Dumb down Summary: 1. In the flat, 2D world of a piece of paper, we can easily understand different shapes, like circles and squares. But in the 3D world we live in, shapes get much more complicated. 2. Mathematicians are really interested in understanding 4-dimensional shapes, which are even harder to picture. They want to know if there are different types of 4D shapes that look the same on the outside, but are actually different on the inside. 3. Mathematicians have come up with a few different ways to study 4D shapes. They can try to build different 4D shapes and then figure out how to tell them apart. They also use special math tricks called "invariants" to help identify differences between shapes. 4. Over the years, mathematicians have gone through a few different periods of studying 4D shapes. In each period, they've gotten better at both making new 4D shapes and finding new ways to tell them apart. 5. Recently, mathematicians have started using some new, clever tricks to study 4D shapes. They're finding new ways to construct 4D shapes, and they're also finding new "invariants" that can help them figure out if two 4D shapes are really the same or different. 6. One of these new tricks is called the "slic approach." It involves finding a special loop or knot in one 4D shape that doesn't exist in another 4D shape. This can show that the two shapes are different, even if they look the same on the outside. 7. Mathematicians are also using computers to help them find new 4D shapes that might be different. They're making lots of different 4D shapes and then using machine learning to try to figure out if any of them are really different on the inside. 8. One really cool idea is that the differences between 4D shapes can be hidden in a tiny, simple part of the shape. Mathematicians call this part a "cork," and they've shown that this cork is the key to understanding how 4D shapes can be different. 9. Using this idea of the "cork," mathematicians have been able to make some of the simplest possible examples of 4D shapes that are actually different on the inside, even though they look the same on the outside. 10. By understanding these simple, "corky" 4D shapes, mathematicians are hoping to get a better idea of where all the different types of 4D shapes come from, and how they're related to each other. It's like solving a big puzzle, one piece at a time!
just learned that this lady gained significant recognition for solving a longstanding problem concerning the Conway knot, a complex structure in knot theory. In 2018, as a graduate student, she demonstrated that the Conway knot is not "slice," resolving a question that had puzzled mathematicians for over 50 years. Congratulations
Right! I remember reading about her back ago, about the knot theory, when she was “just” a student. Pure inspiration, beautiful mind. Glad to watch a lecture of her
@@Hyphanym I know that you thought that your comment was a smart comment and many unassuming people would obviously co sign it thinking that they would have sounded smart if they said it too. But the first mobile phone technology was created in World War 2 in a device known as an EE-5 Artillery Field Phone which led to generation of mobile telecommunications devices. This technology developed into the first cellular network device for civilians by Motorola with the DynaTAC. So the problem of expedition in communications on the battlefield from Morse code to voice over was not an imaginary problem. Let's do better in critical thinking skills.
Women lecturers should be forced to dress professionally. It's meant to be a catalyst for the greatest young minds, but this will obviously be hindered when they are inevitably distracted.
What really amazes me is that some people (her parents and teachers) must have (I hope) recognized her talent at a young age, nurtured it, encouraged her to be where she is today. When you think about it a little more, you will realize that many, many brilliant people are either born in poverty or die before they can achieve anything significant. But not her. She is unmistakably one of the most brilliant minds in math in the country right now (do check her wikipedia page). This makes me feel an infinite amount of awe and joy, even as I watch (and understand nothing) in this video. The human mind is an amazing thing, but without the right environment, it can't achieve anything of significance.
Right. That were my thoughts too. When I started to learn math at university and had problems with not having money for living expenses mid throw, and I couldn’t find any solution while trying to approach people. They were telling me that not everyone learns math, and go to such university; “relatives” told me to go to work on factory. Not even proposing something specific, but as a metaphor wish for the baddest work. Though I worked lots hard of works in life. Everyone made sure to put me down. Though there are loans for students and there must be some solutions. They didn’t give me it. And no one just was able to talk constructively with good willing, lacking jealousy or bad attitude. And I was very young to be able to deal with such amount of hostility. And even today I couldn’t be able to.
in a way, the fact that this video is public and accesible to everyone was only a dream 30 years ago...still other many human factors need to align (i.e. the Anna Karenina effect they called) but the access to such sources like this can contribute to democratize the knowledge for the ones who are eager to learn more and improve ...
Not to be a jerk, but this theory isn't as brilliant as one might think. Just another language which has been established for decades. Kudos to all who seek knowledge!
The majority of women are in poverty and many are forced to dress and behave certain ways. Unfortunately, being brilliant in math doesn't solve the issue of the majority of women being in poverty and practically enslaved.

