    For a yacht designed by Wally, it looks a LOT like EVE!

    But but... WHY?
    Ok, sorry about that.

    Still, several obligatory luxury items missing, or not showing on the video...

    This thing needs at least a full spa, olympic internal pool, bar lounge with pool table, home theater, etc etc

    I think that if anyone could pull it off, Wally would be a candidate to. I believe they've pulled off crazy stuff before.

    This has to be one of the dumbest ideas for a yacht. Ships are shaped a certain way for a reason. Also, they show pictures of a nice view onto open sea. Why not show the truth. That the horizon would rock back and forth until you puke all over yourself.

    Am I the only one that thinks the back end sunbathing people will get soaked when the water gets choppy? Especially if they sail across the Atlantic, like they claim it can.

    Still, this'd be a great place to rip around on rollerblades.

    So, at what point are these no longer defined as "yachts"? This thing is a fucking cruise ship. It has suites and conference rooms.

    This seems like just the thing to buy on a whim, use it for six months and then realize it isn't extravagant as I once thought it was, then keep it on the market for years for more than I paid for it, trying to recoup my initial losses.

    Good grief, that thing will never be able to maneuver! Not without having an absurd number of Azipods to constantly direct it, and a huge loss of fuel. Also, this thing would probably bob like a cork. I need to see what the rest of the hull looks like.

    @gadam07: I agree, I was just thinking that the hydrodynamics of this wouldn't make a lick of sense. I think that we're seeing all of it, unless there's going to be some sort of massive dragging keel to act as God's own rudder.

    @Jeb_Hoge: Haha, yeah it would take God's own rudder to steer it. There's got to be more, though. That's the top of a really wild nabla type bulbous bow sticking out there (it should be submerged), so there needs to be more of it. I'm pretty sure WHY doesn't know how to design a proper displacement hull like this; they make sailing yachts.

    @trailingedge: There is extremely strong evidence that there was a big bang. What Ms. Levin is simplifying a bit is that the math of spacetime indicates there wasn't time or space "before" everything was compressed. That's not speculation, that's an outcome of prevalent theories. And the veil over the start of our universe isn't just handwaving, theories predict the infinitesimally small time (10^-43 seconds) and distance (the Planck length) before which they stop working. Read the physics of cosmogony.

    So, what happened outside of our universe's spacetime to bring it into being? That becomes speculation, although it's still limited and informed by the theories that can give rise to singularities and/or space-time.

    Whenever you see these science popularizing videos, rest assured there's a truckload of math behind them!!

    I'm so glad Giz posted this so I can pose this question.

    Based on what is shown in this video, couldn't there be an 11th dimension? The dimension of individual perspective?

    This dimension would be represented by a line between what 1 individual sees and what another sees.

    As with the other dimensions, there are infinite points and infinite lines.

    Two individuals looking at a mirror from a slightly different angle will see a completely different image.
