I've been checking out a few videos on Youtube from the Tenth Dimension blog (such as this one for example), and even though what he's saying is on a pretty casual-chatty level, I just don't get all of it.
I do get enough of it though to forcibly get my mind wrapped in ways I never imagined before. It's quite startling an experience. It's interesting to note that much of the highest levels of physics (and, by function, mathematics) becomes subject to interpretations that affect our physical world and how we percieve it, and thus - perhaps unintentionally - wander into philosophy...even religion, you might say.
The concept that there actually exists a minimum quanta of time is one such thing. Is it proof our universe is merely a computer simulation, and that planck time is the cycle length of each step of the simulation? HMMMM...!
On a side note, the above linked video talks a lot about the fourth dimension, but seems to deal with it more from a time perspective (no pun intended). When it comes to handling the fourth dimension as a physical property, I find Carl Sagan's explanation from roughly 30 years ago now very hard to beat. That man was a genious, at least when it comes to oral explanations of rather complicated subjects...
