As I said before, I fully accept the concept of x, y, z and time (4 dimensions) as a physical reality.

Please read the post again. I was not talking of time as the 4th dimension. Time is not a physical dimension.
Four physical dimensions are x,y,z,h, where each is at right angles to the other. This isn't flatland fantasy, it's basic euclidian geometry. I gave you an example of the three dimensional effects of a fourth dimensional object. It is a legitimate example. I also gave you examples of how a 4th GEOMETRIC dimensional expansion would manifest in three dimensions. This is experimentally verifiable and is not a flight of fancy, or flat land fiction.
You are making a deliberate effort to not understand.
Euuuuu! I wouldn't want to be around for that "Big Bang!"
Did Azamov steal this?
And you have proved this, how?
LOL! I love that. I'll be quoting that one. Of course, it's absolutely true. I have a nice telescope, and I love to sit for hours trying to find different nebulae or star clusters. The difference between me and the astronomy elite, is that when I look at the heavens I see God. When they look at the heavens, they are still looking for theirs.
Then it should be a simple matter for me to locate a Tesseract in my local store. Obviously, this is a physical object and not a mathematical fiction.
Where do I find this Tesseract? Can I get one a the local Wall*Mart, or do I need to visit the nearest University?
Better yet, simple give the a website, and I will order one on-line.
This would be so cool to show my wife!
You can't steal "Flatland". It's a bit too well known. I read it in high school fourty years ago.
You are making a deliberate effort to not understand.
No sir, I am making a deliberate effort to call a spade a spade.
Provide an actual physical example, or simply admit that it is only a mathematical concept.
Here it is a=a+b <(•¿•)>
But that method fails with: 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000002 +10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000002.
Also, there is no physical example of numbers such as Sqrt(2) or Pi. Nor are there any isosceles triangles or right angles.
Not that I know of. Here is Azimov, writing a forward to a collection of two of Abbott's works ...
February 1994 : Paperback TopTitle: Flatland : The Classic Speculation On Life In Four Dimensions/Sphereland : A Continuing Speculation On An Expanding Universe/2 Books in 1 Volume (Everyday Handbook)

Really? Do you actually know any astronomers or are you just talking out of your hat?
Once again, can locate a physical item at my local Wall*Mart that is in compliance with this equation?
Are you going out of your way to support my questions? So far, you are doing an outstanding job and I appreciate the support.
It's been done. If you look farther back, you see the microwave radiation. Note that the "tiny area" is "now" the entire universe.
Do not be so harsh RA, I feel the same way each and every time I look though my telescope.
Yes, to me also, this is an expression of God!
That's actually a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional projection of a four-dimensional object.
When I look at the heavens, I wonder who stole the tent I was sleeping under.
Cool. One of my favorite quotes. I always repeat this to myself and others around me when I am humbled (like spelling humbled).
