This is equally funny and horrifying. I had a teacher like this guy. We've ALL had a teacher like this guy. Mine was a microbiology professor. On the final exam, he had a question that said "are red blood cells diploid or haploid?" ....If you're a biologist like me, you just facepalmed. Diploid/haploid refers to the number of chromosomes within the nucleus. Red blood cells don't HAVE a nucleus. I went up to him and asked if it was a trick question, he said no. I told him that RBCs have no nucleus. His response: "......Are you sure?" 🤦🏼‍♀️

True we've all had weirdos for teachers. Had a Physics teacher who viewed Science™ in an extreme cult-like regard. Especially the wacky theories about black holes and stuff we cannot confirm; all speculation... That was undeniable truth because {St. Scientist So-and-so} said so! -- which defeats the point of scientific truth...? I'd ask him about when Science™ was wrong in whatever the latest discovery/theory it was at the time (mid 2000's, can't remember what it was) and he puts a big grin on and replies "Well. That's just science! 😊" Incredibly close-minded for someone who is supposed to be curious and open. When someone challenges anything outside the box, you're a heretic -- until it turns out we were thinking about it all wrong -- "Oh well! Tee-hee." Ugh. He was such a self-absorbed douchebag about being 'right' all the time that his standards would change just to 'prove' you were wrong even if you did everything right & followed instructions. You could argue with him the grass is green but he'd comeback with saying you never specified if it was Forest Green or Leaf Green. Therefore you are wrong.

red blood cells have a nucleus before they reach the final phase of their life cycle. so its a case of being both wrong and right.

If he means the Progenitor Cells than its a Diploid, P.S Proerythrocytes to Normoblasts have a Nuclius which is removed by the Normoblast stage so the RBC can have its Discoid Shape and carry more Hemoglobin

​​@@davethompson3326RBCs at least in its Progenitor Stages do have a Nucleus at one point they are diploid too like most Cells but as it Matures that Nucleus is Removed, So a normal, non cancerous Mature RBC should never have a Nucleus.

It's both infinity and minus infinity at the same time because the right hand and left hand limits tend to different values, thus making lim(1/x) when x → 0 undefined.

I understand that, it’s just that most physicist I know would just say that it’s equal to infinity. Yes it’s undefined because it’s both plus or minutes infinity, but a physicist would just say infinity most of the time

[@SymonOnua]

Seen a few people claim this isn't a Keter class SCP, and I feel it's due to them not realizing what the end means. It's stated that 4769 is remembering past simulations even after he is reset. This means that they can't contain him indefinitely without constantly changing how they reset him, resetting at a minimum, etc. He's not being contained by euclidian means anymore. They're having to think outside normal standards in order to ensure he stays sedated and under control.

@@aribantala And again, none of that addresses the primary issue that a single typo or misplaced decimal from the guy makes reality unravel accidentally. THAT is the problem.

All it would take is a bad night's sleep or catching the flu, and one moment of brain fuzz while thinking about a physics equation, then BOOM the 3rd dimension no longer exists in our reality. It's why they've got him in the simulation in the first place. So that his whoopsies don't unmake the real universe by accident. The experiments in the simulation did exactly what they were supposed to do, which was determine the extent of his ability and range to alter reality. Once they determined there was virtually no limit to it and that he can alter physics on a galactic to universal scale O5 put an end to the testing. The bottom line, he's entirely too dangerous to just let roam free outside of anything other than "the Matrix". And to be honest, it's a hell of a lot more ethical and humane to have spent the resources and effort to create a Matrix level simulation just for him. Especially when simply keeping him in a dreamless medically induced coma (like has been done with other dangerous SSCPs) is infinitely easier and less prone to mechanical failure.

