"This is where it gets more interesting. 9, 8, 2..."
"You'll notice this is one of the more boring parts of the number. 7, 6..."
I love this guy
Matt Parker. I love him too. He even has his own channel: standupmaths
I know, he hardly uploads on his main channel, so it feels like a gift from the heavens when he is featured on Numberphile. Quality over quantity.
That used to be true, but not so much anymore. Matt actually uploads videos to his main channel somewhat regularly now.
jr lepage Somewhat regularly, keyword there. I may just be used to most of the channels I watch uploading very frequently. The channels I subscribe to usually upload once every two to three times a day, so I guess I've set a standard when I subscribed to standupmaths.
MistaTwoJeffreyTwenty Yaay _"Once every two to three times a day"_ doesn't even make sense...
I can't believe I'm procrastinating from doing my maths homework by learning about harder maths on the internet... Why am I like this?

Because Matt's videos are amazing! Always!!!

I like how he can notice 4 incorrect digits in the middle of a giant wall of numbers, cross them out , then continue like nothing happened
matt can do anything
What is this except make a magic square with square numbers.
he is a show man

That was very tempting.
I think it would have been great.

That's so Matt.
I know this is real, but it felt like an April fools video.
Especially, when he pulled out the pacman version XD
007MrYang I know! I was thinking the same thing. As i was watching that part, i was about to comment asking if it was a joke.
Jordan Phillips Especially considering that Matt Parker is well-known for joking a lot, and delivering his jokes in a deadpan way that makes you question whether he's being serious or not. But this is actually real!
007MrYang The Pac-Man one _was_ pretty great.
007MrYang Me too! I actually looked at the date to make sure it wasn't posted on April 1st. When he proved it was real, I was like okaaay... mind. blown.
007MrYang If you pick the right k value, you'll find a section where it says "April Fool".
‘Tupper’s self-referential formula’ sounds like a D&D spell.
tashas uncontrollable hideous laughter
"When cast, target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or recite this description."
"when cast, target creature must succeed a wisdom saving throw or be forced to cast tupper's self-referential formula", so it just drains spell slots.
Any target that fails their Will save fails their next Will save.
I've got a homebrew enemy wizard who's a senile mathematician. This is the perfect spell for him
So who here is going to reanimate an entire Spongebob episode by using different points on the graph and several screenshots
You could write a computer program to do it. For each frame of the animation, get the corresponding number and draw a graph.
Entire Bee Movie?
They will need to then post the coordinates for each frame.

if you do the number he put in his book, it gives you the formula but under it, it says "matt was 'ere"
No it doesn't. It has a picture of the Parker square with the caption, "never forget"
No it doesn't! It shows a pixelated image of him performing the goatse pose.
Gosh. Confusions.

