept that exists in the physical world is 3d.
The 1d and 2d concepts only exist in the informational world and they'r just components of the 3d concept. Try finding a 1d or 2d object in the universe and u will fail. What about a piece of paper? Its 3d, the third dimension is still there its just too small to see it with your naked eye. Even if u imagine an object that is as large as our galaxy but only as thick as an electron, it has thicknes wich means it's 3d.
@GreaterDeity Why do you only think there are 4? Clearely There are 5, space being 4 and time being 5. If space isn't a demension......then look around you, what is the air around you? What do you walk around in? The answer is emptty "SPACE".
i find it funny how people assume things on the fourth dimension or second when they have never ever even seen what it really is, for all we know there could be a race that started off in the second dimension, invented technology and made it all the way to the fourth, we just don't know shit.
@amielord Humans know of at least 5 dimensions. The first is left and right, the second is forwards and backwards, the third is up and down. The last two are very complicated, the fourth is space, the dimension we walk in, the dimension that lets us live. The fifth is even more complex, TIME.The dimension of time gives us the ability to know we are alive, with out time there wouldn't be space for us to go up or down, left or right, forward or back. That is the 5 known dimensions.
@amielord I prefer to think of time separately from physical dimensions.
Dimension 0 = Random point in space (nil)
Dimension 1 = Sequence of points in space (x)
Dimension 2 = Plane of points in space(x,y)
Dimension 3 = Stack of planes in space(x,y,z)
Dimension 4 can not be visualized by human beings at this time but it is essentially a set of nested 3 dimensional spaces that contain planes that contain lines that contain points. Google tesseract and klein bottle.
@minecraftoutrage The 4th dimension is best illustrate by a 4d "cube". We cannot even understand what that looks like because we can only define what matter looks like in 3d space. Thus any meaningful representation of a 4d space would involve movement in 3d space. (Think of light in 3d vs 4d) Light in 3d loses intensity by the inverse square law from the source. In 4d space, this would be the inverse cubed law, and thus light in 4d space would appear to be much lower in intensity.
Consider: Human consciousness is the most complex thing in the universe. For consciousness to begin it may require a very complex three dimensional framework, like the developing human brain. Nature conserves complexity. It will tend to conserve that consciousness after the three dimensional body dies away. Dying is being pealed away from the 3D framework into a 4D world, much like illustrated in the video. The 3D body dies away, the consciousness is released into a "bigger" world.
@greydx Please describe HOW our consciousness can exist without our body.
In what way can consciousness interact with 4 dimensional space, and in what way does 4 dimensions support a consciousness where 3 dimensions does not. (For if we apply everything we know about 4 dimensional space, it must partly exist in 3 dimensional space, thus we should be able to detect it).
@CupCakeArmy1 Couldn't possibly do it with the word limit here. Read Talbot's Holographic Universe. Consciousness may not need physical support. 4th or 3rd. It takes root on a 3d framework, but once set, doesn't need either to continue.
2nd part: Only part of 4d appears in 3d and we do detect it, we call it time. Also read Bohm Thought as a System and Wholeness and the Implicate Order. This is fun stuff, keep after it. The TOE guys currently think there are 11 dimensions.
@greydx Time is not a spacial dimension in any way. Time is some measurement of change over a set period in a system. It is impossible to talk about time except through what changed in the ever fleeting moment called the present. Time is meaningless to most fundamental particles because they experience no time at all until they interact with something else. We detect this as a "change". If we measure periodic changing events, it is possible for obs in all RF's to agree on a specific "time".
I have heard of the holographic universe theory, but from what I understand it does not state anything about existance without occupation of space(reality can be thought of as an information construct of only 2 dimensions, however to have any information at all, it must have a physical reality). This is supported by the notion that the universe is flat and not round. Although I will have to do more research, I am always open to new ideas.
@greydx "Human consciousness is the most complex thing in the universe." I don't think I've ever heard anything more egocentric. It's like the dog saying it's the smartest animal in the universe. Of course he will think so, the dog is in the centrum of his universe, he cannot think outside his own brain. Kinda like dimensions outside of our world perception - they cannot fully be grasped while we're trapped thinking with our brains. When we're working with our unconscious we can get a glimpse.
@Trollkatt Yeah I see what you mean, but it still doesn't give me any understanding of the 4:th dimension. It just explains the difference between the second and the third. The title was a little miss-leading.
The 4th dimension is a conceptualization of space beyond 3 dimensions. Thus we can only relate it to the differences between 2d and 3d, since it is impossible to comprehend what 4d matter would look like (if it exists). From this we can draw our own conclusions for visualizing it, however mathematically it is very simple to describe.(again, math is an abstract description of reality, not reality itself) So what does 4d space look like? Good question! How does it act? wiki 4d space:::::::
The 4th and 5th and infinite dimensions can also be viewed as forces / conceptions / new ideational constructs we've yet to uncover. When we didn't have gravity as a theory we didn't see the 'inside" of nature's operation. The same with "relativity" ... we see things differently. They may be viewed as a different dimension OR merely an extension of the basic reality we already live in. Basically having more theoretical constructs provide deeper dimensional insights into natural phenomenon.
@4thDimensionGemini Our perspective universe is 4 dimensions (3 spatial and 1 of time). If I look at myself in a mirror my reflection isn't me, its me a billionth of a second ago because it takes time for the light to bounce off me and off the mirror to reach my eyes.
By using time we can certainly think about 4 spatial dimensions like a scanner taking 1 dimensional slices of a picture and putting them together to form a 2 dimensional image.
@llparasitell time and space are the exact same thing, thats why we get the term Space-Time in Einsteins equations. Time can be measured just the same as space, because time can travel in either direction.
What did this teach us, other than that it might be fun to torment the beings of the dimension below us? lol It didn't say a thing about 4th dimension.
a dot is a zero dimensional object, a line is 1 dimensional, a squre is 2 dimensional, a cube is 3 dimensional.
To get a line we need to connect 2 dots. To get a square we need to connect 2 lines. To get a cube we need to connect 2 squares. So if there is a 4th dimensional object, logic suggests that we would get it by connecting 2 cubes. From memory, I believe this 4th diminsional object is called a hypercube. So: dot, line, square, cube, hypercube. Everyone should read the book flatland.

