TEDxBoulder - Thad Roberts - Visualizing Eleven Dimensions

My dude had to explain quantum physics and dimensions in ONLY 15 min, no wonder he looked like he was struggling a bit, i wish he had more time (and space :D)

Does anybody really realize how monumental this information is? I mean it is almost unbelievable how he was able to figure this out, and then explain it so beautifully.

One of the best talks I have ever heard on space/time/dimensions! Remarkably easy to follow in spite of the complexity of the subject. Great job, can't wait to see more!

It seems I've found this amazing video a little late. But I believe that doesn't change the importance of this man. A man who isn't afraid to take on what so many have deemed as The Way of things. We need more people who take the fundamentals of our science and math and challenge them. We are a species who like to put in answers to where answers might not be correct. I do say, his challenge to just because it's worked so far, does it mean it will work for all - is an excellent and dangerous stand. I hope this man does not grow weary and that his video is an influence unto the others that see it. If you are reading this, stand steady my friend. Because you are what this world needs!

Despite him running out of time, I wish he could have kept going.

After a couple of years looking for some explanation for the higher dimensions, this is for sure the best one I've ever found. Thank you, sir, for clarifying in such an elegant and simple presentation, I'm sure I have a better picture of space-time itself in my mind after watching this, one that seems to make even more sense in physics, chemistry and any other natural science.

5:24 Let's consider an analogy 5:53 If space is quantized... 6:32 3 distinct types of volume 6:38 Distance between any 2 points in space 6:47 The volume inside each quantum is inter-spatial 6:50 The volume which the quanta move about in is super-spatial 7:26 Then, we have time 7:32 Supertime 7:53 Curved spacetime 12:18 Dark matter 13:59 Dark energy

Wow, I think this is the first time I’ve got a fundamental understanding of these extra dimensions without being left at the end thinking this is all way too exotic for my mind. Thanks for the great explanation!

Rethinking reality, I love it. Concepts that challenge normal perception are what raise the questions that change humanity.

This is the first understandable explanation I've encountered to allow a basic understanding of how there can be more than 4 dimensions (x, y, z, time). What a great crash course in extra dimensions!

Wow I love this guy. He's so easy to understand, and humble too.

Wow, this is one of the best video's I've seen in a while.. to bad he was under such time constraints to deliver such a great answer to such profound questions..

This demonstrates how important it is to have the right framework when making any kind of observation. Without the proper mental tools to interpret information we will be limited to ‘flatlander’ explanations that dont always make sense

I really liked the theory and the presentation. Thanks for sharing this with us.

More of this please! And I would not mind chopped into different shows. Too much in too little time. So fascinating. Thank you!

the first time I saw the 11th dimensional clip in this talk it annoyed me greatly, upon second time it started appearing clearer, the third time I can start to see the music. Thank you so much for keeping me grounded during this dimension shift! cheers!

This blew my mind. My jaw was literally open for straight one minute when he was talking about quantum tunnelling in the context of quantization of space.

Most important TED talk ever in my opinion. This deserves millions of views!

so cool. your demeanor let us know we'd have to hang on. your pace let us recap and pause. your voice is calm smooth and musical which gave us the sound of the information you have to give, not only the words. listening again, is a privilege. ty

I held on for about halfway through, then I got flung off into the abyss of ignorance
