could anyone explain to me how a tesseract works as far as travel is concerned? are there any articles, theories, or better yet, any formulas associated with this concept? i'd love to hear them.

A tesseract is a four-dimensional geometric shape, also known as a hypercube. It is the four-dimensional equivalent of a cube, just as a cube is the three-dimensional equivalent of a square.
The concept of a tesseract being used for travel is based on the theory of higher dimensions and the possibility of traveling through them. In this theory, a tesseract is used as a portal to travel through the fourth dimension, allowing for faster and more efficient travel through space and time.
There are several theories surrounding the mechanics of a tesseract for travel. Some suggest that it allows for shortcuts through space-time, while others propose that it creates a wormhole or folds space to create a bridge between two points. However, these are purely theoretical and have not been proven.
Yes, there are several equations and formulas related to tesseracts, including the Schläfli symbol, which represents the number of sides and dimensions of a tesseract, and the tesseract projection formula, which maps a tesseract onto a two-dimensional plane for visualization purposes.
While the concept of a tesseract is widely accepted in mathematics and theoretical physics, there is currently no concrete evidence for its existence in the real world. However, some scientists believe that it may be possible to observe or create a tesseract in a controlled environment in the future.
