Your Life Is 7 Objects

- You can read Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time.” You can study classical literature. You can read religious texts that detail how we got here and what we’re supposed to do now.
… or you can gather up a bunch of junk from your bedroom and use it to unpack the majesty of the human experience.
The observable universe is unfathomably large, but we can use a piece of paper to understand how it got that way. Humans come in all types and vary tremendously, but really, we’d all fit inside a sugar cube.
And despite nearly 8 billion of us running around the planet, it’s pretty easy for us to stand out and do something unique.
We’re capable of great things because we’re equipped with a supercomputer that can process even the most complex problems in math, science, and ourselves. It’s not that hard to start working together, especially if we’ve got a few ways to exchange what we know, what we have, and how we feel.
Put it all together and we see what we’re working against: the absence of all that value. And because we’re such a critical part of a system too complex to understand, despite paradoxically seeming insignificant, we can find meaning inside an old briefcase.

The loud crunch at the very end is me eating a sugar cube. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. Also, yes, I did have two energy drinks before recording this one. WHOOPS.

Was that the total number of permutations of a rubicks cube, or the number of valid permutations? Not all can be solved.
I never saw a sugar cube myself, so i always thought it was soft.
I personally wouldn't recommend eating a sugar cube

This is classic-style Vsauce: a lightning round of seemingly unrelated ideas that all come together at the end. 👍
it's a timeless style
Although in the grand scheme of things, sometimes it's simply too open to interpretation that they can, and will, if you think about it, go back to the state of being unrelated (now, not seemingly)
And classic Kevin style: Lots and lots of screaming.

"every scramble of a cube can be solved in 20 moves or fewer"
Me: 321781 moves
Can be simply means that is possible. It does not mean that it is easy to do. However, with enough dedication, most people can solve a cube in 20 moves or fewer. Most people, however, prefer to spend their time on other things. From what I understand, it is like learning art. The more you draw, the better you get at it. It may take some people a longer time to master various aspects of art, but with enough dedication you can get similar results as any great artist. (Assuming you have the necessary tools for the artwork, of course).
@@phantomzo8209 well said buddy
@@phantomzo8209 k
Thing is for example Speedcubing is not necessarily about getting the least amount of moves. You cannot quickly see a cube in some permutation for the first time and immediately know what 20 moves you need, so you use algorithms that solve EVERY single permutation. There is a separate category where people do try to achieve God’s Number. Here you get a scrambled cube and you have one hour to come up with the solution with the least amount of moves you can manage. That is way harder than it sounds
I never solved a rubik's cube, now i feel even more useless than before

I remembered shuffling a deck of playing cards when I was a kid. And when I stopped and looked at the cards I shuffled it was ALL in perfect order (just what you'd see if you bought a new deck). Like what are the chances of that? It's so improbable that I don't think people would even believe me if I told them
Bro you were a child probably your shuffling technique wasn't the best so probably resuffed back to the initial position unless you initially started with a shuffled deck in which case your not a human
It's just as likely as any other combination. Two of us getting that would be even more rare, so yeah, congrats if that's true

Great, folding a paper 108 times makes its thickness the size of the universe but what about its area(length×width)?
Not every paper, a normal A4 is not big enough to do that because at some point you run out of atoms. Imagine folding it so much that you now have a single line of atoms , if you did this in a normal A4 paper you wont reach the size of the universe because you cant fold anymore. You need a huge paper. Someone did the math but I'm too lazy to find it.

After shuffling the deck of cards I can now say that you will not be able to do what I just did :-D
I'll have the simulation's rulers tell me how you shuffled it and then I'll do it again. No matter the cost
You underestimate my power
the chances are low ... BUT NEVER ZERO
If someone built a robot to continuously shuffle cards, how long would it take to repeat?
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 If you had a bilion robots doing a shuffle each second and let them run for bilion ages of the universe, you would still have a 0.0000000000000000000000000000005% chance of success
I love how fast-paced this video is
i love how you placed a cube in the video because i love them!
Fun fact: using the Birthday Paradox as a model, it'd take around 1.06 x 10^34 shuffles of a deck of cards before you'd have 50:50 odds of a repeated ordering. If we sent colonies to every planet in the Milky Way, waited until they each had 10 billion people there, then made them all shuffle cards once every 10 seconds for 16 hours a day, it'd take 5 million years to get 50:50 odds of there being a repeated shuffle.
