Yesterday i saw the movie cube 2. Though it was a crap movie with bad acting and poor graphics the concept behind it intrigued me. Wanted to learn more about a hypercube I googled the internet and found some fascinating information about it.
Definition :
In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3). It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, at right angles to each other and of the same length.
Actually, that was the answer I got from wikipedia. And yes, I cannot make head or tail of it (being a math genius and all). So I continued my search in you tube and then bingo !

Though it was very well explained, I still had problems in visualizing a 4d object. So, i continued my search and landed in this site

Sigh! I badly wanted to be a math genius
