If we knew how to create world simulation, and how to make it working 4D, then humans would be able to plug themselves in, and experience 4D space. Alternatively there could simulated 4D beings, whose sentience could be transferred to robot body in our real 3D space.
We would have to experience 4D to emulate it.
We already experience 4D; our fourth dimension is time.
According to some physics theories, we’re living in a world with at least 11 dimensions.
But we can only sense and understand 3.
There are some 4d experimental games. One is a space flight Sim that allows players to move in a fourth dimension, entering and exiting physical space in a semi physics-compatible way. It’s really fun and it tends to break your brain a little.
*A fourth dimension can be time.
Time is a very convenient choice for a fourth dimension, but “fourth” is purely namesake. There’s no reason we couldn’t describe our world in our three familiar spatial coordinates with an additional coordinate for temperature, for example. We just don’t easily conceptualize it that way because it feels less contiguous according to how we currently frame our model of reality.
Disclaimer: my sources include internet research and far too much time to think. I’m absolutely open to discussion and new ideas in whatever form.
Edit: Temperature is kind of a bad example at face value, but good conceptually. Hopefully I’m communicating my point at least we’ll enough to be comprehended.
Yep and there already is a game that does it. It called 4D Golf and you ca n play it also I’m VR. On the YouTube channel codeparade are a lot of interesting dev logs.
Can you just imagine how insufferable 4d tech bros would be? Yeah I’ll pass
What exactly are you defining the 4th dimension as…?
Another space dimension, which has same relation to our three X Y Z dimensions, as third dimension Z relation to X Y.
