New one (currently under development): cosmicog.github.io I was kinda okay with bad mobile support but not supporting .svg images is what made me switch. Even the previous post Algebraic Proof That Higher Dimensions Should Exist is incomplete. Check the new website for the comple version.

Algebraic Proof That Higher Dimensions Should Exist

This is a Clifford torus. In geometric topology, it is the simplest and most symmetric flat embedding of the Cartesian product of two circles \(\color{#6ab825}{S^1_a}\) and \(\color{#6ab825}{S^1_b}\) (in the same sense that the surface of a cylinder is "flat"). It is named after William Kingdon Clifford. A normal torus is basically a a tube shape that looks like a doughnut or an inner tube, created by revolving a circle in the \(\color{#6ab825}{3rd}\) dimension around a circle, which is why a torus is a "surface of revolution. Here๐Ÿ”—  is a link to a Desmos page that you can play with it. When you change the 3D properties (\(\color{#6ab825}{X}\), \(\color{#6ab825}{Y}\) and \(\color{#6ab825}{Z}\)), you can just see the doughnut rotating. But when you play with the \(\color{#6ab825}{4th}\) dimension (\(\color{#6ab825}{W}\)), your doughnut seems to lose its 3D form, meaning, you can't 'imagine' what's going on physically. However, Before playing...
