"A quick walk in the garden......" - then a kangaroo shows up. Australia in a nutshell
Went looking for this exact comment
That's a wallaby mate
I’ve had a kangaroo knock over my bloody bin. They also casually brush past my house - they’re mostly docile though.
I love Oz. Been there. Left my heart there. Antipode. 25 hrs of flight, worth of it. Off-topic, of course. Siiighhhhh...
This was breathtakingly good. Really really good. I also loved your honesty at the end about presenting your own ideas. Can't wait to see it 🤓🥳
Yeah me too, great channel btw!
Thanks Rohin :)
what if I told you the game of life can run game of life within the game of life
Why are you always top comment on all this channels videos?
@@TheTransitmtl i would guess its one of those two reasons (could also be both reasons combined): 1. They know and support each other 2. Hes a simp and wants her attention as hes crushing for her. What do you think lol?
Creators like you make CZcams an amazing place. Thankyou for your quality content. I am watching this video from India, from the outskirts of a small city. Just wandering and feeling grateful that people like you exist. ( Vsauce, Physics Girl, Arvin Ash, Veretasiam etc etc ) All are great individuals.
My heart almost stopped when u took a lit match near the ferris wheel model. Anyways, amazing video as always!
me too! i was like, sure the wooden contraption ain't as amazing as the other examples of fractal complexity, but it's still pretty cool...
Seems you don't know reality very well...? It's not like it would just burst into flames.... She'd have to hold the match under any part of the wood for a good bit before it would start burning. And even then it would take many minutes for the fire to spread.
Comments that make no sense like yours are depressingly common. It's like you're either bots or people that have never done anything and have some seriously weird, illogical ways to "think".
@@MuscarV2 wow, thanks for stating the obvious. I was saying how much I liked the Ferris wheel model in a wacky way. Comments like yours that are condescending and insensible ain't rare and delightful either.
It's like beheading someone for sneezing in the library!

@@nithyadavuluri7287 lmfao that guy has a stick so far up his own ass he wouldn't know to laugh or cry at his own sorry shit. how the heck does he even survive in youtube comments xD
Simple rules create complex patterns: The power of emergence! For me, emergence is one of the most important principles of the universe.
Also illustrated here is that nonlocal structure and behavior can emerge from strictly local rulesets.
One of the early - admittedly handmade - implementations of this insight was the use of "simulated annealing" for finding nonlocal optima using strictly local rules.
Local rules can perform simple hill climbing in an obvious way, but the search will terminate upon hitting a local maximum.
Short of allowing each local climber to confer with the others (thus destroying strict locality) what can we do? Simply shake the system periodically, to overcome local maxima. Each progressive shake is less forceful, so that the climbers tend to end up less far away from their starting point on a given iteration. What's good about this approach is its local rules leading to emergent global optimization, which not only lends itself to parallel implementation but also supports the natural emergence of such rules if they confer survival advantage.
Adding noise to aid convergence is also a technique used in signal discrimination. I believe that the CDMA cellular protocol was one of the earlier implementations, or maybe it was spread spectrum.
This is an amazingly fun video 💆♀️
Hey Jabril!
yo
Yes jabrils comments in up and atom and up and atom in jabrils
She: our world isnt a computer simulation programmed by someone...
Vsauce: Or is it?
One of the best arguments (for me) is, that if simulated universes are possible, there would be a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation, going on forever, making it almost impossible that any specific world would be the original one (by chance). So if it is possible, we're almost certainly a simulation, and if we aren't a simulation we also most likely won't be able to create a super-computer strong enough to simulate a universe with sentience.
So simply put... Either we are a simulated reality, or it's impossible to simulate realities. The chance that we are the first generation to think about it, in the infinity of space and time, is almost too ridiculously small to even consider it...
But all the logical experiments end up at the same conclusion.. Either we are, or we aren't xD
Ha best comment!
And how much does it weigh?
@@liquidminds and at the end of the day, if we are or aren't in a simulation isn't relevant
@@liquidminds Very interesting commentary!
We may or may not be living inside a simulation... but sure we are living in an illusion that we can wake up from
what i mean is that as many atoms form a molecule, many molecules a cell, many cells an organ, many organs an animal, many animals a pack, many packs a society, many societies a civilization (i may be skipping lots of things, but sure the point is understood)... what will happen when humankind as a whole become a single sentient being on its own?
The process indicates that we may find and merge with other planetary civilizations and form a bigger one and so on
How vast and deep can grow our knowledge and understanding of everything? there's no limit... so, there you have the layers of the alleged simulation... nothing more (or nothing less) than different and ever increasing complex (visions of) realities
BTW, @UpAndAtom, very interesting video!
The production quality of the video is on a higher level than your past videos. Very well done. On to million more subscribers.
thank you :)
Keep it up! Don't ever let yourself believe you can't learn something. And NEVER stop learning. Even years from now keep learning something new every day. At least 1 thing. You'll be amazed at what you're capable of by the time you're 30. And I want to say how much I respect you for having that drive to learn and being inspired by videos like this just the way I was, and still am to this day. I'm 37 years old by the way and still very much learning everything I can. I've got a stack of notebooks just like any school student. I watch college and university lectures online, and stuff like this. I read textbooks for fun. Even though I left school when I was only 14 because people beat me up and spit on me and the teachers treated me bad and so on. And I wasn't interesting in learning at that time. But thankfully I grew into it.
And yeah, sure enough learning since I was 18 or 19, making a point of learning a few things each day, I now know and can do things I never would have thought I could learn. Because I'd see a subject like quantum mechanics and I wouldn't think "oh that's too hard, I'll never understand that. Why bother trying?" I'll go and try it anyways, even if I know I won't understand. Because you still pick up little bits and pieces here and there. Even if you don't realize it. And if you do that enough times with enough different resources for long enough, eventually you'll learn it just the same. It's not the fastest way to learn something. But anything worth learning is going to take a lot of time and effort to learn. So don't even worry about how long it takes you to learn something (unless you have a deadline for school hehe). Just enjoy the journey of learning!
Sorry this wound up being rather long. But I respect the hell out of people like you and I just want to give you as much advice as I can from my own experiences. Even if it helps a little bit, that's fine by me. But I do hope this has been useful to you. By the way I also want to mention, your English is very good. Take care, and be well. Wishing you all the best from Canada.
Physics must be understood the way you do.. I am inspired from you and aiming to pursue a research carrier in physics. I am in 12th grade currently.. Love from India.
good luck!
@@upandatom Thank you so much mam... May I ask you who has been your inspiration in the field of Science..
It is this "Standing on the shoulders of giants" or building on what has gone before so it is this human quest for knowledge that is inspirational.
Binod
@ROHIT RANA Those will always be servants who study just for a job... We should remember Feynman's statement that everything must be studied in order to correct it, to verify and give the correct thing... A job aimed study will never leads toward enlightenment

