Notes On The 4th Spatial Dimension


Basic Concepts of the Fourth Spatial Dimension

This section is a quick summary of concepts that are almost a pre-requisite before you venture yourself into more advanced topics. Some of the things covered here will be discussed with more detail on future articles.
Note #1: If you're new to the 4th spatial dimension, I suggest watching Carl Sagan's video first for a quick introduction. Note #2: For easier understanding, the 2d world described in this particular topic is similar to the one in Carl Sagan's explanation (it has no height - it is similar, for example, to the world in a 2d console RPG). However, for future topics, I'll refer to the 2d world as a world where it's only possible to move up, down, forward and backwards (similar to a 2d platform game).
