4-D box...

Ideas about how a world with more than three spatial dimensions would work - what laws of physics would be needed, how things would be built, how people would do things and so on.

4-D box...

OK, here's one, which is something I need for a possible story...

What if you were trapped in what you think is a 3-D box, and it suddenly starts to go 4-D with you inside, rotating in the 4-D axes, then restores itself bact to "normal" 3-D, from which you can finally get out of the box?

Or, if you want it put this way, what would it be like inside a 4-D box- What would it look like?

if what you mean is.. you're in a 4D box and the box spins on its axis, but then the opening falls into the 3D direction in which then you can crawl out?

if you were in a 4D box, you would see what would seem like a 3D box, but you would be able to hit a 4D (invisivle to you) wall. so it would just be like you're in a box with extra walls which you cant see. and you cant run into the extra walls unless a 4D external force(not 3D) purposely made you .
