SCP-033 - The Missing Number (SCP Animation)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2021
- SCP 033 is a Euclid Class anomaly also known as The Missing Number.
SCP-033 appears as a field of complex mathematical symbols ranging from simple layman-identifiable representations to those only interpretable by highly-trained mathematicians.
As all modern mathematical calculations are performed lacking the knowledge or use of SCP033, its introduction into any system organized without it begins eroding the numerical and eventually structural integrity of said system. This effect extends to SCP-033's transfer to any paper-like (defined as paper, vellum, papyrus, canvas) surface not possessing 033-Safe dimensions or any computing or recording device it is input into. If inscribed on any other material, SCP-033 fades into unintelligibility in precisely 2560 seconds. In addition, SCP-033 has shown an ability to "leap" from an 033-Safe material to a manufactured or electronic material which it can destabilize in at least one (1) instance (Incident report 033-D), requiring the institution of a 30 meter safe distance for electronic devices and paper-like products without 033-Safe dimensions.

Fun fact, there is an actual mathematical paradox that consists of this. There are numbers currently not named, but the moment u name one of those it will automatically lose that property and another number from the absolute infinite will take it's place. Kinda like the Wikipedia paradox.
now that's cool
What the wikipedia paradox
That's kinda wrong. No "new" number can take the place of a number you just named, because it *already is* in the category of "numbers that have never been named". And because there's an infinite number of numbers, there's an infinite number of "unnamed" numbers, meaning that after removing a number from this category, it stays infinite.
What's the wikipedia paradox?

I too want to know what the Wikipedia paradox is

Wait would that work knowing 682 it'll probably adapt to it if the formula isn't quick enough or it could be an infinite loop or in the most unlikely chance we find the number we might have a way to finally kill 682
Cognitohazards tend to mix with the lizard
Bro I was literally just thinking about that too
the lizard tends to merge with cognitohazards, but you may be onto something
1) split the formula into quadrants
2) record and display each quadrant on separate mediums
3) keep said mediums 30 meters apart
4) always have the pieces of the equation in four separate locations
5) profit

Smart idea! I mean, just a tattoo would be enough.
I think you have a courier in the scp foundation
Or 682, if not to destroy it. Then at least to help keep it contained. Or if comes down to it, the foundation could even use it on 096 to finally give it the mercy it wants of no longer existing.
Hunter: imagine a number that does not exist

In order to weaponize the equation, you'll want to put 2 parts on seperate specialized stamps, and then use both on the target, while aligning them perfectly.
You know, what I wonder?
Maybe SCP-033 isn't just the only forgotten number, but maybe the only known one of infinite numbers we forgot.
Mind blowing 🤯
If 033 has the same properties of other numbers, then yes, theres an infinite other numbers that has 033 as a numerical factor.
EG: Θʻ x 2 = 2Θʻ, Θʻ x 3 = 3Θʻ, etc. to
Θʻ x ♾ = ♾Θʻ
@@TheGhostGuitars Is your computer broken?
Well, there are infinitely many numbers that humans will never know or use. But I would say that "forgot" is the wrong word there.
If this is true, if these numbers all had the same effects as SCP-033, and if all such missing numbers were put into a single formula, what would happen?

6:47, someone took a photo of the paper the equation was on therefore storing it digitally and then managed to print it out without anything disintegrating
Im surprised that people dont slowly disintegrate after researching this scp. After all the equation is in their memories while they work on it.
Maybe they never correctly solve it so they're is safe
Methinks the SCP Explained thumbnail for this video suggest this. I suspect that IF the number is to be completely understood by someone, then it's quite possible that person could suffer the similar fate of everything else the number equation was stored on. I guess this is one case where the axiom "Ignorance is bliss" is true!

