yes there is because we have concept of what a dimension is even a congenitally blind person could eventually by some means (eye implant, direct brain stimulation, etc) imagine what vision would be like because the brain is plastic and it has creativity. what that means is it can change how it thinks and that it can create something new. I see no reason why 4D should be some hyper complex impossibility while the rest of the lower dimensions are easy. the only thing keeping us from imagining 4D is not having 3D vision. however, we can overcome this. how? first, what is 3D? a visual “cube” or 3D visual plane is just a stack of 2D visual planes. we already see in 2D, so that’s no issue. BUT since we have 2 eyes, we can make 1 eye see one 2D slice of that 3D vision “cube” and another see a slice slightly offset. then we can just fill in the rest. it isn’t that difficult to gain true visualization of 4D but it will still take some effort and experimentation
@@fiatlux4448 time is a dimension but not the 4th dimension, one way of understanding the 4 dimensional objects is thinking about a 4 dimensional spacetime but when talking about 4 dimensional objects, we can't consider a tesseract as just an object made up of just "time" dimensions.
@@requisitegold1010 Yes, and our visual information comes as 2d images. Which means I should stop now; but now I want to try "visualizing" an "image" in actual 3D (and not just how it looks when the light hits our eyes) as a stepping stone to visualizing a 4d image. Update: Im feeling highly nauseous again but it's like I can almost "see" a 3d image (and not a 2d rendition of a 3d one). Update: Oh. 3D is not too hard as long as you just try to imagine the whole structure of a relatively simple object. But it still seems like inferring shape from 2d images. I was still trying to think into the 4th dimension, it seems, thus the nausea.
I think i remember seeing something that may help visualize the 4th dimension. Let us imagine a drawing of a stick figure holding a box, and a stick figure behind them. We in the 3rd dimension who look into this image can see everything. The contents of the box, and the stick figure behind them. The stick figures can only see in the 1st dimension, so the stick figure can only see lines and any lines stop their field of view. Hence why they cannot see through the box as they only exist in the X and Y axis. If a person in the 3rd dimension were to try to interact with the second dimension, like trying to stick their hand through a page, the stick figure would only see first your finger tips, then the rest of your hand coming through, and they wouldnt understand the sequence of what this ever changing thing, one line at a time. When it is really a hand. Let us then picture the same scenario, where we are holding a box and someone is behind us. We cant see whats in the box, and we cant see the person behind us. A being in the 4th dimension can see whats in the box, the person behind us, and everything else going on around us. It trying to interact with us in the 3rd dimension would be something similar to us sticking our hand in a stick figure's line of sight. It would come seemingly out of nowhere from some other spatial reality or rift and we wouldn't understand what is really happening.
ok this single comment has helped me visualise a 4d creature entering our dimension and perceiving our dimension in the clearest way possible. thank you!
how do i visualize the 4th spatial dimension, like not visualizing lower dimension example, visualizing a 4d image(just a 3d image but see everthing inside)
I remember learning about this as a kid and I made it a point to try drawing a tesseract on all of my homework so that long into the future people would be perplexed as to why a kid was drawing 4d shapes 😂
It makes sense because if you do the matrix (value 3/4) and divide it by the 4 values you can find the value of each value, or at the very least the value of 3 of those 4 values... it’s hard to explain lol
@@minumeyli That isn't what he is saying lol. You would multiply the smallest number point that the cube in question can be divided equally by, from the w axis. By the point in that particular line itself. Then you would subtract the total number being rep'd by w from that number. Then you would take That number and divide it by every point in the matrix.
WeGoBoom it’s not really obvious unless you’ve taken a class on linear algebra I think. I remember letting z equal zero when examining cross sections of 3D objects in two space... or maybe it was third section of calculus. I can’t really remember 🤷🏻♂️

