im an introvert too, and i too tend to not care much about popularity. but advantages to being popular are obvious. popular individual gets more job choices(corruption and nepotism included), peer support, mating opportunities... also, more power. if every person you are connected to have a tiny bit of influence on your thinking and doing(which it does in human societies), cumulative power of people like lady gaga, angelina jolie, or oprah is enormous!
It bothers me that basically all top comments are about Hannah being a beatiful woman with a beautiful voice. Far more important is the fact that the subject is interesting, that the delivery can be understood and that the sketches are lovely. I am active in mathematics and it is clear how the ratio of women to men declines quickly from undergrad student to grad student all the way up to professor. One of the contributing factors is constantly getting hit on.
+Love Forsberg Or maybe it is the other way around they are constantly getting hit on because the ratio of female to heterosexual male is close to zero Even if you look at the viewers of science channels on youtube, most of them are male go to a male celebrity channel and you will the exact opposite
+ILYES That may be the case on channels. If so, I'd argue that the problem is in fact even worse (in the spirit of two wrongs not making a right). However, I know both from person-to-person experience and polls that women do think twice (or more) before joining STEM fields due to gross under-representations. While I for one wouldn't mind to get hit on every once in a while, I would be bothered when it happenes every week. Or from people with power over me. This is the reality for a lot of females in STEM. However, my experiences are not first-hand, so I will not make any stronger statements than I have already made. I just wish that we could get to the point where gender (self assigned or otherwise) and other non-issues could remain non-issues at the workplace. And I work in Sweden, mind you, where we are relatively close to equality.
+ILYES Actually, I have another remark to your comment. Why on earth would you comment on the looks of a complete stranger? It tends to get creepy really fast, so keep those behaviours to Tindr and other self-selected communities where looks are part of the deal.
+Love Forsberg Personally I too find it creepy to comment on a stranger's look on youtube, he probably won't even read it and even if he does he certainly won't read your name, but on the internet creepy and weird are the norms. however in real life it is normal for women to get hit on all the time if they are the minority in that environment although it might be irritating. You yourself said you don't mind getting hit on every once in a while and if the number of people who think it is ok to hit on you even once is bigger you will get hit on more often especially if you are more unique
+ILYES I think we are more or less in agreement. Internet isn't all that bad, but some places (RUclips comments) are way worse than other. Even so, I think it is better to try to correct behaviour (and ban notorious trolls) rather than accept the situation as is. I think a lot of people are unaware of how to properly treat fellow human beings. As I said, I enjoy compliments in moderation (and I have never received too many), but I don't expect that others do. I only compliment friends and only when they have put in extra work on their looks. I would guess that getting hit on in the work place is far worse than in the streets (as long as there is no threat), but, again, I do not have any first hand experience and can only inference from general discussions and from what my friends and family tell me.
Unfortunately, it seems the key graphic "Creating networks that look like this..." got left out. I think many of the "I didn't understand that" comments might have been avoided, if the key to the whole video didn't get left on the editing room floor.
It validates your self-worth. It feeds the needs of others who assign value to themselves through association, but inhibits personal growth, introspection and self-actualization. Popularity is the drug of choice for the insecure extrovert.
I am from Britain but I do not have a British accent because I do not have an accent that can be associated with any accent from Britain. There is no such thing as a British accent. I agree her accent is a West Country accent (which you'll see I mentioned once already) but that is what you call an English accent for it is from England. A Glaswegian accent has never, and probably never will be, called a British accent even though Glasgow is in Britain.
No such thing as a British accent, since there are four countries in Great Britain - Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. I don't know about you but I've never heard one accent that combines all four. Hannah has an English accent. As far as I can tell she's a well-spoken West Country (Somerset) accent.
The concept is this, to increase the probability of finding the most popular person or the "central hub", send a package that flows through everyone's network and you'll find most of the packages will eventually pass by a few people the most times, given enough iterations.
My maths suck but the 1.5 is probably die to 6 friendships divided by 4 individuals. JMEinstein (2 friendships), JMDarwin (2 friendships), JM Cox (2 friendships)
I believe the idea was that the "unknown" friend is, in fact, supposed to be James May, as in: There are two parts of the diagram: 1. James May has 3 friends, and 2. each of those friends only has one friend (that is: James May). But the graphics simply weren't very clear at showing that.
Your argument is good, just your conclusion doesn't acknowledge that if James gets it from the start, he doesn't get to keep it; the instruction is "give this to a friend," not "give this to James." Hence 3 in 4 chance of James ending up with it (and, yes, 1 in 1 chance of James having the handkerchief in his possession at some point)
easiest way to observe twitter popularity is observe the ratio of following to followers. I have a ratio of 1:2.4 The average nobody has a ratio significantly less than 1:1
We're giving the handkerchief to Einstein. He has 1 friend - James. So, Einstein is gonna give it to James. As well as Cox and Darwin. So far, James receiving 3 handkerchiefs in 3 situations. But, keeping on with experiment, we also should give handkerchief to James. And James is gonna give it only to 1 of his 3 friends. So, in these 4 situations James would receive handkerchief 4 times, but give only once. So, in the end James would end up with 3 handkerchiefs. That is why it's 3 in 4 chances.
Mmmhmm mhmm sounds legit... "Now who said math doesn't get used by the Gestapo to crush down the opposition" Wait what. Hold on I think I misheard something.
I am so confused by this, I don't think this is correct couldn't James Cox just give it to his other friend? And how come it is a 1/4 chance when there are only 3 people?
+HeyYouCristina In essence: The (arithmetic) mean* and the median** can be pretty far off from each other. In real networks a minority of nodes/people have a disproportionate number of neighbors/friends. This, by definition, has an impact on the mean, but not on the median. In terms of assets. Imagine you have a neigborhood of 999 regular joes whose loans and savings add up to 0, and one billionare. The mean value of their assets is 1.000.000.000/1000=1.000.000, i.e. on average each guy is a millionare. However, the median of their assets is 0, i.e. the typical person there owns 0. *mean: sum of values/number of values. **median: the value such that half of the people have a lower number and half a higher.
Hannah, do you know what ASMR is, and if so, would you consider doing some videos using this? I found your voice very ASMR'ish. (That even a word?) So, yeah.
How did the odds increase from 1 in 4 to 3 in 4? 1 in 4 of course, since there are 4 friends and James is one of them... but how come it became 3 in 4. We could give the handkerchief to any of the three and it would lead to james(3/4) and the other possibility is that it would have been given to James from the start (1/4). Doesn't that mean there's a 1 in 1 chance of it getting to James?
James gets the same instructions as the others, therefore he also gives it to a friend. (Assuming he doesn't consider himself a friend) someone else gets it.