i took discrete math with Dr. Piccirillo last year and took an interest in abstract math shortly afterward. one of the best educators and individuals i've been able to meet
That's really cool. I love that these lectures are available online for anyone to access who has a desire to investigate these subjects. Surely nothing beats actually taking the class, but to someone who is interested and might not otherwise have access, this is wonderful.
It's so refreshing to watch a genuine expert discuss her area of specialty and showcase a deep intuition about the subject, with very few notes or supports.
Well if you've not come across them before you're not like;ly to know what they mean. If you picked up a novel and started reading it half way through then you wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know who a lot of the characters were. If it helps, I'm a mathematician who knows enough of the field of Algebraic Topology to pick up a broad idea of what she's on about - but if a mechanic started talking about the manifold in my car then I'd be confused and go glassy eyed very quickly. We're all good at different things - and that's good.
@@steviebudden3397 I think it's funny that people think they are never going to be capable of something because they have never done it before. That's the point of learning, you don't know something, you do some work to understand it, and then you have learned it.
Are there practical applications to what she’s discussing? Not to say that there “should” be, but I’m curious if there are, and what some of them might be?
EDIT: Apparently not all of this is 100% right. See comment of @jestingrabbit This talk is about something called "four-dimensional manifolds," which is just a fancy way of looking at shapes that have four dimensions. You’re used to three dimensions (like up-down, left-right, forward-backward), but here we’re adding one more. It's a bit hard to imagine because we can't see four dimensions, but mathematicians can describe and study them with formulas. What’s a Manifold? A "manifold" is basically a shape or surface that can be very simple or super complicated. Think of a line, a circle, or even the surface of a ball-these are all examples of simple manifolds in 1D, 2D, or 3D. Now, imagine that in four dimensions! Classifying Manifolds The speaker talks about how in lower dimensions (like 1, 2, and 3), mathematicians have figured out how to "classify" or organize these shapes into types, kind of like sorting objects into bins based on their characteristics. But when it comes to four-dimensional manifolds, things get trickier. This is because we know much less about them-they’re sort of like mysterious shapes! Smooth vs. Rough Manifolds Another important idea is "smooth" manifolds versus "topological" manifolds. Imagine a smooth manifold as a super-smooth surface, like glass, and a topological one as something rougher, like sandpaper. They’re both kinds of shapes but are different in texture (smoothness). The speaker explains that in four dimensions, these differences get very interesting. Exotic Manifolds Here’s where it gets fun: some four-dimensional manifolds are called "exotic." This means they look the same as other manifolds if you see them from far away but are actually different in their smoothness if you get close. It’s like two identical drawings of a line that feel different when you touch them-one might feel smooth, and the other rough. Gauge Theory and Invariants The last bit is about how mathematicians study these manifolds. They use something called "gauge theory," which is like a set of super-powered tools for telling different manifolds apart. It's complicated, but it involves using equations to find tiny differences between manifolds. If you know how to work with these tools, you can sometimes discover that two shapes are actually exotic versions of each other. So, to sum up, this talk is about exploring strange four-dimensional shapes and finding out if they are exotic by using mathematical tools that can measure differences that aren't always obvious.
This talk is about glutes and deltoids and triceps and pectorals, which are technically covered with clothing, but this lecture would do equally well at Harward and P*rnhub.
@@mbauducco Alright, let’s make it super simple! Imagine you have a ball of yarn, and you make a knot in it. Now, some knots are easy to untangle, but some knots are really tricky. For a long, long time, people tried to figure out if one special knot-the "Conway knot"-could be untangled in a special way. Then, a very smart lady named Lisa came along. She saw this tricky knot and decided to try solving it, just like how you might try a new puzzle. And guess what? She figured out that this knot couldn’t be untangled in that special way! She solved a puzzle that had been too hard for anyone else, and everyone was super impressed. So now, thanks to Lisa, we understand this knot much better! Isn’t that cool?
@@DelFlo A manifold is pretty easy, it's a space that locally looks like Euclidean space. A classic example is a sphere which locally looks like a two dimensional plane. You can see this because the Earth is spherical but near us on a small scale it's flat. So you can think of it as a deformation of some flat thing like a line, plane, or 3d space. Smoothness here means the opposite of jagged. It's related to the existence of derivatives if you have some calculus. At pinched points these won't exist so you get some jagged. What's wild about this is that you don't typically think of something jagged being flat. So these topological spaces that are not smooth but are still locally flat defies intuition.