Conway's Game of Life is Turing-complete. There are configurations in the Game that simulate Turing machines. Combining that idea with the Recursion Theorem (there are Turing machines that output their own descriptions), you can produce configurations in the Game that simulate Turing machines that output their own descriptions.
yes it is! so fascinating
O . O
do you have examples?
also, aren't turing machines... indistinguishable from humans or something?
or is a turing machine different from passing the turing test...
@alveolate hermeneutist No, Turing test and Turing machine have nothing to do with each other, except both named after Alan Turing.
A Turing machine is a simple, abstract model of a computer. It’s for example used to define what an algorithm is.
It also means that you could run Conway's Game of Life within Conway's Game of Life.
@@nahco3994 it has been done
The top-down vs bottom-up approach is one of the reasons I love statistical mechanics. Understanding heat and entropy as an arrangement of objects given certain parameters seem like a simple and nonstraight forward way to describe heat. Yet as you slowly expand the system into the macroscale, many emergent properties arise.
9:50 She says while sitting on an Ikea chair (I have the same one in the same color!).
13:34 Impostor syndrome. I'm sure your ideas on the subject are very much worth listening to.
Conway's game of life -- brings back many fond memories. Entertaining intro into cellular automata. I like the connections you made to biology and recent developments in cellular automata.
Really underrated channel 🐱❤
Overrated

“This would completely revolutionize IKEA's furniture model.”
Truer words were never spoken. :D
Idk. 1. Supply materials and instructions to customer, 2. Customer assembles it themselves.
Sounds like complex behaviour arising from simple rules. jk
For years I have been following many similar youtube channels and absorbing in such content. This still blows my mind. Superb work you are doing.

