this legitimately helped me with a 3rd year applied calculus final in my mechanical engineering degree. question asked about the volume of a napkin ring of the determined height and instead of going through complicated calculus to find the answer i just found the volume if a sphere of the "same height" --- Very cool of you Micheal !:D (with teeth)
How did you get that one right when the volume of a napkin ring is (1/6)pi h^3, which clearly is not the volume of a sphere? You had to do something fairly clever. Please elaborate.
@@EliteTeamKiller2.0 If you have a napkin ring of height h taken from a sphere with radius R, the volume of that napkin ring will only depend on h. So you can just let h = 2r, so that the height of the napkin ring is the same as the height of the sphere, so then no volume is cut out of the sphere. (Edit: typo)
I’m so confused but at the same time I am envious of those able to completely understand this. I love to learn even when I don’t fully understand what I’m being told, and I accept this :/
Technically, the math involved here is only at the level you'd learn in a highschool trigonometry class. To be sure, it's not immediately intuitive and even if you knew how all the math involved worked that's not a guarantee you could figure this proof out on your own; but if you really would like to learn more about these kind if things, the math involved would not take very long to learn. I don't know what your education level is, but a single college level algebra class would likely cover more than anything you'd need. As far as Vsauce videos go, this one has a fairly low bar for entry and I'd encourage you to maybe pick up a book or two talking about trigonometry if you don't feel like taking a class. Knowing about angles and some of the more involved proofs for shape structure function has helped me a lot to intuitively understand my surroundings in every day life. It has certainly helped me to visualized objects better and increased my spacial understanding. I wish when I did trig back in high school I paid more attention, maybe learning Calc would have been easier if I didn't botch my basics.
I was in algebra 1 3x in highschool😂 Got through basic arithmetic, geo, and pre alg. Then i just hit a brick wall. My mind can understand the concept of the napkin ring and sort of the order of operations hes trying to prove to a certain point, but then i look at the equations on this paper and it starts to look like spaghetti
Let me try and translate it into simpler words: Take a sphere, like a basketball, and trace a path around it. You now have a sphere and a circle that are the same size. Do the same thing with other spheres, and measure how big that each sphere/circle pair is. You'll see a pattern emerges. That's how we get those formulas in school that teach you how to calculate a shape's volume and area and stuff. Remember this 'sphere/circle ratio.' It'll be important later. Now, cut a round hole all the way through the sphere and look at the hole head-on. The sphere will be smaller, obviously. Put the sphere back on the circle you traced and trace a second circle through the cut-out part. Your circle will now be a donut, so the circle is also smaller. Since you dug the same shape out of the sphere and the circle, the sphere/circle ratio won't change. In fact, a sphere or circle that's missing a piece isn't really that different from a sphere or circle that's smaller than the ones you started with. Remember this, too. The last part of this is to take 2 of your spheres and keep digging out the middles of them until only a napkin ring is left of each, and both napkin rings are the same height - maybe 1 inch. With both rings having the same height, the only things that make them different sizes are their lengths and widths... which are both going to be the same number because a sphere/circle is the same width all over. So now, you have 2 rings that are different sizes, but that also have the same properties: -1 inch height -(sphere width) inches across from 1 side of the ring to the other -(sphere/circle ratio) cubic inches cut out of the middle That's *always* going to be the case. If you core a blueberry and a watermelon so there's only about a blueberry's-height-worth of material left, most of the blueberry will still be there, while all that remains of the watermelon will be a very thin layer of the rind. They're both 1 blueberry high, 1 (insert the width of either fruit here) in diameter, and they're both missing (blueberry height minus sphere/circle ratio). Plug the numbers into a calculator, and you'll wind up with matching answers every time.

