Fourth Dimension: The Enigma

In a hidden laboratory in Jakarta, Rizal, a talented young scientist, and his mentor, Professor Indri, work tirelessly to develop Prototype 01—a sophisticated machine believed to open a portal to the fourth dimension. Their experiments initially proceed smoothly until an unexpected energy surge triggers a series of strange and terrifying events. As Prototype 01 powers up, mysterious sinusoidal waves appear on the monitor, hinting at the existence of an unknown frequency. Professor Indri suspects these waves are related to the Kaluza-Klein hypothesis about extra dimensions. This theory posits the existence of an additional dimension curled around every point in our three-dimensional space-time. Driven by unyielding curiosity and excitement, they decide to send a modified drone into the newly opened portal. However, what they discover on the other side far surpasses their wildest imaginations. A surreal world of undefined colors and baffling geometry unfolds through the images transmitted by the drone from the fourth dimension. The tesseract, a four-dimensional object previously known only through computer simulations, now appears real and moves in ways that defy three-dimensional logic. Their excitement is short-lived, though. The drone's signal weakens and ultimately vanishes, coinciding with a surge of energy instability in the laboratory. Prototype 01 trembles violently, emitting a blinding white light, forcing Rizal and Professor Indri to confront forces they barely understand. In this critical situation, they find themselves caught in a vortex of energy, compelled to make quick decisions. Will they manage to harness the power of the fourth dimension, or will they fall victim to their own ambitions? "Fourth Dimension Portal: Mystery Behind the Waves" takes readers on a suspenseful journey across the boundaries of science and dimensions, exploring human curiosity about the universe and the hidden potentials within it.

Lost and Stranded

Blindness. That was the only thing Rizal felt as he regained consciousness. His head throbbed, and his ears rang. The pungent smell of ozone still lingered in his nose. Slowly, he opened his eyes, but all he saw was blinding white.

"Prof... Professor Indri?" he called out with a hoarse voice.

No answer. Only the echo of his own voice returned from the void.

Rizal tried to get up, but the sharp pain in his head forced him to lie back down. He groped around, searching for something to hold on to in the confusing white space.

Walls? Floor? Everything felt the same. Smooth, cold, and... endless.

"Where am I?" he murmured, panic beginning to creep into his mind.

Suddenly, a flicker of color appeared in the distance. A small blue dot that slowly grew larger, approaching, and morphing into something familiar.

A tesseract.

The four-dimensional geometric object rotated slowly before him, projecting three-dimensional shadows that shifted and changed endlessly. Rizal was transfixed, hypnotized by the impossible dance of light and color.

A voice, faint yet clear, sounded in his mind.

"Calm. You are safe."

Rizal gasped. That voice... where was it coming from? There was no mouth, no clear source of the sound. It was as if the voice came from the space itself.

"Wh-where is Professor Indri?" Rizal forced the words out of his dry throat.

The tesseract spun faster, its shadows dancing wildly.

"She... is not here. You are separated."

"Separated?" Rizal's panic intensified. "What do you mean? Where is she? How do we get back?"

Silence. The tesseract slowed down, its colors dimming.

"I... don't know. I am only... a bridge."

"A bridge? A bridge to where?"

"To higher dimensions. To a place where time and space are not as you understand them."

Rizal was silent. He was stranded in the fourth dimension, separated from Professor Indri, and speaking with... a tesseract? This felt like a nightmare, or maybe... a dream come true. A dream he and Professor Indri had long pursued.

He stared at the tesseract with newfound determination. If this object was the key to understanding the fourth dimension, to finding Professor Indri, and to returning to their world, then he had to figure out how to 'talk' to it.

His journey had just begun.
