Physicist Explains One Concept in 5 Levels of Difficulty | WIRED
Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll, PhD, is challenged to explain the concept of dimensions to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.

I think this is the only one where the expert actually looks like he’s getting schooled by the other expert.

I was thinking they would have gotten a few airheads all these people – even the kid all obviously have very good understanding of the subject to or a little above their level.

He explained 5 times, in 5 levels of difficulty and I still have no idea what he’s talking about.

Maybe branes resemble strings in shape as fractal geometry, similar patterns recurring at progressively smaller or larger scales.

How is this college level? In Australia this is high school physics.

In my fabuled memories, the comment section used to be full of interesting takes, opinions, commentaries on the content that could bring the discussion further. Now it’s only memes and 5 times the same joke. Don’t get me wrong, I love memes, but this feels barren and got old fast. by posting this I am not increasing the quality of comments by any stretch, I know that, but wanted to share my frustration.

if dimensions are just directions we can travel, we have 3 directions in which we can travel through physical space and we have directional time, the only other dimension i can think of is… magnitude? like i can move a camera forward/backward, left/right, up/down, or i can zoom in/out.

The responses to his questions were slightly scripted in the first couple interviews – particularly the first one w the kid. The direction and consistency of the glances plus the camera cuts followed by a realisation ( “So things have to be one dimensional and two dimensional to be 3D…” ) give it away. Enjoyed it though, was interesting even if the illusion of unprocessed thought was ruined.

while Ken Wheeler and his monistic cosmology is laughing on this stupid crackhead brofessor that has no idea what space is. And more precisely what space isn’t. Tesla would be facepalming hard with the degeneracy of physicists.

What great advertisement for physics, and a student to apply to Cal Tech (given they’re accepted). He’s such a great teacher!

The entire PC purpose of these Wired videos, is not to discuss any dimensions, but to show that there are blacks and women in STEM fields

How to explain things to an expert :
-Carroll : *says something*
-expert : *Why ?*
-Carroll : *Why not ?*
-expert : *Mmh … okay*

Honestly I would even argue that “unit” is even a better way to put it than “number” since numbers are basically titles we humans give to quantify perceivable things that are.

Isn’t it kind of silly to express multiple dimensions by drawing on a chalk board?