@@abebuckingham8198 So would a wormhole be an example of a non-smooth manifold? Because it essentially teleports you across the manifold of space-time while locally it still feels like you’re moving through regular 3D space. Thanks for your answer by the way.
Wicked ! I was so entertained by your explanation. Even as a graduate engineer (having studied a 💩-load of math, calculus, matrices and vectors…) I have no idea whether you are texting truth or just replying in a manner that your peers will find entertaining !! Brilliant. I thank you !!! 🫡
@WattSounds lol, the concepts at large make sense, the specifics and technical methods are far beyond me. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate the gravity of their study.
I thought I learned mathematics. This is the most incomprehensible lecture I have ever listened to. If it was in Chinese I would understand more. I am just glad no one has any questions.
It´s very abstract mathematics. Do not feel bad about it. I am sure, you are pretty good at low abstract math, and honestly, this is going to solve 99% of problems in your life, in the lives of your family, in your stock portfolio, in your job, and in your education by far.
She knows she has beautiful back and shoulders, and she loves showing them. Compensates her lack of boobs and proves she is an attractive woman (she is clever either, but we now this already).
I think this lecture might go down in history as the only one where topology was illustrated both conceptually and physically, showcasing symmetry, strength, and transformations in reality. Bringing theory to life!
Lisa Piccirillo is so clear in communicating the ideas, I actually followed (sort of) the construction around 1:08:05 (I'm not a topologist). Really excellent lecture
Thank you Harvard Mathematics Department for putting the CDM lectures on RUclips. The conference has a long history of very good lectures on recent top research. Piccirillo's talk on 4-manifolds certainly upholds that tradition. I'm not a topologist, but the talk gives me an inkling of what she, her collaborators, and her predecessors have accomplished, and where it fits into our understanding of low-dimensional manifolds.
When she said “The one you’re thinking of… a nice topological space…” made me laugh out loud as the manifold I was thinking of is attached to the exhaust system of my car.
As a math guy I had no idea cars had manifolds. Apparently they have holes in them so they're not simply connected. This means they're more complicated than the objects discussed in this lecture.
In engineering a manifold is a type of structure that is able to deliver fluids at equivalent characteristics (pressure, temperature, density, etc). Your car manifold delivers equal amounts of air and/or fuel to each cylinder. The exhaust manifold allows release of exhaust at equivalent pressures. It’s just a way of saying “balanced fluid system”. No idea how this word ended up describing surfaces of geometry?
I loved this presentation despite the fact I didn’t understand the first sentence let alone the rest. Sigh! But you know in my day women like my wife were told women couldn’t really do Math so I absolutely love to see a young woman put that BS to rest.
I am really high, but i am enjoying this class. It is clear that the professor is a person who has achieved excellence in her field of study and that is something really interesting. We are used to seeing the body at its maximum potential but not the minds, this is also something admirable to see.
@@regwatson2017lol. you sure do not look like that just because you are skinny. trust me, i know. as others have mentioned, she probably does rock climbing with a back like that. this is pure trained and used muscle
I absolutely loved Lisa's approach on this. She truly expands classical thinking on this subject in such a way to truly give us a new way of looking and thinking on three traditional manifold topology in the fourth dimension. Dont know why I didn't see it before. Thank you Lisa!
I have the utmost respect for science and scientists. I don't feel that respect obligates me to watch a lecture which I haven't the slightest chance of understanding. Do your thing, Dr. Piccirillo!
Outstanding lecture, Lisa! This was a GREAT talk! I am compelled by your enthusiasm and skill to add: Having spent a decade listening to my professors, this was both and expert delivery and very well informed - On all fronts 😊 Gracias!
@@Herlock-vc6ch are you sugesting this is a bad lecture and someone only could comment on it because of the women who lectures? Or do you not understand a word she says so the only thing you can focus on is that she is an attractive women.
"Howard", this is "Sheldon", why are you even leaving a comment to this video, never mind clicking this video on? Also, can you or Bernadette drive me to the comic book store tomorrow, because Leonard and Raj are mad at me again and Amy and Penny are going to a spa together.🤣🤣
Thank you for the insightful lecture! The discussion on the Alpha invariant and its construction through cobordism was particularly enlightening. I would love to hear more about the practical applications of these concepts in current research. Looking forward to your next talk!
When I was a grad student a classmate of mine used to go to various free meetups around the city for the free food. I almost thought about doing that but there's only so much pizza I can eat.
YT is so broken. I started with watching music videos, it went downhill towards less family friendly ones, through body painting where you can see e v e r y t h i n g, then I saw how elephant downs a tree 5 times the size of it.. and now I am here. All in less than one hour
