I tried to watch this before my first coffee of the day and it made perfect sense up to the 4th dimension and then again after the 8th for some inexplicable reason. If you have a similar exceedingly scholarly yet entertaining video on Quantum Mechanics or how to change the ring tone on my cell phone, please post!

Good idea. While we’re at it, why doesn’t the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics get some animations on YouTube? It would be great if mere mortals could get an inkling of what goes on in those places.

Hey, that’s cool. My all-time favourite read at university was “Flatland”!
Acceptance of higher dimensions might help society appreciate all sorts of phenomena not legitimized by existing science.
