	Fourth dimension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fourth dimension is therefore the direction in space that is right angles to these three observable directions.
		A useful application of dimensional analogy in visualizing the fourth dimension is in projection.

		Dimension (from Latin "measured out") is, in essence, the number of degrees of freedom available for movement in a space.
		Time is frequently referred to as the "fourth dimension"; time is not the fourth dimension of space, but rather of spacetime.
		The Krull dimension of a commutative ring is defined to be the maximal length of a strictly increasing chain of prime ideals in the ring.

	Guggenheim Collection - Concept - Fourth Dimension
		The fourth dimension was a highly popular concept in the early 20th century and figured in the theoretical underpinnings of nearly every Modern art movement.
		The statement by the Cubist painter and theorist Albert Gleizes quoted here brings together the two major characteristics of the fourth dimension in early Modern art theory: its primary, geometric orientation as a higher spatial dimension, as well as its metaphorical association with infinity and resultant function as a new code name for the sublime.
		The fourth dimension could thus serve as a rationale for Cubist artists to reject such three-dimensionally oriented techniques as one-point perspective and the traditional modeling of figures.

	Hinton's "Fourth Dimension"
		He did not try to build a comprehensive mathematical model of the fourth dimension even though he described the possible physical attributes that could be expected from a four-dimensional perspective.
		The conception of a third dimension of space would be as foreign to him as that of a fourth dimension is to us.
		It is in the examination of questions such as these that the physical inquiry as to the existence of the fourth dimension consists in asking, namely, whether the types of action which occur can be explained on the principles of three-dimensional mechanics, or whether they demand for their explanation the assumption of a four-dimensional motion.

	Fourth dimension atomic theory
		This modification occurs within the fourth dimension as the atom is constantly being accelerated, as it is forced to change its physical direction from the spiral galaxy and orbital acceleration velocity vectors.
		Because the Dovada research team works with a fourth dimension atomic model, many of the physical constants, similar to the Fine Structure Constant, are now very easily defined from first principles directly from the atoms spiral galaxy and orbital acceleration vectors and the reason for their very existence is now fully documented and understood.
		To comprehend the fourth dimension is quite easy if you look at it from this simple perspective, the first three dimensions are width, length and height, these are effectively instantaneous values, but when measured within the SI system measurements are related to a time period (one second).

		Similarly, a hyperbeing who lived in the fourth dimension would have a cross-section in our space that looked liked a bunch of skin blobs.
		In higher dimensions, the fraction of volume near the surface of a baglike form increases dramatically compared to 3-D forms.
		Heat dissipation and movement of nutrients and oxygen (most of the blood vessels uniformly distributed through the bag will be close to the surface too) may be strongly affected by the proximity of the volume to surface.

		Precisely speaking, the fourth dimension is for well developed habits and needs no more thought at the moment of activity than riding a bicycle.
		The fourth level was intended as the one in which we turned those skills into habits.

	Article: Spirits, Art, and the Fourth Dimension, by Bryan Clair
		Mathematically, "dimension" refers to the number of coordinates needed to describe a point, or equivalently the degrees of freedom of motion in a space.
		The next step is to drag the cube in a fourth direction, perpendicular to all edges of the cube, resulting in a tesseract or "hypercube." The last step, as usual, is difficult to imagine because it requires the fourth dimension.
		The fourth dimension in this crucifixion is the cubical "cross." We know from grade school that a flat paper cross can be folded into a cube, so we should be able to fold a three-dimensional collection of cubes into a tesseract.

	Signifying Nothing: The Fourth Dimension in Modernist Art and Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Answering the question "what is the fourth dimension?" is not a simple task, and the only salient way to begin is to study the representations of its as attempted by math, art, and ultimately literature.
		Once a broader continuum of representation is established, the fourth dimension is revealed for what the Square ultimately figures it as: an exercise in signification as artists and writers try to represent something which is beyond their palette of images or words, something both physically and theoretically invisible.
		As such, the fourth dimension can be traced through its mathematical origins to its visual representations by Muybridge, Picasso, and Duchamp to the fiction of William Faulkner, who in As I Lay Dying unveils a comprehensive definition of the fourth dimension as a self-reflective metaphor for memory.

	The Fourth Dimension and the Emergence of Transperspectival Thought
		Until now the attempts with the fourth dimension have all been inadequate and are comparable to those made with the third dimension during the one-hundred-fifty years between Petrarch and Leonardo da Vinci.
		This means that the new dimension is not simply another spatial dimension, at right-angles or, more correctly, orthogonal to the previous three but should act as an integrator of the previous levels and thus render time “transparent,” all the way down to its base-- Ever-Present Origin.
		This disappearance is what Gebser means when he says the fourth dimension is required to render the others “transparent right down to the original and pre-conscious pre-temporality.” The fourth dimension is consciousness of time-freedom, which also implies space-freedom, and this is none other than a conscious form of our archaic original pre-temporality, our Ever-Present Origin.

	PCDI - The Fourth Dimension
		So if we were to consider a fourth dimension (x,y,z,t), it would have to be a new perpendicular direction in addition to the three directions we have free movement in.
		Notice that the zero dimension is represented by a point, 1 dimensions is represented by a line, and 2 dimensions is represented by a square.
		For instance, in 3 dimensions, the volume of a sphere is 4/3(pi)r^3, however the hypervolume of a 4 dimensional hypersphere is determined by 1/2(pi^2)r^4.

		Using the fourth dimension, Einstein was able to simplify his equations for gravity and formulate his theory of general relativity.
		Through all these revolutions presented with the use of the fourth dimension, one may be at a loss as to understand exactly what it is. And it would be most beneficial if an explanation were provided.

	The Fourth Dimension
		In higher dimensions, the third number then indicates how many polyhedra meet at their edges to build the four-dimensional equivalent of a polyhedron, a polychoron.
		It consists of a tetrahedron, plus the point in the center of that tetrahedron, displaced in the direction of the fourth dimension, and four other tetrahedra which join each face of the first tetrahedron to that point.
		Folding the twelve dodecahedra into the fourth dimension enough to make them touch produces a shallow curve, which leads to a fourth-dimensional solid with 120 dodecahedra as its faces.

	Introduction to the fourth dimension
		While giving someone a definition of the fourth dimension is relatively easy, giving someone an intuitive understanding of the fourth dimension can be quite difficult.
		A definition of the fourth dimension could go like this: The fourth dimension is all space that one can get to by travelling in a direction perpendicular to three-dimensional space.
		In order to give you a better understanding the fourth dimension, I will begin with a method that follows a sequence of n-hypercubes that starts with the zeroth dimension and progresses up to the fourth dimension.

	The Fourth Dimension, C. H. Hinton, 1904
		If now I bring in a fourth quality, such as weight, and try to find a means of representing it as I did the other three qualities, I find a difficulty.
		Passing to four dimensions and our space, we can conceive that all things and movements in our world are the reading off of a permanent reality by a space of consciousness.
		Since one-fourth of each of these four belongs to the square, the four together count as one point, and the point value of the square is two points--the one inside and the four at the corner make two points belonging to it exclusively.
