  • Okay, this is like the 5th tesseract/hypercube I've watched, and I feel utterly nauseous. I propose a rule: Rotate either in 3 dimensions or the 4th at a time. Not both at once. Now, if you'll excuse me, *BLEGH*.

  • Heheh. I'm sorry that these vids are making you sick. Some people react that way to them, you are not the first. When I get some time perhaps I will go through some of the better ones and do as you propose. :-)

  • Heh. Thatnks for the consideration. I do find the subject very fascinating. I'd just like to be able to appreciate it without getting motion sickness. :-P

    It's still awesome, though. :-)

  • so is the bitruncated tesseract is the truncated 16-cell?

  • Not quite. :-) The bitruncated tesseract is the same as the bitruncated 16-cell. Look up "Uniform Polychora" on Wikipedia for a great article on how this works. :-)

  • you're right!

  • How's this for a fast reply my friend? :-)

  • literal youtube friends are we

  • if only holograms were up to the task to see this as four dimensions mapped onto three, not just four mapped to three mapped to two... Still, very pretty and mind blowing :)

  • What a fascinating idea! I wonder what a 4-D hologram (which would be essentially 3-D) would look like? Of course, is a regular hologram really flat? Or is it just really thin? I'm not sure. :-)

  • well, I don't mean a holographic sticker like the one's you'd see on a visa... I mean a true three dimensional hologram like tinyurlDOTcom/mb4u62

  • Very interesting article. :-) I have to admit I scanned the article rather than reading it in depth, but despite the image of R2D2 projecting a cat into the air, I think the kind of holograms they describe; the image is -in- the hologram, not floating above it or away from it. I understand a bit about the laser interference pattern that creates a hologram, and I'm not sure how that would translate to 4D. The Visa sticker -is- a real hologram, btw (I think). :-) Just a really little one.

  • The cells are truncated tetrahedra, and truncated octahedra.

  • FluffyBunniesOnFire - Yep!  Sixteen truncated tetrahedra and eight truncated octahedra. :-)

  • oh sweet

  • Thanks!  :-)

  • man there is no meaning in doing this...

  • Well, the comments on this vid *are* a bit banal, but I like the figure, nonetheless. :-)

  • me too :P

  • wtf -_-

  • Comment removed

  • lol first comment!

  • I'm glad you enjoyed being the first comment. :-)
