question can anyone answer??

[hypercuby28]

i dont get why if u were to try and imagine what 4th dimensional sapce would look like, how come if a 4d object passed through our 3d world it would seem to go from small to big to small to entirely gone can someone help???

that's what you would see if a 4-dimensional hypersphere passed through 3d-space. For other shapes, different things happen.

there's not much more i can say except to point you to one of my pages:

http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/page1.htm

read up on that.

now i get the concept of trying to visualize this, but why is it that fred sees it getting bigger and then smaller again???

[alkaline]

it's the size of the successive cross-sections of a sphere: at the top of a sphere it is small, at the "equator" it's the biggest, then at the bottom it's small again. Take a ball and lower it slowly into a tub of water. The ring where the surface of the water meets the ball is the circle that fred sees. Watch it start small, get bigger, then shrink again as you lower it.

If we are to assume ourselves as a 3 dimensional universe, then we can see that in order for us to exist, the 2 dimensional infinite planes that are within each objects must make a 2D universe possible to exist within a 3D universe whether the two recognize each other or not. This would make us possible to have a 4th dimension.
There could be 2 possiblities for a 2D, or lesser world.

1) That the 2D is just the incorporated part of our 3D and possibly higher selves., or
2) That there are also 2D people like us within or outside our 3D world, beside our 2D incorporations.
