Oh no, Matt accidentally made a recursive function of reactions in Python again...

[@Bibibosh]

I clicked on this video because earlier today I was watching it and only got like 10% thru the video. Sorry but I'm not going to watch the rest here, I'm going to numberphile to watch original video. I'm ever so sorry Matt Parker. I love your videos and everything you do. You do everything you do with utmost importance and value to your viewing audience! It took me about 3 minutes to write this message. So I hope that counts towards your total view count! byee3eee and see you in the next video. Okay this message now has taken 4 minutes. Wait make that 4:15 minutes. Ahhh no. 4:25minutrs.. okay I'll stop now!

[@deponentfutures]

I like how Matt's name is being tied to many aspects of magic squares, not because he's spent his life doing groundbreaking research into it, but because of a funny meme video.

[@Yupppi]

You call Parker square a meme? Dear sir, I beg you to take that back.

[@MusicFanatical1]

In 1000 years thanks to the fog of history, Matt will probably be referrred to as "the great magic square theorist, with as many concepts to his name as Euler"

[@thewhitefalcon8539]

​@@jochenreichl796it makes sense that it would be on Matt's page. It will be worrying if it's ever on the magic square page :) The English word for "mathematical bodies" is "mathematical objects" if I understood it right, but most of the time you would say something more specific - you would say what kind of objects they are (number systems or something)

[@sebbo128]

I propose we coin the Parker Meme - when someone's name is attached to a field of work or discipline, not due to the merits of that person's own work in that particular field/discipline, but due to a hilariously unfortunate attempt in such.

[@ImMacke3000]

The Parker Square will never not be funny

[@BrunoBarcelosAlves]

It's amazing how Matt is capable of showing the most sincere admiration and interest by pretending to be upset.

[@jpdemer5]

It shows that he cares.

[@augustus6660]

What gets me is the little smirk after each horrible, horrible, horrible pun when he's trying not to laugh at its horribleness. This is why I love Matt.

[@lasagnahog7695]

I did not know how much I wanted videos of Matt Parker reacting to other people doing math. This is really enjoyable.

[@wtfpwnz0red]

It's 2433 and thanks to these Numberphile videos I finally know why all constructs in math bear either the name "Euler" or "Parker"

[@asheep7797]

Famously, e^oily-macaroni constant was given a name: The Parker-Oily-Macaroni constant.

[@jacovisscher]

16:39 16:41 Is everyone forgetting that the Parker Square doesn't lie on the Parker Surface? Since it doesn't fulfill all conditions (the sum on one diagonal doesn't equal the sum on the other and the rows and columns), and all points on the Parker surface do fulfill this criterion!

[@TitanOfClash]

That's what makes it the Parker surface! It doesn't even match the Parker square.

[@digitig]

It Parker fits, though.

[@OrangeC7]

It's a Parker name for it

[@Trench777]

Matt's look of self-satisfaction when he concludes he's said something clever is priceless.

[@MichaelPetito]

I can't believe I'm going to watch this whole video over again just to see his reactions. 😆

[@jamesgriebler]

SAME LMAO

[@numberphile2]

Will you watch the OTHER reaction video?

I was unaware of this channel!😮😮😮

[@VanMorbir]

Parker square: *exists* "Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see Sallow's"

[@NomenNescio99]

My understanding of the Parker square is that if you try really hard you might almost make it. Or in other words, it is never to late to give up.

[@oz_jones]

"Having a go at it"

[@Eye_Make]

Can we just appreciate either Matt's ability to chew popcorn without noise or Brady's editing of the audio to save our ears from popcorn crunching. :D

[@ricardo.mazeto]

Matt’s life is divided into two eras. The first one is the “hair era”, as he says. 😂

[@scottdebrestian9875]

The haira.

[@unvergebeneid]

I love how quickly Matt goes from "the poor guy was bullied into naming the surface after me" to "cause that's its name!" 😄

[@cycklist]

Really appreciate this Brady! Matt is such a legend. What a good sport.

[@mikew6644]

I was really hoping this was going to be a 10 second video of Matt just saying “it’s hogwash!” Straight to camera 😂

[@Priapos93]

I look forward to the new "grabs popcorn" gifs

[@ed.puckett]

Thank you! I very much liked Professor Várilly-Alvarado with his clear and compelling exposition. Then this, Matt's reaction video, made it all the more fun! You guys are great.

