  • There are 2 alternate ways you might feel:-1 You really love to see things like this '600-cell' and your hobby is drawing things in more than 3D.

    -2 You have too much time and you got bored.

  • @FILTER626 Or (as in my case) it could be BOTH! :-)

  • How many dimensions is that?

  • @bioniclefan4life It's 4-dimensional. 600 tetrahedra clustered in groups of 20 around each vertex! :-)

  • @WildStar2002 *eyes spin* Wow. That's a lot of tetrahedrons. So the hyperwhatever has 30 4-dimensional vertexes? And a normal, 3-dimensional tetrahedron has four 3-dimensional vertexes, correct? So this is sort of like a 4-dimensional tetrahedron? Or is it tetrahedrons put together around a 4-dimensional shape?

  • @bioniclefan4life How'd you do thay eye-spinning thing? >;-) Yah, a *lot* of tetrahedra. The number of 4D vertices is actually 120 - each tetrahedron has 4 vertices. This object is more like the 4D version of an icosahedron (20-sided 3D object) with the tetrahedra playing the role of the triangles. The 4D analog of the tetrahedron is a much simpler object - 5 tetrahedra in clusters of 4 around 5 vertices. :-) It's called a pentatope, pentachoron, or a 4-simplex.

  • I would do anything to see things in the 4th dimension

  • @bulinger96 Yes.

  • @bulinger96 Yes. 4d icosahedron.

  • hmmm, when you rotate it it appears to be going through the sphere itself. I can officially say Wormholes exist in the 4th dimension. I mean it makes sense right? Wormholes are shortcuts through space and in 3d it dosen't make sense. (wormholes go straight to other parts of the universe in a short amount of time. The vertices go through the object when rotated in 4d.

  • but can it blend?

  • 4d icosahedron?

  • Is it soap?

  • wow das sind eindeutig zu viele Dimensionen für mich

  • I want to buy one and put it in my living room :D

  • this thing moves in4D, thats why some cells seem to be missing sometimes O_O
