oh I always have to correct this one: a Euclidean plane can be obtained as a result of a projection of a set of circles on a sphere.

and thus there is a mapping that makes a surface look 'flat'. Basically any map used in navigation is in an example.

2D= 3x3 grid, 3D= 3 3x3 grids, and 4D= 3 sets of 3 3x3 grids (which is 9 grids), so it’s technically only 4D.

3^2 = 2d. 9x9 = 3^4 = 4d. 9x3^4 = 3^6 = 6d.

Time is *kind of* a fourth d. - it's not quite the same as the regular three. This is describing an actual fourth d. equivalent to XYZ.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

People often describe time as the fourth dimension, but in this case this would be a real fourth dimension and time would then be the fifth.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

we cannot see time like we can in the other 3d's. We see/experience moments of it but cannot see time, is this better?

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So how does this let us "see" time?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A good example of 4D space is a traffic jam that still exists after the blockage is gone. It's a 3D space affected visibly by time.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

it doesn't. We'll never see time like we do the other 3d's. To do so, we would have to exist in 5d's. This is saying that our dimension 1/2
