What would be the fifth dimensional property of a Tesseract?

I'm sorry. I can see the mathematics behind it, but I just can't buy that anything in this universe could physically be only one dimension, let alone two dimensions. I mean we live in a world that depends on 3-D...


BTW, anyone have any feedback on my +3 dimensional "visualization" idea?

Right now you have 3 dimension note that they are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum; are you prepared to accept that each force has its own spectrum?

I don't know!
I'll just be quiet now.
...wait. Maybe I understand this. By that do you mean that we perceive 3-dimensions because of light?

The only reason we see 3-d is that we have two eyes, but if we had one wew would only see 2-d. Better yet, if we had three eyes we would probably see 4-d.

But even if we had one eye, we could deduce through observation that a "2-d" object that we perceive to be as such, has length, width, and depth.

yes, that is where we get string theory.
