    This is by far the best explanation of 4th dimension space I've ever seen. But still we cannot truly perceive how a 4th dimensional object would look like as this is beyond our reality of existence same as a 2D being cannot visualize the 'z' axis (height) as it's beyond their reality. They cannot conceptualize the idea of moving up and down.
    It's so amazing how 2D shapes spectacularly changes by just adding 1 more dimension to it.
    Square = Cube
    Triangle = Pyramid
    Circle = Sphere
    Now just imagine by adding one more dimension to 3D (Brain not working Error 404).
    We just can't imagine how a 3D object would change to a 4D perspective even if we try to come up with the idea of Tessaract (Hypercube) or whatever it is we are still seeing a projection of it but from 3D perspective. We just cannot visualize how the 4th axis works in motion. It's like explaining an object which is perfectly cube and perfectly sphere at the same time. For us it seems illogical but for a 4D being it may be possible.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but this is how I understand by not understanding the Great 4th Dimension.

      Idk but imho I think you got the point better than some who are trying to use the fourth dimension to explain ufos or ghosts(whatever cannot be conventional explained really), for all I know or understand maybe the 6th or 11th dimension explains them.
      I think the greatest quality a person can have is to admit they don't know everything (But it sure is fun to theorize and try to prove and disprove those theories).

    • @lordodysseus
      @lordodysseus Před 4 lety

      The thing about the Tessaract is it's just a 4D Cube/square/point. But here's the kicker: There are other higher dimensional squares. I've seen theoretical designs on the internet. They go all the way up to the eleventh dimension. And from what I've seen it's just adding more vertices to a Tessaract. It just shows we have no way of knowing what is beyond 3D

      We can 100% perceive it, the brain and eyes are capable. Salvia opens an access point to time and dimension travel, many people have experienced going down to 2d, when I returned from a trip I had full on 4d vision. The best I can describe it is like x-ray vision, you can see the outline of every angle and dimension of an object.

There may be another dimension but I think it would have to be in another parallel universe for there are only 3 in this one and time.

    My first exposure to the concept of Flatland came from a Carl Sagan video, in which he used an apple and an ink pad to demonstrate the view a Flatlander would have of the apple passing through its living space.
    I have seen several other videos since then, and yours, The Lazy Engineer, to me, explains this the most clearly.
    I wonder about this often.

    Understanding the 4th dimension is basically looking at yourself. You look in the mirror and you see your physical self, but you also have thoughts(which exist electromagneticly) and you have a electro magnetic field that surrounds your body, produced by your heart so we are 4th dimensional beings. Our body's being a physical shape but only another shape which is within more bigger layers of the same shape which are just energy. BUT IS VERY MUCH THERE JUST AS YOUR BODY IS. and learning to see these energetic aspects of yourself being your "aura" and beginning to identify back with your aura as we're supposed to is entering 4d than 5d than higher dimensions.

So again He resurrected after 3 days after doing that stuffs... when He became alive, He started to show His personality as a God, that can disappear and just appear out of nowhere... then after teaching the Disciples what to do, He finally left them, flying to the sky like a light..

      @Useless Virus _ In fact 4D image is possible only when we are able to see objects under the effect of their speed and the gravitational field that they are in, together applying these to ourselves. In other words, you have to add how deformed an object in reference to your own deformation (in reference to your speed and gravitational field), when you observed that object. The rest is mathematical abstraction.

    Spot on dude, I like how you go back to the basics by relating and understanding how 2d Flatlanders are living a certain reality and it causes them not to be able to see 3d but once a 3d object passes through the 2d reality they can identify it only so far as shapes not the whole 3d object
    I really like this video because us as 3d beings will always have a hard time, even mentally (forget about physically this earth is 3rd dimension we will never see something from the 4rth dimension pass through this Earth with our natural sight) but mentally with our minds we can imagine it and understand it heck there are more more than 4 dimensions who knows how many...!!??
    that is what you were bringing to the table to first understand how 2dimensions peeps would go about imagining about 3d so that we can do the likewise and from a 3d reality imagine 4d...
    Really cool stuff and yes there are other videos that point with that same direction that 4d is like "in and out" like it's crazy we would be like transparent or something who knows let ur mind be free and think out of the box with it thats what I'm gonna do! Peace man

    09:00 Flat landers can't point to the 3rd dimension, so without a direction to "stack" a bunch of 2d cross sections (up or down), there's NO way they could picture the 3d object...
    especially with how hard it is to even A) figure out what shape the 2d object is looking only at a flat line (cause again no height all flat-landers see all the time is varying line lengths. So to even picture the 2d shape or cross section of a 3d obejct, flat-landers have to rotate the 2d "plane" 360 degrees. Just like we have to rotate a cube or the objects shown in this video to even picture them as 3d creatures living in a 3d world.
    And B) picture stacking all those memorized 2d cross sections in an unknown direction

It would start as a point, then become a line growing longer and longer and then shrinking until it became a point again. There would be no way to distinguish the two from each other. A 2D creature could not even tell you how far the object is from itself because to it, an object that is closer would look exactly the same as a bigger object further away.

I'm just wondering a bit. Not trying to disagree.

