  • smoke some salvia and you'll go to another dimension.

  • @5:33 "This idea that extra dimensions exist all around us, lies at the heart of string theory"

    Well I guess if we can disprove extra dimensions, we can can the theory.

    @6:15 "When we talk about extra dimensions. We literally mean extra dimensions of space that are the same as the dimensions of space we see around us. And the ONLY difference between them has to do with their shape."

    Shape of dimensions?

    Can someone help me visualize the shape of forward, up, sideways & or the future?

    I am lost.

  • @3:14 Analogy of the cable having extra dimensions because the ant can walk around & along it is just an example of a complex way of describing something false.

    When did the ant leave our 4D Space-Time & experienced the 11D Thread-Time by walking around the 3D cable?

    If I walk around something, I don't enter new dimensions because of it. I'm always facing & moving in one of the three possible directions, & I do it in time.

    They talk as if Einstein was a believer of this & not his 4D Space-Time.

  • I really doubt it.

  • You should listen carefully to what she said-People who ridicule others,therefor the others work their entire life to prove themselves...And this is the real basic for every study-people protecting their pride,and trying to set themselves above others by proving that they are right and the others are wrong...it's the very essence of conflict within the human race.The funny thing about people,is they suddenly put a near obsession to the matter,trying to either prove or control what they theorize.

  • @Wharwulif Yet the amazing thing is-they forget that no matter what they theorize,the world is still EXACTLY the same,and they gain the illusion that suddenly there is something new...yet the world still moves exactly the same.

    People should be careful with perception,when they "discover" things,they must realize that they should not be joy about it,for besides the image of the universe within their minds,there is no change.

    Like a person using Gold,so they will try to use whatever they theorize

  • Cant really say that the traffic light wire is a good analogy. A wire is still a 3 dimensional object, no matter what size you are. I prefer Sagan's analogy which compares the universe to the shape of a globe, limited yet without 'edges'. But I suppose they are talking about the super tiny here, and not the universally gigantic.

  • I don't really like the way they refer to some hyper-dimensions as being "tiny and curled up", as this concept leads one to believe that they are somehow "within and of" the three-dimensional space that we're familiar with.  Of course, I'm hard pressed to think of a better analogy, but as an asshole, it's my duty to complain.

  • It seems to me that these "extra" dimensions only create an illusion of an extra dimension. Correct me if I am not perceiving these ideas properly, but in the manner in which they are described it looks like they are merely the same four dimensions of length, width, depth and time but on an micro atomic level. I interpret a dimension as a measurable plane of space so maybe I am simply not grasping it entirely. I am no physicist but this stuff is interesting.

  • @GrayHatH4x0r Nope, there you are wrong. Those Dimensions are not the same Dimensions. A Dimensions doesn't have to be space or time, it's (don't bit me for that bad metaphor) like a marketplace were Strings can interact on by combining to annother, String, what we can see as a particle event, or simple as e.g. electromagnetic force

  • Comment removed

  • Michael Green came to our school to do a talk this year!!

  • scientists have a habit of proving things that seemed impossible to prove in the past.

  • @stopthesoftkill obviously. :p

  • @stopthesoftkill Yes, that would be because as life goes on we have a better understanding of an exceptional amount of things (such as the string theory) through a lot of mathematical problems being solved one by one.

  • @XxDeapAbyss It's funny you say "better understanding"...so far,humans did not understand much besides "this makes this do this",and if you look at EVERYthing people noticed in the world-it's exactly that.

    Finding that something makes something work does not aid in understanding the universe,it's simply bashing your head onto mechanics,believing you gained a different result,it's mechanical insanity-looking deeper and deeper to the machine,yet ignoring the fact they got no idea What it all is.

  • This is all well and good theoretically but how can we test this?

  • Wow... This is just... What I wanna spend the rest of my life doing

  • One of the most inspiring things ever seen.

