Shadows of reality : the fourth dimension in relativity, cubism, and modern thought

Shadows of reality : the fourth dimension in relativity, cubism, and modern thought / Tony Robbin.

In this insightful book, which is a revisionist mathematics history as well as a revisionist art history, Tony Robbin, well known for his innovative computer visualizations of hyperspace, investigates different models of the fourth dimension and how these are applied in art and physics. Robbin explo...
