  • @IslandguyX ok u retard. Go to geometry to learn that the world a s u see it is not the way it really is. Einstein and uh like every scientist says that. Jesus ur so ignorant its sad.

  • none of this is actually 4D. There are three dimensions there, just displayed in an unusual way.

  • LOL! You do realize that your tesseract is just another 3D object, do you? DIMENSIONS are not vectors, there are only 3 of them, anyway you slice it...

  • You just demonstrated the symmetrical, yet parallel universe theory in less than one minute. Thank you very much for posting.

  • If only someone could do this with a tesseract. Then all the complaining about the 4D representation on a 2D surface would stop.

  • My eyes just glazed over. Moving on now....

  • its better when u wear 3d glasses..

  • At the start you draw a line calling in 1D. But that line has some level of width, so doesnt that mean it has to be 2D?

  • @12inchBELLY Close scrutiny frame by frame will probably reveal some flaws but I was hoping to stretch people's imaginations.

  • @12inchBELLY To be able to see things we need at least 2 dimensions so it's just a representation

  • @12inchBELLY that would be like saying that, because you are watching this on a monitor, the whole thing must be 2D. the drawn line is a visible representation in 2D of a 1D concept. keep in mind that there is a distinction to be made between a phenomenon and a given representation of that phenomenon. in fact the whole point of the video is to point out that a clever transformation must be done in order to visualize a 5D concept in 2D.

  • Hey this is all in 2D!!!

  • people project 3d objects onto 2d displays all the time - games, tv etc. Now we are projecting 3d images onto 3d planes (can you still call it a plane?) in stereo 3d movies and games. Does this mean it's easier to project a 4d object onto a 3d plane? No 3d glasses here at this time :(

  • Using Video as a demonstrative tool for the displaying of time as a dimension. Remember a movie such as "the flash" and how as he speed away he 'left' a visual "trail" behind him. The "trail" represents where he was at that moment in time.We all leave that "trail" every atom in our body, has,is and will leave that "trail". Every atom in the universe "leaves that trail" such is the nature of times flow and times arrow

  • this is only 2d.

  • Energy sources without the need for fuel or energy input exist ,But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!

  • yu gi oh 5D

  • whats this program? :S

  • still cant wrap my head around this

  • For some really cool stuff on 4D cubes google "Albert Renshaw 4D" and check out all of his videos and articles. Fascinating stuff!

  • Hmmmmmm.....I am skeptical of this video.

  • this is somehow the representation of the "shadow" of a 4D figure right?

  • MIND RAPE!!!!!

  • A four dimensional object, in motion, would require 5 dimensions (time being one of them).

  • @ZenithPlacidity 3 dimensional space requires time to exist. At any given moment we are only perceiving 2 dimensions... Otherwise there would be no conceivable way to move around an object to see it as 3 dimensional... Correct?

  • @InfinityOE We don't need to move around an object to see it as 3 dimensional.

    look up the necker cube.

  • @ZenithPlacidity A "Necker Cube" is a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional cube. There is in fact no depth to the picture (speaking only in human perception). At any given moment in time, we are projecting near-infinite 2 dimensional images through time which gives the human mind (including all tools used for perception) the ability to move through space, even the slightest bit, and make the connection that this is a 3 (spatial) dimensional world.

  • @ZenithPlacidity Given a temporal (time) dimension, we could perceive depth. And-IMO-4 dimensional space would require an extra dimension of time to accommodate spatial volumes existing in the same position (just as 3 spatial dimensions requires 1 of time to come into perception). A 2nd temporal dimension would be an "area" of time as opposed to the 1 dimensional linear fashion of time. If there's more than one time-line than there are "alternate realities" which must be a geometrical standard.

  • @ZenithPlacidity Here's a metaphor. We can take a photograph and that image will be a moment in time (and I'd appreciate if we leave the technicalities at the door). Why is the image on the photograph 2 dimensional? A better metaphor would be to have a pause button in reality... Just stop time at a single moment. There wouldn't be any possible way to perceive 3 dimensions. It would be as if our whole lives are a painting, trapped in a singularity of time. Sorry about the rant, I get too exited.

  • @InfinityOE a 3d object doesnt require a person to be able to see around it.

  • @blazin20aday Please explain why that is.

  • Nothing is translated into 5D in this video, or I can't see it.

  • @Rpahut1 A 4D vector was used to define positions of the vertices of the tesseract and there is another dimension associated with the time or frame of an image. Projecting the object reduced the number of dimensions actually seen by each eye.

