Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the introduction to this new series. Right now I have plans for 8 parts! Subscribe to be notified when the next part comes out. Next time we will be actually building and exploring a 4D object.

3rd dimension dude: I don’t know what you mean

4th dimension dude: wow it’s easy! All you have to do is መψሐፈ ሄφኖክ

[joshcalvert]

When you realize that 4th dimension beings are having this same conversation about the 5th dimension

[inersdraco]

Somewhere in 2D reality: “let’s see how pointlanders can understand our flat reality”

[fabi]

so you tellin me if i accidently do a 4 dimensional movement i will noclip

[KydroxHD]

You're gonna be huge... I just know it. Don't you dare get discouraged by the current views. This is amazing.

[tahaakif]

i just feel bad for those aliens who have to study 4D geometry

[fookermooker]

That circle is a witch.

BURN THE WITCH!

This is by far the best explanation of 4th dimension space I've ever seen. But still we cannot truly perceive how a 4th dimensional object would look like as this is beyond our reality of existence same as a 2D being cannot visualize the 'z' axis (height) as it's beyond their reality. They cannot conceptualize the idea of moving up and down.
It's so amazing how 2D shapes spectacularly changes by just adding 1 more dimension to it.
Square = Cube
Triangle = Pyramid
Circle = Sphere
Now just imagine by adding one more dimension to 3D (Brain not working Error 404).
We just can't imagine how a 3D object would change to a 4D perspective even if we try to come up with the idea of Tessaract (Hypercube) or whatever it is we are still seeing a projection of it but from 3D perspective. We just cannot visualize how the 4th axis works in motion. It's like explaining an object which is perfectly cube and perfectly sphere at the same time. For us it seems illogical but for a 4D being it may be possible.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is how I understand by not understanding the Great 4th Dimension.

Im a freshman in hs and this whole concept of a fourth dimension is just so damn interesting to me. I love how challenging it is to understand

[jaylarti]

there is an alternate 2d universe where this video is about the 3d dimension

[doneaccount]

Flatlanders:
To understand a 3 Dimensional object, we have to understand what's in 1 dimension.

[SomeOne-zmjg]

My take away from this:

Just the same as we must learn and empathize with the flat landers to have the tools to imagine the 4th dimension, empathy is the key to higher consciousness and wisdom, as we tend to get so caught up in our own realities that we disregard those other perspectives needed to truly see more

[azure]

imagine the 4th-dimensional people entering our world, and we are just seeing random shit appearing and disappearing out of nowhere because we can't see the whole thing

[Goldencontrails]

"Telling a flat lander to move up or down is meaningless. Because they have no concept of up or down"

Flat Earther Society: Now wait a minute

[ericstoverink]

Makes me wonder if a few of so-called ghost sightings are actually 3d shadows of 4d beings. That could make for some good sci-fi.

[maiaallman]

This is the best explanation of 4D space I have heard. Well done!

[soos]

Imagine you saw a ghost and it says: "bro move inward I can't see the TV"

[fetterkeks]

I honestly found it REALLY hard to figure out the shapes of those 3d objects at 7:42 haha. Am I the only one?
Also great job on this video, keep it up!

[satyman]

3D Beings: WOAH It's a floating sphere!!
4D Being: No you idiots it's a cross section of a hypersphere visible to you

Edit: I know I sound like a little child but thanks for the 1 *thousand* likes, I guess
