    The best part was when the Möbius strip said the iconic line “It’s Mobin time”. Truly indescribable in the 3rd dimension
  • That grandfather paradox solution means that even if time travel is possible, you still can't change the past. Wonderful...
  • @AnweshAdhikari
    Man, you've explained it so well! Although I still failed to visualize the Klien Bottle in the Temporal Dimension, but man definitely a lot of valuable lessons!
  • @PBlague
    I'm soo glad you touched upon the grandfather paradox! It never made any sense to me how people would call it a "paradox"... in my mind this was automatically a loop in which all possible states and simultaneously exist! And now I have a proper mathematical explanation as to how that is possible! Thank you very very much! Also, this was a really great video! Keep it up!
  • The graphics in this video are absolutely amazing. This is the closest I've ever come to being able to visualize the 4th dimension. Nicely done!
  • @dees649
    I love the way you explained this once seemingly difficult concept in a way that is easily digestible. Great video, hope to see more!
  • @enigmaz9
    I dont know what you do for a living but you should go into teaching, the way you explain concepts is fantastic. You have a wonderful ability to take a complex subject and break it down and simplify it. Excellent video, great work.
  • @benjoshua3049
    This might be one of the greatest videos/pieces of art I’ve ever seen.
  • Morbius really is one of the movies of all time, they even created paradoxes Edit: Morbius is so popular it was even used by Jolyne in the hit anime Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
  • I knew about mobius strip and klien bottle for a long time but I was never able to grasp on how I can imagine it. This has given me a true perspective. Thanks for this. Brilliant work
  • Best video out there that brilliantly illustrates dimensions and our perception of it and what time has to do with all of it!! Just great! Thanks for the effort
  • This is probably the best introduction of some tricky geometry concepts, and a great explanation of Möbius Strips and Klein Bottles, that I've seen on Youtube. The one critique I have is sadly about the very end: I believe you moved the camera to accompany the music, but the movement ended up getting in the way of a clear visualization. Still, great video!

    Finally, someone representing the fourth dimension that’s not just showing a sphere appear and get larger and then smaller and disappear. That last bit of showing what the edges of a Mobius strip look like going through the second dimension and then correlating that with the Kline bottle in the 3rd dimension was much more creative and did a better job of helping me try to conceive of it.
  • I appreciate the way you've described things and the visuals you've used. I am a visual learner and have never taken physics so this is really stimulating and helpful. (learning just for fun and you put the fun in it.) Thank you!
  • Wow your interpretation of topology, manifolds, boundaries, and dimensions is so so so simple. I never understood these. And the example about 1D and 2D "organisms" are so interesting and easy to understand. I remember there's an animal with 2D vision, and I've always wondered how it sees the world. Now I kinda know!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
  • Great video! There's just one small but cool thing I want to point out. Let's say you lived in a 2D world, like Squirrel. You would not see 2D, shapes like in the video. Take a paper and draw some shapes on it. Then, squeeze your head into the table(or whatever) to get into their perspective. While you see across the paper, you will notice that Squirrel can only see lines. While Linus, living in a 1D world, can only see dots(or 0D if you will). Furthermore, we, living in a 3D world, can only see 2D shapes. Then our brains just puts them together to understand the 3D world. You get it. We can't see the other side of stuff, because we can't see all dimensions of our world at once. And while we living in this universe can't see all the sides of a 3D object at once(unless it's clear of course but that was not the point), someone living in a 4D world on the other hand, could look down at our 3D universe and see everything at once. They could just sight above of what to us are closed areas(just like we could easily see the inside of a 2D box). And they could see all the sides of an object at once. While we could never look back and would have no idea if they were watching us. So think about that next time you think you have privacy!
  • I'm a math student, I have a topology exam on Monday. This video is really fascinating, and connects to a whole bunch of things we defined and did formally in our courses. Thanks!
  • @a9raag
    This is one of the best explanation I have ever heard. Kudos to you for the visuals and the script all of it came together so well.
  • The last 15 seconds are pretty much the best thing i have seen. Awesome work.