no i promise you have full capability of an understanding of these ideas. it takes exposure to the math and definitions of what dimensions really are, etc. also keep in mind that this isn't accurate portrayal, nobody actually knows what the 4th dimension is like because our eyes can only detect 2 dimensions. it's all concept (:
I find it so fascinating that there are concepts, such as the concept of 4 or more dimensions or the concept of being dead, that completely short-circuit the human brain and we as a species are physically incapable of comprehending them.
So I think I can explain the link that I had to make in order for this to make sense to you guys, and the part he kinda glossed over. Each group of edges corresponds to a dimension. A cube consists of length, width, and height edges. Length alone gives you a line, adding width makes a square, which is a series of lines, and then height makes a cube, which is a series of squares. The final dimension we have for the hypercube has the diagonal edge which links the innermost cube to the outermost, with a series of cubes in between these, like the lines in a square or the squares in a cube. Did that make sense? It would probably help to have a visual to point to, but sadly I do not have the software this guy used.
Just for the record, you definitely have my software. It's Blender, which is free and open-source. In addition, my code is in the comments. It's for an older version of blender, but still works (last I checked). It's just that the renderer changed.
Picturing a cube as a series of square does helps, thanks. Still can't visualise how a series of cubes will still not be a cube, or what'll it be, however. 🙁
Years ago I had a spontaneous out of body experience and felt quite confused after. I swear I could see everything with a 360º vision. Inside and outside of objects at the same time. Couldn't really feel like I was separate from the objects I saw anymore. Whatever I focused on my attention on, I would become it. It was weird AF but it felt natural at the same time.
That’s what happens when you ingest hallucinogenic mushrooms bro. Then your ego later reflects on your delusions as an out of body moment of genius. Hilarious. 🥴
RaeX The Gamer Because we never experienced it, it's hard for us Try to imagine a new color, you can't, you can try to mix colours you already now, but you won't make a new colour But they do exist tho, if we move along the light specter we still have other light frequencies, which would be new colors If we could see it The same way you can't imagine a deeper sound lower than 20hz, or higher than 20000hz
My theory: We are three dimensional beings, as humans. When we die, our soul travels to the fourth dimension, allowing us to also perceive in the fourth dimension. This is similar to the idea of us becoming ghosts when we die and being able to see our corpse post mortem. I don't believe you can interact with other 4 dimensional beings because we would be on different planes of existence. Example: in an apartment building (a 3d object in a 3d world), there are completely different lives on each floor (a plane within a 2d world). so technically, we are fourth dimensional beings, just after death.
I was simply listening to the band "tesseract" and somehow wound up here. Now my fascination with the geometric shape of the tesseract leaves me incapable of returning to whatever state of boredom I was in. Staring at the animation of the tesseract is about as close as I have ever came to experiencing being in a trance. This is certainly what Copernicus felt when he realized we're traveling around the sun, not the other way around. The concept of "perspective" takes on more and more importance the more I learn.
FrozenGatekeeper I didn’t learn about matrices until my first year of college. In North Carolina, the math curriculum doesn’t cover them unless you took Calculus BC.
0D - its a point = point 1D - is't an vector of points = vector. 2D - it's an vector of vectors = plane. 3D - it's an vector of planes = space. 4D - it's an vector of spaces = vector of spaces. 5D - and so one... Tesseract it's 4D cube? Really?
Actually this comments allows to understand, more or less, why it is possible to have different representations of the 4D cube. That is, both the representation of the cube connected with the "diagonal segments" to the outer cube and the representation of two cubes of the same dimension one on top of the other are equivalent, I guess.
LeiosOS oh I understood all of it, I find it fascinating learning about all these topics: Universe, Dimensions, History, Biology. Your video is very interesting.
I was so confident about my comprehension of four dimensional time space, and you just threw in so many new curveballs with the different types of physics, and the different types of ways that our physics could be perceived differently on other places
And if you want me to explain you can ask me. Its a big explanation so i asked you first. Its interesting. If you start to think about it youre mind will feel like its sinking in the 4th dimension.
@@anshumansingh678 I won't understand it. Because i know my nature to understand things is only possible when i touch and see it. But if your explanation is like for 10 year kid, you're welcome with explanation
@@nikdrive7695 so, firstly, if youre given a 4D object. You WILL see it as a 3D object. Your eyes wont be able to see the 4th dimension of it. You will only see the 3 dimensions. For ex- Go in 2D world. There people are flat with next to no height. They only see right and left. They cant see up and down. Their field of vision is a line parallel to the flat 2D world. (Like a flat paper kept on a flat table, will only see parallel to the table). So if you try to come in their world, they will only see your cross section, i.e. the cross section lying on the table(like they are lying) they will not be able to see the upper and lower part of your body. (And they cant). Now come back to the 3D world. If a person from the 4D world comes to your world and tries to show himself to you, you will see him in 3D not 4D. Like the 2D paper couldn't see your upper and lower body(i.e. couldn't see the 3rd Dimension part of you), you also wont be able to see the 4th dimension part of a 4D figure. You will see the 3 dimensions of it only. Hope this helps. Btw imma 12th grade student. (these things are not meant for a 12th grade student, lol) (10th grade is high school -for reference.)

