  • Can human being really understand 4D ? Do you really understand and visualized it?

  • I dont really care how to draw this.... How did you make the hypercubes out of papaer?

  • I imagined hearing Bill Cosby's old school pen from Picture Pages; circa 1984.

  • This is a really good video. I feel like what I knew about the 4th dimension before I saw this video wasn't complete information. Thank you!

  • explanation 1st dimension= eh idk not much yet, 2nd dimension= new york street, 3rd dimension= life, 4th dimension= your brain on drugs.

  • Here's the solution: a two dimensional bubble cast a one dimensional shadow, a three dimensional bubble casts a two dimensional shadow, a four dimensional bubble casts a THREE DIMENSIONAL SHADOW! It is incomprehensible!

  • Sounds like Carl Sagan, knows what he's talking about...

    Just can't afford a table.

  • This is probably the most succinct definition of a higher spatial dimension I've seen, save for Carl Sagan's 'shadow' description itself.

  • 4D rubix cube games help understand these concepts plus they're fun to solve.

  • He really only needed to add a third dot to make 2d.

  • I thought i was clever until i watched this. WTF !

  • I think you have a misunderstanding. The 4th Dimension is duration. Imagine taking all of the cells of a cartoon animation and viewing them at once ... that is the 4th Dimension.

  • +O+ Great video! Your insight on not being able to observe the shape change as it rotates in space got me thinking about the fourth dimension. I drew a 3d-style shape as if it were in motion rotating thus depicting x,y,z and w in 2d. A shape shown in rotational motion might be as close to a glimpse at 4d as we can get using 2d. +O+

  • @MaJoDo Wow. You are an idiot. I will explain: mass in the first two dimensions will have volume, just in less than three dimensions. 2-yes, last time I checked, there are only three dimensions that we can move in and observe.

  • 0:01 i better look "yoga for relaxing" at this point...

  • Your ideas of 1 and 2 dimensional universes don't have volume, so mass wouldn't exist.

    The universe we live in is not "3 dimensional" in the literal sense that there a 3 set dimensions that govern possible directions of travel.

    We are only 3 dimensional in terms of mathematical cubic measurements, measuring space. That is all.

  • @9ior77 heheh. You said dick.

  • right , so make model of 4th dimensional quadcube or whatever ... stupido

  • WOW....she made my dick 4-dimensional!

  • Well, Carl Sagan explained this far better, years ago: "Cosmos - Carl Sagan - 4th Dimension"

  • you could just say that we, as 3d entities can only see the frames of state of the dimension above

  • Mind=blown

    

  • This will probably get disliked, but what the hell. I found the movie Flatland more eye opening than this video. Just my opinion though.

  • sounds like carl sagan

  • C:\Users\mjf\Pictures\4d  Cube.gif

  • time

  • but does it blend?

  • i remember when we did this chapter in class eaiest way to understand it - 4d drawings attempt to visualize an objects motion through time

  • @cars2024

    not quite acurate, as dime is not a spacial dimention, 4D just adds another physical plane of motion, observation or contemplation.

  • haha I have a 3d screen though *troll face *

  • 4th dimension is time, and moving between the 1st cube and the second, i picture something like a frame, where each direction is still the same except in different moments of this frame

  • he didn't have Parkinson's, but he surely have dysorthographia

  • Comment removed

  • do you have parkinsons

  • how did you make those paper boxes i want to try they are cool looking

  • if you squint real hard i think you can see the hypercube

  • To platinumpikachu13 everything cannot be measured with length an with. For example. Thought is something and that cannot be measured in length nd width

  • @daniellindseyforever i meant any physical (you know what i mean by physical) or theoretical object, such as the point that represents "dimension 0"

  • Am I the only one that got annoyed by the lines not being "perfectly" straight?

  • @Anielkar82 Am I the only one who gets annoyed by the noise the pen makes? :)

  • @Anielkar82 yes, you are the only one :P I'm annoyed by the out-of-focussesness of this video ;)

  • I don't know if anyone cares, but my theory is there is no such thing as "0 dimensions". I think that EVERYTHING has to have a length or width, no matter how immeasurable it may be.

