  • wait, its rotating!!??!?!?!??!

  • so it mean a 4D creature can move freely physically unbounded in our 3D world??

  • its like the cube is playing jump rope with itself...

  • It hurts D:

  • Looks more like one of those tubes that keep going inside out. But instead of a tube it's a hollow rectangular prism.

  • This is a very "naughty" video. =p

  • mindfucked

  • ok wtf !?? I was waiting for the music... lol

  • I can see it now, I can see it! The center cube is moving through the outer cube. :)

  • Einstein's view of gravity of outerspace can help explain this

  • A cube's 2d shadow don't have completely perfect right angle

    Therefore, a teseract's 3d shadow don't have completely perfect right angles

  • motion sickness but I get it!

  • It doesnt make sense

  • ..mindfuck

  • I can't handle it. Does not compute. I know it's there, but I can't visualize it. Thanks for trying!

  • this is mesmerizing

  • THIS is a great way to show what a hypercube is.

    This as a hologram would make the representation perfect.

  • @MadHighway Could have polarized glasses for sterio vision and then you could either have the computer track the position of your head and eyes - altering the sterioptic image accordingly, or you could have a joystick and enter changes of perspective by hand. When we look at a 3D cube we see ~ a maximum of 3 sides.

    We can color, or put spots or tigers or faces on the 6 different outsides.

    By adding a hidden side algorithm we could perhaps fill in the 8 cubic outsides with 3D images

  • The constant state of a tesseract is in motion from our dimensional perspective?

  • @QuartuvLarry He's putting through moves - it can stop - it is a solid object. Have a flat 2D plane. Put a square on it. It can turn on a dot:clockwise or counterclock. Paint its sides 4 colors. Looked at edge-wise and - one side follows another - red green blue then yellow, then it repeats. Make it a 3D cube and it can do the same thing, plus roll forward and roll sideways. Second two, LOOKS like small square is inside bigger square, then the small one turns inside out, then become the big one.

  • I had a hypercube,

    but someone from the 4th stole it.

    then a microscopic black hole appeared

    it could be just a projection, but i think im on the event horizon

  • wow i actually see it for what it really is! With the color coding, it makes it much easier

  • What if you put 6 tesseracts on top of each other moving in each of the 6 directions at the same time, what would that look like?

  • This video went viral on Minsk

  • A tesseract would just be a cube to us. Just like a sphere intersecting the 2d world simply looks like a line with some shading to a 2D person, since they can only see in 1D, a tesseract would simply look like a cube. We can only see in 2D, but because of shading we can percieve a cube. It's not until we "feel" a cube that we truly percieve its 3D shape. The same is true of a tesseract. We could "feel" it as a cube, but could never see its true form.

  • sleepy... sleepy...sleepy... sleepy tesseract...

  • i was looking for the band... but this is fucking sick o_0

  • i probably belong in an insane asylum

  • when we ask why we learn the greatest knowledge ever, how little we really know. what if leads to crazy philosophy that may or may not be true but in its self is an absolute truth and nothing. everything is nothing. if we only believe what we see than everything is impossible which in itself is impossible because we know nothing...

  • my mind is blown, but not as blown as when i imagined a universe where the laws of mathematics didn't apply. my mind was never blown when it comes to the stupid string theory. okay all matters properties are determined by vibrations sorta like a guitar sting, okay so the universe is a song, what happens when the song changes keys. now that blows my mind. B goes to B flat, whoops, just completely imploded the foundations of the space-time continuum... i have to much free time, i have gone insane

  • When you look at a 2-D representation of a cube your mind is able to understand what is being represented. When you look at the tesseract it's important to understand that the length of the lines are all the same and that even thought its easy to see a bunch of lines moving and changing there length in order to give birth to more and more cubes.

    Try to looking at it with your peripheral vision. You will literally see something rotating. Something. Maybe I am crazy. No wait. I am.

  • @amenedes I see it too! =D

  • @amenedes

    What's peripheral vision?

