What would happen if we dropped the objects from a distance in a vacuum where the center of mass of the falling object and earth was above the surface of the earth. It would seem that what we are trying to detect via the experiment is the difference in mass dependent time dilation between two minuscule masses. It would seem akin to trying to measure the difference in a second between a stationary person and a person moving at geologic speeds. It would also seem important the setup of the objects being dropped. Is it a single 3 body system or 2 distinct 2 body systems. It would also seem important what unit of time is being used to make the measurement and how accurately we can measure the unit. If we measure the rate of change in distance using a time unit of centuries short durations of time might appear the same but not be equal.

@39:46 “like a light being on and off at the same time”. Is actually a very good example. If you watch incandescent lights in slow motion you can see them turning on and off as the phases change.. but it is not visible to the naked eye. So, it all depends on what you use to measure something with. Which in turn will also affect its state….

Well, with the Barber's Paradox and the clipper/not clipper set paradox, can't we create a third set for those elements that fit neither set? _And,_ if a person shaves himself then isn't he in fact _also_ a barber? For me, 'mathematics' is becoming more and more like a sophisticated 'word-game' that produces descriptions so precise that they lead to paradoxes thus necessitating _new_ descriptions which themselves eventually lead to a paradox and on and to until we end up with an infinite number of descriptions to describe a finite set of elements. What if the barber goes to _another_ barber in order to be shaved: does that mean he is _not_ in fact a barber? This is why we get absurdities such as 'infinitely dense' singularities and so forth.In other words, I am saying that there is an 'Ultraviolet Catastrophe' embedded in the roots of _any_ descriptive language which, I would argue, is what lead to 'discovery'. Just a quick philosophical point. :)

Baloney, shaloney. You are proving preconceived ideas. Fermat theorem,was it discovered? Dr Nasir Fazal gold medalist Cambridge USA.

One date no one can steal from me or take it away however

This series and the way concepts are explained is enjoyable but not patronising. Hannah Fry makes people interested in stuff they may have assumed they weren't otherwise. Bring it on. If its too lowbrow for you you may have missed the point of why this series existed in the first place. I love this. Bye.

Why do we question the existence of math, but we don't question, in the same way, the existence of color, shape, etc... It's all the doing of our own consciousness.

You won't actually be able to understand mathematics until you can understand that all human -invented notions of mathematics are human construct to represent human subjective understanding of the physical universe. Therefore, they are extremely limited, and applicable to only subjective reality created by humans . If you can't see that there are numerous flaws and contradictions in such human invented notions, you are merely like a photocopying machine, or a parrot repeating some text line without having any clue of its actual meaning.

It's so shaky that I always consider it sceptically. Many things will turn out to be non-computational.

I like maths. But, I love Hannah. 😊

You’re building a dichotomy that does not exist. There are people who sometimes shave themselves and sometimes don’t.

I'm here for the ginger...

Just wondering where the mounds and lakes are that Hannah walks around. I live in Australia

that accent is like 5 to 8 at least. i'd integrate that.

holy f that thumbnail. 5 years of that face.

6:07 I hate she's having to burn numbers for warmth at a hobo camp.

Don't bother with this episode, she just shakes an electromagnetic stick for an hour.

Her attractiveness seems to be in superposition, neither hot, nor not hot.

Am I the only one that thinks "Maths" sounds funny? What's the proper short-hand, maths or math? Google and microsoft seem to think it's math, however the full word is mathematics, not mathematic. English is so weird. mathemati? Mathi? 🤣😅

I remember watching this on Da Vinci kids.Though I'm sure there are little, ignorable variations but the narrative is still the same. It honestly have me a new perspective of the world. I just love you soo much Prof. Hannah Fry

You can't say BBC and have a redhead with a thumbnail like that bro

The way pacman videogame is programmed has absolutely nothing to do with the way a doughnut wraps around. Otherwise nice program.

Maths?

We see math in the world around us and the universe because we invented it. Math lives in the human mind.

The thumbnail looks like she's gettin' railed from behind.. maybe fix that.

Duz ur everyday smacked head, prostitute, poor person, give a fuck

Math was invented just through natural observations and our need to quantize everything

Learn all the maths!!!

i can do annualised returns hehe

Not invented or discovered, but evolved.

Math is a itch that cant be scratched

For the 100th time, it’s MATH….not MATHS.

Do in a 4 (or more?) dimensional world more than only 5 Platonic solids exist?

Which rollercoaster is at the start?

With "such" a teacher... would have loved math classes!

Entangled particles do not communicate instantaneously as nothing can travel faster than the speed of light or causality within the universe even though the universe itself can expand faster trhan the speed of light. Also I think Maths is invented by us as we only communicate it through languages that are also a human invention. That the universe then seems to exhibit properties that we can describe with our symbols is perfectly logical.

The hammer vs feather experiment is flawed for two reasons. 1. The moon is round and the earth is flat. 2. The moon landing is fake.

Ok, hate to break it to y'all, but there's a specific region of the brain associated with recognizing pokemon. Hannah having a region of her brain associated with math means literally nothing, because the brain adapts to whatever you do on a regular basis, and Hannah does math more than she plays Pokemon.

I need her to lend her voice chat gpt so I can enjoy smart well spoken British lady giving me pillow talk (I'm gay so not in a weird way) while I try to relax.

A barber who is shaved by another barber does not shave himself.

I love the captions for this episode which referred to Kurt Goedel as Kurt Girdle on several different occasions.

Invented by humans

Annoyingly, subtitles turn on by themselves with the video

Nice relaxing nonsense -- but no, not any "mystery" to be "solved." The relationship between abstract thought and humans' external reality is a permanent fact of our existence, about which cultures will have a flux of ideas and feelings as long as we all exist -- but "sollving" it all is a simple misuse of the word "solve."

Why the thumbnail look sus

Interesting, but I hate how they keep saying maths.....it's offensive, and she should be extradited here and made to learn American English.

I solidly argue that the Sphere is the 6th (or 0th) Platonic Solid. All faces, edges, and vertices are identical, and the angles are all the same as well.

Intelligent, conversationalist, beautiful, lovely voice, humorous, wonderfully freckled, and adventurous, the only thing preventing you from being the perfect woman is you're not a redhead... Oh, wait, you actually are one! As I said, literally perfect! Try and convince me otherwise.

I will give the answer to why there are mathematical patterns in all things, But you won't accept it! Because it's to difficult for most to comprehend..are you ready ...There is a supreme intelligence that created the universe, and we are simply too small and insignificant to comprehend, we can only understand this entity at a very basic level, and that intelligence is known as GOD OUR FATHER.
