OOOOOOOOH IT HURTS! THE PAIN!!! I love it!

[@thomasthetankengine2653]

Huh?

[@aednil]

opnrkqai, he/she never met a chirality he/she didn't like. it's a pun.

[@thomasthetankengine2653]

[@parsnipgo9264]

Great video! “Pfff.. how can you say something is hard to understand if you don’t understand it”

[@yenee94]

Oz A deep

[@FragileBadger]

the way this video was made reminds me of a lot of her old videos... _perfect_ .

[@shortbr3eaf]

Or *all* of her videos.

[@NerdWithLaptop]

Widdershins, slugcats and more! But wait! call now and we’ll give you a…

[@fakjbf3129]

A video about metachirality that doesn't explain metachirality? I hope the second video is chiral to this one.

[@cleveland0624]

Fakjbf haha puns

[@cubethesquid3919]

Ayyyy I see what you did there

[@KaosFireMaker]

Jokes on you, the next video will just be this one played in reverse

[@SilentMystAnon]

Maybe that's the point? Maybe that's why it's meta...

[@twistedsim]

It's metachirality itself. This video is the essence of that.

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Can "Dancing is made of people" be my epitaph?

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Yes I was!

[@MisterAppleEsq]

+ֆהტϣ The intersection of the Venn diagram of Vi Hart fans and Tom Scott fans is probably quite large.

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Make one! Put tea on one side, foods that are chiral on one, and chiral tea in the middle.

[@Cliff86]

Can confirm was also there

[@xela8384]

I'd totally buy a "Dancing is made of People!" t-shirt. Or coffee mug or bumper sticker. But apparently right now I must go watch Tom Scott make tea...

[@vo_9q]

"Maybe you should make a diagram" has the same energy as "You could make a religion about this"

[@Fibonochos]

"Dancing is made of people..." freaking awesome quote

[@stellatedhexahedron6985]

1:41 Hey, those little details are important! People who're flipped (I know at least one of 'em!) are moderately more difficult to do organ transplants on, and other surgeries can be complicated if the doctors don't know about it beforehand. (Note: medicine calls the condition of being flipped situs inversus totalis, for whatever reason)

[@georgiishmakov9588]

I see you too have played hitman

[@cassiopeiasfire6457]

Whoa, that's a thing?? People are amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@thelonedreamer9050]

Agh! That cliffhanger! I must say, this video is really well done! I love the style they've got goin'! Very informative, too! Plus, that cliffhanger at the end was so clever! If it were old I'd want to watch more, but because it's new Imma gonna subscribe! (At least until the next part comes out, unless I like the rest if the channel. Oh! Another win for cliffhangers! Now you've got me to check out your channel!)

[@asdfasdfasdfsdfadfa]

FYI there is a difference with left foot dominant runners and right. It determines which foot you start forward , is even more important during short sprints when you use starting blocks.

[@DustyMusician]

On one hand, there’s a guaranteed new Vi Hart vid! But on the other, I have to wait.

[@PeterVJaspersFayer]

Vintage ViHart. Wonderful. Thank you. THIS is why I subscribe.

[@KVW97]

LOVE this I wish I could retain it all without pausing and going over everything time and time again in my head.

[@soup6482]

Dancing is made of people! And people want to walk forwards ~ Vihart 2018

[@jennyone8829]

Thank you!! This is awesome! 🦢📣💋

[@emilyblenn]

Yaaay!!! You’re back!

[@batfan1939]

True blue ViHart! Best video in years, and I loved your other videos.

[@rabbitpiet7182]

5:49 starting blocks

[@lukestudt7638]

I love your videos. They are so fun and interesting.

[@ruthacury7351]

Can't wait for the next video in 10 months!

[@Isaac-mc5so]

I'm not even mad there's a part two because it means more Vihart

[@9072997]

Your style is fantastic and engaging

[@batya7]

ViHart- this was a difficult one to wrap my head around...then you gave us a cliff hanger!

[@zooblestyx]

If I see footsteps in snow, I always walk next to them, so it looks like someone bunny hopped

[@koalbent]

YAY NEW VIHART VIDEO!!

