We're all familiar with "Optical Illusions", in which we're tricked by clever images into seeing things that aren't really there, or static images which appear to waver, and a host of other tricks played upon our notably visual sense. But fewer of us are familiar with "Auditory Illusions", (by which I don't mean the 1st date post-mortem in which one partner tries to recall if he/she heard "I love you". . .). For a quick introduction try this link:

It doesn't end at Wikipedia, but too often I find I'm in the habit of finding one source for the information I want and not digging further.
The Internet Archive is a site "with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format.". It kind of recalls the ideals of the internet, doesn't it? Link here: http://www.archive.org/index.php

This is a rather interesting flash video/animation that seeks to explain those dimensions above 4, specifically all the way up to 10.

Somedays thinking above 2 is tough enough. On that note, perhaps follow this link to learn a little about the classic novel "Flatland" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland.