  • The way we view things is limited. The way we think about things is limited. We have 5 senses, but each of those senses only picks up a small range of the different existing spectrums. We are macro-sized beings and therefore we have a mental bias in our visualization. We think of the Earth pulling in space and exerting gravity on the moon, but in reality the earth is composed of a giant number of particles or strings interacting gravitationally on space. I think extra dimensions makes sense.

  • so far off . its more liked we are ants and the next demension is mars beyond our ability to completely understand. we understand protien structure on the atomic scale

  • im 15 and am fascinated by this stuff( physics, quantum mechanics, etc) but it seemd like every time i try to learn something about them i get a MASSIVE headache.....maybe my brain is trying to tell me something...

  • I'm gonna need some Pym particles for this one.

  • i dont get it :-(

  • But then again string theory predicts that

  • 4:43 russel teapot

  • 6:06 Holy cow. Is he feminine?

  • OK so, this guy said that their are 6 dimensions that are just to small to see. Why couldn't there be dimensions that are too large to see. considering the size of the universe is unknown, and we have yet to discover even the slightest fraction of it. their might be life on a much much larger scale. maybe im just blaze -_-

    P.S. have they tried putting anti-matter into the equation?

  • So would that mean that magnetism and gravity are in their own dimensions and what we see or get the effect of it are the overlapping of its dimensions and ours?

  • @944Nima I guess.. the math probably only requires 10. I would have to understand it before I can judge it. lol

  • @944Nima You made a large assumption jumping between 9 to 10.

    You say 9th dimension is a volume of every possible 6th dimensional universe. I understand that and agree. But why does it stop at 10.. why cant 10 be a line representing every possible 9th dimensional universe, 11 be a plane, 12 be a volume, 13 be a line of 12's. so on... why 10.

    10 is not an important identity, and it doesnt have any significance in terms of convergence like 1, 0, infinity, e and pi.

  • 0:38 "string theory predicts it" -- No, string theory requires it!!

  • i dont see how multiple dimensions are confusing. you just have to know where to look not with your physical eyes but your third eye of perception. it depends on the kinds of energies and remember these things that you do not see follows a law like mathematical equations...with dimensions you have the same time in a different scenario results from what the energies calculated. we can talk about diff. dimensions but it all goes down to TIME.

  • I dont like how they claim that our universe is created of a finite amount of anything.. 10 dimensions? Our arabic math is based on how many fingers are on our hands. Why 10...

  • physics is so trippy

  • This video is kind of old they do not include the newly discovered and bettter mathematical fit of 11 dimensional physics.

  • 6:10 Here Comes My 21ct Einstein

  • love this!

  • I thought the strings were supposed to all exist in the 10th dimension.

  • I'm a bio major, that six-dimension thing makes me think of protein folding structure!

  • @ahfat83 it really is not limited to any sort of folding protein structure... these dimensions are far below anything we know about biology... so yeah, leave these things to the physicists ;)

  • @ahfat83 it really is not limited to any sort of folding protein structure... these dimensions are far below anything we know about biology... so yeah, leave these things to the physicists ;)

  • @DoctorYoon no need to be a dick, he didn't even say that the dimensions explain why or how a protein folds, he just said it reminds him of it, the way it looks, etc. It's just like the examples the dude in the video is giving: just comparable examples.

  • this video very clearly explains the different dimensions. lovely.

  • @WhereToGoist still they didn't mention Calabi-Yau Manifold

  • The earth is flat. End of story.

  • @omgvids144 The earth is spherical. we have images of the round Earth. we have satellites constantly in orbit. in fact if the earth was flat, every celestial object would be flat too and thus the sun would not appear to be a circle. also the warps and curves in space causes the force of gravity. if the earth was flat, gravity would cease to exist. still don't believe me? seek a psychiatrist. lol.

  • @FallofDarkness55 Clearly I was joking...