  • @platinumpikachu13 ^ is the offspring of a clay brick and a potato

  • Comment removed

  • 3:05 A hypercube is a 4-dimensional object, yes. A tesseract, however, is not a 4-dimensional object. It is a 3-dimensional representation of the "shadow" of a 4-dimensional hypercube. Carl Sagan has a great explanation of it in one of his videos.

    The rest of your video is very well explained.

    Cheers.

  • I wonder what that new 4d direction is

  • I thought about this kind of stuff when I was in 4th grade xP

    The third dimension is created when you draw a line passing through a circle without touching it. Similarly, the fourth dimension is created when you draw a line passing through a sphere without touching it.

  • @TheJunkieBox i'm far from being good at quantum physics but how is that possible? :o

    maybe it's just my mind that cannot visualize that :/

  • @laokon Well it's not possible in the third dimension. That's sort of the point, because the line has to lie upon the fourth dimension to pass through the sphere, the way a line has to lie upon the third dimension to pass through a circle.

  • @TheJunkieBox oh i get it now -_- the same as the 2D person trying to imagine how a line can go through a square without touching it? or wrong again? :/

  • @laokon Well yeah, the shape itself isn't important. A line going through any closed (but hollow) 2D object demonstrates the third dimension.

  • so if a 2d creature shuts the door to his squared out room, he thinks nobody can see him, yet its only cause he cannot see the 3rd dimension and his room only blocks out 2 dimensions.

    If somehow a 4th dimensional creature were to get in contact with us he could do the same thing to us.

    If you run into your room, You think nobody can see you, But you are wrong, since your room only blocks out three dimensions, while the 4th dimension is open.

  • uhh that second cube is wrong dude. the squares have to be the same size

  • ??

  • um... we do live in 4 dimensions,

    the fourth is called space-time "space and time"

  • @trultima no time and space is not real, you cannot touch time-space you cannot see it, it is the 4th dimension that we cannot travel through.

    someone from the 2nd dimension can see and hover right next to a 1d creature.

    someone from the 3d dimension can see and hover right next to a 2d creature living in a 2d universe.

    Somone living in a 4D unviverse can hover right next to us, just like a 2d creature the 3rd dimension is right next to them, its just they cant see it, just like in our case.

  • @llparasitell wow! you must be soopur smart

    if you think time and space is not real, then you really should't have kids.

    Go do some reading.

    What i said is not theory, it's fact.

    it's just like saying "i can't see air, so it's not real"

    if that's the case, then i can't see you, therefor you are not real.

  • @trultima no you smart ass -_- time and space are real but, our perception of it is NOT.

    the fifth dimension is what we perceive as time. Time should really be called the fifth dimension.

    You need to thoroughly read and understand before you make crude comments.

  • @llparasitell i know you are but what am i? derp derp :D

  • I drew a hyper cube like the second model in 5th grade while reading "A Wrinkle in Time"

  • @71sk8erdude holy shit, I read that book. Was a pretty good book, really interesting too :D

  • the time goes from 7:42 - 7:44 ... what happened to 7:43? 0_o

  • @SuPaFLyDizZy he broke the time,and the time broke him.

  • first cobe 100% 4d cube.Second cobe 100% wrong.YOUR IDEA WONDERFUL THANKS

  • or time

  • I thought that the fourth dimension was movement.

  • "I can tell you're still having a little trouble with this last part" Well you know what, bitch? I am. Fuck you.

  • this is not hypercube this shit

  • It isn't completely true that we just see in 2d. When you combine 2 separate 2d objects like the squares you get a 3d object right? Each of our eyes sees in 2d, from 2 separate perspectives of the same object simultaneously. This allows us to see in 3 dimensions. Consider the limited scope of our vision, we can't see everything simultaneously, just one thing. So if we could see the same 3d object(2 eyes 2 separate images combined) within a limited scope of time simultaneously we'd be seeing 4ds.

  • dude you brain fucked me ugh... cool though

  • Ee I got it :)) so amazing

  • To add to what radiusandarc said, You said your drawing was 2d.

    Actually, I presume ink has 3 demensions. Ink is not a completley flat surface that if we were to look at the side and see nothing.

    Everything in the human world is 3d.

  • @KingOfAceZ1 But everything you see is really just a 2d image of what your eyes sense. :) We think in 2d.

