Class: Solid, liquid, and gas Homework: Plasma Test: Fabricate anti-matter then harness the energy and relay it to energy required to the construction of several dyson spheres spanning the M31 group[5 marks] Me: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
@@saaramb3452 you can prepare anti matter using particle accelerator.. but you need at least a gram of that antimatter to harness the energy for building the Dyson sphere around a star...let us a assuming that you want to build one of those several Dyson spheres around our very own sun... Then you need start recruiting at least half of our current world population as the labor force required for this project. Assuming that you are a very good public relations company and have recruited half of the world population for this horundus task, still you need atleast a gram of anti matter to use it as start off to provide you energy for this start up job, but our current particle accelerators at CERN can produce about 100,000 anti protons per day and each of these last an average of 10 seconds.. So a gram means ahh... Let's assume it to be hydrogen's anti protons for calculation purposes 1 mole of anti-Hydrogen is 2 grams that (because hydrogen exists as H2) which means 1 moles of anti-Hydrogen contains (6.023*10^23) anti hydrogens so 1 gram is (3.0115 *10^23) which requires you to prepare a particle accelerator that is as efficient as that it need to create 3.0115 *10^23 anti-protons( I m using the word proton instead of hydrogen because it doesn't matter hydrogen can be called a proton as it has has only one proton and we count the proton and neutron for mass number) so the particle accelerator should work at an efficient 3.0115 *10^17 times the one currently being available. So in plain word's if we have the materials we would have done that long ago, unfortunately we don't have the materials we require. A gram of anti matter costs around 62 trillion dollars which means you need to sell your country for that!
This is really good. Too many people tend to think the math is just memorizing a bunch of formulas, when in reality, they are like logic puzzles, almost like sudokus. So for all the people who say that math isn't your thing, maybe memorizing isn't your thing. This is way beyond my league, and yet you explained it so that I don't need any prior knowledge and equations.

