Steps to hyperspace

0

• A Point – (0D) No dimension

1

• A Line 1D – Move a Point (0D) - Length

2• A Plane – Square (2D) – Rotate a Line (1D)

around a Point (0D) by 90° Length and Width

3• A Space - Cube (3D) – Rotate a Plane (2D)

around a Line (1D) by 90° Length, Width, Height

4• A HyperSpace - HyperCube (4D) –

Rotate a Cube/Space (3D) around a Plane (2D) by 90°

Unfolding a Cube and Hypercube

• A Square “unfolds” to be 4 lines, a Cube “unfolds” to be 6 squares, a Hypercube unfolds to be 8 cubes. (and a hyper-hyper cube unfolds into 10 hypercubes)

• For a fun literaryread “And He Builta Crooked House”by Robert Heinlein
