Thanks Levi. Really appreciate the time that you're taking to support Dianna. You're a good person 👍

Dianna also has a go fund me page where people can help.

Thanks Levi. Keep sending us these golden nuggets. Just joined the Microwave gang from Radio hoping that the warmth will help Dianna to a speedy recovery.

We are a 3d surface on a 4d balloon!

I like the raisin bread metaphor, which I believe was in one of the finished public videos. The one I heard many years ago that helped me visualize it was similar; it was compared to a sponge that starts compressed into a small ball but then expands -- and every part inside it is expanding at the same time. The raisin bread one is similar, especially during the rising process, but probably even better, because the raisins are the concentrations of mass, like our planet, which stay the same size as the bread expands around it in every direction (which I believe was the original point described).

I think it's easier to imagine extra dimensions by first imagining fewer dimensions. Like a 2d plane on a sphere can be without an edge by virtue of having no up or down. Similarly, our 3d universe can be without end if it is on the surface of a "sphere" that is one dimension more complex than it. We can't experience the dimension our universe is wrapped around anymore that a 2d being on the surface of a globe.

Thank you for sharing & caring. Get well soon.

Dianna is such a great teacher. I love these casual encounters. Thanks for sharing this, Levi.

I think we are all glad to hear Diana is getting better - although very sorry that it is such a long process. However long it takes, take what ever time is needed for her to regain her health. We'll be here.

I don't mind re-runs, Just take care of her.

thanks for the update. glad to hear she is better...

Craig Kickel

When there's time, please share insight into anything which helped improve her situation. There are many longer Covid folks and far too little information.

And thanks for the health update. On a personal note, the last video brought back memories of my now-adult son who has had a very long-term post-viral very slow recovery after the H1N1 epidemic -- our family has colloquially started referring to Long H1N1 because it looks so familiar to what we're seeing now under the label Long COVID. To hear that Dianna is out of the hospital now is such a relief. I know many of us were waiting anxiously for an update. "She is in no way out of this" --> TRUTH. Hoping and praying that she continues on the upward trajectory, regardless of how slow it may be or how many setbacks along the way. Seeing someone so healthy and energetic suddenly taken down by a virus that so many others have gotten and bounced back from is frightening, confusing, and disheartening. Best to Dianna and her family and friends.

Suzanne Strickland

Thank you for the updates Levi. I am sure it is difficult to push through the uncertainty of the effects of Long Covid. I know we appreciate everything team Physics Girl is doing.

(Levi typing) ALSO - Please remember that this is not fact checked. Part of Dianna's process is always extensively fact checking everything before it is sent out. I edited this myself and she would probably have critiques or better ways to express it if she were to view it now. I'm just a simple editor who majored in film, cut me some slack haha.
