4th dimesional tesseracts

[Anonymous No.1789887]

ok /sci/, i took it upon myself to learn about the 4th dimension and tesseracts, could any of you please help explain these?

4th dimension? what?

[Anonymous No.1789907]

A tesseract is a four dimensional cube wherein the fourth dimension is a spatial one rather than time. What's not to get?

which way is that rotating? sorry, i cant tell

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1789909]

>>1789905
lol rotating, that is so 20th centry

square : cube :: cube :: tesseract
It is ridiculous to try to display 4d objects accurately on a 2d screen. These graphics are entertaining but that's not what a tesseract looks like - it's impossible to visualize one and they are best handled with pure mathematics.

understanding the concept isnt hard, just trying to perceive it when we live in a 3dimensional world
>>1789909 then what is it doing? it appears to be going within itself

[Anonymous No.1789955]

>>1789925
well said, perceiving one, is practically impossible, or is it?

>>1789926 thanks i will check it out shortly

I've never studied tesseracts but I guess one has 16 corners.. but how many edges/lines does it have?

>hey /sci/ I just got out of my linear algebra class and want to look smart

[Anonymous No.1789970]

>>1789957
i want to say 32 edges

[Anonymous No.1789988]

>>1789971
We do in a sense, but space/time/gravity is the 4th, not exactly a coordinate most of us can understand.

this.

this explains everything, in a really nice approach.

[Anonymous No.1790022]

>>1790000
yea its definitely worth watching if you are into this

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1790032]

>>1789970
Ahh I just worked it out, there are 2 cubes existing acrosss the 4 dimensions, with each corner projecting to another corner on the other cube. The answer all along was in OP's pic rofl... so 32 is right thanks

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1790039]

>>1789970
Now I understand why they use that cube within a cude to represent a tesseract!

[Anonymous No.1790044]

>>1790032
it appears to be an accurate 3 dimensional model on a 2 dimensional screen, but then what about this >>1789894
??

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1790049]

>>1790044
I think it's just some fancy art that makes you "think" that I got from 4chan somewhere... Didn't know it was a tesseract...

[Anonymous No.1790053]

OP watch this video.. Please.

If you smoke weed, burn a bowl for Carl before watching. Do it for Carl, man.

its a tesseract gif, u can find this one almost anywhere
>>1790053
will do, worth the trip

[Anonymous No.1790101]

so is there an easy way to visually perceive a tesseract?

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1790126]

>>1790101
Smoke a bit of pot and you'll be about to perceive anything. Easily.

So what is a 5th dimension cube called? I guess it has 32 corners and 80 edges...

[Anonymous No.1790141]

>>1790126
lets understand the 4th shall we?
but if really want to know, as teh dimensions increase, it gets mindfucking, so heres a pic

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1790193]

>>1790141
and the 7th dimension with 128 corners and 448 edges? *crossing fingers for a picture*

[Anonymous No.1790211]

>looking at higher dimensions on a 2d plane

[None !/RpTEuXdxQ No.1790261]

>>1790141
I revised the picture and it seems to be incorrect..
Each corner should have exactly as many edges from it as the dimensions it occupies, for example each corner of a cube has 3 edges, as it is 3 dimensional.
You can see from the high lights in the picture provided that the yellow corner has 4 red edges that end at it, thus these edges are for this corner only. It then requires a 5th edge, which it must take from one half of the green edge, but in doing this the other half of the green edge then ends at this corner, and thus that edge belongs to this corner, giving this corner 6 edges.

Some reason I understood this straight off.. Its just like seeing more to me.

Imagine a 4D sphere with infinite spheres in it, each having infinite circles.

[Anonymous No.1790319]

just a question to those who understand this...is a tesseract 4 cubes? (much like a square is 4 lines)? or 6 (6 squares in a cube) or more?
(by cubes i mean 3D edges)

[Anonymous No.1790329]

>>1790319

a tesseract is a cube in which each side is a cube. the OP's picture is its shadow on our 3d world

[Anonymous No.1790334]

>>1790329

>a tesseract is a 4d cube in which each face is a 3d cube

fixed

[Anonymous No.1790346]

>>1790334

so it has 6 faces (you said cube)? i assume there would be more just cuz square = 4, cube =6 (tesseract=8?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-WyreE9ZkI&feature=related

this is what i've been looking at...and it looks like 6

[Anonymous No.1790370]

>>1790346

yes, it has 8 cubes, my mistake

[Anonymous No.1790376]

>>1790319
>>1790334
>>1790346
so how many cubes per tesseract?

[Anonymous No.1790481]

8 cubes per tesseract, also btw, http://www.dimensions-math.org/Dim_reg_AM.htm this is worth the watch

[Anonymous No.1790597]

bump for interest?
