i've had a similar experience, now explained 30 years later......strange world we live in, everything makes sense, eventually
The video didn’t really explain the behaviour though, it just made an observation/comparison to the mathematics they were talking about. I’d be interested in a more in depth video that actually explains why we see this behaviour so often

@@christianmathison5892 to be fair there could be girls among those mathematicians.
The fact that “chaos theory” is a real thing absolutely blows my mind. Even pure chaos can be mathematically modeled. Incredible.
I've had courses in Algebra, Calculus and Trigonometry, but never really had these concepts connected to actual real-world phenomena, so it always felt very... mechanical, very transactional. If they incorporated these concepts into the teaching, I believe it would make it much more relatable during the process.
Good point. But there are people who can actually connect those things naturally. I think this is also a skill on its own - we don't need to be thought because we see those patterns interacting each other and what have presented seems to be trivial...
100% i always thought that we would have leaps and bounds of breakthroughs in understanding the entire structure of the universe if we taught students in school basic math... and then showed them crazy concepts like these in the hopes that one of the billions of people on the earth will see them and go "huh that reminds me of x, what if we apply it here?" rather than pushing them through advanced mathematics to get degrees
not only that but if you look up slow motion explosions on youtube and look closely the inital explosion looks like the mandelbrot set, and you can see that as it expands there are little bits of contraction in every single explosion if you take it frame by frame
i watched this video when it came out 3 years ago and i've been obsessed with the concept ever since

Well, it just tells us someone is messing with the parameters big time.
When things are chaotic, you focus on chaos. And when you focus long and hard enough, even chaos can make sense.
For anyone wanting to study the math of this, I recommend Steven Strogatz - Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos. That was the textbook I used in undergrad.
So, basically, 'Chaos' is a misnomer now. There is clear method and math to the madness. Are we really living in a simulation :-)? Sometimes, it fascinates me to see all the advancements made in math, science. probability. stats etc with a simple thesis to put some structure/framework to quantify the world around us. It has helped us explain a few phenomenons, create products, even predict stock prices, human behavior (looking at patterns and trends etc) but the other part of me is conflicted - for life and its energies cant be modeled. It's too fascinating to be modeled out and the vastness of the universe and my spiritual beliefs are a complete anti-thesis to my scientific side. Heck, even science is ever changing - now, we are discovering qubits - particles that carry both -ve and +ve charges, which has deep implication to our view of physics and the world around us!
While amazing, how much can humans really 'figure out' vs realizing there is something more to life that what even our more prolific attempts at math/AI/ML will ever get us to.. Or, perhaps, there isnt a higher power :-)?
You really did a good job with this one. This is something that’s been fascinating to me for a long time, and there was even a point a few years ago when I was trying to explain to my mathematical friends, the connections between the logistic map and the Mandelbrot set and they didn’t believe me! This stuff seems so fundamental, but it doesn’t seem like it’s tot as a unifying principle when it could be. It’s just nice to see somebody acknowledge all of these different pieces of the puzzle so thank you and thank you for making some thing I can .2.
When you turned the Mandelbrot on it’s side to show the bifurcation, I’ll be honest, it blew my mind.
That one made me stand up an pace frantically for awhile....mind blown..

As a control systems engineer, I've seen this behaviour before in several systems when control goes awry.
Now that I know there might be something I can do about it, this opens up all sorts of possibilities to new control methods. I'm freaking out a little bit.
Actually the first physical chaos measured was an engineer using a simple circuit with a transistor and a harmonic input, where he sometimes saw one period, sometimes two, and sometimes all of them
I was thinking about controls too for most of the video!
Wow, you could control something back from the edge of chaos or even from already started chaotic behavior (like an airplane already entering an aerodynamic stall) using the methods that those scientists used on the rabbit hearts! I hope you're looking into that paper right now lol.

That's probably the ideal situation.

You'd also be very slightly outside your comfort zone, to give you room to "grow into" the lesson. It would also be a bit challenging and would leave you with a few questions to mull over, thereby slightly increasing the chance of watching another video, or of reading a book or article on a similar topic.

Feedback from UCLA A/Prof Heather Zinn Brooks:
"At first, it seems totally crazy that increasing r would lead to cycles... if it's describing population growth, why would a bigger r cause a drop in some years? In fact, the magic is in the (1-x_n) factor of the equation, which models a carrying capacity. The idea is that populations are typically resource-limited, so growth can only be supported up to a certain point. Once you think about that, it makes sense that huge growth rates could result in "boom and bust" cycles in the population, because the population would grow faster than their resources would support."

I imagine increasing rabbits also increases wolves, so that probably factors in as well.
Yes
This topic came up when I was studying applied mathematics around 1980: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka-Volterra_equations
Can this be applied to the expanding universe? because it has a growth rate and if I remember right scientists think that that rate has changed?

@@tishafeed8085 I guess lol. My school called it pre-calculus so basically it was algebra+trig.
@@BudEnzo what years/classes? in my highschool (9th-11th year) we did trig+calculus
@gamecube.enthusiast - - i did, but the fundamentals were studied in years 5-9, then it was trigonometry and calculus. Actually, i just realised it depends on what you call 'highschool'
Brilliant especially the final part about different functions. That is new to me. Thanks.
This is a work of genius!! Thank you for making this video!
I am so glad that some lad just woke up one day and decided: "You know what, I should do some research of dripping faucet."
That would be a lad that doesn't get government funding.
weed is good for some things...
You mean, instead of fixing it?
you mean "woken up by a dripping faucet"?
Me: Watches video because I think I'm smart
My brain: Hold on there buckaroo
I feel attacked
Don't worry we're all retarded here. Welcome to the club.
Well how do you think (we) get smart?
LOL....You can actually apply the equation to your comment to see how funny your comment actually is! :)
Trevor Baylis no u cant
Amazing quality of presentation!
Besides being a scientist with msrcellius 'teaching' skills, you are a classic cameraman too!
Grateful.
This is really mind-blowing, I absolutely love it!
This feels like a window into a small part of how the universe works. Its kind of scary and exciting.
Yeah it's very strange... all these formulas that pop up everywhere. I think there's an explanation though.

