  • Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, Tadashi will explore a diversity of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to medical devices and an ‘h-principle’. Much of the show consists of table-top demonstrations, which you can try later with friends and family.
    So, take a sheet of paper. . .
    Tadashi Tokieda is a professor of mathematics at Stanford. He grew up as a painter in Japan, became a classical philologist (not to be confused with philosopher) in France and, having earned a PhD in pure mathematics from Princeton, has been an applied mathematician in England and the US; all in all, he has lived in eight countries so far. Tadashi is very active in mathematical outreach, notably with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences.

    When he was talking about isometrics and the Miura Ori, I couldn't help but think about baby plants. When you watch grass grow (yes, you can watch grass grow too), there is an outer sheath that bulges, cracks down a seam, and it's fascinating to see how nature has packed its long, slender, almost full-size member into that tiny space: it's folded, like tiny little accordion squares. Ferns are also encase in unimaginably tiny geodesic curled patterns, palmetto leaves packed so tightly that you can scarcely imagine that inside that compact waffle of greenish gold, there are over a hundred perfectly straight leaves waiting to unfurl. I feel certain that Miura was outside sitting in front of a garden one day, staring at a lead coming of out its tightly packed chute. It's just really beautiful and intriguing. I LOVED this lecture--thank you so much!

      The same for moth and buterfly wings when they first emerge from their chrysalis. As I recall, they inflate their wings with a tiny amount of fluid. This transforms the wings from super compact and unrecogniseable to fully unfurled and quite rigid, complete with the necessary aerodynamic curvature.

      The only 'walking' plant I'm familiar with, Avena Fatua, proceeds across the ground as a seed on the basis of a folding pattern similar to the Miura Ori shown at 54:55.
      This shape folds and unfolds powered by changes in humidity, enabling the seed to 'walk' in order to find a good place to root.

      Far more interesting is to discover who created those folded parts so small in the first place. There are too many, 100s, of folds to have happened perfectly, without even one being off. Most people will look at this and say it all happened by chance mutations over millions of years' time. Really? No. What has then stopped the evolutionary process now? If the evolutionary hasn't stopped then we should see imperfections in these plants as they change into their next form. But we don't see this. Why not?

      @@murrygreenlaw6522 I'm inclined to agree with you but the usual response is that, human lifespans are but a blink, in evolutionary time - that all of recorded history of our species, is nothing more than the last few minutes of deep time.

      And not just one other language, since he dipped into Greek at points as well. (And probably another language or two when I wasn't paying close enough attention.)
      A chem prof at my local U went on sabbatical for 4 months, to guest at a lab in Germany and then Italy. Now, he was Polish and so already spoke a smattering of eastern European languages to begin with, but in that 4 months he went from nothing to being able to function in a lab in both of those languages. Plus, he was there to participate in some research so it's not like all he did was study language. Wild!

    What a wonderful, entertaining and educational lecture. A true joy.
    I idly noticed towards the end that his attire was somewhat crumpled, and several thoughts went through my mind. First, I found it bizarrely reassuring that professors like this still exist today, a beautiful mind not caring so much about the external packaging. Next, I wondered why, despite that, someone wouldn't make an extra effort for a special invitational lecture anyway. If traveling all day why wouldn't someone just pack an ironed shirt to change into just before the lecture?
    Then I realized that it was the perfect natural instantiation of everything that he'd just spent an hour telling us about, and all was well with the world.

    I remember as a four year old my father came home with a great big fish and when I asked where he brought it, he told me in a little box. Since then my mind began churning. I found crushed hosepipes, accordeons, smocked dresses, yards of vaporous dress material twisted into a bodice and flowing skirt, and proteins folding in fantastic ways.

    Beautifully done. It surprised me, though, that he didn't mention why the symbol for the Poisson ratio is so perfect. Many native speakers of English don't know any other language, and may not know that the name Poisson is the French word for 'fish'. So the alpha with the dot is a visual representation of a fish, of a Poisson.