  • Ugh... wait so within this cube are cubes forming the 4 corners of the larger cube that is rotating??????

  • I get it now, whichever way you spin it around, you see the square, which means the 4th dimension is the ability to see all sides of the cube at once

  • @miara1979 But we wouldn't be able to do that unless we drew the square, say, a dice, separately, showing each side, on paper or markerboard or something.... that's as close as we can get.... i think @___@

  • DUDE!

    Please make a game with 4-Dimensional Geometry, you could make millions.

    Hyperspheres, Hypercubes, Mobius Strips, Clien Bottels, etc.

  • does anyone have any aspirin?

  • NO NOW FUCKING WAIT!! I NOW FUCKING GET IT!!!!

  • MIND = FUCKING BLOWN. i htink ill sell my name to someone who can find himself at home in the x^nth fucking dimension XD

  • I tried to imagine the 4th dimension and my nose started to bleed...

  • @TheMidwestsk8ter i dare u to try imagining the 21st dimension.....

  • @pakong82

    Or the 108th dimension.....

  • well i was looking for Djent but found this. too many angles man, which way am i soposed to look at it from? xD

  • 6D SEX

  • if you look at one volume in particular and follow it, you see it pop into existence and then disappear- this must be the 4D cube rotating so you can no longer see that side.

  • sooooo wierd

  • My mind is officially blown, you know what else there is a crop circle that depicts this...

  • I've lost my right angle and my mind.

  • I understand it.

  • It is not possible to 'see' even a 3d cube with all the angles at 'right' angles because of perspective distortion. Slowly walk through a rectangular doorway looking at it as you go. You know that it is rectangular, that its right angles don't really change, but it looks like it is distorting horribly. The tesseract looks like it is distorting because of visual perspective in the same way. All of the angles actually are right angles and don't really change.

  • I imagine every unique particle in any interaction has having a linear, wrapping (e.g. spiraling) action. When I see this, I imagine it as layers of a constantly forming physical pattern, and ideas of 4d become remote, as I realize that every particle has its unique path. What I contemplate is: Why is the universe so easy to describe in simple terms (4D)? This level of thinking baffles most.

    So, it is always a sense of what we are not seeing. But, I say, what can we do with what we know?

  • lol i thought it was a song by the band

  • Square - spin it and look at it from the side (you are in flatland) the 4 sides (line segments) follow each other around, clockwise or counter clockwise.

    Cube - you can make a cube out of that spinning square - put another one above it (and all the squares between - a stack)

    So now the original spinning has one watching 4 Square-sides following each other. But there happen to be two new versions of this four in a row. (Thus 3 rotations.)

    4D Cube - while the original cube spins on any axis

  • @LAEXCITOSAAPARECIDA you can make an exact copy of it, perpendicularly, one unit from the 3D plane that the first one is in, into 4th D. (The start cube and the end cube.) While its spinning you make a copy out there in the 4th D. (And you fill in all the ones in between.) Voila.

    All the turning you can do in 3D looks week to Them because it provides no diff perspective, just tilts it about. (Like our looking strait at an axis of rotation.) 6 rotations now. Again 4 sides following each other.

  • @LAEXCITOSAAPARECIDA @LAEXCITOSAAPARECIDA you can make an exact copy of it, perpendicularly, one unit from the 3D plane that the first one is in, into 4th D. (The start cube & end cube.) While its spinning you make a copy out there in the 4th D. (And you fill in all the ones in between.) Voila.

    All the turning you can do in 3D looks weak to Them as it provides no diff perspective, just tilts it about. (Like our looking strait at an axis of rotation.) 6 rotations now. Again a sequence of 4 sides

  • So hypothetically, if I was in a physical 4th dimension then I could see inside of sealed/closed rooms, objects and people as well as see the outside of them at the same time also?

    Would the human brain even posses the ability to distinguish this into inside/outside left and right, up and down and to include 4th D axis' or possible axis....?

