        You cannot pass through objects in 4d, just like in 3d. What you can do however is sidestep an object through the fourth dimension so to a 3d being you would appear to have passed through the object while in reality you just walked around.

        I think there will be no physical signifance of 4d or other higher dimensional figures the other changes other then length,breadth and height changes will be in very small dimensions that will be invisible..to our naked eyes...

        Isn't 4th dimension time? In 1 second it's in one place, in 2 seconds it would be in another place. Someone who could see in 4D would see the cube in all past and future 3D positions. We, in the *right now*, only see one slice, one moment at a time. :D ... yes??

        Let's say we're looking at a star whose light is just getting here from 5 billion years ago. That star is nowhere near where it was 5 billion years ago. So are we seeing it in its current location or where it was 5 billion years ago?

        You see where the photons came from. The star might not even exist anymore.