I've noticed a trend. You started with interesting, general science topics, mixing in a little philosophy here and there to capture the viewers attention. Now you're moving toward more technical, more applicable knowledge. It's almost like you're trying to educate us.
@Na Zhao: Anyone who finished elementary school should be able to follow a proof like the one in the video and all of the Vsauce content (he doesn't even assume the viewer knows the Pitagorean theorem). To keep the content interesting, Michael can't afford to assume the viewer is even less educated (like explaining what a square root is and such).
@FireBeam BRO what? Yes I understand. The equation proved that the size of the sphere is not relevant, if they share the same height the volume that it would take up is the same. This guy is saying "oh he took more from the bigger one", but he needed to take more from the bigger one in order to get a napkin ring that is the same height. This concept is really interesting and if you felt this was stupid, then you should have just closed the video.
@FireBeam also if you deleted your comment, well done, cause I can't see it anymore. For anyone else who is reading this, the guy said "And you do? This video is the dumbest thing I've ever seen yet.".

Wow I never felt more smarter after being able to understand properly a math equation in a Vsauce video. It's actually really simple maths. That particular subject literally CARRIED my marks for my exams. I was just shy of a A1 but a A2 is alright.

CyanideMadness I love every vid by VS but I will admit, I expected to be left with the usual existential crisis. Still liked this video though, even with corny end joke
you cut the two circles to the peel, you pierce the peel from one of the circles to the other with a needle, push a small metal wire through the hole and pull it anround the orange.
So, taking this to it's logical limit, does this mean the exact volume of any napkin ring is equal to the volume of a sphere with a diameter equal to the height of the ring?
yes! such a sphere is a 'napkin ring' with an infinitely narrow cylindrical hole through its center. Great for when you don't want your one-dimensional napkins to blow away.
Pegasi yes, he did prove that the radius of the sphere does not matter. He didn’t prove that the equation didn’t matter though. The proof is to show that you can have something with infinite radius but if you take make a napkin ring of the same height as an atom, they’ll both be the same. Being able to prove something like that actually matters a lot
I love this kind of video, it captures that feeling, that after looking at a problem for a while, and solving equations, you find a fascinating, counter-intuitive fact. In this case, the sphere's radius cancelling out. And all of the math used in this video is simple, high-school (or even middle-school)-level math - Subtract terms from both sides, square or take the square root, use the Pythagorean theorem, BAM, you got a result
Doctor Robotnik That was such a good joke dude holy shit. You must've been sitting on that one for so long. God bless you finally got to use it. So good
For a second, I thought the solar eclipse mentioned at the end of the video was talking about the one about to happen in a few days, not the one that happened years ago. That was a bit weird lol
I like watching him and always learn something new and find the topics interesting. I learned 2 things this time with regards to the napkin ring video; how much algebra starts hurting my head eventually, and nothing at all.
Everyone in the comment section saying "i learned this in 8th grade" or "this is pretty much high school geometry" while I'm here like "what the actual fuck is a napkin ring?"
I used to understand this stuff a lot more in high school. Now I have to rewind it to grasp what he’s saying. It’s like relearning a language I haven’t spoken in years, but I miss it!
I saw this video a long time ago but never forgot it. Now I’ma math tutor and I bring it up with my students every so often. Although I did forget this version of the explanation, and so I’d have to use calculus to prove it, which I imagine must have confused the younger kids.

Why does this have no likes it's golden
Nathan Escobedo thanks, I have no idea 😂👍
it also sounds like he says "let's calculate area.... with teeth"
Can relate 😂

Is math related to science ?
Suggestion: what shape is the universe?
yes
+Kabloosh
What in the universe is shape?
it's the shape of the universe.
Kabloosh It's just a ball, a sphere
It's a septagon
"It is called 'napkin ring' because, it looks like a napkin ring"
Perfectly explained, VSauce

What if I make a burger and a fry a napkin ring? They would have to pay the same price

0:50 when you blow someone’s mind by telling them orange oil is flammable.
Its kinda obvious, most oils are flammable.
The transition at 3:04 is one of the coolest that I’ve seen in awhile.

