/r/FourthDimension
This is a subreddit for submitting ideas, theories, drawings, predictions, maths, and all other things related to the fourth SPATIAL dimension. Posts regarding spatial dimensions higher than the fourth (i.e 5th,6th,7th,etc.) are also accepted
if you are going to submit links to pictures of higher dimensions please make sure it isn't already on the subreddit, we don't need 500 pictures of the same tesseract
please be respectful to people who ask plausibly stupid questions even if it's obvious, if you give a hate filled reply to a question that can simply be answered your comment may be removed.

Are you a physics, space, or math nerd interested in discussions about higher spatial dimensions? Then please get in touch with me using the link below!
Apply to be the top mod here!
I created the sub in high school as a math nerd but never had the time or capacity to give it the moderation it deserved. Over the years, despite my lack of moderation, it has grown a bit and sees some buzz every couple months. Would love to hand it over to someone interested in actually giving it the TLC it deserves :)
UPDATE: Sorry for going dark, y'all! Gonna resume this processmid-Augustm
Do you think 4D beings look at us like "ew wtf is that?" or do you think they're more curious and wondering why we're missing a dimension? I guess to them we look like little paper people.
Vote up if u agree vote down if u disagree!
Ever since I was a small child, sporadically throughout my life I have had a reoccurring dream that consists of myself falling continuously through what looks to me the best I can describe as a tesseract, very mechanical like, almost metal looking pieces connecting throughout endlessly and I just continue to fall through this space for what seems like forever until I wake up. Someine pls help me understand because I am not knowledgeable on the matter enough to draw my own conclusions.
I was thinking about how we would go about visualizing the fourth dimension, when the idea struck me. A 2d character would still be able to observe a 3d object depending at what perspective the object is viewed. As the 3d object moves through space its shape would appear to change or completely disappear. Since we are 3d beings we know this object doesn't simply shape-shift or disappear its only through the perspective of the 2nd dimension that it seems to do so. Just as an MRI takes a 3d object, like our brain and converts it to 2d pictures by "slicing" the object. Perhaps we, like the 2d beings would observe the 4th dimensions in "slices." This could be why we perceive time as linear because we must move from slice to slice to observe it. Building on the knowledge that all time is singular, and particles are waves until they are observed. One could assume we would observe 4d objects in this same "slice" as a 2d being would observe a 3d object. This brings the questions, is it possible to view past or future slices? Would it be possible to change our perspective to observe a 4d object long enough to study it? Could we map out each slice to create a 4d object like we recreate with MRIs? I hope I was able to convey my idea in an understandable way.
I have heard of Ana and Kata, two new directions in 4D. Every 3D volume has width, height and depth, how about 4D volume?
I've seen some videos about quantum physics (I suppose) the knot theory, hyperbolical geometry, the shape of space, the fourth dimension... (this stuff)
Anyway, I end up watching a video of a guy making the "Fourth Dimension" on Minecraft. He tried to do that so many times, and every attempt has different from the previous. It made me think:
"Would the fourth dimension be different for each person?"
Once the fourth dimension it's not possible to be observed by us, we can only imagine what it would be like. And that's where the question comes in, because are we all going to have a way of imagining the fourth dimension, a different way, maybe with some similarities but never the same.
Personally, I think the 4th dimension applied would work like our notion of depth, height and width, but 100x weirder, obviously. If we take any polygon and turn it in the most diverse ways, we would see that it would stills the same, however the way we see it not. It is difficult to explain, but, for example, if we project the shadows of the polygon we turns, we would have shapes that would be impossible to be understood by those who only they see 2D, without having the notion that there is a 3D object and that it is this object who are doing this projection, and that it makes sense on a 3D Dimension, not being just an incongruous shape. For an observer in the 4th Dimension, our polygons must also be just a part, a shadow, of a much more complex polygon and impossible to be replicated in our 3D world.
That's my way to see the 4th dimension, and it's not correct because we NEVER will see the real the 4th dimension.
Well, that's the way that I see, which is yours? Probably it's different, Huh? That's the point, from every person who thinks about the 4th dimension sees that in a different way.
Finishing writing this post, I realized that this was a very bad question. For OBVIOUSLY THEY WILL IMAGINE THIS IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
This is a throwaway because I’m aware of how insane I sound. Please be gentle.