No, we are miracles. In all the universes, we are in this one. Lucky huh ?
@@MrKelaher It isn't a miracle if this is the only universe we could have been in.

im glad this channel blew up finally, i love your personality, format and your content
Your channel is amazing, full stop. Thank you for everything you do.
This script was amazing! Things followed one after the other, the analogies were great, and the takeaway was thought-provoking. And to top it off, I learned a few solid facts too about the way nature works.
I'm so excited to have a video I can share with my friends about complex adaptive systems! Whenever I try to do it I end up sounding like a crazy person. Thank you so much!
haha yeah whenever someone asked me what this video was about I'd end up sounding like a crazy person and defeatedly say "just wait til the video is out..."
I've just discovered you a week ago and this is one my favorite channels at the moment :) Great job, really!
Awesome video. I love those philosophical questions towards the end.
Honestly, when I watch ur videos about more space stuff (like a year ago) I thought u had a bigger channel like may a million subs, but Idk why I thought so, may be because of the video quality 😆👍. So I feel u do deserve more than this... And it's good to see many responses to comment from u. Keep up the good work, and let ur dad know I 👏👌
I'll let him know! And thank you! The channel is growing, slowly but surely :)
@@upandatom yes the channel is growing.
But please maintain the genuine quality content that you present.
I really like your videos they present a natural approach towards things.
I hope I had teacher like you in high school :)
Don't dilute content to get more followers.
You have really good high quality educated fan following, don't compromise that to get more and more ....
You are a top-level presenter of complex information. This self-replication/nanotech episode was FANTASTIC!!!
Your paat videos have always been good, but this one is phenomenal! Wonderful way of presenting it, I felt engaged every moment!
This is so awesome Jade! Great job!
Love this video! And I feel it's a really good way to show how higher order can be emergent. I see SO many people conflating the idea of "Because entropy increases, all systems work towards chaos." and "Chaos = inability to become more complex."
.
Entropy isn't a "loss of energy." It is the leveling of energy gradients: something like, "as the cold side warms up, the hot side cools down until they are both the same temperature." No energy was lost, just its ability to be used because of lack of differentiation. If we think of information in its most elementary form, it can consist of just a single energy difference. And with that, we have one piece of information. But if no differences are there, no information can be given / attained. Let's say you have two energy states: 0 and 2. If you come across this system and its energy gradients are 0000, no information can be attained. If its gradients are 2222, still no information can be attained. But if it was at 0220, there are now obviously 2 gradients. As the energy in the system works to equalize the gradients, eventually, no information can exist in the system. Because 0220 will eventually become 1111 once everything evens out.
So the complexity isn't really affected. What IS affected, is the system's ability to hold onto information as the energy gradients are leveled out. However, given a system that has an energy source, (in this case, a computer and the electricity), then the system is no longer locally susceptible to the amount of entropy it would take to make the system lose information. This allows the formation of more complex information and actions from simple information. And voila! You have what we see in your video and in life!
I programmed this in the 70’s - one of my patterns produced a frog...
That was then, now it produces gay frogs.
some of the massive patterns are kinda jaw-droppingly awesome tho

@@mikedrop4421 lmao good one
I really enjoyed this video, as I have all of your videos! You obviously know a lot about math and science, plus you're fun to watch! Keep up the good work!
Excellent. There is real depth underneath the very approachable presenting style. I would expect that you are well placed to indeed come up with original ideas in this area and I look forward to seeing it.
Jade's is by far the most entertaining existential crisis I've ever witnessed.
The Mandelbrot set: A fractal universe from a simple equation . . .
This was an amazingly accessible explanation of a concept that has always seemed so abstract to me. Great job!
Just letting you know that I am nonetheless looking forward to seeing you talk about invention vs. discovery in/of maths and other sciences.
I am strongly convinced that I am not the only one, so please, make a video or two about the topic here on CZcams as well! Thanks for the quality and content of your videos!!
Jade: excellent video! What will the end of the universe, do for the “meaning” of what knowledge we will have accumulated? This is just a thought experiment, considering the value of what we learn . Similar to the question you asked here about the order of discovery.
"By exploring the idea of self-assembling materials and robots!"
Do you *want* grey goo? Because this is how we get grey goo... :D

This channel is incredible thanks. I learn from the videos and the perspective you shared at the end of this one is really inspiring. That was really cool.
This is one of the best videos that I have came across in CZcams. Great video, jade.👍
U inspire me to make stuff to understand concepts !
damn, I knew Australia was exotic but I didn't expect to see a Kangaroo in Jade's back garden!
This is your best video so far. I find myself going back to it multiple times.
Patterns reminded me of Mandelbrot set and fractals! Loved the Game of life! Amazing presentation as always!
I can imagine the horror of my house or the world getting taken over by self-replicating IKEA furniture.
Like Disney brooms. Oh the horror!
Where have you been!!! I've been waiting for you to update!!!
I've been working on this video :)
Yayyy miss you!! Hope to see more videos soon
The symmetry in this video is just as beautiful as the relationship shared between your intelligence and countenance.
First of all this is a very good video! A way of thinking of life that makes some sense to me. I got some answers to questions I wasn't even thinking about :) But the last part was the one that really caught my attention because I'm having some of the same questions and I don't really know where to start searching. So I'll definitely look forward to your next videos! Thank you for being so open and sharing your experience! I am rooting for you!

