I get the feeling Cliff would be both the best and worst housemate ever at the same time. He'd probably steal your electricity for a week for an experiment and keep you awake all night learning to yodel, but then make a week's supply of pancakes at 4am in the morning.
He's the kind of person I love. The kind of person so much into his own thing he doesn't care about what people think. His math geekiness is contagious. Even if he's a bit odd, and sometime annoying, you can never be mad at him for very long. Honnestly, he's the kind of friend I want in my life. :)
I'm a math teacher in training, and watching the videos featuring Cliff, among all the others, renew my enthusiasm for being that person so overtly passionate about their subject that it inspires engagement. =]
Early 90's as a kid i was hooked on his book "The Cuckoos egg". When i got myself my first internet connection as a 17 year old 1997something one of the first things i did was sending Cliff an actual email. Can you imagine directly contacting your favorite AUTHOR? Wow. The power of the Internet. I sent him a mail asking if he could sign a book. I asked him were to ship it to and provided my overseas address so he could tell me the cost for him to send it back to me after he signed it. I would include dollar bills in the package, so i proposed. I didnt receive an answer. And stopped expecting one 3 weeks later. Then, four weeks later, there was a letter in my snailmailbox that a package was waiting for me at the post office: it was a signed fresh copy of Cliff's book!
Today I Learned: This guy outed an international hacker selling military secrets to the KGB because he spotted a 75c accounting error when working as a sysadmin in Berkeley.
Casey Broughton I'd actually put Tadashi above Cliff. He has the same enthusiasm and personability, but he's much more self-controlled. Kinda like the difference between a barbarian wildly flailing his sword versus a trained swordsman considering his moves. Anyway, James Grime is best Numberphile waifu.
NOW MAKE CLIFF READ NICE COMMENTS ABOUT HIM!! Here's mine: When I'm feeling sad, I re-watch Cliff's videos to cheer me up. His positivity and excitement can't help but brighten my day :)
When the video on Klein Bottles first came out I purchased three, one each, for my kid's Christmas presents and they are still on display in places of honor in each of their homes.
I already loved the humor on his web site when I bought. Klein bottles from him about ten years ago, but with every video I love him more. I want to be like him when I'm his age. ❤️
cliff is a madman! i was line number #1 when he spoke at a dayton, oh, library in the late 1980s/early 1990s and he signed my copy of the cuckoo's egg. he loves chocolate milk (someone brought him a thermos of it) and was a lot like he is in this video, climbing on tables and chairs and jumping around all over the place! lots of fun to watch!
When the world is facing an apocalypse and all the smartest people are in one room trying to find a solution for humanity. Cliff Stoll will be their leader.

BlobVanDam This was an excellent comment.
I bet he'd be awesome to hang out with. I hope by that age I can have that much enthusiasm and passion for something. :)

It's so cool to think that the Klein bottle on my shelf was fished out from under Cliff's house with a little forklift robot.

Cliff is like a 75 year old man with the excitement and enthusiasm of a 8 year old on Christmas morning that has an IQ of 140.
Kai Widman If he had an IQ of 140 at age 8 I wonder what his IQ would be today.
Kai Widman 140
unless brain transplant or something
Hello Kai. I am you from another dimension where your mother remarried before having you.
Whether this was a smart decision or not is up to debate.
Too much math for his meth
This is your brain on Klein bottles. Any questions?
Don't do Klein bottles kids.
Con rad "stop it. get some help."
Where can I get some??
Klein bottles... Not even once
All day everyday. Cliff is life goals
Rumour has it that Cliff start his day with 976 cups of coffee.
people get mad you mean 976 KLEIN BOTTLES of coffee?
No, klein bottles have zero volume, so that can't be it.
He starts his day smoking loads of weed to calm down to this level. We couldn't handle him on coffee
An astronomer drank 976 cups of coffee. This what happened to his klein bottle.

They simply couldn't handle it.

