There’s something so comfortable and cozy, while eerie and terrifying about this spherical space. I can’t quite put my finger on it. It still blows my mind today.
I think becuz is an claustrophobic space geometry, if a person lives there, he could only walk around and use what is on the sphere, it cant infinitelly go an way and Never come back and explore new things becuz he is trapped inside that place, on the 3D surface of the 4D sphere
Maybe we do. But we have of cource no word for this 'sky', because we never have and never are going to 'see' it. Math and science could be indirect tools to experience some effects of this 'sky'.
Except we literally don't. As this video shows, living in a universe with positive spacial curvature is pretty obvious. I think you were trying to say something profound but lost track of the fact that we can, in fact, tell the difference.
@@Cyrinil142 Living in a world with extreme positive curvature is obvious. It is not obvious, if this curvature is beyond what we can measure so far. But anyway there are lots of unsolved problems in modern physics and therefore multiple potential 'skys' that we don't know about. And of course I dont count in 'skys' that are beyond any possible physical measurements.
Just like "UFOs" arriving or popping out of their dimension into ours to our planet say "imagine these 3D people, not perceiving our heaven above, they only see the sky and stars above".
There is no sky because you cant look "outward" from your sphere. You can only look above you and see the opposite side of the sphere. That's why this looks so weird
This reminds me of the Russian sci-fi novel "The Inhabited Island" (1969, a.k.a. "Prisoners of Power) by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (who also wrote "Roadside Picnic," on which Andrei Tarkovsky's sci-fi masterpiece movie "Stalker" was based). In this book, a cosmonaut lands on a planet where atmospheric refraction of some sort (it's not explained) causes an illusion where the land bends upwards in the distance, making it so there is no horizon. The inhabitants believe they live on the inside of a hollow sphere with a "world light" at the center, and find the idea that they live on the outside of a sphere and that there are other planets to be incomprehensible. Of course, this isn't a curvature of space itself, as in this video, but in the book the metaphorical implications (of a closed society and insular ideology) are what's important.
Game will com to VR too :D Btw, imagine it, walking in straight life in real life, you would be in other room when in the game you get back where you started from and just made a circle around the house :D Something like go around the world.
'Bro come rez me I'm inside the house.' 'Dude I'm inside the house.' 'Bro you're outside the house I see you though the window' '...My bad' *he promptly got shot by a camper on the opposite side of the map, it's still a mystery how he missed to see the guy when his face with covered over the screen* pu55y5l4y3r443: lol u suck
things I'd like to see: - jetpacking into the sky to the other side of the map (you'd have to flip halfway?) - a pole from one side to the other - no floor, just an "asteroid field" like situation (you would see yourself massively?)
@securitycountercheck you can deal with the singularity (which is more accurately referred to as the "north pole" not the "center", thinking of the 2d example) by just having the gravity decrease to zero as you get closer to it (which is what would actually happen in such a universe) Of course the camera might need to flip abruptly, but you can solve that by having the camera be free when the gravity is low enough
@securitycountercheck @securitycountercheck if there is no ground, you could look in any direction to see the other pole. also you would see past it and see your own pole again, with you projected massively on it (inside-out in every visible direction). even weirder is that, ignoring the gravity generated by the floor, every point on the map IS a "pole" and has a corresponding opposite pole. an interesting thought experiment would be to imagine the floor as a translucent membrane. at the gravitational poles (on both sides), the floor looks like a sphere. at the floor itself, it looks like a plane. now imagine it with two such membranes crossing each other perpendicularly... at the point they cross, both are planes, but there is also a point where one is a sphere and one is a plane.