I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED AT THE BEGINNING HOW THIS IDEA IS DUMB AND IMPOSSIBLE, THEN CLAIM THAT WE'LL SOON LEARN HOW IT'S NOT DUMB AND IMPOSSIBLE, THEN NEVER TELL US.
Theory: Since different universes have different physics, it's possible that if you invented math in another universe with different physics, you'd end up with different numbers, formulas, equations, etc. Im thinking that SCP-033 is from a universe with different physics where the mystery number in question DOES exist. But, some extradimensional wacko brough the equation to the SCP Universe, and since the equation is incompatible there, attempting to apply it or inscribe it somewhere causes violent, anomalous reactions.
according to the church of the second hyoth it was "banished for crimes unspoken" they don't know why, but they trust the judgement of their gods
What if you split the missing number between multiple irregular surfaces so it's only the missing number when aligned properly
That could work

Back when SCP was fairly new, this one almost made me give up the whole SCP universe in disgust, because to me it just seemed like the article was written by someone who didn't comprehend that the undecimal system is a real thing, and then they just reinvented it with one number being cursed somehow.
If I gave up scp every time someone didn’t understand something and then misrepresented it, idve stopped reading it long ago. Grow some skin, these are amateur writers, not professional mathematicians
This reminds me when i was studying limits for the first time.
For example, the value of (x^3 + 1)/(x + 1) when x goes to -1, at first you calculate ( (-1)^3 +1 ) / (-1 + 1), and that is 0/0 which is undefined, so it does not exist!
BUT you can factor (x^3 + 1) into (x+1)(x² -x + 1), and then you have the same limit written as (x² -x + 1) when x goes to -1, so we have ( (-1)² - (-1) + 1 )and we have the result 3, and that exists!
The point is: In Math, you may stumble on into somethings that does not exist, but there is a way to make sense of it and find some way to bring it into existance.
Maybe theta prime is one peculiar case of that, it's process is so complicated that bringing it into existance is enough to cause anomalous effects on reality.
PS: Please mathematicians, do not slaughter me. I know i wasn't rigorous but i was just trying to make everyone understand without prior knowledge.
Imagine if this missing number, if somehow plugged into equations detailing how the universe worked, revealed the missing information needed to make the Standard Model complete, or something like that? Like, the standard model works, but it's like a puzzle with bits missing. It makes sense, it's useful for explaining things, but it's not entirely complete either.
That's one of the requirements to make SCP-3426 completely collapse everything on Earth.
Maybe this number can apply to physics beyond event horizon, as classical and quantum laws of physics break down in there
Highly unlikely. This kind of mathematical system has existed for some time and is called an Abelian Ring. Let me explain in layman's terms.
What you think of as normal three dimensional space (before all the relativity stuff and quantum mechanics). In mathematics is called Euclidean space or Euclidean Geometry (hence horror writer H.P. Lovecraft talking so much about non-euclidean geomerty, that's just any space or object that isn't "normal").
For a space to be Euclidean it has to meet a set of 8 axioms (an axiom is just a mathematical statement about something). If any mathematical set or body (or universe) meets all 8 axioms then it is a Euclidean space and all the algebra, geometry, and trigonometry they tried to teach you in high-school applies. If any one of them isn't obeyed then you need an entirely different mathematical system to describe it and it is non-euclidean (mathematicians usually keep this kind of math to themselves as very few people have need of it except theoretical physicists).
One of the axioms alows for the construction of the integers (also called the county numbers or the set of numbers {1,2,3,4,5,...ect}). This SCP supposedly is a mathematical proof that the integers as defined conain an additional element (number) let's call it ϕ (because I want to talk about it, I have to call it something, and I think the Greek letter phi looks cool). So the new integers would be I = {ϕ} U {1,2,3,...}, but this is a known mathematical set! It is ω1 also known as The First Uncountable Ordinal, and it's mathematical properties are very different from the integers I. If you try to go on and verify the other 7 axioms you run into problems immediately. If you try to use ω1 to construct Q (set of all fractions with integers in the numerator and denominator) it gets all F-up. Then trying to use Q to build IR (set of all real numbers) you would get an uncountable Infinite (bigger then infinite or countable infinity, but smaller then complex infinity [don't ask]) number of new numbers everywhere between every existing pair of numbers.
The details aren't important, suffice it to say it would fail some of the other axioms. This would mean that the universe we live in isn't Euclidean and that the mathematical models that things like chemical bonds, atomic structures, electron orbitals, and atomic nuclei structure that all things have been observed to be carefully obey in all available data are fundamental invalid, and may fail at any moment.
So you see this mathematical system just creates a much denser number space which isn't really useful with resolving the standered model with quantum mechanics. You are just creating an infinite amount of noise which crops up in every mathematical system.
Imagine if this equation was how the computer from hitchhikers guide came up with the answer of 42
I've had my theories on how to complete said models, but... They're just "theories," I suppose.

