I always find it interesting that there are more subdivisions down than we have doublings up. the planck length is at 226, where the observable universe ends at 184
Yeah, we are in the larger part of the middle of everything.
Well I mean it's based off a piece of paper so that doesn't really mean much tbh
proportionally, our cells are in the middle
@@zanorok5896 sure it does; it means that on a log scale from planck length to observable universe, a piece of paper is on the larger half of that scale. Many people might find that surprising, as the person who commented that did.

Grey: (transcends reality)
CHIM
there is no reality to transend for there is nothing. in the smallest virtues of reality we see nothing and from the farthest reaches beyond our comprehension, there is nothing.
@Luís Andrade That is true! our current understanding of nothing is the lack of existence there is if there is a theoretical measurement of nothing and emptiness then that nothing becomes an ever-expanding ball of something in the distance of what we perceive as the reaches that our lights can't even see. So therefore in nothing, there is always the possibility of something so something will always exist in our existence.
doctor: what you see in this picture
Grey: a sheet of paper, to be exact a metric paper on which is everything that is made of nothing...
@@Shaymin0 Why do you assume that in nothing is always the possibility of something, maybe there is true nothing but you can't comprehend it?
Love the re-use of "Illusion of something solid" at two completely different scales: A4 x 2^(-76) and 2^140
And "the reality of x, it is made of mostly nothing."
Man really explained the entire universe and nothingness with a piece of A4 paper.

The largest metric: here is nothing that is actually everything
Also, mostly nothing.

A blank sheet of paper has always been inspiring, but it takes a certain kind of mind to see it in a different way.
The speed of light being described as heartbreakingly slow really speaks to me. There is so much cool stuff in the universe, but even at the fastest conceivable speed, almost all of it will forever be out of range.

Anyways.
If you didn't expect him to go the other way, idk what to tell you
the crisis only got worse
"You can only fold a sheet of paper in half 6 times. No more than that."
CGP Grey: ...and now we're at the Planck length.
A perfect example between the difference between practical and theoretical mathematics.
True, though you could also make the argument he cuts them in half, which is - as docincredible remarks - theoretically (near) infinitely possible.
I just folded it 7 times
sure it doesn't have its ratio anymore, but still
The world record is twelve. Its a myth that the size and thickness don’t matter.
@@definitelynotjustasquirrel8319 Exactly, its just that halving the thickness only gives you one more fold, and a paper is so thin that its hard to make it thin enough to fold it many more times.
If you make it larger you can do it, but still, if its to thin it will break instead of fold, so its a matter of physics and material.
I think aluminium foil should be foldable more times since its thinner than most paper but I have not tried it.
Just came here to learn something about metric paper. Now I am having an existential crisis, thinking about reality pixels and the endless void.
Yeah, and that everything we experience is mostly nothing with a very thin cloud of things that barely even exist masquerading as something.
A4/2^64 could also just be called A68. Not a very common paper size, but well defined.
Normal people: "Hey, could you hand me a sheet of paper?"

How can a piece of paper give me stress I never felt befor
Epic and philisophical
No such thing as nothingness, please drop this facile cynical nihilism mindset.
yeah about that i still have a question nobody can answer: Why is i? why is us? why is existence?
I came here for light entertainment.
I left with an existential crisis.
yep
You need not fear an existential crisis such as this. Personally, I find it almost more freeing that we may be utterly insignificant in the scale of the universe, observable or otherwise. I think it allows us to set our own limits, our own expectations, rather than trying to find some sort of universal expectation of what should be.
Well, there is mostly nothing to worry about.
Lol
Part of me agrees with you but the other part is left infinitely hopeful.
All hail A4, all hail the metric system!
Seriously though. I don't know if this video is meant to be poetic or an existentialist piece, but I love it, for sure.
I think Grey went insane during quarantine, this scares me, and I don’t get scared unless it’s something like this

This is CGP Grey, the guy who became fixated with hexagons for a while, and who went on a crusade to find out who owns Staton Island.

Yo Mama!
I read this comment before and after watching the video. It didn't make sense before, but boy did it hit hard after.
This video is very powerful for understanding everything we are as far as scaling goes, but also just goes to show how our own scale, where we live and observe, is really the most important to us because it fits us. The rest of this stuff we know exists, but will never truly observe or understand, at least for a very long time. The things on our scale are explained with our communication, using the senses that are tuned for this level of understanding. Look what we’ve done with the scale we’ve been given, the scale we are bound to. We have limits, but do we really know where they are? The limits haven’t stopped our own expansion of understanding, and unlike a lot of other levels, our scale is full of life, compared to the vast nothingness on both ends. If nothing matters on both ends where nothing happens, I wanna stay where things do happen and I can bring myself to comprehend, but I think that’s more easily said, and I’m probably pretty ignorant compared to what things could be but I just wanna say to those who are having existential crises that it’s not a concern and will never be a concern, in our lifetime. And if it is we can cross that bridge when we get to it.
I have never sent such small or such large paper letters.
But an A4 letter folded twice fits nicely in a C6 envelope.
Because A4 paper is folded twice, it is A6 size.

The real problem is when you fold a sheet of paper, you halve it's length but you double it's thickness, so folding it 2^100 times would give it a spike with almost zero "lengh" and unimaginable "thickness" of ~2^98 meters - you would need a very thick folder :)

I know I'll never be able to go explore space like Star Trek or Mass Effect, but that's why it brings me peace to know that I might as well enjoy my time here, pondering and wondering and contemplating, thinking that somewhere out there there might be a similar being possibly pondering the same thing I am.