I really love how you break it down ...it makes so much sense and you are super understandable! Thanks for what you're doing to teach these concepts. And breaking it down beyond the answer to this question to what you can apply to all other situations is GOLD! 🥰
In class: 2+3=5 Homework: 2x3=6 Test: 4 points are randomly chosen on a sphere, what is the probability that the tetrahedron formed by connecting the points also contains the center of the sphere?
Alright, real answer here *Tetrahedron is like pyramid but all the edges are parallel.* Think of it like cube and cuboid. All 12 edges of cube is the same length , meanwhile there's 2 different pair of different edges of cuboid with different length. In this case, *tetrahedron is a prism with 4 triangular faces, 6 straight edges, and 4 vertices (aka corners).* Hope this helps you
In 1D it would be 2 points "randomly" selected out of 2 points on a line, probability of 1/2 that it is the different point and the connecting line goes through the center. For 4D and above I think it's quite helpful to move away from the visual intuition and describe it formally, but it is still the visual intuition that was the key to the solution.
Yes good point and the 1D case would be very easy too, the probability that two random points on a line when connected contain the centre. Doesn’t matter which side of the centre the first point is on, the 2nd point just needs to be on the other, which is of course a 1/2 chance as you said!
It is quite interesting how it can be simplified by just visual representation, doing it by formulas on the other hand is probably pretty confusing though.
I have just realised that math is fragmented. It doesn't matter how much of it a person may get wrong, what's important is that one experiences each of the questions within their own categories, gaining wider experience of each category respectively, and then having all the tools combined to connect all the pieces of the puzzle. That's what I just realised anyway thanks to this video👍🏼
Heres a problem for you Taran, say if you have 104 keys on a keyboard, how many macros could you bind if you could press 10 buttons at once to make a shortcut.
Answer: Nice try. Even if you could remember them all, it's impossible to accurately press down 10 arbitrary keys simultaneously. Even two keys simultaneously is a bad idea, unless one of them is a modifier key. If it's macros you're after, a secondary keyboard is the way to go. In that case, more than one modifier key at a time is usually inefficient. Also, WIN and ALT are dangerous under most circumstances. Therefore, only CTRL and SHIFT remain. Therefore, the most macros you can safely get out of a 104-key keyboard is: 104 - 8 modifier keys x 3 (CTRL, SHIFT, and unmodified) = 288 macros. 384 If you include the double-tapping of a single key. (Tapdancing) Of course, it's easier just to add another keyboard rather than use modifiers in this way, which is, of course, why I have 3 keyboards and counting. Yeah, totally took the bait on that one.
Try binding U +2 +3 +5 together, tnt should work as a trigger if packed densely enough (and if you use egg shaped warheads). Heard Cesium is pretty common in the trigger aswell.
I love this way of visualization 3Blue1Brown as well as other Math related RUclipsrs use. It really helps to understand these kinds of problems on a deeper level. For example, I doubt I would‘ve gained the same key insights from just reading through the listed write-up in comparison to your great video. I wish this method would be used in actual classrooms, however, with the dawning age of smart boards and such we might get tho this at some point ^^.
Man the solution was amazing ... Although speaking as an undergrad math student I swear I wouldn't have understood it at all without the fantastic 3D visuals
When I was in college we had a “project” that was due in a week. We were tasked to write a simple program that enabled the user to enter three, 3-coordinate points in space and have the output give you the area of the triangle. I solved it in one day and my answer was given on a single side of a single sheet of paper. The following week, all my classmates turned in these huge packets with dozens of pages in them. The following Monday the professor gave back all the graded papers except for mine. He held up my single sheet answer and told the whole class that their work was shit and that this is how your answer should look. I felt like a million bucks.
@@sunnyk7893 given that the area or a triangle is (base * height)/2, all he did was probs calculate the vectors using the coordinates of the points given, to deduce the base and height of the triangle, and then output it, it's really nothing complicated to code on top of that, this is more logic than actaul coding
@xxNewEraxx it requires 3 dimensional calculus, so unless you’ve taken advanced calculus of the type you only see in Engjneering or Mathematics majors in college, it isn’t that simple. I’m fact, everyone else in the course started their project with the same failed premise as you and that’s why it took them piles of useless paper and theory to attempt to solve it. With 3D Calculus it has a simple and elegant solution.
I did the problem with a square and it made it way simpler to do it with the circle! It’s really interesting because framing the question in a certain way makes it so that the shape of the object is almost arbitrary! I inscribed the circle in a square. I then divided it into 4 parts by the diagonals. Take an edge. That edge is 2 of the 3 points of your triangle. Now move the last point and note the area under which the middle is covered. That area should be only one of the 4 parts of the square that you cut using the diagonals. Using the same diagonals, you get 4 of these situations because there are 4 edges and each of them gives you 1/4. If you take a fresh square now and make 2 cuts that serve the same purpose as the diagonals in the other case, you’ll find that you have another set of 4 configurations that give you an average area of 1/4 because each set of 2 is mirrored. Since the circle is inscribed and we used areas we can use the same cuts for the circle and it still holds. If you do the same thing with a cube and make 4 cuts. You can do the same thing but you get 1/8. This shit is so cool
I am taking a Putnam exam prep seminar and this problem was on our homework for this week. I solved it a few days ago. My solution wasn't quite as elegant as the one in this video; I used a triple integral to find the average area of a spherical triangle, making use of a symmetry in the "area of a spherical triangle" function to avoid having to actually find a formula for it. In hindsight, I could have made use of even more symmetries (specifically, the fact that there are always seven other triangles that add up to the whole sphere), which is more or less what you did. My solution: When we choose three random points on a sphere, we get three random variables that we can use to calculate the triangle's area: θ₁ = angle along arc from point A to point B θ₂ = angle along arc from point A to point C ϕ = angle at point A between the two arcs All three variables are in the range [0, π]. They are independent with probability densities sin(θ₁)/2, sin(θ₂)/2, and 1/π. Let Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) denote the area of a spherical triangle, where the area of the whole sphere is taken to be 1. Note that Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) + Area(π - θ₁, π - θ₂, ϕ) = ϕ/2π, since together these two triangles fill up the region between two meridians ϕ radians apart. The average area of a spherical triangle is ∫ ∫ ∫ (sin(θ₁)/2) (sin(θ₂)/2) (1/π) Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ = (1/4π) ∫ ∫ ∫ sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ = (1/8π) ∫ ∫ ∫ (sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) + sin(π - θ₁) sin(π - θ₂) Area(π - θ₁, π - θ₂, ϕ)) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ = (1/8π) ∫ ∫ ∫ sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) (Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) + Area(π - θ₁, π - θ₂, ϕ)) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ = (1/16π²) ∫ ∫ ∫ sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) ϕ dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ = (1/16π²) ∫ sin(θ₁) dθ₁ ∫ sin(θ₂) dθ₂ ∫ ϕ dϕ = (1/16π²) * 2 * 2 * (π²/2) = 1/8. (All of the integrals are from 0 to π.)
What I learned from this video: 1.) simplify the questions you’re being asked 2.) ask simpler versions of the question 3.) If you don’t get it right, it doesn’t mean you’re not smart. It just shows you what you still don’t know yet. 4.) it doesn’t take away from your Value as a human
Around 7 minutes in I just had to pause the video and start laughing out loud because I realised what you were about to do. Brilliant. It's just so elegant!!!
Dude same, I was like "fuck no mate that's too much for me, this shit's SMART" YOOOOO these are the worst problems, the ones that are a massive Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh AFTER you've had it explained. so clever, the people who make up these problems are some smart motherfuckers lmao
Try 2005 A6 (paper at the start of the video) > Let n be given, n 4, and suppose that P1;P2; : : : ;Pn are n randomly, independently and uniformly, chosen points on a circle. Consider the convex n-gon whose vertices are the Pi. What is the probability that at least one of the vertex angles of this polygon is acute? There's a smart way to tackle this problem, similar in idea to this video.
When 3B1B suggested to break the problem down to just the lines and not the dots, at 6 mins, the thing about the 4 arcs, and thus the 8 parts of the circle just clicked and I had it, such a good feeling.
Every now and then I come back here and always end up amazed. Love this video, I'm in med school, but I participated in math olympics through out all my highschool, love maths
It feels so cool having the problem just "click" in my head as you explain it. Like you were talking about the importance of the 1/4th chance and then I just got so excited cause I finally got it
Watching it again 4 years later and I can see the Alice-Bob problem solving applied here too. Subtle shift of perspective from numbers to concept is all it takes from solving one particular question to solving an array of similarly framed questions
the universe expansion between two points is faster than the speed of light provided the two points are far enough apart. The chance two random points in spacetime are not far enough apart to outpace the speed of causality is infinitesimal, assuming an infinite universe, therefore your list should be 1-universe expansion 2-light 3-the joke flying over my head
Kyle Horne pick two points within your eyesight, the expansion of the space between those points is not the speed of light or anywhere close to it However the further apart the points are the faster they move apart up to (and at a great enough distance) exceeding the speed of light This here is a little strange to imagine but arises because the universe is expanding from every point including points between points which brings us this acceleration
Understanding all of this, impressive. Being able to come up with all this, super impressive. Being able to write the software to visualise all this from scratch, and explain it in a way that's both interesting and semi understandable to those not involved with maths...... I can't decide whether that's equally impressive as those who came up with it, or more impressive. It's surely a talent far more useful than coming up with the theory in the 1st place.
Possibility. Not probability. Possibility of you finding a 100 dollar build the next time you go for a walk? 50/50. Probability of you finding one? Probably near 0. (including the probability that you ever go for a walk in the first place lmao)
I figured it out before he introduced the 2 dimension example. All points of the sphere are equal and so the average of random distribution cuts the sphere in half 3 times over, the same likelihood as 3 heads in a row. Doesn't work with 5 points unless working in 4 dimensions, dividing each vector of the dimensions, which is 1/16th or 4 heads in a row. I don't have a high school education.

