An infinite number of mathematicians walks into a bar. The first orders a pint. The second orders half, the third a quarter, and so on. The bartender pours them 2 pints and says, "Sort it out yourselves."

Brilliant but I think I heard that before somewhere
The bartender then spends the rest of eternity kicking them out while they try divvying up the portions
i reckon they just dont know their limit

Was the cake a lie?
+Mr Moseby K
Since watching this video when it first came out I have had several nightmares where I have to perform supertasks. Such as cutting that cake or making holes or stacking squares of infinitely halfling size, etc. Odd random stuff.
I also know in these nightmares I am making progress but always know that progress will never have an end point and the realization of that usually causes me to jolt awake.
My point is... Thank you Michael for providing me with nightmares I never knew I feared.
wait so does that mean your nightmares are time limited?
HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU DO IT!?!? WE HAVE TO KNOW!!!!!!!
DID YOUR NIGHTMARES END FASTER AND FASTER???
WAS THE LAMP ON OR OFF!?!?!?!
WAS THE CUBE ORANGE OR GREEN?!?!?!?!?!
The amount of sweaters this man has on at one time is terrifying
yes
Even those can't control he amount of energy he radiates
i thought he was gonna talk about it at the end haha
Real answer: every time the video cuts he takes the sweater off, puts an extra sweater on and puts the first sweater back. Then the video starts and he takes it off again so he never has more than 3 or 4 layers of clothing at a time. Fake answer: Vsauce bends the subatomic laws of physics so he can wear as many as he wants

Who asked
@@scar.bluesa I did
the universe feels disturbingly engineered to avoid paradoxes (beyond thought experiments) at times
Makes me think: "This stuff is possible, but we could never do it. What if there is something that could do the impossible possible?"
That's an incorrect way to put it. Rather, the reason we have no paradoxes is because that's what a paradox refers to, something beyond the logic of the universe. Something our of reality. Something unreal, untrue. If they did exist, they wouldn't be called paradoxes. Even then, the fact that these paradoxes don't exist answers why the universe exists how it is now in the first place.
People think I'm smart because of you.
Of course your Bill Nye the Dumbass Guy!!!!!!!!!
+Crux 211 woah gooD ONE BRO
You're*
To be fair, people only think he's smart because of information he acquired through research. Since watching this video can be counted as research on some level, you are the same. The only difference is that he spent a few days on the subject, and you just get the portion of the information he acquired that he shared with you in this brief video, plus whatever independent research you may or may not do.
you do realise thi sisn't the real bill nye right?
I was expecting for Michael to remove his sweater on each half until he removed infinite number of sweaters. :(
So was I!

Chalk me up on that too.
The conclusion analogy of the Neanderthals, tied up with the Saint-Exupery quote is one of the most legitimately inspiring academic calls-to-arms i have ever seen, even 7 years after first watching it. Vsauce is not just an amazing teacher, but one of the great philosophers of our time lowkey. Keep learning lads.
One must imagine Michael happy..

But what if the video would have continued forever?
Mathematician: "Math shouldn't be bound by the realities of spacetime"
Scientist: "This why everyone hates you"
As a physicist and a mathematician, I can tell you this is exactly why I hate myself
Scientists are mathematicians who lost interest in the abstract.
He Who Must Not Be Named tell that to theoretical physicists
@@irrelevantgaymer6195 question that is unrelated to the abstract, but...
Shouldn't "theoretical physicists" be called "hypothetical physicists", or do I not understand their roles in science correctly?
He Who Must Not Be Named a hypothesis is an assumption that’s not based any evidence, a theory is an explanation with the most evidence. Theoretical physicists deal with theory and implications of said theory, for example, the theoretical physicists working on the math behind alcubierre drives use general relativity and it’s implications if negative mass existed outside of virtual particles
Who else noticed that the video is a supertask? Half way through the video, Michael takes off his sweater revealing another. Then half way through the remaining time, he does it again, and so on until the end.
Am i the only one who noticed?😅
WAIT WHAT
I was kind of confused as to why he had multiple sweaters but this might explain it
Watching this in december 2022 again and seeing it was uploaded in 2015 left me flabbergasted. I just can't help the feeling like it was uploaded 2 years ago, and that's pushing it.

Leaf-blowing could be a supertask. I've noticed that every time I blow leaves in a straight line, half of the leaves go where I want, and half get pushed to the sides.

