The fourth dimension simply explained

ABSTRACT THERE are few fallacies which have done more to mislead the unscientific public than the misconception known as _the fourth_ dimension. The use of this term is calculated to convey

the false impressions, first, that hypergeometry is limited to space of four dimensions instead of being extended to space of _n_ dimensions where _n_ is any positive integer; second, that

even not going beyond tour dimensions, there is one particular coordinate called the fourth dimension which stands out from the rest, and alone is worth considering. _The Fourth Dimension