[@mintikkuma]

Your doodles are so cute

[@Gamer-wu3ty]

I always understand the beginning of the video and only realise at the end that I have no idea what’s going on but have just been listening to the sound of your voice

[@raaghavsaxena3884]

Yaaaaaaaas this is the kind of content I subbed for Zis is GREAT!!!

[@kcloudz8182]

I feel like the engineer verstion of chirality is handedness. Before Vihart i never heard of chirality but we talked about handedness all the time, like pointing vecoctors / right hand rule

[@falnica]

I love your work, but I don't like cliffhangers, but I like them, because that means one more video of yours

[@fabiosoares6474]

welcome baaaaaaaaack!!! miss ya ;)

[@vm6615]

Now I kind of understand symmetry. Thanks Vi

[@theopirsc6151]

hi! love your vids!

[@youmebothorneither]

Why thank you for blessing us with another video goddess of math.

[@eatingsfun]

The techniques blasted this channel into the 21st century.

[@flamegamer9034]

I love ur vids there so kewl I learn from u more than my teacher

[@veggiedragon1000]

Vihart how could you do this to us? A video called "Metachirality?" And you don't explain what it is? The suspense! Ah well, guess I'll have to Google it...

[@Sztefa001]

Don't lie to yourself, you know it won't be the same :v

[@parkers.8748]

Sztefa001 It’ll be chiral!

[@veggiedragon1000]

Sztefa001 It won't...

[@veggiedragon1000]

Parker S. Also you are the best

[@havesomecarrots]

aw hell ya new vihart

[@DCice13]

Wow you great at drawing hands, and don't get me started on how your able to make a drawing rotate. Wizard Vihart

[@mr.cheese6667]

“So say you’re me” I WISH

[@LimeGreenTeknii]

I didn't know I was going to have the urge to Google search metachirality today

[@mythikbeast6404]

ViHart should guest write a Nightvale episode script.

[@Roshkin]

Viheart has the best techniques

[@adityassrana]

Nicky brought me here! So happy!

[@brunoandrades5530]

That the path of foot prints is infinite, doesn't mean that it doesn't have a first print, take the set of the countable numbers for example, it's infinite, but yet, it still has a first element

[@Ruthavecflute]

We could get round that by saying that it extends infinitely in both directions.

[@chrismanuel9768]

-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3... Where's the first one in which direction? I'll show you one before or after

[@brunoandrades5530]

Chris Manuel I'm not saying all infinite sets have a first element, I'm just saying that being infinite isn't equivalent to don't having a first element

[@johnthedork723]

“Dancing is made of people!” ~ViHart, 2018

[@paulinah9182]

I don't understand a word, but I really love Vi :D

[@0xhba]

Great video ! Now back to hibernation until the next one.

[@kirstendeuser7041]

Vihart: "Does the right foot go first, or the left foot." Band kids: "LEFT!"

[@maxximumb]

dp - keyboard symmetry.

[@maxthexpfarmer3957]

That's rotational symmetry.

No now we have a 2 month cliffhanger

[@jetstream222]

You're giving me tattoo ideas

[@doomfatlikesbluesphere9984]

Those dotted lines make me want to fold things in half

[@DagaraLP]

NEW VIDEO!!!!!

[@milokiss8276]

Huh. New vi-d. Rare. Aaaaand it's a cliffhanger.

[@snaildreamzzz2881]

"Dancing is made of people, and people want to go forward"

[@ohwellhey6221]

My brain is melting.

[@watchspotting]

“If you don’t understand it how can you know it’s hard to understand?” 🤔

[@condorboss3339]

If you are going to use widdershins for counterclockwise, you should use deasil for clockwise.

[@seeingdragons4319]

ok ... I admit it ... I'm in love with Vi Hart

[@slimeystudios9721]

Me: *just woke up* Me: *gets my phone* Me: *sees vihart video* Me: OMG YASS

[@ToriC524]

hey this was posted the day before my birthday

[@leaderoffx2642]

vi hart I love ur vids

[@surpeme.cherrios230]

I love ur vids

[@yokaii7109]

love u!!!!!!!