But to a 4th dimensional being, if one hypothetically existed, would see the rotation of the tesaract as a simple rotation, much like we would see if a cube was rotating.
So true we only know our own dimensions and less but need to study hard for the bigger dimensions Thats the universe ... also its not like you would know all about 4th dimension... you only get a little piece of the highers knowledge
And also in order to make a 4D object out of a 3D object we will have to add 3D objects in a 4D way just like we added planes in the Z Direction to make a cube
This was very helpful in explaining why 2D representations of tesseracts look as they do! I've always considered the w axis to be time, or duration, and tesseracts are coherent sequences of expanding/contracting 3D cubes (a simple model, to be sure). Now I see people combine the x,y and z,w planes to fit the 2D monitor. Very informative; thank you ~
You would see the beginning and the end of everything in your universe. You can watch the movie Interstellar, there is one scene the time is portraited in a comprehensible way.
I gotta admit, I really enjoyed making this video. I have always heard about the 4th dimension, but it wasn't until I actually implemented the double rotations that I really came to understand how cool 4d stuff can be! In particular, the projections from 4d -> 3d were hard to find on the internet, so I hope that helped someone! As always, let me know what you think. Thanks for watching / I'll see you next time!
Dark-Lark If I am not mistaken, this is simply taking 2d projections of a 4d object. It's crazy and a little difficult to show, but I can look into it.
Dark-Lark was talking about how Miegakure might render a tesseract, where none of its cells are parallel to a 3D slicing plane, in which an image of the tesseract is "cut." From his description, one notices how much tougher it is to visualize 4D via sectioning rather than projection.
I understand the figure geometrically but it really doesn't make sense to me to figure out a 4 dimensional object as an object embedded into another. looks to me that this theory only works in geometry.
Gilbert X The tesseract is the shadow of a 4D cube, a 3D rep. Trying to imagine the fourth dimension is futile, it is as if explaining color to one who was blind from birth. We are not biologically equipped to perceive in 4D. Cast a shadow from the lattice of a 3D cube onto a surface and you will notice that the shadow resembles nothing of a 3D cube as it is in our space.
Yes. First, there’s this 0 dimension where there is only a dot. Double the dot and connect them, there will become a line. This would be the one dimension. Double the line and connect them, there would be a plane (square). This would be a 2D. Double the plain and connect them, there would be a cube. This is the 3D. Now, for the 4D. Double the cube and connect them... we can never comprehend this but at least, you have the idea.
But you see, it is not just about making two and connect. For example, in a 1D, there’s a series of dots to create a line. In 2D, there’s a series of lines to create a plane (square). In 3D, there’s a series of squares to create a cube. Just imagine slicing the cube into very thin slices. So in order to create a cube, there should be plenty of 2D planes... so in 4D, there should be a series of cubes... we can’t imagine or comprehend... but that’s the idea. A 4D “cube” or Tesseract is a series of cubes... 🤯
Yeah dmt loves to show impossible 4d/5d geometry. The sacred entites live past the walls of geometry in higher dimensions where crystal buildings made of light exist as well as full populated areas of entites. They love you!!!!!
I first heard of tesseracts as a young girl in the early 60's. A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeline D'Engle, I think it won some awards. The tesseract was a time/space/dimension vehicle. I never forgot that, even now decades later. Thanks for this video.
Charlotte C oh ... I just read that book becuase I love science fiction but stoped reading it halfway through because it got insane by mixing mythology and science and stuff together
Multi Gaming, thanks for your reply! I read it about 50 years ago, and don't remember all the details, but the tesseract concept was intriguing even then, and I have always recalled that part of the book. Btw, the author is Madeline L'Engle, thanks for giving me the chance to correct my earlier comment. :)
It is all amazing, but the moment you realize " This is how it looks for us in 3 Dimensions " is very important part of that. Cause we cannot even observe 4th dimension or 5th and so on in its actual glory if we live in 3 dimensions. It is the same like if there would be beings living in 2 dimensions. they would never understand how the fuck 3 dimensions work or look like from their perspective. It is quite insane. I mean best example is actually right in front of your eyes - you are looking at this video which is recorder and created in 3 Dimensional world, yet after its inside for everyone to see - it becomes 2D, no matter what you see there. " INSANE yet simple " So even when you play games that are 3D, you observe them on your screen which means they are a 2D projection of 3d representation. Real 3D would be if you actually seen them physically around you. Not through screen. But I do believe that dimensions are literally like a rivers that can be crossed over - but obviously when the knowledge grows higher. Cause nothing is impossible. If it would be, what the fuck would be the point ; )
regarding "Real 3D would be if you actually seen them physically around you", this is not true, you still see in 2D regardless of where you look. If you truly saw in 3D (depth) then substances such as Vantablack wouldnt look 2D even if they were put on a 3D object, because you would be able to see depth. Your perception is still what makes it look like you see in depth. for instance "So even when you play games that are 3D, you observe them on your screen which means they are a 2D projection of 3d representation", imagine you played them via VR. now it looks like its a part of your reality. Lets disregard all techincal differences between VR and reality, so in terms of vision the only difference would be that the objects are real matter (and have the consequences of real matter). As far as vision goes there is barely any difference. In reality you can walk around an object to make sure its 3D, so can you in VR etc. Our eyes only see 2D, the brain makes us percieve it as 3D. My point is "real 3D" is as real as VR in terms of human vision.
This shows that everything we see is just a slither of reality and it is entirely possible to have more dimensions that we are unable to imagine since we havent seen it yet.
Is it possible that we can't see any higher dimensional beings but they can see us? Cause what if we die we become a higher dimensional being? Hmmmmm.... 🤔🤔🤔
@@century1969 Yes. The same way that we can look upon a paper and see the two dimensional being on it. They would not see us until we stick our hand through the paper, in which case they would only see a arm-shaped (arm circumference) circle. Assuming that the entities on the paper are alive, that is. They would not be able to see outside the paper and onto our arm, only the part of the arm that's straight ahead for them (which btw popped out instantaneously out of nowhere), they would be unable to fathom a third axis. Meanwhile we can't see outside of our third dimensional space, if there is an outside.
Further clarification: The cube on the inside is the cube furthest away from us in the 4th dimension, the cube on the outside is the one closest to us. The other six deformed cubes are inbetween. When you rotate in the 4th dimension the cubes change order, this is because you are changing your distance from one to another. The same thing happens with an 3 dimensional cube where we have 6 squares. The smallest square is the face away from us and the largest is the one closest. The deformed squares are somewhere inbetween. If we rotate around a cube the size of the squares changes.
One thing to note is that the projection of a 4-D hypercube animation onto a 3-D plane causes the lengths of some sides to appear longer. In reality each and every one of the sides of the hypercube is the same length in 4-D space.
"We can represent this cube as a series of planes." Sorry - no. Adding planes of ZERO thickness will never produce a cube - the sum of their thicknesses is ZERO. All the video material for the garbage can.
