Try to Wrap Your Brain Around This One

Just like us 3D people cast 2D shadows, just imagine this 3D object is a shadow of a 4D regular solid.



Yea, I know what your saying. "But sir, this is mearly a 2D representation of a 3D object, How do you suppose I imageine.. blah blah." OK, here's an animation of.. it

Yes, good luck with that one. While you are trying to visualize a spatial dimension that is impossible from our vantage point of the universe, I'm going to sit here and type this article.
"I also hope that all who view the sculpture will begin to grasp the sobering fact that everyone is vulnerable to something terrible happening to them and that we all must learn to live one day at a time, making the very best of what has been given to us. It would be great if everyone who views the Octacube walks away with the feeling that being kind to others is a good way to live."
