Michael Liu - Einstein

Checking back in with Professor Azaroff, I was given a research grocery list:

The effects of Time on the young and the elderly
The 4th dimension
The 5th dimension
M.C. Escher
Albert Einstein

It may be just me, but I couldn't find much concrete info on these dimensions on the internet. So counter intuitively, I ransacked the science section at the local bookstore and sat on the floor for hours reading and skimming through all my relevant selections.

The best resources were Steven Hawking's A Brief History of Time as well as his A Briefer History of Time. He speaks about Newton, Einstein, and all the other big names of scientific community. He explains the concepts of the 4th dimension and why it is hard for most to understand.

Here are some diagrams I made to explain 4th dimensional physics:

 
I also made some diagrams that explain why it is hard for us to understand a higher dimension:
