Abstract: Abstract The romance Flatland by Edwin Abbott is about life in a two-dimensional world. Its inhabitants, the flatlanders, can only imagine a three-dimensional universe. Here we describe a four-dimensional place; that is, a portion of a four-dimensional space enclosed by a hypercube. Although we cannot physically enter a four-dimensional place, we can imagine it. There is no magic portal from one world to another of higher dimension.
