A 5D Space-Time Animated Anaglyph

The extra (unseen) dimensions are "compactified".

For higher dimensions in physics try looking at the article on String Theory at Wikipedia for a start.

actually wouldn't we be in the fourth?

my friend had a link that discribed this theroy, but i can't find it, i think the is very interesting so ive been trying to find it. Do u know of any good links ?

Yes, that is true. The whole is elusive but it can be comprehended through mathematics.

There are at least 11 dimension the scientist know there must be. But Things living in lower Dimensions, like humans in the Third, cant get the Dimension that are higher than that, so you people cant know how it looks like, but you can theoreticly think about it how it MUST look like

According to Charles Hinton in The Fourth Dimension one can view a rotation as a time series. So for each point in time we could say there is a 4d tesseract but with a different orientation. 4 spacial dimensions plus 1 temporal dimension is a 5d space-time. Hinton actually considered the case where a time dimension was rotated together with a space dimension.

I understand the generation of the 4D tesseract in time-space. What I don't get is how rotating this along 3 axis generates a 5D structure. Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie on this.

i ment u cant relly make OR draw something that 4D

3d this 4d that 5d there and everywhere my gosh scientists complicate things to much

idiots please.... as anyone who has ever thought hard enough about this could tell you.. video is always a 2d "REPRESENTATION" of what exists in dimensions greater than the second.. for instance if you saw a cube rotating in this video you would recognize it as a cube even though it is only being projected in the two dimensions of the screen... what this video does, is just take the same projection or "shadow" concept and apply it to a 4d tesseract...ie we are looking at its 2d shadow

idiots, this is a 4th spacial dimension, it doesn't exist in our universe, so time is OUR 4th, but there can be a 4th SPACIAL dimension, with time being the 5th!

ur wrong a tesseract is acually 4d not 5d

technicly u cant draw 4d because 4d is time but u can draw 4d figures its hard to explain but u can draw what they look like without time like he did he drew this

> u cant really even make of draw something thats 4D

You need to take a basic linear algebra class...

That looks cool but its not 4d or 5d. Really if there is a fourth demension them name it. 1D = length 2D = Length and width. 3D = length width and hight and finally 4D = length witdth height and time. Demensions are things you can measure. time is one of them

u cant really even make of draw something thats 4D

When u move the copy of the 3th dimension cube to the 4th, why doest have the lines the same lenght?
Rebuilt it plz :)

i thought the fourth demension was time.

its 5d displayed in 3d because time counts as a d

very clear animated tutorial

...my brain hurts now.

the 3d is what the two colors are there for. with appropriate glasses we can talk of 3d indeed rendered with a 2d screen but I refered to the virtual 3d.

actually this is a 2d projection of a 4d object. I wish my monitor would display 3d, but only 2d for now.

The word tessera comes from the Greek word τεσσεραγονος which means "four sided" referring to a square. Tessera in English means a square tile. So the "four rays" could refer to the four sides of one of the faces which is why one might use tesseract when speaking about extensions of the cube to higher dimensions.

Thanks for the correction. Tesseract comes from the Greek phrase "τέσσερεις ακτίνες" which means "four rays" referring to 4d.