Rockerchavnerdemo source?
Source?
Jackozee Hakkiuz it's in a video Clif did for AT&T
Read the book "Cuckoos Egg". It goes through the whole story on the Hanover case
@@joelbolt359 actually he wrote the book. Because that book I know about him
I love Cliffs enthusiasm!
Understatement of the century.
On a bad day, if I were in that room I would not be so thrilled at his hyperactivity
If you are watching this video while it is still UNLISTED do not panic, it will be changed to listed a bit later.
why is that, might I ask
"No one reads the comments"
NOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm wasting my time
Duck, do not question the illuminati
Cliff is the best. He is so enthusiastic and full of energy about the things he loves. I strive to be more like him in that regard.
No offence to the various professors (they're all fantastic), but Cliff will always be my favourite Numberphile presenter 😆
Casey Broughton same, Tadashi is a close second imo
Casey Broughton I'd actually put Tadashi above Cliff. He has the same enthusiasm and personability, but he's much more self-controlled. Kinda like the difference between a barbarian wildly flailing his sword versus a trained swordsman considering his moves.
Anyway, James Grime is best Numberphile waifu.
Will Smith cliff
Tadashi

Everyone else

Tadashi
Matt
The Australian guy with curly dark hair
Cliff
The one that does 60 symbols
Everyone else
Someone introduce this guy to 3-D printing
"Are you gonna be talking about knots?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"can you make a knot in 2 dimensions?"
"You can knot"
Reminded me of his TED talk
"Cliff's just doing stuff now."
Cliff in a nutshell.
Cliff entertains me a whole lot more than he probably should.
what's that supposed to mean? :v
NOW MAKE CLIFF READ NICE COMMENTS ABOUT HIM!!
Here's mine: When I'm feeling sad, I re-watch Cliff's videos to cheer me up. His positivity and excitement can't help but brighten my day :)
Videos involving him really have soo many nice comments.
When the video on Klein Bottles first came out I purchased three, one each, for my kid's Christmas presents and they are still on display in places of honor in each of their homes.
The thing w/ the storage under his house is totally impressive
Matt did a Parker Square at that cameramanship!
I was wondering when a Parker Square joke would show. Lol
Love this guy - his passion and enthusiasm for math and Keith bottles is something I admire.
Cliff, don't ever die on us please. You're too great and fun!!
Man I love Cliff X°D
"Are you going to talk about knots?"
"I'm not sure yet!"
Would you say Matt was a Parker Square of a cameraman?
E1craZ4life I would totally agree! - He at least tried. Might've worked out, but unfortunately didn't
At least he gave it a go.
This was my thought too. Just checking the comments section before making this same observation.
I see Cliff Stoll, I like. I'm a simple man.
Of all of the Numberphile videos ftg. Cliff Stoll that I've so far seen (and I've seen a lot of them), this one is now my top-fav
This video made my day. I dont care if its about something lame or dumb, but I hope when I'm as old as he is I am that passionate about something.
I love cliff stoll. He is one of my numberphile favorites.
Thanks for sharing Brady, Cliff is such a special guy. ♥️
Cliff has more energy than a 4-year-old. He's amazing!
B-but, what's the complement to a figure eight knot?
My thought exactly!
infinite space minus a figure eight knot.
Was that your Hello Internet shoe Brady?
Based on the "Do you know how much they cost?" comment, I'm guessing they are!
Can confirm!
PompeyDB that's precisely what I wanted to know!
I've coiled a lot of audio cable, the struggle is real
I love that I now own one of his Klein bottles. Everyone should. The purchase experience is well worth it. Cliff is a real treasure.
Not entierly sure what I just watched... But would totaly watch again! I love the multi-camera video!
don't even have to watch, instant thumbs up, LOVE this guy!
Why doesn't Cliff Stoll have his own educational TV show yet?
He keeps bursting through into other studios.
Cliff Stoll for President! If any math professor can say that no student has ever fallen asleep in any of his lectures, it's this guy.
