Sorry Napkinheads, but the solid shown from 0:18 to 0:24 is not a proper mathematical "napkin ring." It shouldn't have flat faces on the top and bottom.

[@1nt3rD1ct0r]

Technically, the math involved here is only at the level you'd learn in a highschool trigonometry class. To be sure, it's not immediately intuitive and even if you knew how all the math involved worked that's not a guarantee you could figure this proof out on your own; but if you really would like to learn more about these kind if things, the math involved would not take very long to learn. I don't know what your education level is, but a single college level algebra class would likely cover more than anything you'd need. As far as Vsauce videos go, this one has a fairly low bar for entry and I'd encourage you to maybe pick up a book or two talking about trigonometry if you don't feel like taking a class. Knowing about angles and some of the more involved proofs for shape structure function has helped me a lot to intuitively understand my surroundings in every day life. It has certainly helped me to visualized objects better and increased my spacial understanding. I wish when I did trig back in high school I paid more attention, maybe learning Calc would have been easier if I didn't botch my basics.

I think the takeaway is that you’re removing more from the bigger object than the smaller one, which is why they have the same volume

[@Hussfromthearea]

I think the takeaway of this comment is that you don't actually understand the mathematics and physics behind it......

[@FireBeam]

@@Hussfromthearea And you do? This video is the dumbest thing I've seen yet.

[@Hussfromthearea]

@FireBeam BRO what? Yes I understand. The equation proved that the size of the sphere is not relevant, if they share the same height the volume that it would take up is the same. This guy is saying "oh he took more from the bigger one", but he needed to take more from the bigger one in order to get a napkin ring that is the same height. This concept is really interesting and if you felt this was stupid, then you should have just closed the video.

[@Hussfromthearea]

@FireBeam also if you deleted your comment, well done, cause I can't see it anymore. For anyone else who is reading this, the guy said "And you do? This video is the dumbest thing I've ever seen yet.".

And actually, if you go through all the calculus (which I did because calculus = fun), or if you just make the insight that h=2r if the height of the napkin ring is the same as the sphere (and therefore the same volume), you can find out pretty easily that the formula for the volume is simply (pi/6)*h^3.

@@EliteTeamKiller2.0 If you have a napkin ring of height h taken from a sphere with radius R, the volume of that napkin ring will only depend on h. So you can just let h = 2r, so that the height of the napkin ring is the same as the height of the sphere, so then no volume is cut out of the sphere. (Edit: typo)

Hello there! I just finished watching the video on "The Science of Awkwardness" by Vsauce and I must say, it was truly fascinating. The way the video tackled the subject of awkwardness from a scientific standpoint was very enlightening. I found the part about "The Spotlight Effect" particularly interesting, as it explained why we often feel like we're being observed or scrutinized even when we're not. The experiments and studies presented in the video really helped to drive home the point. Overall, I thought this was a well-made video that was both informative and entertaining. It's great to see content creators using their platform to spread knowledge and understanding about the human experience. Thank you for sharing this video with me!

Wow you really made me understand this concept (which is not in my syllabus) before my geometry exam.

[@mantacid1221]

I saw this video a long time ago but never forgot it. Now I’ma math tutor and I bring it up with my students every so often. Although I did forget this version of the explanation, and so I’d have to use calculus to prove it, which I imagine must have confused the younger kids.

9:36 The view of the eclipse from "Organ" was amazing.

[@kartiklatthe7677]

"It is called 'napkin ring' because, it looks like a napkin ring" Perfectly explained, VSauce

[@LawofCinema]

"By the way, orange oil is flammable." Thank you Michael.

[@LudicrouslyLiam]

That was my biggest takeaway from the video.

[@Zyhphon]

Yep

[@yojimbo-jack]

The oil not the ring

[@joshiahayash]

He said orange oil

[@devongarcia6603]

Can you smoke it then?

[@Djenx-]

[@RealMudSkipper]

this comment made my day @djenx CR

[@dguy0386]

[@sam_2alexander480]

This idea and the math just blew my mind

[@rivalifritdarc2481]

I don't believe it Vsauce's video with no existential crisis

[@deiadied]

I want Michael to be my uncle and bring up these crazy facts at the dinner table.

[@superidol4670]

[@lahavgafni2642]

I want Michael to be my uncle and do what mine does to me daily ;)

[@jacobe.1651]

*"But what's does this mean for you?"*

[@888macky888]

It’s the same as if a shot of vodka is in a shit glass or a tumbler, their height in the glass is a lot different but so is the width of the glass

[@TorrentialSilver_47]

It’s interesting how Vsauce can make i video where even if I have a 1st grade education, I’d be able to understand almost everything

[@modocrisma2]

This was the most interesting surprise math lesson I’ve ever had.

[@schrutebuck]

(You heard a something rustling in the bushes) (It jumps out at you!) (it’s a surprise math lesson!) “ hey! Vsauce, Michael here “

[@krashsytegaming9222]

Modocrisma its actually geometry 9th grade 😉 im in 10th grade lmao soo

[@halamadruuid2380]

KrashSyteGaming wait what? Are you in america? In my country we learn it at 7th grade

[@neme7895]

Ikr, that's amazing, and somewhat useless in normal life means.

[@pmm1767]

2 vsauce videos that aren't separated by 3 months, ALRIGHT!

[@Gwgitu77]

yeah, seeing so many complaints there and here, meanwhile i'm just happy to see "michael here!"

[@creativecipher]

[@HoutarouOrekiOsu]

I think rhyming the same words is illegal.

[@Lp2QuickFire]

Doctor Robotnik That was such a good joke dude holy shit. You must've been sitting on that one for so long. God bless you finally got to use it. So good

[@stargirlbb1]

Doctor Robotnik that was unnecessary and irrelevant to the conversation

"we're talking about balls. and coring them"

[@Sumrandodude]

Ok so basically for ppl that dont get it a sphere is like this 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 🥛 then you can see that the further from the center the smaller it gets and therefore the shorter, for big spheres the point at which it is that short is so far and thin that it ends up the same volume (assuming both of these are cut from circles. But if you were to remove an entire latitude of earth that isnt hollow it would have way more volume