  • @omgvids144 HAHA, fallofdarkness is a dumbass

  • I am thinking those strings could b paths of travel of each electron or waveing particals around the nuclie which are crossing each other,trying to close in the spaces which also cause intanglment in atoms and every atom is interconected by the absolute timeless spacess they r sharing or r attached to,the spaces of absolute have diffrent sizes,depending on crossing of electron paths but all have the same amount of energy,which is absolut zero,or infinite space forced in by limited mater.???

  • I say this 'strings' are another universe 6:23 multiverse? :D

  • Sometimes, it feels like scientist pull these theories out there ass.

  • @obsessivechickx It feels like ignoramuses don't know how to shut up

  • @Valagetti So why don't you?

  • @obsessivechickx because I'm not a ignoramus, Don't watch this stuff, to only see you discredit it. People have worked hard for this and you dont even know the first thing about it. So shut the fuck up!

  • @Valagetti So defensive. You must be an angry person.

  • @obsessivechickx It must suck having to blame your shortcomings on the scientists because you're too dumb to understand what they're saying. =/

  • Worst analogy ever, a dimension like a line that is wrapped in an outer dimension, and then makes it analagous to our dimensions and a curled dimension smaller than an atom? No wonder people are confused...

  • @nukemm33 Do you have a better analogy?

  • @christheferal I'm sure I could think of one, although I must say that I'm not the one producing instructional videos on string theory. I do understand the need for your remark though, if I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem. Thanks for taking me down a peg. That was three months ago, I'm sure I was in a pissy mood due to some irrelevant temporary circumstance.

  • @nukemm33 Err, I was actually legitimately asking if you had a better analogy because I've been looking for one. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • so your telling me i need to forgot about atoms as being the smallest molecule?

  • @murphyman12345 Atom isn't a molecule O.o

  • @murphyman12345 No. Atoms are still the smallest "molecule." This is talking "particles."

  • trying to explain extra dimensions with 3d images must get phisycists pieced the shit off...

  • multi-universe, multi-dimensions? Multi-time and multi-gravity?

  • 4:34 a "curl" would just be fluidly moving through the x,y and z axis at the same time. Not another dimension. wtf? someone explain to me how that could be wrong. just because size and perspective changes doesn't mean you can just make up whatever sounds cool.

  • @pyrosk8ur123

    haha yeah, and when they try to show the ant, at the scale of the new dimension, it moves around the circular motion of the "dimension", when all it's doing is moving along heigh and length.. namely the x and y axis?

  • @pyrosk8ur123 ahh, however i believe that us thinking it's just on the x,y,z axis is an optical illusion, and that we would percieve it to be only moving along the 3 spacial dimensions... To see the other dimensions that strings move on we have to look at the maths? this shows the strings moving in a way different to that allowing them to do so in the normal 3 spacial dimensions

  • @tehleet33

    You have to take what facts you have to come up with the most logical explanation. Otherwise, you could use your imagination to come up with an infinite amount theories, dimensions, etc. In my opinion, the String Theory is inconsistent to the general makeup of the world. By that I mean everything is made up of spheres. All the way down to the parts of an atom, all the way up to the parts of the universe. With that said, it only makes sense to me that the existence of our universe is

  • @pyrosk8ur123

    ..contained within a spherically designed dimension or a counterpart to an abundance of different parts that mesh to form a sense of spherical being. Everything has a balance and a counterpart, EVERYTHING. String Theory, to me, does not seem to support this fact but of course it could if the other counterparts that allow our existence mesh with it, then possibly. I only have the basic knowledge of the ST but ultimately it doesn't seem to fall into my world of possibilities.

  • I can't understand Dimentions!! what does that mean if we could fly to one of these dimentions???? where are these Dimentions in space? how many of them does exist...

  • these type of documentaries are made very simple for us to understand physics but I'm sure many people like me still get confuse! honestly these people are geniuses who trying to read the mind of god.

  • @hamizshab what is god? never heard of this word before.

