Its kind of like the aleph null (which I will represent as N'0 ) to aleph one ( N'1) problem My theory is that just like from 0 > 1 , N'0 > N'1 there will be an infinite amount of numbers, as in the real numbers talked about. This would in turn make N'1 infinitely bigger, making the gap between N'0 and N'1 infinitely bigger (repeating the process).

The hare was ahead the whole time except for when the tortoise went ahead, so if anything it shows why the tortoise shouldn’t have been capable of beating the hare.
there are channels like: Kurgesagt, Vsauce, Vsauce 3, Vertasium and Crash Course that I watch on TH-cam and I recommend checking them out like seriously THEY ARE AWESOME
He said that you were catching up each time. So you would beat him in the race. If (T) starts at 5m and you start at 0 then (T) 6m (You) 2m (T) 7m (You) 4m (T) 8m (You) 6m (T) 9m (You) 8m (T) 10m (You) 10m (T) 11m (You) 12m This is an example of the race. You reached your maximum speed but you are still running at the peak consistently and so is the tortoise. You'll win by that logic.
Aperture - So technically, if you were to get one subscriber at the start of an hour, then one at half an hour, then one at 45mins etc. You would pass Pewdiepie in subs with infinite sucribers?...
There’s not an infinite amount of people, sooooo the amount that would 1: exist, 2: have the internet, 3: have TH-cam, and 4: actually watch his videos.
it should be noted that an infinite amount of people would be subscribed in just ONE hour, thus making this channel the most subscribed channel in just an hour. I certainly wouldn't be complaining
I like this video. I tried showing it to my dad and he cursed, afraid, and told me to keep it away from him lmao. I have an infinite amount of fear within this video from all the math and its amazing. I love this video despite the math, and thats an almost impossible thing to achieve, so i congratulate you an infinite amount of times uwu
What about Planck length, wouldn't there be a point where you and the tortoise be at such a close distance, like 10^-35 meters, and that distance between would be considered non-existent, so like the two would be at the same spot technically ?
The planck length would mean theres a finite distance, which in this scenario theres infinitely small distances e.g planck length/2 meaning that no matter what you can never pass the tortoise.
@@BaconNCereal an abstract concept without defined rules. While yes, we can prove quite a bit about inifjnity in mathematics, it does not mean that that can be transferred directly to reality.
@Chillish I just got tired of people saying they didn't understand it. I felt a small uncomfortable pinch in my brain every time a read a comment like that and I unfortunately could not stop myself from posting that in frustration. Lets be honest here, that stuff is not difficult, its fascinating! you just have to adjust your brain correctly to see why it makes sense and how to derive stuff like that on your own. Its great, because there are such few rules, kind of like programming a computer: you are only limited by the space in which you are working.
I just want to thank you. You might not read this, but if you do, thank you for every single video you made. I cant imagine the research and editing have gone into those videos. Your videos make already quite interesting subjects on a completely new level. For example, i knew about the moon landing, but decided to watch your video anyway. And it blew me away. You would deserve so much more subscribers. I have only recently discovered your channel and now recommended it to a few friends and my family. Thank you. You have taught me a lot things, which i thought i already knew but didnt. I hope you continue to do this for a long time. I look forward to the mid 2020s when we land on mars. Maybe you could make a video about that, because that is also a topic im incredibly interested in. Until your next video, and have a good life. i mean it.
That first one is genuinely my favorite, I’ve heard of it a long time ago, maybe a year. And in ALL that time it’s still just doesn’t make sense to me, it doesn’t make sense how I’d ever beat that tourist.
Our view of reality will forever be flawed. As illustrated by this video, we cannot use math to ever to complete accuracy describe the world that we inhabit.
@Ruhit Dey I'm pretty sure we do. Maybe not you and me, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't any information out there regarding the etymology of how the term(s) came to be.
That's exactly what I was thinking because there isn't an infinitesimal number that can not be divided in half, and is seen as not physically significant. It's the plank length, that's not it though. There is also an amount of time that if any smaller wouldn't be considered physically significant, the plank time. which is how long it takes light to travel a plank length. Vsauce explains this well in his supertask video.
