A hypercube is essentially a 4-dimensional cube. You know that if you're given 6 flat squares of paper, all connected in the correct fasion, that you can create a cube? Well, a hypercube is constructed in the same fashion, only differently

Ok, lets try some drawing skills here: Image 1 is a normal, unfolded cube. Image 2 is an unfolded hypercube, with additional faces coming off where FE1 and FE2 are located and pointing to, respectively (FE2 is pointing to the back of the cube second from the top in the main vertical column, not the corner). Oh yeah, all sides on the hypercube component cubes should be equal, its just that in my drawing they aren't...but should be! A hypercube is composed of 8 cubes that are folded, instead of 6 faces for a regular cube. To be honest, hypercubes sound like a whole lot of nothing to me
