Making sense of a four dimensional tree

 Yesterday I introduced you to hyper genetic fractals but even as I hit the “publish” button, I knew that the images were not convincing. So after a pow-wow with John of Superstitious Naked Ape fame, I’ve created a four dimensional tree. It looks more like an aquarium plant but I’m not fuzzed. Hopefully John isn’t either.

Hyper fractals for fourth dimension geeks

This is not a coming out; I’ve been known to go on about fourth dimensions and other weird stuff like non-integer dimensions. I am otherwise relatively normal but when it comes to dimensions, I am an incurable geek.

Fourth dimension for skeptics

Gotta share this. I did a mind bending experiment the other day. I was playing around with the shadow tree sculpture and came with the odd idea to replace the white LED at its center by a green and a red led.

Farfetched facts or fancy fiction?

In my last post I boldly claimed to take you by the hand for a stroll in the fourth dimension.  Judging by the high number of views, but not so many likes, I suspect that a healthy degree of skepticism has won the day. And that is how it should be.
