I went to Brain Candy in 2017. The main focus of the show was air. Just 8th grade level air science. There was a few segues of Michael voguing to non-copyrighted house music which was unarguably the best part of the show. Worth the $25 but pretty disorienting. Had to go to the bathroom halfway through to make sure I wasn’t having an LSD flashback.

It definitely looks like that, but what he is really doing is staring down the finish line so he can make his best judgment of which piece hit the end first.
9:05 is so wholesome “I got some protractors there” “Oh oooh” “You’ve got a compass extension” “I’ve got all sorts of things” “I feel so guilty this is a dream of mine come true”
This is fun. I recall studying cycloids in college, and proving they were fastest with calculus. We also performed experiments in physics lab where we used gravity's acceleration to observe them. We even ventured into the topic of rotational inertia.
Adam is so impressive Michael explained his thing and he immediately knew what to do, he started planning and building, and what do you know, it worked
you are one of many people on youtube who think videos arent planned, choreographed, editted and THEN posted. you really think this dude walked up to adam without planning and went: he.... lets build something and record it.

FUN FACT: The brachistochrone curve also works in reverse too! To reach orbit rockets must follow the fastest path to space before their fuel runs out. Rockets launch vertically to get above the atmosphere but then pitch down to fly horizontally above the earth’s surface. How do they know when to start pitching and at what rate? The Brachistochrone! 🚀
great..can you link any video related to it and it impresses me that how maths formulas are greatly beneficial and applied in a larger way and it works as we think in perfection!
Omg ur so ignorantttt. It’s very possible that the four sides are not exactly equal in lenght, and that the angle of all four corners does not measure exactly 100 gradians. If it is not a square then it would not give the correct results in his demonstration. However the humans visual system is not accurate to the level of this imperfection and thus, michael can use it for his demonstration as a rough version of a square. Check your privileges before you say something this insulting again
I know it's a pretty old video, but this is definitely one of my favourite things you've ever done, because of how it takes a mathematical proof and makes it real so even people who don't understand the math can look at it and get that it's true. I've rewatched this 4-5 times and will never get tired of it. lol You might say, brain candy videos like this, is a Tautochrone in that it brings mathematically-inclined people and those who are less-so together in something they can get and enjoy.
no. light does not obey his law. his law defines characteristics of light. laws can be changed, but forces of nature are constant. of he changes his law to say " light slows down at red lights and does not like cheese", light does not obey. his law just becomes an unproven theory and Einstein beats him up for his lunch money on the playground. lol
One thing that I find interesting about brachistochrome experiments that’s never brought up is that if they tried the three-different-starting-points drop with the really deep curve they made earlier, the wheel at the highest point would hit the bottom first. The brachristochrome is truly neutral.
2 is often forgotten. I'm not a big 3 man, myself (I'd take 2 over 3). But I think most would agree that plain, old Vsauce is the biggest standout of the group. Still, all great channels.
Vsauce made me both the smartest guy in my school for knowing ridiculous things that no one my age ever thought about, and the dumbest by academic standards because I spent all of my time studying Brachistochrone curves rather than what was actually in my exam papers.

avox. too bad he's a liberal
avox. and with such a simple design, I don't think it could be made any simpler.

pmm4177 Lol political idealogues were across the board with intelligent inventors and engineers. Don't let cloud you
Me: "Hey Michael you wanna roll outta here for a bit and grab food?"
Michael: "Sure but what is... rolling.
*side tangent for 20 minutes*"
Me: "Michael, please, not now."
Michael: "'Now', 'now' is...everywhere. And everytime."
Me: "Why are we friends?"
Jo The Joker what are... friend. *Music starts*
They see me rollin', they hatin', but what is... hatin'?
Eric Cartman but what is a tangent?
He takes weeks or months to write his content.
@8:28 when Michael said "and he said...." TH-cam showed me an ad starting with "I don't have enough money" 😂😂😂😂. I'm dying 😂😂😂
What! I got an ad too! But it only said "Delicious snacks are always welcome"
@@emilelesaffre they are recommended ads and sometimes their time and place can be hilarious
Pretty sure you can place where the ads are in the editor if you are monetized.
Michael did a little trolling!
@@BromeoWuggles yeah so he can choose where the ad is but not what the ad is
Mine said "you've been lied to"
I love how Michael just stares into the slow motion camera xD
josh11735 I was wondering if anyone else noticed
Unauthorized Genocide Noticed it!
Unauthorized Genocide I was watching the video. So I noticed
Right? I just laughed so hard. His reactionless face was like (nothing here to see, its just law of physics, its cool its just basic stuff) lol
That stare at 23.39 is like, "look, kids - this how science is done. YOLO."
Glad to see the white room didn't fuck you up too much Michel
breden ritter probably recorded before the white room
yeah i was a bit scared of that white room permanently fucking Michael to a noticable degree
GameSupport Probably recorded after the white room, I think that the white room have to have a whole series recorded after it and that series is complete now I believe. Conclusion: the white room could be easily recorded like 3 months ago.
Yes
breden ritter they mentioned Christmas so I guess it was recorded around then
1:34 When the music stars you know shit is getting real...
I know it is. I`ve been watching Michaels videos for a while now.
Hey everyone! I'm doing a special event where I will be subscribing to the first 50 people who subscribe to me! I'm watching the list but also comment and let me know! Come get your free subscriber :D
it is always when he is asking a question the music starts =)
I guess the music is a star now.
FUN FACT: The brachistochrone curve also works in reverse too! To reach orbit rockets must follow the fastest path to space before their fuel runs out.
Rockets launch vertically to get above the atmosphere but then pitch down to fly horizontally above the earth’s surface. How do they know when to start pitching and at what rate? The Brachistochrone! 🚀
great..can you link any video related to it
and it impresses me that how maths formulas are greatly beneficial and applied in a larger way and it works as we think in perfection!
"But what is...... rolling?" *music starts*
ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING

here's the story
about a little guy that lives in a gay world
if everyone on earth held hands around the earth, a Significant amount of them would drown
I thought they'd actually be in space? So they'd all suffocate then...
Josiah Jackson fair point
They'd also look hella gay
Josiah Jackson I was thinking about that. Lmao
78.7 percent of them, at least.
4:02: "Here's a square, say this is a square"
Hmm yes the floor here is made out of floor.
He means a perfect square, the “square” he was using was a little bit more of a rectangle
This is a tree. You can tell by the way it is
10 secs before "this thing is a thing"
No its quite clearly a tyrannosaurus rex.
it wasnt a perfect square this is y
Vsauce is the only youtuber who can completely switch the subject in a matter of moments and still have it make complete sense.
Michael : "Say this is a square"
Square: Is a square
4:00
Or is it?
@@maxwikman1709 well played my friend
Omg ur so ignorantttt. It’s very possible that the four sides are not exactly equal in lenght, and that the angle of all four corners does not measure exactly 100 gradians. If it is not a square then it would not give the correct results in his demonstration. However the humans visual system is not accurate to the level of this imperfection and thus, michael can use it for his demonstration as a rough version of a square. Check your privileges before you say something this insulting again
@@HGraabæk thank you Sucrose Boy, I'll be sure this won't happen again, goodbye
@@marcosvenegas1179 im sure that you will be able to find forgiveness both with michael, and the gods of polygons. May peace be with you
I know it's a pretty old video, but this is definitely one of my favourite things you've ever done, because of how it takes a mathematical proof and makes it real so even people who don't understand the math can look at it and get that it's true.
I've rewatched this 4-5 times and will never get tired of it. lol
You might say, brain candy videos like this, is a Tautochrone in that it brings mathematically-inclined people and those who are less-so together in something they can get and enjoy.
that's the point of most educational videos on youtube
SAMEE
Imagine saying that 75 years from now. 😄
Its actually one of his newer videos. He used to upload alot more often.
Same
Can't look at this guy the same way after watching him and idubbz
Nicholas Z. Wait what???
Nicholas Z. Lol same
iduBBBz, three Bs.
KatlinGamerGirl V yep he was with edupz
*tries hoverboard
"oh, I-Ian"
Love both Vsauce and Veritasium, but I find this explanation of the brachistochrone much more intuitive.
Square wheels seem like a cheaper way to fix the UK's pothole problem.
Well, he’s done it. Vsauce has officially made a 20+ minute video on rolling circles
MangoTube, with 6 mil views......
You mean rolling circools?
Man I wish I had a law named after me, cuz some guy named Snell has LIGHT obeying his law. Who else can say light always obeys their law?
Get smart then
MuffMuncher69blazeIt you can't just "get smart"
no. light does not obey his law. his law defines characteristics of light.
laws can be changed, but forces of nature are constant. of he changes his law to say " light slows down at red lights and does not like cheese", light does not obey. his law just becomes an unproven theory and Einstein beats him up for his lunch money on the playground. lol
D3X | Editor once we master genetic engineering you can... maybe.
Thanks for explaining the joke.
One thing that I find interesting about brachistochrome experiments that’s never brought up is that if they tried the three-different-starting-points drop with the really deep curve they made earlier, the wheel at the highest point would hit the bottom first. The brachristochrome is truly neutral.
In a brachistochrone race, everyone is a winner.
Chris Vise that means its *OUR* brachistochrone race *COMRADE*
It’s a win-win race for sure
Oldman EstimanJr. *Que USSR national anthem
In a progressive brachistochrone race test, everyone wins because everyone is special
but in a brachistochrone race war, no one is ...
1:33 Michael: "But what is rolling?"
Music: "Op, that's my cue."
You’re from Michigan, or you’re an imposter.
Vsauce: causes an existential crisis
Vsauce2: like regular science channel
Vsauce3: makes you question things around you
Carlminion I had no idea Vsauce 2 existsed.
Justin Brantley Wait you knew about Vsauce 3 though?
2 is often forgotten. I'm not a big 3 man, myself (I'd take 2 over 3). But I think most would agree that plain, old Vsauce is the biggest standout of the group. Still, all great channels.
Carlminion 1>3>2. Just my opinion. Jake 's videos are visually the most interesting.
Aditya Patel If you like Jake the most, you did that wrong.
Vsauce made me both the smartest guy in my school for knowing ridiculous things that no one my age ever thought about, and the dumbest by academic standards because I spent all of my time studying Brachistochrone curves rather than what was actually in my exam papers.
People forget that Michael's first channel was called "Pooplicker888". What a hero
glonik10 best name
HAHA whatthefk so cool
glonik10 he is my hero 😍😍😍
On the Key of Awesome channel he worked as the Bearded Nun
almost every time someone writes my first name they spell it like that
get yourself someone that reacts to you the same way that michael reacts to protractors 9:06
Nah buddy no one I’ve seen other then them say that
"My dream...I just want a curve that things roll down." Damn 😃
“Oooooh”
Oooooohhh
I'd like math only if Micheal was my teacher.
The Happy Cat Well you would only have class like once every two months lol
I mean, if you're here watching this, Michael IS your math teacher.
The Happy Cat I wouldn't. I feel itchy all over looking at that sweater. Not to mention I feel hot just looking at it. There are just a very, very tiny portion of men that can pull off a sweater and he is not one of them.
it is maths
Katie Kat stfu
