When did I have a girlfriend?
Tyson: You're always single
😆
Less than clever
Not so clever if you take into account a single point in the timeline. So you could or could not have a girlfriend before or after that point in time.
He has very specific understanding of multiverse. There is anthropic principle that suggests there are infinite number of universes containing all possible ways for existence, there is even one where earth doesn’t exist. Multiverse is a product of human imagination as a self defense mechanism against the questions we cannot answer and maybe never will.

I was disappointed to see that Christopher Nolan did not add a disclaimer to the movie warning people not to go into black holes. Now everyone's going to be doing it.
That's fine though, maybe one will come out alive and can give us, the living and sane people, the readings and data they gathered during their experience 8D
Lol right
Sue the black hole!
In fact I fell into 3 black holes just this week out of the lack of fear this movie placed in me! This is getting ridiculous
Kieran Jarvis dude, we should ask for a law that protects peoplr that jump into black holes
- But Neil you didn’t explain the ending of Interstellar.
- I was always never explaining the ending of Interstaller.
- Oh okey. Wait what?

He just did? He entered the black hole and moved into a higher dimension where time can be traveled through like space.

@@Causal_NoobMaster428 If you're into string theory, there are 11 dimensions
@@Causal_NoobMaster428 Maybe, in order for you to be able to have some control over the 4th dimension, aka time, you have to be out of it in a higher or 5th dimension. Like, you can't push a car if you're inside it. You have get out of it first. I don't know.

Modern video games are a great exemplar of this dimensional shifting. We can manipulate time and visit/revisit the moments of a character's story line via save points, and we can move in a different direction from a save point each time to create a new future. We are removed from the four dimensions of that virtual world, but we can easily see and manipulate it. That character's future would change with each revisit, and they shouldn't be able to remember a future that hasn't occurred from their new return to the past. But what if the coding was recorded somewhere, like dying and returning to a checkpoint to try again but the game penalizes us in some way? Might we find a way to access that data of previous futures? Perhaps this would give credit to those that believe in predestination, premonitions, deja vu, etc. If we can access memories of the future, maybe there was a future we have already experienced?
This comment explains it beautifully. Wish it had more upvotes

It's funny how many people including Neil thought Cooper actually fell 'into' the black hole. Of course he didn't, he would have been ripped to shreds if he got close enough.
In the film it specifically said that the 'higher beings' saved Cooper and TARS from falling towards the black hole by transporting them to a space those 'higher beings' created for Cooper from their 5th dimension.
And
No. Cooper actually says "I've dipping through the event horizon" in a scene.
Cooper is inside the black hole during the movie at which this point the higher beings that were on edmunds planet saved him and put him in the tesseract.
The move is a second timeline, a timeline where the higher beings wanted to save humanity, as the first time line humanity did not survive because coopers daughter never existed.
Just curious about the whole dimension thing. So the "evolved" humans had 5 dimensions: the 3 space dimensions, and then were the other 2 the past and the present. So then, since Cooper and the other humans at the time couldn't exist in 5 dimensions, the humans from the future put the 2 dimensions of past and future into the 3 physical dimensions of space. Is that correct?
He would of only been in the event horizon. Time itself would still orbit and collect akin to matter clumping. Basicaly more than a single point of time would exist at on point, giving the mobilty to move in time suchas you would space. They said that the worm hole was open for a while and as such all time from our side since its opening would be accessible accessible to him. This would mean thoufh that he would of had to of survived the gravitational tidal waves to get to that point. This would all be speculative of course which is why this is a scifi
1:01 Actually I say that to my friends all the time in video games 😂😂