Dont waste your time trying to understand or visualise 4 dimensions, or even 2 dimensions, they are figments of the mathematicians mind. They cant visualise them either - as much as they would like you to believe they can:-)
there is no such thing as 2D creatures/worlds cause even 1um thickness creature can imagine something maybe 1.1um taller than him, best example if u wanna understand 2D is our own shadow!
@coldseas lmao... didnt you learn any thing from this video, their can be in fact premature universes out there that has only been developed to have 1 dimension.
You forget the there's no such thing as thickness in a 2d world, The thickness would be infinitely zero, and they would not know what up is or as you put it , thickness.
The reason why the video shows 1 mili meter thickness is for a more simple reinactment of how out fingers can go through a 2d world.
@llparasitell No, dimensions can not exist on their own. It is not possible for there to be a 1D or 2D (etc.) reality on their own. You need to have all 11 dimensions in existence for existence to happen. 2D worlds do not exist. When people use examples of 2D worlds they are using them merely to help explain the concept.
@JBroMCMXCI ??? of course the first dimension can exist on its own.. how do you think we tell time!
and the second dimension? pick up an old road map and youll see the second dimension existing right in-front of you
the difference in dimension is in how you are currently looking at the world - one moment at a time
i hope you consider this instead of pushing the notion that you are already aware of the context of our existence - there is much more to be understood
@chedca I think you're misunderstanding my point; as evidenced in your very first sentence "...how do you think we tell time!" - key operand being "we", who exist in a multidimensional universe (all 11) and not a one-dimensional universe, or indeed any particular dimension on its own.
i understand what you are saying, they are all necessary to function as we know them (as you are saying) when the observer focuses on what he is going to do an hour from now he has isolated a 5th dimensional context to explore it - when we check what time it is, we isolate a 4th dimensional context to explore it
whether we exist in the 4th 5th or 3rd dimension is just a matter of what kind of things you are considering in thought right now
@chedca Think of it this way: the 3rd dimension is depth, but what is depth without width (1st dimension) or length (2nd dimension)? From this you can see that for the 3rd dimension to exist you need the first and second. This applies similarly to the other dimensions, both upwards and downwards in the hierarchy.
@JBroMCMXCI we are debating the definition of existence.
yes the third dimension requires details of the 1'st and second, but when you put them together you get only the third. a 3d object can be oriented in the dimensions above or below but that takes an observer - because you are the observer you will never see "proof" of that. unless you practice stillness in the presence of now, see what i mean?
@chedca Time is not a dimension of space, but a description of the interactions of matter at a macro level. You may think of time as a clock with a face and twelve digits representing the hours. Time is simply matter moving in the opposite direction of time.(ex: the hour hand was at 12, now its at 1 this is how we can measure time at the macro levels) Time is said to move forward after an interaction, because all fundamental particles cannot change except through and interaction.
@CupCakeArmy1 to me; time is the space that exists in-between possibilities. As we focus are attention from one thing to another we transverse time like a ship at sea
Hmmm, then how would you explain how time slows down in different reference frames, and how time is 0 for massless particles like the photon? Are you implying, an observer is required?
@CupCakeArmy1 You ask some nice questions, CupCake : )
The rate at which time is transversed for us reflects our expectations of the time required to reach the possibility we are heading to.
Let's say you're a grocer at a supermarket. You ask a coworker how to make time go by faster and he say's "don't look at the clock". In looking at the clock you re-orient your expectations of how much time it will take to do what. Contrarily - have one goal at a time, many of them!
@chedca I think your perspective highly influences your PERCEPTION of time, but it does not measure the actual passing of time. Unfortunately, time flows at the same speed for all obs in the same RF.
@CupCakeArmy1 "Unfortunately, time flows at the same speed for all obs in the same RF."
The perception of time is all there is :). Because we are not all of the same referance frame, because we are not all doing the same thing! until one becomes aware of the position of the sun, which isn't always the case.
In essence, time at its most basic level is purely a measurement of change. When we measure the change of periodic events time may pass in many RF's, but we can all still agree on what time it is
Hmmm we can see some aspect of the 4th dimension though we are 'forced' in one direction, how can the flatlanders perceive the 3rd dimension in this way?
...exist parallel to the higher degrees they can be called "parallel universes" - but don't have to. the degress neither are completely isolated from each other - nor are they totally dependent of each other.