So, taking this to it's logical limit, does this mean the exact volume of any napkin ring is equal to the volume of a sphere with a diameter equal to the height of the ring?
Well that comment was better than this whole video.
Yes. Wow. The sphere is like a napkin ring with an infinitely small hole in it.
yes! such a sphere is a 'napkin ring' with an infinitely narrow cylindrical hole through its center. Great for when you don't want your one-dimensional napkins to blow away.
Vsauce lmao
OldRed91 thats the smartest comment i have seen on youtube
8:13 mans just did a whole 4 minute equation just to prove it doesn’t matter lmao
That's math for ya
Currently in differential equations and dynamics, can confirm. I no longer enjoy it when things cancel out
Who enjoys math in general?
No me
Pegasi yes, he did prove that the radius of the sphere does not matter. He didn’t prove that the equation didn’t matter though. The proof is to show that you can have something with infinite radius but if you take make a napkin ring of the same height as an atom, they’ll both be the same. Being able to prove something like that actually matters a lot
I love how intuitive he makes some of the concepts of trigonometry.
"oh btw orange oil is flammable" 😂😂
Yeah we watched the video too

boi, you cant be throwing math problems like that at me when I haven't been in school in 5 years. I nearly had an aneurism
Pickpocket welcome to the interwebz
I love this kind of video, it captures that feeling, that after looking at a problem for a while, and solving equations, you find a fascinating, counter-intuitive fact. In this case, the sphere's radius cancelling out.
And all of the math used in this video is simple, high-school (or even middle-school)-level math - Subtract terms from both sides, square or take the square root, use the Pythagorean theorem, BAM, you got a result
Leaving a reply under it seems every damn comment. Dude Why are You so pathetic, come on, take a look in the mirror. You are pathetic :DDD

Hi I just watched a 10 minute video on a napkin ring.
What is a napkin ring?
I just watched a video about volume on my phone, with the volume on my phone completely down.
100 likes 💯
How fancy, a napkin ring you can watch videos on. /s
"but right now we're talking about balls, and coring them"
vsauce out of context moment
I get sad sometimes knowing Michael Stevens will never be a professor in my college.
Eazy- Austin you can’t sad if your not alive?
That’s because professors are just people who failed to put their degrees to real world use lol.
Carson Hunt they teach people so they can do something with their degrees
That made me sad
Carson Hunt profs have to go to school to be an educator u dont just graduate w a math degree and become a math teacher
Is it “hi Vsauce, Michael here”
Or is it “hi, Vsauce, Micheal here.”
Is he introducing himself as Vsauce or are we the audience Vsauce.
Why has no one commented. I need the answer
hes actually very descreetly saying how long it will be until the heat death of the universe
DS Beast
Interesting question
I just noticed that the two"Michaels" had different spellings
ones MichAEL
seconds MichEAL
We the audience are vsauce!!!
The clip of Michael flailing his arms around gives me the peace to rest easy knowing we have a valiant knight by our side.
0:39 therefore you can basically hold an entire reverse halo ring

"By the way, orange oil is flammable."
Thank you Michael.
That was my biggest takeaway from the video.
Yep
The oil not the ring
He said orange oil
Can you smoke it then?

Highlight of this episode: "By the way, Orange oil is flammable."
the thicker the peel the better
Yeah that’s literally the only thing I understood lmao
yay. with teeth.
Only part I understood
Devil Darlin' yea we are learning about Napkin rings, so flammable orange oil is helpful
I like watching him and always learn something new and find the topics interesting. I learned 2 things this time with regards to the napkin ring video; how much algebra starts hurting my head eventually, and nothing at all.
Everyone in the comment section saying "i learned this in 8th grade" or "this is pretty much high school geometry" while I'm here like "what the actual fuck is a napkin ring?"
Its a ring you put around a rolled up cloth napkin to keep it rolled up.
John Carter LOL
It's the ring to keep napkins looking all fancy and such. You know, when you go to those high-end, expensive as fuck restaurants.
Senif
Your not alone
Wtf is a napkin ring
Until I looked at comments
That is literally the only thing i understood about this video.

I used to understand this stuff a lot more in high school. Now I have to rewind it to grasp what he’s saying. It’s like relearning a language I haven’t spoken in years, but I miss it!
i dont get it at all :( makes me feel stupid
That is exactly how i feel. 16 year old me would have gone nuts for this stuff
It's Trigonometry I think
@@ysccl it's not trig at all 😂 it's just geometry and algebra
Luis Laurean oh ok, thanks
I saw this video a long time ago but never forgot it. Now I’ma math tutor and I bring it up with my students every so often. Although I did forget this version of the explanation, and so I’d have to use calculus to prove it, which I imagine must have confused the younger kids.
