- Madeleine L’Engle’s acclaimed science fantasy novel, now a multi-million dollar film - ‘A wrinkle in Time’ tells the story of a young girl’s journey through space and time in search of her father. Although science fiction, L’Engle’s classic has strong roots in certain principles of Physics. The story is built around the idea that there are multiple dimensions that exist in the universe and the characters are able to take on inter-dimensional travel by entering a literal “wrinkle in space"

‘A Wrinkle In Time’ Is Probably Right About Multiple Dimensions | Mach | NBC News
The reporter seems to be getting two meanings of the word "dimensions" mixed up. When string theorists talk about there being more dimensions, they mean that as well as height, width, and depth, there are other physical dimensions that we're not aware of, most probably because they only exist on tiny scales (much smaller than even atoms). They're not talking about alternative realities or other universes, which is what many non-scientists might think of when they hear of other dimensions.
In 'A Wrinkle in Time', there's very little actual science explained. (The book has far more.) But what appears to be going on, is wrinkles in the universe within a *larger* dimension or set of dimensions, allowing a portal to be created between one part of the universe and another. The locations in the film are not alternative realities, but are explicitly stated to be in our universe, about 91 billion lightyears away.
Here is a simple explanation of a how a tesseract works: Instead of going around the object, which would take longer, you go right through it, by folding through literal space and time. Just search up a tesseract gif. You'll se what I mean.
The idea that there are additional dimensions beyond the four we seem to experience have been part of physics since long before string theory. That ten or eleven dimensions are required in order for the fundamental forces to have enough degrees of freedom, and for them to be represented geometrically, is where string theory begins, not where it concludes. But we know any additional dimensions cannot be 'big' linear spatial dimensions, if they exist they would either be 'curled up' cylinder dimensions, or they would exist in a different type of space altogether. Things separate from each other along cylinder dimensions are out-of-phase with each other. So different universes or timelines could exist either out-of-phase with each other or separate from each other along a 'big' linear dimension in some other type of space we don't have a good theory about. If this is true, this would also help to explain things like particle-wave duality and the observer problem.
How is the film probably right? It's theoretical physics. A "tesseract" isn't always a portal. A tesseract can be space within another dimension. Go watch Interstellar instead of Wrinkle in Time. It's a better film and discusses practically the same topic. We can only perceive 4 dimensions, but there are 11 dimensions in total. There are probably more dimensions, but we don't know them. We don't know what a 5th dimensional being would look like, so the film got that part incorrect. Humans wouldn't be able to interact with the 5th dimension and onwards. They also certainly wouldn't be magical in any way, shape or form. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Sorry guys but the characters of that story actually traveled to different planets
I don't think I know anything now that I didn't know before watching this video except that someone wrote a scifi novel which is now a film making lots of money, which is probably why this video was made, and if only it had been made by people who know something about the science I might've learned something.
Why is this being on nbc?
Watch interstellar
That's not how it works, changing the past doesn't change the future! Think about it, if you travel back to the past, that past becomes your future and your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by a new future!
What a dumb stupefying segment ... Ok, so i haven't seen the movie but i doubt it is one about wrinkled up tiny dimensions more or less only existing in the mathematical realm.
DMT
Bermuda?
Funny how scientist are trying to access other dimensions through material ways 😏
All nonsense.
That blonde sure has a dark tan!!!!!

Just self hate issues she refuses to deal with. That's why she's in a movie about a little black girl looking for a white daddy. She would be the first to point out the flaws with black men. But, she never tackles the group with the highest concentration of child molestation, incest, and child abuse: white men. Yet, here she goes monumentalizing them. All the money in the world can't stop you from being a fool.
TheSpiderman7285 black women hate blondes but want to look like them, yes a self hate issue, sad...

Luckily, whites are dying off at high rates according to bannon. Once, the world is done with them, it will be a site to see when people the world over are free from the scourge.

Y’all sound so stupid. She’s playing a CHARACTER from a book!
