Personnel

gollark: For 4D *Euclidean* space the 2D/3D stuff mostly just generalizes fine, as far as I know.
gollark: There are theories of how they might work, but any useful ones involve ridiculously complex maths and not vague ideas of extra dimensions.
gollark: Also, I don't think that "the universe is the 3-dimensional surface of a 4-sphere" thing is actually... true?