  • @hamizshab wrong.these people are gods

  • mann... classical physics in high school is so damn boring compared to this

  • newton was high on weed when he discovered gravity.seriously who the hell brainstorms on why an apple fell

  • oh man it's getting late, but I can't stop watching these guys.... only 5 more

  • did you ask newton if the apple hit his head or not. you must have know him. time is not a river but a web in which each and ever decision that is to be made is made in different times and continue. Quantum Mechanics explains this

  • Wrong,time is not a dimension,is a direction.Time cannot be a dimension.Imagine an 11 story building.the fourth building is time,a temporal dimension,wont the rest of the stories fall?Its just a dimension where u would be able to move forward and backward in time,think of time as a river.Similarly the flatlander(1 dimensional beings)can only go forward in one direction whereas in the fourth dimension is a dimension where time can be folded.

  • @KaminariKatta someone already solved that problem, check out 10thdim, he has a vlog about that kind of stuff.

  • @shoshanish lol he just copied it straight out of 10th dim, how original :L

  • @KaminariKatta Space and Time are not two dimensions. Einstein proved that spacetime is one dimension, or that the two "dimensions" or space and time are actually interwoven. Don't call people wrong before you bother to learn something about something.

  • @BodeTheJedi Yes,thats what i was saying dumbass.

    People are saying our 4th dimension is time,its not

    Its speculated to be spacetime.

    Time is a direction.Not a dimension.

  • The ultimate equation that defines everything is:

    1+1=2

  • @ShadowconLM14 I + I = a window

  • shoe-string theory?

  • XD @ 6:06 that guys voice lol

  • I think string theory is correct since probably nobody believed any theory of science or physics in the middle ages either, but now we clearly see that they are correct. Maybe in the future the advanced technologies will allow people to see that string theory is correct.

  • I mean, I think is obvious that something happen between people when they interact when they "stay toghether" it's like empathy...are they just bad jokes of your mind or it's that our multi-dimensional part? (like an astral body or something) I dont think we need to know it to all costs... anyway it's just like this! [if people think the Realities are "real" so what it's not believed to be real it can be real.

    E.U.Sucon (Nobel prize 2010) ]

  • hmmm....energy=mass? or is mass of everything really = 0?

  • @akashmathew

    well Einstein said that E = mc^2

  • @Illyrien yeah but if mass is really bound energy...

  • @Illyrien then again, maybe its just beyond me....for now...

  • female physicists are so fugly

  • The actor playing the german bloke is excellent.

    Robbed of an emmy.

  • the guy at 6:10 sounds like a pimp =P

  • @MMOareFTW This guy who sounds like a pimp is probably the smartest people on this planet :) hahahaha PIMP :) dude.... please!

  • I just cant imagine what these guys are talking about. they are giving a 4th 0r more dimention, using 3 dimentional diagrams.

  • saying that we cant see stuff is fucking gay... come on we need to see stuff to believe in it

  • the idea is infinity, this goes into atoms have substructures, that have substructures, that have substructures, infinitly. if you get my drift

  • I like turtles!

  • god, please, let me share blackboards and drugs with this guys!!!

  • If you cant shoot it it ain't there

  • i think it's interesting that metaphysics i now catching up with spiritualism.......Mystics have been talking about vibration in everything forever. I am loving this marriage developing where each can validate the other.

  • This seems somewhat convincing but when you dicover smaller units of anything those units have to be made up of something else.  I know they don't actually mean literal strings but energy in a form resembling strings. but what is that energy? where does it come from? Greene says the "shape" and "frequency" of the strings is and effect of the space in an extra demension. but that still doesn't explain what that energy is. holy crap this isn't a blog sorry bout the length of this comment. oops.

  • Is that Brian Greene narrating?

  • So do the 6 dimensions exist outside of the 3 dimensions we're familiar with? or inside of them? do they interact? watdafuckman?

  • so what are those 6 extra dimensions made of?