    I've confused myself now

  • @pierrepepi I figure the easiest way to understand 4d is to look at illusions. You won't see something in 4d ever but you can imagine it, and what you should imagine is similar to how you view a 3d object. You actually see something 2d with your eyes. And when you look at a 2d depiction for example on paper you see ALL sides of that illustration. And the same way when you see a 3d object from the 4th dimension you see all sides. There is no "in front of" or "behind", they are in the same plane.

  • @pierrepepi It takes work, but the technique is to look at those impossible triangles or other shapes, and think how the shape is real but your view of it is only 2d, the 2d image is real of a 3d object that makes you think the shape is impossible, the reality is there are connections which you cannot see unless you see the whole thing. Just the same in 4d you see perspectives which do not exist in 3d to get the whole picture.

  • i dont get it....

  • hay, could anyone plz clear this concept of mine for me. a real tesserect is all one thing. it is all the one cube. all the sides have the same cube interconnected in such a way that all the connection points match a perfect angle. it would only apear to be distorted becuase of our realm of perception. in the 4th "plane", or octave, would i be correct in that i would be able to see the whole cube, at equal lengths, hieghts, widths, all at a perfectr 90 degrees?

    what does that look like?

  • @Barnett791 @Barnett791 Good! You know how we see a cube it can look like 2 rectangles making a longer rectangle of size 1 by 1.414 (square root of 2). That is we see 2 sides the green and blue. Or we may see 1 square - the red side. Or we see a hexagon - three sides looking strait at a vertex, green, blue and red.) We haven't seen the other 3 sides yet. They have 3D retinas. Thus any 3D object can be perfectly represented on their eye. 4D objects they have our same viewing & perspective limits

  • Try to keep track of one corner during one of the W rotations. It's impossible.

  • I'd be confused as fuck if i were ever transported to a 4D world

  • @kmilkie I am certain that after some time one could understand what is going on......., or break down and go insane.

  • there are four dimensions, x, y, z, and t. T for time, and the other three are the length, width and height. You are right about us only being able to see in two dimensions and 4 dimensional organisms can see 3 dimensions.

  • Time is not a dimension. All dimension's exist within time, but time itself is not a dimension. A 3d person can only see in 2 dimension. A 4d organism can see in 3d. Consult this video. I don't much, but this guy really does. /watch?v=eGguwYPC32I

  • If a person could see the 4th dimension, would they have the ability to see the cube at different moments in time? Or is it the ability to see certain perspectives in and around the cube in a single glance?

  • this is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen

  • you know that thing called my mind, well you just blew it up

  • in a cube you can only see 3 sides at once you cant see more than 4 sides of a square only when it is transparent you can see all the sides.

    But in 4d you cant see all the sides no matter what you try. you cant see them at once its impossible soraushfcioafuoashx

  • @Warxyph 4 sides of a cube*

  • Smoke weed to go in the fourth dimension.

  • This may not truly be a tesseract, but it sure as hell helped me understand it.

  • this is not a real tesseract.. in the real 4d world, all of the vertex's are 90 degrees. its impossible to show a real tesseract to a 3d human

  • @TheShadowThug They are 90 degrees, but much like the 2D shadow of a transparent cube's vertex's appear to not be 90 degree angles, the 3D representation of a 4D Tesseract has the same visual limitations.

  • @TheShadowThug This is the projection of a 4D Tessaract onto a 3D vector space. The inner products of each of the orthogonal dimensions determines the extent of each projection in 3D, and the 2D representation of this projection results in the distorted, but fascinating, images we see here. A class in college abstract algebra will help you explore more about this.

  • @TheShadowThug Actually they are, if you look from a certain perspective. What you see is a 3D representation of a 4D object on a 2D screen. This is the best we can do for now.

  • @TheShadowThug What other people said, it's the projection of a tessaract, or as Carl Sagan put it quite nicely, the 3D 'shadow' of a tessaract, like the 2D shadow of a cube.

