A hypercube is a mathematical object in more than three dimensions.

Similar to the cube in that each two-dimensional surface of

the object is a square. It is a generalisation of a cube in more

than three dimensions.

 
A single point can be considered as a zero dimensional
cube, two points joined by a line are a one
dimensional cube, four points arranged in a square are
 a two dimensional cube and eight points or nodes are an ordinary
 three dimensional cube.  Continuing this geometric
 progression, the first hypercube has 16 nodes and is a
 four dimensional shape (as above and
 bearing in mind we cannot actually “see” in four dimensions)

“Automatic Camera situated 7 miles from blast with 10 foot lens. Shutter speed equaled 1/1000,000,000 of-a-second exposure.” Early instances of an atomic explosion.

The photos are by Harold Edgerton aka “Papa Flash” who is famed for using Stroboscopic photography to photograph discrete instances of the everyday - balloons bursting, divers diving into pools, milk drops. These photos were taken using another of Edgerton’s inventions, the Rapatronic camera - capable of taking photographs with exposure times of 10 nanoseconds and are far from everday occurences. 

A tree ablaze with fireflies in Indonesia blinks on and off as each insect adjusts its flashes to match the others. Such self-organized behavior resembles the synchronised firing of heart muscle cells or the rhythmic applause of a crowd.

It’s an option.
