Take a line, length L. L^2 is a square, 2 dimensions. L^3 is a cube, 3 dimensions. L^4 is a tesseract or hypercube, 4 dimensions. They have a goofy computer 2-d model that rotates. Nothing to see here. To save you all the trouble of watching the incredibly slow-loading video, the explanation really wasn’t that in-depth or enlightening. Take a line, length L.

IIRC, the concept of a hypercube doesn't come up anywhere in the novels...which is something you'd expect when the word tesseract is thrown around.