apart from the "demention"... from 01:09 on: for two dimensional beings the finger looks like a line, not like it's shown in the video. the 4th dimension i call "scale dimension". one can go "up" (macroscopic world) and "down" this scale dimension. since the lower degrees of the scale dimension ...
@SinSear001 I was thinking aloud at a bible camp before. Said something along the lines of "if God existed in one dimension above ours, it would explain a lot of the "powers" he has.
@dracorider As they should. Inteligent design and Evolution both have the same problem you do. That is, they explain God completely. God claims he cannot be understood completely. Therefore...contradiction. Why didn't you have the guts to say, I don't believe what you believe, instead of infiltrating their Bible camp.
@expertcompsci I'm not saying I'm explaining God, I just brainstorm out loud. God, troubleshooting a computer, whatever. And I go to youth group to learn about religion. I keep my mouth shut at church and have small debates with my pastor when the other kids aren't around - we're both really good friends, and we've taught each other a lot about our own points of view. He's the one who asked me to go to the camp in the first place.
@dracorider Thanks. I now get that when you said "a lot of the powers" since you didn't say "all of the powers" you conceed at least some ignorance of the ways God controls the Universe or any Multiverses. Notice other comments on this video that urge "stop learning" or "I want to know everything". God, all throughout the Bible urges learning and wisdom while offering us a way to enjoy learning forever, never having to stop because we know everything. Read about heaven. Thanks.
@expertcompsci Yeah, and I understand that I'm most likely wrong. I'd be beyond surprised if any of my brainstorming - religious or otherwise - was actually right. After all I'm just a teen making guesses based on what I know.
And I understand that about the Bible. I have an interesting... personal relationship with it. I'm probably the only pro-religion atheist you'll meet. :P
@dracorider I've met (and read about) many "pro-religion" atheists. I understand your use of that phrase. What is rare but not unheard of is an atheist who honestly attempts to live, albeit impossible, as if there is no God. Is that what you are trying to do? Your posts seem honest. Incidentally , while most profess there is one God, they, dishonestly, live as if there is none.
@Pollothecool Imagine yourself sitting in a room. Imagine it as a photo now. That photo is a "moment". Take another photo :) Even though it's still you in the same room, it's another "moment".
Moments translate into movement through the 4th dimension. Although you're perfectly still in the 3rd, you're always (beyond your control) moving forward through the 4th.
You could say, George Washington is still alive, but in another "space" in the 4th dimension.
@Pollothecool he is in the fourth diminsion speaking to the second diminsion so he can move up dow lef right forward and back words and time is the fourth diminsion so he is speaking of a diminsion that is one half of our diminsion so if we have four they have two and there prospective would be different but she gose out to the 4th diminsion and sees everything differently the only probleam with this is that in the 2 d world wouldent be 2 d time is a diminsion so woudent it be 3 d
@Pollothecool I think the point the video is trying to illustrate, is that the 4th dimension is to us, what the 3rd dimension is to a 2D creature. If you put a 2D creature on a 3D sphere, the creature will start to move around, and conclude that the world is infinite. We, however, are perfectly capable to see that the sphere is a finite object. If the univerese we live in is infact 4 dimensional, maybe that is why we think it is infinite. Hope this made some sense :p
@l0rdoflol The 4th dimension is time. We actually live an 11-dimensional existence, but our reality only allows us to experience 4 dimensions - due to the nature of dimensions themselves. We can travel through the higher dimensions but it is not possible to exist in them; or at least a meaningful existence.
@JBroMCMXCI Yeah, i've heard Michio Kaku talk about how our univerese is floating in 11 dimensional hyperspace or something. 11 dimensions is just mind blowing.
@Pollothecool The 4th dimension is time. If you were to hold out your hand it would have a point in 3D space; an x, y, z position. Then if you want to move your hand to another point in 3D space it will take time - you have to travel through the 4th dimension, which of course is part of our reality - we live in a 4D world. If you wanted to 'skip' through time (ie travel to the future) instantly, you'd have to 'build a bridge' through the 5th dimension to connect the two 4D points.
This video raises a good point, those in the lover dimensions don't have a concept of those in the higher dimensions mainly because they consider themselves to be on the top when it is clear that they are not. I bet some skeptic "scientists" of the flat land would still ask proof for the existence of "up" even after Dr. Quantum's visit. "Were is up?" "Up doesn't exist" "Up is a trick of the squares to control the circles" and similar full of ignorance comments would be their most common words.
This doesn't explain anything except that we'll never be able to comprehend the fourth dimension (which I'm pretty sure is time) So, I don't understand how this explains the 4th dimension.
