I came across this one day. It is this two part video of this guy's ideas on the tenth dimension. I found this to be very interesting and thought I'd share.

wow!
Quite honestly, this is an awful explanation of higher dimensions.
Wait, what?
While we are at it might as well watch Outer In, turning a sphere inside out.
The first 30 seconds are unbearable.
He basically said a point is something with no dimensions, but is of indeterminate size. If it has size at ALL, then it has another dimension, making it at least 2D

Even a one-dimensional object has size, and when he says indeterminate, he essentially means nonexistent.

This isn't really an accurate explanation of them either. His ideas are quite different from the actual proposed ones.
I can't understand his shit. A lot of it dosen't really make much sense: however the shit with turning a sphere inside out actually makes sense.
Very odd, makes me wonder how they come up with this.
Whoa. Christ, my head hurts more then it did when I saw that turning a sphere inside out thing
I only knew about 5 dimensions
A point can also be considered the tenth dimension, thus being of indeterminate size. It's impossible to imagine the capacity of said point, because of all the probabilities you'd have to consider. There are an infinite amounts of infinities that could be contained in said point.

Drugs.
I've never believed in several dimensions. Is there any proof at all that there are extradimensional creatures, or creatures in the dimensions 'below' us? "Imagine a two-dimensional creature" that's enough for me to know this is a load of bollocks.
And this theory of us not being able to identify or even see these creatures just adds to the pixies and fairies story. And even if there are more dimensions, why the hell are we trying to figure out what the parameters of higher dimensions are when we are clearly incapable of knowing what they are?
If a flatlander walking in a straight line would end up on the same spot eventually, then assuming the same rules apply to other dimensions it would mean:
-We get to the "end" of our universe and we just end up at the "beginning"
-Time gets to an "end" and begins again.
Basically everything would be an endless loop.

We all want to understand the unknown, so we create truths, and sometimes even fallacies about said unknown. Take 'God' for example. The dimensions above us are vastly unknown whether you believe in them or not, and we cannot truly explain what they are, or how they work. Right now, our capacity of thought isn't enough to compute what the fourth or fifth dimensions mean. While it is plausible, it can be considered unbelievable.

Nobody here is talking about life in other dimensions, we know there is a 4th dimension because we have no control over time and space, which are the 4th dimension, we are aware of the 1st and 2nd dimensions because we live in the third dimension so they're easy to percieve from our point of view. If there was something living in the second dimension they would be aware of the first dimension but wouldn't be able to fully understand the 3rd, just like we can't fully understand time and space.

Interesting explanation. If living beings exist in some other dimension, I.E. the fifth dimension, and they gain higher intelligence, do you think they'd understand fully what their impact is? Via technicality, they'd be able to manipulate the space time plane, and create separate realities branching off from their own. It's paradoxical to think about in it's entirety. A being who can see its future, but can go into the past and change it, only to continue to see its future in front of itself again. They could majorly impact their own society, if they were to reach some evolutionary stage. Then again, they could hop back in time to their stages of conception and make themselves the perfect beings. Again, a paradoxical existence.
I respect what people believe, and thus I will not force my beliefs down their throat, but I'm not buying it. Someone smoked alot of dope at one point and bloated this whole dimensions thing out of proportions.
Even though we are capable of percieving 'the second dimension' (mostly through print on paper, or your monitor right now for example), you'll find that most things still have depths, no matter how insignificant. We are, however, incapable of perceiving the first dimension, if such a thing exists, since this increasingly hypothetical point would have no width or length (and no depth ofcourse).
So unless we evolve to a point (irony) where we *can* live the 4th dimension, there's no way to prove it. Time is a feasable parameter for this 4th dimension, but having such a big E-Penis for this guy to explain all the way up to the 10th dimension... He's got to be talking out of his poop chute.

A point IS something with no dimensions and it has no size at all! A point is an imaginary object.
wat.
Dont fuck with dimensions. The one were in is fine as it is.
I stopped when I heard him say "Different Infinities".
[QUOTE=some_hobo;16055209]Dont fuck with dimensions. The one were in is fine as it is.[/QUOTE]
that's pretty much what happened in "The Mist"
also I think we'd become Gods if we could actually understand the 10th and beyond.
bullshit
Mind-boggling, but interesting.
I was lost after the 3rd dimension.
10th dimension=god's butthole