In 2020, Piccirillo published a mathematical proof in the journal Annals of Mathematics determining that the Conway knot is not a smoothly slice knot, answering an unsolved problem in knot theory first proposed over fifty years prior by English mathematician John Horton Conway.
It's a way to model the fabric of the universe with both spatial and temporal components. Work in this field may lead to a better understanding of worm holes, space/time travel, and quantum physics.
Pro tip for those of us who have no idea what she’s talking about (even if you have a degree in engineering or similar): Ask chatGPT what a 4 dimensional smooth manifold is. I have no idea if chatGPT is correct, but part of the answer was “In physics and mathematics, smooth 4-dimensional manifolds appear in general relativity, where spacetime is modeled as a 4-dimensional smooth manifold, with three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. “
honored to be in the group of folks with a PhD in STEM who have studied topology before and got recommended this video but still could only focus on her back muscles and amazing fashion sense.
She solved the Conway knot problem, which of course is the problem of how knot to laugh when Tim Conway does his Siamese elephant routine on the Carol Burnett Show.
I clicked on the thumbnail because I thought I should spend a little time discovering something interesting today. I’m now two minutes in and realize I need about eight years of courses before I can gain even a rudimentary knowledge of the basic terminology that’s being used.
For those unclear on the significance: In physics, spacetime, also called the space-time continuum, is a mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams are useful in visualizing and understanding relativistic effects, such as how different observers perceive where and when events occur.
First, I find the comments here hilarious. Even if I feel exactly like many commenters I was thinking something here could explain why humanity struggles so with what we call UFO, or maybe it's called UEDs. Thousands of people have reported over decades, but we have not even produced a suggestion of theory. Or maybe she is doing it right there? Especially the famous Zimbabwe event w 60 school children. Some saw both ship and alien. Some saw nothing. Alien was at a distance, then suddenly near. Events as these perplex us so much because they challenge our basic understanding of reality. So we have chosen to ridicule the witnesses. Maybe AI wants us to understand and throws this mathgenius goddess.😁
Makes sense. I was writing today about the shape of infinity which can't be seen but only imagined as rings of rings which can expand or contract but using five dimensions of a pyramid you can find the internexus in the center; it's a spiral really; similar to how we're traveling trough the universe. The architecture is a design for a website lol It's called the Cybersphere with a new pyramid shaped navigator called the neXutool.
@@ddevamEverything spirals here, and what do spirals do? Make bloom outs. Pressure is a spiral in to bloom out floral growth pattern. Find center to bloom out.
@@liberatedcollective2124 See @1:03 where Lisa is adding handles to the curved spaces? Simple logic says you can not see a circle without drawing a line around it; and if you look at a line from the top; like a straw, it also is a circle. So It means that the "white hot spot" defined by Hawkins is where the line and sphere meet; it's point where reality is created or can fall outside to the forth dimension; via "quantum black hole". Now; take an obtuse pyramid; intersect the five corners with three rings of different sizes (they don't touch); the corners represent Lisa's "handles" where they connect to the rings; then spin the pyramid and see what shape it creates; spiral-graph insanity to infinity right? Would it now cause the rings to collide then expand and contract at the same time?
@@ddevam Except it's not insanity, it's the harmony here, we see chaos because we can't read the language. Pressure is a language like ours, nature ONLY DOES SHAPES. POINT BLANK PERIOD. Not math, but you are on the right track. Just remember, zig zag is spiral. 6 is spiral, S is spiral. And spirals go to bloom outs, the five petal bloom is the end of pressure here. ⭐ Its a growth pattern, small to big, key shape in totality 🔑 (where your pyramid shape comes into existence, just remember 3d space, we think and observe embarrassingly in 2d. 🙏
I second that. ❤😊 Wow, I watched the whole thing! I admit that I had an ulterior motive-I’m trying to work out possible topological relationships of frame dragging geometry in supermassive Kerr black holes, and I was looking for inspiration. 🤷♀️😂
Everyone is the same it's just that some people go to school more than others and without all of that work and studying they are just like everyone else 🎉
For all the non-mathematicians, this is a great video to share next time someone downplays the significance of "so-called experts" and acts like they themselves are an expert on something just because they've watched a couple of RUclips videos on a given topic. Bro, no. Actual experts exist and they devote their lives to understanding things on a level that you and I don't and likely never will. I'm a reasonably intelligent person and I'll happily admit this talk is way over my head. Whether it's math or climate science or infectious diseases, experts exist and we do ourselves a disservice when we pretend to know better than them in their chosen field.
@ in recent years I do, since I do a lot of work in insurance mathematics. Differential equations, statistics, probability, linear algebra are all useful there. But the greatest use I have for my degree is that it allows me to continue “studying” maths and physics for enjoyment’s sake, mainly on RUclips :-)

