What it Would Look Like if Higher Dimensional Beings Tried to Communicate with Us
It sucks when you’re told that you can’t do something. And I hate to be the guy that tells you that you can’t comprehend what higher dimensions look like.
We were all born and brought up in a reality contained within 3 spatial dimensions and 1 linear time dimension. It’s elementary for us to comprehend the dimensions below our own.
It’s best to imagine different dimensions through dots, lines, and shapes. An object in the zeroth- dimension contains only a single point. An object in the first-dimension contains a line bounded by two zero-dimensional points. An object in the second-dimension can contain a polygon bounded by one-dimensional lines, such as a square. An object in the third-dimension would then have its bounding sides containing two-dimensional faces, such as a cube.
Now, this is where things start becoming a little hard to comprehend. An object in the fourth-dimension would be bounded by three-dimensional sides. For example, a hypercube is a higher dimensional artifact with each one of its sides being a three-dimensional cube. This trend continues going up the dimension ladder all the way to the nth dimension.
I think I just dislocated my brain.
