this entire series is so underviewed. this playlist you made here is like a work of art
wow, thanks for the kind words. I have more planned very soon
Without exaggeration, this series was the best thing I have ever found on CZcams. Keep it up!
Agreed, but the amount of views is devastating in comparison to some bullshit on CZcams 😟
@@StefanTheFink stay tuned for a new series. maybe that one will make the difference
Art of the Problem should be a TV show.
After years and years, I keep coming to this video and still see that It is sadly underrated. This is a true gem. So much to think about. Thank you for making It so comprehensible for everyone.
super cool to hear you come back to it
This is the only 15 part series that I've ever watched on CZcams and OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Huge Appreciation for the immense amount of work that must have gone into making something like this! Awesome Job!
Thank you kindly. It's cool to hear you watched the whole thing. It was a long/fast 1.5 years making this
Art of the Problem WoW! Thank you for doing such a great job!
This is by far the best series I have seen on CZcams. Thank you for making this.
amazing to hear
I really enjoyed this series! Very informative and entertaining at the same time.
Many thanks to the creators of this series. You have helped me to connect the dots and I am a better person for it. Mission accomplished.
thrilled people are still finding and watching this series. thank you stephen
You guys are doing great work. Please keep continuing making such insightful videos.
Plus love your voice!
More on the way, thanks for the support
your channel is amazing! The special balance between technical, historical and artistic!
thanks stay tuned for more
The most informational series on CZcams!
Awesome to hear you watched the whole thing.
Great ending to this topic. I wish lecturers could make this topic as interesting and easy as you did.
Glad you enjoyed this entire series. Stay tuned for an episode on AI. I was inspired to make this channel after years of disappointment with lectures I suffered through.
Art of the Problem well thanks to these I didn't miss anything in the lectures I didn't go to. And yes, I understand your disappointment, even though I'm only in uni for 3 months now
I really enjoyed this series. I can see this video series took a while to make but it is fantastic at explaining the history and some very abstract ideas I have been trying to get to grips with for a long time. I really hope that you keep making videos on interesting topics like this
This series is amazing! Thank you so much. I hope that you keep up the good work :)
I love how were connecting sound and senses to data. The random babbling is very amazing, they have the perfect encryption!
:)))
This channel is simply extraordinary.
Outstanding! And I can't wait to see what's next for Art of the Problem!
I have rewatched most of your videos you have an outstanding ability to connect between the sciences.
wonderful to hear!
An absolute work of art!
So so happy to see you went through this whole series. I'm glad it's holding up over time as it was a total work of love
Uncommonly beautiful series. Many thanks!
great to hear feedback from someone who watched the whole series, much appreciated
Awesome Series..!, Please preserve the correct understanding of science and history like this..., and I sincerely request you to keep going..!
thank you for the kind words, please consider supporting this channel! www.patreon.com/artoftheproblem
LOVEDLOVEDLOVED this series. I happened to notice you were "having a baby" a while ago, and suddenly there's a baby in this video...coincidence? I think NOT!
Thoroughly engaging and informative series. Loved it!!
+Krishanu Konar Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the ride
sure did!!
and subscribed ^_^
There is a problem with this approach, the assumption that an extraterrestrial intelligence will be communicating over electromagnetic waves without using any sort of modulation. This approach works only if the extraterrestrial language directly maps to the em frequencies without any sort of encoding or modulation.
Also encryption
Your Channel is really really good! every time I watch it I get my mind blown
love to hear it thanks, more will come soon
What an awsome series! Thank you!
thanks for the feedback glad to hear it, working on new stuff now
This was really informational. I learned muck, Thank you :D
lovely series! what's next?
BEAUTIFUL. Truly beautiful.
Communicating this To u in a Language foreign to me, through an intricate web network and I hope it finds you well.
EVERYONE should watch this series.
thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot
amazing series.'
This was fantastic
So if we rule out noise by looking for a nice variation of, well, the (occurrence) frequency of (spectrum) frequencies, how do we rule this out from noise which follows a nice probability distribution curve, but is still truly random?
I assume this has to do with analyzing the sequence of the changing frequencies, but I can't fully relate the two concepts as you have explained them.
Also, how can we be sure that the trend we see on the graph @ 7:13 will be detectable to us? We can clearly see that humans have higher information entropy than dolphins, because it decreases more slowly as entropic order increases. What if an intelligent life is so succinct that their information entropy doesn't decrease fast enough for us to detect it? Is that possible?
Anyway, great series! I really enjoyed it.
Great one. first time i hear about these studies and that SETI relies on them :D
I liked the series. Did you guys make it yourselves? It looks very very professional...
So if alien life is using data compression (probability -> 1) Ziph's law will not be evident in their communications.
what's the privated video that comes next in the playlist?
That was just a call out to the Patreon page. (stay tuned for many more videos in the next few months)
Hats off :)
amazing !
Booker-superstar!
I never could figure out why my best friend and I could finish each other's sandwiches so easy
What do you think of those who reject the transmission metaphor? (Luhmann, Baecker and Varela)
can you send me something to read, i'm not familiar?
@@ArtOfTheProblem Ok, I'll send it to your e-mail
thanks britjcruise @ gmail@@briang7699
Automatic +1 for Zipf's law.
Have you seen an ExtraTerrestrial? If so, there is no point in saying anything because (1) people will think you are a psycho, maybe even yourself will think so, and (2) you will never be heard from again because of either - the government or the mothership. I say this not from experience (??? not that I can tell you anyway), but from sheer logic. Haha LOL
But can't the redundancy code also be corrupte by noise?? and if so, wouldn't then the probability of having errors due to noise be even higher?
+Fernando Gonzalez did you check out error correction codes? czcams.com/video/cBBTWcHkVVY/video.html
As it's been said, we're simply pattern seeking beings..we all have the same 24, optimize your resources, time and energy, and know that especially timekeepers, we are all servants to time, life, this body at-least for its the only place where we can live.
IIRC Shannon and Weaver formulated a basic theoretical machine in their paper that encoded a signal and transmitted it, and the signal plus noise would be received and decoded by a receiver. Insofar as communication with aliens might be concerned, Shannon has no account of how person's encoders and decoders actually develop. This is of little concern to the control engineer like Shannon, who can simply manufacture the right decoders and encoders, but autonomous biological processes are a different story. I know the solution postulated by Mackie has been a sort of negative feedback process of negotiation to adjust ones encoders/decoders, and the results of human/dolphin language studies are corroborated by universal grammar, but it's likely that initial contact will be highly unintelligible to our decoders, and we have reason to suspect that, despite universal grammar, we may never have any notion of alien semantics via the indeterminacy of translation. We may only be able to know IF anyone is talking, but not what they're saying.
Doyle and who?
What are the refrences?
I need them.
Than you.

Art of the Problem Thanks!
Babies utter every possible phoneme at first, and then ‘die’ into their native language, and eliminate the phonemes that specific language does not use. This is why when people learn languages later in life they will carry a distinct accent. Like how asians have trouble pronouncing the letter ‘R’ because that is just a phoneme that isn’t used in asian languages.
If Darwin is correct both Dolphins and Humans share a common ancestor and thus have a similar brain architecture. Unsurprisingly they operate with similar communication patterns. It’s like finding similar behavior between an ARM cpu and an x86 cpu. They have evolved differently from basic VonNumen architecture . An extraterrestrial intelligence would share no common ancestry with humans and dolphins Therefore the underlying assumptions of extraterrestrial communication is flawed.
