is there such thing as a four dimension cube?if there is,what do you call it?

Answer 1

If you are in Mathematical world, then it is possible to have whatever number of dimension. For example: if you have a function that depends of 6 variables, then you are working in a space of 7 dimension... 6 variables and the result. That appears in our practical way of live. This function do not have a way to be represented as a drawing. But you may define it as a "cube", for extension. Cube3, cube4,cube5,cube6...

The problem is: when we, out of Mathematical world speak "cube" we understand just the cube3. And we want to see the cube4 as a similar drawing, but it does not exist for us.

For us? yes!

The problem is that our eyes structure permit only to see figures in 3 dimension - nor less neither more.


Conclusion: there is not a 4 dimension cube visible for our eyes.

Answer 2

1-D Just a simple point, goes nowhere.
2-D Plane geometry... Lines, planes, Squares, Triangles
3-D Solids... Like how the world appears to be to us humans. We see three dimensions, length, width, height.
4-D We cannot imagine this, so it'd be pretty hard to "see" a four dimension cube, you'd go crazy just looking at it. The fourth dimension is time. In solid geomety, a coordinate plane has three axis, x,y, and z. In 4 dimensions, there... obviously, are four. Kinda hard to stomach, right? Imagine it as a flowing river.. At any point in the river, you have a height up from the river bed, a length from the side, and a width from a point in the river, say the beginning. Now its moving.. so.. time plays a part. Its impossible for the human brain to imagine four dimensions, though it exists just as 3 does.

Four dimensional cube? google it mate, but i don't think that there'd be any special name for a cube that was affected by time.

Answer 4

Mathematicians call it a 4-cube. In n-dimensional space, it would be an n-cube. Popular science fiction calls the 4-cube a tesseract. This is not a term mathematicians use professionally.

If we represent 4 dimensional with coordinates x,y,z, and w, then a unit 4-cube would be the collection of (x,y,z,w) with
0<=x,y,z,w<=1.

Answer 5

In 3-dimensions, a cube can be defined as all the points (x, y, z)
where x, y, and z all lie between 0 and 1 (inclusive).

In 4-dimensions, you can take all the points (x,y,z,w) where x, y, z, and w all lie between 0 and 1, (inclusive).

This definition can be extended to n dimensions.

Answer 6

A four dimension cube

Answer 7

It's been hypothesized that the fourth dimension is time, thus when we sees cubes now, we actually see them in four dimentions, however that has not been proven. The fourth dimension can be anything like accessing different dimensions across time...

It technically doesn't exist.

Answer 8

mathematically no since a cube is by definition 3 dimensions

in the world of data warehousing though a cube is a multi-dimensional data structure and can be up to 128 dimensions

Answer 9

If you added a clock to the cube then you can have your four dimensions! LOL

Answer 10

I only have a "and I saw this film" answer, but in Cube 2 it was called a Hypercube, and the way they portrayed this in the film was interesting (I know it's not real by the way in case you think I'm some kind of tard) Watch the film.
