What is a tesseract in the book A Wrinkle in Time?

Answer 1

A tesseract is the fifth dimension. It is when somebody takes a "shortcut" through time and space so that they "teleport" themselves to a different area or place. This concept is most commonly used to jump to a different planet in "A Wrinkle in Time".

Answer 2

It's a verb. It means wrinkle, escape, flee or be afraid to leave.

Yes, it is a verb, but I would describe it more as traveling from one area of space to another by bending of the structure of the space-time continuum. It doesn't really have anything to do with fear, or the lack of though. Simply, to "tesser" is to transport yourself to a different place and/or time.

Answer 3

A tesseract in A Wrinkle In Time is exactly the title a wrinkle in time so its like a way of time traveling.
