  • Simple rules of geometry meant that 5-fold symmetry was impossible as were crystals without a periodic structure. This turns out to be wrong. Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring a portion of this video. Click here to start using LastPass: ve42.co/LPs

Taught kids tables by using patterns, and colouring them. One class of mine shocked an OFSTED inspector because around half of the kids said maths was their favourite subject..... all because of pattern in maths.

Some people focus on how in the multiverse there could be wildly different things than we're used to, but there could also be an almost identical replica, so infinitely near perfect that it'd be impossible to ever know the difference.

      Only diffs with your teacher are the animations and video edition.
      You should ask your teacher to animate things and edit in real time life.

      Hey Cary! You should also check out jan Misali's video on the topic of all the regular polyhedra, including the Kepler-Poinsot solids, if you haven't already. He's in incredibly talented content creator that also does conlangs.

      I agree, a passionate teacher is so important, because most communication is non-verbal. I wonder if a lot of the modern anti-intellectualism conspiracy theories are due to kids turning off in science because of poor science teachers.

  • @dsw1111
    @dsw1111 Před 11 měsíci

    Very interesting and thorough video. I have a question - when adding tiles to the pattern, some tiles are fully determined by what is present and some are choices. What fraction of tiles do you get to make a choice. Or does this not scale with area (meaning a constant proportion) but with linear pattern size (meaning that the larger the pattern the fewer the choices) or with some fractional power of the linear size?
