Title: Understanding the tenth dimension- sweet stuff
Post by: Caspian on 26 Apr 2009, 01:56: Starts off straight forward, gets less straight forward as it goes. I think it's a sweet way of explaining it; one of my favourite youtube videos. Here's part 1.

I don't know what the hell this video is about though.

Post by: ledhendrix on 26 Apr 2009, 07:00: I just did a little bit of quick research into the guy that does the 10th dimensions video. He is not a scientist and from what I've read in the reviews of his video from physicists he doesn't come close to describing the dimensions accurately, has no grasp on what he is talking about and should not be taken seriously.

Post by: snalin on 26 Apr 2009, 14:24: He has a comfy voice to listen to, and I guess he makes a lot of sense if you, like I, don't know shit about dimensional theory.

Is there any simple, down-to-earth explanation for why he is wrong?
Title: Re: Understanding the tenth dimension- sweet stuff
Post by: ledhendrix on 26 Apr 2009, 16:06: The guy isn't a scientist and the book/video has only received bad reviews from real scientists. From a hippy dippy nonsense point of view it might be appealing but if you actually want to learn about "dimensions" (he gets accused several times of using that word in the wrong context) or anything to do with physics then it is a pile of rubbish.

Well, how about that. I had no idea. That's a bit disappointing, but I can't really say it bothers me; I find physics interesting but I certainly wouldn't say I'm very passionate/knowledgeable about it. Oh well.

Post by: ledhendrix on 26 Apr 2009, 18:41: Yeah that was pretty epic, that guy must have been so baked after that. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to get that baked that quickly.

I never did get the point of saying this. Things can still be interesting even they aren't newly posted.