[@JavSusLar]

Matt, let's crack this problem together, you and us, your followers: write some Parker-python code and somebody will make it 10^50 times faster.

[@PietervanderStar]

Parker is like Euler, doesn't matter who did the actual work, we just attribute it to him.

[@medrouabhi5699]

Can you explain more

[@kelpsie]

I love the "yes, okay, I know what's coming" look on Matt's face leading up to the Parker Square.

[@virginiahowardmullan5049]

Having Matt react really makes this video fun and I'm watching the whole thing.....loving it. Thanks Matt and Brady and mathematician who must not be named for making such a great video about magic squares.

He should be named, Anthony Várilly-Alvarado

[@Bronzescorpion]

It is quite nice how evenly spaced out it is: beginning, middle and end.

[@jh-ec7si]

A Parker Surface should have "≠ x3 + x5 + x7" as one of the conditions to preserve the failing diagonal of the Parker Square

[@deliciousrose]

17:44 New merch idea? "Parker surface: lots of good points"

[@deliciousrose]

21:28 Also, love the timing for subtle product placement from Mathsgear

[@itioticginger9520]

I finally burst out laughing at 20:53, for some reason that pun was the one that put me over the edge

[@Axacqk]

That surface in 9 dimensions is just your old and trustworthy parkerbolic squaraboloid.

[@GenericAnimeBoy]

The finite field paper and now this, too! How many more videos before Matt finally has to accept that the Parker Square is now a genuinely important contribution to mathematics?

[@kimiko2547]

I am here for all the "Parker Reaction" videos. I enjoy Numberphile videos a lot, and the commentary is very entertaining.

[@JohnGalt0902]

This really goes to demonstrate Stigler's Law, that no scientific discovery is name after its original discover. Parker Surface.

[@deyfuck]

Should be renamed Parker's Law tbh.

[@nicksamek12]

I was wondering if Matt would give respect to Paper IV, very pleased he did.

[@Gio_Panda]

I find amusing how the Parker Surface is basically a surface that has lots of points, probably none of which are good enough

[@CamMci]

Wow! How incredible is Toby at explaining things!!!

[@stapler942]

"And here we have a Parker triangle. Where do you think that one goes? That's right! It goes in the Parker square hole!"

[@pierrebaillargeon9531]

Matt Parker: I'm full of interesting points. Tony Várilly-Alvarado: but no one finds them satisfying.

[@the2ndblunder]

Matt: Makes a joke about making good point, laughs at his joke afterwards then rewards himself with popcorn 🍿 😂 he's so good 👌🏼

[@nugboy420]

3:32 Matt’s face when he reads what’s on the screen haha

[@SnackMuay]

17:41 Actually, I think it's more fair to simply say "I have a lot of points." the quality of those points is up for debate.

[@oz_jones]

Parker Points

[@lafcursiax]

16:55 I didn't know the Bee Gees were so interested in geometry!

[@LunarcomplexMain]

If I understand this correctly, this all boils down to it's almost impossible that there's a chance for whole number points to appear on some wavy 2D surface, while for higher orders, you'd 100% expect from a wavy 3D object there to be whole number points... right?

[@SeejoCrux]

I love that people emailed Matt Parker and were like "Hey, did you think about doing algebra for this?"

[@rjung_ch]

The "Parker Surface", love it. But wait, there's more....

[@TECHN01200]

Matt's math jokes are hilarious... They are integral to my survival!

[@k0pstl939]

Seems like a pretty derivative joke

[@solar3mpire]

Does the "Parker surface" have hair?

[@oz_jones]

Infinitely many strands of hair

[@toadounetlovesyou]

Matt's facial expressions always crack me up :D

[@DrR0BERT]

OMG. I was watching this and loved the reference to my PhD advisor, Andrew Bremner.

[@umbertorodrigez8213]

If there are a finite number, but an infinite number of scalers, doesn’t that mean that if there was one solution there would be infinitely many, and since there are finitely many there must not be even one?

[@prosperproper6910]

Happy to learn that Parker's blob gets positively curved when dimensions grow !

