Hm, the video mentions the fourth dimension as being akin to that of spacetime. I view the fourth dimension in a geometric space though, with it representing a unit in Euclidean space I think its called.

It's interesting to see Einstein's General Relativity explained in such a short video, but I wonder how many aspects they missed or got wrong in doing so. I cannot provide an answer, however, since I'm not that familiar with this concept... Yet.
