The Fourth Dimension:
Keyword(s):
The idea of a fourth dimension seems to have about the same kind of fascination for the lay mind as the famous old problems of duplication of the cube, trisection of the angle, and quadrature of the circle had. Certain things which would follow if we could live in four dimensional space seem quite remarkable to one who has not given the subject enough thought to realize that the actual existence of such space would make it possible to draw four mutually perpendicular lines through a given point, whereas in three dimensional space we can draw only three. These apparent absurdities of four dimensional space appear absurd only when we try to make them conform to our three dimensional experience.