  • @Rpahut1 if you consider any n-dimensional figure, you will notice an (n+1)th dimension must be specified if any rotation is to be done. consider a triangle drawn on a piece of paper with an X and Y axis. you must specify a Z shooting out of the paper if want to spin the triangle around on your table. alternatively if you want to rotate about the existing X or Y you must lift one side of the paper off the table, thus displacing up or down Z. the animated nature of the figure necessitates the 5D.

  • @RRRRussia As your triangle already exists inside of 3D space, since it is drawn on piece of paper lying on your table, then of course each it's vertex requires 3 values to describe its position. Z axis is not required there, it IS there - that's why you have to specify it to describe transformations. However, 3D objects do not need 4th dimension to be rotated, as well as 2D point is sufficient to rotate any 2D shape.

  • It is hard to imagine translating a 4D tesseract into 5D... simply MIND-BLOWING!

  • This bugs me about this way of projecting objects above the 3rd dimension: If a 1d line can be stretched in a direction "unknown" in the 1st dimension to form the 2nd dimension.. and a 2d plane can be stretched in a direction "unknown" in the 2nd dimension to form the 3rd dimension.. Then how is it possible to project the same logic from 3d to 4d when there is no way to know the 4th direction. At 0:28 the cube is stretched in direction "z" - a KNOWN direction in the 3rd dimension.

  • @wizimaster To do this one needs to know a little about vectors containing more that 3 numbers. The projection of one vector onto another is accomplished with a "dot product." One can decompose any vector into a some of its projections onto the reference vectors which are the "axes" of the vector space. For more information, consult Wikipedia.

  • @wizimaster "Then how is it possible to project the same logic from 3d to 4d when there is no way to know the 4th direction"

    but there is! if you could imagine yourself 1 year ago.........then draw a line to yourself now........from the fifth dimension you would look like a worm.......starting where you were born to the day you died.........

    watch imagining the tenth dimension... : ) peace......

  • @wizimaster dude i feel the same way. i get bothered because i cant understand where 3d turns into 4d :(. i suck.

  • that was stupid. it basically just a 3d hexagon. your telling me, all these astrophysicists and scientists can't figure out anything past the 3(length, depth and height) + 1(time) dimensions, but this guy in his underwear can?

  • that was 4d numb nuts.

  • if you extrude a 3D cube you get a 3D tesseract. Nothing 4 or 5D in there! Before you talk about more than 3 dimensions you need to demonstrate how you keep them orthogonal to the already existing 3 dimensions. Anything else is fiction/mathematics and has nothing to do with dimensions of physics/reality!

  • @IslandguyX not "orthogonal" but "perpendicular"

  • MAn 5D is realy complex for me to understand so whats the diffrence between 4D and 5D? 4D has another Axis which is X,Y,Z,W whats the other one in 5D?

  • @rockoutdudepro T (time).

  • It still looks 3D to me.

  • are we in 11 dimensions but only perceive 3?

  • @BlackSunSerenade

    It does deal with space, because 4D/5D are in different dimensions (D) of our enormous multiverse membrane.

  • if I could control 5D. I could walk though your house and you wouldnt even know it.

  • It kinda makes sense

    But this is 4D and it really doesn't have anything to do with space-time

  • wtf

  • its very confusing

  • its only confusing because we humans can only think with ease in 2 demensions or 3 demensions

  • Etwas schnell beim rotieren und etwas unverständlich

  • This is a great video. I think the way you set it up, will give anyone that has an idea of how a tesseract works a much better understanding. 5 stars.

  • When people talk about dimensions, are there two contexts of that word? After the third dimension there are tesseracts, or is there time? Or are tesseracts and time the same thing?

    This is hard to conceptualize for me.

  • The video was intended as a stretch of the imagination. The tesseract is a little beyond our grasp. It exists in a four dimensional space with all directions being distances. The series of images changes with time so there is an additional dimension associated with that which differs from the others.

  • The people who talk about time are the ones who don't understand the geometric concept of dimensions.

  • i cant fit my head around it either lol

  • Yeah there are two types of dimensions really. The normal dimensions we think of are spatial dimensions, and when we talk about tesseracts we are dealing with the 4th spatial dimension. Time is a seperate dimension altogether, in fact, I don't even think everyone is in agreement that time is a dimension. It's sort of its own category.

  • Additionally, time is different from the other dimensions in another way. When calculating spacetime distance, you SUBTRACT the square of the time distance and ADD the squares of the space distances. This has an interesting effect - a ray of light, from emission to hitting something, traverses ZERO spacetime distance. Its space and time coordinates change, but in such a way that the magnitude of the distance traversed is zero.

  • @personzorz where can i find nor info about what your saying. im very interested. thanks.

