Your brain is a computer. If a computer can manipulate 4D hypersphere, so can you.
You can't visualize it, but that's a different thing. You can't visualize a 3D sphere either, only 2D projection.
- rebuilder 10y agoI'm not sure I agree you can't visualize a 3d object. You can't draw one, I'll give you that, but we spend all our time in 3d space. Saying the brain's representation of that is 2D seems dubious.
- Eerie 10y agoNot the brain, the eye's representation is 2D. The brain's can be 3D, despite the brain not receiving any 3D input, so I don't see why the brain can't represent 4D as well.
