sorry dude but above time there isnt dimension anymore. Dimension means: borders, boundaries, mathematical dependency and can be explained by formula (only from a higher dimension into a lower one) every try to explain higher dimension from a lower is a CONCEPT and isnt true but only approaches the truth eg klein bottle. Concept: a lower dimension thinking about a higher one Definition: a higher dimension observing a lower one. a mobius strip is the two dimensional infinity and can only exist by staying in a higher dimension! 6:15 - is what we see as a donut shape. The torus. The klein bottle is the three dimensional infinity existing in a higher dimension (=something like a proof there is at least one higher dimension above 3D, what i called CONCEPT above)

Want a Mobius strip? I'll sell them for half price of the Kline bottle. Some assemble will be required because the Mobius strip is delivered as a post card to you and you have to tape the two ends of the postcard together yourself. The instructions are on the post card. In fact, the instructions appear on both sides of the post card after you have taped the ends together to form the Mobius strip.

Mathematically, this is a visual of the failure of a certain property of functions.. For an object to embed in n-dimensional space, there must be a function that brings the object into n-dimensional space that is, among other requirements, one-to-one. The object intersecting itself is a manifestation of the function's failure to be one-to-one. Points that were previously distinct on the object are brought to the same point.

Tgon Mwort you don’t need to see it. no one can imagine 4 dimensions, and a taurus is embedded in 4d. but you can imagine a cube, and you can imagine a drawing of a cube, and you can see how certain point have to intersect on the paper to represent it. despite these apparent intersections, you know that none of the vertices of a cube actually overlap, and you can compare that to a drawing of a klein bottle. remember, you don’t need to imagine it. just understand the comparison.

There is something about the thorus that took me quite some time to understand which is the difference between it and a sphere. I took a while to understand why the universe of the asteroids game couldn't be a sphere, since it is also true that in the sphere when you travel all the way to the left you come out on the right and the same is valid for up and down (and in the same orientation). The answer I found is that two perpendicular lines on the thorus only intersect once, whereas on the sphere they intersect twice. So if two spaceships would start at the same point in the universe of astroids and one travels up and the other travels to one side, let's say right, then they would meet again in the same point, the first comming from below and the second comming from the left (assuming equal lengths). However if the universe was a sphere, they would have to meet in another point, which would be the diametrically opposite to the one they started, whic is not the case. I just thought this would be something nice to point out

Yeah, the video also had me think "what about spheres?" at several points. The thing about spheres is you can't topologically embed them in a plane, so it's hard to compare. If we use something like Mercator projection (how globe maps are usually drawn), yes if you go west you come out on the east end, but the same is not true for north-south. As you move towards a north-south edge of a map, once you're there, you come back down from the same edge but in opposite direction (on the map) at a different point that isn't even connected to the previous one. That's because essentially, if you embed a sphere in a plane, you have to turn the poles from points into edges (the north and south edge of the map). So basically, if such a 2D game were to have spherical-ish topology, if you go through the left border you'd come out on the right, but if you move through the bottom border (going down) you come out on the bottom border going up but exactly half a screen length displaced.

Interesting thoughts. I did think asteroids is a sphere. The issue I had with a torus was, I thought if your spaceship was on the inner ring, and pointing along the mid plane of the torus, if you press up then your spaceship would move in a circle on the screen (or perhaps run along a single vector line and back again without going off screen). Ultimately, the entire surface of a sphere cannot be laid flat in 2D to make a SQUARE, but with a torus it can... I think... The bend radius would have to be very small. Ok now I need some paper and scissors! It would have been good if this was mentioned in the video.

@@gmweb1304 I don't know if this is relevant, but the position of the observer is different in the two examples. When mapping a sphere we do so from a position above the flat surface to be mapped. With the game of Asteroids it appears as though the point of observation is from below what could be described as the flat surface of their environment.

I think it was not a sphere because you can make a sphere using only one kind of circles that continues to go in one direction anywhere. That creates a sphere successfully. The answer was torus because you cant only do it with one sphere going one direction and you need two so that the hole of the torus can be made. And i know i explained that very terribly but im tired.

Honestly, yeah, that is sorta what a torus is, a loop traced along another loop.

It's probably why I'd try to describe the loops of a torus as embedded into each other, but I'm pretty sure I'm just being pedantic.

Awesome! Two questions: 1. At 10:08, three examples are shown for the 2D manifolds of cylinder, mobius strip, and klein bottle. What would be created by altering the third manifold so blue arrows also point in opposite directions? 2. What are the factors, in terms of Cartesian products of shapes, of a sphere? I assumed circle x circle = sphere, but as explained at 15:46, clearly not.

1.) This results in what's called the real projective plane, or RP^2. It is a well-studied object, so just Googling that will give you plenty of information. 2.) There are no such factor spaces of the sphere. Showing this is true is a bit out of scope here (off hand I think we will need to invoke algebraic topology for a proof). Intuitively, one might think of spheres as more "fundamental" or "prime" topological spaces.

That may also be the first time I heard a Klein bottle explained like that. I’ve wondered why they didn’t just build them with a gap around the penetration point. It’s because that intersection is an illusion, the projection of a 4D object into 3D space just like the 2D drawing of a 3D cube shows false intersections. If I looked at it from 4D there would be no intersection and the bottle wouldn’t narrow and widen.