I coded it in python using OpenGL, along with the help of this video and a really helpful redditor who clarified any and every doubt I had during the process! It was so satisfying to see it in the end and keep up the great work with the videos!
I think I now understand what a tesseract finally is after many years of knowing about it. I've always heard about the understanding of the other dimensions but you put it well when explaining this video. Essentially, this 4D object is scaled with 3D shapes, similar to a 3D object being scaled with 2D shapes, as you showed around 1:07 and 1:17
I like the superpower of space manipulation, so it’s something I think about occasionally, and I think I got something to _maybe_ explain part of 4D, though I’m not sure if it’s just 3D space still. So imagine; before you is a normal, wooden desk-with nothing but a flat surface sat on four legs. On that desk is a similarly normal piece of blank paper. That is 3D space. Now shift your view to the side, to where you can see where the desk and paper meet. The space between that desk and piece of paper is 4D space. From the view of 3D it’s practically nothing, true, but in 4D the distance between the two may as well be immeasurable. Think of it like the 4D plane is the ocean, the piece of paper is "floating" on the surface of the 4D plane right above the deepest part, the part just where the water meets ground again being that desk. Of course, this metaphorical ocean can’t be seen, so if you grabbed a pencil and "pushed" it down into that water, it would disappear, but if you had the ability (spatial manipulation) to see it and interact with it, you could "grab and pull" it back out. Like a magician twisting their hand and making an object seem to disappear, or pulling a object out from behind a person’s ear. Of course, this space is anywhere and everywhere, you could even "put" or "grab" a pencil from thin air, or from "inside" a cube. And I know this may sound a bit similar to the "house bigger on the inside" thing but I like to explain that through "density", increasing the amount of space in a space. For example; having a football field’s amount of space in a 5 foot area, so traveling through it would take the amount of time it’d take to cross a football field. I could honestly go on a rant of how I imagine to/explain to myself how space manipulation works using only more simple things, like using a pipe/tube to explain the looping hallway/area trick, but this is already long xD
Carl Sagan actually explained this well via using "2d trying to see 3d" to explain it. To paraphrase (ish)… A 2d character, whether just a square on a piece of paper or a video game character like mario, can only see/move left, right, forwards, and backward, they can’t see up and down. Say the paper square lived in a neighborhood and had similarly shapely neighbors and entered its house; to us it would just be four walls, but the square doesn’t know depth. If a 3d object was put on that piece of paper, the square would only see the part of it on its 2d plane. If that paper square were blown out of its 2d plane and into the 3d plane of "up", it would see the inside of its neighbors houses, and when it eventually fluttered back down, it would’ve appeared like it had just disappeared and reappeared in the pov of 2d. I recommend watching the video actually
I always imagined the fourth dimension as being some how “inside the 3rd dimension” like If you could somehow rip a hole through space time and step through youd be in the fourth dimension and you’d be in a higher plane and able to see through all the 3D objects
Like a 2D cartoon ripping a square piece of paper down its sides (not in half through the middle) to create (thinner) pieces of square paper that then encompass all 4 sides of its body like being inside a cube (or room), absolutely breaks my mind trying to imagine what ripping a cube down its 'sides' and creating new planes around your body to step into the 4th dimension. That's not even accounting for what a 2D creature would behave like in a 3D space let alone us 3D creatures in a 4D space. Bonkers
How I understand it: 1d has shadow of 0d, a point 2d has shadow of 1d, a line 3d has shadow of 2d, a shape So in that case, a 4d tesseract will have a 3d cube as it’s shadow And something 5d will have tesseracts as a shadow
You can consider time a dimension. It's just not a spatial dimension. We say we live in a 3D world because we can see in three spatial dimensions. However there are 4D shapes such as the tesseract, 3-sphere, and Klein bottle.
Time IS indeed a dimension, you just travel in it in one direction, you cannot manipulate it all by yourself. The 3 other dimensions you can, i.e. travel in any combination of direction(s). Time on the other hand, you travel on in one direction, and you cannot manipulate it. If you can 'move' at will in time, such as if you can move back or forward at a faster speed than you're already moving, you can say that you have indeed traveled in 4D where you had control. You still live in a 4D spatial dimension, you just don't have control over the 4th one.
Mirco Illetschko it’s because teachers don’t think we are capable of learning at a younger age but I disagree because the earlier you learn something, the more likely you will think outside the box
Quite simply because almost none of use would ever get use of this information. Wait a second, doesn't school already do exactly that? Nevermind, lets do it your way.
Because it's not very useful outside of certain branches of things like ridiculously high-level mathematics, and also requires a better understanding of math than most people gain in high school or college. To top it off, it's not a concept that most people, myself included, can even wrap their head around without massive amounts of time studying that subject exclusively with an unusually talented teacher.
Well. I don't know what to tell you. This is a math video explaining a complicated topic. The title says "Understanding 4D" and specifically shows the tesseract. The thumbnail shows a 3D cube projected on to 2D, which is the easiest analogy to understanding 4D... This is about the least click bait a video could be.
Thank you! In a world where people think they know everything, it's good for someone to come along to tell everyone how stupid we really are. We just can't pretend we know these things and throw a bunch of your own theories and pass it as our own truth. I wish it could be like this in other areas like sociology, psychology, history.
@@Wang_KeD Not rue at all lol. You guys are saying this because, well you're uneducated no offense. But logically, there are immutable truths that can't change due to being neccesary, such as existence itself being a certainty(I think therefore I am). Theres a few other absolute truths too. The issue is that science as a field is built on being falsifiable, and hence is not "absolutely true" like logic.
Simulate 3d on 2d, if you try to look cube at the right position you would see 2 squares (one is bigger and another is smaller, with some lines connecting both square), now try simulating some cube rotation on your 2D monitor (or try it with model, place yourself as flatlander and look at it with perspective view), you would see that square in the front and back are getting smaller while other get bigger
Our reality lets us rotate 3 dimensions at will but not on the 4th (time which is fixed constantly rotating in one direction). I believe the point of perspective (where the "camera" is located) is actually consciousness (each of us). That is why when people have NDEs they come back saying that they were able to see every moment in time "at the same time"; they briefly became 4D. OK back to work now.
A simple method of drawing 4d objects is to simply double the points Example I have a dot, a 0 dimensions object, i draw another dot next to it and connect them, now i got a 1d object i do the same with this 1d object now i have 4 dots connect them and i have a 2d object, i do the same thing again connect the dots and i have a 3d object, now i double the dots and connect them again and ta dah (this is a method i discovered in class while doodling, idk if it's correct)
i think i understood, the reason why tesseracts look like there is a cube inside and morphing in size and a cube can explain it. if you take an image of a cube rotating, you can see it forms a square between the cube lines. i think it's the same here
you show me a 4D object in 3D world on my 2D screen and I try to understand this with my 1D brain