I will listen to anything Hannah says, about anything.
exactly. she could read the dictionary or the obituaries and I would tune in
I want a video that analyses the ratio between "Hanna is so hot" and "this is so cool" comments, on all Hanna Fry videos.
There isn't a single Hannah Fry video that couldn't be described as both.
judging from the comments, i'd say your pretty popular hannah.
easiest way to find james may: go to the pub or the nearest garden shed
Or look for the trail of dying celebrities
Hannah, don't ever change
I think I've just found a new favorite channel! Always a pleasure to see inventive and creative uses for mathematics.
her voice is very soft and calming
im an introvert too, and i too tend to not care much about popularity. but advantages to being popular are obvious. popular individual gets more job choices(corruption and nepotism included), peer support, mating opportunities... also, more power. if every person you are connected to have a tiny bit of influence on your thinking and doing(which it does in human societies), cumulative power of people like lady gaga, angelina jolie, or oprah is enormous!
The virus bit is so relavent today
You're not as popular as you think you are! Hannah Fry explains:
ruclips.net/video/Z_15zbgNpHk/видео.html
You are amazing guys :D
This aged quite well.
her voice...
Thank you for the clarification. I misinterpreted that part and assumed that James would keep his.

the picture of the mouse and the scientist "you didnt respond to my friend request" is too funny, lol
Unfortunately, it seems the key graphic "Creating networks that look like this..." got left out. I think many of the "I didn't understand that" comments might have been avoided, if the key to the whole video didn't get left on the editing room floor.
Uh- is no one gonna talk about corona virus as she’s explaining this like😳
The video is now 8 years old. Long before Corona was a thing we all worried about.
Going off the about page it's a group called "360 Productions" but that simply says who the videos are produced by.

