Saturday, October 9th The fourth dimension sounds eerie, mysterious and 10AM – 12PM
exciting; and it is. Untying knots, stealing gold bricks from RLM 4.102
On the UT Campus closed iron safes and unfolding hypercubes are all part of the journey. We are transported to this abstract domain by a powerful method of creating ideas, namely, thinking insightfully about the world that we know well. A deep understanding of the simple and familiar is the key to exploring the complex and mysterious, and the fourth dimension illustrates that principal magnificently.
