  • spaces too far apart, but managed to see the 3d after i shrunk the screen, and its pretty freaking awesome

  • Watch while high its amazing!!!

  • Need hidden sides/places algorithm for these image programs. It'd be nice if a user could Enter Control on rotation w a choice of combinations of 4 type rotations, or 9 or more. A Cube has 4 major diagonals so one can sensibly choose more than 3 axes. Fixed Axes in 4th Dim, are planer-cross-sections. The 8 3D Cubes that make the Outer Surface - one can show 3D people swimming around in them, or unmoving 3D hunks "spots." If a 4D person turns a simple Cube 180 the people are mirror imaged, Alice.

  • try crossing your eyes and staring at this! it makes it look 3d!

  • 1080p, Color, less shaking, proper Steroscopic 3D. Things that would make this alot better.

    But I forgive him, this video was made in 2006.

  • @Amaroqdricaldari But you know what would be REALLY nice? A game using 4-Dimensional Geometry. Something like that would sell big.

  • @Amaroqdricaldari I suggested either a shooter game or a puzzle game. Say their was a game where nazis got control of a device that allowed them to travel in four dimensional space and your main character who was american got the same device and so you have a war game that simulated 4d space. I can't really think of how it would look.

  • @Amaroqdricaldari no it was made in the 1960's.

  • i get whats happening =D

    the middle cube is going up and down and spinning and becomeing larger i gess :P

  • @lancslad2009 this is the 4D. Move a flat Square out in the third D, and there is a Cube - with the starter square and ending square - and the 4 out sides of the starter square turn into 4 sq.s themselves - a total of six squares on the outside of a cube and the stuff in the middle. Notice all the x,y values are unchanged. The "middle cube" is the FAR cube asto the 4D viewer, if it isn't obscured (by opaqueness) then its "smaller" in the sense it is farther away - it's not inside.

  • Comment removed

  • it would be great if there was a 3D video of this. one less dimension to worry about since this video is in 2D

  • @GeoAl09 This video is in 3D! That's why there are two images next to each other. You just have to cross your eyes.

  • My roommate just walked in on me with my nose on the computer screen.

    Thank you 4th dimensional shadow for making me look crazy.

  • Total mindfuck.

  • this video gave cancer to my eyes, thank you

  • hooooollllyyyyy crap I gotta get me a 3d projection of a 4d cube!

  • i see it going 4 different directions

  • @chucknorris974 That's about right. The 4D Cube is like a Square and like a Cube. The Square turns clockwise or counterclockwise and it has 4 sides. Looked at edge wise - one side rolls forward after another as it turns around. 4 going in a row. Making it a Cube & looking at it from the side - one Square side follows another - 4 in a row. Cube with its now 6 sides can Roll forward or aft. There are two more versions of that 4 in a row. And 4D - 8 sides are Cubes and there are 6 ways to turn.

  • i can comprehend 75% of this tesseracts movement

    now isn't that amazing

  • Sponsered by the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.

  • do humans understand hypercubes? if we cant build them, how can we know this ain't another geometry useless figure?

  • omg that was so frekin awsome O.O

  • 20 people don't like hypercubes....

  • My mind cannot comprehend the movement of that hypercube, or it's form. Fuck. I don't have a clue.

  • This was a fucking trip.

  • BRAINFUCK

  • Watching this video was like....Uhhmm yea I can make that with pap- HOLY SHIT!!!

  • I'd like to see Rubik make a puzzle out of this one!

  • does that count as 4D :D LOL

  • MY BRAIN!!!!

  • PLEASE ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME..... i understand the first rotating part..... left to righ but then.......... I CAN'T understand the fucking rotating upside down part.... WHAT'S happening with the small cube inside the big one.... it's multiplicating ?

  • @TheWoried Well..... I THINK... I'm not sure so correct me if I'm wrong but when you look at something in the 4th demension you see it as, everything it was, is, and will be so if you could look at that cube like that.... then you got it! But humans cant do that so....