For the cube one, I thing the layers would eventually become thin enough to be translucent, meaning it wouldn't be orange or green, but some kind of horrible combination
But I don't know
Logically it will be like that ..
Because at some point the wide of the layers will be as small as plank length so the color which will reach the plank length first will be the answer

I feel like the concept of the plank length helps give these hypothetical experiments conclusive results since it’s now understood that there is likely a point at which you could not make something like a slice of cake thinner than it already is. I may be wrong about as I am not very informed on the relevant information but it was just a thought I had that would help solve the questions posed by this classic sauce video.
The way he did that second slice threw me into a blood rage

@@christinathea5737 Issa joke
It's almost 4. But at the moment 3,999.....................................
two plus two is four minus one thats three quick maths
I made a similar paradox in my head about a year ago before I watched this, using decimals, where you can infinitely add a value to a number such as one by adding 0.1 then 0.01 then 0.001 and so on forever but yet, even though you're infinitely adding a value to the number you never add enough value to sum up to 2.
Seeing as there is a limit to how small things can get, this means that adding an infinitely small value to something is impossible. This tells us how mathematics can create reality's that are impossible to the real world.
Watching this really helped me understand my own paradox better.
But what was probably the creepiest thing about this, was that I stayed up all night baffled by my own paradox and then the next day this video was on my for you page.
Bro really said "Judgement"
when he cut the vertically cut slices vertically again when there was a clear design in the cake to cut horizontally i almost broke something i swear
@Dr Deuteron yeap. thats me. every single day. i shit on the bed.
@Bonnie
Wouldn't that destroy the example and the entire point he was cutting it in the first place?
Same
He definitely did that on purpose
@@Axodus It'd still increase the surface area, just not as much
"Our impressive ability to confuse ourselves", I love this phrase.
So it's mathematically impossible. He will never reach the finish line. Yet logically, if hes moving, no matter how small the increments are, if hes moving a distance an infinite amount of times, he will reach the finish line. This shit is breaking my brain.
10:45 Michael: what's the answer?
Ad: THIS
"is the lamp on or off?"
Yes. Yes it is
It actually breaks lol
Then it is off...
No. No it isn't.
Perhaps. Perhaps it might.
Exactly.
"Is the lamp on or is it off? Is the cube green or orange? The answer is"
Yes
Actually, I think I'd answer "no" to both.
I lold
@Michael Darrow best answer here, A+
Or is it?
wouldnt the cube be some sort of brown because soon theyd be so thin it would be transparent and blend colors

What videos are in it?
I think the "we may just be very good at confusing ourselves" is a good point. Like, for example, the raising and lowering of a flag takes a not-infinitesimal amount of time. If you do it once for every half of the race left you finish, you will take an infinite amount of time, at the end all the time being taken up by raising and lowering the flags, sitting before the finish line simply flipping between them forever.
That was different. Usually VSauce's videos end with an existential crisis. Here, it ends with an unending motivation, and pride of our species.
"Will the lamp be on or off?"
Michael, you burned out the lamp.
Nah, the lightbulb explodes.
Easy, it will be off
But will it be on or off
Underrated comment 😂
@@TheOnlyBlancy broken. so... off... i guess...

The quote in the end, well that's what Vsauce has done for me. It's all about fostering and promoting and feeding your curiosity, and you learn practically anything you want. The amount of information available in the world is endless, but so is your curiosity.
The whole "are people getting hotter" thing is coming entirely from how many jumpers Michael wore in this video
The amount of research, effort and detailed material Vsauce produces is phenomenal. I mean, just look at how many links there are in the description! Not to mention the quantity of the video matched with its quality. Vsauce continues and will always fuck with our heads.
+Wagacca thanks, it's my new profile pic.
+Wagacca I appreciate the comments but one thing - I'm a guy haha
+Ommstar Official bet you didnt expect that
+Ommstar Official Lmao, but to be honest.. How many times do you see a real girl, using a half naked girl as their profile on RUclips?
+Wagacca Maybe I'm on the wrong side of RUclips and let's be honest - I don't think we'll see them on a Vsauce video.
Damn this guy has crazy shower thoughts
Lol
Tho he is not the guy coming up with the theories, he is just simplifying it enough to make it interesting for a RUclips video
@Mr. ET at least you didn't r/woosh

@@zentuorix1215 fuck off you know that you are unorginal
I already watched this video like 5 times and I have to say, the cake from the intro looks super delicious.
imagine you completed a supertask, then you get knocked out by an unknown force, you wake up and see you completed the first level
He so smoothly went from talking to the crowd to talking to the camera I didn't even notice.
Well you did, else you wouldn't have written this comment
We are the crowd, we’re just focused now so we don’t hear the laughter anymore

Michael: infinity isn’t a number
6 year old kid on the playground: did i *s t u t t e r*
?
Lol
Silly Stanley
@@camerongray7767 YES I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
What?
The cake cutting sound from the first introduction of the supertask is perfect
oh god I think I understood something just now: vsauce removes a sweater like a supertask waiting half the time he did before, 6 years after and I still find something new