The way I thing about it is spherical geometry is the inside of a sphere, not the outside. While it is not a perfect explanation it helps me wrap my mind around the space.
But really it is neither, just the surface. It is not the inside of the sphere above him, just the "north pole" of the hyper sphere. Below him is the "south pole", so he could not escape by digging, and by going straight down he'd end up on the opposite side just as if going upwards. In the released game there is a well you can jump in to show that effect.
@@catoticneutral well for starters, there would be 5 squares at every corner instead of 4. also it would basically look like what hyperbolica looks like except with cubes.
I'm curious on what an intelligent life form that evolved in an environment like this would react to euclidean geometry, since their brains would be structured to understand things as getting smaller then larger and reversed above them. I feel it'll be more alien to them than spherical geometry is to us.
Ofcourse that I an unfair assumption They'd be as confused as we are Wich is to say not alot since they would have done the same math as we have ,to understand non euclidean, To understand euclidean Saying they'd be more confused is like saying A Russian won't understand french aswell As a France person would understand russain In truth neither of them would understand eachother at all
I think that is kind of overthinking. The thing that would be interesting would be: How would they react to moving in eucledian space? Since in spherical space, objects will experience a squishing tidal force as they move through space. They would freak out since their brains would evolve to being able to tell they are moving through said tidal force, meaning that in eucledian geometry, they have no way of telling if they are moving through space or not, this would simpky be normal for un eucledian dwellers.
I see where you're coming from, but I am not sure that's the case. Actually, I think we are just missing out on non-flat space experience in our world, but Euclidean space is always there. Locally, everything is Euclidean! Curvature is a global effect only.
I love the idea of seeing non-euclidean geometry like this. "Non-euclidean" is so often misused for locally euclidean spaces, but this is something truly alien. This is what HP Lovecraft was so terrified of.
Yeah, the title of his "Non-Euclidean Worlds Engine" video bothers me a lot because it's really just Euclidean space but with weird doorways and tunnels that put you in different places than you'd expect. But this? This is just something else.
No kidding. This is so freaky, so alien, it's the stuff of nightmares. I remember seeing distortions like this when looking through the curved glass of tanks at the aquarium and how unsettling it was. Also, much more recently, when playing Psychonauts, there's a small part when fighting the lungfish where if you go up to the edge of the battle area (the wall of water), the water hands appear to keep you from going outside the boundary. However, when you move away, they too move away--but instead of getting smaller, they get _bigger._ I don't think it was meant to be creepy, but somehow, the idea of something getting bigger as it gets farther just freaks me out. No wonder Lovecraft referred to strange geometries so much.
The world we live on is by definition non-Euclidean all parallel straight lines eventually converge In Euclidean space triangles always have an interior angle of 180° and only one corner can be 90° or more On earth starting from the equator heading north to the north pole turning 90° going back down towards the equator and returning to your point of origin you have created a triangle with three 90° angles
@@deangeloenriquez1603 The world is a sphere, but it exists in Euclidean space. It is not spherical space. This is why when we travel in a "straight line" on the earth, we're actually curving around the surface, and it is visibly a curve. In true spherical space, you could travel in a straight line, but then if you moved perpendicular to it, it would appear curved--even though it would actually be straight.
This could be the scene for such a great short story/game. Imagine someone wakes up one day, stuck in this world with one house, a pond, and a small grove of trees. Any direction they go they end up back where they started, not only that if they try to leave some area behind it only looms over them. Tired of the house? Even if they walked to the other side it weighs down on them from above like the demons of the characters past. There’s so many themes you could explore and I’m so excited to see where you take it in the game!
1:48 For some reason, seeing you walk around this area with this music gives me nostalgic feeling. Especially at 2:43 with the illusion of the reverse house with concave floor and a massive area. I just don’t know why
There is actually a VR game "non-Euclidean billiards" by Jeff Weeks. It is quite cool, but I am not sure whether it is already publicly available. There is a paper in Bridges conference about it.
Take a look at 0:08 this s spherical x and y with a euclidian z, which is the correct spherical counterpart to the H2xE space most of the game takes place in. They use H2xE because gravity in hyperbolic space is freaking weird, and might not even work
The reverse perspective part along with the background music, is all like some dream I had a long time ago as a kid and it always makes me feel nostalgic.
nice. reminds me of Sir Ben Kingsley in Lucky Number Slevin: "I am a good man who does bad things. I live on both sides of the fence; my grass is always green."
Keep in mind that aiming in and of itself is a headache to think about. Just imagine how weapon spread would work, when your bullets get bigger the farther away they are, however are still actually the same size.
Oh my gosh I didn't even think about that! The bullet would get bigger as it approaches the face of the guy you shot at that already takes a lot of space in the sky
Yes, usually you use circles to divide spheres in half. The equator divides earth in half and if you looked from the north pole, it’d also be a circle.
@@bramvanduijn8086 The map isn't portraying a sphere. The whole point of the demo is that it's showcasing a "flat" plane (Flatland) but in a spherical reference frame. The fence isn't a circle either, it's a straight line.
