I also think it looks like a rotating spiral. I can’t see the impossible part. I think it would actually be possible to make that thing in real glass and put it on a rotating disk. THAT would be cool!

To everyone saying this is just a rotating spiral, you’ve got to understand it’s absurd to try and precisely show four spatial dimensions in our three dimensions, let alone compress those dimensions into a TWO-dimensional screen. A cube, for example, might be understandable when drawn on a piece of paper, but go ahead and try to draw that same cube on a single line. In short, it’s about trying to convey the sense of four dimensions, trying to help us imagine it, not an accurate rendering of them.

The gif in itself is very nice, I agree with the nice screensaver idea, perhaps it would also look nice just as a wallpaper…

In this case, what he means is 4th, VECTOR dimension, so time isnt exactly applicable. I know Time is considered a vector in some sense, being part of space time, but a 4th dimension in this sense would mean if you have a line, and you drew a another line so it would be 90 degree to the other line. then now you have to draw another one 90 degree to both lines (draw one coming out toward you, and extended out behind the paper.) and now the fourth dimension, draw ANOTHER line that is 90 degrees to the other 3.

Hypercubes are absolutely amazing to think and ponder on. It really messes with your sense of reality

well i still really don’t understand 4th dimension but thats probably because if you’ve never seen something it’s hard to imagine it…but I love this I’d like this as a screen saver. I could probably stare at it all day…

Just to note, I used Irfanview to extract the frames of the animation, allowing me to view it in forward and reverse at any speed and examine it in detail.

I’m sure that it is a solid spinning object.