  • @RSwtfboom the end result of what both eyes see... is us seeing in 3d.

  • You could just say that nothing in our world is 3d its actually 4d when you take time into consideration. But it is more useful to think of the 4th-D as simply an additional characteristic of a 3d-object (just like the 3rd-D would be an additional characteristic of a 2d object ). Therefore you are both right.

  • int, then this point is everywhere and encompasses all, for the first single point is surrounded by nothingness. this single point, is in the infinite dimension. the everything dimension.

  • a single, fixed point does NOT have zero dimensions, and if anything had zero dimensions, then it would have never existed. a single point, being the only space another point can exist on, exists around nothingness, so if another point can move in the first point's dimensional directions, like in the examples of length, width, and height that were given for the third dimension, then this single point would be everywhere on this first single point. so if this point is everywhere on this single po

  • @RadiusandArc points have, axiomatically 0 Dimensions, look it up at wiki or some other source if Wiki isnt good enough ;)

    @KingOfAceZ1 its about math and not the human world... The problem is thinking in more dimensions than we are used to ( thinking in less dimensions is also not easy sometimes )

  • lol im doing that all the time on the class,connecting nd conecting and connecting

  • omg... you just blew my mind! that is really really really rare for me to happen! Another good example is perpective training as to how a 2 dimensional person see a sphere. A one segment of circle appearing to get bigger then pops out of existence. This is how we perceive time, a moment appears then disappears (past, present, future).

  • Interestinggg

  • watch?v=8Q_GQqUg6Ts This is a better representation of the dimensions.

  • still 2d

  • that was the worst cube i've ever seen .-.

  • @Alliancelane Trickquestionzzz...

  • @Alliancelane The attendant´s $2 is part of the $27, and the three men got each $1 back, which is $27+$3=$30!

  • that's not a line it's a line segment

  • And there is a logical answer....but can anyone come up with it?

  • Ok batman, riddle me this. Three men go to rent a room that will cost them $30. They will pay $10. Each..they pay the attendant the $30., but the manager tells the attendant the room is really $25. And gives five ones to the attendant to give back to the three men..The attendant thinking it would be easier to tell the men the room costs $27. Gives each man $1. Each. The attendant kept $2. For himself..Question? The men paid $9. Each- that equals $27. The attendant kept $2. - where is the last $1

  • You should teach geom!!

  • @Chilliplease Chuck Norris

  • If a 3 dimensional objetc has 3 dimensions (l, w, h) what would the 4th dimension be?

  • @Chiliplease l,w,h, volume?,

  • @coolsphinx64 vplume isnt a dimension, it is the factor of all dimensions

  • @Chiliplease im only in grade 7 0.o

  • @coolsphinx64 im in grade 8 :)

  • @Chiliplease im in canada

  • thx for your explanation 

  • Yes, quantum mechanics prove that time cannot be a fourth dimension. Just take the time and study M-theroy and it's predecessor. Even Einstein said space and time are the same. So time becomes a function of the dimensions, not quite a dimension it self. Time is theoretically pliable and reversible. No, the video needs to be reworked. It is bad.

  • ball point pen scraping........ unnnnnnnbearrrrrablllle.......­.!!!!

  • if we can see and understand a 3d object in a 2d video, can we try and understand a 4d object in a 3d video?

  • @alteclansingco Well when we look at objects in the real world we are actually seeing two 2d images in each of our eyes. Our brains can then calculate depth from these images (I am not sure how much of this is hardwired or learned).

  • People tend to think of time as a fourth spatial dimension, it should be thought of as a temporal dimension. However, both are used interchangeably in science and it is to be assumed which one is being suggested via the subject at hand. In this case,time is not the fourth dimension, he is referring to the fourth spatial dimension. Some try to correlate the two by using different theories to relate time and space as one. Our idea of space-time is only a concept, for we do not know if time is real

  • the hypercube and the fourth dimension are just wishful thinking. well, let me put it this way, the fourth dimension of the physical reality is time, and that's it. anything beyond the three dimensions plus time is just pure fantasy. there's no direct or indirect evidence of a fourth physical dimension besides time. And while we're it, time travel is also baloney. Theoretical physics is dead.