@Drumwannabe17 how can the 4th dimension be time? every dimension has time in to so that would make the 4th dimension different than the others witch to me makes no since?
i lack the sensory receptors to experience the 4th dimension, so of what use is even thinking about this? if an intelligence were to try and make contact with me from this dimension, it would have to manifest itself in a form i could recognize, say something like a random post on a random social board, but even then i couldn't learn anything from it outside of my own 3 dimensional understanding, so why bother?
@IQRainbows This video assumes that the relationship between 2 dimensions is the same, no matter what dimension you are talking about. So a being in a lesser dimension, ie. the 3rd dimension, cannot even begin to comprehend the dimensions above it, ie. the 4th dimension.
But nothing can be perfectly flat, because if you zoom in far enough you'll always end up with round particles right? If something was really flat would it not just dissapear?
@krentenbol343 It's an idea. Nothing in our view of the world can exist in two dimensions. If you were 2d, your gastric tract (throat, intestines, etc) would cut you in half. The point is that we are unable to comprehend (or see) anything that exists in higher dimensions, should such a thing exist.
Its one of the major problems with string theory :)
@cdmaster35 That's how we describe it because we live in the 3rd dimension. Our 3rd dimension selves experience the 4th dimension slowly, so if we lived in the 4th dimension, the entirety of our "time" would be like a package. So you would see your entire life supposedly like a timeline. The problem is that it would be infinitely large and complex if we have free will because that means we have so many choices that we make every second. But it would make sense if we lived in the 4th dimension
@BeAsTm0aD 4th dimension of spacetime, that is. im not sayin you are wrong, but what about the 4th dimension of space itself? where there is another direction we cant percieve
@weardrake Well, I would guess it to be "in and around and throughout" that would be time wouldn't it? space/time is linked. All matter moves around in "space" throughout "time" The only way we can understand another dimension is through example. Like, 4th dimensional beings wouldn't see "objects" like we 3 dimensional beings see and move objects, but to them it would probably be similar idea. I think the "flatlander" isn't fully represented. It's an example to grasp a concept.
@weardrake the tesseract is the simplest object we have to explain the 4th dimension. It's like a constant movement of shapes to us when you slow it down. The real tesseract would be all of it at the same time because it would just "be" a shape. I think it would look more like a solid circle, afterall most cosmically large objects in our universe takes the form of a circle to some extent. Pi is infinite to us, but to 4d being it would be like measuring a square on the dot.
@weardrake My definition of Time = a measurement for the rate at which matter moves in Space. To understand Space we need a concept of time because space is always moving, but to a 4d being, it is just one event,package,thing? I don't know. I like to call it a package because it's an assortment of objects, a chain, in one. It is ONE to them to us it's many. These are just my ideas btw, take them or leave them. I'm sure you have your own ideas as well.
@cdmaster35 so someone living in the 4th dimension would experience the 5th like we experience the 4th (time) - they could see the 4th (their objects) and view the 3rd (their drawings) like we can see the 3rd and view the 2nd. To us, it seems extremely complex, but to them, it would probably be simple. Of course it doesn't make sense to us because we don't know what it's like to live in the 4th because we only experience it. They would see it entirely different.
@cdmaster35 for us, but there's nothing that prevents some 4dimensional beings percieve OUR TIME as THEIR 4th SPACIAL dimension ;). and they'd have time as 5th dimension. and there's nothing preventing some 5dimensional beings to percieve both our and 4D being's time as 2 spatial dimensions, and their time would be 6th dimension, etc etc...
Suggest some of you read more about theoretical physics before you start acting like you know what a dimension is and the algebraic/geometrical way of explaining them.
Because 90% of the people posting on here are acting like they know what they are talking about, when they really don't.
These 2 D people remind me of today's arrogant scientists and the 3rd dimension is equal to the paranormal. She called him a ghost and imagine what a 2 D scientist would do...call her a superstitious "True Believer" because thier science only works with 2 D by definition. And the paranormal would be the 3rd dimension.
This didn't even TRY to explain a fourth dimension. It kind of just copped out and said "to understand it you must become it"...meh. There are better (albeit more abstract) ways of explaining this.
@SilentMott True. And besides; Just to be taken from two dimensions to a third does not make you 3 dimensional. His finger did not become 2 dimensional when he stuck it so rudely in the middle of Flat Square? It is strictly illustrative. It does not explain anything.
hehe he should have used his 3 dimensional penis to scare those 2D planes.

