@peterwhitey4992 Год назад

There's nothing different about "dimension 4". It's indistinguishable from the other dimensions. But working in 4 dimensions is different from working in 3 dimension. Which 3 or 4 you use, makes no difference.

@sihingvonfelix4251 Год назад

@@peterwhitey4992 did you watch the video? The Professor says "dimension 4" multiple times so the author of the comment did use a term that everybody in the comments section should be familiar with. If you arent familiar with it just ask: "What exactly do you mean with dimension 4?"

@nickpatella1525 Год назад

@@sihingvonfelix4251 Peter is clarifying a misconception one might have about what is called “dimension 4” or “the 4th dimension”. Attaching a special significance to one of the dimensions isn’t something you do when studying pure Euclidean spaces. In the video, he briefly mentioned “it could be time”, which would probably cause misconceptions. If you study 4D spacetime (3 space dimensions + 1 time dimension), that’s different from what topology is usually concerned with, and distance is defined differently. In pure Euclidean space, a 4D distance can be found with the Euclidean formula: sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2 + dw^2). In 4D space time, distance is defined as sqrt((c-dt)^2 - (dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)).

@theMosen Год назад

I didn't even think dimension 4 was strange, I thought the only reason it tends to get more attention than other higher dimensional spaces is because it happens to be the first dimensional space that we didn't evolve to comprehend intuitively. The fact that it stands out topologically from all others blows my mind.

@weetabixharry Год назад

Engineers use manifolds (in N-dimensional complex space) to analyze multiple-antenna communications systems, such as MIMO WiFi. The shape of the manifold is determined principally by the arrangement of the antennas in 3D real space. Each point on the manifold corresponds to a direction (bearing) in 3D real space. The local properties of the manifold about that point tell us how well the communications system can detect, resolve and estimate the parameters of a remote signal source emitting from that direction.

@diribigal Год назад

@ChannelZero Yes, there's a proof. You can see mathematicians agreeing about this in MathOverflow question 115110 "Eversion of the 6-sphere in 7-space". (This parallels other topology facts about spheres and dimensions related to the quaternions and octonions.) For the 0-sphere, it is all solutions of x^2=1, so the two points -1 and 1 on the number line. It's not a smooth object, but passing the points through eachother doesn't pinch it in any way, so it can topologically be turned inside out.

@strangeWaters Год назад

FYI, the disks starting around 12:00 should be filled, not empty. "Disk" means the inside of an n-sphere and "sphere" means the outside. That's why it's okay to contract them, no holes.

@hyperbaroque Год назад

It isn't really much of a mystery. You can map the 4th dimension, for example. You just need more than 4 dimensions to act as an overarching structure within which to map the lower dimension. Without 4 dimensions we could not map the lower 3. And so on. (Edit, the missing exotic sphere is the exception. Yes, it is considered a quandary and I think of it as a blind spot. To me it is more of an ontological mystery than a topological one.)

@ultrozy Год назад

There's an interesting show called "Dangerous Knowledge" about how some mathematicians/physicists/etc have lost their minds to math. Wrapping your head around infinity isn't as quick & easy as learning to tie your shoes. Pretty interesting watch, although it's a bit dated at this point. I'd like to think that being a mathematician helps to process the deep thoughts they have... it must be nice to have an outlet, a way to express the thoughts, a language (math) to convert ideas to, so that others can interpret/peer review/etc. Knowing how complex the world/universe is, is almost like a blessing and a curse. That said, I'd rather ask the big questions and drive myself a bit mad trying to figure it out, than to never ask them at all and just bumble around taking everything for granted for my short time here.

Dimension 4 being uniquely special like this feels like it could potentially have implications on why, if the higher dimensional models of e.g. string theories are correct, only three dimensions are extended spatially, the fourth is uniquely temporal, and higher dimensions are curled up and only manifest as phenomena within space over time.

@Pfhorrest Год назад

@Mike Foster That ant-on-a-hose analogy is exactly what it meant by the higher dimensions being "curled up"; they're like the dimension around the hose, while the three we're used to are line the dimension along the length of the hose. We're so big compared to the curled-up dimensions that they basically don't exist to us, in the same way that we're so big relative to a hose that it seems almost like a one-dimensional object. But for tiny subatomic particles, the curled-up dimensions are big enough to give them room to do interesting things, which is a proposed explanation for various phenomena that we observe of those particles; what looks like a property of "charge" to us, of an apparently static particle in 3D space, is actually its velocity along a curled-up higher dimension, but since it's just looping around that dimension that's too small for us to see, we don't perceive it as "motion" but as some static property of a motionless particle.

They routinely measure the curvature of the universe. So far, nobody has been able to measure any. It is at least flatter than we can currently measure. If it is totally flat, it is likely infinite in size. If there is a curvature, that would tell us the actual size. Based on the fact that we have not been able to measure any curvature, the actual size is at the very least enormous, WAY bigger than the 93 billion lightyears of the visible universe.

Interesting topic. I have run into this problem with 4 dimensions in the study of error correcting codes. Coding theory is related to exotic topology, since the number of dimensions affects how code symbols can be decoded. We know a lot about binary codes or trinary codes with symbols that have 2 states (0, 1) or 3 states (-1, 0, +1). We know the best possible error correcting codes for binary codes with length out to 256 bits, and in many useful cases much farther. Something similar is known for trinary codes. But not for quaternary codes. Finding codes for quaternary symbols is much less obvious. In most cases we simply reduce this to a pair of binary symbols, but that ignores the reality of many useful communications systems.

very interesting video💜 thanks and yes, numberphile videos are important haha

Can you point us to the software that you used to visualize some of these exotic shapes?

@diribigal Год назад

I don't think it exists. There is software that churns through calculations but they just spit out numbers, not visualizations

Really interesting! I'm always fascinated about higher dimensions.

Hey what does a Klein bottle look like in 4D space? I think it would be a “portal” but it is hard to visualize!

an occillating spherical spiral with vortecies would fit the description at the start, it maintains coherance of form while in motion well it can do as long as the initial and inertial conditions permit it.

@TarzanHedgepeth Год назад

Motion is part of it, right? Whatever it is, it seems to me to be the INVERSE. Meaning, the exotic sphere is the inverse of the sphere… which is probably why you can’t easily “calculate” it, because a point is OUTWARD - meaning locality is anything BUT a point. From the perspective that a point is equally a point in all 3 dimensions in our 3rd dimension… it’s the closest approximation I can communicate at this exact second…

Congratulations on reaching the 15TH DIMENSION! Enjoy your reward of SIXTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX SPHERES!

That's like a whole mysterious world at our doors yet to discover !

That's what mathematics is, my guy.

6:14 7:00 corner? 8:05 can the ones in dimension 1-3 be demonstrated? Edit: oh those are the standard ones

@yoyoyogames9527 Год назад

really interesting, three spacial and one time dimensions make up a 4 dimensional space, interesting that 4 is the one we have the most trouble saying things about

How come you can neglet two loops at the klein bottle sturcture? Outside there is a loop, kind of as a mug has place for fingers, witch should not be possible to be destroyed in the process of molding it to a flat surface nor "inside" the bottles loop between the outer opening and tunnel out from the bottle.
