    It’s weird how he understands he’s just interacting with himself within the cell, but then still chooses to think escaping via the box lid is different suddenly

    I think that the number 8 might stand for the fact that if you turn it on one side, it becomes the infnite symbol, like the dimension, where you endlessly go out of the box and back into another one.

    Fun things to not do:

    -open the box and throw it up to the bigger world
    -open the box and hold it tight, pick up the smaller box, then let go the normal box

    I think the most sinister thing is that in the drawer at the end, the matchbox seen earlier is still vibrating furiously, one or two others are weakly stirring but most of them have become still. It's the unpleasant details that stick in the mind, don't you know...

    • @dinokulic8975
      @dinokulic8975 10 лет назад +48

      So i was thinking about this for like the last 5 hours,
      Dimensions are infinite both bigger than his and smaller than his, so if he picked himself up he would have to hold himself infinite amount of times altough easier with every dimension while being held with infinity of himself.
      infinity times no matter how little is equal to infinity. So he either couldnt pick himdelf up or if he tried jumping and then reaching in box and catching himself the mass that he held (If somehow secured so it doesnt slip out of his hand) would rip his body apart in every dimension.
      If somehow he could pick himself up (e.x. air molecules get denser the deeper the boxes go) he would travel up the sped of light becasu every dimension is puling itself up in praticly no time (if he could survive traveling at the speed of light) he would be in a dimension where he is smaller than the smallest molecule.
      And if he broke that box would every dimension turn in to the bigger one?
      And as i was writing this i just figured it is 5 a.m. and i have a lot of important shit today.

    • @dinokulic8975
      @dinokulic8975 10 лет назад +1

      RimanX It is not just picking himself up it is about picking himself 1000 times lighter than himself holding another himself 100000 times lighter than himself.....
      any number (n>0) times infinity is infinite because infinity is an idea rather than an actual number.
      Lets say his mass is X (x>0)
      and that trough every dimension he gets Y (Y>0) times lighter than in previous dimension
      to lift himself up he would have to lift up
      (X:Y) * Infinity = infinity because no matter by how many times you divide a number larger than 0 by a number larger than 0 it will be bigger than 0
      and no matter how small the number is multiplied by infinity it equals to infinity.

      Oh woops, I didn't realize the large gap at the bottom of the prison cell door. I thought it went down flush with the floor so escape would have been impossible without external help. But yeah, that was one of the other points: You'd have no way to enlarge yourself back up so you'd be stuck with that huge disadvantage and getting out of that prison would then be like trying to run your way out of a large city.

      Because if he breaks it -via the theory of the upper ceiling of the box- he would just open another portal from universe 'n' to universe 'n+1' as the portal limits are defined by the interior of the room.. He is forever trapped in that room, hence the name room 8 or the room infinity.. He can't coexist as two entities in one universe.

    Or what would happen if the prisoner was not curious enough to open the box and had contented with only reading the book?
    Was this book holding the truth about that box?
    And what about all those people in the match boxes? Will they ever be sat free? Or this is just like hell?

Doesn't it mean that human pay the bill because of his curiosity to know what's beyond? or that the man in prison or God when warning them suggests that they knew it would not be for their own good to open the box or eat from the tree since that beyond in particular will be harmful for them? if that so, man should take all the responsibility of what becomes of him, and the culprit here is his curiosity

    The older man just created room 8 miniature red box with his miniature version in it for prisoners. The moment you enter room 8 a miniature version of you automatically gets created inside the box. The moment you get captured you just vanishes from the real world. That’s why he said to bring in the next prisoner. The match boxes represented death. You basically don’t get another chance once you tried to escape prison committing one more criminal act.

      +Vignesh Sivakumar It's not possible. You would be infinitely heavy and unable to lift yourself. If you start to lift you pull yourself and every other self they are holding up of the ground. This combined with the fact that you have to push off the floor to lift, which you couldn't do if you are being lifted. This means infinite weight so you would rip off whatever you grabbed, be that shirt or arm.

    • @merljj6
      @merljj6 9 лет назад +6

      +MrKHall2002 Adding infinite amounts of a person does not necessarily mean infinite weight. It depends on the rate at which the weight is decreasing. For example, if you add 1 +1/2 +1/4+1/8+... infinitely, you get 2 exactly total. Obviously, the weight here in this video would be far less than half from a smaller person to a bigger one, so I'm fairly confident your total weight would converge in the pick himself up example.

    • @MrKHall2002
      @MrKHall2002 9 лет назад

      but isn't half of infinity still infinity? though it is logical to think the weight of the smaller versions is decreasing in relation to the size changes there will still be an infinite number of them too add together. after a certain point the increase in weight will seem insignificant but that doesn't mean weight is not being added. (going by the half life example, 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 etc, etc, + 0.001953125 + 0.000976525 + etc. etc.) meaning that at every contact point between versions there will be weight added, now given that the weight can be added infinite times we conclude at infinite weight.