I'm now trying to visualize a 4d ball on a flat plane extruded into the 4th dimension to see if that helps.
Update: I think I can visualize this.

I think i remember seeing something that may help visualize the 4th dimension.
Let us imagine a drawing of a stick figure holding a box, and a stick figure behind them.
We in the 3rd dimension who look into this image can see everything. The contents of the box, and the stick figure behind them.
The stick figures can only see in the 1st dimension, so the stick figure can only see lines and any lines stop their field of view. Hence why they cannot see through the box as they only exist in the X and Y axis.
If a person in the 3rd dimension were to try to interact with the second dimension, like trying to stick their hand through a page, the stick figure would only see first your finger tips, then the rest of your hand coming through, and they wouldnt understand the sequence of what this ever changing thing, one line at a time. When it is really a hand.
Let us then picture the same scenario, where we are holding a box and someone is behind us.
We cant see whats in the box, and we cant see the person behind us.
A being in the 4th dimension can see whats in the box, the person behind us, and everything else going on around us.
It trying to interact with us in the 3rd dimension would be something similar to us sticking our hand in a stick figure's line of sight. It would come seemingly out of nowhere from some other spatial reality or rift and we wouldn't understand what is really happening.
ok this single comment has helped me visualise a 4d creature entering our dimension and perceiving our dimension in the clearest way possible. thank you!

By the point in that particular line itself. Then you would subtract the total number being rep'd by w from that number. Then you would take That number and divide it by every point in the matrix.

Square inside an another square goes brrrrrr
Spin a paper with a square on it. You understand that? Good well good luck grasping this
So I think I can explain the link that I had to make in order for this to make sense to you guys, and the part he kinda glossed over. Each group of edges corresponds to a dimension. A cube consists of length, width, and height edges. Length alone gives you a line, adding width makes a square, which is a series of lines, and then height makes a cube, which is a series of squares. The final dimension we have for the hypercube has the diagonal edge which links the innermost cube to the outermost, with a series of cubes in between these, like the lines in a square or the squares in a cube.
Did that make sense? It would probably help to have a visual to point to, but sadly I do not have the software this guy used.
Just for the record, you definitely have my software. It's Blender, which is free and open-source. In addition, my code is in the comments. It's for an older version of blender, but still works (last I checked). It's just that the renderer changed.

@@inforcer9454 Imagine 4d beings finding this hard
The fourth dimension is not what you're thinking
Imagine a 2D world thinking 3D is so difficult
My theory: We are three dimensional beings, as humans. When we die, our soul travels to the fourth dimension, allowing us to also perceive in the fourth dimension. This is similar to the idea of us becoming ghosts when we die and being able to see our corpse post mortem. I don't believe you can interact with other 4 dimensional beings because we would be on different planes of existence. Example: in an apartment building (a 3d object in a 3d world), there are completely different lives on each floor (a plane within a 2d world). so technically, we are fourth dimensional beings, just after death.

Now my fascination with the geometric shape of the tesseract leaves me incapable of returning to whatever state of boredom I was in.

This is certainly what Copernicus felt when he realized we're traveling around the sun, not the other way around. The concept of "perspective" takes on more and more importance the more I learn.

@@nikdrive7695 so, firstly, if youre given a 4D object. You WILL see it as a 3D object. Your eyes wont be able to see the 4th dimension of it. You will only see the 3 dimensions. For ex-
Go in 2D world.
There people are flat with next to no height. They only see right and left. They cant see up and down. Their field of vision is a line parallel to the flat 2D world. (Like a flat paper kept on a flat table, will only see parallel to the table). So if you try to come in their world, they will only see your cross section, i.e. the cross section lying on the table(like they are lying) they will not be able to see the upper and lower part of your body. (And they cant).
Now come back to the 3D world.
If a person from the 4D world comes to your world and tries to show himself to you, you will see him in 3D not 4D. Like the 2D paper couldn't see your upper and lower body(i.e. couldn't see the 3rd Dimension part of you), you also wont be able to see the 4th dimension part of a 4D figure. You will see the 3 dimensions of it only.
Hope this helps.
Btw imma 12th grade student. (these things are not meant for a 12th grade student, lol)

But to a 4th dimensional being, if one hypothetically existed, would see the rotation of the tesaract as a simple rotation, much like we would see if a cube was rotating.
Totally true. That's the most mind-boggling thing about this.
So true we only know our own dimensions and less but need to study hard for the bigger dimensions
Thats the universe
...
also its not like you would know all about 4th dimension... you only get a little piece of the highers knowledge
And also in order to make a 4D object out of a 3D object we will have to add 3D objects in a 4D way just like we added planes in the Z Direction to make a cube
What if it was a 4th dimensional being that can only see in 3d, unable to see itself.