So a gram means ahh... Let's assume it to be hydrogen's anti protons for calculation purposes 1 mole of anti-Hydrogen is 2 grams that (because hydrogen exists as H2) which means 1 moles of anti-Hydrogen contains (6.023*10^23) anti hydrogens so 1 gram is (3.0115 *10^23) which requires you to prepare a particle accelerator that is as efficient as that it need to create 3.0115 *10^23 anti-protons( I m using the word proton instead of hydrogen because it doesn't matter hydrogen can be called a proton as it has has only one proton and we count the proton and neutron for mass number) so the particle accelerator should work at an efficient 3.0115 *10^17 times the one currently being available.
So in plain word's if we have the materials we would have done that long ago, unfortunately we don't have the materials we require. A gram of anti matter costs around 62 trillion dollars which means you need to sell your country for that!

@@casperthegamer7176 hell yeah GPG!
Alright, real answer here
*Tetrahedron is like pyramid but all the edges are parallel.* Think of it like cube and cuboid. All 12 edges of cube is the same length , meanwhile there's 2 different pair of different edges of cuboid with different length. In this case, *tetrahedron is a prism with 4 triangular faces, 6 straight edges, and 4 vertices (aka corners).* Hope this helps you
I am so not understand any of this... But I still watched
Build more pylons
In 1D it would be 2 points "randomly" selected out of 2 points on a line, probability of 1/2 that it is the different point and the connecting line goes through the center. For 4D and above I think it's quite helpful to move away from the visual intuition and describe it formally, but it is still the visual intuition that was the key to the solution.
Yes good point and the 1D case would be very easy too, the probability that two random points on a line when connected contain the centre. Doesn’t matter which side of the centre the first point is on, the 2nd point just needs to be on the other, which is of course a 1/2 chance as you said!