  • @EkkuZakku And here is the personal assistant to Mr. Captain Obvious

  • @EkkuZakku And this we do KNOW for certain because we are 3D beings now. Everything from 0D until with 3D we can describe, explain and project. Everything above, not just yet.

  • @TheShadowThug ok based on an explanation i saw this is a casted shadow of a tesseract from 4d to 3d like a plastic transparent cube on a plane

  • @TheShadowThug If I describe a building that I have a total idea of in my mind to a person and I communicate this idea/description of the building adequately to them... then it is a Real Building - whether it's been made, we intend to make one of them, or we cannot make one because we lack the materials (such as a fourth axis of dimension). Providing some different types of architectural drawings, a model or two, and some perspective images is a nice addition. These aren't "wrong," they help.

  • @TheShadowThug One way to draw a cube is to draw a small square inside a bigger square and connect the vertices {This helps demonstrate the dimension-progression (IE translate a line segment a unit of distance and it sweeps out a square; move a square and it sweeps out a cube)}. We can dress up our depiction by making all the lines slightly curved for the one-eye-open perspective. Either way it depicts all the angles 90 degrees, because that is what they are and our drawing depicts what it is.

  • @TheShadowThug Right, this would be more like the projection of a tesseract. Actually, this would be the projection of a projection. The first projection would be a solid object.

  • @TheShadowThug This is the projectional shadow of a tesseract, like we draw a cube on paper that is the projectional shadow of a 3-d cube, the drawing of the cube loses its right angles because of the loss of its 3rd dimension.

  • @TheShadowThug this is a 3d projection of a tesseract

  • @TheShadowThug i see you learned alot from a high school student explaining the 4th dimension

  • @TheShadowThug 2D objects cant exist but can 4D exist in our 3D world??

  • @TheShadowThug The vertices are 90 degrees, yes, but even when you look at a cube you do not physically see 90 degree angles. Unless you are looking at exactly one face of the cube, you are a seeing a distorted image. Your brain only perceives it as a 90 degree angle, just as a 4D being would only perceive this as having 90 degree angles.

  • @TheShadowThug The honorable Captain Obvious has spoken.

  • @TheShadowThug my brain hurts now. thankyou.

  • @TheShadowThug Therefor we also do NOT even know what real 4D would be like. It's only guessing now. Not any real human in 3D consciousness does now know it. Therefor we need to die physically to be transcended to another existence.Or just ascend. My two cents.

  • @TheShadowThug Oh my God this blows my mind. I'm so interested and yet so confused!

  • That is freaking Amazing....I feel like I just stepped into another world.

  • make this video in 3D please

  • it reminds me of those weird water-filled cylindrical toy things, with the hollow tube in the middle, that you can keep squishing around in infinite rotations. it looks like it, and moves like it for most of them. lol anyone know what im talking about?

  • A Tesseract is basically an independent 'creation' like our body or any other objects which is looped in time,in-turn trapped in cycle of birth/karma.So what keeps the Tesseract going is TIME.Dont be a Tesseract,realize your limit,break it,and get liberated...!

  • Know that only everything within the matrix has dimensions and the 4th dimension IS time with the so called 'curve' in it eventually meeting at a point creating a loop, the same reason why we live 'within' a predesignated time span..Dimension itself is finite unlike consciousness which doesn't fall in laws of maya/matrix.

  • I'm very glad you remembered all eight cubes, some people forget to represent that one properly during a rotation.

  • shit brix.

  • @hendersonn11 No... Shit Tesseracts!

  • Shadow or projection. A 3D object with a flat plane near by - can draw strait perpendicular rays from the surface of the object to the plane and make an orthogonal picture. Or you can take a single point near a 3D object (the eye, the view pt) & put a window plane between this point and the object. Drawing rays from the object to the view point, you can draw the image that is on the window plane. Taking these to 4D the window plane is 3D not flat & Orthogonal projection goes strait to a 3D area.

  • INCEPTION

  • It's weird, as I'm not THAT scientific of a guy, but the more I watch to this sequence the more I seem to understand the mechanisms of the 4th dimension.