@@qaasi95 Not quite, the issue is defining shapes in weird coordinate systems. 'The formal definition of a circle is "The locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point called the center." To translate, that means all points (an infinite number) that are the same distance from the center.' (credit to google) Looking at the map, you can absolutely identify a point that is at the exact center of the fence (where the fence is about halfway up the wall all around). Thus, it is a circle. However, it is undeniably straight within the coordinate system, making it a line, so you aren't wrong there. But the Equator is also a line if you look straight down it as well as a circle centered on, well, the center of the earth, so there's no reason that I can see that it can't be both a line and a circle. (Although technically it would be a line segment at most because it does not extend infinitely, as evidenced by the fact that if you were to make a marking and follow the fence, you would eventually return to the marked spot and the fence is thereby not infinitely long)
2:20 "Now lets go to the opposite side of the level" Spacetime folds in on itself, you pray to whatever the god is of this twisted world that your death will be brief
In Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy part 4, there's a guy named Wonko the Sane who comes to the conclusion that the entire world has gone mad and he's the only one with his head screwed on right. So, he does what any sane person would do, and builds an inside-out asylum, with the entire world on the "inside" and his home on the "outside." The book describes it as hadd to wrap your head around, but i imagine it would look some like 2:33
The second I got this notification I stopped everything I was doing (eating lunch) and went straight here. This is the most hyped I’ve ever been for a game and I actually cannot wait until it comes out! Keep up the good work
I'm just imagining a team combat game in a spherical geometry world... how could combat and strategy work when everyone is visible at all times? Could you get used to this projection? Very cool stuff.
more interesting is if you made a big enough space the mid distance from you would be too small to see but the farthest players from you would be very visible. well assuming you did this style of ground/gravity set up.
when I first watched this, I was like "how badly could you get sick from this" and "isn't this is just walking around the inside of a sphere...?" but then I played that farm level in hyperbolica and after many migraines & hours of motion sickness later🤢 I realized that spherical geometry is still just another "flat" plane one travels on; it just didn't click until I experienced it. Also, the wells and their interaction with each other blows my mind.
Honestly, it wouldn't be so extremely weird. Euclidean geometry is just what spherical geometry looks like on a small scale relative to the size of the "universe", so it would just seem like you've been shrunk by some amount. And if the size of your perception relative to the size of the spherical universe was small enough to begin with, you wouldn't even notice a difference. It's entirely within conception that our universe actually is spherical...just very, very large (although cosmological evidence points against it currently).
@@RubelliteFae Not really. If it was a concave sphere in euclidean space, objects on the other side would look smaller rather than larger. Also if he were to dig straight down, he would end up in the surface at the opposite side, while in a concave sphere he would end up outside of the sphere.
So, when the outside of the house seemed to contain us, I immediately imagined this is what the outside of the asylum looked like in Douglas Adams' so long and thanks for all the fish.
That's a pretty neat idea actually. Imagine like a wraparound toroidal map but you got to walk through the same area on a different "side" before coming back to where you come from
Elliptic projective space works as well. It also has only one side, and you can move along a straight line to mirror invert the landscape and its inhabitants (or equivalently inverting yourself). At least it works for the elliptic 2d plane, in elliptic 3d space, i suppose things are merely flipped upside down when you return.
@Electro_blob I would say 8 forms of LOCALLY EUCLIDEAN isotropic 3 dimensional geometry, using universal covers only. There are various forms of LOCALLY MINKOWSKY curved isotropic geometries also, in 2 and 3 dimensions. Like the 2d plane i like to call the Dual Hyperbolic plane, of indefinite signature and constant negative curvature, shaped like a torus. Or its quotient space with the topology of a Moebius band, which is in perfect 1 to 1 correspondence with the Hyperbolic plane, when interchanging points and lines, and interchanging squared distances, and squared sines of angles with each other. Going to higher dimensions than 3, there are more "flat" base geometries than Euclidean and Minkowsky.
I have a question. Isn’t there a ray that travels parallel to the ecuator, goes all the way around the sphere and interesects the back of your Head, allowing you to see yourself?
Yes! Even in higher-dimensional spheres such as the 3-sphere, every direction is described not by an extending coordinate, but by a periodic angle. In particular, there is a geodesic ("straight line") that starts and ends in your head. However, since the 3-sphere has finite volume, your enjoyment of seeing your back would not last long since any reliable source of light steadily fills the world with energy, and everything would melt or burn after some time
It looks like he didn't use a model for his first-person avatar, so there wasn't a 'yourself' to see in his example. I'm not entirely sure what it would have looked like if he had.
Earth block this ray in this particular set up. If you are floating in empty spherical space, then yes, you would see the specially inversed image of the back of your head.
@@AdenSerenity The light ray coming from his eyes would hit the ground before getting to the back of his head, because on the sphere, the ground is a great circle but the light ray is also a great circle, and you can't make two different great circles that doesn't touch on a sphere. The same apply on a hypersphere.
not really. if your head was actually at the equator then yes but otherwise the strait path would dip "up" and "down" a bit. in his example since his head was "above" the equator and everything below the equator was ground your line of sight must always hit the ground. more interesting landscapes will be more interesting tho. you can have a see the back of your head situation but it requires slightly different landscape.