So is the fourth dimension time?
Yes
So far there's 11 known dimensions, the 11th containing pretty much every possibility that could have ever happened in the universe ever. The 11th is pretty much infinity in a way.
+Freihguy, physicists don't use the word "known" with respect to untestable theories. They typically don't like to use it when describing reality in general.
And being able to see in 3D apparently
It's love.
The soundtrack for interstellar is simply amazing
“Alright alright alright” 😎
He explained this beautifully.
But he never actually talked about the _ending_. How Cooper managed to enter the Blackhole without getting disintegrated? :O
A: They explain that Gargantua is a older spinning black hole called a "gentle singularity" And that something moving quickly might survive. B: It's implied that he wasn't even in the black hole. That the "Bulk Beings" Snatched him up once he hit the Event Horizon and threw him into the tesseract. Because the Bulk Beings can communicate through gravity, they could do that. Because what has the most gravity in the universe? A black hole.
He said at the end "And we don't know know what it´s in a black hole, so take it"
He didn't need to talk about that because the movie explained it. Try not being a dunce.
That's why they used a slingshot (neutron star) method to get _quickly_ into the B-hole. But we already know that even photon packets disintegrate due to immense G-force in B-holes even if they are traveling at speed of light (_c_), and Cooper's spacecraft's speed was obviously not greater than _c_.
R M
Agreed. But I am not referring to _what's in there?_, it's about _how he got in there?_.
Amazing movie. How its centered around a setting that is millions of miles away from life and makes you think so much about the people in your life.
in a nut shell.. i really like the way he explains things... he makes it simple so that he can share his vast knowledge of things..
People forget to notice that the movie is a "science fiction" movie... they take it too damn seriously. Just enjoy the show.
+Jia L. most of this movie aint sci fi, check youtube about black holes , etc. it s cool.
+Jia L. Yeah, seriously.

And yet I'd be willing to bet that when there's a mistake in a film that occurs in your area of expertise, you get a bit pissed off. Like the way English majors cringe when a supposedly highly educated character says "between you and I."
I caught a lot of flak because I pointed out that in the beginning of a period drama that involved horse racing over jumps, a horse is saddled with an American Western saddle that's been fitted out with the straps and irons from an English saddle. Utterly incomprehensible.
Seriously, the last thing you want if you're jumping a horse is that rigid, unforgiving horn sticking up right where your private parts are.