So I’ve died twice and I’ll tell you what I’ve experienced. It’s very hard to describe in 3-dimensional language so bear with me and understand that it’ll sound crazy but it’s true (at least, it’s my version of the reality, that I saw after death, each time). I could still conceptualize and somewhat measure time but I wasn’t fully separated from our dimension yet so that may be why. Time moves alot (this isn’t the right word but it’s the only one that I have) “faster” in the 4th dimension. What could be seconds on earth is hundreds of thousands of years there which also isn’t right but there are no other words for it.
I traveled through this sort of “tunnel” (Try to think of it as like a wormhole but it wasn’t actually a tunnel but like some sort of vessel I think or like some way to grant passage to the next dimension.) I traveled for a few hundred years. I saw my life of course and then I learned the language of the universe. I saw runes and sacred geometry symbols on the “walls” of the tunnel and over those few hundred years it felt like my capacity to understand the universe had greatly expanded.
I was completely at peace when I reached the “door”. Now, what I originally saw freaked me out because I couldn’t understand it so it changed to a big wooden door with a handle very quickly so that I could grasp what I was seeing. Idk if I willed it to change or something else did maybe or maybe the dimension itself adjusted to my level of understanding. Idk but it was a door and that I could grasp. I could still hear my baby’s cries for me throughout this as if I was still partially on earth. For context, I died on the table during two emergency C-sections twice and then they were able to bring me back each time. I am no longer allowed to have kids.
Those cries are what kept me from opening the door. I felt something gently inviting me but it wasn’t urgent and didn’t force me. I somehow knew that I had all the time in my universe to make a decision if I needed it. I “floated” there for hundreds of thousands years considering my options (it felt like a moment but there wasn’t any urgency and I somehow knew that it had been longer) considering my options then I opened the door but didn’t go through it. Something or someone in and “around” me (the more accurate description is that whatever it was was all of us and more yet none of us at the same time and it wasn’t necessarily a being and it wasn’t alive but it wasn’t unalive or dead either. It just didn’t exist in the same way that we exist. I didn’t know mortality and simply always has been and always will be. “It” isn’t a right descriptor either but it isn’t a they either so idk how to describe it in 3-dimensional terms sadly.) told me not to go through the door unless I was absolutely sure that I did not want to return to where I came from in the same way that I was existing before.
So….I sat there and looked through the door to decide and what I saw….holy fuck what I saw is indescribable. It was….I call it a tree but it wasn’t that but it reminds me kinda of the tree of life. Our trees are an extension of whatever tf this is but it was beautiful. It literally gives me a headache to picture it in my mind but I can remember it as if I’m still there. I wanted to go through that door so freaking badly but all I could think about was leaving my baby behind.
So, I just sat there, for hundreds of thousands of years. I learned everything I could just from peering through that door and there’s so much that we don’t know and couldn’t even begin to imagine or conceptualize.
Finally, I decided that I wasn’t ready, and whatever/whomever that was “told” me to come back when I was ready but they/it didn’t really speak or communicate. I just….knew what they/it wanted to say to me if that makes sense. Suddenly, I was back in my body and everything hurt and it was like I was born again. It really threw me off to be thrust back into a mortal existence and a body of flesh.
I feel like one of those bagged tents, where you unpack them, but can’t get them back in the bag just right, so you just shove it all in the bag and hope that it stays in and doesn’t break. For a few weeks after each time I kept having out of body experiences and was just….”stuck” between the two dimensions I think. My dreams were of that dimension and I met the pale faced man both when I was dead (he was in another form) and I still chat with him in my dreams sometimes. He’s always going on about wanting me to take some sort of “key” and I have this sinking feeling that there’s no turning back once I take it and he’s tried to explain what it’s for but I can’t grasp it unless I actually take the key so idk if I ever will take it in this lifetime. But those weren’t the only weird things that happened after I came back.
I felt these….”vibrations” off of everything and everyone. Everything and everyone was suddenly alive in a way that I didn’t know they could be. I could feel what plants and animals were feeling and needing. I could feel the intense emotions of others. I could feel when someone else had been to or was close to going to the 4th dimension. This went on for months the first time and I honestly feel it even more strongly this time. Idk if it’ll fade like it did the last time but I kind of don’t want it to. Do you know what it’s like to put your bare feet in the dirt and feel the earth breathing beneath you? Do you know what it’s like to truly speak to a tree? Would you ever give that up after gaining that ability? I honestly think that we all have that ability but actively choose not to unlock it. I think that the concept of it scares us without even realizing it.
