Imagining the Tenth Dimension part 1 of 2

Check out the Scientific American article praising this project! http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/08/22/has-science-gone-vi...
Watch Imagining the Fourth Dimension for more about this idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN4KC_zlW4g
This approach to visualizing the fifth dimension is now seeing support from scientists at Oxford: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o87TkFOR_Js

This is the first part of the animation illustrating the concepts found in chapter one of the book "Imagining the Tenth Dimension - a new way of thinking about time and space" by Rob Bryanton, from tenthdimension.com

What's the name of the soundtrack you use at the beginning of all your vids and the soundtrack you use at the end of part 2? or do you make your own soundtracks?

[10thdim]

@Poowee117 That is from one of the 26 songs I wrote for this project, there are videos for all of the songs in my channel. This one is called Everything Fits Together: watch?v=6nAS2trDuck

Which tool did u use to make this video??thxs

[10thdim]

@unionceleste Most of this was built in Flash, while there are also a few 3D renders which were done in other programs and imported into the presentation.

I would like to use the concepts presented in this video to make a game. How can I adequately cite this information? Is this the original video?

[10thdim]

@RStE11 Yes, this is the original video, and it combined with the Part 2 video represents the ideas from chapter one of my book "Imagining the Tenth Dimension - a new of thinking about time and space" by Rob Bryanton. Google tenth dimension and you should be able to find my tenthdimension website quite easily.

And of course I would love to see what you come up with for a game, please keep me in the loop!

how could an object "move" in a two dimensional or three dimensional world? doesn't motion imply time and therefore another dimension?

[MrMihaly]

No, wait. The ant travelling on the mobius strip isn't aware of it's extra-dimensional world. Yes, it might exist, but the ant can't see it. The "just because I can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist" argument is not necessarily appropriate here. You're arguing something else. Aren't you?

@no0such0luck I'm sorry, I must have missed where God created gravity in the bible. Or do you not believe in that either? I'm not saying that the theory of these dimensions is as solid as the law of gravity. However, using the argument that it doesn't exist because it's not in the bible is just stupid.

[RStE11]

@10thdim I've looked into the subject a bit more (I'll just say it, it's a new version of tic-tac-toe, given that I wanted to be able to keep it relatively simple) and I've noticed there are some different results already out there when it comes to applying more dimensions to the game. Is there any way I could send you an explanation and get your input? I want to be sure I am doing this correctly.

Great video really interesting

Also I would have thought a 4d line would be a "Timeline".

[Poowee117]

@10thdim Thanks

I was wondering:

is there such a thing as a "fixed location"?

[zzombatt]

Goddamn this has been my favorite video for the past 4 years

I thought the fourth dimension meant seeing both the front diagonal and the back diagonal of a cube at the same time. Also there has been argued that the time could be the fifth or sixth dimension, not fourth and also because we cant see it, wouldn't it then be imprudent to name such higher dimensions as time?
