I heard somewhere that if you were to have people in different universes, which had a set of different dimensions, ranging from 5d to 1d, you would end up with the following.
5d can see and comprehend 4d easily and draw it and all that shyte, 4d comprehend 3d, 3d-2d, 2d-1d....
Think about it for a bit. It makes sense.
But it also reverses. 1d can't see 2d, or comprehent or model it. 2d can't see 3d, and so on.
Also, try to draw in 1d. It's impossible, because your pen always has a width.
I need to go to class now. More on this later!

It makes sense, the math works and all that but it's not as intuitive as plain old 3d - I beleive we don't have the capacity to truly comprehend 4d, all we do is take a leap of faith and use analogies