[@cameronc7403]

"and umm, it's poison"... sounds fun: :DDD

[@WillToWinvlog]

Why hello again Vihart!

[@aliceland8612]

Ohh new vid

[@edwardfanboy]

Metachirality is when a thing is chiral and also it's mirror image is symmetric in a different way from the original (according to Wikipedia). Also the definition of 'different way' is complicated.

[@AnssiArpiainen]

Let’s make a DIAGRAM! the old vi is back!!!

[@lovebugbabydolls8558]

Awesome!!!!!!! I feel so early! Lols!

[@HalfdanReschat]

A Vihart video with a cliffhanger? :-o

[@literally-no-one9587]

OMG your alive

[@unknowndeviceconnected]

On time.

[@annys.5083]

Vi, you should be on a podcast or something. You're good at talking.

[@bfhan4959]

It’s a miracle

[@RicochetRita]

"Widdershins!" :-D

[@stanletters]

I don’t know what that word is, imma watch this anyway.

[@shad0wchateau]

That snail

[@bethmarie3206]

Wow

[@spirallingooc]

Deep....

[@Saryana0]

*Maybe you should make a diagram.*

[@John-Smlth]

We could make a religion out of this.

[@angeldude101]

*_"We must create a diagram!"_* - Vihart (paraphrasing Richard Feynman)

[@veerenthakkar2581]

John Smith BILL WURTZ!

[@lexiwolfe651]

Really, it's not that hard - *no. D i a g r a m*

[@PineaFan]

Call it a saryana diagram

[@Saryana0]

This seems like a good time to break the 4th dimension so I can learn what metachirality actually is.

[@karlols2321]

She uploaded 3 weeks ago, it hasnt even been that long

[@ieuanhunt552]

There are kind of righty and lefty foot. If there are no obstacles changing the way you walk you will always prefer to put your left or your right foot forward. If you stand normal and close your eyes then lean forward so your just about to fall your instincts will be to step forward this also proves 'footedness' this can inform how you stand when on a surfboard. There is also left or right bias in Football. Depending on which foot you prefer to kick with.

[@bighugejake]

That's an interesting idea. You're describing something like "functional asymmetries" which for animals probably originate in our brains and nervous systems. It's true for most sports (hockey, skateboarding, baseball, etc.)

[@ieuanhunt552]

bighugejake yup I'm not much of a maths nerd. More a physiology nerd. So when she said there is no left, right foot bias I noticed it and wanted to point it out.

[@LimeyLassen]

I learned I'm left-footed by how I jump off of things.

[@Michael_Pereira]

leuan Hunt True, but the point in the video was that the line of footsteps was infinite, meaning there was never a first right or left foot

[@oledakaajel]

Video is titled Metachirality Video is not about Metachirality

[@gamerwizard69]

its titled metachirality? it could have be about metachirality but it was up in the air so technically she wasnt lying. sure itd be more fair to say metachirality part 1 but whats the fun in that?

[@oliearomin]

wow cool video see you guys next century

[@RK-yg7ne]

Yup

[@marlonyo]

i place my bet on august of this year i like to play risky

[@migfrarummet1907]

Vihart is just like your grandparrent's siblings: you don't see them very often, but when you do it's super nice!

[@oof-rr5nf]

Cookie- xD

[@non-pe8xn]

OH NO WAITING UNTIL NEXT TIME is not my speciality

[@fakelars]

I cant explain How much i love You, vihart Id Buy slugcat Merch :3

[@elijahwagner9881]

I love videos just like this!! It reminds me of your old “doodling in math class” videos. Keep up with the amazing and consistent uploads!!! Ily

[@remithefrog350]

Thank you so much for making these videos! You're my favorite youtuber, and because of you I kind of want to become a mathematician.

[@AlvinBalvin321]

It just makes me so happy when viHart uploads

[@idd_cutie1274]

This was really great and refreshing. Your recent videos have been entertaining, but not as much as this. Very intriguing. Will be happy to see the second half, and more idea like this one :) ViHart's back :)
