I love four dimensional objects. I need to see an in person version sometime.

How is it four dimensional? I only see two dimensions.

It's a model of a tesseract (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube), a 4-dimensional object.

Really? It looks like a perfectly reasonable 3D object - albeit one made of rubber.

You know how perspective can make a cube on your monitor, allowing you to see a 3d object on a 2d screen?

This *animation* is a 4-d object "modeled" as a moving 3-d object and displayed on a 2D screen.

If you could actually see it in 4 dimensions, it wouldn't be moving, and all the sides would have the same length.

I'm waiting for Koosh to make a rubber model as a desktoy!
