https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_in_4-dimensional_Euclidean_space

In mathematics, the group of rotations about a fixed point in four-dimensional Euclidean space is denoted SO(4). The name comes from the fact that it is (isomorphic to) the special orthogonal group of order 4.

In four spatial Dimensions it is possible to rotate in two completely different ways at the same time

Isn't Tensor a Decepticon?
No, it's how you make sure that all the verbs in a given sentence refer to the same time period for the same event.
Not 'we went to the store and will find ourselves in the bread aisle.'
 
It's a wrong way to explain/introduce tensors. Correct way is through vector space of directional derivatives and their linear forms.