    a very good demonstration of geometry as a set of behaviors of bodies of spacetime. this is indeed very synergetic in nature. however, synergetics would not call Origami 2.5 dimensional because it would not abstract the sheet of paper (a flat body) into a 'purely two dimensional plane'.
    to quote synergetics directly:
    " 966.12 In synergetics, all experience is identified as, a priori, unalterably four- dimensional. We do not have to explain how Universe began converting chaos to a "building block" and therefrom simplex to complex. In synergetics Universe is eternal. Universe is a complex of omni-interaccommodative principles. Universe is a priori orderly and complexedly integral. We do not need imaginary, nonexistent, inconceivable points, lines, and planes, out of which non-sensible nothingness to inventively build reality. Reality is a priori Universe. What we speak of geometrically as having been vaguely identified in early experience as "specks" or dots or points has no reality. A point in synergetics is a tetrahedron in its vector-equilibrium, zero-volume state, but too small for visible recognition of its conformation. A line is a tetrahedron of macro altitude and micro base. A plane is a tetrahedron of macro base and micro altitude. Points are real, conceptual, experienceable visually and mentally, as are lines and planes.
    966.20 Tetrahedron as Fourth-Dimension Model: Since the outset of humanity's preoccupation exclusively with the XYZ coordinate system, mathematicians have been accustomed to figuring the area of a triangle as a product of the base and one-half its perpendicular altitude. And the volume of the tetrahedron is arrived at by multiplying the area of the base triangle by one-third of its perpendicular altitude. But the tetrahedron has four uniquely symmetrical enclosing planes, and its dimensions may be arrived at by the use of perpendicular heights above any one of its four possible bases. That's what the fourth-dimension system is: it is produced by the angular and size data arrived at by measuring the four perpendicular distances between the tetrahedral centers of volume and the centers of area of the four faces of the tetrahedron."

    the Poisson effect described here is an expression of the generalized principle of precession, as described by synergetics and the negative ratio behavior strongly resembled the so called Jitterbug transformation, one of the most essential wave propagation patterns within spacetime.
    thank you for the fabulous lecture🙏

    This has so many applicable applications in medicine, space exploration, gravity, etc...There has to some connection between folding and fractals ( 46:00 )

    Really I appreciate how the art in case of creation of Origamy gives the most 3D shapes,can anyone think of all dimension and equivalent angular cut so that a 3D may appear yields something unknown,while everything stops,the theorems and riders and the graphics work yielding lot.

    5:44, put perpendicular to one of leg of angle intersecting other leg,so use inverse trignometry to find angle,as we have ruler, usetrig to find opposite side of 1/3rd angle, no need of compass : )

    Black holes show us the poisson ratio when a galaxy surrounds it and we can see the negative poisson ratio of the warping of space by the layout of the stars.

    This is a really compelling lecture, but I couldn't help but perpetually wonder "Who hosted this lecture," and also "Who sponsored this lecture?" I wish there were some kind of jarring blue banner for the entire video which took up approximately 1/6th of the screen but with only approximately 1/10th of that space actually being used to answer those questions. That would be really helpful and not at all distracting, and I'm sure the bright blue light wouldn't cause any weird brightness issues while I'm trying to watch before bed at night.

    i am slightly dubious of the map folding with negative poisson ratio, since reducing the x dimension to say 10% and the y dimension doing the same *also* makes the z (up out of the plane of the paper) dimension increase from the thickness of the paper (maybe 0.1mm?) to multiple centimeters (50mm maybe, for 500x increase but definitely over 100x and possibly up to 1000x) so would this not result in a positive poisson ratio in 3d space? i noticed that later on he makes a hand-wavy argument (unproven but intuitively compelling) that you can always constrain to a maximum thickness epsilon in 3d and can make epsilon as small as you like. since this results in smaller macroscopic features, in the physical world there is an eventual limit (individual wood fiber scale? cellulose molecule scale? atomic scale?) even though mathematically you can go infinitesimal? i get that these are toy models and simplifications, but i'm not convinced you can make a physical membrane embedded in 3d space with negative poisson ratio that is isotropic. i would have liked to know more about the 2.5 dimensions he alluded to, which sounds like hausdorff fractal dimension maybe? will need to read more about this... great lecture and awesome lecturer anyway ;)

    I wonder if Earwig wings are mathematically impossible to get stuck, folded many times. love the knots in flat paper. Became fascinated with Knots since a vertasium, Is sphere a 3d unknot.can you tie a knot into a sphere. Just made the paper hole coaster trick. Some things you have to feel. I wonder if thats why origami flourismed. Can you start an origami with a knotted plane.. Beauty is all around. Inspiring and absorbing . UMIST.

    The trick with the stent origami proposed would then be how to pull it out since pulling causes expansion and pushing sends it deeper.. not so easy.

    • @ObviousLump
      @ObviousLump Před 10 měsíci +1

      think it's something along these lines:
      we aim to construct a regular n-gon
      write n = m * 2^k, where m is odd
      construct a regular m-gon using tadashi's method
      now produce our n-gon by iteratively doubling the sides like so:
      take the perpendicular bisector of all of the sides of the n-gon, the point where they intersect is the centre
      draw a circle with the same radius (dist. from centre to vertex) and centre as the polygon
      the places where the circle intersects the bisectors are new vertices
      (it's best to draw that out to understand it)