Who's Fermat?
@@higztv1166 fermat was a mathematician who died before giving the proof of a stated theorem, which then took 300+ years to solve
@@Squobidal And used HUGELY advanced mathematics that weren't even dreamt of in Fermat's time. It's almost a certainty Fermat's 'proof' was one of the thousands of erroneous proofs that had been submitted prior to Andrew Wiles' finally proving his theorem in the 90s.
We are number one but it is made using Tupper's formula
Genious
Hans Lee if you wanna be mathematician number one you need to solve the formula on the run!
Just do simple operation and do it quick be carefull not to make a mistake, no 1+1=2 not 1. Now look at this calculator that I just found, when I say go be ready to do the operation.
Go!
But that one doesn't have the mod function
Ohh let's buy another one
Now watch and learn here's the deal. Code and program with HTML. JA JA JA
What are you doing!
Lolol
someone took time out of their day to make a mathy version of WANO.
*faith in humanity lowers*
OLD-BIT ProGaming, HTML isnt a coding/progressing language its a markup language
(its in the name. HyperText Markup Language)
It has boolean and arithmetic operations so you could build anything really, it just not what it was made for.
huh, so it's kind of the library of babel
that's pretty neat
That's a fantastic comparison! This is the Library of Babel of formulas.
It's more like a function which takes the k value as an argument, and turns that into a grid. The actual graph can be said to be "encoded" into the value you use for k. You can look at the value k as the actual image you want to be displayed, and the equation is actually the tool you use to render it.
Not necessarily formulas. You saw that he did "Numberphile," so really just the Library of Babel of anything that can fit in a 106*17 grid of pixels. xD
Actually the x size isn't limited to 106, it will go further with higher K's. And you can also increase the height with a slight modification of the formula.
BRO TEACH ME
When you break it down, the equation is less complicated than it first appears. The (1/2) term is merely distinguishing between 0 and 1 - whether a pixel should appear at a given location in the image. The term floor( y / 17 ) will always represent the number of the grid-image itself ( before it was multiplied by 17 ). It is a binary encoding of the image. The term 2^( 17*floor(x) + mod( y, 17) ) selects each pixel of the image one at a time.. each x,y coordinate selects a different pixel. The exponent is then made negative so the grid number is divided by the pixel selection number. When there is a pixel in the given location, the selected-pixel number will be a factor of the image number and there will be a remainder of 1 (plus maybe a fraction). If not, there will be a fractional less than 1 and the floor of the value will be 0. There are a few tricky details, but this is the essence of the problem.
But why is it specifically 106 across? Doesn't that seem arbitrary?
It doesn't appear in the equation so why is that how far it goes along the X axis?
@@Fun_maths i think the points graphed with the formula keep going right, but you can just ignore them for a specific width.
@@Fun_maths you're right, there is no limit on how far across it goes, you would just need to go higher up
Putting the formula into desmos shows 1/2 is irrelevant I think, any k seems to suffice
Making your own formulas is basically coding, but your programming language is Math.
at what number does it say parker's square?
Daniel, I thought you'd just given a random number, but it does say "Parker square!" at that number!!
Anurag Krishnan is there some kind of program to play with this that everyone except I know about?
Wonder if that web site is actually using big integer math, or merely deriving bitmaps from the binary conversion of the number? .... umm, well, yeah, duh, guess at least some big integers have to be involved just to derive the binary.
That's what the FLOOR function is doing in the formula - dropping off the decimal points.
I have found the exact result of the formula Fermat case n = 3.
y=1/{ [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zy+2z^2 - 2Sx+2Sx -2Sz+ (x+y-z)/3 } / 2
However , B is an integer .So y< 1
does not accept
Combine two formulas to solve Flt case n=3.
Sx=1^2+2^2+3^2+....+x^2=(2x^3+3x^2+x) / 6.
And
x^2+y^2-z^2=(x+y-z)^2 +2xy-2zxz-2zy+2z^2
suppose
x^3+y^3=z^3
so
3Sx-3/2x^2-x/2+3Sy-3/2y^2 - y/2 - (3Sz -3/2z^2-z/2)=0
so
2Sx-x^2-x/3+2Sy-y^2 - y/3 - (2Sz -z^2-z/3)=0
so
(2Sx+2Sy-2Sz)-(x^2+y^2-z^2) =(x/3+y/3-z/3)
so
[Sx+S(x-1)+Sy+S(y-1)-Sz-S(z-1)]=(x+y-z)/3
so
(x+y-z)^2=[3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2
because
x^2+y^2-z^2=(x+y-z)^2 +2xy-2zxz-2zy+2z^2
so
x^2+y^2-z^2=[3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zxz-2zy+2z^2
And there was
x^2+y^2 - z^2=2Sx+2Sx -2Sz - (x+y-z)/3
compare
2Sx+2Sx -2Sz - (x+y-z)/3=[3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zx-2zy+2z^2
So
x={ (2Sx+2Sx -2Sz) - (x+y-z)/3 - [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2+2zx+2zy-2z^2 } / 2y
z={ [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zy+2z^2 - 2Sx+2Sx -2Sz+ (x+y-z)/3 } / 2x
z={ [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zx+2z^2 - 2Sx+2Sx -2Sz +(x+y-z)/3 } / 2y
call
{ (2Sx+2Sx -2Sz) - (x+y-z)/3 - [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2+2zx+2zy-2z^2 } / 2 is A
So
x=A/y
{ [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zy+2z^2 - 2Sx+2Sx -2Sz+ (x+y-z)/3 } / 2 is B
z=B/x
{ [3Sx+3S(x-1)+3Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 +2xy-2zx+2z^2 - 2Sx+2Sx -2Sz +(x+y-z)/3 } /2 is C
y=C/z
Because x^3+y^3=z^3
So
A^3/y^3+C^3/z^3=B^3/x^3
B^3/x^3=(A^3.z^3+C^3.y^3) / (zy)^3
B^3.(zy)^3=x^3A^3.z^3+x^3C^3.y^3
So
(Bzy)^3=(Axz)^3+(Cxy)^3
This is x,y,z
So
z=Bzy
So
1=By
So
y=1/B
Because B is integer so y
"Things to make and do in the fourth dimension" is the book that sparked my obsession with mathematics. This instilled facination is literally why I am watching this channel to begin with!
The images are 17 pixels tall - presumably "17" was a fairly arbitrary choice by Tupper? Tall enough to just fit the formula in I guess?
Another formula might exist for making pictures 23 pixels tall, or 101 pixels tall.. or 720 pixels tall and 1080 pixels across...
If so, every frame of this Numberphile video could, in principle, be encoded by a formula.... as well as every frame of every other video ever made. And every video that ever will be made.
AlanKey86 Changing the size of the picture is pretty easy... there's three "17"s in the formula, just change all of those to, say, 23, or 720, and you have a formula that does the same thing for a different height. And the width isn't even a part of the formula, if you want to encode a wider picture it works just fine, you just end up with a larger number for k.
Also, ultimately, everything on a computer _is_ encoded by a formula like this... every computer file could in principle be read as a single very large number, and it's the software on the computer that plays the role of the formula, turning that number into something useful... of course, (most) software is a bit more complicated than this particular formula, but the principle is the same.
AlanKey86 Essentially that's the idea behind Gödelization, yes. Or digital computers for that matter. Everything in memory is a number, including both data and code. So your OS is a number, the TH-cam server is a number, the videos are numbers, your Flash player is a number ... everything is a number, transformed into pretty pictures by other numbers.
AlanKey86 congrats on figuring out how animated gifs work. an animated gif is simply a series of bitmap images where bitmap images are simply the k values of this formula (or another one using any dimensions) so when plotted it gives the binary image, but also has a third dimension for color values.
Rawiri Hohepa hex is just a different base number system, it represents numbers (the same numbers) as binary just in a way that is easier for a human to interpret (to the computer its always binary at the machine level)
you can represent a color image in binary, you would just need a third dimension to the formula where the values range from binary for black (00000....) to binary for white (111111....) and the range of colors would depend whether you use 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit colors etc. Of course these can be converted to hex but the hex and the binary both represent the same underlying numbers/colors.
Ddub1083 Strictly speaking GIFs use LZW compression typically with 8 bits-per-pixel (palettised)
If that number isn't a giant pixel knob, I will be disappointed.

