Imagine a two-dimensional world -- you, your friends, everything is 2D. In his 1884 novella, Edwin Abbott invented this world and called it Flatland. Alex Rosenthal and George Zaidan take the premise of Flatland one dimension further, imploring us to consider how we would see dimensions different from our own and why the exploration just may be worth it.
Lesson by Alex Rosenthal and George Zaidan, animation by Cale Oglesby.
Dont we just love explaining 4D on a 3D Universe in a 2D Screen
by your 1D brain(not original btw)
Excuse me what?

You really do not understand how much I love this video
The music, the imagery, the explanations, the hook in the beginning of the video, the speaker’s voice, the little story about the 2D square, and the little part at the end where the speaker says, “Doesn’t that blow your little spherical mind?”
I LOVE THIS VIDEO

a quote from bill cipher
"you think those chains are tight? imagine living in the second dimension, flattened minds in a flat world with flat dreams. i liberated my dimension stanford, and i`m here to liberate yours,"
thats him. bill cipher.
Oh wow
@@shivam7156of
technicallly bill cipher is in from the 4th dimension
@@maskrlzxw6823 no he literally says he’s from the 2nd dimension
So basically, when a 3D sphere passes through the Flatland (2D plane), a 2D being such as the mentioned square will only see a 1D line changing sizes. But as we 3D beings can see from the top, they are actually 2D circular cross-sections.
..
Similarly, if a 4D sphere passes through a 3D world, we 3D beings can only see a 2D circle growing and shrinking, while in actuality it would be 3D cross-sections.
Nice this is the best summary
Ok I saw a video on this and it says
2 dimension species can only see thorough 1 dimension
3 dimension species can only see thorough 2 dimension
Implying 4th dimension species can see thorough our 3d world
This leads to an infinite series
(This also implies that we really are seeing the 3d world through 2d but with the help of light and it's perceptions we could figure out what 3d looks like, that sounds crazy)
Yes. But remember, that while the visual plane of the flatlanders is 1d, they still perceive and understand space as 2d, because they can perceive depth as brightness. Similarly, we can also only see in a 2d plane, but we to can easily perceive depth because of our two eyes and our brains.
@@serpentmaster1323 so how would a 1d world see? In 0 dimensions?
This summary is incorrect. 3D object visiting 2D plane, you see 2D object changing size. 4D object visiting 3D plane, you see 3D object changing size. So if you see 4D hypersphere in our dimensions, you’ll see a sphere changing size.

+MysteryHendrik yeah
what a bitch moove that was
I've often wondered if many (or all) of the supernatural things people have been claiming to see over the millennia (everything from demons/angels to ghosts, UFOs and even cryptids) are actually higher dimensional things passing through our 3D world like the sphere passing through a plane.
that actually sounds cool
GOD is almighty and he decide that for humans 3 dimension is a perfect
living place so if GOD send an angel to you he will make sure that the angel is 3 dimensional. But GOD is above every infinte dimension and every thing that exists.
In fact he is the one who created every single thing that exists in the Universe!
@@radd.q6117 OK, then.
Question: If "GOD" is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent...Why do most of his followers either ignore or bicker over HIS teachings?
Also, no one intelligent and compassionate blindly follows any one religion.
Also, nothing you said is "fact" it's just your beliefs. That's fine, but keep them to yourself. Your evangelizing is so exhausting for the people around you, I bet.

@@radd.q6117 God isn't real, and talk like this doesn't belong in the comment section of a scientific video based on actual math, science, and reasonable theory.

Actually, u can only see 2 dimensions. Just like a 2D shape can only see a 1D shape and a 1 D shape sees nothing. Only 4 dimensions can see 3D. Just imagine if u could see everything around u at every angle. U cant. But that's how actual 3D is viewed

If a 1 dimension line doesn't make a shadow, a 2 dimension square makes a 1 dimension shadow, a 3 dimension cube makes a 2 dimension shadow, de 4 dimension hypercube must make a 3 dimension shadow
Sorry for bad english
yep
Hmmmmmmm true I wonder what it would look like with my 3D mind.
AwesomeErik a cube would be my guess
That is not true a 4th dimensional being or shape would be just a 3D shape but it has time in its dimension, so it would just have a 2D shadow.

I have been watching Ted-Ed videos for the past few years and so far this one it's the greatest one I've watched. So awe-inspiring and moving.
Imagine you’re 4 dimension and your shadow is 3D. Doesn’t that blow your mind?
+Cardin Bui well for all we know so far, theres only 11 but I get what you mean.
+Cardin Bui a 3D shadow would look like a ghost
+Cardin Bui ADVENTURE TIME
Everyone thinks of shadows as something special. Quite frankly its not even there, its 'existence' we have given it is just an illusion. They are just an absence of light, like how cold doesn't exist either, just an absence of heat. That is why we have absolute zero and maximum darkness because they all depend of the absence of something. E.g. you cannot add more 'cold' to make an object go beyond absolute zero.
+QuantumBeing That is not the point -_-, imagine replacing every 3D object in the world with a 4D object and replace every 2D picture of an object with a 3D picture of an object O.O

Love watching TED Ed videos, been watching them for a long time, but this is the first time I've commented on one as this is definitely the best, most moving and beautiful ones I've ever seen. It just leaves you feeling great ... :)
In the era we live in now, it's important not to lose the gift of 'imagination', the thought of possibilities and magical ideas which our ancestors had but we now feel to be completely crazy...
I’m fascinated, that’s all so incredible, a little gout dropped from my eyes at the end.

