I'd like it to be as close to the physics as we know it as possible. I'd like a physicist to read it and think "from a technical perspective, no notes"

Yet another post I'm copy pasting straight into my writing notes. Many, many thanks.

This is all very helpful..........but would it travel on its own in our 3d space due to this rotation?

I feel like I'm communicating my question poorly.

​

I want to write a story about a man grabbed by a 4D entity, tossed through a 4D space, during which he grabs ahold of a 4D object, before landing back in our regular 3D world. I thought a sphere would be interesting if I could show it as a 4D object (like the representations of a hypercube rotating I've seen, just with a sphere) and I had a mental image of it rotating like that, visually, at a very high rate of speed, while also remaining stationary in the POV characters hand, and I'm trying to figure out if that would actually happen, if it would still move in our dimension due to its 4D rotation, or if it would just slide back out of our field of view into the 4th dimension.

I understood literally none of that. Could I trouble you to explain it to a mailman rather than a physicist?

EDIT:

Or to restate my question, if you placed a 4d spehere on my palm while it was rotating on that 4th axis, what would I see?

Excellent. Perfect. I love it when someone puts something in the exact words I need to hear to understand it. I hope you get a new puppy and someone lets you touch their butt.

Would you expect the sphere to travel in our 3 dimensions if it's only rotating in that 4th?

So it should remain stationary on the palm while appearing to visually rotate into/out of itself?

assuming a color gradient across the surface of the ball shouldnt parts of it appear to be rolling in different directions?

Does the friction cause the ball to travel in one of our 3 dimensions?

Why would you necromance my month old post to not answer the question
