totally retarded. your made-up 'w' dimension is just extending along the x-z plane. our ability to percieve space is limited to three dimensions, thus it is impossible to express a four-dimensional object visually with a still picture. You can call time the fourth dimension. try reading up on wikipedia or something before we start talking spatial geometry, mmk?
Time is most certainly not the 4th dimension. That simply doesn't make sense. It only makes sense in a comforting fairy tale sort of way. The reason it's so hard to see the 4th dimension is both because we can only percieve 3D and because, furthermore, we're projecting 4D onto 3D and THEN projecting THAT 3D onto 2D. But it seems valid.
"Nice, but it's not 4D. 4D means there are four points from every vertex. There are only 3
points from every vertex in yours."
uh oh, did someone fail intro to math? 4D means 4 dimensional. being that the first three dimensions combined make volumetric shapes, the next place to go is time.
I...really shouldn't have expected anything more. Props for the tune, other than that, meh.
Oh god, SHUT UP, go get some basic math skills you IDIOTS. It's just a hypercube. you can keep doing it forever if you must. It's just the way he smears out the transparent lines at the end that make it look stupid. Go use flash with onion skinning: the 4th dimension CAN be time but not NECCESARILY. Go study 10-dimensional physics! M-THEORY.
1) Most people are stupid and don't realize that a spatially 4-D cube on a 2-D screen is no less valid than a 3-D cube on a 2-D screen, 2) I would take issue with some of the lines you erased; you erase lines in 3-D because obstruction by sides makes it so that you can't see other lines in "real life," but since in real life you don't see in 4-D, following that same rule would mean erasing all the lines except one 3-D cube. I'd keep all the lines in for a more obviously 4-D cube.
Nice, but in this sketch the "w" axis is not an entirely new dimension, but merely an collaboration of the x, y, and z axes. Of course, it's impossible to comprehend an object with four dimensions existing in 3-D space (at least to most humans), so I'd say you're far above the rest just for trying. Additionally, simulating a 4-D on the 2-D space of the computer screen is a hard feat to achieve :D (Though the computer screen only has a simulation of a 2-D plane... Ugh, nevermind, you win :P )
