Did anyone watch Horizon episode about Black Holes? On iPlayer here in the UK.
Very interesting, though can't say I understood all if it

There are ways of representing 4D shapes at the very least. The tesseract and if I remember right, the torus are both seen as 4D shapes. The torus is thought to be the shape of the universe and there is a 4D building in France somewhere shaped like a tesseract.
