Supposed that you have a device that could shift an object’s position on the 4th diamension, or had a 4th dimensional friend that can do it casually who could help you do the same, would you survive the process?

Taking it down a notch, would a 2D being survive being manipulated by 3D movement i.e twisting, shifting, fliping, etc?

I would assume so, since in theory all you’re doing is moving where you are in space. It might be a problem if it’s only done partially over time though

    Would moving/shifting in the 4th (spacial) dimension be fatal?

    You would disappear immediately. That’s all. Noone of us would have a way of knowing if you’re still alive or not, so it makes no difference :)

    (Usually we call time the 4th dimension, but you want to use a 4th spatial dimension, which isn’t even defined in physics, only in math)
