Is that the same video where you watch it and at the end or in the fine print it says that it's not an accurate depiction?

Wow. You're not going to believe this... I read the book Flatland by Edwin J. Abbott a number of years ago, and postulated all this out for myself already. The video was nothing new to me! Very cool to see it represented that way, though, thanks. Bookmarked!

Heh but does it take into account the "Heim-Dröscher space" theory. Heim theorised that we live in a 6-dimensional world (or 8 in the complete work with Dröscher) and this theory is the closest to developing true hyperspace propulsion so far. Here is a link that mentions an award given for the hyperspace propulsion theory they created. space.newscientist.com/article/mg18925331.200Edit: Oh and what is rather cool the design of it would be very very similar to the film Event Horizon. 1st class ticket to hell anyone? Have fun reading his work if thats what you like Cheers lala

If anyone's into that kind of thing, I highly recommend the book Flatland. Very thought-provoking... in fact it's more a social commentary novel than it is a work of quantum mechanical theory.

Their theory breaks down around their concept of the 4th dimension. But their own admission, an event is just a set of probabilities until it is observed (i.e. experienced in our traversing our 'now' in time), so that it cannot be modeled as a snake, as they describe, instead, it would be a line (where we've been) connecting to the tip (now) of a cone (where we could go from here). Once seen that way, the ability to imagine dimensions 5-10 as they describe it break down.

Ah thats why the Heim-Dröscher space is more interesting as it expands upon Einstein's general relativity theory and actually is closest we can get to calculating particle's mass by combining general relativity and quantum theory.