  • just research einstien and is postulates on general and special relativity

  • @personzorz

    I'm not sure what your source is, but what you describe sounds a lot like computing distance in the complex plane, where spatial coordinates are real and the temporal coordinate is imaginary. Square an imaginary number and get a negative.

  • @pt2091 A tesseract is another word for the four-dimensional cube. The 3d one is the cube, the 2d is the square.

  • @pt2091

    This is talking about the mathematical definition of a dimension, which is basically, a direction that you can't get to by moving in different directions. So like, forward/backwards is one dimension, left/right is another. By combining those you cannot go up/down, so up/down is another. We can imagine another dimension that you can't get to by moving in any of those directions; that's the fourth dimension. None of this has anything to do with time

  • @pt2091 I have a complete theory of that. But I don't think you'd want to hear it.

  • whats with the red and cyan? can i watch with 4D glasses? XD

  • if the fourth dimension is time/space, we life in the fourth dimension.

    So i think its a spatial thing we can not comprehend.

    but, both things are good, its just the way you think of it...

  • argh mind fuck

  • great job..thank you

  • in this video the fourth dimension is another layer of space and the fifth dimension is time

  • exactly time is the fourth dimension,

    i didnt see an actual forth dimension, i just thought it was 2d illusioning 3d, with multiple '3d' shapes moving around

  • cool

  • this is a little silly. this video that we're watching on a two-dimensional screen attempts to show all 8 points of a 4d tesseract, but that is impossible. it's as if we tried to see all the points of a cube on a one-dimensional line.

  • you're right. We're trying to imagine 4d from the perspective of 2d, despite attempting to think in 3d; the mind is still translating from 2d.

    Personalyl, this is why I'm trying to find more videos of a stereaoscopic projection were you percieve 3d (like 3d glasses). I found one video but it's not that great....

  • Think; you can make a cube in two dimensions, right? By this, of course, I mean drawing the two squares and connecting them. That is a 3d cube graphed in the 2nd dimension. The video is a 4d tessarect graphed in the 3rd dimension, graphed in the second dimension.

  • well it's like showing a 3d cube just using points on a 1 dimensional line.. but yeah your like graphing the graph of it haha ok

  • Not quite; it is very difficult to graph anything in the 1st dimension, all you'll get is a line; although, you can make many complicated shaped in the second dimension, including ones that give the illusion of being three-dimensional (like when you play a computer game or draw a transparent ''cube'') . Logic can tell us that the same can be done with a 4d object and make it 3d, but it has the illusion of being 4d, then we make the 3d shape 2d and it still gives the illusion of a 4d object.

  • it seems people are either afraid, or hate what they don't understand...

  • Most people have built a comfort zone around their beings. Alter their view, or the zone itself, and those people will most likely get upset one way or the other.

    Solution = Get out of your comfort zone yourself !

  • I suppose you are right.

  • i don't even think that 4th dimension exists...not even mentioning 5

    at least that's what i think

  • I doubt their existence too. It's just math and images.

  • @pidromonz exactly

  • @pidromonz Come on every one knows of the "5th Dimension".....

    From the 60's

    LoL

    Sorry I couldn't resist.

  • @pidromonz

    A 1st dimension doubts the existence of a 2nd dimension; the 2nd dimension exists nonetheless. A 2nd dimension doubts the existence of a 3rd dimension; yet we are here, in 3rd dimension. It's only natural for us to doubt the existence of a 4th dimension.

  • @pidromonz some say that the 4th dimension is the time

  • Why does everyone say that the 4th dimension is time. There is no proof. Why can't we just be happy with a mathematically physical 4th dimension.

  • In this case the fifth dimension is time. The tesseract exists in a 4D Euclidean space where the rotation takes place exchanging one direction for another.

    In Relativity the effect of a velocity change is a deformation (length contraction with time dilation).

  • The people that say that clearly don't understand that time is just a human term for the movement of atoms over a given period, like a second, or an hour. Time it self doesn't really exist, or at least it hasn't been proved to exist. I think the most probable are that it just exists in the human mind. What would a 4th dimension of time be? No one can answer that, because time isn't.

  • The idea comes from the fact that space and time are intimately linked.

    Imagine you move forward through the front/back dimension. Then you start to veer more and more left.. The more u move through the left/right dim the less u are moving thru the front/back dim. Make sense?

    So time is the same. The more you move through the time dim the less u move through the space dim. And vica-versa.

    If you sit still u move through time quickly. But if u move through space quicker, u move time less.

  • build ti in 4D and then i will believe it is a 4D object.

  • What a terrible comment

  • that's true, because we live in a 3D world.

