I disagree with this video. The most efficient way decrease the surface area to volume ratio is to increase the size of the shape rather than change it to a hexagon. For shapes of the same size, however, the hexagon would be the best shape to use, but I do not see why the bees don’t just make their holes bigger
@@chieuleyang6768 Each hexagonal cell contains an egg which develops into larvae, which in turn spins a cocoon and pupates into a bee, all within the cell. So making the cells any bigger than necessary for that purpose would be wasteful.
And thus one of my biggest neurodivergent hyper-fixations was born. Now I look for hexagons everywhere I go, every day.

Apparently the 'No, don't touch that' when Grey was talking about the Ice9 is a reference to the book Cat's Cradle. From what I found online..
"In Kurt Vonnegut’s 1963 novel Cat’s Cradle, a central plot element is called ice-nine. The substance, created in a lab, was made up of familiar H2O molecules, but they were locked in a novel crystalline structure that froze solid at room temperature. Because ice-nine crystals could spontaneously convert normal water into more ice-nine, the material was dangerous-just licking it would cause all the water in a person’s body to freeze solid. At the end of the book, a piece of ice-nine is accidentally knocked into the ocean, causing all of the Earth’s water to freeze and ending nearly all life on the planet in an instant."
Woah"0
From what I read (about 5 minutes of google/wikipedia reading), Ice 9 (or Ice IX) is a real ice structure, but in real life it's nothing like the novel and is pretty similar to regular ice. Feel free to correct me
@@Racoonma392 I figured it was a reference to the metal band Ice Nine Kills

hexagon is the bestagon
I think that the honor should go to the triangle for the long game. Somehow the triangle has been integrated so much into our math systems, that for how much we rave about hexagons, we know more about triangles.
In diamonds, their molecular structure is based on squares, which causes it to be extremely hard, even to the point that it is considered the hardest material ever, but there was actually a material found from a meteorite called Q-carbon that, while extremely similar to diamond, is actually even harder than diamond. Why? Because instead of having their molecular structure based on squares, Q-carbon’s molecular structure based on, you guessed it, *hexagons*
*Hexagons are the Bestagons*
This is actually just an audio clip of Grey ranting to Civilizations 4 about how they should use hexagonal tiles instead of square tiles so Grey can get the most nearby resources per city. They listened and Civ 5 has hexagonal tiles. Years later, Grey decides to animate it.

But anyways, if you'd be brave enough to plan on getting out, you should consider that squares are easier to mathematically organize and calculate overall, not to mention that hexagons are the definition of inefficient when attempting to convert into and using as a 3d polygon, as opposed to cubes.

@@foxelfire Pfah squares are infinitely divisible and the repitition of the pattern is exactly it's weakness. The lines are the source of strength but the square pattern aligns the weakest lines alternating with the strongest lines.
The square pattern also propagate forces along the lines, never dampening the forces until the squares bend enough to cease to be squares, unlike the hexagon that divides the forces in two again and again.

This is the best CGP Grey video. +1 for the Vonnegut reference
there’s a counter argument for octagons in other situations…
but hexagons are the bestagons.
2:43 Fun fact: Bees actually use circles, however when the wax is still soft, nature forms them into hexagons.
so nature literally forces circles out of the way in order to make room for the bestagons
yeah, and if you take a circles diameter, you can mark 6 marks around that circle, then connect those points, and you get a hexagon. Im not sure, but im pretty sure its also the same length as a circle, just more compact, that could be wrong though.
@@rosibalisong4403 Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean, but you can do that with any polygonal shape… if you evenly space four marks around the outside of a circle and connect them, for example, you have a square, and the diagonal length of that square is the diameter of the circle. You can make three marks anywhere on the perimeter of the circle and draw a triangle, and you can use that triangle to recreate the circle. Etc.
Even is that true how the hell is been hexa why hexa?
