We are said that the real world in which humans live is present in three dimensions or four dimensions. "Three-dimensional" is a relatively easy-to-understand concept for people who live while ...

Mathematicians, freed in their imaginations from physical constraints, can conjure up descriptions of objects in many more dimensions than that. Points in a plane can be described with pairs of ...

Exploration of the fourth dimension, well-known in literature and theoretical physics, became a realistic theme only a few years ago. This leap was made when the first object was printed using 4D ...

Last spring, mathematician Henry Segerman found a peculiar post on Facebook. It was by a programmer who had could not conjure mental images---a condition called aphantasia. Segerman immediately ...

Marc ten Bosch’s side project 4D Toys is a unique physics-based toy box using the game engine he created for Miegakure, a groundbreaking 4D puzzle-platformer. Launched on June 2nd for SteamVR and iOS, ...

Regardless of your existing knowledge of science, a fourth dimension of space is a very difficult concept to grasp. This isn’t the fourth dimension of time we’re talking about, but another spacing ...

When you are sent to do a bit of work experience in the office of a university science department you don’t normally expect much more than a bit of boring filing and some tedious photocopying. So ...

Yes, it is possible to create a three-dimensional image of a four-dimensional object: a hypercube is the four-dimensional analogue of a cube, and it has a well-known three-dimensional image that looks ...

Previous investigations of the neural code for complex object shape have focused on two-dimensional pattern representation. This may be the primary mode for object vision given its simplicity and ...

When we think creatively, produce novel ideas, or otherwise have “Eureka” moments, we may actually unlock access to a ...