  • @Kastralis Pasta

  • @Kastralis

    Space, I'd guess. Or, maybe chicken soup.

  • Maybe God is organizing an orchestra, and the Universe is the symphony xD it's easy to get carried away when they make science look so epic.

  • LMFAO @ the guy's voice at 6:07.

  • even i want some of it ! stevo..!

  • i like cake!

  • Extra dimensions do exist. String theory is right. The reason why you can't perceive the extra dimensions is because over time the human mind has evolved to use the least amount of energy. If you can refocus your energy to perceive the world around you using more of your visual cortex for thought... you see amazing things. Humans have settled for what society sees as reality because if everyone can't see something then it isn't real... its minds eye.. but these things do exist in real time

  • @Ledamonster ^ Truth.

  • I belive that just because we crack open atoms we find smaller things inside. If we didnt crack them open, they would be empthy.

  • and this literally means our own inter dimensionality too!

  • I think everything is one big mind-fuck that god uses to keep us guessing as to his existence. We will never know the answer.

  • i had taken my ambien before bed one night and happened to stay up longer than i should have and i slipped into a thought process where things were melding in my head where i was having revelations but could never find a notepad.

  • BTW, has anyone here played Gothic 1 with English dubbing? That Joseph Lykken totally sounds like Y'Berion.

    oneworldkingdom: If you ever visited elementary school, you should know that triangles, squares, rectangles, circles and all the like are part of planimetry. These object exist on 2 dimensional plane. Tetrahedrons, cube, cuboids, sphere exist in 3 dimensional space and are part of stereometry.

  • I like it, its logical

  • I have a feeling that, underneath those strings and dimensions, we probably are going to find even more things on a even smaller scale.

    Ugh, things would be so much simpler if atoms actually were the smallest unit in the universe.

  • I would completely agree with you

  • @LastEmperor92 nothing is simple

  • @LastEmperor92 where's the fun in that?

  • @LastEmperor92 i dont even get wat an atom is. if everything was made of atoms which are circular how come you can make a square? i did this thing in maths where we got circles tried put into a square it does'nt fit cos of the round edges. cos they are tessellating. these guys are stupid who ever came up with the atom. a better explaition would be tessellating object like triangle or a square.

  • @airpower123 The atoms are so small that when they are put together on a grand scale it doesn't make a difference whether they are round are not. If you look at a lattice structure or something like that you can see that the way they atoms are put together form a square. The problem is that they're never big enough in those diagrams but if you imagine something like salt one million times bigger, thats how you would get a square. =D

  • @airpower123

    lol have you been watching or not? Isn't it clear that electrons travel around the nucleus. So an atom has no constant shape!

  • @alquiora wtf how do u even kno this? have seen an electron moving around an nucleus. dont give me shit.

  • @airpower123 Go back to school dickhead

  • @LastEmperor92 That would be no fun, I am excited to know that the rabbit hole still goes deeper.

  • @AlohaBay no way, i just want there to be a god already so i cant put an end to my endless urge to know it all.

  • @LastEmperor92 Everything is made up of something so I say strings there probably is something smaller or if not there is something making them... The hardest thing is to figure out is how the hell did all the atoms and strings began in the first place? guess we will never know and never will

  • @LastEmperor92 And as self important humanity is, we're microscopic compared to the Universe.

  • @psynema

    Arent we the universe?

  • @libbern we are only a part of the universe.. lets put mankind as an example to the universe : 1 x 10 ^ 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000.. lets just stop there b4 spam alert.. :D

    (<3 einstein!) :D

  • @xmangosaintx

    A small change anywhere in the universe would change the initial conditions for the future development of anything else in the universe, including you and me, thus leading to a bigger change in your mind the further into the future we go... get my point? Look up chaos theory and determinism.