  • @TheWoried technacly speaking the tesseract/hypercube is a cube that goes on for infinity i dont understand it much either its basicly a cube inside a cube thats inside another cube with no cube smaller than the others... so if it was real it could be big/small ect.

  • connecting a line to a cube will turn it a tesserract. One face of a cube is a square and a face of a tesseract is a cube.

  • !@$# EVERYTIME I SEE THIS MY EYES GET LIKE STUCK!

  • We are a young species. We shouldn't meddle in these things. We might end up blowing up our world.

  • i dont understand 2 cubes or 1 ?

  • @xXFightGunXx There are 2 cubes that are connected to each other in a tesseract(hypercube). You can draw a square by connecting 2 lines. If you connect 2 squares you get a cube, so connecting 2 cubes gives you a tesseract.

  • ARG My HEAD! The way that I see it, it looks like a square doughnut clay that I am rotating from the inside hole to the outside. well from a simple term it really looks like it.

  • SO CONFUSING!!!!!!!!!!! MOMMY HELP!!!!!!!!

  • holy shit you just fucked my mind

  • This is 4d not 3d

  • @tiberyus28

    This is actually a 2D video which simulates a 4d cube in 3d.

  • @mafiamitzy if you go cross eyed you can make it 3D

    

  • just like wen u show a cube in 2D, it looks like a small square inside a larger square, wen really, the smaller square is the face in the back, going in the third dimension direction, when u look at a hypercube in 3D, u will see a small cube within a bigger cube, but really, tht big cube is going in the 4th dimension direction (we cant see) towards the back, so it appears inside.

  • ....the idea of the hypercube is that all times a symetrical cube exists in the image no matter what the up and approaching angle is, making it a dimension....

  • Please update with 1080p and colors!

  • @NoaOno Impossible. "The image quality became degraded during the process in which the original 16-mm film was digitized."

    Unless you mean remaking the actual animation.

  • @nequillim Congratulations. You are completely misinformed about dimensions.

  • @FluffyBunniesOnFire congratulations. You've been troll'd! :D

  • @Zormac Oh you!

  • sooo...am i just too good at going cross-eyed to see this?

  • SHwoom... SHWOOoommm... SHWoommm...

  • It's not animated properly. The undulation is the same torus twisting motion even when the object is rotated on separate axis.

  • My god..... it's full of stars.

  • its like, your in a room, and theres 6 rooms inside that room, and u can move into the rooms and look into them if u wer in the 4th dimension. Like if i was in the 4d, i could see a shit load of rooms at the same time, and thru them. But im in the 3rd, so something or somone in a 4th dimesnion is prob looking at u, if l ife existed.

    Thats 1 theory

  • @Joniboy2012 If they exist why don't they ever bother us? Out of respect? Fear? (Idk how you can be afraid of something n -1 dimensional than you, but I'd be creeped out if a saw some flat thing sliding around) or maybe it's against the law in their world to come in contact with us...)

  • @BoxOfStupidity maybe theyre perverts, or its just empty

  • @Joniboy2012 LOL perverts :P

  • @BoxOfStupidity Yeah, Perverts, watching u everyday, doing ur business :p (jaking off) jk jk

  • @BoxOfStupidity

    I'm not sure they would be able to see us (if they exist), just like we cannot see 2D organisms (if they exist)

    Another theory (one i just came up with) is that mabye we are in all of the dimensions and are somehow able to obey the physics of each, just that we percieve it in 3D only

  • confusing O.o

  • Resolution is too low for effective 3D

  • My head hurts.

  • this always amazes me , the 4th space dimension I mean ... I was studying programming and we were talking about 1D,2D and 3D tables but there are also N-D tables which come in handy for advanced programming :S not that is too difficult to use them but I can't understand fully their visual concept >.<

  • @nequillim i though there were 10 dimensions, and none of them involved colors...

  • i agree very gay. love, overlake

  • this is gay

  • 0:25

    It stops rotating,now its like you pulling out the inside cube(that the points on 4dHYPERCUBE, if u pull the tiny cube out,the tiny cube will be bigger and the big cube tinyer.theres NO,Really NO example of this is 3d

  • lol i feel dumb I dont see anything special lol

  • You can't make a 3d animation of a 4d hypercube.

