I wouldn't want to be stuck in one of those! you'll be stuck in there forever.

Is the center of 1 cube equidistant from the other 7 cubes?

@ruleram1

The center of 1 cube is equidistant from the 6 other adjacent cubes and farther from his opposite.

Thx a lot! Easy to understand!

[skyyoshi86]

very good way of explaining it :D good job :D

[DeviMon1]

nice , at about 29 seconds i couldn't understand it ^^

@DeviMon1 the cube to the left is the cube that would appear to be the "inner cube" in many tesseract animations.

this is the best explanation I've ever seen of a hypercube, so big ups to you! I'm actually starting to understand it. Although it's still hard to imagine. But who has 4D vision, right?

@wantomek

No one has 4D vision, but maybe some people has 4D visualization.

There may be such folk but I personally doubt it. We can make mental images of what a tesseract is but they are never going to be even close to what a tesseract actually would be. Unfortunately we have about as much chance of intuiting the 4th dimention as Carl Sagan's flat landers did of intuiting the 3rd dimention.

Still, good fun and good mental exercise to try!

@TheCelticChimp

Maybe. It's hard to explain how 4th dimension looks like as much as explaining color-blind person what is blue color for example.
