Quite cool in my humble opinion.

That was pretty cool, actually. Now to watch "hot chicks have a pillow fight," which, according to break.com, is closely related to this video.

Nah. As Tobicles points out, the video isn't a very good explanation of the concept of higher dimensions - in fact, it's entirely inaccurate. This video is much better. Also see Wikipedia's articles on the fourth dimension and string theory, as they're much more informative.
If you're just interested in confusing yourself, try and read through an explanation of the general number field sieve and shor's algorithm.

Whoa, alright so i read those posts and watched the vid and a few more, and i see what you are talking about. And now I have spent a while watching tons of crazy scientific theories about quantum physics, and all I can say is that it is fucking crazy. I have to say one of the coolest things i read was about quantum teleportation of information between two atoms and how that could lead to 0 ping internet, which is fucking awesome.

Okay, now I'm mind-fucked, moreso than before I reckon.

His monotone voice is subliminally hypnotising us.

Well that was the most educationally confusing 11 minutes of my life.

Possibly because it was entirely wrong; read the thread next time.

I don't think you caught the sarcasm there..
I was just following up on the subliminal hypnosis.

I find the TED video fascinating, but I don't think it will be correct in the long run. If the LHC works correctly, then hopefully that shape(E8) he showed us morphs into (I hope) a circle. That would explain everything to me. Perfect Symmetry.