+Venumidas They use the wormhole to get to the black hole.
we are not even sure that black holes really exist. they are theoretical. I don't care what Stephen says
The thing is that our reality can have the possibility of time and space being different from what we perceived is amazing. Time points laid out in a graph where you're always doing that thing in that single point of time mind blowing.
He just made every sense of me feeling like I’ve been in my life before , like I died before I lived before and I repeat the same process. But I’m a prison of being stuck in my own body at this present time with only memories of my past and what and who I’ve encountered. 🤦♂️
To those people bitching that he didn't explain it: he explained it. He just assumed that you would be able to use your brains to connect together his explanation of the temporal (4th) dimension and what happens at the end of the movie. He apparently assumed wrong, for a few of you. Perhaps he should have drawn a diagram with crayons and used one syllable words?
Sorry Proghead but some people are incapable of wrapping there heads around something unless it is said in simple terms and drawn on a piece of paper. They probably still won't understand...
No, what they wanted is for him to say "the tesseract is the three dimensional embodiment of the 4th dimension of time, specifically Cooper's/Murph's "time line" (technically what is referred to as their "World Line" in our 3 dimensions)".
Or, at least point them in the direction of the tesseract.
Tyson didn't do that. In typical Tyson form he threw us into a sea of pretension and then held us under with his ego until we drowned. Tyson used to be good, but he's getting uncomfortably close to Phil Plait land and it is going to be a tragedy if Tyson ends up writing for that rag Phil has been consigned to
***** I have a feeling that you read that somewhere but you have no idea what it actually means. How adorable.
+1 00 5D is gravity through which cooper interact with Murph. Tesserect allows Cooper to use 4D time to convert to 5D gravity in order to communicate by pushing books and conveying signals with gravitational anomalies. Tyson did say we are looking space with respect to time what if we move to higher dimension ie. space and see time that could let us our entire timeline and one could drop into any specific time of its lifetime. But not possible to intervene with any event in past that could create paradox and nature prohibits so does quantum physics.
Dumbasses lol
I just can't 'run' with the notion that 'love' has a faster velocity than light and can therefore enable someone to escape from within a black hole. That was the single most ridiculous idea I have ever seen in a sci-fi movie, and I'm someone who saw 2001 aged 8 and actually understood it. All the sciency stuff that is established in Interstellar is thrown away at the end by claiming that a mere emotion has the ability to literally and practically transcend space and time, which is absurd in the extreme. Even Disney would balk at such a sickly sentimental resolution.
Though I can agree that that part was corny and made me cringe a bit. I'm pretty sure they explained that it was his connection to Murph that made him the only one who could convey the data in a way that ensures Murph receives it properly. Given the fact that interaction from that dimension was so limited. I didn't perceive it as anything in a literal since of, love transcends space and time. As if it was a tangible force.
In a way, the future humanity that made that pocket dimension possible already knew what happened. So doesn't that mean there is a constant regress of humanity becoming multi-dimensional beings and having to construct that said pocket dimension so Coop can relay that data to begin with?
Ugh, time-travel/dimensions are complicated. >.<
But that's just my two cents.
^ well put sire!
***** Thanks for clearing that up.
jigyoda
I was already into sci-fi like Dr Who and Star Trek, when 2001 came out in England in 1967 I saw it aged 8, realised it was about aliens influencing human evolution using big black blocks, no problem. Nolan failed to achieve 2001's epicness and went for a cheap sentimental shot.
astrophonix May I suggest you go back to your 8 year old self through the fifth dimension and tell him not to join youtube in the future, or would that be ridiculous? Also, tell him no one cares about whether he saw it or not.
Sincerely, the future humans.
Love that this makes so much sense to me. Even as a kid I can never just accept the very narrow minded answers given to me when I questioned things.
Interstellar is one of my all time favorite movies. Amazing work of cinema by one of the greatest auteur directors of our generation. Praise Nolan
I just watched interstellar! It was awesome!!
"When was I born? You're always born. When did I go to college? You're always going to college. When did I die? You're always dying..." May I propose that time is not a dimension, but an invention? We are prisoners of the present; we exist only in the moment at hand. But our experience may be just one facet of the gem that is all of reality. All of the facets with all of the possible experiences and events exist at once, but we see only the one with which we most closely feel. If we can change what we feel (easier said than done) so that we feel the things that are on a different facet, could we possibly move our consciousness from one facet that has Neil deGrasse Tyson as a scientist to one in which he and, say, Sylvester Stalone are opposite from the initial facet?
Therefore linear time as we know it would be an invented system of measure used to try to connect one facet that is a certain sum of experiences and events to a facet that contains all such experiences and events plus one event more. Then the measurement called "future" is an attempt to move into another facet to experience, rather than choosing and selecting the experience we wish to have most.
Such as the scene in the movie, the events were as selectable as physical space. He was outside of time, looking in; so was he experiencing time? If time was not being experienced, then he wasn't aging for the experience that he was in the structure. And when the structure folded in, he became trapped in a facet that had the final scene--location: near Saturn; time: that which describes his daughter as being elderly and humans leaving Earth.
As Cooper was his daughter's ghost, Cooper existed in a higher dimension, able to look in on himself at a lower dimension. He existed in both places in the same single moment; but the facet that the Earth-based Cooper was experiencing as a different facet than the black hole Cooper was experiencing. Every facet contains a different version of one's self, so when we experience a different one, we are not ceasing to exist in another; we are experiencing a different version of our entire self.
Just a thought.
Wow... you've explained this spot on .. thanks
I could be wrong. It's fun to think though. ^_^
