Lots of people say that the cube has four-dimensional origin. But that is stupid because they base this theory around the fact that the cube has smaller cubes inside of it but that is not how four-dimensional objects work. A 4D Hypercube would look like a cube that may have more or less sides if it is rotated it the fourth dimension. Imagine you have a normal 3D cube going through a 2D universe, it would make sense that a 2D creature (if such a creature were possible) who could see all points inside the parts of the cube that are going through the 2D plane it would not see many squares, only a 2D cross-section of the cube, a square. So if you add an extra dimension to that situation it would make sense to think that a 4D Hypercube would look like a 3D cross-section of the 4D object, like in the 2D example it was a 2D cross-section of a 3D object.
