Rotating Duocylinder

[ApeFlyyy]

My mind is like my dick right now. Blown.

[DeviousBetrayer]

Can something like that exist in the physical world?

[inyte0exe]

@DeviousBetrayer yes there can and acculy is its just as beings that reside within the 3rd dimension we can not observe them. we can only observe our own dimension the 3rd and those lower.

[Wiintendoh]

HOW MANY FUCKING ENTRANCES ARE THERE

[xxpbdudexx]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[Lulzmaker]

The wireframe tesseract allows me to get a better sense of how full of fuck my head is when trying to understand this.

[MoveHD]

Never really experienced a mindfuck before I saw this video.

[SHExxLIKESxxBARINAS]

thumbs up if your head exploded and now you have to clean brains off your computer

[actionjackson9000]

essentially this looks like an optical illusion, more of a moire effect created by the intersection of three different grid patterns that are skewed and warped

oh wait i just pretty much said exactly what it is hahaha.

[AClarke2007]

@actionjackson9000 Yes, a moire effect; nice way of putting it. But how do we represent TIME visually?

[goldmosaic]

very good work

[danthemanzizzle]

what the shit

[TheAlaricPetz]

Im trippin'!!

[masluxx]

what theoretically would be shaped like this?

[rwlnd1987]

if jesus saw this, he would wonder wtf this was

[VideoJargon]

is that in 5d space?

[JBounder]

my brain will self destruct in 3...2...1...

[hackie77]

@JBounder

LOL



[UgotWhiplashed8D]

this looks to me like a cross between a mobius strip and a torus so that a 3d shape is twisted back on it's self like a 2d object to creat a 4d one :D

[9intimeisI]

I Love this. I start and stop the vid to try and get a better look.

Thank you for making and posting this.

[Thecncguy]

it is amazing how we can make sense of a four dimensional object on a two dimensional screen

[ETBX1]

That's very good! encasing it inside the tesseract gives a better idea of exactly how it's rotating, compared with the other animations of this I have seen.

[TheMoney713]

you could if u had dat "back to futia" car! huhuhu!

[AtomosNucleous]

it would great if you rotated in other axes too, ZW and XY for example. If i am correct those 2 axes would be as Z for a 3d cylinder where there suppose to be kind of symmetry.

The other 3 would be as YW (again if i am correct :P) Or you could try to expand r

[happyking9]

my mind hurts

[mysteryseb]

space?

[gruntreaper]

my head just exploded

[1232121212321212]

Mobius Cylinder!

[desu38]

This is the most confusing object I have ever seen.

[Dirtfire]

desu, that's the fourth dimension for ya. :)

Interesting animation.

[MensN06]

4-d can be time or another direction

you may also see this as 5-d space-time animation^^

here you see the euclidean 4-d space (every dimension has same properties

[happyking9]

actually, a dimension is a variable.

like moving a pen to another desk and back, it can go both ways.

Time however is stuck in the same direction, so i don't think of time as a dimension

[solacaMovies]

basicly a wormhole... 4-d is time and wormholes involve time and this is a 4-d object

[happyking9]

actually, no

[GuiltyGearRockYou]

yeah... but be better when there are more varities of rotation...  cause I can't see it really..

[SgtJoeEvil]

The tesseract shape seems to bound the space around the duocyl, it reminds me of a Brane Physicist trying to visualize the 13d calculus that will tell him how far it is to the next dimension over, while it is moving and the universe they are in is moving as well.

A living calculus problem on cosmic steroids which was bitten by a radioactive space-spider.

Very cool, thank you for sharing this, even if I don't understand the math behind it, or the programming languages, it is still rad.

[johnsmithbsc]

Cool, but it would be better with some variety in how it rotates.

[WildStar2002]

Wow cool! I like how you superimposed a tesseract with the duocircle, so you can keep track of the rotation. :-) Well done!

[AreYouWetYet]

It is very hard to tell when the wormhole closes and enters the higher dimension

[nakaskap]

that depends on speed, because when things go fast enough they change in material form in to plasma, which is what can fuck with dimensions

[AreYouWetYet]

did you see the episode of VoYaGeR in season 7, where they were caught in a Giant ToRUS ?

[TiagoTiagoT]

is this not a klein bottle without some parts being thinner than others?

[alphaprimemental]

Maybe I'm nuts. But,does anyone else see A mobius strip in this animation? Just wondering.

[sonicfan158]

what is a mobius strip?

[TuahShinguru]

A Mobius Strip is basically a single plane that is twisted once, then looped back upon itself. As you travel across one side, you will end up looping around on both sides. You can create this easily with a long strip of paper. Simply twist one end 180 degrees, then loop it to the other side.

This, I think, is a 3-dimensional version of a Mobius Strip.

[malysh85]

A 3-dimensional verison of Mobius Strip is called Klein-bottle. And it doesn't look like this cylinder.

[JusticeLeague9]

Take a long strip of paper, twist it and tape the ends together. Voila! Mobius strip.  They say it's a one sided shape because you can go around and reach both sides without going over an edge. They don't understand that it's actually just got MANY, MANY sides.

[KNZone2]

Who is "They?"

[Mewpwnz]

aka you

[JusticeLeague9]

That actually what I thought I saw in the beginning and then it became MUCH cooler.

[Axemplay]

I can't properly visualize a duocylinder because unlike a tesseract, there isn't a 3-d equivalent to help me get a mental hook on it.

[sentriclecub]

Excellent, I loved it. 5 stars, sad that the other 700 people that watched it, and only 4 votes..

[debreczeni99]

I couldn't visualize it WOW!

If you apply a texture maybe it is easier

5/5

[Hippie1abc]

Isn't that a double torus? WTF? LOL! That's cool, how did you make it? Damned 4D-Cube^^

[throughthedoors]

This is not a double torus, which looks kind of like an eight. This is technically the "ridge" of a duocylinder, which does indeed resemble a torus. Think more of a tube than a cylinder, which explains why it appears to have a hole through its center. This is a very difficult object to visualize.

I again used Blender as a projection space. For the object itself, I basically took a bunch of connected circles and wrapped them around in a circle in the zw plane using python code.

[Hippie1abc]

ummm, lol, ok, could you please make a tutorial how to do this and the 4dcube?

i'm using C4D ...

[FHomeBrew]

I'm using Pov-ray. ring a bell? I hope it does because this would be awesome to visualize in Pov. I know it can be done because Pov is very mathematical unlike lots of the other softwares out there. All the 4D I can render now are slices of 4D Julia fractals, which has no real practical use for my field of works...

[LokiClock]

@throughthedoors I have always dreamed of having a 4D modeling patch for Blender.

[Hopefulfilment]

@throughthedoors This isn't fair... after staring at a rotating tesseract for 5 minutes (another vid) and finally figuring it out (somewhat... in a small corner of the mind... maybe) i got this showed in my face. Gnn. Is it askew compaired to the tesseract (can it be) or am I just to confused... or maybe just way of? Would be cool to view in 3D (with goggles or as a hologram). Nice work though!!

[BobForehead]

Nice! It's like a little bubble of timespace.