Not really. I guess. Depends if there's a particle that we would call the smalles one existing, or I mean the smallest component. Then there isnt a infinite number, but still a big one lmao
@@danielsouthern2113 Same thing with the thing with the turtle at the beginning. You can cut that down till you reach the smallest component of matter and then of course there's the point where the turtle gets crossed.
You know, i have recently started watching your videos again after long time. And guess what I can go on and on again and again to every videos...every time I watch and listen to it, a new perspective and concept arises in my mind.its satisfying🥰🥰
you will surpass the tortoise at a time. In the video,you aren't just dividing length but time too.While looking at smaller length,you are also dividing the time. In effect,you are slowing down time more and more as the man approach the tortoise. Initially you are looking at 50 m in 5 s then 10 m in 1 s.then 5 m in 0.5 s.then 2.5 m in 0.25 s and so on. so the distance they meet becomes 50+10+5+2.5... and the time is 5+1+0.5+0.25.... so you are looking at what value the distance approaches in the limit where the time approaches the time of collision. This is just the basis of calculus. saying the man will never be ahead of the tortoise is wrong
You clearly did not watch the full video if you dont remember him talking about our ability to complete an infinite number of tasks in a finite amount of time
@@ethansadberry6069 i keep typing big replies on here and accidentally clearing out my text :'/ not trying to argue really, i just wanna makes sense of stuff too doing infinite tasks in a finite amount of time is not actually possible because the endpoint given in the video is one we will NEVER reach. Asking for the state of the lightbulb at the end of the hour is meaningless because you will never get to the end of the hour. In reality, yes the hours passes. But in reality, time moves forward (linearly). In the experiment, we observe time that slows down (moving forward, but fractionally). In reality, the man passes the tortoise. We can calculate when this happens. In the experiment, he will never reach it because as he races, time is slowing down indefinitely. Since we cannot break down time into a definable unit, we can *theoretically* complete tasks on and on forever. But the task of catching up simply does not happen unless we allow time to not lose speed. The question of the lightbulb being on or off at the end is invalid because if you could actually switch it in half the time as the tasks, you would also never reach the end of the hour. I explained it way better before but I've written this out like three times lol.
My friend chose Physics instead of Math. He was invited to the both classes to compete with other schools. Now I can show him this video and make him feel bad.
I use to have the same discussion with my academically talented 8th grade math students. Does a plane actually land if it only descends half it's distance to the ground? Do your feet actually the floor when you get out of bed? If I let you go to the restrooms', will you ever get there in time? Proved to be a very interesting discussion on infinity and the word infinite.
As for Thomson’s lamp, I feel like quantum physics could explain the end state. Quantum superposition of the lamps state causes one state to be chosen because of the lamp being observed.
Am in Cameroon 🇨🇲, actually had a few mind blowing imaginations (shower thoughts). I must admit it had actually crossed my mind about to do something like this🤷♂️ but no funds though, since I discovered this channel am contented as I now know someone is leaving my dreams in the biggest way possible. ❤️🙏
12:00 But in the second example, let's say you end up with infinity, because you infinitely add a net of nine, you still remove 1 ball every step, and 1 ball removed * infinity = infinity balls removed, therefore the amount removed equals the amount inside, and a fundamental law of mathematics is x - x = 0, therefore the amount of balls, is zero.
The Space in which this Universe exists seems to be infinite. That's the only place where infinity exists, and what is space, and why does this Universe even exists, where did the particles that started big bang even come from, why does anything even exists.. are all questions that we may never have the answers to
Sunny shah they say the answer is love because nothingness is practically the universe aka infinite darkness which I guess would be the polar opposite of love, it doesn’t make sense to me, but according to scientist we’re just floating around in this infinite darkness yet we have all this stuff, I don’t get it man, good night lol.

