Bek Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hello, everyone! Can you explain me what can we measure in 4 dimensional space? If, in 2d - Area, 3d - volume.... Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sato Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I think this might be a good reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bignose Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 higher than 3-D, they tend to just apply the prefix 'hyper-' in front of the analogs. E.g. 'Hyper-volume', 'hyper-surface', 'hyper-sphere'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 As Bignose says, "hyper" is used a lot. Just "volume" is also often used in higher dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orundellico Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) As an example (and an inspiration), please find below the link to my 3D- and my 4D-version of the - normally 2D - game "Tic Tac Toe". http://kanitrino.de/.../sonstiges.html Edited April 22, 2012 by Orundellico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If we take the fourth dimension to be time, it's just a simple measure of Space-Time. Intuitively, we can say that how long does an object with volume V exist, and while in existance, how much space it takes up on average. If you want to get a more intuitive feel of the 4th dimension, and possibly higher ones, try Googling "Imagining the 10th Dimension". Not a completely scientific way, but it has merits to it. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
