  1. For the bubbles after pouring, you might have better luck using a small torch (eg. a creme brulee torch) and very quickly sweeping over the surface. Be careful not to hold in any one spot for any amount of time. This is what artists who do acrylic pouring do, and it seems to work really well. Otherwise, it looks like a great job! Well done :)

  2. This is probably the best example I've seen of this philosophy taken to its obvious conclusions.

  3.  @Kirmeins  Yeah, thing is that DM is so vast that it is really easy to set up a course that doesn't touch on any of this material. The DM course I took was like this... introduction to game theory, a little combinatorics and cryptography, coin weighing problems, stuff like that. But I think the important thing is the ability to get students interested in the material, and then they go looking for other courses that cover it.

  4. This is what I've been looking for.

  5.  @rayopeongo  my guess is because it was "built in a year and not properly tested" nonsense. Also, notice they've gone silent.

  6.  @GamesFromSpace  yes, I forgot to mention heat guns. 🤷‍♂️

  7.  @Kirmeins  even if you're only studying mathematics, you won't really hear Gödel's name until final year of undergraduate study at the earliest, unless you do an awful lot of advanced reading. Hilbert, on the other hand, has his name scattered throughout undergraduate and graduate topics in mathematics and physics. Gödel's work is considered fairly esoteric and difficult, while Hilbert is more spread out. So it's not surprising that you wouldn't have heard of Gödel if you haven't touched on foundations of maths.

  8. Thanks for this video! This helped me to understand what may have been going on with my car battery before I had it replaced. And the chemistry explanation was good, without having to go into the REDOX half-reactions 😀

  9.  Coccocoa's Helper  if it takes 30 years minimum for you to trust a vaccine you will have to wait a lot longer than 2-5 years. I also think you need to look up the difference between "incentive" and "propaganda".

  10. Congratulations! You deserve it! You're well on your way to being a producer of great math and science exposition videos. Very happy for you 😊

  11. You are welcome to think that, of course. No instructor reaches every student the same way. There are a lot of people who love Dr. Strang, and probably a lot of people who don't. I'd suggest if you don't like his teaching style, don't watch the videos.

  12.  @bland9876  It's not that I don't believe you. It's that I don't care. Cortana is garbage. Garbage name for garbage implementation. Besides, I mostly use Linux so "cortona" [sic] is as useless as Siri or anything else.

  13.  @rayopeongo  not to mention that this vaccine had more scientists working on it at the same time than any other vaccine in history. Probably not even HIV has had this much scrutiny! People literally dropped whatever they were working on to help with developing COVID vaccines. So if people ask how it was done so fast, that's a big part of it. Also the super-mega-powerful computers we have now that weren't available even 20 years ago.

  15. Okay... you really need to incorporate pauses into your narration. This moves far too fast for anyone to actually absorb anything without pausing, but if you pause it, you have to go back because it cuts off more of your explanation. Think about how you would speak in person. When going through the circle-vs-rectangle argument, you turn it into a continuous stream of narration. You would never speak like this in person. You would have pauses. Also, it really feels like you mumble a bit and aren't speaking very clearly. Aside from this, the content is very good, and your explanations are quite helpful. The animations are great and even though it can be a little jerky at time it is much more entertaining to watch than chalk on a board.

  16. Why the scare quotes on _bigger_? It is fairly easy to show that the set of real numbers is in fact larger than the set of integers. In fact he did just that in this video.

  18. The other thing that bothers me is when people claim that something is "proven" by Science. Science doesn't actually deal in proof. Instead, science deals in evidence. Atomic theory and, more generally, physics, contains evidence for the existence of atoms and subatomic particles. Very STRONG evidence. But it does not and cannot prove their existence. The fact that we can do chemistry at all is indeed incontrovertible evidence that atomic theory (in its current form) is correct. But atomic theory (as well as thermodynamics and quantum mechanics) works to explain chemistry. Probably one of my most shocking realizations was when I worked with a Ph.D. in microbiology. He was incredulous when I suggested that science does not deal in proof, then asking "then what does it deal in?" It is astonishing to me that someone with a Ph.D. would not have at least a rudimentary understanding of the philosophy of science. Yet here we are.

