I found this Matt Parker lecture provided some good tools for getting your head around the fact that extra dimensions really do let you go around things, not through: https://youtu.be/1wAaI_6b9JE?t=2299 https://youtu.be/1wAaI_6b9JE?t=2299

- ghusbands 9y agoI'll save people the effort and point out that the only relevant things (to the given questions) the entertaining video shows are a proper klein bottle and the nature of projection into 3D. In 4D, klein bottles don't self-intersect, just as mobius strips don't self-intersect. It does not cover the question of putting oneself inside a wall or how to go around 4d objects, and the projections show detail that a 4d person would not see.
