What does /sci/ think about xkcdHatGuy? I think he's a

He's really not. He paid attention in physics class.

he's got a very soothing voice for a 12 years old

he looks CGI

>>8138977
His words are very precise and he seems to know what he's talking about like he's very familiar with the concepts. More familiar than a random kid who paid attention in physics class

>some guy can parrot easy as fuck principles
>hurr durr, GENIUS!!!!1

>>8139019
No, he's a young man with a clear understanding of the concepts who probably reads textbooks above his age level.

That's just a good scholar, not a genius.

He's just well informed.
Far from a genius.

He looks so hot in the older videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DljBMflGdek

i like his voice

>>8139021
kinda this.
it would be a genius if he came up with the 4d theory, and not just repeating from wherever he heard it.

Who here was at his level in high-school, or had classmates at this level?

>>8139022
This is it, but, it seems relatively rare to find which is depressing.

>>8138936
like his vids, awared me on 4d

his videos are angsty right now gonna give him a bit then check in lol

>>8139049
he has a new thing on SC from a few days ago https://soundcloud.com/xkcdhatguy/

i'm really curious what he's up to though

>>8139046
I was about (if not more) well informed than he seems to be.
He seems like a genuinely intelligent guy, and this comes off from his intuitive explanations.
But then again, if he can't maintain it as an adult or do anything useful with his ability, then it's nothing significant.

>>8139054
>hurr durr fuck society

>>8139061
So what are you doing with your ability? Not intended in an aggressive manner, just curious

>>8139067
I'm currently studying NatSci at Cambridge, but that's about it.

>>8139021
this

even i, some random bozo on an imageboard could parrot this shit in highschool. i wish i made a video of it so i could have raked in that sweet sweet youtube ad revenue back when it actually was worth it

>>8139072
Is it grad or undergrad?

>>8139072
That's about nothing btw. I was offered a place to study there for my MSc (declined it) and I knew fuck-all in high school. If you're any good at all you should have some worthwhile publications to show for it

>>8139081
Undergrad, second year.

While we're on the subject of 4th dimension, this actually proves that even if you happen to move in the 3rd dimension, you don't have any control over the 4th dimension. Which means while you travel back and forth on the 3rd dimension, your location will be entirely different on the 4th dimension, which means you don't go back to the absolute place when you move unless you have controll over the n'th dimension which is above all else.

So even if you try time travelling, you will never get to the exact point. Something will be different when you go there as the higher dimension you're in would be moving linearly disregard how much you have moved in it's sub-dimension.

Also, if 4th dimension is time, what are 5th, 6th, 7th and so on ? No Interstellar memes please.

>>8139087
That's my point, though.
If people don't have anything significant to offer when they're adults, then being considered a genius as a teenager means fuck all.

>>8139089
>Also, if 4th dimension is time
One of the four dimensions is temporal as opposed to spatial. It is not "the fourth". Dimensions don't have fucking order. In physics notation, we can set x_0 or x_3 to time depending entirely on convention (or x_1 or x_2 if we were trying to make things needlessly confusing)

>what are 5th, 6th, 7th and so on
Assuming their existence, likely ultra-compact spatial dimensions which explains why the dispersion of gas fits what we would expect with only 3 spatial dimensions - the ultra-compact dimensions have minimal impact.

>>8139093
whatchu think about the time travel thing while the dimension above you moves linearly independant of you ?

>>8139089
There's a difference between temporal dimensions and spacial dimensions.

how can anyone see the way he put those kinects together and think he's a genius

>>8139103
butt why :o Why isn't it like an L-system where one dimension is the multiplication of another dimension, but when we get to the 4th, its a whole other dimension.

Is time simply linear that you can't go back or move just like a spatial dimension ?

>>8139105
Because they're laymen, and a seventeen year old explaining any concept that seems to be remotely complicated in a simple manner is, to them, a genius.

>>8139106
Somewhat, yeah.
If we were to perceive time and space together, it's known as space-time.
In regards to the additional dimensions, there are theories about string theory to explain the four fundamental forces. But that's all I know of.

>>8138936
His descriptive videos are impressive for a person of his age, even though they might not be particularly accurate and should not be used as credible sources of reference.
His prescriptive videos - that is, pretty much every other of his video - however, should be dismissed. Any prescriptive statement should be taken very accurately, and we cannot simply compliment them just because they were told by a young person with no formal education.

>>8138936
Hello xkcdHatGuy, have you heard on the dunning-kreuger effect? You're apparently on the overestimating yourself side, and clearly, not a genius.

Are you a hot grill btw?

>>8139758
rub yourself out of existence

>>8139758
lel is this copy pasted from his youtube

>>8139718
His new videos describe how society is OUGHT to be. But we cannot take his views particularly seriously because statements that claim what is OUGHT to be done should be taken to higher standards of critical evaluation than statements about what IS something, such as his video on 4th dimension.

>>8139852
Hopefully the kid just ended it all

>>8139022
Not even that. He may just have a father who's a physics professor and explained him all the stuff and guided him

dude wtf, his voice is deep as fuck son. Jelly desu.

got some serious asmr triggers from his vids. Might start listening to him before going to bed

>>8138936
I think he's pretty cute.

>>8140033
this

What the fuck? This kid is just some fuckwit who was told how smart he was too many times growing up. Now he's got an ego and thinks he knows it all. Seriously, watch some of his other videos. The guy is a fucking idiot.

>>8139046
Former classmate was quite comparable. Sadly I was his only friend.

>>8140173
what's he up to now?

>>8140230
Offed himself a few years back

>>8138936
I remember being in middle school when I first watched this video and thinking what an autistic faggot he is for posting this garbage popsci. at the time I could regurgitate the same shit, all because I watched a few space documentaries. There is nothing special about this kid

for real?

The dude basically had a nice voice and a good use of English, I don't know why is everyone so hyped

Also, he's explaining an existing concept, which isn't that hard to grasp honestly. I don't consider my high school teacher a genius because he could explain the Doppler effect.

True geniuses are innovators, who form entirely new concepts in their field. I know people who are amazing at memorization, they could read Wikipedia articles back to you from memory but when it comes to actually applying themselves to said subject, they don't know jack shit.

>>8138936

no you said smart people never think they are smart, which means dumb people say they're smart and dumb people dont, which means if you think you're smart ure dumb, which means you're either dumb or ur'e dumb.
so keep ure' head down dumbo

>ctrl+f
>no flatland

I'm disappointed /sci/. No one has read Flatland?

He got his ideas, almost word-for-word from the novel, "Flatland"

http://www.southwestern.edu/academics/bwp/pdf/2006bwp-buchele.pdf

Worth a read. Helps with elementary mathematical reasoning and intuition, mainly by connecting the (often overlooked) idea of projection with dimension.

When you get into upper-level statistics and higher-dimension analysis this type of thinking becomes more useful. When you're designing three-dimensional objects or thinking about three-dimensional worlds, like physicists and engineers do, it's not as necessary.

>>8139021
he's a high school student though!

>>8145554
>Worth a read. Helps with elementary mathematical reasoning and intuition, mainly by connecting the (often overlooked) idea of projection with dimension.
Does it actually do so in any reasonably detailed way? I never got around to reading the actual book, but as someone who has been interested in 4d projection since I was a preteen, I found the general ideas introduced by videos and such based on flatland to be pretty trivial. I'd be interested if there's more to it than that.
