Yes I do and it disturbs me.
GameHunter115
That's not accurate. Remotely.
mritty
"Flatland" helped me understand the 4th dimension way better than this.

TIL keep adding corners in order to time travel
scabab
but those are all spatial dimensions...
ZeeNavi
The closest I've ever gotten to understanding greater dimensions was when I was on acid. Drugs are neat.
Donkeyhead
This is also fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs although it's not about spatial dimensions.

The lens flare makes it science

Maybe I go Interstellar wrong, but isn't the fourth dimension time?

Pretty sure these are all 2d
MrFnortner
Those are just scribbles. There are only three physical dimensions. The rest is make-believe.
InnerBushman
Each new dimension is perpendicular to the previous by 90°. Since we live as 3 spatial dimensions creatures, we can't comprehend how can 1/2
InnerBushman
2/2 another dimension be perpendicular to our 3 dimensions. Just like a 2D creature can not understand 3'rd dimension.

we must go deeper.....

I get that reference, Cooper.

Glad that I'm not alone, TARS.

Sweet lens flares bro
Legginsboson
But 4D and 5D are still part of 3D space...
KingBeardy
Only one way I'm gonna be able to figure this out

It's full of stars!

This is not higher dimensions its just overlapping lines

Average is 6"D

thanks, this makes it much clearer

I just think OP wants the d

OP wants th-- DAMMIT! Too slow!
DeathOfAStrawberry
At least 5 of them anyway.
SaintSebastian
I'll take the 5 D. Major homo please
LurkerOfDarkness
Well as a general homo I say I get first dibs on the D's.
SaintSebastian
Dammit, outhomoed for the D.
LurkerOfDarkness
I think there'll be enough privates for both of us.
cheeseguy3412
He wants 5 D's... ? While I applaud his optimism, I still think it would be difficult to walk.

elodin047
Maybe with VR we can rotate a 4d cube in 3d and unserstand it
terracottanubbins
No matter what you do those are still 3 dimensional shapes, the only difference is you've added structure to it's volume
frjackhackett
our brains were made to see in 3d so we can't see a shape with that many corners at right angles to each other but we can depict its shadow
Donkeyhead
Don't you mean 2 dimensional?
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
I think that would imply they intersect themselves, whereas they don't . They are just N-dimensional cubes.
RigoryMorty
It's actually complicated to visualize a 5-cube in 3D. https://youtu.be/lFvUaFuv5Uw
ButtsandBewbs
Try your imagination. It has no dimensions, and although it works best with 3, I still had no problem imagining a 4D cube
carp8dm
Isn't the 4th Dimension Time? And what the heck is the 5th Dimension?
Donkeyhead
This is talking about spatial dimensions. But here's a video about dimensions over 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs

No, Doc Brown got that one wrong...

The Twilight Zone.
frjackhackett
one history of universe is 4d, all the histories of one universe is 5d, all the histories of infinite universes is 6d
frjackhackett
that's how i get my head around it
Donkeyhead
This is about spatial dimensions, but here's a video about what you're talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs
frjackhackett
yea that kind of thing, i had in mind the explanation of time in slaughterhouse 5, it's easier to think of these things if i imagine how
frjackhackett
the other way, with all its possible histories, and so on
JapaneseStudentTadashii
Nope, still can't picture it. I only have one 3D brain.
PhysicsPhren
Try as one will, I don't think anyone can truly grasp 4d objects. A hypercube is probs the easiest to rotate in your head, but I don't 1/2
PhysicsPhren
think that simply rotating it means that we can fully picture it. Ex. If I say visualize the location of point (3,2,4,5) on a hypercube 2/3
PhysicsPhren
I'm unsure if anyone can just learn how to visualize that 3/3
JapaneseStudentTadashii
According to this futurama episode I saw one time, if we were to look at a 4D world from a 3D world we wouldn't be able to perceive it.
tapetkabinett
Nice source
JapaneseStudentTadashii
It's probably true. Sometimes they do real science lol
meatblast
Tesseract... And we can mathematically prove 9 dimensions. Still not convinced there is a point, but still...
Donkeyhead
Do you mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs ?
frjackhackett
in maths you can have as many dimensions as you want, can't you? or do you mean what was God thinking when it made all those dimensions?
meatblast
I recommend watching the buckaroo bonsai movie for research
frjackhackett
will do, looks like it should be an illuminating journey across the 8th dimension
cousteau
Of course there is a point! It's the one at the top left corner of the pic.
PhysicsPhren
Problems like varying densities of a 3d object are graphed in 4d. If you want to add varying resistance, varying etc. now you're at +5
funkjacket
nope, it doesn't prove a damn thing. it's an investigation into arbitrary spatial dimensions
SenOfFiveTails
Are you kidding me? What if you need a nine dimensional function? Those exist when you have enough variables. No idea how to graph it though
cousteau
I already have trouble with 2-variable ones.
Donkeyhead
Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs
perceptualmotion
what do you exactly mean by mathematically prove 9 dimensions?
Donkeyhead
Maybe he meant this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs
ComeJoinTheMurder
.
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
I think he means some sort of axiomatic treatment of physics. Mathematically, a "space" can have infinite dimensions (see Function Spaces).
perceptualmotion
yeah, that's why i am a bit confused. i suspect he is talking about string theory but we have no exprimental support for string theory.
perceptualmotion
*experimental
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
Possibly string theory, I stick with PDE and control, so I'm not well-versed enough in quantum field theory or mechanics to understand.
cousteau
If a space can have infinite dimensions, then it does have (at least) 9. BAM! Proven.
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
In a sense, yes, but what he's probably referring to is the possible number of dimensions given our physical laws. The spaces dealt with in
TheAnalystWasAlreadyTaken
functional analysis have a different requirement, so they don't coincide with physical dimension.
