Isn't the 4th dimension time?

thats not a fucking hypercube its just a cube inside of a cube.
a hypercube has like 664 vertices's or some crap like that. this is a hypercube
hypercube= 4-d square

I always thought a hypercube was like a cube within a cube, with all vertices on one cube connected to the corresponding vertex on the other cube by lines, and all lins that composed two cubes have the same length.

Trying to grasp the shape of a hypercube on a two-dimensional screen is like trying to see a cube on a one-dimensional line.

That's just a donut shaped object.

I always imagined a hyper cube as a regular 3D cube that moves as time passes.

A hypercube would probably become visible as a 3-D cube as it intersects with 3-dimensional space, and it would only seem to change as time passed, yes?

So, theoretically, we could be surrounded by hypercubes (or, rather, their projections into 3D space) and be none the wiser?
>> Anonymous
Sure. Theoretically, we could be hyperdimensional objects ourselves, and probably be none the wiser.

lol @ 4D objects depicted in 2D!

Lol at 3d objects depicted in 2d. oh wait. that's every fucking thing you'll ever see. A 3d projection over a 2d surface, your retina. Nothing stupid about 4d projections in 2d, problem with them is while you at any given point in 3d space can face in a direction described by longitude and latitude, you will in 4d space also have yet another direction vector to factor of equal length as the other ones to factor in. ie: in 3d you've got squared direction choices, in 4d, you've got cubic direction choices, meaning that ordinary human navigation sense is knocked senseless quite quickly, if you were bored you could probably learn spatial 4d navigation. You'll not have very much use of it til some game manufacturer decides it would be fun to release a game with 4 spatial dimensions though.

I see. Try depicting a 3D object in 1D world then.

There is only one dimension. The universe is nothing but bits of information interacting and changing one another. Dimensions are illusions, constructs of our mind to better understand the interaction of macrocosmic information structures.

You can basically recreate the OP's image with a sock. Cut the toes off, roll both ends to each other, and sew them together. Ta-Da, you made a sock-donut! It can double as a penis warmer.

this entire thing has given me more respect for the great people of /gif/ and 4-chan as a whole. also, for conceptual knowledge try taking a look at flatland, it describes how a 2d world comes to attempt to perceive a 3d object http://www.math.brown.edu/~banchoff/gc/Flatland/
>> Anymouse
umm.... hasn't anybody bothered to look this up?

just as a 2d square is made from 4 1d lines, and a 3d cube is made from 6 2d squares, each of a hypercube's "sides" is a 3d cube.

even though a line can exist in 1d space, a square requires 2d space. even though squares are 2d, a cube need 3d space. likewise, even though cubes are 3d, a hypercube is a 4 dimensional object.

just like a 3d cube can be projected onto a 2d object (a jpg), a hypercube can be projected onto a 3d object... except we can't post real 3d objects here, so we have to downsample it even more to a 2d one.

but yes, the OP gif is in fact a hypercube being projected onto a 3d object and is animated by rotating the A axis (I think. in addition to X Y and Z they have A B and C too).
>> Anymouse
I forgot a big part:

in a square, all of the angles remain 90 degrees, which would not be possible in 1d space. in a cube all the angles are 90 degrees, which would not be possible in 2d space. likewise, in a hypercube all the angles are STILL 90 degrees, even though this isn't possible in 3d space.