Vort3x When I convert that number to binary I get a 1804-digit number. But 106×17=1802, so there must be something strange going on. (By the way, I checked your number with the book, and it is correct.)
Claus Tøndering Weird, it comes up with the correct image anyway :)
Tru3Gamer I was kinda hoping it was the lyrics to "Never gonna give you up".Then Matt could have got the record for most convoluted rickroll ever :D
Claus Tøndering You have to divide it by 17 first.
This would be an amazing way to hide codes. Just give someone the k coordinates and you can give someone any message
No ,actually might as well just give them in writing.
@@priyanshugoel3030 But if someone else sees the number, they might not necessarily be well-informed on the context.
@@jacobschiller4486 what i said might have been an overexaggeration. But still it is pretty inefficient for info transfer.maybe you could share a shortened link though.
106 * 17 = 1802, so there are 1802 pixels in each "grid". There are 2^1802 different possible grids with this logic. Since each grid has height 17, the max height of this function - based on the description within this video - is (17 * (2^1802)).
So here's my question: what happens at higher y-values? That number is very large, but it's a drop in the pond of the infinite ocean lying above it. So how does the function behave at those far higher y-values? Is it periodic? Does it repeat the grids, exactly in order, for infinity? Does it start giving garbage? Is it blank; does it not display anything above that point?
Simon Carlile Do we know that it doesn't repeat itself even earlier? You can only call that the maximum height of the function if you know every block of 17 up to that point is unique. You would need to be prove that it won't start repeating until after it has exhausted all the distinct possibilities.
If a multiuniverse exists then those picrures which looks as garbage for us might have ordered structure in other worlds. By the way I rather think it's a trick than an explanation of how our world has been created. Someone could start thinking that it's a mistery but it's not. Tupper translated a picture to formula and that's all he did. LOL.
It starts repeating but inverted - starts at the top right instead!! Pretty cool stuff, just tried it
What happens at x>108? Does it repeat itself infinitely along the x-axis, or do something else?
One thing, there are 2^1803 - 1, because you can have a binary number of 1802 1's which if you add one is 2^1803. Also it equals 5*10^543 or 5 Octogintacentillion or more specifically 57158678861384166688322083618419726931125849158791219735754653591148474629858302