This is beautiful, I was always curious about this idea but was never knew how to visualize it, like _really_ visualize it. You've both quenched my curiosity and stirred it up more. Thank you
This felt very comforting to me, like something out of my dreams. Maybe now I have an explanation for why they always feel like I'm both inside and outside - they take place in spherical space!
I said "holy sh*t" out loud when watching this because it was so close to something I dreamed. Even the realization that I was inside and outside a house at the same time.
I remember seeing another video on what a galaxy in a spherical world would look like and honestly that house was such a better explanation/example of how things on the other end look inside out
I find this geometry extremely scary for some reason. It was actually kind of hard to watch this video all the way through because I felt so scared looking at the scary nightmare world
maybe claustrophobia but isnt a close space, in reality is a close space but not like inside a box, its much more like a tiny world that has limited space, but u only thinks is infinity becuz when u see at a side, u could see ur back
@@georgiangelov13 Yeah, it was strange my mind periodically said: This is natural, but you're sick, throw up now!, and then So if light goes this way this is actually simple to understand! Then when it got tired QUICKLY! PUKE NOW!
This would be so cool as a trippy puzzle game. You’d need to walk away from signs with small print to read them. You’d also be able to peek above objects by walking away. Finally, some objects will obscure your view as they grow from distance, and you’d need to figure out which position to be to observe something from afar.
notice that the roof remains the roof is still right side up, relative to you, while the walls are upside down. And that you get out of being surrounded by approaching any given wall.
i always come back to this video because it's just so magical. it reminds me of the final scene in the movie interstellar, when the main character looks out the window in the future and sees this surreal world where hills wrap around the sky and gravity is warped. i'd love to be able to simulate spherical realities too.
the corona formed by a black hole is just the light that reaches your eye. A large proportion of the light just falls thru the event horizon. Black holes don't really bend light around themselves, they just drag light towards them, and the rays that happen to be travelling tangentially to the event horizon go into orbit. It's a bit like saying the Sun bends the solar system and solar debris around itself, v strange wording. The analogy is interesting though, because a black hole is an extreme "tightening" distortion of space, so from the outside "looking in" the geometry would appear spherical. Falling in, the very edge of the hole would represent a greater distortion, the dot of space opposite you magnified to infinity, while the infinity of space shrinks to a pinprick behind you. Cool!
It would be similar. Its what you would see if you could stand exactly at the event horizon and watch the light beams exactly circling around -- neither falling in nor escaping. Oh, and only for a non-rotating black hole with no charge. Of course none of that is plausible in the real universe: - You'd be spaghettified by tidal effects long before you got to the event horizon, never mind being able to stand on it/ - Quantum mechanics means the photons in those those light beams would eventually fall in or escape due to uncertainty (and new photons would join the party from wherever in space they originated.) - Uncharged black holes are expected to be the norm (and we've so far never observed a charged one.) The universe as a whole has (essentially) zero net charge and there's little reason to believe a black hole would have a charge bias as it accumulates its mass. So that one wouldn't really be a problem. Phew! - Non-rotation is much less likely though. I mean I guess on the absolutely grandest of scales, angular momentum should be zero (unless we want to assume that whatever caused the big bang had some pre-existing angular momentum that it fed into the early universe!) But angular momentum is a vector quantity (unlike charge which is a scalar) and the chances that the accumulated material all has angular momentum that exactly adds to zero is vanishingly small. AFAIK, we've never observed a non-rotating black hole in nature.
@@nicholasmitchell6025 Just a minor point: Rays that travel tangentially to the event horizon don't go into orbit, they go into the black hole. Photons can orbit around the photon sphere, 1.5 times farther out than the Schwarzschild radius/event horizon. Also, I think it's pretty reasonable to say that 'black holes bend light around themselves'. It's very close to the technical explanation, that is, that black holes (and other massive objects, for that matter) warp spacetime so that null geodesics go around the object in space.
@Alexander M You're right! Tangential was a misnomer. But for your second point it's all a matter of perspective. This is more of a semantic concern, but I don't think it's accurate to say a black hole bends light around itself because it isn't an active pursuit. Black holes distort spacetime and a passive result of that is the "bending of light" (more of a straight line path in this curved space!). Saying that light is pulled towards them was completely wrong, though, it's not appropriate to use Newtonian physics in a discussion about black holes (lol). Probably should have looked that one over, it was late at night though. Thanks for pointing that out
The larger the world is, the closer to flat the curvature gets and the more normal everything looks. It's the small size of this example that makes it so intense.
I like how you're always inside the fence, regardless how many times you jump over. And how you end up inside the house when you're as far away from it as possible.
Other kind of sickness I guess. VR is due to a small lag in the movements vs sensory input. The hypothesis is that it is equal to some experiences of having eaten poisonous 'things' where it would be a good idea to womit. The brain has a hard time coordinating sensory input with its 'world model'.
I always imagined a setup like this being a super cool way of having a “pocket dimension”. Like imagine a planet and a tiny star being all that inhabits this tiny world. If the planet and star were sufficiently small compared to the space, you’d have a normal horizon and sun in the sky but everywhere in the sky that’s not the sun would be the other side of the world.