  • Aww, it's like a geometric jellyfish

  • 4D is seeing "ACROSS." But are each of those projections doing the same thing?

  • @SeamusLight93 you cannot explain 4D as seeing "across" because across is a word for measurement in 3D space, across is usually Length.

    it is theorized that "time" is the measurement used in 4D space, but it could very well be another direction that we are unable to perceive

  • @Magnificoooooo

    If we were to observe the shadow of a 4D object, would it not be like a long hallway, with one point in time on one side and the end of the universe on the other?

  • @SeamusLight93 Shadows of one dimentional objects have no dimentions. Shadows of two dimentional objects have a single dimention. Shadows of three dimentional objects have two dimentional shadows. So, logically, four dimentional objects have three dimentional shadows. This is a rotating 3D shadow.

  • Couple things this rotating projection lacks. Hidden sides - if you look at a non-transparent solid 3D cube and move it about what you see is one to three more or less distorted square sides - you do not see all six. If instead you made the cube with six square pieces of glass - so you could see all the sides fairly well a lot of the time - then if you drew or wrote a little stuff on each side that would then turn to a mirror image of itself often. Need 3D stuff for the 8 cubes for mirror image

  • @SeamusLight93 Not sure what you mean by that, but anything is possibly really since we can only theorize about what it would be like to view a 4D object or its shadow.

  • this is awesome

  • make it in 3d like red and blue, that would be interesting

  • amazing

    

  • shit.

  • now im HIGH

  • After some time I see something that reminds me of a jellyfish

  • if u stair at 1 line the whole time u will start to understand it

  • Every side is an outer side.

    Of equal length and width, because it's still a cube.

    Watch it a while and wrap your head around that.

  • @JaysThoughts What?? outside? ican't understand that...i still look like its moving from the inside.

  • this video makes by brain sad :(

  • @Wiintendoh

    LOOOOOL

  • It's like an escalator.

  • this is just a shadow of a 4 dimensional object right?

  • @LilShaggy82 Shadow is the term Carl uses in the video "Cosmos - Carl Sagan - 4th Dimension." Instead of on our screens these Ought be shown in Actual 3D. We're supposed to consider it 3D (that we happen to be seeing on our screen). This is a Projection "One-point projection" {The scene is a set of points, and these points are projected to a plane in front of the view point (the viewer's eye).} Because its 4D the flat-window is replaced by one with volumn. The '4D person' sees the same images.

  • It's a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional representation of a 4 dimensional object. 

  • If I look hard enough into the turning tesseract

    My IQ will raise by 15 point and that's a fact

  • So all the adjacent sides are either perpendicular or parallel even though the entire object is a square?

  • @avion106 no a Tesseract is 2 3D cubes connected, like a 3D cube is 2 2D squares connected

  • @avion106 Yes how it works. Take a square and put four squares around it, adjacent & perpendicular to the 4 sides. These four squares connected to it maintain their quality of being connected, and if you travel their way thats where you go - as we get a third perpedicular direction (3D) and FOLD them so that they are Perpendicular strait UP. Now the near sides Touch. (This wouldn't Happen before.) Folded into a cube. Missing side defined by others. Next put six cubes round a cube. Fold them up.

  • if you built a model of this it will be impossible fore the lines to pass through eachother doesn't matter if it is 4d or not

  • Sorry, sorry. I figured if I looked dictionary up in the dictionary and divided by 0 at the same time I get a prize.

  • @DualcastBahamut I'm giving you something new you can do. Refuse doing this.

  • @iBenJay Okay.. Um.. Imma go with true. Moving on!

  • OH MY FUCKING GOD. I FUCKING GOT IT! I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS SHIT NOW!!

    SUCK IT EINSTEIN

  • When one box is created another cannot exsist

  • i kind of get the 4th dimension now, i am even quite sure the human eye is capable of observing 4 dimensional objects. Because looking at that without thinking makes me perceive it as an object in whole, just as if i was very zomed in on it..

