[@karolakkolo123]

Good video, but there are small things you could improve to engage less knowledgeable people in the audience. For the integral that defines the gamma function, you could show why the integral is related to factorials by doing some integration by parts and showing how the factorial gets built up. From there you can just use (n-1)! directly, and only then say that since the integral doesn't care about having non-integer inputs, it actually extends the factorial and is known as the Gamma function. That makes it softer on people who know less about special functions. Just some feedback, but other than that I enjoyed the video

[@harrylyme3969]

A thoroughly entertaining video. I realized after 10 seconds that while I understood the meanings of the individual words you used I had no clue whatsoever as to what you were actually talking about. Couple that with formulas that looked like they should have been etched in a sword made it even more enjoyable. You obviously know your subject matter. But for me, this video was akin to watching the 'Dream sequence' in 2001 while listening to Shakespeare in Mongolian. Bravo!

[@archivethearchives]

I enjoyed it very much. Although I really do not have much understanding of proofs and those kinds of mathematical concepts, I appreciated the explanation of the formula for areas of circles and sphere of all dimensions.

[@archivethearchives]

Also, by not having “much understanding” I actually mean I have next to no understanding. 😁

It doesn’t need to make sense, it’s just so satisfying to watch math mathing.

[@wabc2336]

1:44 This proves A = rC/2, however circumference C is often found as a derivative of area A with respect to radius. Assume we do not know that C is linear with respect to r. C = f(r) = dA/dr = C/2 + r/2 dC/dr --> C = r dC/dr --> C/r = dC/dr But we only know that C = f(r) not that C = pr for some constant p d^2 C / (dr)^2 = -C/r^2 + 1/r (dC/dr) = -C/r^2 + 1/r (C/r) = -C/r^2 + C/r^2 = 0 Now we know that dC/dr is constant, because the second derivative is 0. Hence we can say C = pr, p = C/r = dC/dr. And pi would be defined as p.

What a coincidence that the Gaussian bell makes an appearance here... but wait, there are no coincidence in math so there must be a reason!... I get that you might not want to get into the details, but it could've been an opportunity to pose that question to the audience (why are these two things related?)... Also, it would have been nice to talk about how your formula also works for the three dimensional sphere (there you could have talked a bit more about the gamma function)... Cool none the less!

[@kazoeteta9168]

Hi, I'm Aryd from Indonesia. I have a question for u, sir. I found the n-dimensional Area of Sphere is really fascinating, but when I checked the coefficients for the r^n, it starts to decline after n approx 5.257 and converges to zero as n increases. Does it means our universe is actually shrinking after the 5th dimension, or is it possible that sphere doesn't exist in such a very high dimension?

How would this formula be applied when you go above the 4th dimension? It seems like the formula is limiting to the 4th dimension and below. Correct me if I'm wrong though

[@trousersnake81]

at 7:00, the gamma function has input z instead of n

[@NexusCubed2950]

at the end i would've liked to see the equation applied to the 3rd dimension, as on first glance it doesnt seem to work.

[@mosztzsch7007]

It does work on n = 3 because of the Gamma(n/2) term, due to the recursive nature of gamma function, Gamma(x+1) = x•Gamma(x). So Gamma(3/2) is just 1/2•Gamma(1/2). And Gamma(1/2) is just sqrt(pi) which would just cancel a power off the sqrt(pi³) term above into sqrt(pi²) = pi

[@indnwkybrd]

Once you realize that the gamma function at any half-integer argument = some rational number * sqrt(π) then the pieces fall into place. I agree though; I'd have liked to see that discussed as well, as it also explains the pattern where you only have π in the formula at n=2 and n=3 but you suddenly get π² at n=4. On a related note, I felt like there also was a bit of a missed opportunity at the end to discuss the observation that this formula has a local maximum in n--that is, for a given R, there is some dimension n which maximizes the volume, after which the volume converges toward zero. For example, for a unit n-sphere (R=1), the maximal n-volume occurs at n=5... and at n=13, the n-volume even drops below 1.0! There's some interesting underlying intuition there: in higher dimensions, a sphere becomes vanishingly small vs. its circumscribed cube, as space becomes increasingly "stretched out" vs. the n=3 space we are accustomed to.