This was very helpful in explaining why 2D representations of tesseracts look as they do! I've always considered the w axis to be time, or duration, and tesseracts are coherent sequences of expanding/contracting 3D cubes (a simple model, to be sure). Now I see people combine the x,y and z,w planes to fit the 2D monitor. Very informative; thank you ~

You can watch the movie Interstellar, there is one scene the time is portraited in a comprehensible way.
I gotta admit, I really enjoyed making this video. I have always heard about the 4th dimension, but it wasn't until I actually implemented the double rotations that I really came to understand how cool 4d stuff can be!

As always, let me know what you think. Thanks for watching / I'll see you next time!
Are the stereographic and Hopf coordinates on that same wikipedia page of any use?
I implemented them...
Dark-Lark If I am not mistaken, this is simply taking 2d projections of a 4d object. It's crazy and a little difficult to show, but I can look into it.
Cooper Gates I honestly did not implement them myself, so I cannot be sure. I think they generally make the math a little easier.
Dark-Lark was talking about how Miegakure might render a tesseract, where none of its
cells are parallel to a 3D slicing plane, in which an image of the tesseract is "cut."
From his description, one notices how much tougher it is to visualize 4D via sectioning
rather than projection.
Will you build a 4D world that can hold many objects?
I loved this video but I didn't understand a single thing..
Ah, well. Let me know if you have questions, then!
I understand the figure geometrically but it really doesn't make sense to me to figure out a 4 dimensional object as an object embedded into another. looks to me that this theory only works in geometry.
Gilbert X The tesseract is the shadow of a 4D cube, a 3D rep. Trying to imagine the fourth dimension is futile, it is as if explaining color to one who was blind from birth. We are not biologically equipped to perceive in 4D.
Cast a shadow from the lattice of a 3D cube onto a surface and you will notice that the shadow resembles nothing of a 3D cube as it is in our space.

Me at end of video: So it's a cube within a cube connected with lines
Basically lol
Yes. First, there’s this 0 dimension where there is only a dot. Double the dot and connect them, there will become a line. This would be the one dimension. Double the line and connect them, there would be a plane (square). This would be a 2D. Double the plain and connect them, there would be a cube. This is the 3D. Now, for the 4D. Double the cube and connect them... we can never comprehend this but at least, you have the idea.
But you see, it is not just about making two and connect. For example, in a 1D, there’s a series of dots to create a line. In 2D, there’s a series of lines to create a plane (square). In 3D, there’s a series of squares to create a cube. Just imagine slicing the cube into very thin slices. So in order to create a cube, there should be plenty of 2D planes... so in 4D, there should be a series of cubes... we can’t imagine or comprehend... but that’s the idea. A 4D “cube” or Tesseract is a series of cubes... 🤯

Man, Madeline L'Engle, she had some wonderful books! I used to love them when I was younger. Definitely shaped how I saw the world back then.
Charlotte C oh ... I just read that book becuase I love science fiction but stoped reading it halfway through because it got insane by mixing mythology and science and stuff together
Multi Gaming, thanks for your reply! I read it about 50 years ago, and don't remember all the details, but the tesseract concept was intriguing even then, and I have always recalled that part of the book. Btw, the author is Madeline L'Engle, thanks for giving me the chance to correct my earlier comment. :)
Same! That book left such a deep impression on me who doesn't read much
Hi Jeannie! thanks for your reply. I am happy to hear your thoughts!
It is all amazing, but the moment you realize " This is how it looks for us in 3 Dimensions " is very important part of that. Cause we cannot even observe 4th dimension or 5th and so on in its actual glory if we live in 3 dimensions. It is the same like if there would be beings living in 2 dimensions. they would never understand how the fuck 3 dimensions work or look like from their perspective. It is quite insane.
I mean best example is actually right in front of your eyes - you are looking at this video which is recorder and created in 3 Dimensional world, yet after its inside for everyone to see - it becomes 2D, no matter what you see there. " INSANE yet simple "
So even when you play games that are 3D, you observe them on your screen which means they are a 2D projection of 3d representation. Real 3D would be if you actually seen them physically around you. Not through screen.
But I do believe that dimensions are literally like a rivers that can be crossed over - but obviously when the knowledge grows higher. Cause nothing is impossible. If it would be, what the fuck would be the point ; )
Mark Johnson the sun is a prime example of a 4D being.... The insides become the outsides ;)
regarding "Real 3D would be if you actually seen them physically around you", this is not true, you still see in 2D regardless of where you look. If you truly saw in 3D (depth) then substances such as Vantablack wouldnt look 2D even if they were put on a 3D object, because you would be able to see depth. Your perception is still what makes it look like you see in depth. for instance "So even when you play games that are 3D, you observe them on your screen which means they are a 2D projection of 3d representation", imagine you played them via VR. now it looks like its a part of your reality. Lets disregard all techincal differences between VR and reality, so in terms of vision the only difference would be that the objects are real matter (and have the consequences of real matter). As far as vision goes there is barely any difference. In reality you can walk around an object to make sure its 3D, so can you in VR etc. Our eyes only see 2D, the brain makes us percieve it as 3D. My point is "real 3D" is as real as VR in terms of human vision.
This shows that everything we see is just a slither of reality and it is entirely possible to have more dimensions that we are unable to imagine since we havent seen it yet.
Is it possible that we can't see any higher dimensional beings but they can see us? Cause what if we die we become a higher dimensional being? Hmmmmm.... 🤔🤔🤔
@@century1969 Yes. The same way that we can look upon a paper and see the two dimensional being on it. They would not see us until we stick our hand through the paper, in which case they would only see a arm-shaped (arm circumference) circle. Assuming that the entities on the paper are alive, that is. They would not be able to see outside the paper and onto our arm, only the part of the arm that's straight ahead for them (which btw popped out instantaneously out of nowhere), they would be unable to fathom a third axis. Meanwhile we can't see outside of our third dimensional space, if there is an outside.
Video: "understanding 4D"
My brain: "video got numbers, letters, and boxes"
Further clarification: The cube on the inside is the cube furthest away from us in the 4th dimension, the cube on the outside is the one closest to us. The other six deformed cubes are inbetween. When you rotate in the 4th dimension the cubes change order, this is because you are changing your distance from one to another. The same thing happens with an 3 dimensional cube where we have 6 squares. The smallest square is the face away from us and the largest is the one closest. The deformed squares are somewhere inbetween. If we rotate around a cube the size of the squares changes.

