I think I have an application; in metals the atoms are stacked this way! You should talk to a quantum physicist specialised in metals. :)

@ergohack yet quantum physicists use square wells with infinite thick walls to understand quantum behaviour -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_box

Already seen Henry Segerman's video and left a comment there. :) Fantastic to see this explained in great detail and crossing my fingers for that part two. I really like the map projection. Instead of Antarctica, you can take your home location as the centre of the map and your homeland will then be the least distorted country on the map.

@Vihart will love this episode :)

I am bothered by the rectangle boxes being cut off the wrong way somehow... The spiral was made over the surface of the boxes and I think the spiral should instead follow the diagonal of the box's interior (A^2 + B^2 +C^2 = D^2) and therefore should spiral inwards somewhere in the interior and not end up at the surface of the initial box.... hmmmm.... 🤔

@andrewkepert923 I have seen the latest Crescent Rolls one a couple of days ago, yes. :) Not sure if that's the edible cyclides one you mean though...?

Merry holidays, Buckard, Andrew, and everybody else who reads this! :)

Merry Christmas, Burkard and company! :)

@Mathologer , are you sure? If you follow the 3 dimensional diagonal of the box (instead of the 2 dimensional diagonal of the box's surface), then there should only be one option left to create a new box to cut out of the rectangular box, because those 3D diagonals have to connect subsequentially. If you pause the video at 19:00, then you can follow the 3D diagonal from box to box, starting with the: Yellow box, the diagonal starts in the far right bottom corner and goes to the far left top corner, which connects to the -> Green box, at the far top hind corner, whose 3D diagonal connects to the far bottom front corner, which connects to the -> Purple box, at the far left bottom corner, whose 3D diagonal connects to the far right top corner, which connects to the -> Red box, at the far right bottom corner, whose 3D diagonal connects to the far left top corner, which does not connect to the -> Blue box, because the 2D diagonals of the box's surface for the "folded golden spiral" were followed, which I seriously doubt is correct, since every odd quarter circle is contained within a rectangle and not a square like in the 2D golden spiral of the left image at frame 20:45 of the video... There should only be one 3D golden spiral within these boxes and I bet Freya Holmer ( @acegikmo ) can make a great visualisation out of it with her Bezier splines https://youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds in unity. :)

@andrewkepert923 kk, Vi Hart also made other edible math videos with cyclide shaped food, like string beans, hence my confusion. :)

My condolences and thank you for sharing this, I had been looking for this information myself and failed to find it.

@Mathologer you probably already know this with your German accent, but just in case: "Freek" is pronounced as "Frake" and rhymes with "Lake". Please don't mispronounce the Dutch name "Freek" as "Freak", this would be very wrong.

Hmm, is -1/12 also a directrix or focus?

Sorry for sidetracking you from your monster-video with my heptagram question, the resulting heptagram videos were fascinating to say the least. :) Healthy new year wishes to you and the company you keep, Burkard!

I tried to search for F. J. M. Barning's first name in the Dutch language, but no result. :( Also tried Dutch common names like Frank, Frits, Fred, Ferdinand and see if I hit upon something, but still nothing... sorry.

Made it to the end, so a comment for the algorithm. You are getting close to obtaining the Golden YouTube Button... :)

@Mathologer probably YouTube using the carrot on a stick method on you... keep up the good work though, the Talmudic bankruptcy problem was fascinating!