He said that you were catching up each time. So you would beat him in the race. If (T) starts at 5m and you start at 0 then

Since we cannot break down time into a definable unit, we can *theoretically* complete tasks on and on forever. But the task of catching up simply does not happen unless we allow time to not lose speed.
The question of the lightbulb being on or off at the end is invalid because if you could actually switch it in half the time as the tasks, you would also never reach the end of the hour.
I explained it way better before but I've written this out like three times lol.
If you're talking limits then you're wrong here as limit of something is the value it approaches, not necessarily the value it will be...
My friend chose Physics instead of Math. He was invited to the both classes to compete with other schools. Now I can show him this video and make him feel bad.
As illustrated by the video, the world cannot be described using math
Bruh how am I not gonna pass a turtle 🤨
Cuz slow
yes
"is our math wrong?"
My logic: no my existence is wrong
This makes me question my life. But the music is soooo calming. I love this
12:19 - sounds like he was smiling :)
Yeah!
He's laughing cause he likes saying balls
lol
Thank you for filling the void that Vsauce1 left in my soul
aperture, analysis
kowalski, status report
hi
This is so confusing but I cannot stop watching it, even if I don't really understand any of it
I swear im learning more from these videos than going to school
Every event in your entire life has happened in the present moment, time does not exist other than in your mind. ✌🏻&❤️
Gayyyyyyyyyy
B_ mused They won't be a motion.
Eckhart tolle
What a name
Time does exist ... wtf are you talking about lol
I understood this first time since I watch Richard and Mortimer.
The real paradox is the 400 people who disliked this video.
I use to have the same discussion with my academically talented 8th grade math students. Does a plane actually land if it only descends half it's distance to the ground? Do your feet actually the floor when you get out of bed? If I let you go to the restrooms', will you ever get there in time? Proved to be a very interesting discussion on infinity and the word infinite.
So well explained and presented!
As for Thomson’s lamp, I feel like quantum physics could explain the end state. Quantum superposition of the lamps state causes one state to be chosen because of the lamp being observed.
you got infinite number of $20 bills
your friend got infinite number of $100 bills
why is your friend richer than you if infinity is infinite ?
U and your friend are equally Rich!!😂
@@harikrishna2k well according to the video the $100 infinity is bigger than the $20 one!!
Its impossible for us to have a infinite amount of anything
Chrvz I have an i infinite amount of being gay
so your 1 big gay?
This is like vsauce with a different wix theme
When the lamp is done, the univere splits in two
Am in Cameroon 🇨🇲, actually had a few mind blowing imaginations (shower thoughts). I must admit it had actually crossed my mind about to do something like this🤷♂️ but no funds though, since I discovered this channel am contented as I now know someone is leaving my dreams in the biggest way possible. ❤️🙏

The title of this video matches the amount of ads in the video
I don't know why he has got so many subscribers. It's no original content, it's just vsauce rip-off in a new cover.
if u put a " - " before the title matches your iq.. Ad blockers exist for something ;)
Pedro :3 if you have no common sense then ill tell you that i have iphone....
there are iphone adblocker apps i think
Pedro :3 nope apple is too restricted
I love this theme
Almost 4 year anniversary being subbed to this channel 🥰💖
Thanks Aperture, this video broke my brain
12:00 But in the second example, let's say you end up with infinity, because you infinitely add a net of nine, you still remove 1 ball every step, and 1 ball removed * infinity = infinity balls removed, therefore the amount removed equals the amount inside, and a fundamental law of mathematics is x - x = 0, therefore the amount of balls, is zero.
Infinity is undefined. There are different levels of infinity.
When you're running you are not really running the earth is moving around and you are at state of rest.

The Space in which this Universe exists seems to be infinite.
That's the only place where infinity exists, and what is space, and why does this Universe even exists,
where did the particles that started big bang even come from,
why does anything even exists..
are all questions that we may never have the answers to
Sunny shah they say the answer is love because nothingness is practically the universe aka infinite darkness which I guess would be the polar opposite of love, it doesn’t make sense to me, but according to scientist we’re just floating around in this infinite darkness yet we have all this stuff, I don’t get it man, good night lol.
John Loco who says the answer is love lol
I always watch your videos when im having trouble sleeping.
In a finite, discrete, universe, which we likely are in, you will make these seemingly impossible jumps all the time.
I lost it at aleph null.
me too lol
