Also, what I meant was light that moves along the 4D position. It's easy enough to describe something in an arbitrary amount of dimensions, as long as you ignore any change or movement along the unknown dimensions' axis.
For example: Lightbulb gives off light. This starting point shall be the centre for this study (therefor [0,0,0,0] position).
Your eye is at, lets say [0,10,20,0]. You see the lightbulb because the light went from the lightbulb to your eye. Now, if the light bounces off the wall [100,20,30,0], then to your eye, you see that as well, and know it's position.
But if the light beam somehow moves along the 4th axis to, say, [0,10,20,1], you would not see it whatsoever, as your eye isn't at that position, and unless the light reflects off of something to the 0 position on the 4th axis, you will never see it.
What we would need to see in the 4th dimension truely, is the ability to accept outside information from other positions along the 4th axis. To do this you require eyes in that position (meaning your eyes would have to be 4D hyperspheres), and a nervous system able to connect from the brain [5,10,20,0], to one of the parts of your hypersphere eye at say, [0,10,20,1].
Then you'd need a brain/conciousness that wouldn't instantly go insane from that sort of data input. |