    But we can appreciate the concept of 4D.

  • even though you live in 4d universe? hmm

  • Comment removed

  • you are so childish.

    the idea of this image was to give the illusion of 5d, point, line, plane, cube and time it may be a projection, but still affected my time, and it does give the image of a 3d shape through time, so..najers to you.

  • We will not say about 4th D which is about the time here, it's not about the movie. Video shows us how to convert 3D to 4D. You guy knows that we have n-sphere here and we know what it's look like if it's 3-sphere, so what is 4-sphere look like? Is it about 4D?

    I believe you may found some problems like this. Let a,b,c,d,e be postive reals in the interval [p,q] and 0<p<=q. Prove that (a+b+c+d+e)(1/a+1/b+1/c+1/d+1/­e)<=25+6(sqrt{p/q}-sqrt{q/p})

  • So we use the fact the the maximum of LSH will occur when a,b,c,d,e is at the end of the interval [p,q] Hence the maximum of LSH is occur on one vertex (a,b,c,d,e) of the 5D cube [p,q]x[p,q]x[p,q]x[p,q]x[p,q] and we understand that (a,b,c,d,e) is Cartesian Coordinate. After complete the proof we'll get that the maximum must occur when a,b,c,d,e two are p and the others are q or two are q and the others are p. As I said we have 5D cube which is obtained from convert 4D to 5D as the video show us

  • just put a fucking clock next to the cube and you all have the fourth dimension.

  • theis pictures are right

  • U're forgeting U can't show an actual tesseract, U could if U projected a cube through a fourth spatial dimension, but U cannot, all u show here is a 3d shadow of a tesseract, am I right?

  • I will admit that the images are a series of perspective drawings done in 3D.

  • very right

  • @gbxgbxgbx A 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional shadow of a 4 dimensional cube.

  • @InfinityOE thats right!

  • wierd i just saw this same thing on the movie "Cube 2: hypercube" just a hour before i saw this video O.o

  • The Fourth Dimension was introduced by a Cambridge philosopher, Henry More, in the 17th Century to counter Cartesian philosophy. The "Divine Amplitude" was considered to be spiritual in nature. Space has to be considered a medium and not just an empty void.

    The existence of particles and fields have been verified by experiment. Theory does not determine the outcome of experiment. Experiment determines the acceptability of a theory and often raises new questions.

  • Maybe. But they are brilliant mathematicians. Newton was probably regarded as a troll. "STFU natural state of matter is at rest"

  • ahahaha lovesit!!

  • Genial

  • Excellent work. I love this depiction. Please show us a tesseract next!!!

  • If you could please answer me this: What program did you use to illustrate this?

    Because from own experience, i learn better by trying to do something, than by watching somebody do it for me :)

  • Not being a person who understands extremely advanced mathematics (or geometry at all, really), I took the video at face value, and it's pretty cool. What I don't understand is the point of the study. What kind of real world applications can be accomplished by creating models and representations like this?

  • The world has made us what we are and our minds have limitations. We need to recognize this in order to advance beyond our current level of development. It's just a way of freeing the mind. And it might help us understand Nature better.

  • Excellent analogy! We are utmost slaves to the limits of our perceptions.

  • Why on earth would anyone want to do math that has real world applications?

  • God... Too much for my little brain, but I want to know more anyway!

  • wrong haha

  • either way you look at it, its 2d cause its on a 2d screen xD ahahaha

  • this is great. im still trying to figure it out :)

  • The geometrical figures in higher dimensions are known as polytopes.

  • Hi could you please upload this in yt's new 3d format so that people like me without glasses can watch it cross eyed

  • Technically that's true of any dimension, though. Polygons and polyhedra are polytopes

  • There is a problem with this whole thing. The transition between 1D and 2D only works with a square; it takes a line, or shape, and doubles it. But this wouldn't work with a triangle or circle, and maybe not even a trapezoid. What about an octagon? Hexagon? Tetrahedron?

  • You could find the midpoint of the line and move along a line perpendicular to the line till you form an equilateral triangle in 2D. Go along the perpendicular from the midpoint of the triangle till you form a tetrahedron in 3D. And do the same thing again in 4D. (etc. for nD)

  • no a triangle is still 2d, as long as there is at least one seperate point not on the line that would make it 2d

  • IF we use TIME as a DIMENSION we'll get usual 2d graphics as a 3d - width, height, time isn't it? that changes as well!? if you don't rotate this image it wouldn't change(take another form) and 2d image as well. Now I'm currently confused by myself lol :P

  • My head hurts

    I want to figurre this shit out and maybe make 4d parts into my game?

