What Makes for ‘Good’ Math? | Podcast: Joy of Why
zhlédnutí 23KPřed měsícem
Terence Tao, who has been called the “Mozart of Mathematics,” wrote an essay in 2007 about the common ingredients in “good” mathematical research. In this episode, the Fields Medalist joins Steven Strogatz to revisit the topic.

How to Predict Eclipses: The Three-Body Problem
zhlédnutí 95KPřed měsícem
Nearly 3,000 years ago, ancient Babylonians began one of the longest-running science experiments in history. The goal: to predict eclipses. This singular aim has driven innovation across the history of science and mathematics, from the Saros cycle to Greek geometry to Newton’s calculus to the three-body problem. Today, eclipse prediction is a precise science; NASA scientists predict eclipses hu...
The mathematical 'worlds' of cryptography: Which universe do we live In?
zhlédnutí 44KPřed měsícem
For forty years, Russell Impagliazzo has worked at the forefront of computational complexity theory, the study of the intrinsic difficulty of different problems. The most famous open question in this field, called the P versus NP problem, asks whether many seemingly hard computational problems are actually easy, with the right algorithm. An answer would have far-reaching implications for scienc...
Why Is This Basic Computer Science Problem So Hard?
zhlédnutí 88KPřed 2 měsíci
How can a programmer ensure a critical piece of software is bug-free? Theoretical computer scientists use a fundamental question called the reachability problem, which determines whether a computer will reach or avoid various dangerous states when running a program. To better understand the complexity of the problem, researchers turned to a mathematical tool called vector addition systems. In a...
The Physicist Who 'Sees' Into Black Holes
zhlédnutí 48KPřed 3 měsíci
How do supermassive black holes shape the evolution of galaxies? What does an event horizon really look like? Why do black holes emit bursts of energy called ‘relativistic jets’? In search of answers to these questions, astrophysicist Erin Kara explores black holes by carefully tracking the gas and plasma swirling near their event horizons. To reconstruct the immediate environment, Kara turns t...
The Mandelbrot Set: Inside Math's Famous Fractal
zhlédnutí 183KPřed 3 měsíci
The Mandelbrot set is a special shape, with a fractal outline. Use a computer to zoom in on the set’s jagged boundary and no matter how deep you explore, you’ll always see near-copies of the original set - an infinite, dizzying cascade of self-similarity and novel features. The Mandelbrot set is a perfect example of how a simple mathematical rule can produce incredible complexity. This video co...

Beautiful, succinct explanation. This video should be shown to people of all backgrounds.
I respect this idea, however, the paper does not mention the word "entanglement" once, and therefore I suspect it is not evolving in the right direction.

The brain is a large language model, so, yes. It'll be very interesting though to know at what point is an AI self aware, or just giving the illusion of self awareness.
Hii, Could you tell me what tools you use to edit your videos ? Because they're really beautiful ❤️
mathematics is the most beautiful and infinitely interesting thing that exists
I literally dont fucking care
What was found is gravitational radiation, not gravitational waves. Matter particles combined in a mass yields a neutral electromagnetic field as a Gravitational Mass. When that Gravitational Mass accelerates, it generates gravitational radiation. That is not the gravitational waves associated with the force of Gravity. Gravity is not restricted to light speed.

I learnt recently, that to enjoy life, you must stop asking why. Or in other words, stop asking why, and enjoy life. And here Quanta has a podcast called the "Joy of Why"? wewewew.
Imagine a mother does not have to carry an unborn child for as long as ~9 months anymore.
❤ При регистрации гравитационных волн LIGO, полезный сигнал 0,2% на шум приходится 99,8%. По другому можно сказать. - Если случайно совпадают шумы (мусор), на двух или трёх детекторах, то выдадут это за гравитационные волны, согласно подготовленных заранее шаблонов. На “ГИБРИД оптическом гироскопе" при регистрации, квантов гравитации оптом. Возможно полезные сигнал получим 74% и на шумы 26%. - Вам выбирать рулетку - что измеряет Вселенную и из чего, главное она состоит. В автобусе, в самолёте выполним опыт Майкельсона-Морли и определяя им прямолинейную скорость. - О таком опыте мечтал ещё Эйнштейн. Но мы, возможно будем наблюдать постулаты "Свет это упорядоченная вибрация гравитационных квантов. Доминантные гравитационные поля управляют скоростью света в вакууме". Есть предложение на совместное изобретения ГИБРИД гироскопа из некруглых, ДВУХ катушек с новым типом оптического волокна с «полой сердцевиной из фотоно-замещенной вакуумной зоной», где - свет в каждом плече проходит по 16000 метров при этом, не превышает параметры 0,4/0,4/0,4 метра и вес - 4кг.
The most amazing thing is, it all has to be done! Gteat.

Why is there no mention of the Trig proofs for the Pythagorean Theorem? Two thousand years and two highschoolers came up with two separate proofs. Seems like a big deal. Wonder why there is no video on them at all in any context on this channel?
"hell hath enlarged herself and opened her mouth without measure" (Isaiah 5) Per the physical analog of the interior volume of a black hole which appears to forever expand without limit.

A particle can be two different things at the same time and in the same exact space, just like Schrödinger's wave superposition and Born's particle superposition. Two completely different meanings attached to the same math.
Is this “quantum energy” what Nikola Tesla theorized existed all throughout empty space? Edit: Also, for these initial experiments/in general in order to send information through entangled atoms do they both need to be the same material? Could a carbon atom transmit the information to say a gold atom? Also how can we predict/tell what pockets of zero point energy will be entangled together? Meaning, is one carbon atom uniquely linked to another specific carbon atom (think their QR codes match) OR is it that ANY carbon atom is forever entangled with every other carbon atom that exists? Also, my last question is (and this seems like the biggest bottleneck to me) how do we, humans, organize our understanding of this to intentionally decide the destinations of this information we beam into these entangled particles? Also, is it possible that our radio waves give off some resonant energy frequencies that tickle the zero point energy particles and might be, unbeknownst to us, transmitting some kind of quantum data elsewhere in the universe or perhaps even beyond our (3D) dimension? Is what we are witnessing hints at the base code of the universe; between this and quarks and muons and all that kind of stuff? I don’t really know what I’m talking about, just a bunch of questions I’m asking to try and grasp the concepts . Any academic paper recommendations or lectures or podcast interviews from experts in the field would be super helpful if anyone ever bothers to read this gargantuan post.
ict homework ;)

I taught him well. Good to see one of my students succeed. =).
This was deeply unsatisfying because the theory in this area seems so weak and naive, comp sci (and related fields) have no robust theory of ‘Meaning’, of 'understanding', of 'intelligence'. What's failing here is our frameworks for describing cognition and the world, theorists have let us down.
The figure at timestamp 7:14 confused me. The first three terms show the value of the power of the prime in the denominator (2^3=8, 3^4=81), but in the remaining terms the denominators are left in the power representation (7^2, 11^3). Since you are only given a few seconds to look at this, it is hard to discern the pattern. It would have been better to leave the first three terms in the original form (2^0s, 2^1s, 2^2s, 2^3s, ....). MHO