Heres a problem for you Taran, say if you have 104 keys on a keyboard, how many macros could you bind if you could press 10 buttons at once to make a shortcut.
Answer:
Nice try. Even if you could remember them all, it's impossible to accurately press down 10 arbitrary keys simultaneously. Even two keys simultaneously is a bad idea, unless one of them is a modifier key.
If it's macros you're after, a secondary keyboard is the way to go. In that case, more than one modifier key at a time is usually inefficient. Also, WIN and ALT are dangerous under most circumstances. Therefore, only CTRL and SHIFT remain.
Therefore, the most macros you can safely get out of a 104-key keyboard is:
104 - 8 modifier keys
x 3 (CTRL, SHIFT, and unmodified)
= 288 macros.
384 If you include the double-tapping of a single key. (Tapdancing)
Of course, it's easier just to add another keyboard rather than use modifiers in this way, which is, of course, why I have 3 keyboards and counting.
Yeah, totally took the bait on that one.
Try binding U +2 +3 +5 together, tnt should work as a trigger if packed densely enough (and if you use egg shaped warheads). Heard Cesium is pretty common in the trigger aswell.

When I was in college we had a “project” that was due in a week. We were tasked to write a simple program that enabled the user to enter three, 3-coordinate points in space and have the output give you the area of the triangle. I solved it in one day and my answer was given on a single side of a single sheet of paper. The following week, all my classmates turned in these huge packets with dozens of pages in them. The following Monday the professor gave back all the graded papers except for mine. He held up my single sheet answer and told the whole class that their work was shit and that this is how your answer should look. I felt like a million bucks.
Lmao
tbf ur class really was stupid then, this is incredibly easy
Wow nice job, what was your solution
@@sunnyk7893 given that the area or a triangle is (base * height)/2, all he did was probs calculate the vectors using the coordinates of the points given, to deduce the base and height of the triangle, and then output it, it's really nothing complicated to code on top of that, this is more logic than actaul coding
@xxNewEraxx it requires 3 dimensional calculus, so unless you’ve taken advanced calculus of the type you only see in Engjneering or Mathematics majors in college, it isn’t that simple. I’m fact, everyone else in the course started their project with the same failed premise as you and that’s why it took them piles of useless paper and theory to attempt to solve it. With 3D Calculus it has a simple and elegant solution.

Nope. As long as my school wants high grades from students to show off and bait parents, they ain't making math harder
I did the problem with a square and it made it way simpler to do it with the circle! It’s really interesting because framing the question in a certain way makes it so that the shape of the object is almost arbitrary!
I inscribed the circle in a square. I then divided it into 4 parts by the diagonals.
Take an edge. That edge is 2 of the 3 points of your triangle. Now move the last point and note the area under which the middle is covered. That area should be only one of the 4 parts of the square that you cut using the diagonals. Using the same diagonals, you get 4 of these situations because there are 4 edges and each of them gives you 1/4.
If you take a fresh square now and make 2 cuts that serve the same purpose as the diagonals in the other case, you’ll find that you have another set of 4 configurations that give you an average area of 1/4 because each set of 2 is mirrored.
Since the circle is inscribed and we used areas we can use the same cuts for the circle and it still holds.
If you do the same thing with a cube and make 4 cuts. You can do the same thing but you get 1/8.
This shit is so cool