So you are saying that there is a K value for a screen shot of Half Life 3?
sayrith There's a k value for the phrase you'd need to speak to get them to release Half Life 3
Nathan T I like you.
Sicarius Noctis
Thank you for making me laugh :)
Well, there are also K values for images that look like a screen shot of HL3 but are not actually, and you can't tell what image is accurate until the game is released. You may as well say, "So there's an image that's a screenshot of HL3?", since any image can be encoded as a K number.

OK I thought I got maths but after that pacman I was just like nope someone's just making fun of me my whole life's been a lie
It is real, though.
yeah no I do believe it but I just think it's also amazingly hilarious XD
It's actually meaningless, like the library of Babel. It's just confusing people who don't understand how *all* information representation works. It's just one particular encoding.
Plot this, please.

When half the video was over, I thought this was a late April fools video. Now I'm just impressed.
What?! What is...I don't even.....WHAT?!
Indeed.
Well said.
+RFC3514
actually, it plots every bitmap of height 16. It will not stop at length 106, it will go up to bitmaps of 16x1749395729 or even 16x374729273837373838383838363828284846 and up further
+The_Blind_Ninja
actually replace all those 16s by 17s
RFC3514 Heh. Evil bit.
I love people. I love that people can come up with this stuff. And I'm grateful that you folks [The people that make Numberphile happen] bring amazing and interesting things into the forefront.
This is my favorite Numberphile video, Matt Parker kills it.
So somewhere in there is everything you've ever said and done typed in comic sans.
if it fits in thar area of 17x106 YES
+Dapeep Fonts probably have to have a higher resolution than that, so ... no.
Monkyupurbutt it'll probably need to be found in separate parts
Most fonts are just vector images, so u can't find any sharp pixels in it
@@davr1 Vector yes, but prior to cleartype and AA, fonts like Comic Sans were designed to be rendered in an aliased manner. So yes, you'd be able to find Comic Sans text.
Similar to how you can find your phone number in pi if you keep looking
AndroidDoctorr lol my number occurs 20 times in the first 200 million digits.
AndroidDoctorr It's similar, but it's more like how you can find your phone number in "0000000000000001000000020000000300000004"... it's not just easy to find, but it's also easy to figure out where to look to find it, once you know the pattern...
AndroidDoctorr Actually, we don't know that you can find your phone number in pi. Numbers that contain every finite sequence of digits are called "normal" but we don't know if pi is normal or not.
beeble2003 it might not work for every number or everyone but I did find that pi contains my number, I googled it and found a site that could tell me how many times my phone number or any number occurs (as long as it wasn't too large) in the first 200 million digits. it occurs 20 times. I didn't use area code though, I only used 7 digits. It couldn't do it with area code included.
AndroidDoctorr It's even more like how you can find an approximation as accurate as you like to any analytic function somewhere in the Riemann zeta function.
This video made me check the date for April 1st. Math becomes so incredible that you don't know if it's fake sometimes.

