Will I ever "see" in 4 dimensions?

we do.

time is the forth dimension and we can see it (partly)
we "see" the now, "remember" the past and "expect" the future.

in order to see the whole thing, you'd have to see the 5th dimension partly, but you'd be able to see the whole 4th (all of time, from beginning to end)

over all..... no. I don't believe humans will be able to see the 4th d in its entirety. we simply aren't designed to do so. if we ever SAW it, it would be through the use of a machine and it would only emulate it.

why do you ask a question then thumb people down when they give you legitimate and true answers?

why bother asking if you just want to hear what you want to hear?

what a waste


this was the exact same answer carl sagan talked about.
but honestly time cannot be seen as a box extruded twice.
time is not a box. peroid
 
You cannot SEE the 4th dimension, as it is time.

But we all see in 4 dimension, as we all live in real-time
 
No. To humans the fourth dimension is incomprehensible, and we only see evidence of it when studying the universe. Space is somehow curved in another dimension, yet there is no way any of us will ever "see" it.

Imagine a two-dimensional world. People live in the flat world and they are only aware of their own flat landscape, and they can't see anything out of their dimension. Now imagine something 3-dimensional like an apple passing through their flat world. They will only be able to see a cross-section of that apple at any time, and they can't grasp the concept of the full apple, and never will be able to see the whole apple.

The apple is still there, and the people in flat land can see glimpses of it and they know it's there, yet they can't comprehend what the third dimension is...they only see shadows of it. Our concept of the fourth dimension is very similar---we know it's there, and we can see shadows of it, yet we can't see the true fourth dimension.
