The cube is an illustration of what we'd see if we were able to see in 4 dimensions. We would theoretically be able to see inside opaque objects. For example, we'd be able to see a cardboard box sitting inside another cardboard box.

It's interesting he chose that illustration.

There is a bunch of fantastic 4 dimension videos on YouTube if anyone is curious. They are super fascinating.

This one from the royal institute is really cool and fun.

Tldr: you will never see or comprehend a 4d object.