  20. I'm curious about your take on colour calibration for computer screens.

  21.  @shoam2103  Definitely. Mathematical foundations are not for the faint of heart, but when presented in this way it can become quite accessible. You don't need to be able to DO the math here in order to appreciate it or even talk about it. I haven't watched very much of this channel, and I'm going to have to remedy that.

  23.  @AWellRestedDog  most welcome. I am sorry if it came off as harsh. Thats not the intent at all. I really do like the content and the style. And now that I actually see your username, the dogs make more sense. One thought for them, too: perhaps try altering your voice slightly when you're speaking for the dogs. They would certainly have a different voice from you, and it would be easier to differentiate (pun intended!) them from the rest of the speech. Over all I would say you're on the right track. Try to be mindful of some of these things (it won't all come at once) and I think you'll notice a remarkable difference. Please do keep working on creating videos! 😃
    2
  24.  @AWellRestedDog  also, for the record, I'm glad to see someone else putting this content out. I thought of Brassoud's book immediately on seeing the title of the video, and was not disappointed. Kudos also on the interview segment. That was a really nice touch. I wanted to make sure you had some positive feedback from me also, so you know I wasn't only critical of the video. I really did enjoy it ☺️

  25. He claims that no party in Canada supports dismantling universal health care, but here in Alberta our government (if you can call it that) picks fights with doctors, forces them to close up their practice, and gives the remaining money and contracts to corporate health "care". Conservatives in Canada have been fighting socialized health care for decades. They're just gagging to give that money to their corporate bedfellows and convert our system completely to an American style pay-to-live kleptocracy.

  28. I totally agree. Surprised to see only praise on here and no other constructive feedback. Praise is well deserved, but there are certainly areas or parts that can be improved.

  30. I seriously wonder if you took a bet to see just how fast you can speak, and how incomprehensible you can be. Because this was very much frustrating to watch. I don't know who your audience is---I think even androids from the year 3720 would have trouble decyphering what you're saying here without slowing it down to 10%. I sincerely hope you don't speak like this with your friends and family.

  34.  @lancethrustworthy  Grammar is an arbitrary set of rules that help people communicate. Learning grammar may be useful to many, but it is possible to have meaningful communication without "proper" grammar. If you communicate with literally anyone at all you will find this to be true. Not a single person will adhere exactly to all grammatical rules.

  35. I do understand what you're saying with the "Only use chemicals in ways they're meant to be used" statement, but honestly if we did that most innovation, invention, and exploration would grind to a halt.

  42.  @dennispetrov9628  that is a good question. By adding 1 to one digit of each number, this new number will differ from each of the others in one and only one decimal place. Have another careful watch of that segment. I was at first wondering the same thing, but then got it. He does in fact state just what I wrote here. And because this newly constructed number differs from all others, it is not in the list of real numbers. Therefore the list is incomplete and you cannot in fact create such a list.

  43.  @agushernandezquiroga9064  okay, that makes sense. Thanks 😊

  44.  @dennispetrov9628  absolutely. I agree with you. None of this stuff is easy and it is good to sit with it a while and mull it around. I also don't know nearly as much as some others on here. As for the game of meanings, I totally get your meaning (pun intended). For me, though, I have never taken issue with different sizes of infinity. I do understand where people might get hung up, but in my mind it is not unreasonable to say one infinite set is bigger than another infinite set. Perhaps this means I haven't truly understood what's going on, and that's possible. But I think density of numbers and cardinality (size) are two different concepts in math. Someone else on here can probably comment on that, as I'll have to do some more reading and study to get there.

  54. Please stop with the bloody shaky handi-cam. Yes, it is nice that you're able to use your phone to video this stuff, but the shaky-cam is nauseating to watch, and it almost made me stop the video. Good thing you had an interesting topic.

  57. This is a phenomenal video! Thanks so much! I would happily watch another 30 or 60 minutes of you talking about and explaining this stuff. Anyone who says mathematics foundations and philosophy of mathematics are dry and boring just hasn't been exposed to it in the right way.

  63.  @andrewcostanza6802  the only problem I have with the vacuum chamber is the size. Unless the plan is to de-gas the paint solution before pouring, you'd need a rather large chamber to hold that piece.

  64.  @tiagotiagot  you shouldn't be holding the torch still for any amount of tune. You just swipe the flame over the surface briefly, back and forth. Not even enough to heat the paint, really.