One thing to note is that the projection of a 4-D hypercube animation onto a 3-D plane causes the lengths of some sides to appear longer. In reality each and every one of the sides of the hypercube is the same length in 4-D space.
Cool observation, thanks. Another commenter called what we are seeing the "shadow" of the 4d cube and that was useful to me.
"We can represent this cube as a series of planes."
Sorry - no.
Adding planes of ZERO thickness will never produce a cube - the sum of their thicknesses is ZERO.
All the video material for the garbage can.
thank you! i don't think i'll ever get close to understanding it, but you did a great job and now i understand a bit more...
I coded it in python using OpenGL, along with the help of this video and a really helpful redditor who clarified any and every doubt I had during the process! It was so satisfying to see it in the end and keep up the great work with the videos!
I think I now understand what a tesseract finally is after many years of knowing about it. I've always heard about the understanding of the other dimensions but you put it well when explaining this video. Essentially, this 4D object is scaled with 3D shapes, similar to a 3D object being scaled with 2D shapes, as you showed around 1:07 and 1:17

I like the superpower of space manipulation, so it’s something I think about occasionally, and I think I got something to _maybe_ explain part of 4D, though I’m not sure if it’s just 3D space still.
So imagine; before you is a normal, wooden desk-with nothing but a flat surface sat on four legs. On that desk is a similarly normal piece of blank paper. That is 3D space. Now shift your view to the side, to where you can see where the desk and paper meet. The space between that desk and piece of paper is 4D space. From the view of 3D it’s practically nothing, true, but in 4D the distance between the two may as well be immeasurable.
Think of it like the 4D plane is the ocean, the piece of paper is "floating" on the surface of the 4D plane right above the deepest part, the part just where the water meets ground again being that desk. Of course, this metaphorical ocean can’t be seen, so if you grabbed a pencil and "pushed" it down into that water, it would disappear, but if you had the ability (spatial manipulation) to see it and interact with it, you could "grab and pull" it back out.
Like a magician twisting their hand and making an object seem to disappear, or pulling a object out from behind a person’s ear.
Of course, this space is anywhere and everywhere, you could even "put" or "grab" a pencil from thin air, or from "inside" a cube.
And I know this may sound a bit similar to the "house bigger on the inside" thing but I like to explain that through "density", increasing the amount of space in a space. For example; having a football field’s amount of space in a 5 foot area, so traveling through it would take the amount of time it’d take to cross a football field.
I could honestly go on a rant of how I imagine to/explain to myself how space manipulation works using only more simple things, like using a pipe/tube to explain the looping hallway/area trick, but this is already long xD
yoo ngl you got good imaginaiton powers bro 😦

Could you imagine the stuff from my descriptions?
Carl Sagan actually explained this well via using "2d trying to see 3d" to explain it. To paraphrase (ish)…
A 2d character, whether just a square on a piece of paper or a video game character like mario, can only see/move left, right, forwards, and backward, they can’t see up and down.
Say the paper square lived in a neighborhood and had similarly shapely neighbors and entered its house; to us it would just be four walls, but the square doesn’t know depth. If a 3d object was put on that piece of paper, the square would only see the part of it on its 2d plane. If that paper square were blown out of its 2d plane and into the 3d plane of "up", it would see the inside of its neighbors houses, and when it eventually fluttered back down, it would’ve appeared like it had just disappeared and reappeared in the pov of 2d.
I recommend watching the video actually

What is this, the History Channel?
I always imagined the fourth dimension as being some how “inside the 3rd dimension” like If you could somehow rip a hole through space time and step through youd be in the fourth dimension and you’d be in a higher plane and able to see through all the 3D objects
Like a 2D cartoon ripping a square piece of paper down its sides (not in half through the middle) to create (thinner) pieces of square paper that then encompass all 4 sides of its body like being inside a cube (or room), absolutely breaks my mind trying to imagine what ripping a cube down its 'sides' and creating new planes around your body to step into the 4th dimension. That's not even accounting for what a 2D creature would behave like in a 3D space let alone us 3D creatures in a 4D space. Bonkers
My DAILY BROWSING OF WIKIPEDIA 😂😂😂
@Ved Kolambkar but still a person. Period.
How I understand it:
1d has shadow of 0d, a point
2d has shadow of 1d, a line
3d has shadow of 2d, a shape
So in that case, a 4d tesseract will have a 3d cube as it’s shadow
And something 5d will have tesseracts as a shadow
The Sense of humour in these comments is much more than my IQ 😓😬