  • @jamesgrose510 oh really? then how do you watch peple on tv? thats a 2d of a 3d is it not? and if u draw a line on a paper youre seeing 1D on a 3D

  • @xChaRaNdyRxP Doesn't matter, as long as your mom is there.

  • @jamesgrose510 you're very intelligable, i wish you a good life because i know you're going to struggle. I feel sorry for your parents i feel their pain, tell them some smart guy on the computer says good luck with an autistic child. cya

  • a 3d representation of a 4d object. Priceless.

  • Mind fuck at it's finest...

  • all i see is a (doughnut) torus divided by 4 spinning from in side out ,cool animation though

  • it is like looking into a 3d image of 4d in a 2d prospective. why don't we just go into the rest of the demintions.

  • I don't get it. It's just a cube, supported by 4 barriers on the cells on an outer cube. It's not 4-D. And it's not rotating, it's shapeshifting into itself. 4-D is clearly made up. Why? Because we can't see it. How could we figure it out? It's made up.

  • @cheapbucko45 All angles joining the small cube to the large cube are 90° angles. Perhaps you can start to figure it out now.

  • @cheapbucko45 Also, the small cube and the large cube are the same size.

  • Its impossible to visualize a 4-D object. You cant even truly show a 3-D object on a 2-D surface.

  • ...ow my mind

  • very very cool!

  • HOLY SHIT!!! THE DESCRIPTION SAID TO LOOK AT IT CROSS EYED!!! that is just fucking unbeleivable... im gonna go look up klein bottle :3

  • I dont know weither its because im slow, or because im bound to the third dimension, but i dont understand what I'm looking at

  • My eyes feel like someone had sex with them after that....

  • I have no idea how it works, but it reminds me of those little tubes filled with water and sparklies you get on beaches.

  • This is so awesome! I love how from one perspective it can seem like small cube after cube after cube is continually passing through a tunnel, but by looking at it in 3D you can see that at any given point in time the small cube could rotate through any of the 6 sides of the bigger cube, and then my brain tries to grasp the concept that it's all connected and there really isn't any small or big cube but one 4D object.

    It's so confusing, I love it!

  • Your brain won't explode if you look at something four-dimensional, you just won't see the fourth-dimensional bits at all. Plain and simple. And nothing you can do will allow you to see them.

  • OH GOD OH GOD MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STO(head explodes)

  • 1 more dimension left XD

  • Ow. My...thought...hurt...

    ...s.

  • In 3D it looks so awesome and mind-twisting!!!

    I love those cross eye animations!

  • (O_O)

    ...

    MY MIND!

  • wow..O.o i watched until 0:25 and i was like it's a damn cube big deal but then after 0:25 i was like "oh wtf!"

  • Sorry, my eyes blew up. Did I miss something?

  • 3. She draws this 2nd copy on the other side of the cube. Like in 3world if we took a square one side orange, other red, drew the word bot on one side - turned it over and copied it. We see bot on a red square, it "colapses to a line segment" (gets turned over) and then we see tod on orange. Okay she draws a chiral molecule and a little 3D person - They're 3D inverted on the back. Don't anger 4D people - have a tattoo that sez TIM on our left arm, we could have MIT on our right arm instead!

  • 2. (like in 3D world with our visual perspective perpendicular to one square side of a 3cube...) has our friends eye seeing only one "cube" face. All 7 other sides are hidden. Our friend won't see any of the turning inside out which is actually turning up side down. If our friend now looks instead at a cube, this is like us looking at a square. Say she paints one side orange and one red, and she draws a three D shape on one side and on the reverse she holds it up to the 4light and traces it.

  • 1. The funky turning inside out is being turned upside down. Our spacially fourth dimensional friend has two round 3D retinas with optic nerves connected thanks to the extra new direction to work with. Say this object is not see-through, its opaque, and we 4color the outer surface, all eight sides, throughout, 8 different colors. Our friend sees (with one eye closed) at most 4 sides. The other 4 hidden cubes are behind the facing ones. A perspective thats perpendicular to the center of one cube

  • in order to see the actual shape, it has to be drawn in 3 dimensional space, but how? The true way to visualize this object is by imagining that all sides are squares, which includes the inside walls on the 2d image. you have to try to imagine the image having all right angles, all lines perpendicular. you can't visualize something you have never seen. Therefore, we can never visualize the 4 dimensional figure until we see a real one which can't exist in our universe.