Love the 7th son album art/thumbnail. Well done creator.
Something similar has happened before actually, for a long time zero wasn't recognized as a number. It couldn't even be properly understood because of how language effects our minds. Now, of course, we have the concept of zero and it makes a lot of calculations possible that we're before. I'd imagine this missing number has a similar effect
So it’s basically Rayo’s number. The only thing that can crash a Turing machine.
Also LNGN, the true largest number. (Due to BB(n) being Turing based, it is also able to break a Turing machine, so does my delta function)
Can’t they write 0-33 on The hard to kill reptile? Worth a try
[SCP-033] pieces fell off as a result
Probably nothing will happen, because anything that’s not a compute or paper will just have the number fade away immediately or rearrange to become illegible
The only risk I could see is it potentially absorbing some of the properties of the number or even somehow being able to understand it, and that potentially making it even more dangerous.
Other than that though it could be worth a shot, best case scenario it either kills the lizard or the lizard serves as an extra means of permanent storage of the number.
@@poptart9162 I REALLY like your thought process here.

@@KetoCommander great minds think alike
Idk why but when I think about it I my head just hurts
I didn't know you were able to voice act so well!
11:36 Perhaps a better comparison would be the introduction of new numbers, i.e. going from natural numbers to integers to the rationals, then to the reals and later to the complex numbers.
I feel like that last step might be the best one to imagine it, as the complex numbers were only really discovered/invented when a formula proven to work would have needed their existence to work properly.
The problem here would be to solve x^3-15x = 4, while the formula would produce cbrt(2+sqrt(-121))+cbrt(2-sqrt(-121)), which includes square roots of negative numbers, something that back then was thought to be impossible,
or at the very least " " "missing" " ".
Either that or i am so tired that I understand things that don't make any sense, idk
that wouldnt work . it would create a paradox coz when u intrdouce a new number or name it another one will replace it from the infinity making it same as it used to be
This makes me remember a dream in which someone made me say an impossible/'non-existing' word and my brain crashed so hard I woke up

Wonder what happens if you write SCP-033 on SCP-682...?
Good question. I would like to see that tried
A compute can "see" in 4 dimensions easily. It just has to simulate it all and it see's all of the values at the same time. The issue arises when we want to view that 4th dimension. The computer can't show you everything so it shows you from one spot (the monitor) or multiple spots (multiple tabs) but it can't show you from every spot like it sees.
This Theta Prime is the Universe source code, that higher reality beings use to jump start a reality simulation.
Plot twist: SCP-033 is a negative square root divided by zero
That wouldn't surprise me

the reptile would probably adapt by letting the formulas disappear or by splitting itself from its skin.
The author of an SCP article has the say in which other SCPs(if ANY) are canon in the universe that their article is written in.
That is to say, the author of SCP-033 probably did not put SCP-682 in the universe that the article exists in.
It is like this because few SCPs would make sense otherwise since you'd have to consider all 5000+ other SCPs...

