Summary
The tesseract is one of the favorite 'analogies' used by relativists to 'explain' space-time. Unlike space-time, however, a
tesseract is alleged to have a fourth spatial dimension. Therefore, the mathematicians conclude that a tesseract is a
geometric figure. In contrast, the fourth 'dimension' of space-time is time. This temporal dimension makes space-time
qualitatively different than a tesseract. We are not supposed to understand geometric figures. We are simply supposed
to visualize them when the prosecutor points.
One problem is that relativistic expert Hawking testifies that time is no different than length, width, and height, or than
longitude, latitude, and altitude. Indeed, the idiots of relativity routinely replace the dimension of height with the seemingly
equivalent 'dimension' of time in their space-time diagrams. If, instead, temporal and spatial dimensions are not
interchangeable, relativists can perhaps get away with arguing that the 4-'spatial'-D tesseract is a physical object, but they
cannot extrapolate the analogy to space-time.
It turns out that the tesseract is not even a geometric figure. The fourth leg of this alleged object is another mathematical
'temporal dimension'. The mathematicians are not pointing to a standalone physical object. They are explaining how the
sculptor chiseled a statue, or how a hypothetical object crossed our 3-D 'space.' A tesseract is a movie of an expanding
cube.
But this is not the amusing part of this ludicrous analogy. The hilarious part starts when the idiot of Mathematics begins
to rotate his beloved hypercube. That's when you realize that the alleged scholar who is giving the presentation is really
a patient who broke out of the Funny Farm of Mathematics last night.

| Yes, you dummy! If the architect said it's got four dimensions, it's got four dimensions. Can't you see? It's got length, width, height, and... and... and we'd better hurry up or the Pharaoh will be pissed if we don't finish his pyramid this week! And bring that stupid cubic brick with you. We need it to support the north corner. |
