  • Tesseract is a word you've probably heard at one point or another in your life. But what is a tesseract, really? Marvel popularized the tesseract with their movie Endgame, but their depiction of a tesseract didn't really match up with reality. A tesseract has a very specific mathematical definition and doesn't really look like anyway you've ever seen one portrayed...

    I first looked into this in 2009 and was fascinated. There are of course two other 3D shapes that can be a 3D “shadow” of a 4D object. One is the Klein bottle. One that I like more is the Rhombic Dodecahedron. There is a video that states it is also the Sixth Platonic Solid (in 4D). I’m still trying to find out more about this such as when and where this was discovered. I wrote a short story in 2011 that included the cubic tesseract but I rotated it to appear like a spider web. I enjoyed your presentation very much. 👍

    I was skeptical of quality when I saw the view count but this video was solid.
    Begs the question: Who are you?

      Thank you!
      I’m just a guy with a passion for making science videos

    the way 3 and 4 dimensional shapes are formed is super interesting

    Great explanation, and I learned how to draw something new. However, my inferior little brain cannot comprehend the totality of this...I wonder what it would be like to physically interact with the 4th dimension while perceiving the other 3? Ugggghhh, it's too early for this!! More COFFEE!!!

      That’s a great question! Would be very interesting to see if someone has/can build a simulation like that

    Show the 2 dimension in a color and the 3 dimension in another color in the 4 dimensions tesseract

    Clearly proof the earth is flat. Why do we have all these scientists at Nasa if they haven't even come to the conclusion the earth is flat because he just showed me a 4d thingy on a 2d screen #earth be flat