  • This, in fact, is the way we would perceive an object or a being from the 5th dimension.

    Read about this and more in Michio Kaku's 'Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension'

  • Time to render...10 years...

  • Hm. That wasn't so bad. I'd bet it'd be a btich if you tired to stand on one.

  • I'm trippin balls

  • @RoguishBlonde , it's the best possible representation of a 4D object in 3D. Our universe has 4 (visible) dimensions, including time. So every object you see is 3D. You cannot understand what a 4D object looks like, so this is a bit like what it would look like if one popped into our universe.

    If I got something wrong, please correct me.

  • I don't understand what the 4th dimension is...it looks like a 3 dimensional object, but that can be twisted around, like any number of children's puzzles/toys.

    if it's not possible, it's just an optical illusion, right? why is it special?

    i probably sound ignorant, but if anyone has more insight i'd love to hear it. not really in the mood to research any further myself...it's 2 am and i'm just surfing random youtube videos! :)

  • @RoguishBlonde It's a two dimensional representation of a 3d illusion illustration a 4th dimension. It's complex to say the least.

    The 4 th dimension is,' the animation. It is the fact that all sides are in a different dimension. You can not point it out , only illustrate it.

  • lost..........................­.

  • Would it be possible to make a movable hypercube in real life with Hydrolic pistons?

  • YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF THE FOURTH DIMENSION!

  • 1). ok so perhaps in a parallel universe there is such a thing as a fourth dimesion.

    apparently from a well known theory, which if correct; than we are unable to see it because we're trapped in a so called 3 dimensional world and the only thing our eyes allows us to see is a 3D illusion of a fourth dimension, by expanding our imagination.

    But here is where the theory goes: what if?

  • @need2learn2spkspan That would be a perpendicular universe, now wouldn't it?

  • 2). If thats the case than ever wonder if we are actually living in a fourth dimension. And what we can't see is the past or the future because its in the fourth dimension, which would explain why people would say time is the fourth dimension. We can only see a three dimensional version of the past or future which would make it the present...I don't know i think my minds just wondering down an empty road but if its true, time travelling could be a possibility

  • @need2learn2spkspan We are not living in the fourth dimension because there are only three dimensions that we know which are perpendicular to each other: up/down, left/right, and forwards/backwards.These are the x, y, and z axises on a graph. The idea of time being the fourth dimension refers to space-time. Space-time is said to be like a fourth dimension, but this isn't a spacial dimension. The fourth spacial dimension would have objects in it with four perpendicular directions or axises.

  • @Trumagmur lol I didn't really think anyone would understand whwat I was trying to say, and was hoping for someone to reply to that commenti made

  • OH GOD I CAN SEE INTO FOREVER

  • Augh, that hurt my brain.

  • the third part is simply the hypercube being rotated in the In-Out dimension.

  • This idea is very much analogous to a 3-Dimensional object moving through a plane; a sphere would appear as a growing circle, whereas a cube would appear as a square of constant size.

  • I believe you're thinking of a hypersphere. an object whose points are a given distance (i.e. the radius) away from a central point. In the case of a hypersphere, yes, the radius of the sphere you would see would increase until it has travelled the length of its radius through our space, at which point it would begin to shrink into a point, which would then disappear.

  • If a hypercube were to pass through our 3-D section of a 4-D space, it would look as if a cube had just popped into existence, and then cease to exist once it finished passing through our region of 4-D space. It would not grow from a point or anything like that.

  • @jumpman43562

    yes it would

    it would starts small and them get bigger. you are thinking of a 3D object moving through 4D space (in which case it would do that), not a 4D object.