You nailed it pretty much. The Tesseract that Cooper was floating in was invented for the exact purpose you explained, to view time but outside of time's rules (for lack of a lot of better terms). It was invented by the Future Humans, or "Them", and was invented SPECIFICALLY for Cooper because thanks to his daughter Murphy, both Coop and Murph were seen as the saviors of humanity. The Tesseract is like a way to say thanks to Cooper by letting him see the future that he built.
*fact*
Zizi Mugen Even if "you are always born" there would still be a 4D time coordinate for the event. It's just that in 5D that coordinate is a permanently accessible one, ergo "always" happening.
I like how they prioritised the fact that he had a podcast over the fact that he is a professional astrophysicist in Haden planetarium
Helping a brother to promote his podcast!
Dk 22 can’t argue with that
That's the best explanation about 4 dimensions I have ever seen.. Neil never ceases to amaze
When did I finally get laid?
"You never got laid...I mean you're always never getting laid, always."
William Francis 🤣🤣
Spoiler: In the end, you see the "tesseract" deconstructing, so it might be that Gargantua is not a natural black, but a device made by the same folks that put the wormhole next to Saturn.
Or that the higher future beings used the Gargantua as a sort of template or foundation to create the "tesseract"...at least that's how I saw it.
***** I think you misunderstood the plot. They weren't space aliens, but future humans. Humans who had eventually transcended our dimensions far in the future to become five dimensional Q style beings. That's why McConnoghey says in the tesseract, "we brought ourselves here." I think there's a lot of meaning in that. It says hey, think long term, where do you imagine our species in a million years? It makes the statement that we are destined for godhood - if we can make it that far. It's a very, very big statement, and I thought it was delivered beautifully, save perhaps for the time paradox of causation which I'm still trying to rationalise.
The gravitational pull and time warp of Gargantua would suggest that they'd be crushed though.
MrWelschvideo Yeah, this is as far as I know the only thing that doesn't really make any sense.
Though in the movie they just solved it by going really fast.
DanTheDragonslayer Once you get into multi-dimensional physics there is no time travel paradox. You can have timelines where humans go extinct and other timelines where they survive.
Oh my God ..i am so thankful to this video and ofcourse Sir Tyson. I've been struggling to understand the concept and now i got it very well
Interesting. I've always thought of time and space being separate. Not in the sense that they don't influence each other and intertwine, but in the sense that time is indeed not the 4th dimension and is rather an entirely different realm. You have your dimensions of space and your dimensions of time. Then again, who am I to argue with Neil DeGrass Tyson of all people
The ability to break down complex constructs into simple ideas is the mark of great intelligence, thank you for all that you Dr. Tyson.
such a wonderfully articulate man.
I agree. Like Carl Sagan, Neil is able to explain the beauty and importance of science to non-scientists and hopefully get kids interested in pursuing a science career.
Christopher Nolan is some next level director. Too conjure up such mind bending stories. So looking forward to Tenet!
He explained it so well. He is the college professor I was missing in my class
I think I missed the part where he explained the ending...
At the end he was removed from time and time was laid out in front of him as a physical dimension that he was accessing via the bookshelf.
Michael Klein I thought at the end he was on Titan or some satellite orbiting Saturn.
Hes talking about that weird bookshelf scene
Ryan Cook in the end that "robot" takes data from the black hole to solve the problem of gravity . then mathew mccoghney enter into the black hole and finds the higher dimensions there(as neil said we dont whats in a black hole except very strong gravity, take it and run it), in the higher dimension where he can access the time (as he said that we are only prisoner of time in our 3 dimensional world) he found her daughter and gave the data in binary code( which is 1 and 0's ) through her watch . simple.
Did you watch the video, clown?
"When was I born?"
"Well you were always born."
I'm watching Deep Space 9 now, so this reminds me of "You exist here.".
Dr. Manhattan: Hold my timeline...
I understood everything while watching the movie, I just came here to see him explain it.
Way back during the Back to the Future series, Doc Brown explains to Marty the 4th dimension as being time. He also mentioned the space/time continuum, which we could theoretically destroy, effecting the entire universe...or it could simply be localised to our own galaxy. CERN being one possible tool of that destruction. Scary.
Ok, look, it's not that people don't understand Interstellar, it's that it relies heavily on a paradox, more specifically the Ontological/Bootstrap paradox. See, Cooper used the black hole, but it HAD to be created by someone in the future for him to use. In order for those people to create it, they had to be saved by Cooper to begin with, so someone else saved them (presumably a future Cooper, etc etc). The loops ties in on itself without a place of origin. People are not stupid, we understand the movie, we just don't buy into the premise, because we've seen it done so many times before!
+Mario Krastanov reading this, I gotta think you're really haven't gotten what he just explained. When you look at time as a fourth dimension there is no present and/or future, therefore there's no need for anything to happen sequential... it kinda already has happened, you are just consciously no there yet.
take it like this: if all the actions leading to that in past, present and future wouldn't have worked together as they did, that - lets call it - time-universe just wouldn't exist, but since it exist as part of this story everything in it is kind of like a self-full-filling prophecy
the TOMSTER What you described is indeed possible and is in fact a potential solution to the Bootstrap paradox (if we accept space-time as non-sequential). Neil deGrasse Tyson is an incredibly smart guy and I've always admired him and loved his shows, however this particular thing is something that doesn't stay right with me. I can, of course, easily be wrong and what you and he described is the sole solution, but things not having an origin point (e.g. any event not having occurred somewhere initially with no outside help) doesn't make sense to me. Again, I can be wrong, but on a personal level it sounds weird to me. If, in 5-10 years, someone proves me wrong, I'll gladly admit it and trust the new system. So far, though, it just sounds weird to me. I'd love it if the scientists at CERN (or other similar facilities) manage to find answers to things like this, I've always been fascinated by such theories :)