Most of all, I feel that dimension calling me everyday and I want to go to it so bad and learn everything. I want to hold on to what I call “The Knowing”. I WANT to take the key and I WANT to go through that door. Also I don’t think that the key is to that door because I would’ve understood that. It’s something else. But anyways, I want it all but I also don’t want to give up my mortality yet. It’s a special gift that a select few get to experience. I want to see my children grow up and I want to feel what it’s like to be old. I want to see where the world will go from this lense if that makes sense. It’s such a complex feeling to describe. It’s as if I have one foot in each place. Please tell me that someone else has experienced this. I feel so alone in this. No one can understand and I sound crazy everytime I try to explain what I’ve experienced. I just need to know that….I’m not alone in this. I need to know that other people have experienced this too and I want to try to make sense of it or, at least, relate on a human level.
3x+1.
3x=1 for
3d+3d=4d
two moments of time where
5d=3d+(3d+3d)=3d+4d.
this means its recurrent or refolds of 3d.
we use moments of stability to draw lines of spheres, or particles, to see their timescale.

Would like to know if this is understandable and makes sense. We as humans are 4th dimensional beings, plugged into physical reality (3rd dimension). Our reality is composed of vibrations and atoms. Which are the foundation of "reality".
We, and everything in the world, and what we can see are actually inside of the 4th dimension, however we cannot "see" the 4th dimension, because we are plugged inside of the 3rd dimension, into brains, hooked up to eyes, and other "psychical" senses which create our perception of reality, and is the definition of "life". In other words, we are souls, or spirits, or energy, hooked up onto physical vessels, called bodies, to navigate this physical world.
This means we are in fact, in a simulated reality. (theres nothing in between atoms) The idea of death is not hard to grasp. To be dead, means for the bodily processes to be shut down 100%. Which would mean for the cells to cease function. No Oxygen circulating to keep the cells of flesh alive throughout the body. At that point, the body can no longer sustain "life". Let me rephrase that, the body can no longer sustain "you". When the brain is shut down, from lack of oxygen, or destroyed. we are simply popped into the 4th dimension immediately. In the blink of an eye.
A dead body, is nothing more than a shell, which is a mix of your mother and father's DNA, and is the same with them, going all the way back to the first humans. That body, given to you by your parents, held "you" inside. A dead body is like an empty bottle. There was once something inside, but after it being drinked, it became empty, just a shell now. Nothing to do with it now but dispose of it. So as is the same with Funerals, where human shells ("dead" bodies) go into the ground, respectfully disposed of, so that people have appreciation of your "life" that was once lived. That "something" was a "soul" which is what we know as a "person".
This is what "death" is. We are unhooked from the physical body, unhooked from all senses, and in a separate energy form "soul" which has always existed in both the 3rd dimension as a soul, and the 4th dimension, simultaneously. We just couldn't "see" it because we were hooked up onto the brain and eyes + other senses. Make sense now?
The 4th dimension is on the other side of Oxygen. Let me explain. This reality is composed of atoms, which is what everything is made of. Atoms are composed of "quarks". Which are the true foundation of this physical reality. In between those quarks is how you access the 4th dimension. You have to travel through "Nothing" science calls it "Anti-matter" In other words you have to shrink so tiny, that you basically disappear from reality by going in between atoms and quarks which make up atoms and the 3rd dimension, until you are popped into the 4th dimension, in reverse of how you exited the 3rd dimension. So In real time this would look like someone being sucked into a black hole the size of a dust particle really quick. from any point in the room. And then being pulled into the 4th dimension from that same dust spec, instantaneously. That is, if you are traveling in a third dimensional body fully intact. This could also just look like disappearing in the blink of an eye, if every single atom in you shrinks to in between Oxygen's atoms as well. Make sense?
If this doesn't make sense. Imagine cutting a hole in a one way mirror, and entering that hole from the reflective side, then covering up the hole. Now you can see the person, but they cannot see you. This is how 4th Dimensional being see us. Except from every angle possible. So basically in this situation, each atom in existence, is like a one way mirror for 4th dimensional beings to look onto us from.
Going back to my statement "The 4th dimension is on the other side of Oxygen". If I made myself clear. That would mean that 4th dimensional beings. on the other side of Oxygen particles could literally be standing (existing) right in front of you, yet do to third dimensional things called eyes, we would not be able to "see" them. Makes sense?
I believe this is why the Pineal gland is so important, because it allows us to connect to the 4th dimension through our 3rd dimension bodies, and feel the energy and communicate with 4th dimensional beings. So basically the "third eye" literally means the eye that can see the 4th dimension, and acts as an antennae so that we as humans, in 3rd dimension bodies, can receive information from the 4th dimension.