She walks through the history and builds her story piece by piece keeping everything solid as she goes. This is a fascinating trip to a different world and I have no idea how it got recommended to me but I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for making this public and thanks again to the lecturer for giving us a glimpse of this world.

Dumb down Summary:
1. In the flat, 2D world of a piece of paper, we can easily understand different shapes, like circles and squares. But in the 3D world we live in, shapes get much more complicated.
2. Mathematicians are really interested in understanding 4-dimensional shapes, which are even harder to picture. They want to know if there are different types of 4D shapes that look the same on the outside, but are actually different on the inside.
3. Mathematicians have come up with a few different ways to study 4D shapes. They can try to build different 4D shapes and then figure out how to tell them apart. They also use special math tricks called "invariants" to help identify differences between shapes.
4. Over the years, mathematicians have gone through a few different periods of studying 4D shapes. In each period, they've gotten better at both making new 4D shapes and finding new ways to tell them apart.
5. Recently, mathematicians have started using some new, clever tricks to study 4D shapes. They're finding new ways to construct 4D shapes, and they're also finding new "invariants" that can help them figure out if two 4D shapes are really the same or different.
6. One of these new tricks is called the "slic approach." It involves finding a special loop or knot in one 4D shape that doesn't exist in another 4D shape. This can show that the two shapes are different, even if they look the same on the outside.
7. Mathematicians are also using computers to help them find new 4D shapes that might be different. They're making lots of different 4D shapes and then using machine learning to try to figure out if any of them are really different on the inside.
8. One really cool idea is that the differences between 4D shapes can be hidden in a tiny, simple part of the shape. Mathematicians call this part a "cork," and they've shown that this cork is the key to understanding how 4D shapes can be different.
9. Using this idea of the "cork," mathematicians have been able to make some of the simplest possible examples of 4D shapes that are actually different on the inside, even though they look the same on the outside.
10. By understanding these simple, "corky" 4D shapes, mathematicians are hoping to get a better idea of where all the different types of 4D shapes come from, and how they're related to each other. It's like solving a big puzzle, one piece at a time!

