Tesseract is a word you've probably heard at one point or another in your life. But what is a tesseract, really?

10/10 explanation
Ok? What kind of bs is this.. Even if this was true, it doesn't explain how it would still be north when we're 180 days into the year and we'd be on the "other side of the sun, billions of miles away from the current position", the earth is stationary, this video is weak. Funny how he didn't explain the rotation of the earth around the sun in his fantasy model world
That part is easy to explain. We have a thing called parallax, where the supposed position of objects closer to us changes compared to objects further away from us. An example of this would be looking at the World Trade Center from the top of the Empire State Building with just one eye and with your arm stretched out and your thumb pointing up parallel with One WTC. Then look at them again with just the other eye, your thumb would appear to jump while One WTC doesn't appear to move at all (even though both your thumb and the tower haven't moved at all). The diameter of Earth's orbit around the sun is only about 187 million miles and only gives us a maximum range of 100 parsecs (326 light-years - 1 light-year is about 5.88 trillion miles). In the case of the North Star/Polaris, it's so far away (like the One WTC example) that even through our telescopes it doesn't appear to shift position. That's why the North Star/Polaris can stay relatively in the same place despite the fact we are constantly going around the sun; it's just so far away.
Man this is so inspirational. You make great vids, and even if you have a relatively 'low' view count you still keep grinding. Don't worry man one day the algorithm will finally understand your potential.
bro 3d model was very very veryyyy gooodd. Who is your teacher. How did you learn about it so accurately?? Bro you are so intelligent, please don't create a new concept for the world to study. I even can't study the my subject syllabus
bro you are extremely intelligent

Sooo over thousands of years the north Star Will change....I only need it for a lifetime and not thousands of years...wtf
Yes do t post more looks like you don't know shit😊
Idk about the the north star being in the place it is a “coincidence”
Very good video. Explained very well.
Brilliant video. Thank you
How come this channel doesn't have millions of views..
Great video. Polaris is pretty close to exactly North, but not exactly. It's not even the northernmost star. Its the northernmost bright star. Star trails with wide angle lenses, show it not moving. But telephoto lenses show a small circle, and telescopes show a large circle with many other dim stars inside that circle. If you want see or take a cool star trails photo (and bother the flat Earthers) go close to the equator. The star trails make two circles, or at lease opposite curves. You can't see the full circles. A video about that would be pretty cool..
What IF THE EARTH IS STEADFAST?
My question is, can Polaris be seen below the equator? If it can, the EARTH IS FLAT. SO...

Sir, in this video, I didn't understand, how the errors in the clock is fixed?? Like in the case of time dilation and clock of the receiver is also not atomic.
Why rubidium and caesium is chosen?
@@patitakalyansahoo1532 They are alkali metals which are unique in that they have one valence (outer shell) electron. This makes it easy for the clock to measure a single frequency to keep time instead of getting confused with other frequencies from other valence electrons that would share the same space.
@OnTheShouldersofScience thank you sir.
Hey the stars are moving.
I love watching videos on beginner methods because there's so much variety, for high level stuff it's really just CFOP and roux and things don't really change but beginner methods are ALWAYS different. I like this one, the second layer stuff seems like it's sort of derived from F2L concepts distilled down to one sequence and then I think learning one algorithm for the last step is probably less frustrating for most people than that wacky thing you usually see where you go corner by corner with the whole cube looking ruined throughout and if you sequence break anything in between the four it'll just quietly stay broken.
Great explanation! Thanks for breaking it down so clearly! It’s all about convection and heat distribution in a closed system! You know how to make physics interesting.|解释得很棒!谢谢你如此清晰地解释!这都是关于封闭系统中的对流和热分布!你知道如何让物理变得有趣。
Keep going you're so cool ❤
@@delulululululululu Thank you!
Finally a good explanation, ty!!
Thank you for providing all that knowledge to us. You are really a blessing to humankind .
Btw would a 5d world just have multiple different 4d slices?
@@CookieMage27 Yep!
I just like to imagine stacks of 3d worlds in the same spot and just choosing which one I want to be in, and a 4d being would be in more then one at once, great visualizer!👍👍👍
If you stop making videos, you have betrayed so many people like me. You have a gift for explaining stuff. Please never stop making videos. I don't know why you are such underrated, but I assume that if you increase the pace (maybe twice per week) then you'll hit a 100K easily.
@@SaeedNeamati Thank you for your support. I have a busy schedule in college right now, but I really want to continue making videos. There will be one soon!
Great explanation i heard about sonic boom ❤
Yes true , true true, but what about the stars that are straight up then? Shouldnt they move in a different direction? Since we rotate our earths axis, stars should rotate verticly not horizontaly. And why does the moon apear to be black and white at night and blue white at day? I'm just a stupid painter, but i can tell, i see true the moon.
What the stars straight overhead do depends on where you are on the Earth. If you are in North America, they should move East to West, just like the sun. The moon is gray, at night it appears white because the night sky is so dark next to it. In the day, the sky is blue, but you still see through it. So you see the moon with blue tint. Look at it with red tinted sunglasses and it will appear red. Same effect. If you could see through the moon, you could see stars, but you can't. And I mean real stars not dust on the lens of someone with a P900. Real stars are 100% named and charted.
Hi, this is my first time to see your channel. I looked up "Tesseract," since Chuck Missler talked about it in his video on Revelation 21, starting at the idea of 2 dimensions by Edmond Abbott, at the 12 minute marker to the 16th minute marker, if you would like to see his explanation and see a rendering of a "Tesseract" by Salvador Dali, Jesus Christ on the cross, very cool! I hope you might like to watch this video as it describes the Heavenly Jerusalem as a Tesseract in chapter 21! God bless you! th-cam.com/video/p289T0wvVRw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-Zz2XQgd21gF8qKd
Russians killing russians
great stuff! thanks
Most prestigious universities lecture that🧐 clearly shows those are not institutions of studies but indoctrination centers. lol I love how these western institutions kinder like always put themselves in a superposition, right and wrong at the same time. I fail to understand why someone with a doctrine qualification can believe that.. I guess they know if they spill the beans they will lose their honor and ultimately disappear, i guess thats the literal meaning of oath haha
So a tesseract is a real thing? It’s not just something that Madeleine L’Engle came up with in the book “A Wrinkle in Time?”
It seams the North Star is perfect proof that the heaven spins around the Earh - is always in same place for thounds of years. Earth is FLAT
What about the wobble? Explain that please
Earth is flat and stationary and the north star is fixed on the dome

Would be funny if UFOs 🛸 are just 4D objects looking at our weird 3D world 🌎
Excellent ❤❤❤
Flat earthers might say Nasa and the government just painted that North star in firmament..that is why north star appears always in the north.. another proof that the earth is flat 😅
Also, I have already written down my email by the time you see this comment
Thank you so much for choosing me as the winner. I liked your videos a lot and really enjoyed them. And because I'm only in grade 5, I wasn't allowed to have access to computers, ipads, or phones very often. So I came back to check the video about Mercury today after I commented and found out that I've been chosen, apologies for replying so late.
No worries at all! Congratulations for winning :)
Hi Ben, I'm so proud of you!! Alana told me about your channel. Your work is incredible, now I can learn from you. Keep it up! With love from Frau Diane (Your first grade teacher)
非常好视频
Fabulous.
It won't do that either, in 10,000 years it won't be the North Star anymore, then Vega will be the North Star