Appearance: SCP-7253 appears to be a restaurant with red walls and gold/black tiles on the floor. Outside the restaurant is a sign with glowing letters with an unknown power source reading “HARINGTON DINER” It should be noted that the lights flicker, meaning they are powered by something.
Anomalous Effect: SCP-7253-1, also known as Trisha Harington, serves as a cashier of the diner. When ordering food from a nonexistent menu, she will shout for one of three chefs, also known as 7253-2 instances, to prepare the food. The chef’s names are Bill Parake, Sèv Somerson, and Keo Moras. After an amount of time that is always the same but impossible to measure, Bill, Sèv, or Keo will come from the kitchen, triggering one of three anomalous effects depending on the chef. Bill appears to be a rotting corpse with a wide smile always on their face. They trigger permanent paranoia and anxiety. Sèv looks like a skeleton with no jaw and a chef hat on. He also has blinding white pupils that don’t seem to affect the other staff. His anomalous effect is permanent blindness. Keo appears to be an amorphous blob of black slime, with various organism’s eyeballs stuck in it. His anomalous effect is permanent depression.

Why would another unknown corrupt and destroy stuff? What is actually different about the number other than the fact that it is unknown and the formula for creating it is extremely advanced math.
I mean think about the number 1 in every term you can count it as infinity

I think that the “Missing Number” is literally the form of nothing, not just 0 nothing, but absolute nothingness. That’s the reason it destroys every material it was written on. It transforms it into nothingness