  • woah

    

  • My head just exploded.

  • Yeah thats perfectly logical, nothing confusing going on here...

  • This reminds me of the novel Flatland.

  • Brain hurt...

  • OOooooOOOohhhh I get it noww!! =D

  • Can someone please explain this?

    I mean it's impossible to understand, it's like quantum physics!!

  • @Billythachikk Carl Sagan explains it very well when he talks about the fourth dimension. 

  • My brain just exploded, am i seeing the inside and outside of it? of a 3d cube????????!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @faecenation This is 4d.

  • So if you can only move a 1D object 2 ways, a 2D object 4 ways, a 3D object 6 ways, then that means you can move a 4D object 8 ways? Also a 5D object 10 ways?

    Is the growth of ways you can move the object Exponential, Linear or maybe even Cubic?

  • @FreakyKing2 You can move an object with x dimensions two ways along each of the x axises perpendicular to each other. Meaning, you can move said object in 2x directions. So yes, a 4D object can move in 2*4=8 directions and a 5D object in 2*5=10. The directions of which an object can move increases linearly with the amount of dimentions the object has.

  • @Gurksterful ah thank you

  • @FreakyKing2 With movement, you're right. But rotation is more complicated: A 2d object can only have 1 kind of rotation: x with y. A 3d object can have 3 kinds of rotation: x with y; x with z; y with z. In 4d, there are 6 kinds: x with y; x with z; y with z; w with x; w with y; w with z. (w is the 4th coordinate)

  • This helped me understand more about 4d

  • Imagine this in Minecraft

  • @botXeon just thinking that hahaha

  • @botXeon look for it on youtube... 4d craft

  • How... how... AUGH! I don't understand!

  • My mind is so freaking blown right now. I'm like, freaking out.

  • this crazy thing is sooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!

  • you just been MindFucked,MotherFucker!

  • this is a projection of a 4 dimensional object in a three dimensional world projected in two dimensions... O.o

  • @cabot2jville2010 Your eyes see everything as 2 dimensions.

    Your mind understands this video as a 3 dimensional object. Just like it understands the information from your eyes as 3 dimensional information. If you perceived it as 2 dimensional you would only see lines at different angles and different lengths.

    This 4 Dimensional cube; in it's entirety is all of the shapes you see it as in 3 dimensions, but all at the exact same time.

  • @Mrxb0x Great explaination, that's exactly what I was after.

  • @cabot2jville2010 *Turns on the 3d function and puts on glasses* NOW, its the same thing?

    THE LIES!

  • i wish my mind was bigger so i could understand shit with like 4th dimensions and the galaxy and what not

  • @graffwriter101 no matter how smart you were, you and no one else can truly ever imagine what the 4th dimension looks like, just like we can't imagine what ultraviolet actaully looks like color wise. because we cannot see it, so whatever we imagine is already a color that exists, or already a dimension that we understand.

  • @cabot2jville2010 I don't know about that, I see colours(light) I can't explain in my head. and I don't think I'm crazy. close your eyes for a second, I don't know exactly where I'm going with this but you'll see what I mean.

  • @yanchesanchez those "colors" are either the glare on your eyelids from outside lights *your eyelids are the thinnest skin on your body* OR visuals of colors you're imaging which are always colors you actually can see.  OR the little specks of light you see are your rods and cones slowly losing the light they have just recently absored.

  • Hahaha, im loving the people who are being fooled by the "rotations". That's just the animator screwing with you :)The tesseract we can see in our 3D world is like the image in the middle of video when it stops "spinning" and rotates briefly. The spinning effect in merely a square expanding upwards then shrinking back, with another one expanding through the middle while the first shrinks, join the corners and taadaa! A clever animators way of screwing you over :) great animation btw!

  • @TheStoryOfJohnny cool story johnny, but nothing is changing size in this animation. It's your perception that's screwing your brain over.

  • Thumbs up for being under the influence xD

  • NO

    STOP IT TESSERACT

    STOP BEING CONFUSING