I am taking a Putnam exam prep seminar and this problem was on our homework for this week. I solved it a few days ago. My solution wasn't quite as elegant as the one in this video; I used a triple integral to find the average area of a spherical triangle, making use of a symmetry in the "area of a spherical triangle" function to avoid having to actually find a formula for it. In hindsight, I could have made use of even more symmetries (specifically, the fact that there are always seven other triangles that add up to the whole sphere), which is more or less what you did.
My solution:
When we choose three random points on a sphere, we get three random variables that we can use to calculate the triangle's area:
θ₁ = angle along arc from point A to point B
θ₂ = angle along arc from point A to point C
ϕ = angle at point A between the two arcs
All three variables are in the range [0, π]. They are independent with probability densities sin(θ₁)/2, sin(θ₂)/2, and 1/π.
Let Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) denote the area of a spherical triangle, where the area of the whole sphere is taken to be 1. Note that Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) + Area(π - θ₁, π - θ₂, ϕ) = ϕ/2π, since together these two triangles fill up the region between two meridians ϕ radians apart.
The average area of a spherical triangle is
∫ ∫ ∫ (sin(θ₁)/2) (sin(θ₂)/2) (1/π) Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ
= (1/4π) ∫ ∫ ∫ sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ
= (1/8π) ∫ ∫ ∫ (sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) + sin(π - θ₁) sin(π - θ₂) Area(π - θ₁, π - θ₂, ϕ)) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ
= (1/8π) ∫ ∫ ∫ sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) (Area(θ₁, θ₂, ϕ) + Area(π - θ₁, π - θ₂, ϕ)) dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ
= (1/16π²) ∫ ∫ ∫ sin(θ₁) sin(θ₂) ϕ dθ₁ dθ₂ dϕ
= (1/16π²) ∫ sin(θ₁) dθ₁ ∫ sin(θ₂) dθ₂ ∫ ϕ dϕ
= (1/16π²) * 2 * 2 * (π²/2)
= 1/8.
(All of the integrals are from 0 to π.)
Bro, there are more integrals in your solutions then there are in the quantum wave function.

1.) simplify the questions you’re being asked
2.) ask simpler versions of the question

4.) it doesn’t take away from your Value as a human

pick two points within your eyesight, the expansion of the space between those points is not the speed of light or anywhere close to it
However the further apart the points are the faster they move apart up to (and at a great enough distance) exceeding the speed of light

"creative writing degree" lol
What is that?
@@Inkripted Why not?
Lol
Years later I needed this result for a seemingly unrelated problem. I instantly remembered that 3b1b made a video on that!
Imagine if a kid asks how you would need this in real life.
How you would need this in real life?
@@joshuaoconnor8505 To brag 😅🤣
@@jootpepet dude he aint an idiot for making a joke
They would get shot on sight
Maybe if you want to be a physicist
I didn’t understand a single part of this video but I finished the whole thing anyway
On a lot of youtube videos, I tend to feel like I am wasting my time after having watched them, even if they are very informative and educational. I most likely end up feeling bad about the time spend through watching videos. Somehow, your channel is special in a sence that it has the opposite effect. After being a subscriber for a couple of months, I just came to realize that what I learn here is not only quite enriching and motivational, but is also a constant motor that drives my curriosity and makes me more proactive. Thank you for your time and effort put in your videos!
Thank *you* for such a heart-warming content. I'm glad to be a motor for your curiosity, and I hope you continue to explore math more regularly and more deeply!
The reason you feel this is because
Teacher: You won’t bring a calculator everyday
ilyrican 3Blue1Brown's videos are a special blend of visual effects and broken down mathmatics that makes it appealing to see and delicious to digest!

That's called a paradox.
Somewhere between 0-100%. Looks like I got it right
um not negative 1%

@@masonkane5884 in this test I consider that a godsend.
Idiot you don’t know how to do math
@@nw3473 r/woooosh i was making a joke by pretending to not get the joke
The test where you got 3 marks out of 120
Others: wow u r a genius
Ha. I got -1937202 / 120. BEAT THAT
@@Elaine-kd6ri do you even get marks?
@@Dead-lynightshade I'm not sure what you mean- Are you asking if I get a score at all?
No it's just I'm so bad at maths that I can't even understand your marks
@@Elaine-kd6ri if anything thats even more impressive
Me: Clicked on the video
Also me: spends the whole time reading the comments
Now I'll have to replay the video
Lol
Me rn
@M4 haha 😂
I’ve watched this video every year since I was a freshman in high-school and now I just finished my freshman year of college and I finally understand every part of this proof and wow is it elegant
In class: this is a square
In homework: this is a circle
In test: what’s a tetrahedron
Tetrahedron is a platonic solid with 4 sides and all 4 sides are triangles. C'mon how old are you?
@@giantrunt bruh you probably googled that and you trying to flex cause you're actually dumb 😄
Alex Liu I dont😐
@Alex Liu i don't too, probably because you have asian level of math, And that's probably how tetrahedron is introduced to you
@@the_jones528 uhhh, I also know about the other 4 platonic solids.
Cubes are solids with 6 square sides.
Octahedron is a solid with 8 triangular sides (faces)
Icosahedron is a solid with 20 triangular faces
Dodecahedron is a solid with 12 pentagonal faces
It is simple stuff
