I'm sorry, but my brain basically explodes past the 5th dimension.
this version has sounds
You're also quite late.
Awesome, I feel a little bit smarter.
What the fuck. String theory suddenly makes sense.
This is not even string theory, this is just pseudoscience garbage.
Please don't listen to anything in this video.
This is the best video Iv'e seen that explains this concept.
:psyduck:
got through it all and understood it all, it was explained in a very good way.
If you had some god like machine that could go anywhere in any dimension, this means that would travel through the tenth dimension to go to the other possible universe, and then through the fifth for possiblitys,
and fourth for time in that dimension.
although there arent any connections to string theory in this.
This is stupidly oversimplified. The concept physicists talk of currently is beyond 10 dimensions, which isn't just multiple states or alternate universes, but alternate entireties of reality.
In the end, it's still a bunch of junk that doesn't mean anything at all.
Here on planet Earth, you have up, down, left, right, and forward and back, and you're only ever going to waste plenty of your TIME watching these videos.
It does a good job explaining the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dimensions but I believe if a 4th dimension actually exists, it would be another axis. One that's completely unimaginable and not representable.
The problem I have with this is that they pull "Time" as the 4th dimension straight out of their asses. I don't care if it's considered to be or not, but it's the biggest turning point in the video from basic scientific knowledge to advanced theories, and they provide absolutely no explanation or reasoning as to why "Time" is the 4th dimension. In fact, most high school mathematics courses would lead you to believe that time can't be a dimension. From here it seems like they're just making stuff up as they go, since they lost all their credibility about halfway in.

I don't believe that. There is obviously some kind of source they used for this. It is a theory. Not the definitive answer.
If time is a dimension, what keeps us moving forwards in it? What is this new momentum, when momentum itself requires time?

The 2d - 3d analogy does not apply to 3d - time because a two-dimensional object by definition does not have length in the third dimension, but everything has length in the temporal dimension. If time is the fourth dimension, you're not a three-dimensional creature, but a four-dimensional one.
This video is wildly inaccurate.

Dammit, there goes my concept of the 10th dimension.

Also psuedoscience garbage or...? Cause I like how clearly he explains it. Better than the OP at least.

Also, how can a 2D creature actually see a cross-section of a 3D object if he cannot see depth? In fact, how can he see anything at all as they're absolutely flat.

How can a two dimensional creature exist in the first place?
This is a philosophical approach to describe dimensions which has to fail. With pure mathematics, it's not hard to "imagine" n dimensions with n being an arbitrary natural number.
Also it's old.

A 2D creature can't actually have vision, but it's just a story used to explain spatial dimensions- which we know to exist. That's why Carl Sagan's demonstration isn't pseudoscience.
There are another type of dimensions relating to string theory, which OP's video tries to touch on, but fails so horribly because it's trying to throw a few spatial dimensions in to the mix, in addition to other things.

Guy on a forum talking about wasting time. Hilarious.
I liked this video.
I don't care about what you "quantum dimensional experts" have to say about the video, the fact is is that it explains hard concepts for those who can't grasp it.

Thank you.

I'd rather people not learn a concept than to learn it incorrectly.

It couldn't since it has no concept of height. Everything in the third dimension has height, even if it's as thin as possible. We wouldn't be able to see second dimensional creatures since they have no height. Unless we look at them from the top down... Which means- wait, what?

Fuck I just confused myself.

Why try to learn a concept that you can't understand, when you can understand one that is incorrect, then fix it, and understand it.

that's the point,
also we can't look at a 2d creature except from front/back, but since it can't have systems (AKA any type of hollowness cuts it in half), practically a 2d creature doesn't exist in this reality.
If anyone is interested in string theory they should really see Brian Greene' TED talk [url=http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/brian_greene_on_string_theory.html]here[/url].
