LOL, naw Doug, wait till they see *my* attempt to ask a question! ;)
Don't 4D objects, when represented in 3D, look sort of like items with a
smaller version of the item inside itself? That's how this tesseract-cube
like thing I've seen before looks. I've heard that described as a 3D shadow
of the 4D object in 3D? The problem is that you need an extra dimension
that runs orthogonal (kinda like right angles) with the other 3, is it not?
Ow. The whole idea hurts my head, though. But I gotta ask, when did our
universe become a 4-space? (ie. can you explain how this was deduced?
Everywhere I look I see a 3-space.) Or are you using time as a
"dimensional" axis?