      @@XlWolfMaster Lol. Meditation on a solid dose of psychedelics. You’ll likely see geometrical shapes that should be impossible to observe. Why? Idk. I guess the brain isn’t bound to constructing 3D geometry when you’re in those states isolated from your senses.
      I have no idea how to give a worthy description of what you can see, but you can see a square from what seems like a 4D perspective. You’ll see all sides of the square, even the inside and outside, from all angles at the same time while noticing its shape/relationship in time, which makes absolutely no sense intuitively at the current moment. Isn’t that called a tesseract/hyper cube or something?
      All I can say for certain is that it’s absolutely beautiful. Hahaha

Is there flatlander schools where these ppl go to learn about all things flat . Man the show 1 a rubix cube and all hell would break loose a cube made up of many small coloured cubes that can be moved without leaving the mother cube, would be like 3d man from the 3rd demention, Runaway before he put us in that strange coloured object thats not of our world run for your lives.

    It is very likely for TIME to be considered a dimension. Because all our 3-dimensional world passes through the vector of time as well. In my opinion, time is indeed a dimension, but is it the 4th?
    The thing is that Time is a dimension that can be perceived even by the 'flatlander' too. Even by a 'linelander', if we think about the concept of a single dimension being whose perceived world is only a line, instead of a plane.
    Therefore if time could be considered as a 1st universal dimension. And there may be more, but obviously, we are unable to even imagine the concept of what they could be.
    We live in a 3D world, and we are created to perceive the 3D world. We are absolutely limited to it, the same way as a flatlander is limited to his 2d World. A flatlander obviously can't perceive the 3d World, he couldn't imagine the concept of it, because he is not constructed for that. he is limited to only see his 'lines' surrounding him, which for us are 2d shapes.
    Imagine a flatlander being aware of us, 3D beings, which at a single sight we can perceive everything about them, their whole world as it truly is...This fact is impossible and unreal for him, but for us is extremely simple to view it, understand it and manipulate it. For a 2D being, which here is called a 'flatlander', a 3D being would be considered a God. Omnipresent, all-powerful. and impossible to understand.
    Now... What is the 4th dimension? It is impossible for us to perceive that plane of existence. we are not constructed for that, we have no senses and no 'components' for it. For us, the universe is an infinite 3d world, and that is all we can perceive. What is beyond that? If there is a 4th dimension, it is definitely all around us, but we just can't perceive.
    And if there is the 4th dimension, there also must be a 4th dimension being, which we can't see, perceive or understand. And just the same way that we can see and manipulate the whole flatlander's world.. this 4D being can easily understand, see, and manipulate our entire 3D world way beyond our imagination, and for us, it would be omnipresent and all-powerful. Does that ring a bell?
    Now, if it does ring a bell to you about who this 4D being is, according to a certain famous book, we may also imagine that he is also able to manipulate time, not just our 3d space. So can we consider him as a 4D being, or a 5D being if we take the time-manipulating ability into consideration?
    Tell me your opinion about all this.
    I just described to you my own perception of the concept of God.

    Amazing video! For the flatlander to picture the 3D object, it was need to be introduced the concept of time, tho. As you said, He could not see the whole shape at once. Therefore, for him, the third dimention was his own two dimension moving through time. I know it's only the first video, but time seems important to picture higher dimensions from any given lower dimension. Am I wrong?

    • @TheLazyEngineer
      @TheLazyEngineer  Před 7 lety +13

      For him the 3rd dimension still isn't time, but his PERCEPTION of it is a CONSEQUENCE of time! Sure, the collection of observations were gathered during an interval of time, but the higher spatial dimension still exists completely independent of time. But like you said, it is useful (maybe even necessary) for visualization purposes in lower dimensional spaces. Really what time equates to in this is the act of collecting data/observations. Thanks for watching!

      For the 3Der to picture the 4D object, it is simple. Imagine a baby face, morphing to a kid face, morphing to a juvenile face, morphing to an adult face, morphing to an elder face, morphing to a naked skull. You have just imagined a single 4D object, by imagining multiple 3D projections of it!

    • @ffggddss
      @ffggddss Před 7 lety +5

      Yes, time is an extra dimension; but no, it isn't (completely) like the spatial dimensions; so it was good that you dismissed using time for that, early in this video.
      It could be, however, that a lot of your viewers might not grasp exactly why time couldn't be used for that.
      The answer lies in the way that time joins space to form spacetime; that is, in the role it plays in the spacetime metric. And the mere introduction of the concept of metric, opens a whole new can of worms, requiring a lengthy discussion in order to explain its relevance.
      What it boils down to, more simply, is how an n-dimensional object can be rotated in n-space. Dimensions that are truly equivalent, can be "mixed" with complete abandon in rotating objects. You can rotate a planar object (n=2) with a single degree of freedom (an angle); a spatial object (n=3) with 3 degrees of freedom; a 4D object (n=4) with 6 degrees of freedom; etc., and its shape remains unchanged. But in 4D spacetime, "rotations" that involve time, do not retain shapes. This is easier to see in 2D spacetime: 1 space + 1 time dimension. Because while the trigonometry in 2D space is purely circular, the trigonometry in 2D spacetime is hyperbolic.
      + John Smith:
      So, yes, that's a sort of 4D object; but, no, it isn't a purely spatial 4D object; it can't participate in ordinary rotations.
      +TheLazyEngineer:
      And BTW, what you repeatedly call "projections" in this video, aren't projections, but sections.
      You sometimes use the term, "slice," which is correct also.

  • @AbsoluteTruthKnown
    @AbsoluteTruthKnown Před 5 lety +3

    In order to see it properly you have to move the object through in one direction, rotate 90 degrees, move through again and rotate 90 degrees from the previous two angle. That is how you will only be able to see the object's true shape as a flatlander.