George Carlin joke
I want a lore tale on the man who wrote this equation as he was writing it. I bet it was some psycho obsessed man who was writing the equation for months on end, day after day, trying to make it work.
this equation reminds me of two things:
1: the creation of new numbers isn't new to us. in our modern world, we count using a system called base-10. base-10 can count 1-9 (decimal) as in it's name. but we haven't always counted up to ten. in computers, hexadecimal goes to 15 (1-F), binary is just one (0-1) and octal goes to 7.
Hutchinson in his explanation of the gap in counting seems to suggest it's a finite number, i think it would be here.
2: we might need to create a whole new field of mathematics in order to understand this.
I know, I know. it's probably an understatement, it's probably oversaid. but let me speak here.
this number breaks every single rule of mathematics. you thought math was always provable? Kurt Gödel would say otherwise, as he changed the entire game. if he could change math to the point people feared it would make their work impossible, this could too.
Bertrand Russell known for his Principia Mathematica would have loved this. He and Whitehead would maybe have finish the volume 2
couldn't they just write parts of the equation on different pieces of paper
LOL
But that would result in 033's existence, making all the papers disintegrate
What if they recreated the formula in one of those perspective art pieces that only read or look right from a specific angle? With the pieces not connected or actually *making the formula* as it would only exist in our perspective, it could probably exist in a mundane and not existentially-damaging way.
so basically a subspace of reality was somehow created without one of the notable parts of reality and when that missing part is reintroduced, it starts breaking apart that subspace and re-ordering it back into normal reality
except the subspace is so large that we live inside it
Thank you for posting at least once a week. I really appreciate it and look forward to your vids versus all the other SCP channels. Keep up the awesome animation and VOICE lol
Its crazy how true it is. humans "invented" numbers. Like i can say its 2pm when its 8p if i wanted to. The only reason why im "wrong" is b/c society agreed on how times move and when to tell the time
That can be said about literally any concept though. I can say 'paper' is actually called 'candy' and the only reason I'm wrong is because society agreed it's called paper
this is a "how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't" tier comment.
2 things
1:if you read it,you store it in your brain,thus destroying your brain
2:now right it on 682
This concept would be so interesting from a more theory-crafting mathematical level if explored differently.
Something akin to SCP-033, in ternary base (where the numbers go 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20... corresponding to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...), the number 0.1 would be equal to 0.3333... so it's a number that we can understand but we "cannot properly write" without using any operation. I thought SCP-033 would be based on something similar, like a number that exists, but it cannot be interpreted under any numerical scale or any operation ever.
They should try disorienting 682, and writing Theta Prime on him
So 682 will become immune to higher dimensional [REDACTED] assimilation.
They could use it when it arrives the time to fight [REDACTED] once again.
You must be talking about derf, the number between 5 and 6.
Numbers aren't a force of nature, but they help us grasp the crazy concept of what nature truely is
They could Make a numbering system where instead of number there are colours (for example 1=white, 2=green etc) and then that for every number and sign, and basically mix those colors like the numbers
Numbers *are* tools, but they are tools meant to equal values, which *are* metaphysical compenents of reality.
This is like the Anti-Life Equation from DC, especially with how it disintegrates whatever it’s on
It'd make a lot more sense if it wasn't referred to as a missing number, but rather an unresolved formula, or just some mathematical paradox.
Numbers can't be missing, while the names are made up, the amount of something can always be quantified. For instance, if I have an apple, i have 1, if i grab another, i have 2 apples. You cannot provide me a set of apples that I can't apply a number to.
What if you tattooed SCP-033's formula onto a D-Class and kept them in an isolated cell with a viewing window?
Hey, mathematician here. Wrote this bare bones explanation of why this SCP does what it does. Tried to explain all the terminology, if I missed anything you don't understand feel free to reply and let me know:
What you think of as normal three dimensional space (before all the relativity stuff and quantum mechanics). In mathematics is called Euclidean space or Euclidean Geometry (hence horror writer H.P. Lovecraft talking so much about non-euclidean geomerty, that's just any space or object that isn't "normal").
For a space to be Euclidean it has to meet a set of 8 axioms (an axiom is just a mathematical statement about something). If any mathematical set or body (or universe) meets all 8 axioms then it is a Euclidean space and all the algebra, geometry, and trigonometry they tried to teach you in high-school applies. If any one of them isn't obeyed then you need an entirely different mathematical system to describe it and it is non-euclidean (mathematicians usually keep this kind of math to themselves as very few people have need of it except theoretical physicists).
One of the axioms alows for the construction of the integers (also called the county numbers or the set of numbers {1,2,3,4,5,...ect}). This SCP supposedly is a mathematical proof that the integers as defined conain an additional element (number) let's call it ϕ (because I want to talk about it, I have to call it something, and I think the Greek letter phi looks cool). So the new integers would be I = {ϕ} U {1,2,3,...}, but this is a known mathematical set! It is ω1 also known as The First Uncountable Ordinal, and it's mathematical properties are very different from the integers I. If you try to go on and verify the other 7 axioms you run into problems immediately. If you try to use ω1 to construct Q (set of all fractions with integers in the numerator and denominator) it gets all F-up. Then trying to use Q to build IR (set of all real numbers) you would get an uncountable Infinite (bigger then infinite or countable infinity, but smaller then complex infinity [don't ask]) number of new numbers everywhere between every existing pair of numbers.
