The title should change because I feel a lot of you guys missed the point of the video. He gives Plato example ephasizes the young slave boy and the other character of the story didn't know the hidden potential UNTIL presented with a question from and outside force. In his story he's the slave boy. Giving examples of how he since a child always had something pulling at him but his potential wasnt unlocked until he himself went to seek for answers from the universe instead of waiting for the universe to ask questions He's encouraging people to engage in seeking the questions to ask to help them get closer to their goals and unlocking their full potential... But this is just my opinion how I perceived this vid.

The math part of this monologue is the sort of stuff that should precede any semester of any math class. The question of whether knowledge is already in us to be discovered is one I've struggled with, since 1988, when I was first introduced to it. GREAT PRESENTATION!

[@CorrosiveColin]

I've actually had the same thing happen to me. When I was younger I studied black holes and galaxies. Eventually I figured through my studies that these two entities had much more in common than I had previously thought. I theorized (I was 13) that at the center of galaxies were Super Massive Black Holes. These particular Black Holes were much different than other Black Holes not by there size and mass, but rather how they dealt with matter. My theory is that Super Massive Black Holes have quite literally eaten themselves too "full" (for lack of a better word). Instead of absorbing matter and energy it actually reverts it back onto itself creating stasis. This would explain both why we are still alive and why the middle of galaxies shine so brightly. I took this theory of mine to a Astronomy and Physics Professor (not going to use an specific names) and she told me that Physicists and Astronomers had only recently begun theorizing the exact same thing I had. Her telling me that my thoughts were on par with some of the greatest scientific minds alive warmed me to the bone. There's something about validation. Human beings strive for it. We want to know that something we did was pertinent. Something I did mattered not only to me, but to many others like me. People who thoughts the same way I did. Sitting alone in a room looking at the wall trying to comprehend something so much greater than myself. There's nothing in the world quite like that.

This presentation proves two things - 1. That curiosity is the precurser to creativity and discovery. 2. Nature is designed according to mathematical code and the base code is very simple. This can be witnessed also with Fractals, the golden ratio of Phi and the Fibonnaci Sequence.

[@neiltristanyabut]

1. *precursor 2. nature was not "designed", and especially not according to "math code" as if the latter was created first. it just happens that some math can be observed (at least approximated) in nature.

[@KNOWHOPE72]

neil tristan yabut Ah geez...Didn't I just know that some follower of the atheism religion (I am not religious but spiritual. I define atheism as the opposite side of the same coin of religion, since both are guilty of adhering to dogmas and prejudices NO MATTER what the evidence suggests) would take offence to my comment. Don't you just love the "it just happens" and "its all just coincedence" rationalizations (hope I spelled that right Mr English teacher) of atheists. My friend, I can school both atheists and followers of religion back into the womb. As it is, I have debated religious and atheists enough. So I dont intend debating them anymore. I simply dont have anymore time. So please dont reply back.

[@steveharris5008]

I understand what he means. Without knowing I discovered a maths theory that worked with consecutive numbers. Later I found that it had already been discovered but I am proud to know that I found it myself; I was that serf. I feel sorry for those who have not had that experience...

[@battleclan]

[@steveharris5008]

the only maths there is 1+1= 1,000,000s...

[@patrickwienhoft7987]

When I was younger I had this, too. I figured out the sum for the first n numbers with Gauss' method myself in elementary school. I couldn't wrap it in a formula, but if you gave me a number n I could tell you the sum from 1 to n in like a minute. Later I learned that Gauss also discovered this in elementary school and as you probably know, he was considered genius. So that felt really, really awesome. But some time ago, I felt that it went opposite. Numberphile released a video where they took the Fibonacci sequence modulo some number n. At some point there is a pattern, naturally, and this pattern repeats. However, the length of that pattern seemed pretty random. So I thought I'd just give it a try. I didn't figure it out, but I found that the number you take modulo and the length of the pattern are equal if and only if, n = 24*5^x. So only if you take the sequence modulo 24, 120, 600, 3000, 15000 etc. I thought this was interesting and searched for it a bit. For the most time I really thought I discovered something new, but then after 10 minutes of research I found this stated in some paper. That feeling was really depressing... Btw I often wonder, if I was in 17th century, how well would I or the average 21st century human do there? I mean it took centuries for someone to figure out the formula for the sum of 1 to n, but I also figured it out myself and I've met so many people that are smarter than me, so I'm pretty sure a huge chunk of people also discovered this for themselves. I'm not sure whether that's just because our education is better, or whether we really get smarter, or if it is just a result of world's population an therefore also the number of geniuses growing...