"If you walk in a straight line, it looks like the world is rotating, even though you're walking straight". On the contrary, there's no such thing as going straight. The closest you can come to going straight is following a geodesic. In attempting to go straight, you DO make the world rotate. Because you're walking around the circumference of the world, that's still not going straight. Going straight would require you to leave the geometry you're in.
Depends on the definition of "straight". You are looking at a spherical geometry that's kinda embedded in a euclidean space, suggesting that the euclidean space is somehow "more valid". From an intrinsic view, a geodesic simply is a straight line. The wikipedia entry actually states that geodesics can be seen as the generalization of the term "straight line".
imagine waking up in a world like this. at first you see your room and think "just another day" you open your blinds to see your neighbor, massive, looming in the distance. you decide to walk over to them and they're normal? what is happening you think as you stumble around, trying to figure out what was in your food last night. then you collapse. your mind just could not handle it

things I'd like to see:
- jetpacking into the sky to the other side of the map (you'd have to flip halfway?)
- a pole from one side to the other
- no floor, just an "asteroid field" like situation (you would see yourself massively?)
@@Painketsu if light can travel across, so can you
@securitycountercheck if the self is solid, that "objects at infinity" thing will be irrelevant, because all light will be blocked by one's own body
@securitycountercheck you can deal with the singularity (which is more accurately referred to as the "north pole" not the "center", thinking of the 2d example) by just having the gravity decrease to zero as you get closer to it (which is what would actually happen in such a universe) Of course the camera might need to flip abruptly, but you can solve that by having the camera be free when the gravity is low enough
@securitycountercheck @securitycountercheck if there is no ground, you could look in any direction to see the other pole. also you would see past it and see your own pole again, with you projected massively on it (inside-out in every visible direction). even weirder is that, ignoring the gravity generated by the floor, every point on the map IS a "pole" and has a corresponding opposite pole.
an interesting thought experiment would be to imagine the floor as a translucent membrane. at the gravitational poles (on both sides), the floor looks like a sphere. at the floor itself, it looks like a plane. now imagine it with two such membranes crossing each other perpendicularly... at the point they cross, both are planes, but there is also a point where one is a sphere and one is a plane.

