I don't understand.. how can the SPHERE be the SHADOW?
Like a rainbow man. The sphere is a shadow of particles. The thing just has the necessary ability to make its shadow curved and spherical due to the nature of how the particles reflec light.
You have to remember that AT fields exist there so there could be any number of surfaces for light to bounce off and form a sphere

It's a shitty anime from the 90s. Science isn't it's selling point.

They used some abstraction of shadow that works in any number of dimensions.
They used shadow as shape that is created when you collapse object along some axis. This is analogous to casting a shadow, because in our world shadows are 2D shapes created from 3D objects. You can imagine shadows in 2D world, they would create 1D lines from 2D shapes. Similarly when you have 4D objects, it casts 3D shadow, for example a sphere. We live in 3D world so we can only see a shadow of 4D angel, just like fictional 2D creatures that lives in 2D worlds, could only see 2D shadows of objects from our world.
The rest of leliel is complete bullshit though.

What about the depth of the shadow. Understanding that it was meme anime science, shadows do really have some depth?

I don't remember anything about depth of the shadow. What was that about?
>trying to find scientific accuracy in an anime about depression and emotional trauma

Im not a weeb, so I don't actually know what the context is, but the mathematical representation of a shadow of a 4 dimensional object would have 3 dimensions to it so yes, it would have depth.

It's basically an inverse stereographic projection
