Thanks for watching, everybody! To keep the video short and engaging for viewers with any background, there are many times that I make approximations, hand-wavy arguments, and even mistakes. Here are a few corrections: 8:27 makes it sound like there is a single wavelength of light emitted from hydrogen in the CMB. In reality, the neutral atoms that formed during recombination were less likely to interact with light, so the CMB is largely made up of the the thermal radiation that was able to propagate once atoms formed. It is (and was) a black-body with a spectrum of wavelengths. 10:59 Although this is the right motivation, cosmologists don't "measure" patches in the CMB to get the angular size. The circles that I drew might be misleading here. Instead, the sky map is decomposed into spherical harmonics and the components are then plotted. The peak angular features size is taken as what I called "theta" earlier. Please, have some discussion in the comments and always let me know if I miss anything!

This video is a goddamn experience. From the beginning I felt there was something special in the way you convey ideas. This is the only channel from the SoME2 i've subscribed to and I really hope you can make more.

I absolutely love this. I think humans will be able to intuitively grasp 4 dimensions and MAYBE more if/once we have the right tools to explore them, especially with VR. We'll never grasp it like a hypothetical native 4D being, but I'm sure we can get a pretty solid grip with enough exposure. And after we have a generation of people who've played with this enough, we'll have a generation of scientists reading totally new insights from Einstein's work.

That's a good insight. In the last decades, LEGOs and computer graphics have made the average human much more comfortable with thinking in 3D and you can see it rubbing off on today's scientists and engineers. If we come up with a clever way to visualize it, then the same thing could happen with higher dimensions!

Here's a silly but helpful page on that: pi.math.cornell.edu/~mec/Winter2009/Victor/part1.htm From there it's a little more straightforward to image 3D hypersurfaces as cubes with their boundaries pastes together in different ways.

Cosmology: I like to pay attention, but don’t study it, so there were some details I hadn’t thought about before. And then the punch line. Wait what‽ We’re confident that the universe is flat‽ I mean, I can see the connections, but I really wish you’d spent more time there. I hope you’ll make a follow up with more detail.

The universe could still have several more dimensions, it's just flat in those dimensions. Think of a cylinder. It's round on the X-Y plane, but flat on the Z axis. Still very much a 3D object. Or think of a piece of paper suspended in air. It's a 2D object (sort of) in a 3D world (probably).

Calabi-Yau Manifolds: Allow us to introduce ourselves

My favorite physical model is when I made the hyperbolic equivalent of a snub dodecahedron (in other words, vertex figure {7, 3, 3, 3, 3}). It's mild enough that I could tape over 40 polygons before it got too puckered and was harder to manage, and more than 3 polygons to a vertex prevented the polygons themselves from getting bent. Beyond something like that, I turned to programming and flying a virtual camera around higher dimensional hyperbolic space. As you've pointed out, the education system significantly fails to cover it properly, usually just briefly mentioning the triangular angle sum below pi radians, negative Gaussian curvature, and a quick and dirty saddle shape drawing. It doesn't usually discuss a Poincare disk model, half space model, Klein model, or hyperboloid model, let alone horocycles, horospheres, or hypercycles.

Wow, I am a math student studying non-Euclidean geometry but have never heard of the metaphor at the end of the video, that our “belief” that Euclidean geometry is the only “true” geometry is like people thinking the earth is flat. This video is so deep and simultaneously informing!

I am often excited about things, but man I forgot how awesome math can be

funny how I always hated math (and still do) but I love astronomy so the deeper I get into this subject the more I see about maths. I only like the theoretical part so I tend to stay away from all the calculations but sometimes I happen to come across them and over time I'm starting to watch more and more math videos related to physics. I don't know if I'll ever like or be good at math but I wish I did because that would remove the barrier that keeps me from pursuing an astrophysics career

Funny Birb, you remind me of the time I was given "The Impossible Problem," wherein you draw an X inside of a Square inside of a Diamond. With instructions to draw this without lifting the pen and without tracing the same line more than once. I started with a post-it note pack, and 6 hours later finally had the realization that it can be solved; it requires you to fold the four corners into a single point, and then draw across the newly created plane.

i love this!

the counter arguement i would like to make about the expectation of theta is the consideration of how much time passes for us within a gravitationally bound timeline compared to the time which light experiences in empty space. while light moves its regular speed it has to pass by all sorts of stars and galaxies in order to arrive at our eyes which means light coming from the cmb is forced to travel a longer distance as it is curved by the gravity of massive objects and is slowed by the altered passage of time as it passes by causing it to take longer for it reach us than is recorded by the light itself.

Wonderful video, thankyou.

what a cool video

A pseudosphere is a nice embedding of a fragment of the hyperbolic plane (H2) in three-dimensional Euclidean space (E3). However, to get a similar nice embedding of a fragment of the hyperbolic three-dimensional space (H3), E4 is not enough, you would need E5 for this. So a 4D pringle is not enough! (Also -- hyperbolic crochets are cooler than pringles and pseudospheres -- they have constant curvature and also they do justice to the exponential growth, which is the coolest thing about hyperbolic geometry)

The frozen ball is the most iconic part of the video

finally a physics channel for me

Nice animations
