In the quantum universe, there's an undiscovered frontier, where the laws of our world give way to an entirely different set of rules. What interested you the most about this video?

I lost my seriousness when he suddenly started a conversation with a squeaky voice hahahha

[SecretEyeSpot]

If this wasnt animated i wouldve never accepted this idea enough to entertain it. Thank you

4d being: look at all these 3d peasants making fun of the 2d creatures.

[iciest.icy.n.icy.rice.]

Proving the third dimension to flat earthers is hard enough, Imagine giving them a theory of the 4th dimension.

If the mathematician even managed to draw a cube, imagine from there point of view its still only a line

[Knight]

the best episode was this episode. it made me think for days

[reapermerc]

That poor 2D guy was abducted by a 3D alien just to make a documentary

[kartikayrai]

Imagine being picked up by a giant Neil deGrasse Tyson like that poor thing

[amargaste]

I remembered Carl Sagan explaining this with an apple

I think he may have just ruined a marriage.

The third dimensional view is similar to what was showed in Interstellar movie - the time as another dimension where we could access any particular time just like 2D habitants could see everything with 3D view.

*Flat people* : _We could make a religion out of it._

A few years ago I watched a YouTube clip of Carl Sagan explaining flat world and the 4th dimension.... you k ow how people casually throw around “it blew my mind”, that was one of the most incredibly mind blowing things I’d ever heard... still mind blowing to me

[ericramos]

Now we can understand how can a 4th dimensional being can see us. They can go forward and backward in time which we can't. Like we can go up and down but a two dimensional being can't.

I’m very glad that science is finally catching up to spirituality

[jwentup]

that surreal feeling of amazement to know something you don't. some things are really out of our comprehension.

[nikeairjordanfly]

That’s maybe why alien ships can travel fast and do all this crazy maneuvers because in they’re dimension all of this is normal but In ours it’s stuff of science fiction

[billbedard]

Perhaps the best hour of tv I watched this year.