Yep
Insanely great! I myself have been studying up on all of these concepts and drawing very similar conclusions, so it's really wonderful that you're teaching this! Cellular automata, or at least the idea that complex structures can emerge from simple rules, appears everywhere! Something you didn't go into as much in the video (but briefly mentioned) is how schools of fish and flocks of birds are also great examples of complex shapes with their on characteristics forming from simpler ones! I definitely subscribed, and I hope to see more content like this!
This video made me start thinking about different possibilities I used to think about long time ago, thanks Jade
This sounds so familiar to my philosophy class. We got given this question at the start of the year and we have to write our essay on it
Sounds fascinating!
@@upandatomits very interesting how close physics and philosophy are. I mean in buddhism they have 4 states of being. A thing can have existence and non existence at the same time. A lot of their theory are very similar to the stuff found in quantum physics
@@queeny5613 as interesting as both physics and buddhism both are in their ideas, it is often a false equivalence to equate ideas in theology/philosophy and ideas in physics and as such one should be careful with it. The ability to see effects of quatum superposition is not something one can reasonably expect to be observable during the time of buddhism.
@@ShreshtJain no absolutely of course, there is no way to could be observed, I was just pointing out coincidental parallels in their thinking
@@queeny5613 yes it is really fascinating that sometimes starting from really different goals and in different ways, philosophy and physics do chance upon the same things. Sorry if the earlier reply appeared lowkey hostile, need to deal with a lot of attempts to basically handwave ancient indian mythos and religion into modern science in my day to day life as a person of indian origin studying physics.
2:18 that R.I.P. hurts. Quite a lot :/
:(
That was fascinating! Thank you. Keep it coming, I'll keep watching...
You are doing great, I hope you continue to make such great content. Love the game of life
That was a real intellectual treat for my inquisitive mind and actually much more than that, this kind of content keeps people like me motivated, in our path of discovering something new, always! Thank you very much. ☺
good luck!
Bacause of u physics become my fvt subject I got interest in physics
that's amazing! glad to hear :)
@@upandatom It is amazing. Sparking the interest of science in someone is an achievement that all educational You Tubers should strive for. Great job Jade!
Great video. The wait for your next video is always worthwhile. Perhaps you can tell us where the "blueprint" comes from in a later video.
Always waited for your new video!
Im here to tell you that im a great fan of your dad now...
i'll make sure he knows
All our scientific laws are simplified models of reality, and only an approximation of reality.
Like Newton had a rough model of gravity, Einstein had a completely different model of gravity which is more accurate. And then we have quantum gravity...
Since these are just approximations, it is absolutely possible to have a completely different models, approaching the same piece of reality from an entirely different ways. And all these very different models can provide a different view on the very same reality.
So yes, I could imagine having very different physics describing our reality, with similar precision.
But what would be the point of painting the same objective reality with a different set of colours?
@@triton62674 It might be a way of getting more easily to some new conclusions. There's a reason in math you often have several different, seemingly unrelated definitions for the same thing (which students then often have to prove are really equivalent).
triton62674 Because different models give you better predictions in different circumstances.
Wave model predicts photon behavior in some cases, particle model in other cases.
Newton model gives adequate predictions with simple math, relativity gives more precision with complicated math.
To have the perfect model for a system with N particles, you need a computer with N particles. So we need to cut corners to simplify it, but don’t lose too much precision. Different models cut different corners.
@@triton62674 Feynman had a few things to say on the topic czcams.com/video/NM-zWTU7X-k/video.html
Post-modern BS.
1. We don't have quantum gravity.
F=ma in quantum mechanics, general relativity, Newtonian mechanics, etc. All can be formulated as Lagrangians or Hamiltonians. You, in fact, cannot imagine other models with predictive power, there are people who spend their lives doing so, and all of them still agree on 300+ year old axioms, like F=ma. You clearly don't really understand how science works. Later models are extensions of earlier models, not replacements.
As usual, a very informative video :)
Hated physics and math in school...love it now with the efforts of all the great teachers on CZcams.