In 2018, as a graduate student, she demonstrated that the Conway knot is not "slice," resolving a question that had puzzled mathematicians for over 50 years. Congratulations

She knew what she was doing with that shirt
What really amazes me is that some people (her parents and teachers) must have (I hope) recognized her talent at a young age, nurtured it, encouraged her to be where she is today. When you think about it a little more, you will realize that many, many brilliant people are either born in poverty or die before they can achieve anything significant. But not her. She is unmistakably one of the most brilliant minds in math in the country right now (do check her wikipedia page).
This makes me feel an infinite amount of awe and joy, even as I watch (and understand nothing) in this video. The human mind is an amazing thing, but without the right environment, it can't achieve anything of significance.
Right. That were my thoughts too.
When I started to learn math at university and had problems with not having money for living expenses mid throw, and I couldn’t find any solution while trying to approach people. They were telling me that not everyone learns math, and go to such university; “relatives” told me to go to work on factory. Not even proposing something specific, but as a metaphor wish for the baddest work. Though I worked lots hard of works in life. Everyone made sure to put me down.
Though there are loans for students and there must be some solutions. They didn’t give me it. And no one just was able to talk constructively with good willing, lacking jealousy or bad attitude. And I was very young to be able to deal with such amount of hostility. And even today I couldn’t be able to.
Plotline to White Tiger
in a way, the fact that this video is public and accesible to everyone was only a dream 30 years ago...still other many human factors need to align (i.e. the Anna Karenina effect they called) but the access to such sources like this can contribute to democratize the knowledge for the ones who are eager to learn more and improve ...
Not to be a jerk, but this theory isn't as brilliant as one might think. Just another language which has been established for decades. Kudos to all who seek knowledge!
The majority of women are in poverty and many are forced to dress and behave certain ways. Unfortunately, being brilliant in math doesn't solve the issue of the majority of women being in poverty and practically enslaved.

That's really cool. I love that these lectures are available online for anyone to access who has a desire to investigate these subjects. Surely nothing beats actually taking the class, but to someone who is interested and might not otherwise have access, this is wonderful.
Did you take her class at UT Austin? I live in Austin.
I had a romance with her. She is a great lover.

She was able to prove that the Conway knot is not a smoothly slice knot, a problem that had stumped mathematicians for half a century!
It's so refreshing to watch a genuine expert discuss her area of specialty and showcase a deep intuition about the subject, with very few notes or supports.
It's fascinating
I am not a genius. This lecture has really driven home that point.
Well if you've not come across them before you're not like;ly to know what they mean. If you picked up a novel and started reading it half way through then you wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know who a lot of the characters were.
If it helps, I'm a mathematician who knows enough of the field of Algebraic Topology to pick up a broad idea of what she's on about - but if a mechanic started talking about the manifold in my car then I'd be confused and go glassy eyed very quickly. We're all good at different things - and that's good.

EDIT: Apparently not all of this is 100% right. See comment of @jestingrabbit
This talk is about something called "four-dimensional manifolds," which is just a fancy way of looking at shapes that have four dimensions. You’re used to three dimensions (like up-down, left-right, forward-backward), but here we’re adding one more. It's a bit hard to imagine because we can't see four dimensions, but mathematicians can describe and study them with formulas.
What’s a Manifold?
A "manifold" is basically a shape or surface that can be very simple or super complicated. Think of a line, a circle, or even the surface of a ball-these are all examples of simple manifolds in 1D, 2D, or 3D. Now, imagine that in four dimensions!
Classifying Manifolds
The speaker talks about how in lower dimensions (like 1, 2, and 3), mathematicians have figured out how to "classify" or organize these shapes into types, kind of like sorting objects into bins based on their characteristics. But when it comes to four-dimensional manifolds, things get trickier. This is because we know much less about them-they’re sort of like mysterious shapes!
Smooth vs. Rough Manifolds
Another important idea is "smooth" manifolds versus "topological" manifolds. Imagine a smooth manifold as a super-smooth surface, like glass, and a topological one as something rougher, like sandpaper. They’re both kinds of shapes but are different in texture (smoothness). The speaker explains that in four dimensions, these differences get very interesting.
Exotic Manifolds
Here’s where it gets fun: some four-dimensional manifolds are called "exotic." This means they look the same as other manifolds if you see them from far away but are actually different in their smoothness if you get close. It’s like two identical drawings of a line that feel different when you touch them-one might feel smooth, and the other rough.
Gauge Theory and Invariants
The last bit is about how mathematicians study these manifolds. They use something called "gauge theory," which is like a set of super-powered tools for telling different manifolds apart. It's complicated, but it involves using equations to find tiny differences between manifolds. If you know how to work with these tools, you can sometimes discover that two shapes are actually exotic versions of each other.
So, to sum up, this talk is about exploring strange four-dimensional shapes and finding out if they are exotic by using mathematical tools that can measure differences that aren't always obvious.