**Confused Oonga Boonga**
All my life I was being fooled that, 'TIME' is the fourth dimension.
You can consider time a dimension. It's just not a spatial dimension. We say we live in a 3D world because we can see in three spatial dimensions. However there are 4D shapes such as the tesseract, 3-sphere, and Klein bottle.
Time IS indeed a dimension, you just travel in it in one direction, you cannot manipulate it all by yourself. The 3 other dimensions you can, i.e. travel in any combination of direction(s). Time on the other hand, you travel on in one direction, and you cannot manipulate it. If you can 'move' at will in time, such as if you can move back or forward at a faster speed than you're already moving, you can say that you have indeed traveled in 4D where you had control.
You still live in a 4D spatial dimension, you just don't have control over the 4th one.
Personally I think the 4th dimension is inside and out.
Think of a Klein bottle and read that sentence again
Time is the fourth dimension in physics (Riemann space), not in mathematics.
Space time
Why dont't we learn that in school??
It depends on where you go to school and if college counts...
Mirco Illetschko it’s because teachers don’t think we are capable of learning at a younger age but I disagree because the earlier you learn something, the more likely you will think outside the box
Mirco Illetschko because its really advanced
Quite simply because almost none of use would ever get use of this information. Wait a second, doesn't school already do exactly that? Nevermind, lets do it your way.
Because it's not very useful outside of certain branches of things like ridiculously high-level mathematics, and also requires a better understanding of math than most people gain in high school or college. To top it off, it's not a concept that most people, myself included, can even wrap their head around without massive amounts of time studying that subject exclusively with an unusually talented teacher.
Me at begining: let me understanding 4D.🧐
After watching video: got it, I don't need to understand 🤪🤯
This isn't the content I wanted, nor was it what I expected based off the title.
Well. I don't know what to tell you. This is a math video explaining a complicated topic. The title says "Understanding 4D" and specifically shows the tesseract. The thumbnail shows a 3D cube projected on to 2D, which is the easiest analogy to understanding 4D...
This is about the least click bait a video could be.

Lol.... 😂😂😂

Thank you! In a world where people think they know everything, it's good for someone to come along to tell everyone how stupid we really are. We just can't pretend we know these things and throw a bunch of your own theories and pass it as our own truth. I wish it could be like this in other areas like sociology, psychology, history.
Its not about being stupid but not being able to understand 4d as a 3d being just like a 2d being would not understand 3d.
its not callled being stupid. we are 3d being trying to understand 4d. thats like calling a blind man dumb cause he cant see colours
The thing is the more we come to know, the more we realize that we know absolutely nothing
@@Wang_KeD Not rue at all lol. You guys are saying this because, well you're uneducated no offense. But logically, there are immutable truths that can't change due to being neccesary, such as existence itself being a certainty(I think therefore I am). Theres a few other absolute truths too. The issue is that science as a field is built on being falsifiable, and hence is not "absolutely true" like logic.
We aren't dumb. it's just that we never saw the 4th dimensions so we can't visualize it.
Well this made me understand the hypercube even less.
hahahaha
Se~no
Simulate 3d on 2d, if you try to look cube at the right position you would see 2 squares (one is bigger and another is smaller, with some lines connecting both square), now try simulating some cube rotation on your 2D monitor (or try it with model, place yourself as flatlander and look at it with perspective view), you would see that square in the front and back are getting smaller while other get bigger
@@That_One_Guy... I'm so sorry to make you go through all that effort of typing because it was a joke comment actually, sorry.
@@korterkaks I'm glad he did
This is awesome! I'm currently trying to program a tesseract into desmos and this really helped me visualize the math side of it. Great stuff!
Our reality lets us rotate 3 dimensions at will but not on the 4th (time which is fixed constantly rotating in one direction). I believe the point of perspective (where the "camera" is located) is actually consciousness (each of us). That is why when people have NDEs they come back saying that they were able to see every moment in time "at the same time"; they briefly became 4D. OK back to work now.
A simple method of drawing 4d objects is to simply double the points
Example
I have a dot, a 0 dimensions object, i draw another dot next to it and connect them, now i got a 1d object i do the same with this 1d object now i have 4 dots connect them and i have a 2d object, i do the same thing again connect the dots and i have a 3d object, now i double the dots and connect them again and ta dah (this is a method i discovered in class while doodling, idk if it's correct)
This is actually a super common method to show the different dimensions! I'm impressed you figured it out in class!
LeiosOS :)
yeah. you right. i found about that video in youtube.
so the 4d conecting agin with 4d and became 5d and so on.
@1998SIMOMEGA appreciated. You're right
IDK that profile pic is everywhere, what is it from?
is this like trying to see a cube as a 2d render on a 1d screen?
Something like that, yeah!
That actually made more sense than the video.
very true.....
next time try to explain 2d on a 1d plain, that would be interesting to see cuz i did not understood anything what you said.
i wondering how's the 1D screen look like.....
Pretty much
i think i understood, the reason why tesseracts look like there is a cube inside and morphing in size and a cube can explain it.
if you take an image of a cube rotating, you can see it forms a square between the cube lines.
i think it's the same here
beautifully terrifying, like life in general.
I thought it was quite cool too! =)