We cannot imagine something beyond our limitations.
*Loki has joined the chat*
Tammy Xu My mind can pictures lots of Tesseracts
Yes
It's just bulshit brother he said extend 3 more lines perpendicular to the 3 existing lines, so basically each of the new line will be in the other 2 existing planes
What if flat earther aren’t crazy and they can only visualize in two dimensions?
That would be strange...
That's possibly the case, probably there's a 2d complex or something some sort of dyselexia thingy
We can only see in two dimensions. Our brain jus puts the images together to give us depth
Well all humans actually see the world in two dimensions. It’s just that lighting and things getting smaller/bigger let us know about depth. It’s like how the 2d shapes could only see in 1 dimension.
Ok
Great animation & explanation with a story to tell. Love the music. Thanks!

What if paranormal activity, things appearing and reappearing (ufos, supernatural phenomena) is something 4d accessing and exiting our 3d plane?
I watched a "scary" movie about a poltergeist, during witch the experts on the matter were talking of the ghosts being lost in another dimension, where there are no straight lines, ect. And then I thought the exact same thing. I think I have a new personal belief. Just think, in higher dimensions, time can actually be represented as a physical space. Knowing that, could our 4d (3 spacial dimensions and time )universe be inside a 5d space, where every moment in time is a physical area? so people who in our 4d universe who have been dead for a long time could still exist in a 5d world, hence why when they pass through our dimension, they look strange? IDK, but I know this rant is what I'll repeat when somebody asks if me if I believe in ghosts.
This idea is also a main idea in the movie 'Interstellar'
Wout Kops kind of. the 4th dimmension in that case is time. and the tesseract allowed cooper to access the bookshelf
+Barron Risling Well everything they do will happen at the same time. He will be both dead and alive.
It is impossible because it would break all the rules of physics and math(any 4D object has infinite mass and any 2D object has 0 mass). In a 4D world, a 3D "world" would only be a slice of the 4D world and 3D objects wouldn't exist
Wait so if 3D objects have a 2D shadow would a 4D object have a 3D shadow?
Assuming light and darkness function the same in the 4 dimension. Shadows are basically just spots of no light bro. Shadows are everywhere all the time there's just light coving them
yes
If 4d has 3d shadows it's like your clone now
@@SuperBabyMario0C actually he is right. In the fourth dimension they would have 3d shadows. Look it up
The wall on which your shadow would be printed is 3D but the surface is 2D no matter what.
Thats why the wall also needs to be 4D and you can't have 3D shadows in this world.
My little spherical mind is filled with wonder, thanks to this awesome animation!!
ive always thought of writing a book about a 1 dimensional world where the social hierarchy is based on how far up you are and since there is no way to go around others you are stuck in your section from birth to death. the story would then follow a dots journey of entering the second and third dimension to advance his species understanding and abolishing the 1d social hierarchy. but then i would always remember that i cant write.
I can write it for you.
I love this story because first it’s told to us with dimensions that we can understand, and then makes us think about the fourth dimension. Whenever I try to just explain the fourth dimension to my friends, they always get confused, but now I know to first talk about the third dimension compared to the second.
Why do I feel bad for the sphere when he can’t help square boi go to higher dimensions
Best thing I’ve watched this year so far. Thank you!

Draw 2 cubes one higher and to the right or left of the first and connect the corresponding vertices
That wasn't a Tesseract. A Tesseract can't be imagined or pictured in a 3D world. What appeared in the video was just the PROJECTION of a Tesseract in 3 dimensions - like we can project a cube on a two-dimensional plane.
@@untruelie2640 well it was actually projected at 2 dimensions, because the screen is 2-dimensional.
@@reinatr4848 No, it was projected in 3 dimensions. The screen replicates a 3-dimensional image on a 2-dimensional surface; yet it still appears 3-dimensional. The third dimension is width (or depth), which one can still perceive when looking on a screen.

Wait, if two dimensional objects are flat, and everything has height, even at a molecular level, does that mean nothing is truly two dimensional?

