So you had a fight with the law?
Did you win?

[NejinOniwa]

EVERYONE
GET ABOARD THE IRC TRAIN

[Ultimaninja]

Fine fine

[IanDanKilmaster]

Train, what train?

The IRC server is invalid... are you guys using a different server?

[NejinOniwa]

Invalid? How?

That seems weird.

[IanDanKilmaster]

irc.chat4all.org... doesn't work for me.  I pull up the page in my browser and it says the server hasn't been set up... something like that.  I tried using XChat instead of the java applet here (thinking it may have been a problem with my version of java) and I still can't connect.  Are you guys connecting fine?

[Alex S]

I connected fine, but there's no one there...

[IanDanKilmaster]

nvm guys, I can connect... apparently I had to change the settings on my firewall.  That should've been my first guess, but feh.  So I guess I'll catch you guys some other time...

[GTCD]

I can go as random as I want.

Oh yeah, Alex S, is that a 4D.. emm.. what do you call it?

Burgers can see the future.
The golden tentacles have your stockings.
Tonight the mice will cellphone!

It's a tesseract, the four dimensional analog of a cube. It is also a hypercube, although the term "hypercube" can be applied to anything from a 2D square to any n-dimensional object where all edges intersect at right angles and all edges are of equal length.

Yes, I know things like that...

[NejinOniwa]

How is that 4-dimensional? I can't see it being in multiple timespace instances simultanously >_>

[Alex S]

A tesseract is an object with four spacial dimensions. Time is a dimension, but it is not a spacial dimension. Also, n-dimensional includes only spacial dimensions, not time, probability, etc.

[GTCD]

Ok darn this shiz.

It haz become the 'smartass topic'.

[NejinOniwa]

Nevermind, Wikipedia gives me a shitload of bullshit about this stuff, so I won't even try asking.

Just remarking on the fact that however much you try screwing around with math, it seems quite unlikely to do this IRL, from my viewpoint.

Added after 33 seconds:

Then again, mathematicians are a bit loose-screwed as a bunch, so no matter -.-

Added after 3 minutes:

Or wait, you can do this quite simply IRL, it's just a matter of WILL IT BEND with some twists and turns, probably using hideous amounts of latex/rubber/something else. Gee, Latex=>the 4th spatial dimension? I should have known!

Added after 5 minutes:

Let's see here. Constructing a tesseract:
32 flexible rods to use as edges, non-magnetic
16 magnetic vertices, joining the edges
Powerful magnetic field
Funky programming on how to rotate the field
Make a cube inside a cube
Start spinning
GET ROTATING TESSERACT

PROFIT!
