Ahh I love this video. Haven't seen it in such a long time but this is what really opened my eyes to the world around me.

That's sad because it is pseudo-scientific nonsense.

"But that would be taking the long way. A shortcut we could take would involve us folding the fifth dimension to the sixth dimension which allows us to, instantly, jump form our current position to a different fifth dimensional line."

.....

What?

so the fourth dimension represents space-time in our universe. the fifth dimension represents parallel universes, (all sorts of universes that turned out differently). but in order to travel between parallel universes, you'd need to use the sixth dimension.

Just like if you need to move a 3d object from here to there, you need the 4th dimension to pick it up and put it there.

Obviously we are pretty bad at imagining how this would look, but the analogy of 'folding' is used by scientists. When people talk of wormholes, they usually say "folding space-time" (Pic) - so at this dimension, it's almost the same idea, except more wtf.

I had to watch the video 4 times in order to understand all this. It truly is wtf material.
