Do you love 4D/higher dimensional geometry?

I really really do.

One of my side projects has been creating a 4D museum for vr. Our eyes see in 2D, but our brains have no problems vizualizing and understanding 3D. They are also capable of 4D: they just need to be trained.

With a 4D museum I hope to make it possible for more people to truely think of 4D shapes in 4D; verse just conceptually understanding them.




This thread is just for anything and everything about higher dimensions though. Are you interested?

hmm what is the fourth dimension?

Well the fourth spatial dimension is usually called w.

I did some light reading on the subject before you responded... I just don't really see it though still looks 3D to me in still images

I wasn't able to find it on android, looks like it is iOS only.

No... 4D space just folds into itself when you try to project it down.

Doesn't fold any worse than 3D space projected to 2D.

Oh yes it does.  I was gonna post in a picture of a 5D image but it was too large.

How many dimensions have we come up with so far and how many can we perceive?

Scientiffically like 12 I think?

Mathematically there are infinite. These spatial dimensions are what I'm really interested in.

Scientifically in theory, they are thinking 10 or 11.

I solve 5D rubik's cubes.

Your argument is invalid.
