Description

In Shadows of Reality the painter Tony Robbin compares two models of the fourth dimension, slicing and projection. He argues that Picasso used projection to invent cubism and that the mathematician Hermann Minkowski had four-dimensional projective geometry in mind when he gave special relativity its form.