This talk is about glutes and deltoids and triceps and pectorals, which are technically covered with clothing, but this lecture would do equally well at Harward and P*rnhub.
@@mbauducco Alright, let’s make it super simple!
Imagine you have a ball of yarn, and you make a knot in it. Now, some knots are easy to untangle, but some knots are really tricky. For a long, long time, people tried to figure out if one special knot-the "Conway knot"-could be untangled in a special way.
Then, a very smart lady named Lisa came along. She saw this tricky knot and decided to try solving it, just like how you might try a new puzzle. And guess what? She figured out that this knot couldn’t be untangled in that special way! She solved a puzzle that had been too hard for anyone else, and everyone was super impressed.
So now, thanks to Lisa, we understand this knot much better! Isn’t that cool?
I did not learn anything from what see said but I got an excellent anatomy lesson on shoulder and back muscles from what she wrote.
I have a feeling that this is probably completely amazing for those who understand
It is. Just the fact that there are topological manifolds that are not smooth manifolds is pretty wild and she starts with that.
@@abebuckingham8198 What does that mean and why is it wild?
@@DelFlo A manifold is pretty easy, it's a space that locally looks like Euclidean space. A classic example is a sphere which locally looks like a two dimensional plane. You can see this because the Earth is spherical but near us on a small scale it's flat. So you can think of it as a deformation of some flat thing like a line, plane, or 3d space.
Smoothness here means the opposite of jagged. It's related to the existence of derivatives if you have some calculus. At pinched points these won't exist so you get some jagged.
What's wild about this is that you don't typically think of something jagged being flat. So these topological spaces that are not smooth but are still locally flat defies intuition.
@@abebuckingham8198 So would a wormhole be an example of a non-smooth manifold? Because it essentially teleports you across the manifold of space-time while locally it still feels like you’re moving through regular 3D space. Thanks for your answer by the way.
@@abebuckingham8198 😉

LOL same. The one currently plaguing me has a slow leak grrr
Same ….. 😂
In engineering a manifold is a type of structure that is able to deliver fluids at equivalent characteristics (pressure, temperature, density, etc). Your car manifold delivers equal amounts of air and/or fuel to each cylinder. The exhaust manifold allows release of exhaust at equivalent pressures. It’s just a way of saying “balanced fluid system”. No idea how this word ended up describing surfaces of geometry?

For those unclear on the significance: In physics, spacetime, also called the space-time continuum, is a mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams are useful in visualizing and understanding relativistic effects, such as how different observers perceive where and when events occur.
First, I find the comments here hilarious. Even if I feel exactly like many commenters I was thinking something here could explain why humanity struggles so with what we call UFO, or maybe it's called UEDs. Thousands of people have reported over decades, but we have not even produced a suggestion of theory. Or maybe she is doing it right there? Especially the famous Zimbabwe event w 60 school children. Some saw both ship and alien. Some saw nothing. Alien was at a distance, then suddenly near. Events as these perplex us so much because they challenge our basic understanding of reality. So we have chosen to ridicule the witnesses. Maybe AI wants us to understand and throws this mathgenius goddess.😁