  • @libbern wow thats seriously lots to learn.. :D let me just finish up with string theory and blackhole.. ;D i wont take any stand now,those statement was just on what i know from the vids i watch on string theory..:D anyways thanks.. :D (appreciated)

  • @libbern like if that apple on the head thing hadnt happened, we would probably still be thinking gravity didnt exist, and einstien would have been considered crazy.

  • @shoshanish The apple on the head thing is false u noe?The truth is,newton juz saw an apple falling into the ground.What,u think that he would actually get hit by an apple????COME ON MAN,THATS FOR KIDS!

  • @LastEmperor92

    Unfortunately science is about truth and understanding not what is convenient.

  • @LastEmperor92 Ikr? See, this is exactly what happens when human beings stop giving god credit for the creation of the universe. Instead of just saying "God did it." We ask "Why does this happen?" or "How does this happen?" and then get closer to finding an answer that makes scientific and logical sense.

  • @LastEmperor92 thats not even the best part. Theoretically there is no smallest form of matter. theoretically, just like if you were to divide 1 by .5 forever, the answer would never hit an end. Or, having a point a and a point b , walking half the distance to point b from point a ,then walking halfway to point a , you would never reach point a or point b, rather the space between the two points continuously get smaller.

  • @LastEmperor92 well that wouldn't be much fun at all! I hope we never find the smallest unit.

  • @LastEmperor92 it would be simpler but its more fun when its more complex

  • @LastEmperor92 But they aren't and your first idea may spark ideas into other scientists. strings might be made of something, and that would pour additional dimensions into our universe/

  • @LastEmperor92 isnt that what makes it exciting?

  • @LastEmperor92 i don't think it's going even deeper. with the atom theory, everything was made up of matter or energy. the string theory describes matter as rings of energy, making EVERYTHING energy. now there really is only a single building block that makes up everything else.

    even if there was something smaller, it wouldn't matter cus everything is already the same on string level.

  • The real question is. IF a unified theory of all is somehow explained, whereas these 6 dimensions exist an move to vibrate the strings that govern how all physics interact; what started the movement in these dimensions/strings?

    That will be the ultimate answer....and still seems to remain the biggest of all.

  • i believe that everything came about from the laws of a circle. for all things follow that basic rule. everything works in cycles. that also explains why the planets and stars are circles. awful simplicity will spawn infinite complexity. (research the game of life by john conway.) this can also explain why Pi is an infinite number. a simple ratio which spawns an infinite amount of digits. and zero is shaped as a circle because it is in perfect harmony and is the ORIGIN. or maybe im crazy

  • @larry89 ?

  • do you even know why the laws of a circle?

  • because everything moves in cycles. every single thing in the universe works in cycles. every single thing in this universe follows that one basic rule.. to return to its origin. even history tells us that. everything moves in a circular motion.. the seasons, life, the planets, EVERYTHING...

  • and why does everything move in cycles? why circles and not squares, squares are also a cicle

  • lol i don't know.. i couldn't tell you.. but i just know that it's the basic law of nature. yes squares are circles because they are both enclosed shapes.. but the square is just simpler.. if a shape created a universe.. a square would only have 4 dimensions.. triangles have 3 dimensions.. octagon has 5... decagon has 10... the circle has an infinite!

  • no. they all have 2 dimensions.

    But the circle is the most optimum shape because it uses the least amount of energy.

    Please don't try to combine physics with philosophy or poetry to much because they don't connect. Poetry loves physics but physics hates poetry.

  • they don't connect? everything connects! if you can't see that by now you're deluded. knowledge is knowledge whether it comes from science or experience or anything else. physics is just one part of the spectrum. can't rely on just one source to define it. i never claimed that my theory is true. it's just my own belief. of course the shapes all have 2 dimensions, but i was talking about something else. about how if a shape created a universe, the circle would create the most complex universe.

  • well there you have it, poeticly you're right, scientificly you're wrong.

    The circle is the most simple and ergonomic form to be. the circle or the sphere.

    So go read a poem or smth.
