- Real-life flatland! In this video I use micro-thin layers to simulate two dimensions to see if life could exist in 2 dimensions instead of 3. I use my drawing on water technique to show you how weird a two-dimensional world would be. Then I show you some other problems in 2D such as having a digestive tract. Then I talk about Conway's Game of Life and if that is truly alive or not.
Also, watch me hit 1 millions subs! Thanks everyone!

@Deborah Ajao nah he’s good because he’s just chill unlike most youtubers
It in my opinion was just wholesome that you can tell her is really excited, be just isn't expressing it in a super obnoxious way
I remember once, me and a few friends discussed that, for a 2D being, us interacting with them would amount to something "popping in and out of existence." So, to them, we'd be Eldritch Abominations, Ghosts, Demons, etc due to not being able to quite explain what they experienced.
That'd be a good setup for some Cosmic Horror story.
What if our Ghosts are actually 4th dimensional creatures?
do you mean those 2d projections of a slice of human, including the organs? or do you mean a line
Read Flatland.

Can there be a llfe in 3 dimensions? As we can see -- no organism without tubes in itself can sustain life in this miserable dimension....
Carl Sagan did an awesome demonstration on life in two dimensions. First of all he essentially said that no matter what shape the life form is in, all it would be able to see in the world is straight lines with absolutely zero thickness.
He used paper shapes for the example and mentioned that even paper (or really any object in our world) is not a perfect example because it does have some thickness

@@mycontentisbetter.3637 your response is “cringe”. Go outside.
There could be "tubes" if it was fitted with several "hooks" making the tube a serie of "airlocks" that would open and close successively. But otherwise for digestive processes, it's probable the best solution would be to vomit the end-product... Sorry. But this is how it'd work at the cellular level, and I'm sure it would be the same macroscopically.
This was my very first thought when I read of the same "digestive tube" problem in one of Stephen Hawking's book.
The analysis in the video (and in Hawking) is formally right, but it lacks imagination...
It does work in macroscopic animals. Jellyfish, for example. They are single orifice animals.
In 2D, they cannot see inside a circle without breaking it
In 3D, we can see inside a circle but not inside a sphere
Which means in 4D we can see inside a sphere without breaking it
Right?
Yes you are right! A 4D being would be able to see inside of any three-dimensional object without opening it. Just as in three dimensions we can see inside of a circle without opening it but two dimensional creatures cannot see inside of the circle like you mentioned
This really helped me understand dimensions more accurately... Thanks !
Very neat way of explaining dimensions 👍🏻

The moment mario skips his power up was just one of the most un satisfied moments ever
5:03 no, that's not true. You can still have a tube system the say way that, for example, canal locks like the ones in the Panama Canal work, alternating one another on opening anc closing while the element passes and is processed.
We're not just open tubes, the same way in nature membranes aren't just permeable all the time.
All I heard was BLA BLA tubes BLA BLA closing BLA BLA
If the tube where nutrient comes in, oxygen comes in, and waste comes out where all the same hole, then the organism wouldnt have to be split in half. It would be very wierd to shit out of the some.hole you eat food with, but it might work.
Joseph Paulson
True.
Ben Mars, I heard nothing, I only read it.
Ben Mars you should probably see someone about that, hearing voices is bad news.
Canadian Professor Alexander Dewdney wrote a novel on the topic, The Planiverse. It talks about life in a 2D world with 2D physics and how things might work. Gets into a lot of detail, including talking about how people climb over others, and how zipper organs are used to make digestion work, and proposes electrical systems and all kinds of technology. Good read if you're really interested in the topic.
abj I agree , it's a great book that really helps you understand the full concepts of 2d existence.
The biology was extremely interesting, as was the concept of engineering gears on a 2d surface.
For a 2-dimensional creature to climb over something, it would have to be able to ascend into the third dimension. A 2-dimensional being would be aware of forward - backward, and side to side. Coming up against an obstacle, it would only think to go around it and not even contemplate the option of climbing over it, as the concepts of down and up are beyond its comprehension.
Mark Lane271 Why do you assume up and down are the ones that out of question?
Most people think of 2D as up, down, left, right
You know, like a 2D game
Seems strange you've randomly decided that up and down would be the nonexistant directions

What would vision be like in a 2 dimensional world? Wouldn't everything we see be a line?
Yes I should have mentioned that! Vision would be just seeing lines you wouldn’t be able to see any shape, just lines. Kind of like in three dimensions we really can only see a two dimensional
Yeah, a line. But there would still be things like perspective and colors and you could still make out the shapes of things. Like the way you can tell what a cube is in 3D even though the image formed is 2D.
Deba Kun Well, you would not be able to see at all. Light is a wave that propagates in three dimensions (the wave vector, electric, and magnetic fields are all orthogonal to each other), so in a two dimensional world light could not even exist.
Daniel Espinosa Gónzalez *light as we know it
The answer to all questions you might have is Flatland. It's a definite must see in my opinion. I haven't read the book yet but I heard it's good too.
you wouldnt be acle to get the second arm to the other side of your head, youd have to climb with one arm and a leg
Ha, ha, good point!
hell yeah got a reply from a 1 mill utuber :D
The whole premise of this video was covered back in the 80's in a book called "The Planiverse", by A.K. Dewdney, even covering the topic of a digestive tract that bisects the body. Pretty fascinating book.
I just posted the same thing. Guess I should have scrolled before posting. Still, it IS a good book. Glad I'm not the only one who read it. :-)
Cool. I had read it in Stephen Hawking and thought he had came up with it first.