When he brought out the sheet with Pac-Man, I thought this video was one giant joke of some sort.
By the end, my brain finally wrapped around what and how this all worked, and I'm completely astounded by the complexity available for such a relatively "simple" formula (that isn't as lengthy as the k-value needed to define everything within).
Colonel Dookie I thought it was a joke too and it was put up 2 weeks too late.
Colonel Dookie If you are amazed with simple formulas or procedures that can create something really complex, I suggest you to search about fractals... I'm sure you could find that quite interesting
The best video I have seen till date. Hands down.
That's the kind of video that makes me check the day of original posting expecting it to be the 1st of April. That's astounding.
oh ya youre right. i encounter that number practically every day of my life
*looks around slowly* "That seven should be a two."
(quick, run before he gets done checking)
This might be my favourite Numberphile ever. Incredible! 👏
Thank you for sharing your love of mathematics with the world.
This has truly amazed me. I've watched pretty much all Numberphile videos, and this is by far the most amazing video ever. When Matt brought up the plot, my jaw was literally wide open. Thank you for the excellent video!
This equation makes so much more sense when you realize all these equations is just reducing the data to lattice points and doing some bit shifts and and'ing with 1 to get the data you want out of your chosen y start value.
Really neat and fun to play around with. It also taught me that octave apparently doesn't support arbitrary size integers, while python does it easily.
I was pretty uninterested at first, but that has got to be one of the coolest things in all mathematics.
I love that book, and i’m so surprised that it’s made by you!!!
This formula has to be the most unique, natural, and mind-blowing equation I have encountered. Love math and love how this ties into binary meaning this is how images are made in computers I believe. Again, just mind blowing.
Well, its more an abstract representation of all possible pixel permutations than how computers actually work, but yeah
5:44 If that number encodes the Numberphile logo, isn't it illegal?
Why would it be illegal

I dont think i will see anything cooler than this in any math class i have had, am having, or ever will have.
This is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen
Very interesting but there is only a finite number of ways to colour a 17*106 graph. What happens when all of them have been graphed
+Jack Walsh Must be repeating itself.
that is like the best comment i've read till now.....
+Jack Walsh I believe there are 2^1802 different unique pictures you can make with this formula (2^1000 apparently has 301 digits), so yea.
+Jack Walsh That does make me curious though.
+Jack Walsh What happens? Nothing?
It's possible this is the coolest thing ever done.
Hah! That's super cool! And quite impressive. It's like a mathematical way to encode pixel data rather than the digital ways we currently have.
Love Matt's casual humor
This is so meta I just can't express how awesome it is

I just found a new favourite math TH-cam video
Great direction on this video - brilliant
This is insanely cool!
Was about to ask if this could be used for some crazy compression, then I watched the bit where the K number is the uncompressed image...
Back to square 1...
Hi guy from 5 years ago! What if you found factors of those numbers and saved those instead?
This is ridiculously amazing!!
This has to be their best video
After you showed Pacman I checked if the release of the video was not 1st of April
Fun fact: Insane graphs like these have only come out in the past few decades or so. The Mandelbrot set was so hard to plot that this was literally the best picture they had of the set in the 70's and 80's: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mandel.png Nowada
Anyways, the main point is you gotta be thankful for computers which have made discovering things like these easier. It would be impossible to "discover" a Tupper Formula before the 1st century!
This is FREAKING AWESOME !!!
I remember growing up in a time where they said, "you're not always going to have a calculator near by" and never learning this in school... i have never seen this before... I'm mesmerized
This is the coolest "semi hyperwebster" I've ever seen
How on earth did anyone ever find out that would happen?
L0LWTF1337 started with the finished product and worked backward.
L0LWTF1337 The formula just prints out bitmaps. There are equivalent (though more complex and more flexible) formulas in every digital paint program. This is more or less like using Photoshop to open a BMP file of the text "Photoshop", and then calling Photoshop "self-referential".
The actual formula doesn't contain itself; what contains the bitmap of the formula is the K number (which is just a bitmap converted to decimal).
This is ridiculously awesome!!
THIS IS SUPER USEFUL HOLY S*** I can imagine some circuitry in a computer monitor that decodes binary coordinate values to generate images
New challenge: The input number that will plot out itself
I thought about that too, but many input numbers are so large, that you can't really fit them inside the grid, so I think it's probably impossible
You could theoretically find a number that you could express as an equation that fit in the space, using exponents etc.
Make it happen :D
Gizmo Studios that's waaaay harder
Well that number doesn't necessarily exist. I'd even say that it is highly unlikely that such a number exists.
i really like this one. it's one of the one's in all of human history!

