A line. Of course, 3 dimensional beings see a square when looking at the 2-dimensional image from a distance away on the z axis (3rd dimension)

Our world would look totally different if you looked in on it from a perspective along the 4th dimension.

Actually, that is 1d, 2d you would see a square as this:

everything starts with a point

i clicked on the video link, and... Nothing happened, :/

there is some sort of popup..not standart thou. so maybe ur comp is blocking it.
try with diferent browswer or youtube, maybe there is also this video.

click on the number spiral thing on the side to see it.

And as for the 2d perspective stuff...

In the 3rd dimension we can only see a 2D representation of the world around us.

In the 2nd we can only see a 1D representation of a 2D object.

You should check out the classic book Flatland by Edwin Abbot. It's an interesting little fantasy story about being two-dimensional and not being able to conceive of the third dimension.

@ arby, wtf? We have three dimensions. Up, down forward, backwards left, and right, that's 3 pairs, three dimensions, therefore we CAN detect 2d, and 1d objects, but our world is 3d, lol.