The way I thing about it is spherical geometry is the inside of a sphere, not the outside. While it is not a perfect explanation it helps me wrap my mind around the space.
But really it is neither, just the surface. It is not the inside of the sphere above him, just the "north pole" of the hyper sphere. Below him is the "south pole", so he could not escape by digging, and by going straight down he'd end up on the opposite side just as if going upwards.
In the released game there is a well you can jump in to show that effect.

I'm curious on what an intelligent life form that evolved in an environment like this would react to euclidean geometry, since their brains would be structured to understand things as getting smaller then larger and reversed above them. I feel it'll be more alien to them than spherical geometry is to us.
Ofcourse that I an unfair assumption
They'd be as confused as we are Wich is to say not alot since they would have done the same math as we have ,to understand non euclidean,
To understand euclidean
Saying they'd be more confused is like saying
A Russian won't understand french aswell
As a France person would understand russain
In truth neither of them would understand eachother at all
I think that is kind of overthinking. The thing that would be interesting would be: How would they react to moving in eucledian space? Since in spherical space, objects will experience a squishing tidal force as they move through space. They would freak out since their brains would evolve to being able to tell they are moving through said tidal force, meaning that in eucledian geometry, they have no way of telling if they are moving through space or not, this would simpky be normal for un eucledian dwellers.
I see where you're coming from, but I am not sure that's the case. Actually, I think we are just missing out on non-flat space experience in our world, but Euclidean space is always there. Locally, everything is Euclidean! Curvature is a global effect only.
“No, wait, are you saying the more I go this way, I will *NOT* eventually find my home again? What is this bizzare dimension??”
I love the idea of seeing non-euclidean geometry like this. "Non-euclidean" is so often misused for locally euclidean spaces, but this is something truly alien. This is what HP Lovecraft was so terrified of.
Yeah, the title of his "Non-Euclidean Worlds Engine" video bothers me a lot because it's really just Euclidean space but with weird doorways and tunnels that put you in different places than you'd expect. But this? This is just something else.
No kidding. This is so freaky, so alien, it's the stuff of nightmares. I remember seeing distortions like this when looking through the curved glass of tanks at the aquarium and how unsettling it was. Also, much more recently, when playing Psychonauts, there's a small part when fighting the lungfish where if you go up to the edge of the battle area (the wall of water), the water hands appear to keep you from going outside the boundary. However, when you move away, they too move away--but instead of getting smaller, they get _bigger._ I don't think it was meant to be creepy, but somehow, the idea of something getting bigger as it gets farther just freaks me out. No wonder Lovecraft referred to strange geometries so much.
That, and miscegenation
The world we live on is by definition non-Euclidean all parallel straight lines eventually converge
In Euclidean space triangles always have an interior angle of 180° and only one corner can be 90° or more
On earth starting from the equator heading north to the north pole turning 90° going back down towards the equator and returning to your point of origin you have created a triangle with three 90° angles
@@deangeloenriquez1603 The world is a sphere, but it exists in Euclidean space. It is not spherical space. This is why when we travel in a "straight line" on the earth, we're actually curving around the surface, and it is visibly a curve. In true spherical space, you could travel in a straight line, but then if you moved perpendicular to it, it would appear curved--even though it would actually be straight.
This could be the scene for such a great short story/game.

I know that it's like an inside out sphere
@@qaasi95 Not quite, the issue is defining shapes in weird coordinate systems.
'The formal definition of a circle is "The locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point called the center." To translate, that means all points (an infinite number) that are the same distance from the center.' (credit to google) Looking at the map, you can absolutely identify a point that is at the exact center of the fence (where the fence is about halfway up the wall all around). Thus, it is a circle.
However, it is undeniably straight within the coordinate system, making it a line, so you aren't wrong there.
But the Equator is also a line if you look straight down it as well as a circle centered on, well, the center of the earth, so there's no reason that I can see that it can't be both a line and a circle. (Although technically it would be a line segment at most because it does not extend infinitely, as evidenced by the fact that if you were to make a marking and follow the fence, you would eventually return to the marked spot and the fence is thereby not infinitely long)

Also, the wells and their interaction with each other blows my mind.
Meanwhile is parallel universe with spherical geometry : Euclidean geometry is so weird !!
Honestly, it wouldn't be so extremely weird. Euclidean geometry is just what spherical geometry looks like on a small scale relative to the size of the "universe", so it would just seem like you've been shrunk by some amount. And if the size of your perception relative to the size of the spherical universe was small enough to begin with, you wouldn't even notice a difference. It's entirely within conception that our universe actually is spherical...just very, very large (although cosmological evidence points against it currently).
Meanwhile in that same world: who’s Euclid?!

@@RubelliteFae Not really. If it was a concave sphere in euclidean space, objects on the other side would look smaller rather than larger. Also if he were to dig straight down, he would end up in the surface at the opposite side, while in a concave sphere he would end up outside of the sphere.

That's a pretty neat idea actually. Imagine like a wraparound toroidal map but you got to walk through the same area on a different "side" before coming back to where you come from
Elliptic projective space works as well. It also has only one side, and you can move along a straight line to mirror invert the landscape and its inhabitants (or equivalently inverting yourself). At least it works for the elliptic 2d plane, in elliptic 3d space, i suppose things are merely flipped upside down when you return.
@Electro_blob I would say 8 forms of LOCALLY EUCLIDEAN isotropic 3 dimensional geometry, using universal covers only. There are various forms of LOCALLY MINKOWSKY curved isotropic geometries also, in 2 and 3 dimensions. Like the 2d plane i like to call the Dual Hyperbolic plane, of indefinite signature and constant negative curvature, shaped like a torus. Or its quotient space with the topology of a Moebius band, which is in perfect 1 to 1 correspondence with the Hyperbolic plane, when interchanging points and lines, and interchanging squared distances, and squared sines of angles with each other.
Going to higher dimensions than 3, there are more "flat" base geometries than Euclidean and Minkowsky.

