Yep. Also, nice video. Also, shouldn't it look better with projections instead of sections? Projections always stay in 3d and we can see them, therefore having a better understanding of what 4d objects are doing, how do they look, and if their parents know... Of course, unless the idea was to show objects magically disappearing...:razz:
Most probably the people living in 4d have their version of rubic cube, and when they play with it, we should see little cubes and prisms appearing and disappearing... As I didn't see any, I believe their world is projected into ours, and not sectioned by it :davar55:

[QUOTE=LaurV;569262]... unless the idea was to show objects magically disappearing...[/QUOTE]I think that was the intention.

Maybe when magicians make stuff disappear, they are making it move [i]into[/i] :davar55: the 4th dimension. :razz:

If time is indeed the 4th dimension then all matter is just extruded from the beginning to the end of its existence, and we just see a slice of it at each instant.

Why would we learn anything new about the primes if the Riemann Hypothesis was proved?
It would prove all the theorem based on it, but we already know the consequences of those theorems and most mathematicians expect RH and them to be true already.
Do they expect the proof itself will give the new insight?

Vadahak? The camera operator was drunk, or what? (in fact, he is to be commended for how well he followed that airplane, haha, but my neck hurts!).
And to stay ontopic, following this lady's comment on your linked video, I got to her channel and the next video, which won a subscription (I don't give those easily :razz:). Her channel and web page worth a look.

[QUOTE=Dr Sardonicus;570402]Ending the [i]human species[/i] might be downright easy in comparison.[/QUOTE]The simplest method is just to be patient. Wait a few million years and we either make ourselves extinct with global cooling or something, or evolution will take care of it and create something new. And if somehow both of those fail then just wait a bit longer for the Sun to dessicate the planet.

[QUOTE=LaurV;573297]Sure, what did you think? Where's no product, you are the product. There's no free lunch. :razz:[/QUOTE]The video shows the outcome from the perspective of the advertiser. That is, Facebook ads are the product that advertisers buy. So there is a product, and it is useless. Facebook proports to sell to advertisers the user's attention, but nothing happens. It's all just a waste of money.