  • @jumpman43562 Actually, that would totally depend on the hypercube's rotation. If it hits our plane vertex-first it will grow from a point to a tetrahedron, to a series of larger polyhedra, and back into a shrinking tetrahedron. What you described is if it intersects our plane face-first.

  • You're not thinking about this the right way. This video is an attempt to portray a 4-dimensional (4 spatial dimensions that is; forget time altogether) object on a 3-dimensional medium, much as you might draw a cube on a piece of paper. The reason that it does that funky thing where it inverts itself is because that's how it would look being rotated around the fourth dimension.

  • An interesting way to try to visualize a hypercube is by being inside it.

    -Imagine you are in a building.

    -There are seven rooms.

    -Each room is a perfect cube.

    -Each room has six doors.

    -Doors lead North, South, East, West, Up, and Down.

    -There is no exit.

    If you walk into a room and turn 90°, Through three rooms, you will return to your starting point. (But you'd be standing on the wall.) =S

    Same thing happens if you walk three rooms in a straight line.(minus wall standing)

  • finally a 4d thing in 3d display! :)

  • Anyone know anything about thermodynamics? Know about the Zeroth Law; important enough that they just had to put it at the top of the list, without bumping anything down?

    Could anyone tell me why no one has thought of time as the ZEROTH dimension? After all, it would theoretically be present in 2d space too. Kinda hard for time to be in 2d space if 3d was in the way. >_>

  • I've always had a hard time accepting that time is a (4th) dimension. To me it doesn't meet the dimensional criteria.

    To me a dimension implies a freedom of movement along an axis. There doesn't seem to be any freedom of movement in time aside from slowing it down.

    I'm not claiming to understand relativity in it's entirety, but to me spacetime implies that time is an aspect of dimensional space.

    How else could it be explained that the faster you move through space, the slower time passes?

  • @L00NGB00W But in relativity they call it a time dimension while the other three are space dimensions. But yes they call is a dimension.

    Anyway I've still have to read more about relativity because I haven't learned about it enough yet.

  • @raydredX

    Nor have I.

    I'm led to believe that 'time' is more of a fundamental force of nature. (ie: strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force, gravitic force).

    I think relativity shows us that space and time are linked, also that gravity and time are linked, also that gravity and space are linked. All three are aspects of the same thing.

    Perhaps I'm wrong about time. But I think if that's the case, then gravity is not a force either! but a dimension. Lack of a gravity particle? 8D

  • @L00NGB00W Or maybe gravity is more like the curavture. Meh no idea... I need to find some deecnt relativity online tutorial.

  • Sure, but Zeroth dimensional space is somewhat boring, You might like a movie called 'flatland'

  • What always makes me angry is commercials refering to "4d cinemas" because not only do you wear those awesome glasses, you also get air blown in your face.

    Thats not four dimensional :<

  • @IAMTHECAPSGODLOL Well technically that is an extra dimension to watching films, but of course not the 4 dimensions we talk about here. The same goes with 3D movies that isn't real 3D either. real 3D is something we can never see with our own eyes because it requires us to see trough objects. Depth with obsticales is not a dimension

  • @IAMTHECAPSGODLOL it is because you can feel

  • @IAMTHECAPSGODLOL u set it to side by side and go cross eyed

  • @IAMTHECAPSGODLOL

    i totaly agree with you

  • @IAMTHECAPSGODLOL 4D cinemas do exist only at attractions. They don't do anything to the visual obviously; the thing that's different is that your seat can movie, they have air vents off to the side and in front of you and they have smell systems which can poor the odor into the theater. For example, if you were viewing a jungle scene in a jeep, your seat can bounce around and simulate the motions of the jeep and you can smell the jungle.

  • Ahhh, space doesn't work that way >.< At least how we can conceive it. And for everyone saying time is the fourth dimension, partially true. There are three perceivable dimensions of space, and one perceivable dimension of time.

  • ok ther is 1D which is just a straight line

    there's 2D which is a flat shape

    there is 3D which is a object with multiple sides

    and then there is 4D Which is the dimmension we live in the 4 dimension is time

    and space

  • Nice. The angle is a tiny bit too much though, for cross-eyed stereoscopic. And if only the video quality wouldn't degrade on Youtube, too bad it looks kinda fuzzy. I guess some people didn't even realize that it was in 3D, you might want to mention that next time.