Mario Krastanov ok, I see where you're coming from, I guess. I wanna state that, what Mr Tyson talks about and what I agree to is of course just a theory or even more so a philosophic view. How ever I think the problem with "needing" a start point is very human since we only can think in "from birth to death". but once you free yourself from the need of having to fully grasp something, time can be infinite, as space is. and on that there are multiple theories, for example that the universe behaves in a cycle, that starts with a big bang and then expanding until it collapses... starting allover again! in that construct existence would have no start or end since the sum of all energy never decreases. I really think that the inability to see those kinda possibilities (!) goes back to the human inability to understand infinity.
the TOMSTER I have thought about this before and I did understand what you meant with your previous comment. Like I said, I do not preclude the possibility that this is, in fact, how things work. I'm just saying it's hard for me to picture it and understand it this way, but it could very well be possible and I won't sit in a corner claiming otherwise if it is, indeed, the way the universe works. What I don't like about this theory, particularly when it's used in movies, is its application. It just seems lazy to me in terms of story development (similarly to a deus ex machina moment). Now, Lucy used pretty much the same explanation in its ending, but it avoided the paradox I'm sceptical of, which is perhaps why I liked it better than Interstellar. When it comes to movies, it's always a matter of personal choice. I can't say people that like Interstellar are dumb fanboys, nor can people who liked Interstellar say that the ones who didn't are stupid and don't understand the movie. We can't all like the same things :)
+Mario Krastanov It works, here's how. No matter if Cooper saves the people on Earth or not, Brand still creates the colony on that planet in the new galaxy. The descendants of those humans are able to open the wormhole and create the tesseract for Cooper, BAM.
Trust me I've been through black holes like 3 or 4 times. That's why I so much like Chris Nolan's movies because I deeply relate to them. Especially inception and interstellar
That was racist and... sad! Only 3 or 4 times?
When he said "You are always dying"
.
I felt that
This man has a gift of explaining difficult concepts.
I'm feeling like my 20 years has just passed A second ago
There are two references to this point from Hindu scriptures. 1st: It is referred to as Lord Shiva having a 3rd eye on his forehead just above between the eye brows exactly appearing as a blackhole. The interesting thing is that when he activates the 3rd eye, it means a destructive apocalypse will occur to clean the world of sin. Another reference to the 3rd eye is "Enlightenment", meaning to be able to attain a state of being where time ceases to exist. I'm amazed!! 🥹
His explanation of the fourth dimension concept about time was fascinating.
man that was fuckin simple and to the point thanks
"We don't know what is in a black hole. So take it" best explication ever
Now we need to explain what he said!
Great 👏👏
The best thing about Cooper manipulating the tesseract in the climactic scene of Interstellar is that he is reiterating things that we already saw onscreen around the start of the movie when his daughter complained of a "ghost" manipulating dust and clock hands in her room.
does this mean there is a certain dimension where time can be see as a physical dimension , as in i can actualy feel and touch time?
time is all around us.
you always touch time, but not the way you know "touching".
time exists all the time... :)
you get the ability to interact with every dimensional aspects of lower grade dimensions.
the 1st dimension is just a point in space
2nd dimension adds direction to this and gives full access to all the 1d points on the 2 dimensional line, though you can not change the line itself.
3d adds room and gives full control over 2d. You can draw lines on paper yourself and point at any point on the paper. But you can not leave the paper.
4d adds time, giving full access over 3d and lets you interact with 3d objects through timeflow. But you only have access to the present. That is the dimension we live in on earth.
5d would therefore give access to everything included in 4d, but won´t let us interact with the 5th dimensional aspect, wich would be gravity. Inside the blackhole is a space that soley consists of gravity, wich is why he changed to the 5th dimension when entering the black hole and beeing able to interact over the timeline.
Though i think he actually entered the 6th dimension, since he was able to manipulate gravity over the space and time to push the books and interact with the sand etc. Also would explain why he was not crushed from a full gravity space. If he got access to gravity through beeing in the 6th dimension, he could manipulate the gravitational force on his own body. Oh and entering the 6th dimension explains why he could exit the black hole again and move to Saturn, creating the wormhole over a set timeline during the process. So the wormhole, the Ghost, "them"...it was all Cooper.
In summary: yes, that would be the 5th dimension
We don't really know it for a fact what it means to be a five-dimensional being, but that is a hypothesis. Hence why he mentions it's science fiction :)
+Bernd Hornbach If there are already 4 dimensions we believe to exist, why are the others just mere hypothesis?
In the movies 5th dimensional humans built the tesseract inside the black hole so that Cooper could see time as a spacial dimension. It was probably the only way for him to understand it.
I don't think you could actually feel and touch time, but you could certainly have control over time. No one really knows though, it's all theory at the moment.
The idea of 4 dimensions, as he aptly explained, is rather trivial to grasp; though, the mathematical intricacies of the 4-vector scenarios may not be so easily accessible to the uninitiated. But in order to envision a 5-dimensional reality-where you are no longer bound by an arrow of time (seemingly flowing from the past to the future, but only truly experienced in the ‘present’) and could have access to the entirety of time-you could paint the following picture is your mind’s eye. Imagine that you are standing on the shore of a flowing river. With respect to the water flow, upstream (outside of your field of vision) would be the analogy for the past, the water flowing roughly in front of you (your field of vision) would be the present, and the water flowing downstream (beyond your field of vision) would represent the future flow. Notice by the way, that you have some flexibility in what you choose to be your, albeit limited, present field of vision at any given instant. Now imagine, that you reach the hilltop next to the river and watch the river from up there, where your field of vision has increased considerably and you have present-field-of-vision access to a larger segment of the flow. In analogy, the 5th dimension is like the mother of all hilltops 😀 that offers you a field of vision 👀 to the entire river of time at once.
Actually the water upstream would be the future...from your frame of reference..downstream would be the past...😯

