Ever heard of the story about the two dimensional world? If you take the
two dimensional world and glue the edges, the 2-dimensional person will
eventually reach him/herself. The theory regarding the fourth dimensional
is that if we 3-dimensioners were stuck in a fourth-dimensional sphere, we
would see ourselves in front of us. When we stretch to reach that person
in front, our hands would be touching our own shoulders. In a hypersphere,
we can reach around the space until we reach ourselves. Some scientists
say that our universe is a hypersphere. Imagine that each increase in
dimension brings us closer to the Reality. Ultimately, it could be one big
infinitely hyper (hyper-hyper-hyper, etc.) sphere or circle. Oubreath,
inbreath, outbreath, inbreath.