I’m curious about the psychology of thinking in higher dimensions. What would be different about a 4d brain that allows it to imagine in 4 dimensions? Why couldn’t a flat lander imagine 3d vision? is it simply because imagination is just a combination of images from memory and flatland guy has never seen in 3d? is it the structure of his brain? is it some fundamental truth that makes no sense to us, similar to how observing forces a quantum particle to choose a state? big hmmm

Thats a really goo remark and i think its just because we are born and live in a 3d space. There is the 4th dimension - time, but we actually cannot feel or observe it. We measure it, we live in it, we count it, but how would you imagine it? You live in it and it became such a inseparable part of our existence that it become impossible for a normal human to "think outside of the box". I bet that if you got even a glimpse of 4th space dimension, you would no longer have problem imagining it further, but in this case its like trying to imagine a color that you have not seen. It just too different from what your brain has observed up till now...

It's a really interesting question. Would a physically 4D brain hooked up from birth to a simulated 3D world like ours nonetheless somehow be capable to imagine the 4th dimension, just by virtue of physically inhabiting it? Personally I don't think so, but I imagine to have a clear answer we would have to try en experiment with a 3D brain hooked up to a 2D simulator from birth. Problem is (ethical issues aside) I don't imagine a 2D simulation would be enough for a brain to evolve complex functions like language and spatial awareness, for us to be able to ask them to imagine another dimension. Still, I believe the answer lies in the psychology of the brain and not in the physical substrate it is made of.

Eyes see pictures of the worlds, basically we see in 2D, but because we have 2 of them and the brain is actually smart, it can deduce the 3 dimension from that. I believe we instantly a Cube as a Cube simply because of experience thus (can be demonstrated with optical illusions too, it's quite easy to trick the brain with fake or impossible perspective). A flatlander would only see a line, so it would see in 1D, but with its experience, it could understand what a square is like, however there would be too much missing information for a cube. now I'm really not sure, but maybe if we found a way to have eyes that can see in 3D, we could then see objects in 4D much better. A flatlander sees 1 or 2 line from a square, but we see the whole square at once, no matter what is its rotation. Our 2D eyes see only 3 faces of a cube at most, but a 3D eye could see the entire cube at once. If you had 2 3D-eyes, maybe that would be enough to fully see in 4D? In any case, I'm confident to say it's beyond human comprehension, simply because the brain is made to interpret and compare 2D pictures, not entire 3D spaces, so even if you somehow injected 3D eyes into the brain, it probably wouldn't be able to understand anything.

A brilliant way of representing manifolds. I immediately predicted the Möbius Strip and Klein Bottle just from the polygon representation.

Old games here: King's Quest 1 is a Torus (like Asteroids). The map cycles around in all 4 directions. King's Quest 2, 3, 4 (Most of them anyway, depending on map) are cylinders like the first new example. Very cool vid; great perspective!

I’ve played a game called “Manifold Garden” before. It’s a first person puzzle game (it’s 3D). In that game if you fall you land back on the level floating in space. You can rotate yourself in any direction and fall back into the level itself like before. I now understand the title and see every level is a 3 torus.

@Zach: Now do: Portal - multiply connected space-time. (Also, Splitgate) Braid - closed time-like curves Miegakure - 4D world. Antichamber - 4D (? ) Escher-like world. (Also, Manifold garden) Any game with scale-based maps that the player transitions between (eg Star Control II, No Man's Sky) Monument Valley - world that can be manipulated by perspective. So is it a projection of a higher dimensional space onto a lower dimension? Fez Contrast - game where the player can move between 3D world and shadows projected by light sources.

I’ve had this question on my mind for days now. my question is what’s the topology of a world map? Going left to right and right to left is easy to imagine, but what about going up? You don’t end up on the bottom. Think about this one, it’s tricky. Here’s an example of one of my broken theories: Imagine when going up, your x coordinate becomes its opposite (- to +, and + to -), and you get flipped around, facing South. This works, except that when walking strait into the arctic in the middle of the map, you would see the same terrain when after being turned around, walking back toward the equator (the terrain should be different!).

I just had a eureka moment. If you had 2d slices of a Klein bottle (like the animation) and moved them through time there would be no self intersection, but if you put it all at the same time, there is self intersection. We live in 4 dimensions and perceive the fourth axis as time.

Two questions: 1. What happens if you move the R through the top right corner of the 2D example of the Klein Bottle? Would it get split apart and one part reappears in the bottom left corner while the other appears at the top right corner although those two places aren't even connected? This doesn't even make sense in a 3D space unless that intersection part is actually passable by the R. 2. How would look a Sphere in that 2D example? Wouldn't it look exactly like a Torus but with way more room distortion?

The video is really well done , definitely one of the best ones out there ... to the viewers who want to move into the 4 th dimension, it’s just not possible for us to do that in the physical human form. We lack the extra spatial dimension to move into it . It’s like a shadow wanting to be in the 3rd dimension, it has height and width but no thickness ... you however can consider yourselves to be the projections of your 4 th dimensional persona. Something like the shadow is the 2D representation of a 3D body. The shadow has no awareness of its 3D higher self but it exists when light is obstructed by its 3D self before casting the shadow on the 2 dimensional floor it wall on which the 2 D shadow is cast.

One particular thing that I believe is worth mentioning, is that a lot of people (myself included) tend to think of the circle as a 2D shape, when in actuality it is the embedding of the topological circle into 2D space. This little subtlety, if not recognized, might make you wonder: if a circle is a 2D object, then why is the product of two circles not a a 4D object? Actually, the resulting object is the so-called Clifford torus, and its stereographic projection is the standard 3D torus.

The drawn cube has 1-D intersections, the Klein bottle has 2-D intersections. That’s made higher dimensions as clear as a mill pond. I had seen the Klein bottle many times but didn’t realise that it was a shadow of a 4-D object. Every time I had tried to visual a 4-D object my brain always plays back the clip from Terminator 2 where T1000 is in the molten lava and he kind comes out of his own mouth incidentally this looks a lot like the intersection on a Klein bottle.