@minecraftoutrage The 4th dimension is best illustrate by a 4d "cube". We cannot even understand what that looks like because we can only define what matter looks like in 3d space. Thus any meaningful representation of a 4d space would involve movement in 3d space. (Think of light in 3d vs 4d) Light in 3d loses intensity by the inverse square law from the source. In 4d space, this would be the inverse cubed law, and thus light in 4d space would appear to be much lower in intensity.

Consider: Human consciousness is the most complex thing in the universe. For consciousness to begin it may require a very complex three dimensional framework, like the developing human brain. Nature conserves complexity. It will tend to conserve that consciousness after the three dimensional body dies away. Dying is being pealed away from the 3D framework into a 4D world, much like illustrated in the video. The 3D body dies away, the consciousness is released into a "bigger" world.

@greydx Please describe HOW our consciousness can exist without our body.
In what way can consciousness interact with 4 dimensional space, and in what way does 4 dimensions support a consciousness where 3 dimensions does not. (For if we apply everything we know about 4 dimensional space, it must partly exist in 3 dimensional space, thus we should be able to detect it).
CupCakeArmy1 1 week ago
@CupCakeArmy1 Couldn't possibly do it with the word limit here. Read Talbot's Holographic Universe. Consciousness may not need physical support. 4th or 3rd. It takes root on a 3d framework, but once set, doesn't need either to continue.
2nd part: Only part of 4d appears in 3d and we do detect it, we call it time. Also read Bohm Thought as a System and Wholeness and the Implicate Order. This is fun stuff, keep after it. The TOE guys currently think there are 11 dimensions.
greydx 1 week ago
@greydx Time is not a spacial dimension in any way. Time is some measurement of change over a set period in a system. It is impossible to talk about time except through what changed in the ever fleeting moment called the present. Time is meaningless to most fundamental particles because they experience no time at all until they interact with something else. We detect this as a "change". If we measure periodic changing events, it is possible for obs in all RF's to agree on a specific "time".
CupCakeArmy1 1 week ago
@greydx
I have heard of the holographic universe theory, but from what I understand it does not state anything about existance without occupation of space(reality can be thought of as an information construct of only 2 dimensions, however to have any information at all, it must have a physical reality). This is supported by the notion that the universe is flat and not round. Although I will have to do more research, I am always open to new ideas.

@greydx "Human consciousness is the most complex thing in the universe." I don't think I've ever heard anything more egocentric. It's like the dog saying it's the smartest animal in the universe. Of course he will think so, the dog is in the centrum of his universe, he cannot think outside his own brain. Kinda like dimensions outside of our world perception - they cannot fully be grasped while we're trapped thinking with our brains. When we're working with our unconscious we can get a glimpse.