The details aren't important, suffice it to say it would fail some of the other axioms. This would mean that the universe we live in isn't Euclidean and that the mathematical models that things like chemical bonds, atomic structures, electron orbitals, and atomic nuclei structure that all things have been observed to be carefully obey in all available data are fundamental invalid, and may fail at any moment.
If the matter these objects were on didn't disintegrate so quickly they would likely also disobey laws of probability, economics, marketing, optimization and anything else that could be described by equations.
I would be lying if said I understood everything. But it was a great read none the less, Thanks.
But the universe is non-euclidean. Space-time is not a flat plane, which is where Euclidean Geometry (what most people know as simply Geometry) takes place. It is just a single branch of study.
Non- Euclidean geometry is completely valid and more applicable than Euclidean geometry once you enter higher mathematics courses.
Euclidean geometry also does not define any of the sets of infinite numbers, be it Natural or Real etc... That would be Set Theory (see Cantor), which does indeed include it's own paradox, but that is something totally different.
Euclidean Geometry (and non-euclidian as well) is not a number system at all in the first place...it is a way to construct proofs of equality using only a compass and a straight edge.
And non-euclidian geometry is pretty much required for any branch of higher math. Conic sections, polar coordinates, and set theory.
It shouldn't be a secret to any mathematician as it is the next step after Geometry that introduces proofs using different axioms - even so, just like Euclidean geometry (or geometry) it does not use or define any number system.
Algebra is the start of number systems and it is Descartes who finally combines the two (algerbra with geometry) using the Cartesian coordinate plane.
Shit - I don't want to be a jerk but this comment is just incorrect. You have pulled in a lot of Set Theory ideas, just attributed them to the wrong mathematical branch...
(Edit: Non-euclidian geometry also doesn't invalidate any of the math learned in high-school, is just expands on how proofs can be constructed and what axioms are valid based upon how the math is to be used...again, sorry)
@@catloowitlatkla6116 Thanks for noting that. Your comment should have more likes.
Considering that a human can look at the missing number formula and thus store it in their brain I assume that means that it can be stored in/on living things without breaking them down.
Hypothesis on how to contain the number; write it into a panel of a tesseract containing liquid, it jump from a panel to another and the water since it has no patrern keep it inside.
This one always pissed me off, like oh we just missed out on a number. One plus something is going to be an observable number
SCP 033: exists
Foundation OCD scientists: challenge accepted!
tho, epic weapon: tell an enemy you want to show them cool math, write it in their hand, watch them disappear.
I've considered trying to write a tale for this SCP before, though I don't really have the writing talent or motivation to go through with it. Basically my idea was what if a researcher tried to recreate theta-prime physically? Say you have a box of 9 apples, one for each single digit number, and now you ask where is the theta-primeth apple? The idea would be the researcher creates a physical process of following the equation, so addition would be adding more apples, subtraction taking them away, and division cutting them into equal sized pieces as necessary, until eventually he finds the theta-primeth apple and then... well something horrible happens to him presumably, but I think it's an interesting premise.
It's interesting, but the majority of number are simply impossible to exist, negative numbers, imaginary numbers and even large enough numbers (like a gogolplex). Considering how "complex" SCP-033 is, I think he probably is in this category of "physically impossible".
But there really exist numbers that can't be calculated even though a formula for them can be described. I advice looking into busy beaver numbers. If theta prime is one of those numbers, it can't be calculated by such process
you could write the number in parts on separate sheets of transparent paper and line them up without them touching so that you can see the complete number
reminds me of "The Secret Number", a short film on the DUST channel with the same general idea. There's a whole number between 3 and 4 ("Bleem") that exists, but for some reason we keep overlooking. And a mathematician is determined to prove it.
there are infinite numbers between 3 and 4 :/
Pretty sure the person that wrote that read this SCP first.
@@razin7531 WHOLE number. As in no decimal point. like 3 or 4, not 3.99999999 etc.
@@doctorteethomega quite possible!
Hey guys, can you do a "explained" video on the SCPs - Mal-O and Coffee Machine, please. Very much appreciated.
Vast majority of numbers are like this actually. This is a problem in mathematics, and is covered by the continuum hypothesis. Actually the theoretically knowable numbers are so rare, that their measure (total length covered by them) on the number line is 0, while the unknowable (irrational) numbers GIVE the length of parts of the number line.
"listen up safe. I will spill your contents even have to tear you apart. But by bit. Molecule by molecule. Atom by atom! Uh oh..."
Why don't we use SCP 033 to neutraliza SCP 682 , writing it with a Lazer
There’s no way 682 would ever cooperate
@@lilcreeper2635 i know , and for that we could use the way they tried to neutralize SCP 682 with SCP2521 but instead of writing on it 2521s name we could write SCP 033 on 682
Record it between two pages, so, side by side pages hold half of the characters, and crossing ones eyes compiles the image.
Other numbers keep count, numbers characterize actual quantities, but that-numeral is opposite of counting, its causal-math.
That's like infinite transcendental numbers out there on the real number line no human can ever have access to so...
