It's actually not that hard. Just as a three-dimensional object casts a two-dimensional shadow, a four-dimensional object will cast a three-dimensional one.
This video is quite long, but much of it is just presentation as it's a lecture given at the Royal Institution, and the speaker is very engaging.
Now, this is the sort of thing that is actually meant by the usual throwaway buzzwords like 'dimensions' (and the other bastardised term 'energy'). Appealing to real scientific concepts to impart layers of mystery to folktales only creates more of the very questions it's meant to deflect.
I just can't imagine that 4th dimension. It's also hard to wrap my head around black holes, infinity, etc. There is a lot we don't know and can't fully comprehend about the universe, but that is expected. So it is with God.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