We don't talk about the Doc, since he f**ked up the timeline for 2020.
Wow doc.. that's heavy
@@davememelandcanada6722 I don't think that was doc.. I think that was biff when he stole the DeLorean
wht is z asix
@@anasaamir5595 If I had to guess it’s probably another axis like the y and x axis except it’s used for 3D shapes.
This is one of the most amazing video I had seen on TH-cam till now
I've not shown any interest in mathematics (or physics for that matter) for a long while, and this somehow sparked up my interest in it again, thanks. Really fascinating stuffs
When the Mandelbrot set rotates: whooaaaahhhhh
5erif meme echoes in my head...
Right!?!?!!
Yeh that was spectacular
"You're not supposed to do that!"
I swear to god, my mind was blown away by that! I had only ever seen the Mandelbrot Set as that 2 dimensional boundary thing, so seeing that it was actually a 3D-thing was insane
I found this incredibly fascinating... but understood incredibly little.
I was interested in it but i will always hate math cuz ths made me fall asleep lol
I understood more than I want, but still less
Yup! Make me want to go learn some math!
I had to write some things down to look up definitions! But interesting
Fibonacci equation.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I can’t understand it fully but my God it still moved me to tears
How absolutely inspiring this channel is! I got lectures about Chaos Theory during my University time, but it's very exciting to get a refresh. I discovered it in Spanish, now I try to watch everything in English to not only learn but also to keep my English up to date. Are there any plans to make the translations also in German, Italian, Portuguese, French and any other? Thanks a lot for sharing, for motivating, for inspiring, for challenging and for keeping us AWAKEN!
I saw the video title and thought “oh suuuuure this will change my life”, but wow I did not expect to be so taken aback by this. Something so fundamental which I’ve never heard about before!
Shilpan Patel so you should subscribe to numberphile
Veritasium: "Students can have a little chaos, as a treat."
literally my teaching strategy
*little a chaos
If you're gonna reference the meme, at least do it right. It's "little a", not "a little".
Make them climb a ladder for it, though
Ben Gardner *le sigh* He DID say pedants were necessary..
Your videos never failed to make me think about what is the purpose of this universe.. why is it there and how it works so perfectly without anyone controlling it..
Excellent video. The ubiquitous emergence of the Feigenbaum constant is just disturbingly, weirdly beautiful.
Why is the water bill so high?
Me: Adjusting the tap into chaos
Chaos is a ladder
L.O.L, same.

Nice lol
The Government+Nestle= Screw You. Pretty easy equation.
I used to notice my sink doing this when I was a small child and always wondered what the heck was going on. This video just solved a 15 year old mystery for me. Thank you!
Yeah, but did it actually ... ?🧐
I think you just gave me a tool I've been looking for. Thank you so much!!
Um dos melhores videos que eu ja vi, muito obrigada por esse conteúdo!!! Meu coração deu uma acelerada vendo o grafico sendo montado e eu conseguindo compreender o quao incrivel isso é. Brabao demais
Sometimes, I feel like I can't even comprehend the almost divine beauty of math. You blew my mind a couple of times in this video...
Anki math is created by humanity
Therefore not divine bro. Don’t forge to pick up your Quran bro 😖 bless
@@gickygackers wtf?
Murica Presents huh
@@Insultthumb I think he means "god did it"...or some such rubbish
The more I learn, the more I realize I don't really know anything!
Ah, so you really have been paying attention! That seems to be one of the more important lessons to learn in life. So, here’s to you, me, and everyone else realizing we know less and less each year! 😀
@@mdestwo Well said!
That's for sure. I always think I'm smart, but a year later I always remember how stupid and dumb I was, and it keeps repeating
Exactly man. But now I'm 100% convinced that I know absolutely nothing.
welcome to the club! :D
That was really a fantastic! Thank you!! I got scared seeing the bifurcation for the first time!
I love James Gleick's Chaos book. It's such an amazing book and I always learn something new from it.
I watched this drunk out my mind and my brain literally blew up
Whatever you do, don't watch the "Infinite Nonrepeating Pattern" video while stoned
@@PFBM86 thanks for the tip, mate
same, bro ))
I think PFBM means watch it drunk and stoned lol
Im Really high ridht now i dont understand anythong but thats v butiful
TH-cam algorithm -
1st stage - sends to people who are actually interested in math. Less views
2nd stage - sends to related viewers. Less views but still constant.
3 stage - Sends to random people on their feed. Fluctuations in view cycle (no negative views so it shoots up)
4 stage (chaos) - recommends to people like me of all people. Millions of views
top comment!!
This observation is actually clever, considering that the algo is an AI
Recursive view count increases!
TH-cam's algorithm decode!
Stage 5: people in the Mandelbrot set
I was already aware of some of this stuff bit had never seen it related so strongly as it is explained here. Amazing
Fascinating! Thank you for this wonderful video.
