I still remember the first time when I saw videos about non-Euclidian Geometry[1] and Higher Dimensions[2]. I was amazed with such concepts, but I still havent read books about them. They are related somehow with topology[3] and curvature (and tangentially, to differential equations).

Also, a nice exercise to visualize 4D is to study quaternions and their properties. Vectors are somehow a nice simplification of them, see Maxwell laws. 3blue1brown has a video[4].