  • Fake.. this is 2D on my screen.

  • lololololol!!!!! :)

  • ur meant 2 use red/cyan 3d glasses u spaz

  • Win.

  • the world just imploded

  • lol

  • Well if you wear it with traditional red-blue 3D glasses, you'll get 3d.

  • That was Cool Jim :)

  • Point-Line-Plane-Solid- 3 dimensions over -

    Pause. Now, the solid in the 3rd dimension becomes a point in the 4th dimension. So, moving the object with respect to time forms a line which is the 4th dimension. The 5th dimension is a plane formed out of rotational transform of the object over time, forming a plane again. The 6th dimension is an array of possible size transformations of an object in the 5th dimension over time. In every dimension... Sorry, that`s how i perceive it... lol

  • can any1 tell me what these dimen. calledi mean x,y,z,?,?.

  • Henry More invented a 4th spacial dimension referred to as spissitude (Divine Dialogues, 1688?). So, the dimensions might be called height, width, length, spissitude and time.

    In A New Era of Thought (1888) C. Howard Hinton defined the directions in a purely spatial 4th dimension as:

    right - left

    forward - backward

    up - down

    ana - kata

    See Wikipedia for more information.

  • Hmm, I thought ana and kata were just random directions I read in a book.

    (The Boy Who Turned Himself Inside Out)

  • I only see a 3d shape on a 2d monitor in a 4d dimension ^^

  • Wow technology advances farther than i thought, I didn't know they made monitors with no depth lol.

  • 3D monitors and TV sets coming soon to a store near you.

    From what I hear they will be here before 2010.

  • Comment removed

  • Why?

  • 3 rotations around 1 axis.... WOW!

  • i can do that on a bmx lol

  • lol

  • Animations have more than one frame, which signifies a passing of TIME.

  • i'm gonna throw up now)))))))))))

  • ouch.. that hurd my brain :P

  • That's the 3 dimensional shadow of a 4 dimensional object rotating in 3 dimensional directions. Imagine the shadow rotating in the 4th dimension, or direction.

    (Any accidental deaths caused by the vomiting of internal organs are entirely coincidental and cannot be attributed to this comment, so just try to sue me :P)

  • It's no 6 dimension...Also. could use a sound track. I suggest Will You Marry Me Bill.

  • I can't even imagin 4D

  • I dont understand the 4th dimesnion

    what is it?

    and how can CAD let you control it?

  • i think this vid actually helped me understand this! nice job!

  • Stupid Question:

    Ok, so if we use only one eye we see in 2d and when we use 2 eyes we see in 3d.

    Then what the hell would we be seeing if we had 3 eyes??!!?

  • With one eye and memory we can see objects in a 3D space at different times from different points of view. So the highest dimensionality normally available to us is actually 4D. Two eyes allow us to see in 3D better without moving which would have an evolutionary advantage if giving away our position was detrimental. Some ability to see 3D with one eye would help in surviving an injury.

  • What you could see with three eyes would depend on the capabilites of the eyes and the properties of the space you were in.

    Back at you: Can a blind man see in his mind's eye?

  • you cant see a 4d image unless u r in the fourth dimension. you can only see things up to the dimension ur in. when the cube rotates you can see the walls stretch. no phisical object can have its solid walls stretch just because of the angle you look at it. its a nice visual and im sure its close. but until you can rise into the fourth dimension you will never see a 4d object.

  • true, but if you comprehend how its suppose to act in a "4th dimension" then you can begin an attempt to grasp it. (ie control it).

    So although I cannot perceive it, I understand how it acts.

    Therefor I know what to except.. etc etc.

  • also you'll see if you try to understand what each face looks like, you can't

  • Para extender el cubo a 5 dimensiones, podríamos añadir a la figura otro conjunto de dos cubos conectados entre si y conectar las aristas correspondientes en las dos mitades y así sucesivamente.

  • tal vez...

  • But that's only 4 dimensions! Also, what program is this?

  • I used Mathcad to compute and capture the images but had to come up with a few tricks to do it.

  • That's why he called it 5d space time.

    we 3d objects are in spacetime or 4d

  • Doesn't a tesseract have nothing to do with time? It's another spacial dimension. Not the time one.

  • Space and time are measured in meters and seconds respectively which would make it difficult to exchange them in a rotation. The speed of light is used as a conversion factor in Relativity but at the cost of a negative sign in the Minkowski metric. I assumed a Euclidean metric for the tesseract.

  • hmmmm well i can see it if the forth dimension was time because if it was that way it makes it a lot easyer becausse there are two cubes in there and its showing another cube from before ... right???