  • @FreedomDroid bologna**... and there could be a 4th dimension its just that our physiology can only sense things in three dimensions so we wouldnt be able to fully understand it to begin with

  • @FreedomDroid open ur mind troll! the 4th SPACIAL dimension (not the philosophical time) cant be perceived from our 3d world. in other words 4d space can best be described as "nothing". when ever something happens out of "nothing" it only means we PERCEIVE it as nothing. so dark matter, dark energy, god(s).. can be thought of, residing in 4d space. like our universe came from out of "nothing"? or maybe just from a 4th D of space that we just cant perceive inside this universe.

  • @FreedomDroid If, as you say, theoretical physics is dead, we can use experimental physics to indicate the existence of higher dimensions. Particle physicists observe the apparent 'disappearance' of matter and energy at places like the LHC; if we accept the law of conservation of energy, then the matter and energy simply cannot just disappear. This is what suggests the existence of higher dimensions - the matter and energy isn't being destroyed, just moving to a dimension we cannot perceive.

  • @djadudeguy The LHC experiments are invalid as they have to supercharge the particles many times over before colliding them against each other. All that energy must go somewhere, so the particles break up they become free radicals then they absorb other molecules to neutralize their charge once again. These particles don't jump to other dimensions, that's ridic. Anti matter and dark matter all are fake and don't exists just as there is no proof of a fourth dimension.

  • @FreedomDroid Ok cool. So where did you study particle physics to have the authority to discount the generally accepted work of lots of physicists from around the world as "ridic"?

  • @djadudeguy google "appeal to authority" then come back to me. The difference between these physicists and me is that I didn't receive my education on Sunday school and that my life doesn't revolve around ghosts.

  • @FreedomDroid Okay. You seem to really have a strange view of physicists. You also don't seem to understand the evidence for higher dimensions. Understand that nobody is claiming that the higher dimension theory is fact, it is precisely a theory that suits the observations made.

    I can't think of any of the physicists that I know who fit your image of them. You still haven't said where you did receive your education from?

  • @djadudeguy What exactly is that evidence you're referring to? if you have compelling evidence I might as well change my mind and give you a prize!! yeah why not... please don't hold this evidence just for yourself... share it with me..

  • @FreedomDroid You've already decided to discount it and make up something about free radicals. When they're colliding leptons and hadrons in the LHC, how exactly are they forming the atoms you are referring to?

    The advanced equipment can detect the particles which come flying away after the collision, using conservation of momentum, they can analyse this data and notice that there is some missing energy.

  • @djadudeguy granted that there is some "missing" energy... what is more probable. that the physicists at the LHC don't understand where is it going, or that they are sure that this energy is going to a "higher dimension"? you tell me.

  • @trevotillo Seeing as the first 4 dimensions are within the confines of Space, would that mean that then next few dimensions specify within Time?

  • You sound like Carl Sagan. Awesome.

  • You're making this too complicated. There is no need to warp your mind to understand the 4th dimension, because we *are* 4-dimensional beings already. 1-length, 2-width, 3-depth, 4-persistence(time). You want to transpose a cube into 4 dimensions, just animate it. The proof is that we cannot perceive purely 0,1,2,*or* 3-dimensional objects. 0 is an infinitesimal point, 1 is a line of no thickness, 2 is a square of no depth, and 3 is a cube that exists for no time. All are invisible.

  • i thought the fourth dimension is time :P

  • ok explination but iv seen beter on here... but still good for ppl trying to get used to the concept

  • nice voice

  • I'm watching this video in 4D

  • i thought the 4th dimension was time?

  • @TheStonedEngineer If the 4th dimension was time, why are the others before the 4th objects or actual 'things'?

  • @Blastbrutal we exist in 4 dimensions :length, height, width, and time. i suppose that he means 4th spacial dimension which i think would be the 5th dimension for us.

  • emmm carl sagan, or i wrong?

  • you sir are a genious

  • Are you god? O_O

  • in math we draw rectanguls

  • Hmmm... Cube-ception... 

  • PWEGO!

  • why am i so bothered by your hand shaking?

  • @Pwegoable HI PWEGO!!!!!!!

  • This is the fifth dimension. The Fourth is time.

  • Time is a temporal dimension, not a spatial one.

  • Very interesting.

  • Isn't the fourth dimension time? So is it time we cannot perceive?

