I searched for educational fims from the 70s to parody the differences between graphic advancements but I was surprised at the quality I found.

You know, mathematically, there are an infinity of dimensions. The simplest mathematical representation of this would be x raised to the nth power. Beyond x raised to the 3rd power, however, all that is achieved is an increase in the volume of the object. You can use the most complicated forms of mathematics but they all come down to nothing more than complicated, perhaps beautiful and awesome, 3-dimensional shapes. I could use the mathematical expression X x Y x Z x T x U x V and say the result is a 6-dimensional object. But it isn't, it is still 3-dimensional.