I'm a fan of you Hannah, I just refuse to use twitter.
"And most of D-Ream" .... brilliant
If the Mathematicians at my Uni were a bit like her ;)
Mine are!! Hannah is quite attractive on every level isn't she
"Hang on maths, what have you been drinking?" Great line!!! ;D
No such thing as a British accent, since there are four countries in Great Britain - Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. I don't know about you but I've never heard one accent that combines all four. Hannah has an English accent. As far as I can tell she's a well-spoken West Country (Somerset) accent.
The line drawings are fantastic. wish you guys at least put him/her on the credit.
Did anyone almost get ASMR from this, if you know what that is? Because I did. She has a very calming voice:
Hannah you are beautiful , intelligent, have a great voice !
*Dies in awe*
What a lovely accent *-*
The concept is this, to increase the probability of finding the most popular person or the "central hub", send a package that flows through everyone's network and you'll find most of the packages will eventually pass by a few people the most times, given enough iterations.
I see no issues enjoying all aspects of this video and audio recording
Is there anyone after Corona here lol
My maths suck but the 1.5 is probably die to 6 friendships divided by 4 individuals. JMEinstein (2 friendships), JMDarwin (2 friendships), JM Cox (2 friendships)
Yeah, I have to admit, I could listen to her talk all day. Fascinating topics, however.
I guess we need that math right now
Didn't understand the video but I'm in love.
I believe the idea was that the "unknown" friend is, in fact, supposed to be James May, as in:
There are two parts of the diagram:
1. James May has 3 friends, and
2. each of those friends only has one friend (that is: James May).
But the graphics simply weren't very clear at showing that.
I'm not denying what you said, but you might want to try listening too; it's interesting stuff.
Your argument is good, just your conclusion doesn't acknowledge that if James gets it from the start, he doesn't get to keep it; the instruction is "give this to a friend," not "give this to James." Hence 3 in 4 chance of James ending up with it (and, yes, 1 in 1 chance of James having the handkerchief in his possession at some point)
Ok, I'll follow you on Twitter... If that's what you want to say with this video...
Lol
I can listen to her all day
I remember this as the plot of an episode of a British comedy with Peter Davidson.
"I have a few hundred followers on Twitter..."
Well, she's up to over 42,000 Twitter followers now!
Love your voice. Cool explanation
We love a brilliant ginger.
well 3 years later and that 800 has jumped to nearly thirty thousand followers
So THAT'S why 40,000 people tried to give me handkerchiefs yesterday.
Just sneeze. The more people say "bless you" - the more popular you are.
Not in Europe . You label yourself if you do that.
I was already following her on twitter, so I like to think that she mentioned me on the vid :D
her voice is soooo nice... she needs to do audio books.
can anyone explain to me why her voice is so soothing
I can't help myself dream of things when she is speaking
We're telling the receiver of the handkerchief to give it to a friend, and that's before we know who that actually is.
Using her math skillz on social media!
I love her voice.
I just suscribed, your channel is amazing.
Oh, I have just understood what you meant. Yeh, the 1.5 comes out of 6 divided by 4. :)
I've watched this video so many times, primarily because of that accent! She also seems really nice.
Hey my sweet how r u and a Merry Christmas to u boo :-)
Who is the drawer?
and what program did he use?
soothing british accent for the win
^_^
easiest way to observe twitter popularity is observe the ratio of following to followers. I have a ratio of 1:2.4 The average nobody has a ratio significantly less than 1:1
Wow, that was amazing.
Did you also replay that section where she say's "you're drunk maths", but her lips and voice appear to project mass instead lol
Yey for James May.
Amen brother.
Great sketches.
Now replace "contagious deceases" by "information" and the whole idea suddenly becomes much more unsettling...
So Captain Slow is the famous one in this video. :D
Confusion, it's in my brain.
She's FryRsquared on Twitter, guys. ;)
Things that I don't get: Linear algebra, quantum physics, this.
Seems like governments totally ignored this rationale.
Great artwork btw. Oh I'm going to follow you now lol.
800? Few?? That's like my whole school.
Wait, you say math AND maths? Are you trying to break my brain?
I often find myself asking "that" of maths.
Who does the artwork in the videos?
What a shame HM Gov didn't follow this logic during the COVID years.
We're giving the handkerchief to Einstein. He has 1 friend - James. So, Einstein is gonna give it to James. As well as Cox and Darwin. So far, James receiving 3 handkerchiefs in 3 situations. But, keeping on with experiment, we also should give handkerchief to James. And James is gonna give it only to 1 of his 3 friends. So, in these 4 situations James would receive handkerchief 4 times, but give only once. So, in the end James would end up with 3 handkerchiefs. That is why it's 3 in 4 chances.
Yeah I didn't follow. I think this needs to be longer.
Mmmhmm mhmm sounds legit...
"Now who said math doesn't get used by the Gestapo to crush down the opposition"
Wait what. Hold on I think I misheard something.
2:40 this is relevant
Not anymore! Can't believe it's been 4 years.
I am so confused by this, I don't think this is correct couldn't James Cox just give it to his other friend? And how come it is a 1/4 chance when there are only 3 people?
I feel so stupid... I didn't understand any of it...
Don't worry ..me either lol

*mean: sum of values/number of values.

You idiot
I really don't understand half of what you just said
Hannah, do you know what ASMR is, and if so, would you consider doing some videos using this? I found your voice very ASMR'ish. (That even a word?) So, yeah.
Why would they all give it to James? They all still have one other friend, don't they
Imagine if popularity doesn't actually matter! *cough cough* it doesn't XD
I did not get it ,how to find out the hub by giving him a hankerchif
love the lady gaga image... :D
.. this vid was uploaded Aug 13 not Aug 8 ... how did that happen? HdSqz or U2b out of sync?
All this video made me want to do is unfollow popular people, clearly I'm a pro at putting maths into action
So this is a bit like the statement:
"The majority of people have above average number of legs."
Go home maths, you're drunk.
thinking about stuff like this makes my head hurt i listen and wach different siecy stuff but this one in paticular is... Huh
How did the odds increase from 1 in 4 to 3 in 4?
1 in 4 of course, since there are 4 friends and James is one of them... but how come it became 3 in 4. We could give the handkerchief to any of the three and it would lead to james(3/4) and the other possibility is that it would have been given to James from the start (1/4). Doesn't that mean there's a 1 in 1 chance of it getting to James?
James gets the same instructions as the others, therefore he also gives it to a friend. (Assuming he doesn't consider himself a friend) someone else gets it.
who is unknown friend?
So Just how popular are we then?
Just give the damn thing to James
Oh man, I fear I'm developing a liking for maths!
