In space, we got 3D. '4th' dimension is likely to be thought of as time, but not exactly the way we think of it. It scales to infinity so mostly breaks math, yet not. It's a Schrodinger's cat-esk thing. We all have a location at a point in time. How you moved (heading, velocity, acceleration and so on, I can only assume - until I check it. Then, I can still not be sure how you got to that point, so I reference check another point in time between the two. The smaller either the time and/or the change in point in space, the higher my degree of certainty that my assumption is correct, but I can never be sure, partially because my time does not equal your time. If I observed you the entire time, I can be almost certainly sure of the path you took and to explain this to a third party brings up this issue again and again.
You can technically just start adding dimensions(such as the aforementioned properties, but then your definition of 'space' is shifting by adding 'time' or 'acceleration' and so on. The major discussion is more around the definition of a dimension. It (the answer) changes on what you describe and where you draw the line - which depends on who wants to know and why they want to know (you would add more or fewer specifics.

I don-t get why people wouldn-t believe in more dimensions. Who-s to say they exist or not. We don-t know as of now, and just accept that there is information we don-t quite have a full understanding on as of yet. In the end however, why not wonder and question. What a bland life it would be to accept what you know in this world without any real questions, and nothing else. Humans have clearly mastered the way of life already, as far as comfort and peace of mind goes. We don-t know if there-s a God, we don-t know if there-s nothing at all other than the science we have come to understand. To claim there is a God and all of your specific religion is correct, is small minded. To claim science is the answer in the end, is small minded. Let us all ponder on the thought that we are absolutely the most insignificant things in this universe. At a certain point, we are no more important than the ant colonies we see here on earth, even if we are physically bigger and more intelligent. Whales are bigger than us. But it-s how we-re able to help each other, that-s what really matters. What were able to do and achieve as individuals and as a society.

I really enjoyed these kind of videos, it's very educational. Even though I didn't understand all of the things they are saying as I'm not capable of storing large information into my brain like they can and because English is not my first language, I still want to watch more.
Edit: I also love that the experts in these videos, like, encourage the people they are talking with to think and asks about their opinions or their current knowledge about the topic. They don't start off with explaining stuff and don't just let others listen to them. I wish this is what they do in schools, but I get that they were able to do this because it's a one-to-one conversation and not like any classroom setups where there is only one teacher/prof and then there are 40 or more students listening and wanting to share their knowledge.

not actually, 4rd dimension and beyond is just an infinitely stacked 3rd dimensions just like it is an infinitely stacked 2 dimensions, I can't be proven or perceived in a 3rd dimension. That's like telling a 1 dimensionally being to explain or move up and down, it can't be done. 4rd dimensionally beings can perceive and see all 3 dimensionally things, just as how if you draw a line between a 2d being and an object, they cannot see past the line, But we can see everything. The object and the being and the wall all at once.

Although the concept of a multiverse is absolutely fascinating, even to me, the only issue with it, is that, fundamentally, it cannot be proven. Ever. We will never be able to peek outside, or exit, this universe. So to speak about a multiverse in a serious way, exits the boundary of science, and enters that of philosophy or religion, both of which have no place in true science. So I respect Clifford's responses to such conjecture.

Ok so I might be terribly misunderstanding this, but I have a question. If we have two branes that are wrapping or mushing or mixing together to make a higher dimension, how does it add up? If we had a 3d brane and a 2d brane would that make a 5d brane, or would you need two 4d branes to make a 5d brane?
Also can someone simplify what a black brane is?

-A- for the physicist explanation to the 8 year old. This guy is a better teacher than the astrophysicist on another posting explaining gravity. -A- for the information to the teen. -A-- for the concepts explained to the college student. -A- for teaching the grad student. -A/A-- for the expert. I could learn for him, even up to the post-graduate level.

theoretical physicists trying to explain dimensions is funny. especially when spinning globes come into the discussion or time, which is a measure, not a dimension.
the higher dimension are not outside of us, they are inside the singularity of the hyperboloid/toroid center of plane of inertia. terms may not be right but the concept is.

After an interruption for an ad for lip filler I get to watch this guy try to explain multidimensional space on a 2d chalkboard while the poor kid struggles to pretend like he can keep up, and I was instantly reminded of why my time in college was wasted. Then Clifford politely throws him under the bus.

I noticed how they're debating amongst themselves believing how their point of view is most possible than the other i. e. their perspective amongst an infinite unimaginable possibility, which they themselves consider is not imaginable. Truly, the smartest seems more ridiculous at this point
