2-D. 3-D. 4-D Circle. Sphere. Glome Square. Cube. Tesseract
A tesseract can be constructed in 2 simple ways: 8 cubes folded together, in the same way a cube is made with 6 squares folded together. Many cubes put in a line along the 4th dimension, like a cube is made up of many squares stacked into eachother. A constructed tesseract cannot be built in our 3D universe.
A 4 dimensional object is called a Tesseract or "hybercube"Although if you want to get into string-theory and related advanced subject matters, the Tesseract is not a 4 dimensional object at all, but simply an advanced 3 dimensional object which only represents the 4th dimension; a visual aide if you will.
I have recently been reading a novel, called A Wrinkle In Time. In a part of this book, they mention a tesseract. "Oh and by the way, a tesseract is real." (Quoted from the novel). Me and my class were discussing about what the word tesseract was. So that's when I decided to look it up here, and I infer that a tesseract is real because of the novel I am reading. You can see pictures off a tesseract in other websites like Google, or Yahoo.
In the brain
A tesseract
A tesseract is basically a wrinkle in time. (aka the 5th dimension) You can read up on this in a book called "A Wrinkle In Time".
A tesseract is used in the book A Wrinkle In Time to transport the children to find their kidnapped father who was brought to another dimension.
Yes because I am just making or at least trying to! It is very hard because it is a four dimension equivalent of a cube! This is a little more complex than just a yes or no. If you look at it with a mathematical view, yes a tesseract is very real. But will we ever see one? No. It only exists in theory. It is cube that exists on a hyperplane or in other words the fourth dimension. Its kind of like a cube inside of a cube.Were we have the three dimensions we all know an love plus a complete new dimension! Still not sure what a tesseract of hypercude is? Take a piece of paper and a pen. Draw a line on it. This is one dimension. Lets call it length. Now we add a new dimension called width. We can draw a square. So we have two dimensions now but we haven't got a cube. Lets add another and we can add depth to the picture. You drawing will look like a cube. See how many extra lines one needs to add just one extra dimension! For a tesseract you have too add another dimension.

A tesseract is a four-dimensional object, therefore it is impossible to fully portray in three dimensions. However, there are several methods for limited portrayals of tesseracts: a three-dimensional shadow can be shown (just like a 'normal' shadow is 2D of a 3D object); a two-dimension or three-dimension projection can be constructed with the fourth dimension shown at 45° angles to the Z-dimension (in this way two parallel cubes are drawn with each similar vertex connected by a line); or the fourth dimension can be assumed to be time, and an animation of three-dimension projection altering as it rotates around itself.
The Tesseract - novel - was created in 1998.
The Fifth Dimension is basically a tesseract. It is the squaring of the fourth dimension. Okay, so tesseracting would be a way to get across to another place faster and quicker than the original route, for example an ant on a piece of paper. Now, if we folded that piece of paper in the middle, we would get a quicker way to get the ant across from one way to another, right? That concept is called a tesseract, a bending in time.
The Tesseract - novel - has 226 pages.
A 4 dimensional object is called a Tesseract or "hybercube"Although if you want to get into string-theory and related advanced subject matters, the Tesseract is not a 4 dimensional object at all, but simply an advanced 3 dimensional object which only represents the 4th dimension; a visual aide if you will.
A tesseract is just a shape, like a cube or square, only in 4 dimensions
