I need to know everything I could about the fourth(SPATIAL) Dimension?

Question

In other words, what is a tesseract??

Who else has read the short story “—And He Built a Crooked House” by Robert A. Heinlein ??
(It is a very old book)

PLEASE!! Don't say time!! I know about time being the fourth dimension and all, I am talking about the next SPATIAL dimension.

Cool, Mozartrox811, I discovered a pattern like that too...
Think about the first dimension, a single line, defined by connecting two points with ONE LINE
The second dimension, two first-dimension lines connected by TWO LINES
The third, TWO two-dimensional (say,squares) connected by 4 lines

So, The fourth spatial dimension must have two of three dimensional (say cubes), joined together by 8 lines, right??

Answer 2

THIS IS YOUR ANSWER 10 POINTS PLEASE...
Let's talk "HyperCubes" this subject is all about the 4th Spatial Dimension you are asking about, ever herd of them, cool if you have , even more cool if you have not. OK Buckel up my friend and let's start this journey...

An introduction to the fourth dimension

Man has been fascinated about the possibility of there being more than three dimensions ever since he has understood the concept. Henry More (1614-1687) considered that spirits have four dimensions. H.G. Wells suggested that the fourth dimension is time in The Time Machine. This can be misleading in fact since time is somewhat different from the other three dimensions as we know them. Abbott's Flatland (1) is probably nearer the mark. He considers the life of a 2-dimensional square which suddenly has the chance to travel in three dimensions. This gives the square the ability to see inside objects in its 2-dimensional world, something it previously thought was impossible. Using this analogy from three to four dimensions, we would be able to see inside solid objects if we were able to break out of our own 3-dimensional world into the fourth dimension. Taking the analogy further, when a 3-dimensional object crosses a 2-dimensional world its inhabitants simply see an object appear from nowhere, grow in size, changing its shape in a rather odd manner if the object is irregular, and then decrease in size until it disappears again. In our world this would be the equivalent of an object suddenly appearing somewhere, growing in size, shrinking and then disappearing without trace. This may soung very disturbing but this is because we do not fully understand the fourth dimension.

as for time...
We live in a world of three dimensions. Well, we only perceive three dimensions. We can hypothesize many more dimensions. But, they are difficult to imagine.

Because of Einstein, we often call time the fourth dimension. Special relativity shows that time behaves surprisingly like the three spatial dimensions. The Lorenz equations show this. Length contracts as speed increases. Time expands as speed increases.

Scientists have been graphing time, as if it were a length, for hundreds of years. To the left is a typical graph, showing two things in motion at the same speed, one to the left and one to the right. Time never behaves exactly like a spatial dimension. You cannot go backward in time. And you normally cannot go forward at different rates. But, there are surprising parallels. For some purposes, it is handy to call time a fourth dimension. For other purposes, it is not.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pretend, for a moment, that there are more than three spatial dimensions. What is a four or five-dimensional cube like? It is hard to visualize. But, we can make a few deductions about such an object. What if a 5-dimensional cube is 2 centimeters on a side, what is its 5-dimensional volume? Well, we can easily generalize from the first three dimensions. A 2x2 square is 4 (2x2) square centimeters in area. A 2x2x2 cube is 8 (2x2x2) cubic centimeters in volume. A 2x2x2x2x2 5-dimensional cube is 32 centimeters-to-the-5th-power in 5-dimensional volume. None of that can be visualized. But, it makes sense. What is the distance between two points in 5-space? You can easily deduce a 5-dimensional Pythagorean Theorem.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Addendum:

I once read in a science fiction story that time is the fourth dimension, and space is the fifth. That's pretty poor; space is the first three dimensions, and there may be more spatial dimensions that we cannot observe or interact with. One would expect a science fiction author to get the simplest science right.

as for the other idiots that think you can't spell... they need to go back to school, I hope this has helped you.

Answer 3

ok basically we cannot se the next spatial dimension. there's is a pattern in all of the dimensions. every added dimension ends up being perpendicular to the previous dimension in some direction. perpendicular to a dot is a sequence of dots, a line [1 D] perpendicular to a line is a square [2D]. perpendicular to that is a cube [3D] and so one. the next is a 'hypercube'. look about it online. we cannot fully see the hypercube since we are drawing it on a 2D plane [paper or just on a page]

Answer 4

I remember a little kids bed time record from years ago. I don't think I've read the book you're referring to. However....

There was a crooked man
who walked a crooked mile
who found a crooked six pence
upon a crooked style (sic?)

He had a crooked cat
who chased a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a little crooked house

Thanks,
Buster

Answer 5

I know that humans are four dimensional, but don't know the exact definition for this. Believe it or not, I even heard of 11th dimension.

Answer 6

Now that's Spacial
