This Science video will blow your mind. Dimensions : science
Welcome to /r/science!

1: Video was extremely slow and boring.
2: Who submitted this?
A 5th grader? Anyone that finished middle school should understand everything in this video.
|

Wish i had been able to see this in school when i was in the 5th grade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

I thought so too at first.
Then the next video started.
It became apparent that they are trying to teach how to see in more than 3 dimensions.
I'm going to watch the rest now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start simple, get complex fast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But it's still pretty good for a video aimed at fifth graders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My main problem is that the op said that it would blow your mind.
That's why I'm wondering if he was a fifth grader.
Not that this info isn't useful or interesting, I just seem to think that it's something that most adults would know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most adults know that stereographic projections of higher dimensional objects into lower dimensions can provide alot of information about the higher dimensional object than a simple slice?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't say that they would be able to explain it so eloquently but I think that most people are aware of the phenomenon.
And if not I'd assume that people at Reddit are above the average in terms of understanding things like this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But it's not my mind that I want blown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

I feel stupid. I didn't get the end :(

I made it to about 9 minutes into the second video where he says "it's not hard to understand, even for the lizards".
At which point I realized math really wasn't for me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
The music is freakin me out.

He never gets into the fun stuff, like quaternions and slurping.
Thats what the plane is actually doing...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slurping is certainly where the fun is at.

The projected four dimensional shapes (video #3) caused some swelling around my frontal lobe, but after watching the video that explained complex numbers using geometry, there is brain matter all over my wall.
And I'm only on the sixth video...
|
|
|
|

It takes a while.
I only started grasping it after making a hypercube in openGL, and placing objects in it to see how they moved.
The math is straight-forward, but i was flying blind for a while.
If i ever get the chance to travel in the 4th spatial dimension, i'll know just how to teleport.
Its the source of my username :-)
as far as complex numbers, the matricies you need to make a tesseract show why you need root(-1) quite nicely

Could this guy talk any slower.
I also don't like how he talks about things, parts are technically incorrect and other are technically correct but not the proper definitions.
For example his 'definition' of holomorphic was just plain wrong.
He takes a few too many liberties that could lead to confusion if anyone actually paid attention.

All I can say is...
Salad Fingers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe if it was the year 1400 or something like that it would blow people's minds.
But this is pretty elementary geometry.
And I agree that it is waaaay too slow.

Thanks reddit, for reminding me how stupid I really am :(
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

I dont think he watched it all the way to the end...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Somehow this guy kind of reminds of salad fingers...

Sorry, my mind remains unblown.
Great subject matter, but they need to speed things up a bit.
Perhaps if they sped up the graphics & re-cut the piece to make it snappier.
Oh, and switch out the narrator's tea with a couple double espressos...

Hipparchus is bumming me out.

Oh god that narrator is BOOOORING

Mind. Dimensions?
Like Tiga's new track?
'every time i look into your eyes i see the future...'

I don't know. I think I prefer to use google maps.

That wasn't that (Acid Trip Starts) That was totally the most amazing mind blowing video of all time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mind not blown. I want my 15 minutes back.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Either a lot of people never made it past the first video, or I'm a dunce.
Or I'm just not a math geek.
Or both.