The way you explain a hard concept is inspiring . Great work .
Great video as usual. Keep up the good work.
Love how passionate you are about what you do!! It's contagious.
Great video, very interesting concepts to think of... Your channel is addictive, congrats!!
Your channel is SO underrated. Your videos are what got me interested in physics. Thank you for such amazing content.
I was just thinking about this, your way of teaching is so good !
thank you! I hope it helped your thought process :)
You clearly understand the subject well with how simply you are able to convey it. It's also refreshing to see a professional woman that makes no attempt to sell her material with low cut collars, layers of make up, etc.... In your case, though, Jade, you can't hide your natural elegance. Thank you for providing complex content in a simple enjoyable way.
Amazing video. Thank you for that and popularization of mathematical biology and fractals!
Great video. Thank you to you and your team if you have one.
I was searching about this from 1 month! Thank you.
I love your videos! They are super interesting and the topics you cover really fire up my curiosity
glad to hear!
I really love your more philosophical approach to things!! :)
Jade your Nebula pitch here is righteously compelling. You made it personal, from a place of honesty and humility.
Best teacher ever!!
I am enjoying each and every video.
I hope you get deserved recognition for your superv work!
I really enjoyed this video. Very impactful. Thank you for making this video
Jade your channel is just great. What I notice is you don't confine yourself to one area (although it seems physics is your thing). Instead, you seem to be interested in everything and want to synthesize and find connections between all areas from philosophy to physics to biology. All done with an endearing enthusiasm and wonder. And I like how you stress how you sometimes have struggled in the past to understand some concepts. I think it is exactly this wrestling with concepts that produces a better teacher. And you clearly are an excellent teacher. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic, as always - once again I was looking for a way of explaining the game of life and its significance to a friend, and once again you nailed it. You’ll be up there with Veritasium and Physics Girl soon enough 👍
This is an amazing video, you touched upon Science and it's consequences on humanity today, made me think quite a bit and it was quite philosophical too, which I absolutely loved!! Keep going and continue to upload more amazing videos like this in the future, Cheers!
Ok.. this is one of the most interesting videos I've ever watched. Thank you for making this and presenting it so well. For me you are now up in the top 10 channels on CZcams. RIP Dr. Conway, I remember I programmed his The Game of Life on a ZX Spectrum back in early 80's.
your best video yet. keep up the good work. You are talented, stay interesting, like this video was. Nice Job.
thanks, I'll do my best!
Terrific video! I really like the fact that you are always evolving as a science communicator and presenter. As usual, I am informed.
I love game of life. It always fascinated me and you've done a great job explaining it here
One of the best videos you have made, thank you.
Game of life was the first program I did in my masters parallel programming. C++ OMP and Cuda programming then outputting the runs to gifs... oh such good times.. always so exciting when I see another Up and Atom video!
Wow that's a really good and informative video!! Thank you so much!!
This is one of the best videos you have ever done. Congratulations. You are getting so good at this. As a physicist I found this fascinating and very deep.
thank you that means a lot :)
This video is actually phenomenal. It takes a question that everyone has probably wondered about at some point in time (i.e: how did life / complexity come about? could it have just "been built" on its own?) and gives it a satisfying answer. This must have taken a LOT of research, but more than that, a huge amount of alone thinking time to come to grips with such a far-reaching question. Amazing video! (And the ferris wheel at the start was a plus too :P)
Thank you so much! It did take a lot of alone time haha, mostly about how to connect the game to more concrete examples in reality.
Brilliant and clear exposition of a very complex world's vision. Tnx from Italy! 👍
The channel's best video yet. Impressive work.
This video was fascinating! Keep doing what you’re doing and you will have a huge positive effect on the science of the next generation. I am thankful the world has educators like you.
One of the first 'games' I played was the Game Of Life on my Sinclair ZX81 computer in 1981. It randomised the first generation and then the magic happened based on the rules mentioned. I still remember it vividly!
Thank you for another great video, Jade! I always enjoy the perspective you bring, and I’m looking forward to the Nebula video. So glad I’m already a Nebuler... Nebulizer? Nebulist? Anyway, I’m positive that your upcoming video will be interesting and compelling!
Nebulizer, I like that. Nebulon? Nebularooni? We'll make it work...
You're just amazing and lovely. Thanks for all the contents you bring to the table.