I can jump up and down. How do you jump down?
i guess from the stairs or from a higher point
One thing you might be able to see about time is to visualize it this way: If you can visualize the interactions between matter and energy slowing down, then it makes enough sense when someone says that gravity causes time to slow down. For time to go backwards, however, how do you visualize it on an atomic scale? It isn't just matter moving in reverse, but many different (as currently understood) forms of energy exchanging energy in reverse, without a single quark vibrating in the wrong direction. That makes no sense to me.
Another way to look at is on a sort of graph. If time is, basically, mathematically equivalent to an exponential curve, then you can slow time down to a near stop, not a complete one, and you can't go backwards.

that's racist
lol
rofl
lmao
Damn
*CinemaSins' ding*
I feel like there might be an error with how he explains the 5th dimension. So, obviously, since we don't have access to it, no one knows for sure, but here is my take: He explains how we have access to move around freely (while following the laws of physics) in the first 3 dimensions. Forward, backwards, left, right up and down. Then, we are prisoner to our place in time. All that sound right. But he said if we had access to the 5th dimension, we would be able to "see" or "experience" all times simultaneously. At first it made sense, but then I realized that we don't currently have access to all space, even though we have the ability to move around freely in it.
So, if we "transcended," and gained the ability to access the 5th dimension, it may break us out of our jail to time, but what leads him to believe we would be able to access all times all the time. I feel like maybe it would allow us to access time, but we can only experience one time at at any given time. Similar to how we can currently be physically anywhere, but we can only physically be in one place at a time.
Basically time as a physical dimension
The problem I had with interstellar was less about being able to access different times. The problem was that 3-dimentional beings were able to *understand* the 4th dimension - that's where it fell apart for me
Same actually. I kept on listening on explanations that say the tesseract is built by "they" whom which is the "future humans" who ended up being 3-dimensional still. Then they proceeds on not explaining how does that happened? How did they ended up having access to the 4th dimension by being 3-dimensional? So I ended being "YEAAAH IT'S FUTUREEE", so I don't end up crazy.
Well, I like to think that after learn to control Gravity (5th dimension), humans naturally evolved into fifth or six dimensional beings after thousands of milleniums.
I see the multiverse as fireworks. Each explosion is a "big bang", and as one explosion expands into a sphere in the sky (space itself), others explode and dissipate around it continuously. On a humongous scale, I picture that happenening as we speak, with new universes being created over and over.
I love this guy. Could listen to him all day. Thank you for explaining to my restricted brain.
That was an awesome explanation, I truly get it, thank you sir.
Best 4th dimension explanation I've been trying to explain for awhile
The best way I've always thought of it is explained in the movie Flatland.
Imagine a 2-dimensional world with 2-dimensional beings. They have no comprehension of the Z-axis. Then you pull one of them out and allow them to look down into their 2-dimensional world, from a 3rd dimension. It's easy for us, but would be mind blowing for them.
That's how it would be for us to be pulled out of our 3-dimensional space and look down into it from the 4th dimension.
I can see a tiny part of some universe in his tie. O.O

Thank you for the video.
Wow! What a beautiful way of thinking and explaining!