I have a question. Isn’t there a ray that travels parallel to the ecuator, goes all the way around the sphere and interesects the back of your Head, allowing you to see yourself?
Yes! Even in higher-dimensional spheres such as the 3-sphere, every direction is described not by an extending coordinate, but by a periodic angle. In particular, there is a geodesic ("straight line") that starts and ends in your head. However, since the 3-sphere has finite volume, your enjoyment of seeing your back would not last long since any reliable source of light steadily fills the world with energy, and everything would melt or burn after some time
It looks like he didn't use a model for his first-person avatar, so there wasn't a 'yourself' to see in his example. I'm not entirely sure what it would have looked like if he had.
Earth block this ray in this particular set up. If you are floating in empty spherical space, then yes, you would see the specially inversed image of the back of your head.
@@AdenSerenity The light ray coming from his eyes would hit the ground before getting to the back of his head, because on the sphere, the ground is a great circle but the light ray is also a great circle, and you can't make two different great circles that doesn't touch on a sphere.
The same apply on a hypersphere.
not really. if your head was actually at the equator then yes but otherwise the strait path would dip "up" and "down" a bit. in his example since his head was "above" the equator and everything below the equator was ground your line of sight must always hit the ground.
more interesting landscapes will be more interesting tho. you can have a see the back of your head situation but it requires slightly different landscape.

ok but isn't this like, almost EXACTLY how a black hole bends light around itself? either way, could be utilized in horror REALLY well lol
the corona formed by a black hole is just the light that reaches your eye. A large proportion of the light just falls thru the event horizon. Black holes don't really bend light around themselves, they just drag light towards them, and the rays that happen to be travelling tangentially to the event horizon go into orbit. It's a bit like saying the Sun bends the solar system and solar debris around itself, v strange wording.
The analogy is interesting though, because a black hole is an extreme "tightening" distortion of space, so from the outside "looking in" the geometry would appear spherical. Falling in, the very edge of the hole would represent a greater distortion, the dot of space opposite you magnified to infinity, while the infinity of space shrinks to a pinprick behind you. Cool!
It would be similar. Its what you would see if you could stand exactly at the event horizon and watch the light beams exactly circling around -- neither falling in nor escaping. Oh, and only for a non-rotating black hole with no charge.
Of course none of that is plausible in the real universe:
- You'd be spaghettified by tidal effects long before you got to the event horizon, never mind being able to stand on it/
- Quantum mechanics means the photons in those those light beams would eventually fall in or escape due to uncertainty (and new photons would join the party from wherever in space they originated.)
- Uncharged black holes are expected to be the norm (and we've so far never observed a charged one.) The universe as a whole has (essentially) zero net charge and there's little reason to believe a black hole would have a charge bias as it accumulates its mass. So that one wouldn't really be a problem. Phew!
- Non-rotation is much less likely though. I mean I guess on the absolutely grandest of scales, angular momentum should be zero (unless we want to assume that whatever caused the big bang had some pre-existing angular momentum that it fed into the early universe!) But angular momentum is a vector quantity (unlike charge which is a scalar) and the chances that the accumulated material all has angular momentum that exactly adds to zero is vanishingly small. AFAIK, we've never observed a non-rotating black hole in nature.
@@nicholasmitchell6025 Just a minor point: Rays that travel tangentially to the event horizon don't go into orbit, they go into the black hole. Photons can orbit around the photon sphere, 1.5 times farther out than the Schwarzschild radius/event horizon.
Also, I think it's pretty reasonable to say that 'black holes bend light around themselves'. It's very close to the technical explanation, that is, that black holes (and other massive objects, for that matter) warp spacetime so that null geodesics go around the object in space.
@Alexander M You're right! Tangential was a misnomer. But for your second point it's all a matter of perspective. This is more of a semantic concern, but I don't think it's accurate to say a black hole bends light around itself because it isn't an active pursuit. Black holes distort spacetime and a passive result of that is the "bending of light" (more of a straight line path in this curved space!).
Saying that light is pulled towards them was completely wrong, though, it's not appropriate to use Newtonian physics in a discussion about black holes (lol). Probably should have looked that one over, it was late at night though. Thanks for pointing that out
i feel like im being made fun of because I have no idea what yall are saying
lost you guys a bit after photons and it just took off from there
this is giving me the creeps dude, and thanks to all the reference and your explanations we know whats happening its nicely done.

