Tune into the fourth dimension

The human story emphasizes that truth has more facets than we usually realize. Hypercube: the geometry of truthunveiled through allegory and animation, movement and music, color and meditation, shows that our future survival depends on pure intellect tempered by empathyWe live in the information age. It is coming at us from all directions, all-encompassing and unstoppable, and is the accumulation and result of the sum total of human experience and effort. It’s exciting and disorienting, often at the same time. Yet the human mind has always sought truth, seeking it in many ways and expressing it in many ways since the dawn of history. But we are limited by our own perceptual abilities.

The patterns of the ages—the archives of human ambition and enterprise—exist around us as prescient, silent witnesses. Who or what can analyze and explain their geometry? The human mind can, but to do so it needs to be aware of and open to the fourth dimension that runs parallel to our 3D world, always offering perspective and choice. Its possibilities are embodied in the Tesseract, a theoretical 4D hypercube that exists only in the abstract.Also read: Interstellar, Einstein, and the strange elasticity of timeAs a chronicler, times of india Creates an unparalleled archive of the human story of the past 187 years. Its headlines, articles and photographs bear witness to and document countless explorations. Today, The Times of India takes the human story to the next level with its conceptualization of Cosmic Cube: The Geometry of Truth at the National Theater in Mumbai, revealing the possibility of alternatives through story, song and dance—all enduring aspects of human creativity.

Open-mindedness is not easy, and the fourth dimension is not a simple construct. But traveling with Sophia and her alter-ego through the ages of human history, we get epiphanies in which advances in art, literature and science were matched by the exploitation of our planet and humanity, where revolution and evolution were not on the same track, but there was still an unstoppable forward process. In the process, compassion is thrown by the wayside.

The contours of true intelligence are revealed when color and rhythm pulse across the stage, expressing human thought and emotion in the many forms of Broadway magnificence. The truth ultimately manifests itself in the form of a cosmic cube—tangible yet metaphysical, emanating a mysterious power that might be called empathy. It becomes very relevant that it awaits us in the fourth dimension, at the edge of human perception. Sophia found her truth; we need to find ours, too.Tesseract: The Geometry of Truth is produced by The Times of India, with concept and visualization by Meera Jain. Experience ‘Tesseract: The Geometry of Truth’, taking place from March 16 to 22, 2026 at the National Theater, Mumbai. Book here
