Well, I think after those red and blue colored silly-looking glasses most of us got an idea what the 3rd dimension might be. And some of us could even imagine that with time combined this could be described as the 4th dimension. Anything beyond that was not imaginable at all. Now Rob Bryant comes along and tells us to think in 10 dimensions. And - as weird as it sounds in the end I really got an idea what that could be like. Not that it would be very useful in day-to-day life - but still - a very interesting thought experiment for sure. Rob also wrote a book called Imagining the 10th diemsnsion. I haven’t read it - but it might be worth a look.
