Ok, we both know this isn’t a real 4D Cube (also known as Hypercube). Never the less, this animation really blew me when I first glazed my eyes on it. If you are interested more in mathematics behind 4D spaces, be sure to read my previous article on “Lord Of Net” website. In the meantime, click here to see the animation hosted on yourfilehost.com - Enjoy!

    oooooohh!! i always wondered what made hypercubes special!

  10. rae

    maybe I’m missing something…(yes I did see the animated version), but couldn’t this object be made in RL with some sort of stretchy/gummy material?

  11. Rachael

    That’s almost hypnotizing. Aren’t those called tesseracts?(don’t know how it’s spelled)

  12. Kim

    I dont see the animation, what is it supposed to do?

  13. Kim

    nevermind :p, cool stuff

    It is not possible to visualize a 4D object with 3D imaging no matter how fancy the animation. The visual concepts are beyond the abilities of the human brain. All we can visualize is the shadow of a hypercube presented as a 3D object just as a square is a 2D representation of a cube.

    it is however a very pretty animation

    If you’re interested in the fourth dimension, might I recommend “And He Built a Crooked House” by Robert A. Heinlein. Very cool short story if you’re geeky like me

  16. alana

    if u see the animation, it almost puts you to sleep. not of boredom, just cuz its relaxing and hypnotizing

  17. me

    what does this cube represent? 4D. BUT can it be applied to anything? this doesnt explain 4D because it’s only a cube. but my question is: can anything be in 4D? or does it only have to be a cube? and isnt 4D time?

  21. Cool

    Each edge of the cube is the same length, you cant reallly tell but if you think about it they would have to be, the cube inside is smaller because the cube could not only move up, down, left, right, in and out it can also move to seem smaller or bigger (shrink or expand). And to answer your question no it doesnt have to be a cube, yes 4D is time and this is basicly an example of 4D it is not what 4D IS but just an animation made to aid you in understanding it.

    Thats my opinion, pretty good stuff.

  22. loser

    just a box..inside a box…kinda boring..*stares* *not interested*

    The picture did nothing. I clicked on “animation” and found an advertise window. Is this why we were asked to click on -animation- link? Please find other ways to advertise.

    Yes, this cube IS really called a tessaract, and yes, it IS really four dimensional. Look it UP!
    And don’t click on the picture, click on the link. Pay attention!

    Alothough, no, I’m pretty sure it’s not actually a real illusion.

  41. Schunki

    it IS a 4d Hypercube… there are also 5D, 6D … and so on

    well if it is an advertisement then it is a great way to do it.

  43. chris flucture

    its amazing,ihave never seen this ever before

  44. Nigel

    Why can’t people read The Time Machine by H.G. Wells? The fourth dimension is time, all objects are in the fourth dimension. Time, duration, call it what you will, have you ever seen a cube in only 3d? An instantaneous cube?