[@alfonsorodriguez2739]

I was never interested in magic squares but now that I am older, I think I am going to study them. I looked at them today and was asking myself some questions to get my brain rolling. Here are 2 questions that you all might know the answer to: 1. Can you find a 3x3 magic square that a new 3x3 magic square is produced when you square it? (Treat the 3x3 as a matrix and square it) 2. Can you take a 3x3 magic square and define a rotational transformation that at 0 degrees and 360 degrees it is itself and the magic square properties are persevered for all theta values?

[@binglefish_6742]

A derivative work: d(Parker)/dt = -hair

[@WhiteSpatula]

I now consider “Parker”, in scientific and mathematical nomenclature, an homage to Matt Parker, and his exemplary disregard for fear of mistakes within his share of humanity’s search for things unmistakable.

[@LeonidasKaragiannis]

Truly educational. Thanks, Matt.

[@cyberflotsam]

"A lot of maths is feeling things in your bones" missed a golden opportunity for a joke about Napier

[@KuyashiiPlays]

my favorite matt parker reacts video on this channel! (generously)

[@Jacob-mr8if]

Why is this unlisted?

[@frankharr9466]

Very low-key reaction. I'm impressed. I've never had a surface or a blob named after me, so I don't know how I'd react.

[@whatno5090]

One thing he couldve mentioned is that points on the surface with rational coordinates can be scaled up by a common denominator to get a point with integer coordinates. If all the original rational numbers were distinct the point with integer coordinates does that too. The reason this is important is because a lot of times when he references the surface hes actually referencing essentially the surface with all irrational points removed. This is the shape that contains elliptic/rational curves in the way he describes.

[@MicaiahBaron]

It wasn't a maths video, it was a genuine dis track.

[@stephenj9470]

I needed a laugh as I'm feeding my son at 1 am. Thanks for making me almost wake up the family with laughter. The Parker blob and Parker curve section made me just about lose it.

[@briandeschene8424]

Being up at 1AM while living sleep deprived from taking care of a young’un probably contributed to your reaction too. ;-) How do you think I know? :-)

[@iTeerRex]

“I always hope for the best.” - Parker

[@staizer]

What about a cube of cubes? Or larger? Does the minimum dimension increase by one as the n of n goes up?

[@thedoorwall]

On my profile in the videos I have a video about my findings on this problem - specifically focusing on the last digit narrows it down to a specific list of combination types... there will either be a diagonal with numbers ending in 5 and the total will end in 75 or all the numbers will have the same last digit.

[@jamcdonald120]

15:15 funny, I was going to suggest that too!

[@twixerclawford]

The most unfortunate thing about the Parker Surface, is that the point which is associated with the Parker Square isn't even on the Parker Surface

[@WindsorMason]

6 constraints with only 4 unknowns, seems unlikely.

[@WindsorMason]

Looking at three of the constraints a^2+b^2=a^2+c^2 a^2+b^2=a^2+d^2 We get b^2=c^2=d^2. So nope, the only solution is when all of the entries have the same value (up to a change in sign.)

[@josephmarrow5598]

perhaps i misunderstand, but wouldn't a sporadic point that satisfies this have to be part of a curve, since we can take scalar multiples of it?

[@HonkeyKongLive]

Came solely to see what Matt thought of Brady throwing him under the bus with that question lol

[@ricardoabh3242]

Chat gpt knows about Matt lol Yes, I'm aware of Matt Parker's Magic Square of Squares. Matt Parker, a mathematician and popular science communicator, has come up with a specific construction for a 3 by 3 magic square of squares. In his arrangement, the numbers in each cell are perfect squares, and the sums of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal are equal….

[@christopherboyd3311]

So if Fermat's last theorem was that there were no solutions for n>2 in Pythagoras' equation, would the assertion that there is no magic square of squares with n=3 be.... Parker's last thorem? (PS - is there a magic square of squares where n=2? Seems much easier.)

[@2inthemorning]

Unfortunately, no 2x2 magic square exists (with unique elements). If the sum of the first row equals the sum of the first column, then the top right entry must equal the bottom left, so they cannot be unique

[@Peterseli3]

I'm so glad I skipped the original video so I can now watch this and it's all new to me 😃
