      @@sebtaylor6414That is the multiple universe interpretation. Where every single time a proverbial dice is thrown. Another universe is created where it landed on another face. So every single time an particle is observed or collapses into 1 probability, then a bunch of other universes are created where the probability collapsed differently. Meaning all probability’s happen at once but in different universes we will never have access to.
      For example in schrodinger’s cat. The cat may die in our universe, but in another universe the cat is alive.

    Friend of mine wrote to the Australian Mint to complain about the size of the 50 cent coin. They actually replied saying "you may be interested to know that the Australian 50 cent piece is the largest and heaviest coin in circulation anywhere in the world. And there are no plans to downsize it." It's inhumane, those things are wallet busters.

    In Indian history their is a very long and wide story (which contains many events in it one by one and also many parallel that's why wide) named 'Mahabharat' also referred as 'Bharat'. just like the machine said in this video that can flip a coin and also roll a die in an exact way to give output as number intended, their is a man in this story. Much before the great war between Kauravs and Pandavs began, there was a 'dyut' (game of dies) between them. In this game on the Kaurav's side this man named 'Shakunee' was rolling dies for them. by listening to the rattling sounds of the two dies he could determine the number of the upcoming roll. and also he could decide the number that was to be shown on the dies. so as the need of the game he could generate the number on the die and so always won the game.

      @@marcogiordano9359 Actually what it means is that when god created the universe, he didn't create it at random, he had a plan and knew what went where. Everything has an order and everything has a meaning, we and our futures are predetermined, we are a part of the plan, every event that has happened or will happen, was already pre written by god, it means we dont have a free will, but act based on what was written. Michael also made a mistake, Einstein said that "god didn't play dice", not "god played dice". When you play dice, the outcome is random, when you dont play dice it means you dont play random but rather have a plan. Its like the video they made, its not a random script, its a predetermined script, it was written with the thought of randomness. So in short, what Einstein said, we, our thoughts, our actions, our decisions, our lifes are not random but predetermined and we are a part of someones plan. we act on someones plan without the free will we think we have. Hope this helped.

      Another 50c fact: the original 50c coins in 1966 were round and 80% silver. They're worth a lot more than 50c each now because they each contain about a third of an ounce of silver. They're still legal tender but rarely show up in circulation unless an old lady finds a jar of them in a closet or something.

  • @prabbit237
    @prabbit237 9 месяцев назад

    The stacking of the dice and showing one stack is higher than the other (probably) isn't due to inconsistent manufacturing tolerances but is really intentional. When you dig out a single divot on one side and six of them on the other, it messes with the center of gravity. So it makes sense that a die may be made slightly larger in one direction than another, and that the divots may not be exactly centered, so that the center of gravity is adjusted back to the physical center.
    The best way to test for that is to not just make one stack of 3s and another stack of 6s but to make two stacks of 2s with the divots all upper-left to lower-right (or top-to-bottom for the 6s.) If they both come out the same, try it again with 3s and then with 6s (no need to do 1, 4 and 5 as they have already been done face-down.) Then do the same with the divots going the other way. If all stacks are the same size, then you know the tolerances are very tight. But doing them with random orientations simply averages out the sizes, which is likely to wind up the same height, and using two different values for the "same number" stacks (unless it's a case of 1s and 6s, 2s and 5s or 3s and 4s and where the face-up and face-down are orientated the same way) may show the difference due to intentional slight variations in the size in each direction.

      Your welcome.

    Michael: Randomly appears in RUclips recommendations and randomly starts talking about randomness, while sitting on a bench with the most random thing written on it (4:00).
    Also Michael: Nothing is random.
    ... Or is it?

    Everyone:death is inevitable
    Michael:or is it?

      But what IS death? Is it when the heart stops beating? Or is it when the brain stops working? How do we know that it is the brain that is our consciousness and not something else? How do we know that the death of the body means the death if the conscious and conversely, how do we know that it is not the death of the conscious?

    I Love this. Vsauce's video with Veritasium is called "What is Random" and is 11:11 min long, Veritasium's video with Vsauce is called "What is NOT Random" and is 10:00