Yes.
Jesus this is so trippy, I love it.
You're a great tutor. We appreciate you helping visual cortexes and concept cells. Thank you
This would be absolutely terrifying, my vertigo would make me hug the ground constantly.
Edit: especially with a much larger world, oh my lord
The larger the world is, the closer to flat the curvature gets and the more normal everything looks. It's the small size of this example that makes it so intense.
@@AdenSerenity
What would the sky look like in spherical world the size of earth?
@@desimujahid i guess youd see some nearer objects warped but you wouldnt be able to see far away objects like in real life
god imagine this in vr
I have terrible vertigo and agoraphobia, this was giving me sweaty palms while simultaneously being fascinating.
Now, I can easily explain, which type of dream I used to see, by showing them this video.
I like how you're always inside the fence, regardless how many times you jump over. And how you end up inside the house when you're as far away from it as possible.
This looks like minecraft acid shaders
With extra trippiness
The spherical effect looks like that of a mini world.
well it's partly because the chosen sphere was pretty small. a larger and more respectable sphere would have a much noisier sky full of more things
Like our universe could be a enormous sphere.

Spherical FPS: We don't do that here
I would love to even play in that tester area that he's showing off. It's wonderfully trippy, my jam
I'm so in love with this geometry. I think a multiplayer shooter in this kind of space would be extremely fun and interesting
If regular VR gives you motion sickness I can't even imagine how it would feel to play something like this.
OKAAAY 😦😯👍👍
Other kind of sickness I guess. VR is due to a small lag in the movements vs sensory input. The hypothesis is that it is equal to some experiences of having eaten poisonous 'things' where it would be a good idea to womit. The brain has a hard time coordinating sensory input with its 'world model'.
This is what RUclips's made for, keep up the good work!!!
I always imagined a setup like this being a super cool way of having a “pocket dimension”. Like imagine a planet and a tiny star being all that inhabits this tiny world. If the planet and star were sufficiently small compared to the space, you’d have a normal horizon and sun in the sky but everywhere in the sky that’s not the sun would be the other side of the world.
Can't wait for flat earthers to misinterpret this as proof of a flat earth

@@benthomason3307 If light was more strongly affected by gravity such that it was bound to the surface of the earth, would that simulate spherical space in that case?

Omg in dying
The way that "parallel" lines warp as they come into frame reminds me of video shot with a super-wide (180 degree FOV) fish eye lens.
This would be an amazing effect for a sequence in a video game when your character takes psychedelic drugs.
i was just waiting for him to go inside the house and i was disappointed
It would just look like a normal house, since it's relatively small the distortion would be minimal
If only he could make the inside of the house hyperbolic so that the internal corners could be at ideal points!
love the music, instant throwback to Frank Klepacki and Kyrandia
I really love this effect. It would be amazing imagery for the idea of a genie in a lamp.
It's serene, but there's no way out. You're trapped in a little world
I thinked inside a pokebal
ive never once gotten headaches or felt nauseous playing any type of games, including VR, but this is wild, makes my head feel a tad fuzzy when I look at it for too long
Fucking same dude. My brain could not process what I was seeing, and it just gets worse the longer you look.
This absolutely trips me out. I watched it when it came out and just got reminded of it and it still blows my mind
Me for the entire length of the demo:
“whoa”
“dude”
“whoooa”
“no way”
“whoa”
It almost looks like you're walking on the Inside of a Sphere (as suppose to the Outside, like with Euclidian or Hyperbolic Geometry).
the description of hyperbolic perspective makes me think it’d be excellent for horror games based around the more creepy type uncanny valley, while spheric geometry would be great for more “oh god that’s not x that’s DEFINITELY not x” uncanny valley
"If you walk in a straight line, it looks like the world is rotating, even though you're walking straight". On the contrary, there's no such thing as going straight. The closest you can come to going straight is following a geodesic. In attempting to go straight, you DO make the world rotate. Because you're walking around the circumference of the world, that's still not going straight. Going straight would require you to leave the geometry you're in.
The gays must live in this geometry
He means moving straight in that world
Depends on the definition of "straight". You are looking at a spherical geometry that's kinda embedded in a euclidean space, suggesting that the euclidean space is somehow "more valid". From an intrinsic view, a geodesic simply is a straight line. The wikipedia entry actually states that geodesics can be seen as the generalization of the term "straight line".
@@usama57926 Which is called moving along the geodesic. There is no "straight" in that geometry
@@baileybartley2463 on the contrary, living in this geometry makes you gay
imagine waking up in a world like this. at first you see your room and think "just another day" you open your blinds to see your neighbor, massive, looming in the distance. you decide to walk over to them and they're normal? what is happening you think as you stumble around, trying to figure out what was in your food last night. then you collapse. your mind just could not handle it
You should Write a Book on Waking up in one of these Alt Dimensions, I’ll Read it :)
