Wander on down to the Downloads section and grab it, it's a freeware... thing. It makes real pretty pictures based on knots, with some kind of high-end math I'm not familiar with running the show. I'd recommend starting off in Demo B or Demo A, and pay attention to the text bar at the bottom for fun things to do with each design. You can rotate most designs with the mouse, too.

There's some neat shit on there. The Ashley knot is a mind blow.
Edit: The hyberbolic ones too.
I tried figuring this one out.....trying to interpret 4D objects is weird.... :wtf: DooOOOoooOOooddd
Edit: Ok....as far as I can determine, the "width" or "fatness" (for lack of a better term) is determined by what time it is; if time were the fourth dimention in question. I would like to know if anything else is going on that I should be aware of....
I've seen things like this before, like hypercubes and things, that go as high as like 7th demension. I'm not sure exactly, but I think it's like internal folding. Like, if your arm went straight back into you without breaking. But then again, they are really hard to understand, because humans don't see in four demensions.
Thats fo' sho'. But I still want to understand this a bit more somehow. Oh and where did you see a 7 dimentional hypercube? Someone parked one outside your house or something? :lol:Quote:

It was really nuts, if you got high and watched this shit though, I think you would understand the universe, and learn the meaning of life.
Wow...back when I had Geometry, we didnt have any internet. We couldnt even afford 3 dimentions. We did all our geometry in one dimention. It was harder. I got an A that year though. You whippersnapers and your inner-net
Me = too stupid for this site...
Heh...I cant get half this stuff too. I only hope that I can understand stuff like this one day.Quote:

It's way the hell beyond me, that's for sure. I just liked using the toy to make purty things. A little fiddling around with the menu options (all two billion of them) and I should be able to make something that looks rather purty indeed.