You haven’t defined the volume for a 4D sphere though 2D sphere has an area, 3D has a volume. It is not immediately clear what “volume” would mean in 4D

Also, there are 4D spherical coordinates as well as the standard 4D Cartesian/Minecraft, polar, and cylindrical coordinates. There are also toric coordinates, that uses tori, or circles with 2 radii, the most common cross-section of a torus is a donut. The formula for volume in 4D spherical coordinates are ⨌(р³ * sin²(φ) * sin(ψ))dрdφdψdθ, where: w = р * cos(φ) ρ = р * sin(φ) z = р * sin(φ) * cos(ψ) r = р * sin(φ) * sin(ψ) x = р * sin(φ) * sin(ψ) * cos(θ) y = р * sin(φ) * sin(ψ) * sin(θ)

[@Orangejuise96]

using this, we can see what 4d looks like. Example: if we can put a 3d object in 2d ( drawing a sphere on paper ) then we can theoretically draw a 4d sphere. Any objections?

[@Robisquick]

Crazy to think that we are actually watching a 4d representation on a 2d screen, which realistically is just 1 dimension of pixels at any given time that scan down really fast through time. But further more, it's actually 0 dimensional pixels quickly firing down a 1 dimensional line and then bumping down a notch 100s of times per second.

I'll give that the gamma function is the most popular extension of the factorials, but I'd argue it's _not_ the most useful. _That_ honor goes to the pi function (no relation to the other pi... mostly). The difference between the gamma function and the pi function is that Π(n) = n! for all ℕatural numbers n, also meaning that Π(z) = Γ(z + 1). This has the nice bonus of simplifying the integral slightly by replacing the t^(z-1) with just t^z. (n/2)Γ(n/2)? You mean Γ(n/2 + 1) = Π(n/2)?

[@joelbraun8584]

I don’t see how this is a meaningfully different extension though - the content of any extension is in how it chooses to fill the gaps, while these two functions do not differ in this respect

[@angeldude101]

@@joelbraun8584 It's a matter of pedagogy. They can do the exact same things, but which is easier to use and teach? I'd argue that the one that more closely aligns with the existing factorial and doesn't have a suspiciously artificial "-1" in its definition is simpler to understand, and as I showed at the bottom, it also yields a simpler formula at the end as a bonus.

[@infernocrusher7573]

Basically the same thing

[@adrin181]

this is almost like the pi vs tau debate

[@angeldude101]

@@adrin181 With pi vs tau, I can understand why both would be used. With the gamma function though, the "z - 1" just feels so artificial and seemingly does nothing but distance the function from its discrete counterpart. While there are cases where pi gives a nicer result than tau, I've never seen a case outside of defining the digamma function where the gamma function gives a nicer result than the pi function.

[@FPVSLO]

[@cliptracer8980]

So to prove the true dimension of a foreign sphere we could attempt to measure it and see how it matches these values. However, possible not all dimensions contribute mass. And in fact most won’t. More likely forms instability governing harmonics. Static. Radiation. Hums. The whoville.

[@jacquilletuskerillion3364]

the fourth dimension is merely the variability of the third dimension and therefore stands for the meter value of time in our physical construct of the universe. If you imagine a cube whose vertices are all expanded by one, you get a self-contained teatract, theoretically a cube that has itself as its core. this says that the fourth dimension is first the mutability of all things and can even cause atoms to exist multiple times even though they are all one and the same and have the same origin

[@shakuntladevi955]

I think like the 1 d sphere have negligible breadth , 2d sphere have negligible height then 3d sphere must have some negligible 4d quantity . All we have to do is to find that quantity and put limit from zero to infinite to get a 4d sphere.