@@ddevamEverything spirals here, and what do spirals do? Make bloom outs. Pressure is a spiral in to bloom out floral growth pattern. Find center to bloom out.
@@liberatedcollective2124 See @1:03 where Lisa is adding handles to the curved spaces? Simple logic says you can not see a circle without drawing a line around it; and if you look at a line from the top; like a straw, it also is a circle. So It means that the "white hot spot" defined by Hawkins is where the line and sphere meet; it's point where reality is created or can fall outside to the forth dimension; via "quantum black hole".
Now; take an obtuse pyramid; intersect the five corners with three rings of different sizes (they don't touch); the corners represent Lisa's "handles" where they connect to the rings; then spin the pyramid and see what shape it creates; spiral-graph insanity to infinity right? Would it now cause the rings to collide then expand and contract at the same time?
@@ddevam Except it's not insanity, it's the harmony here, we see chaos because we can't read the language. Pressure is a language like ours, nature ONLY DOES SHAPES. POINT BLANK PERIOD. Not math, but you are on the right track. Just remember, zig zag is spiral. 6 is spiral, S is spiral. And spirals go to bloom outs, the five petal bloom is the end of pressure here. ⭐ Its a growth pattern, small to big, key shape in totality 🔑 (where your pyramid shape comes into existence, just remember 3d space, we think and observe embarrassingly in 2d. 🙏

I second that. ❤😊 Wow, I watched the whole thing! I admit that I had an ulterior motive-I’m trying to work out possible topological relationships of frame dragging geometry in supermassive Kerr black holes, and I was looking for inspiration. 🤷♀️😂
@@deleted01 LMAO
Everyone is the same it's just that some people go to school more than others and without all of that work and studying they are just like everyone else 🎉

Nope...
Genetics and how wealthy your family is.
For all the non-mathematicians, this is a great video to share next time someone downplays the significance of "so-called experts" and acts like they themselves are an expert on something just because they've watched a couple of RUclips videos on a given topic.
Bro, no. Actual experts exist and they devote their lives to understanding things on a level that you and I don't and likely never will. I'm a reasonably intelligent person and I'll happily admit this talk is way over my head.
Whether it's math or climate science or infectious diseases, experts exist and we do ourselves a disservice when we pretend to know better than them in their chosen field.
I needed simply a pause from all that cute-kittys-videos I've been binging. ;)
My master’s thesis in 1997 was on SW invariants. Very interesting to get a survey of the progress of the field, including the author’s recent work.
Do you use you degree much?
@ in recent years I do, since I do a lot of work in insurance mathematics. Differential equations, statistics, probability, linear algebra are all useful there. But the greatest use I have for my degree is that it allows me to continue “studying” maths and physics for enjoyment’s sake, mainly on RUclips :-)
Loved every single bit of it. Great lecture!
Iam an interdimensional alien and i approve this lecture 👍👽
Oh wow, you too? 😊❤🛸👍🏻
Of course you do.
❤we are here❤
@@careerdog Is the answer correct ?? please verify for us ....

Lisa the mathematician worked on her physique, and unintentionally found the solution to the youtube algorithm at the gym.
Only a tiny fraction of humans would understand these topics. Not the case for "attractive intelligent strong woman" - We have instincts to detect that, hyperactive ones. 😅It's no slight against Ivan.
Thank you for the recommendation! Ivan Losev got at least one more view.
I seriously doubt she's ever done anything unintentionally. But
🤔 Not sure I got the gist of what you're expressing other than the “explanation” for what brings males in to this video, lays either on her physique, or it lays on our “instincts”, responsibility shifted elsewhere; problem solved. All I was comparing between the 2 videos is wrapping vs. content. As in how a carefully chosen book cover determines whether it flies or stays on the shelves.🙂@@mortenrl1946

But I'm not sure I got the gist of what you expressed, other than the ,“explaining” for the high male turnout either lies on her physique or our, “instincts” responsibility shifted elsewhere, problem solved. They even compare her to Lisa Randall on her ‘IQ hotness’ popular sport apparently.
I meant to simply compare one video to the other in viewer-interest/time-posted. Wrapping vs. content. Other institutions channels also carry her lecture disable comments, probably because unrelated comments were starting to creep up. @@mortenrl1946
Exotic phenomena in dimension 4 just sounds sick as fuck, not comparable
I can watch this all day, no I do not know whats going on but it's beautiful
I only took one course of Calculus decades ago and it's a testament to the skill of Lisa Piccirillo that I was able to follow and understand the entire lecture (except a bit about 5 minutes from the end), only needing to stop and google a few words along the way. She walks through the history and builds her story piece by piece keeping everything solid as she goes. This is a fascinating trip to a different world and I have no idea how it got recommended to me but I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for making this public and thanks again to the lecturer for giving us a glimpse of this world.
