Understanding Science and Dimensions

The speaker reflects on childhood experiences that shaped their interest in science, inspired by Einstein's unfinished work and science fiction. They explore the concept of dimensions using a carp in a pond as a metaphor, suggesting that just as fish might not perceive a third dimension, humans might not perceive higher dimensions. The narrative emphasizes the role of science in understanding the universe and the potential for discovering new dimensions.
