Four Dimension Animation

This kind of looks like an evolving octopus, and there is even a formula for creating this design on the You Tube notes. I think it is a great animation of four dimensions.

Or maybe not -- opinions?

I used to run across these things all the time when I was programming. Some of the formula are so, so simple to produce phenomenal shapes.

Read chapter 5 of "A Wrinkle in Time" and you'll get a pretty good description of what 4D is and how, if you use the fifth dimension, you can travel great distances quickly using a tesseract (or let the sunshine in, whichever you prefer) 😉