  • @stormseeker442 nope. time is not the 4th dimension. time is present in all dimensions so how can it be the 4th dimension?

  • @juriezzamora I'm not sure, when I was showing him the video he said that time is the fourth deminsion. :d

  • @stormseeker442 In this case we're talking about physical directions such as up, down, left, right, backward, and forward. The two new directions in each successive dimension are not present in the previous dimensions. For example, in 3D, we have forward and backward, but those cannot be observed in 2D or 1D. If time were the fourth physical dimension, we wouldn't be able to observe it in 3D, but time can be observed in any dimension. 4D is something else entirely that cannot be perceived in 3D.

  • Lets connect 2 Hypercubes!

  • @CrazyManiac70 thats basicly what a 5 dimentional cube wuld be...

  • @CrazyManiac70 And blow up the universe...?

  • @CrazyManiac70 I dare you to draw it :D

  • There is a Theory About eleven Dimentional Hyperspace, that allows to travel between "the Sheets" that Build up every single dimention.Movie Rox, Good Job !

  • So if the shadow of a 1D object is 0D, the shadow of a 2D object is 1D, and the shadow of a 3D object is 2D, would that meant the shadow of a 4D object is 3D? In that case OMGWTFBBQ

  • @SergeantFawful But would the shadow of a 4D object cast by a 5D sun be...my brain just blew up.

  • So what does it take to actually SEE four dimensions?

  • Ya you can't demonstrate 4D in 2D. -.-

  • Math is just a way to make easy things harder, its stupid

  • Wouldn't the fourth dimension just be two objects existing in the same space at the same time?

  • @maumbu that sounds like 3D... 4th D should be a single object existing on different times

  • I'm going to hear that pen scratching noise in my nightmares.

  • That's not a 4D object, that's just a weirdly-shaped cube.

    What is the fourth dimension? We live in a 3 dimensional universe. 

  • @kramnodd9 AS he explained... you can't see the fourth dimension. What you see is a projection of a hyper cube in our 3 dimensional world... It takes some serious maths to understand this tough...

  • @x87alpha1

    How do you even know a fourth dimension exists?

  • @kramnodd9 Yes, it's obvious mathematically. Btw, in physics the 4th dimension is time. PPl imagine a dimension like somewhere where aliens live or something but it's not necessarily that. Moreover, now the strings theory is going further by saying that there are 10 spacial dimensions in addition to the 3 we know.

    So yes, a fourth dimension exists since the 3 are not sufficient to solve all the physics problems ;-)

  • @kramnodd9 The fourth dimension is incomprehensible in our 1,2 and 3 dimensional terms, at best we can make analogies with 3 dimensional objects

  • that was a fantastic explanation.

  • @FishBowl911 Would a two dimensional creature be able to imagine a third dimension?

  • I drew something on a piece of paper. I flipped the picture around and could still see it, but I saw the same picture, not the back of it. Weird little mind trick...if anyone understands what I'm saying.

  • if we had three or four eyes...

  • @dragodestroyer99 I think you're missing the point here. Even if you had 4 eyes, you'd still only see in 3 dimensions.

  • Read me a ghost story please!!!

  • @gigyas6 Not exactly, since these "4th dimensional beings" already are in a higher dimension, they can understand the 3rd dimension, since they already experience it. Just like how we can visualize the 2nd dimension. What I would like to know though is how does one get to the 4th dimension? Are we simply stuck in a 3rd dimension? It seems confusing. How would we get to a 4th dimension, and where would it be?

  • @BehindYouSir If you haven't figured it out yet the 4th dimension is simply 3D space placed inside another 3D space just like you can put a stack of 2D pieces of paper on top of each other. As the 2D paper stack get's thicker the thickness is in the 3rd dimension. So in order to get to the 4th dimension 4D space is simply 3D space placed inside another 3D space.

  • @FishBowl911 I like your comment. It feeds my brain.

  • @BehindYouSir I am not sure if time has anything to do with 4D space but it seems very probable since as time goes by 3D space changes so maybe we are already in 4D space except we seem to only have some control over 3 dimensions and the 4th one maybe is time which we have very little control over. However, i heard we can control this 4th dimension if we can travel fast or close to the speed of light then we go into the 4th dimension so that's how you would get there.
