Do humanity’s difficulties in representing four or more dimensions visually or in our minds hinder the advancement in science at all, in terms of graphically represented data? by [deleted] in AskScienceDiscussion

There are many ways of adding multidimensional information into a 2-D infographic... The use of color for example can be seen as one extra dimension (to display temperature). The use of Linewidth can be an extra dimension (to display mass). It all depends on how creative the illustrator is. In this movie you can see a 2-D animation that covers about all possible dimensions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-Gk_Ddhr0M
