Answer 1

How do you imagine an n dimensional space?

That’s the neat part, you don’t. You imagine a three dimesional space and work with that knowing what properties are the same for the n dimensional space.

If you know how to drive a red card, you know how to drive an octarine car, even though no one can imagine the octarine color.
