This chapter delves into a discussion about dimensions, particularly focusing on multi-dimensional spaces and the relationship between spatial dimensions and time. It explores concepts such as hypercubes, spatial rotations, Lorentz Boost, and the theoretical implications of compactifying spaces. The conversation also touches on the complexities of compactifying time, the grandfather paradox, and Hugh Everett's many worlds interpretation in quantum mechanics.
Is gravity fundamental to the universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore quantum physics, the fourth dimension, whether H2O is water, and the many-worlds interpretation with theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin, PhD.