@@OverworkedITGuy "The Foundation can train him to make no more typos through the simulations" "That doesn't help the typos" 🤨 Okay then, whatever suits you

[@enider]

@@aribantala You cannot train away human error. Even the best writers and spekaers in the world with photographic memory can still misstype on a keyboard or misspeak. And if he does so at the wrong time it´s bye bye universe. Frankly the safest thing they could do would be "terminating" him but they have chosen the most humane option amongst what they have avalible instead.

Reminds me of a calculus professor who we caught regularly making arithmetic errors in class. Stopped going to that class, and still got a B on the final.

[@DakuJTenshi]

I just love that the doctor was like for shits and giggles divide by 0 juudt to see what happens

[@mathieuleader8601]

this professor is like a living breathing version of Murphy's Law

[@LostLargeCats]

More like Mandela effect

[@rubystone9074]

He kinda sounds like a Dr. Wondertainment creation for children's education lol

[@S0ulGh0st]

The only reason not to terminate this one is a far off hipotetical chance of having him overruling some very specific thing in a very specific containment breach or other kind of interaction between the Foundation and a GOI or another anomaly not yet contained.

Are we just gonna ignore the cray-1 supercomputer in the background of the thumbnail? That was the fastest supercomputer of the time beating out the previous competition by an order of magnitude, plus they were based in Chippewa falls Wisconsin not far from my hometown...

[@nyarparablepsis872]

Imagine talking to that guy when you're high and watching the awesome stuff that happens, before possibly dying in a really unique way.

[@ecurps1]

He tries to explain the 4th Dimension. "It's easier with a visual aide." Turns your physical body into a tesseract while you're still fully aware & cognizant.

[@jwalster9412]

I find on interesting that he is a physics teacher, he apparently really just wants to be a physics teacher, Even if that means that he's terrible at it, so every student he's taught doesn't do well in his class apparently.

Happy Sunday doctor

"milliseconds minus 2" it hurts

I was looking for this comment

[@NerdyAngel1989]

You know him not noticing or being able to understand that he changed something could be his mind trying to protect itself.

[@LoblueHaze]

What the hell was their plan if the test didn't end in the simulation but also affected the real world?

[@garrettrupska7622]

Always loved your vids and I can't wait to watch the new ones you post when I get the chance!!!! You're amazing and I hope you have a good day 😊

[@ThatReplyGuy]

Loved the overt dig at sustainable nuclear fusion.

[@nazkar_]

reality benders my beloved... they're always funny. Great work as always!

[@fabiola4166]

Ah! so that was my professor when I was trying to get my physics degree! that explains why I was great at physics so I decided to study physics then I sucked so bad at physics while studying physics and why I am now great at physics again now that I am studying something else because I had a mental breakdown after feeling like I lost the "Good at physics and math" part of myself :D!

[@Mephiestopholes]

Your accent. Glorious. Bro love. I couldn't Irish the same.

[@kurenian]

Bruh of course SCP 4769’s initial error was ignoring friction on a road with cars. Just lets hope no one tells him about spherical cows

[@willmccutcheon218]

We're the laws of physics only changing within the simulation? And the sim. reactor was overheating from the massive changes it had to compensate for, or did he literally change the gravity of earth but the simulation quickly reset his chalk board

[@nomadtv6009]

I love this site. Nothing better when heading to bed than a good soothing Volgun Playlist.

[@MtnNerd]

I love the detail that he's really bad at physics and no one remembers hiring him. So he's just some guy who likes physics and also happens to be a reality bender

[@toast6375]

No, he’s good at physic, just bad at everything else

[@MtnNerd]

@@toast6375 If he was, he wouldn't make all those math mistakes. Those are some pretty simple equations.

[@MouldMadeMind]

@@MtnNerd if he constandly made mistakes he would have already destroyed the universe.

[@JohnBender1313]

16:13-16:27 Hahaha!!! He just asked a super computer mixed with a being that can change or end the universe with a statemwnt to devide by 0 and they both came back error like a calculator. 😂😂😂

[@Gfish17]

That simulation won't hold for long at this rate.
