No. He shows how non euclidean (spherical) space translates to euclidean (flat) space. Description is bullshit.
There is the cool idea of showing how different dimensions, in our situation where fully visualizing a fourth dimension is fundamentally impossible, could potentially look. Like, yes this is obviously not going to show us a fourth dimension but looking at how a 2D plane can actually be a 3D space if you have the capacity to see it is kinda neat. It’s as close as most people are going to get to visualizing a fourth dimension.
You’re so focused on how this isn’t a literal representation of something fundamentally impossible to represent that you forgot to exercise your imagination even a little bit.
Seems to me like it’s demonstrating the projection of a complex three dimensional shape which produces a simple pattern on a two dimensional plane.
It’s worse. It’s the projection of a 3d shape onto a 2d shape, which is then captured on a different 2d shape to be displayed to us.
It also has a brief 4d dimension, sliced at the second the picture was taken.
Can I buy this chandelier?
This is like me laying naked on my back with an erection and saying the shadow cast by the sun is a complex timekeeping device.
If you can keep time for more than 4 hours, be sure to go to the doctor.
Found the 3d print file for those interested
Will it work on my 4d printer or will I have to project it down to 3d first?
Make sure it has enough time filament to load a snapshot from the past and still print in the present.
