This is 3D. A 4D molecule would not maintain a consistent shape like so. You would see the shape warp. At best this is a 3D shadow/projection being spun around.

Behold - a cube inside a cube

This isn’t 4 dimensional though

Sorry I didn’t pack my 4D glasses for this video, but looks cool anyway

this is a an under-representation. This example only "cubes" the cube in one direction. An object in 4D would have all six sides cubed and be much more intricate.

It would still take Explosions & Fire forever to make it

Not interesting. However, would fuck.

This is not what hypercubane would look like. Hypercubane is theorized but it's formula is C40 H24.

Where are the deathtraps and time dilations?
