The tesseract is one of the six convex regular 4-polytopes.Ī generalization of the cube to dimensions greater than three is called a “hypercube”, “n-cube” or “measure polytope”. Just as the surface of the cube consists of 6 square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of 8 cubical cells.
In geometry, the tesseract, also called an 8-cell or regular octachoron or cubic prism, is the four-dimensional analog of the cube the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square.
Now because I’m “not” a physics major, I felt best to rely on the wikipedia explanation of the “tesserac” Quantum physics majors would most likely embrace this scenario, but in simple form the foundation is that of a tesseract. This versions tweaks gravity and is based around the idea of a 4th dimension. This version has rooms that appear and disappear almost instantaneous. This newly redesigned version is an advancement technology from the last, which simply ran on mathematical calculations. While one would assume that we are in for another 90 minutes of the same from the last film, they are only partially correct. The cubes in “Cube 2” are all lit bright white. They changed lighting in each with a mix of red, blue, green, and such to differentiate. The first had rooms that offered high tech booby traps if one wasn’t cautious in entering. When we left off at the last film, we learned that the cube environment was the master mind of some dark unknown corporation for reasons also unknown. And before you call it out as just a cool sounding sequel name, there is a purpose to its title. This 2nd entry would be known as “Cube 2: Hypercube”.
I can’t say there won’t be more, but from viewing each of them I know that they all combine into giving us more answers about this crazy science fiction (and sometimes horror) franchise. The Cube franchise would stack up to 3 films in total, this being the 2nd of the trilogy. If this concept sounds familiar then you probably remember the debut film “ Cube (1997)“. Eight strangers awaken with no memory and find themselves in a puzzling cube shaped room where the laws of physics do not always apply.Ĩ strangers end up in a square cube with doorways on all 6 sides.