But what is beyond the k value for a completely black screen?
aajjeee Maybe there isn't one. Maybe it's undefined.
TheSpacecraftX How could it possibly be undefined? Look at the formula.
aajjeee Try it and see
aajjeee the grid is 106 * 17, meaning there are 1802 squares, making for a 1802 bit number, thus the number holts 2^1802 possible values (including zero), so the number for a completely black screen would be 2^1802 - 1

kyconny You forgot to multiply by 17, but also, because of the mod() funcions, wouldn't -17 also be a black screen?
OMG, this is amazing!
This guy, my goodness he can memorise things
Anyone else who checked and found that he used the number k for the upside down version of the formula?
Yeah! I wonder how you can transform plots using that inequality for a given value of k...
Is there anything like this in the 3D plot?
relike868p or sth to do in 4 dimensions lol
relike868p There's no reason why you can't do it (i.e., make a voxel map printer instead of a bitmap printer), but the "K" numbers get a _lot_ bigger.
FlyingJetpack1 Simulating what? You mean printing out every possible variation? Yes, that would take a long time (basically, it takes Z x T, where T is the time it takes to print every possible result of the 2-dimensional function and Z is the number of layers). Since the 2D version has 2^1802 possible variations, that does "add up", to put it mildly.
But if you're just trying to print out _one_ voxel map, it's only Z x t, with t being the time it takes to print out _one_ 106x17 bitmap). In other words, pretty quick.
Actually, 106 might not be enough (because the formula would be longer), but you get the picture.
The real problem is that the size of the number K (which is what _actually_ encodes the "image") _also_ increases by a factor equal to the number of layers, even if you're just trying to print _one_ voxel map. So a 10-layer voxel (i.e., with a resolution of 106x17x10) would have a K number with 10x the digits of the number Matt used here. Basically, you're just "stacking" a series of bitmaps into that number, one after the other (and then using a modulo operation to split the layers while printing them out).
And, of course, you can't really represent it with pen and paper (you'd need Lego bricks or something 3D), which limits its "party trick" potential, even if you managed to memorise the huge number.
FlyingJetpack1 Nah, the number will be large (and you need quite some amount of space for storing it) but still will not take years because you don't need to try and guess something.
o_O I missunderstood him, now that I know he ment rendering a certain K it's not as difficult as I thought it is. But in a 3D formula the numbers the K can get to are astronomically gigantic. As you said, it will take few GBs to storage all those numbers and extracting them to the formula will take a few mins.
loving this
This formula contains all the digits of Pi. All of them! In groups albeit, all over, but with each group containing perfectly ordered digits of Pi that map it out to infinity.
how these people memorize numbers that long will forever be a mystery to me
+Skunkdog Gro They put it next to where they are writing and copy them
+Skunkdog Gro He put the wrong number in his book, what makes you think he actually wrote the correct version there?
+Clayton Fuhrman Due to a common misinterpretation of the fact that actual computer bitmaps work differently than this, the most common number used to represent the equation is plotted upside-down.

orazdow It actually looks pretty boring. Very little changes if you only increase by a increment of 100 digits or less, and most of what you'll see is a bunch of lines on the right hand side of the image and a bunch of garbage on the left, slowly changing as time goes on.
