We experience the world in three spatial dimensions, but superstring theorists and mathematicians commonly work with many more. In this interactive, explore the mathematical meaning of extra dimensions as you create your own four-dimensional object, or hypercube.

Launch Interactive See for yourself why it's a walk in the park to dream up extra dimensions, at least for mathematicians.
