Five Dimensional Reality
5-dimensional Beings (4:49)
What does it actually mean for a being to be 5 dimensional? What is the tesseract that Coop falls into inside the Black Hole’s event horizon?
*Note: This lesson references 4 dimensional life forms, while Interstellar talks about 5 dimensional beings. The reason for the difference is that this lesson is just looking at geometric dimensions, whereas Insterstellar is counting 4 spatial dimensions plus 1 time dimension.
- Our Universe may have a fifth dimension that would change everything we know about physics
What else could there be beyond the three dimensions of space and one of time? And how can we begin to conceive of it?
