Very interesting video. I finally understand what they mean by time being the fourth dimension. :)

That is some crazy stuff, but I think we are getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. We still don't fully understand the fourth dimension and how time can literally fold back onto itself. You gotta love the absolute randomness we call life:Evil:

Seriously, watch Event Horizon until you understand what's happening. That's basically what this video explains.

This reminds me of the NOVA episode about String theory. Its like asking if there are other humans in the universe beside us. It boggles your minds and make you feel uneasy because you can't seem to find the answers.

I like the simple illustration on each concept it make it a little easier to process.

Good stuff, when you get into the higher bits of physics is certainly gives you more of a wow factor than any religion (I am not knocking religion by the way)

I recommend Scientific American or the British website and magazine New Scientist to any person (scientist or lay person) who wants to know more about science, if they are studying it or just interested.

I have A level Chemistry and have been reading New Scientist ever since my Chemistry master recommended it back in 1987. Makes science understandable to us non scientists

It's quite simple, the universe, as we know it, is about beer. Nothing more, nothing less...the only variables, of which there are two, are as follows:

1. Good beer
2. Bad beer

Of course, looking at the second variable, it is almost a misnomer, since, let's face it, can there ever really be bad beer? However, looking at the second variable, we can thus surmise that this is all relative, henceforth, the theory of "general relativity".

That is my answer, and I'm stickin' to it.

Have a nice day! :)