I already loved the humor on his web site when I bought. Klein bottles from him about ten years ago, but with every video I love him more. I want to be like him when I'm his age. ❤️
Love Cliff so much
Matt is a parker square of a cameraman!
How it feels to chew Klein bottle. *insert Cliff Stoll here* Klein bottle, stimulate your senses.
If you all haven't read Cuckoo's Egg, drop everything and do it.
OMG!OMG!OMG! 6:10! That's my brother and my nephew! They're IN a Numberphile video! OMG!
Cliff is such a beautiful human being☺️
The world needs more Cliff Stoll :D
A wonderful, wonderful man :-)
I assure you cliff that your videos are very interesting and entertaining
Cliff should definitely be given intangible asset status.
How can you NOT love Cliff Stoll???
I love how enthusiastic Chris is. he seems like he genuinely has fun with math!
I love this man so much
Please give us the part with matt as well :)
So....when is the Cliff video showing us his DeLorean DMC-12?
I just realise, that the mini klein bottle warehouse has a close resemblance with the salt mine storage.
Amazing.
Cliff is like Maths Gollum he loves his fourth dimension!
His enthusiasm is so contagious, it's the best
love him !!!
i love this man
Cliff is the best... If I have that much excitement at his age I would have lived a good life.
Sometimes I ask myself: How what where when why is Cliff Stoll?
Keep living in the moment Cliff; it's awesome seeing your "Authentic Self."
Matt & Cliff. My favorites
This is the best video.
I love that Professor Cliff Stoll. His enthusiasm is through the roof. (well almost, he jumps high though)
Cliff is crazy. i love him
This guy is crazy. Love it.
I deserve a medal for filming with Cliff. Now everyone knows how hard he is.
At 13:00 it's a video of a video of a video...? Vidception???
Is that Francis Su at 6:20? He has a great You Tube series on real analysis.
May we all find something that makes us this excited about.
Hehehe, he is as crazy as crazy as he looks! awesome!
Is this the guy from Back To The Future?
Missing NTLDR no
@@alexwang982 He hasn't gone back yet. He needs to go back and tell the world about Klein Bottles
For most videos I play them at about 1.5 but with every Cliff video I watch on any channel, it's 1.25 or just normal
he's just amazing :D
Cliff is my spirit animal.
I was there, it was soo cool. I even got to meet Matt
The nail and gear shoe!
Wow, i like this channel, but man, honestly, i can't watch all of its videos...
But when I read "Cliff..." I said "I MUST WATCH THIS ONE!"
There's literally not enough like buttons in the universe for this.
cliff is a madman! i was line number #1 when he spoke at a dayton, oh, library in the late 1980s/early 1990s and he signed my copy of the cuckoo's egg. he loves chocolate milk (someone brought him a thermos of it) and was a lot like he is in this video, climbing on tables and chairs and jumping around all over the place! lots of fun to watch!
nice hello internet shoes you have there. what a shame if someone knotted the laces...
Magic...
I'm just wondering when that shoe will be up on eBay?
Is Cliff Stoll really Doc Brown that has time traveled to our time? He is so wonderful
Is that an official hello internet sneaker?
indeed it is!
Tim?
Chandler Gloyd is that an official hellbenders channel icon?
Seriously, I hurt a little when he violently tore the shoe string from it. That thing is freaking expensive
Cliff is just the best guy in the world
4:23
That's me!
upload the whole thing
I am never more afraid for my life than when I ask Cliff Stoll not to move.
Where do I order a bottle from cliff again?
No! The sacred Hello Internet shoe. It has been violated!
He has and is fun.
And I don't like looking at my performances too. Or listening to them.
So this is Rick's life without alcohol nor portal gun
Cliff should watch this video.
topologists are absolutely insane lmao
Matt!
0:00 imagine randomly strolling by a sign that says "Brady Haran, Matt Parker and Cliff Stole"
Can someone please explain what the "hello Internet" shoe thing is about?
Kai Widman Thanks! 😃
When the world is facing an apocalypse and all the smartest people are in one room trying to find a solution for humanity. Cliff Stoll will be their leader.
This guy is hysterical and hilarious.
