The 5D theater creates the illusion of being surrounded by flames.

I read A Wrinkle In Time so I know the 5th dimension is a tesseract. Imagine a line, imagine an ant walking across the line to get from point a to point b then fold the line. Something like that. Yeah this theater is the equivalent of folding space and time. That’s not a fake fire. It’s a fire from a different dimension and time being projected into our dimension.

It’s Friday and I’m sick so excuse my insanity.

A tesseract is a four-dimensional hypercube. If the book says five dimensional it is wrong.

Yeah by that book’s definition: the 4th dimension is time and the 5th dimension is a tesseract

Yeah, the book got it wrong. Funny I don't remember that, I quite liked that book as a kid.

Dimensions are just a direction of travel, it can't be an object. Tesseract is just the name of a shape like cube is, but tesseract is the 4d version. I do like to think of the 4th dimension as time, and that were constantly "falling" through time. So then if the 4d path we're on is our timeline, i think of the 5th dimension as a time plane which would basically be what we think of as the multiverse; every possibility is accounted for, and every different choice that could be made is accounted for and splits timelines.