It's like more intelligent creatures can't understand even more intelligent creatures, but can understand less intelligent creatures than them.
But can't understand how the less intelligent can't understand them and how to explain it to them.
Lol, idk
+Evelina Stankevičiūtė yes!!! you are absolutely right. good way of thinking
Yeah, like how people cannot describe or explain what "green" is to a person who is color blind to green... Colors and other sensory perceptions are molded by the the "data" the brain processed from the inputs the sensors received from the outside world, I wonder how we, humans, a three dimensional species, can somehow perceive higher dimensions with our three dimensional mind. I am not talking about the hypercubes, or 4-spheres (4 dimensional spheres) that mathematicians (geometrists? Like how "geologists" are from "geology + -ist + -s") have come up with. I think those are more of "approximations" of the 4-D figure, like how we approximate a 3-D figure on a paper...
you are getting too philosophical here, calm down.
The only reason why hyperspace is important to us, is because physics gets easier in higher dimensions. The famous mathematician Riemann tried to explain all nature’s fundamental forces by adding more dimensions to our current dimension. He said that a force like gravity is just a ripple in 3 dimensional space and is caused by gravity in a higher dimensional world/universe. With his number theory he could describe every object in higher dimensions (unlike Euclidean theory which could only describe objects in a 2 dimensional world, with things like the number pi. However Euclidean theory was incorrect for the real world, because our universe has 3 dimensions. This is why there had to come a new theory about geometry which ultimately led to Riemann’s number theory). Centuries later Riemann’s number theory is now used in string theory, because according to this theory a force is just an consequence from the bending of a dimension. Now string theory tries to explain all the fundamental forces of nature (the nuclear forces, the electromagnetic force and gravity) in higher dimensions (10 dimensions to be precisely). So string theory is based on Riemann’s number theory, because the physics gets easier to understand in higher dimensions and maybe we can find the ultimate grand unified theory of nature with it. When we know what it’s final mathematics then are, we can calculate how much energy it will costs to create and open a wormhole (which we could use to escape our universes, when our own universe dies in the far future). That’s why you could say that such a grand unified theory really is a theory of Creation, because such high temperatures were only reached in our universes when the big bang took place and our own universe formed. When we have reached the temperatures needed to open a wormhole, a new universe is born and we could escape our own universe trough that same wormhole. If we want to survive than we have to escape in hyperspace in the end.
But probably we will never see a higher dimension than our 3D universe. It will only stay as math on paper
I say you are watching too many science fiction movies
Ok you started off great but turned a bit OTT towards the end. I highly doubt it would ever be possible for humans to travel using a "wormhole" if it were even possible for us to manually create one, we would die. This is nature remember, to say we can create wormholes would say we are god

A line is made of 2 points.
A square is made of 4 lines.
A cube is made of 6 squares.
So a hypercube is made of 8 cubes?
+ToadStar100 No cause, the hypercube it still got just lenght, height and direction, three values so it's still being a 3 dimension object, it's impossible for our mind to think about a 4 dimension object unless we see it.
+Naim Bensaed Zian Thats not true, no. As per the demo in the video, you have to stretch the cube in a 4th dimension, giving it more than just length, height, and width. You are correct though that it is extremely hard to comprehend without seeing it, which is impossible with our senses.
Eric "Ozzy" Osburn Well, yeah, I haven't got a clue of what the 4th dimension would look like.
+ToadStar100 I saw a video (I think it was Matt Parker's Royal Institution talk) which showed the 3D net of a 4D hypercube. It was 8 cubes. I think there were 4 on top of each other and then 4 around a single cube.
+ToadStar100 Nobody does, thats the nature of it. It is mentally and physically impossible to know what it looks like. Its super annoying I know. I have been interested in 4 dimension theory for several years now and I have read a number of books looking for an explanation. The unfortunate fact is we can only understand the 4th dimension through mathematics. We cannot visualize it. It sucks.
So, where can I find a 2 dimensional being?

I like the music! Because of this, I am seeing this video a dozen times.
Seriously the best presentation I have seen over the ascending dimensions. Well done.
We can't see a 4th dimension substance same with that a 2D can't see a 3d object. So, we can't say that we are the only living beings in this whole universe.
Of course. There's animals and bugs and plants and the whole shebang
You are acting as if this is real. LMAO
There are bugs?
*Starts the Debugger*
But those dimensions don't really exist
@@Tom-id7zr just if it passes through their world. The fact that we just see 3 dimensions means that we can just see a tiny fraction of our universe. The past and the future are an example of this, we can't see them no matter what because we can't move through the 4th dimension
Imagine some aliens take you and enhance your eyes / body to be able to perceive 4d world. When you came back, you literally a walking deity

This plot is good for anime or for movies
This is by far my favorite ted Ed video
This video is not just about dimensions and mathematics, its about a bigger question, in that what is out there?
We are very comfortable in our relatively limited way of thinking but if we open our mind to more possibilities, and that the unknown could be known if we are able to look outwards a bit more.
Curiosity is not a crime, its the first step to knowledge.

Amazing animation, truly amazing
Music from 'Thomas was alone' ?
Yeahhh, I recognised it straight away
Bummer that the authors didn't acknowledge it, specially if we consider that T.W.A. is about a 2D world.

Sounds a lot like Terraria too.
Xavi _ What about the game Fez? That game's about a 2d world turning into a 3d world.

Correct! Ted-Ed makes hard things easy! So much of amusement!
***** I bet you do, but this one is really great
String theory? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that is just a theory where we almost got everything, we almost can understand our universe but it needs 10th dimension to begin with?