Sometimes and idea about 2 dimensional universe pop up in my head and every time it is very entertaining thought, because there is much aspects you can think of about 2 dimensional being and at the same time it is always super unusual and surprising, so this is a great video, but it is absolutely not enough
3:03 So THATS why dora never goes the obvious way!
2 dimensions are always imaginary ! For example when you draw a circle, a circle is always an imaginary concept ! No matter how small will be the height, it will become a cilinder in 3 dimensions !
Shadows and 3d objects intersections with planes are 2d
ya. shadows are 3d. photons are 3d.
@@NoWarInBaSingSe Well shadows are created by photons but actually only occurs on surfaces which makes it 2d. Anything that can exist entirely on a surface or face is 2d.
Nope. I'm Charles Darwin that doesn't mean I don't love physics I only love biology. nooo. But whether shadows are 2d or not is a great point for debate. I'm just a teenager. Not a scientist. I don't have much knowledge but ya this is a great point of debate. Let's ask vsauce!
@@NoWarInBaSingSe I'm going to have to disagree. But I think to say that a shadow is 3d you must say that shadow has volume. No one will say shadow has depth or volume. Only surface area. Therefore it is 2d
The concept is very cool

You could live as a 2D being if the food was ingested and digested from the same opening.
There's a reason we don't have acid in our mouths
2 way digestive tract?
Yes, that's the only strategy for 2D animals, and many 3d animals do that too.
Chad Shetterly no it could be normal but just it can open and close. like cell membrane
Wow! Finally one million subs! It's just yet another round number, we made it possible step by step, one by one though.
What if the tubes are shaped in such a way that they interlock with each other, therefore still allowing food to be digested within the body?
You deserve the 1mil mate hope you keep going

It's nothing new. Flat Land was written in the late 1800's, and Conway's game of life has been around since the 80's.
There's also the book The Planiverse, written in the 80's which went into detail of how a 2D universe would have to work, covering biology problems (including the one in the video), and more subtle problems -
Taking a description from Wikipedia -
_"The Technology of Arde is explored in great detail. For example, all houses are underground, so as not to be demolished by the periodic 2D rivers; nails are useless for attaching two objects, tape and glue are used instead, most Ardean creatures don't have deuterostomic digestive tracts since they would split into two, and have instead evolved alternatives; and even games such as one-dimensional Alak, everything is designed to work in 2D. An appendix explains some fundamentals of Ardean two-dimensional physics and chemistry."_
Wow I feel kind of special that I am one of you one million subscribers lol. Congratulations I hope you get a million more 😀
So cool watching that 1million ticker. Great videos
Actually, a tube can work in two dimensions. Everything has zero depth, so that means that you can have as many layers of “zero” as you need. All these layers still ad up to zero.
so? terraria logic? objects in the backround and objects in the front?
well, this would be more like as 2.1D
@@igorjosue8957 I think that is how it would work if 2d was real. It is hard to understand.
I remember Carl Sagan doing a similar experiment and I've always had a problem with it. No matter how absolutely flat an object that that can only move in the x and y axis is, it still has a measurable z dimension.
These are simulations not evidence. It's true that nothing within our universe can be anything but 3d but we can simulate 2d by making the z axis inaccesible
Okay i love this animation.

This dudes math/ geometry makes my head hurt but I can’t stop watching.
I can now revive my anime waifu because of this
A two dimensional object is beyond current reasoning. atomic structures are three dimensional, an object Even an atom thick has a third dimension. So regardless how thin an object it is in our universe it will always have a third dimension. So the atomic structures in a two dimensional plane would have to be entirely different than the ones we know and understand today. In other words it's beyond our comprehension.
Yes but we can comprehend 2D and how if 2D beings existed without problems, how they would see things .
Imagine if we are in Earth's game of life
Happy late 1 million!
2:25
Prooooooof the earth is flat
If you actually think that the world is flat, your weird
And the world is not green it's blue
I don't think life can exist in 2D. Even atoms are 3D. 2D is basically nothing since the line is infinitely small which nothing can match.
The 2 dimension world isnt in our universe but in another universe where the laws of physics are probably different
Hagios Lukas Marihot Sianipar , I agree, a two dimensional world can only be viewed from another dimension. A two dimensional world has no thickness, thickness requires a third dimension. 🤔
But aren't atoms or at least sub atomic particles zero dimensional?
Hagios Lukas Marihot Sianipar the 4d creatures are probably hypothesizing the same thing right now
Shadows are 2D
