Not convinced. Also, a Möbius strip is formed using a half twist of the paper strip, not a full twist. It's close to bedtime, I'm getting pedantic and cranky... Tongue
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Once I figure out how to become a tenth dimensional being I'm coming after you

RE: How to imagine the tenth dimension
Contrary to what the narrator says in the end, this funny exercise of viewing all possibilities and initial conditions as transitioning through new "dimensions" seems to have very little to do with the ten dimensions in which superstrings purportedly live - those are something much simpler, namely our spacetime supplied with 6 additional spatial directions. Scanning the possibilities of collapsing the many worlds quantum wave etc is something completely separate from these higher dimensions of space. In fact, it seems a gross simplification to describe all the superpositions of many worlds quantum mechanics as one additional dimension.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I may just be a pig-headed three dimensionalist but I'm only willing to admit one more dimension so long as we note that it is not a spatial dimension. We have three spatial dimensions and one of time. The tesseract is as entertaining as Flatland, and no more compelling. I guess what I'm trying to say is "bah, humbug". Okay, time for my meds.
