In geometry, the tesseract is the 4-dimensional analog of the cube. That is, the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. More formally, the tesseract can be described as a regular convex 4-polytope with eight cubical cells.

Generalizations of the cube to dimensions greater than three are called hypercubes or measure polytopes. This article focuses on the 4D hypercube, the tesseract.

it came from strange cosmos.com.
i think it was junior who turned me on to the site.
pretty good site a little of everything, and no porn to wade through

impossible... move the left most asterisk to the other side of the H (between L and H)
real simple program but it can help you understand the hypercube

You get these as screen-savers in Linux

A true 4 dimensional object cannot be visually comprehended, so I wonder what that thing is? A 3 dimensional projection of the hypercube? If I understand it correctly, 4 dimensional math is the basis behind relativity. Time and relative 3 dimensional motion are related 4 dimensionally.