  • this would be better if it didnt suck

  • A hypercube is rubbish, I ask how much do we know about the forth dimension nothing! But somehow we can portray a 2D image video as a 4D which we don't know what it looks like. All you showed there was theorys, probably wrong. We know so little about our expanse of nothing we live in and to auctually believe that we can say there is even a 4th dimension is arrogant. That is just a video of something that could be made as 3D and from the looks of that video its impossible, thats just a load of -s

  • So I'm watching a 4D object in 3D, on a 2D computer screen surface. And now this is supposed to explain 4D? My ass...

  • Wow! So, can someone explain: Is a tesseract always moving like that? Or does it just LOOK like it's moving because it's a 3D representation? My mind is boggling right now, but I'm trying my hardest to understand as much as I can.

    How many sides are outwards-facing?

  • @cheezonator the best way to understand it is to compare the 2nd dimension to the third dimension, how 2d people would see a 3d cube

    think about that :)

  • It looks like it's pulling itself outward.

  • I watched this video and this made me understand about the 4th Dimension

  • omg i understood ..............4 dimension cube shows more shapes on the cube.....pause at 0:17 and look and the right cube......if you notice well, you will see a pyramid with a flat surface.......

  • how many dimensions are there

    and what is a dimension

  • confused?

  • We would understand it a little bit more if this object was in 3D in in front of us, not in 2D image monitor. BTW, we will not se a 3D Cube but a constantly changing object that we couldn't explain because:

    1- we cant percept in 4 dimensions

    2- we are living in a 3D world :o

    You need 3D to make a 4D shadow (Like we're making 3D shadows, in 2D).

  • So couldn't an example be made by utilizing 3D technology, like 3D glasses?

  • I masturbated to this

  • holy shit when that shit moves , its crazy

  • I think the best way to understand 4 is with 3d nets

  • I once killed myself looking at the fourth dimention.

  • Why go through this when you can just take a psychedelic? That's the only time you'll truly understand additional dimensions.

  • dude, fucking bullshit. I can understand them just as well as when I'm sobre. Just because you need drugs to doesn't mean we do.

  • @Markau102 You meant to say that you can understand them just as well when sober (not 'sobre'), correct? I've never done psychedelics so I was just taking a guess but there's a different in understanding them at a theoretical level and truly being able to visualize a 4th dimension. As far as I'm concerned the "theory" is just intellectual masturbation.

  • @msz1 First of all, relax, it was a typo. Don't be a grammar nazi about accidental misspellings. Believe me, the "dimensions" experienced during a psychodelic high are just bullshit. I think Rob Bryanton's theory holds the most ground, though I do disagree on the nature of these dimensions.

  • @msz1 Seeing something is not the same as understanding it. you may consider theory as intellectual masturbation but visualizing something alone

    doesn't mean a lot.

    Additionally you can think of higher dimensions in non-spacial ways. I think of them in a computing sense, like multi-dimensional arrays. Because I can apply it in a practical sense I am pretty sure I "understand" a 4th dimension even if I cannot "visualize" it as such

  • they are different

  • Remember this is a 4d object shown in a 3d animation on a 2d screen. It is not possible to imagine a 4d object as we are in a 3d universe. If you put your hand in front of a projection, your hand will be shown in 2d on the screen, effectively you have removed a dimension. The same is applied here, however it is done through maths, as it is impossible to see. So we are seeing a 3d representation, like on a cinema, of a 4d object. This can be done with any of the 11 dimensions.

  • "we are in a 3D universe"

    genuinely curious; is that actually known and accepted, or is it merely the case that we don't have the ability to sense, so comprehend a 3th spatial dimension?

    I've seen it mentioned that if anything genuinely was 4 dimensional, we would see (or interpret) it as a 3d object that constantly changed shape, just like a 3d object would be interpreted passing through a 2D environment.

    is it possible everything is 4D+, but we can only sense 3?