@MXZ90
The 4th dimension is a conceptualization of space beyond 3 dimensions. Thus we can only relate it to the differences between 2d and 3d, since it is impossible to comprehend what 4d matter would look like (if it exists). From this we can draw our own conclusions for visualizing it, however mathematically it is very simple to describe.(again, math is an abstract description of reality, not reality itself) So what does 4d space look like? Good question! How does it act? wiki 4d space:::::::

The 4th and 5th and infinite dimensions can also be viewed as forces / conceptions / new ideational constructs we've yet to uncover. When we didn't have gravity as a theory we didn't see the 'inside" of nature's operation. The same with "relativity" ... we see things differently. They may be viewed as a different dimension OR merely an extension of the basic reality we already live in. Basically having more theoretical constructs provide deeper dimensional insights into natural phenomenon.

By using time we can certainly think about 4 spatial dimensions like a scanner taking 1 dimensional slices of a picture and putting them together to form a 2 dimensional image.

a dot is a zero dimensional object, a line is 1 dimensional, a squre is 2 dimensional, a cube is 3 dimensional.
To get a line we need to connect 2 dots. To get a square we need to connect 2 lines. To get a cube we need to connect 2 squares. So if there is a 4th dimensional object, logic suggests that we would get it by connecting 2 cubes. From memory, I believe this 4th diminsional object is called a hypercube. So: dot, line, square, cube, hypercube. Everyone should read the book flatland.

i understand what you are saying, they are all necessary to function as we know them (as you are saying) when the observer focuses on what he is going to do an hour from now he has isolated a 5th dimensional context to explore it - when we check what time it is, we isolate a 4th dimensional context to explore it
whether we exist in the 4th 5th or 3rd dimension is just a matter of what kind of things you are considering in thought right now
chedca 1 week ago
@chedca Think of it this way: the 3rd dimension is depth, but what is depth without width (1st dimension) or length (2nd dimension)? From this you can see that for the 3rd dimension to exist you need the first and second. This applies similarly to the other dimensions, both upwards and downwards in the hierarchy.
JBroMCMXCI 1 week ago
@JBroMCMXCI we are debating the definition of existence.
yes the third dimension requires details of the 1'st and second, but when you put them together you get only the third. a 3d object can be oriented in the dimensions above or below but that takes an observer - because you are the observer you will never see "proof" of that. unless you practice stillness in the presence of now, see what i mean?

@chedca Time is not a dimension of space, but a description of the interactions of matter at a macro level. You may think of time as a clock with a face and twelve digits representing the hours. Time is simply matter moving in the opposite direction of time.(ex: the hour hand was at 12, now its at 1 this is how we can measure time at the macro levels) Time is said to move forward after an interaction, because all fundamental particles cannot change except through and interaction.

Like, 4th dimensional beings wouldn't see "objects" like we 3 dimensional beings see and move objects, but to them it would probably be similar idea. I think the "flatlander" isn't fully represented. It's an example to grasp a concept.

@weardrake the tesseract is the simplest object we have to explain the 4th dimension. It's like a constant movement of shapes to us when you slow it down. The real tesseract would be all of it at the same time because it would just "be" a shape. I think it would look more like a solid circle, afterall most cosmically large objects in our universe takes the form of a circle to some extent. Pi is infinite to us, but to 4d being it would be like measuring a square on the dot.

@weardrake My definition of Time = a measurement for the rate at which matter moves in Space.

I like to call it a package because it's an assortment of objects, a chain, in one. It is ONE to them to us it's many. These are just my ideas btw, take them or leave them.

These 2 D people remind me of today's arrogant scientists and the 3rd dimension is equal to the paranormal. She called him a ghost and imagine what a 2 D scientist would do...call her a superstitious "True Believer" because thier science only works with 2 D by definition. And the paranormal would be the 3rd dimension.

This didn't even TRY to explain a fourth dimension. It kind of just copped out and said "to understand it you must become it"...meh. There are better (albeit more abstract) ways of explaining this.

@SilentMott True. And besides; Just to be taken from two dimensions to a third does not make you 3 dimensional. His finger did not become 2 dimensional when he stuck it so rudely in the middle of Flat Square? It is strictly illustrative. It does not explain anything.

Interesting, that these 2D beings will be punished if one use the A-word, and never understood the 3rd dimension... or do they? ;)