[@steveharris5008]

I think people have more leisure time and therefore are able to be more curious about the world. Certainly there is evidence that suggests people are 'smarter' as each generation comes around. Just think how many adults do not hesitate to get a kid to operate a 'smart device'; in my day we all knew that kids knew how to operate remote controls. My nana couldn't drive a car as I can because she grew up with horse transport as the principal mode of mobility. Perhaps though we are smarter than we give ourselves credit for. Didn't Mandela express the opinion that our '...deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.'

Although you have plenty of Graph's, Money Solving, and Clock solving ones too that kinda mix things up about with different numbering types.

that's because it's the minimum amount of sides possible to create a shape. a new cut creates a side for both child shapes simultaneously. if you cut a line it will always create two lines. unless you cut it so close to one end it becomes a dot and a line. but that's a problem of magnitudes. if you zoom in enough the dot can still be a line.

[@ImCalebRosengard]

Sal C 3

[@curemymind]

Sal C I have to ask, what was your way?

[@awfullyawful]

***** My way was to get the gist and figure it out. My teachers insisted, "show your work". "These answers are correct but you did not show your work like I described so you get zero credit." Now I understand why they want to see work. People use calculators. I am older so no internet when I was in school but we did have access to calculators. My thing was to figure stuff out in my head. My Godmother recalls helping me with my math homework and seeing me come up with answers and she could not figure out how I was doing it. I am no genius. I just had a problem and worked out how to solve the problem. But for me, solving the problems often involved using unsanctioned tactics so I was penalized for not answering the problems as the teacher demanded. So basically, fuck school and fuck math. But thanks for asking :-)

[@curemymind]

Sal C Ah, ok.... I did the same thing in my math class. But the teacher only gave me half credit and next time show my work... So I understand how you feel.

[@switzerlandful]

Also, how many different ways can you arrive at a rough approximation of phi? One way I read is to take the square root of 5, add 1 and then divide by two. (Another cool trick is to type 47 into a calculator & then hit the square root button 3 times. Not very accurate but it sort of works.)

há um grande equívoco na forma como você repassa essa diálogo platônico

[@thomasgreenia621]

When i was a kid, visiting my dad in GA, i got bored on one of the long car rides and starting messing around with numbers in my composition books. Just random things involving adding subtracting, multiplying dividing, etc. But i got this urge to try pattern sums. So i wrote out 0 and 1. That made 1 so i wrote it next to the first one. Then 1+1=2, and wrote the 2 in, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, etc until i have a whole page that led off with 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...etc. What i didnt know then and wouldnt for a few more years was....the Fibonacci Sequence.

I thought you were being pedantic, but then watching the video... you're so right it's incredibly distracting and annoying!!!

[@michaelmcneil4168]

n0lsk1 About a couple of weeks or so it occurred to me that Professor Laithwaite's ideas about gyroscopes could be applied to weather systems. I immediately saw that his realisation about the ability to lft huge weights because they were spinning applied in reaction too. The opposite effect was that the weather goes north east if it is rotating cyclonically and south east if rotating anticyclonically. And that it also explained why cyclones rotate in opposite directions to each other on opposite sides of the globe. I offered the idea to other posters on uk.sci.weather but they failed to grasp it. (I also posted it on sci.geo.eathquakes but wasn't expecting anything there.) The function he was drawing is of course the weather. We are about to have a devastating tornado ot tropical storm outbreak and simultaneously a massive volcanic eruption. groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/uk.sci.weather/zdXWPdQKyXs (I am not going to feel silly when this doesn't occur. What is imprtant is that these things do NOT occur because of some illogical theory about Coriolis Effect.) The trick withmiracles is timing. When Jesus said that geting mountains to do what you say is a matter of faith, he never said they would have to do what you wanted straight away. The rotation of cyclones against the grain is preserved on this site as the Met Office's forecasts are replaced every 12 hours: weathercharts.wordpress.com/2014/02/ the 1st February was interesting as that occured with a massive volcanic eruption.

Tristan Meyers A surface level air systems move east across North America. The Lows deflect to the north and the Highs deflect to the south. The only explanation for that is the gyroscopic effect. In all my years watching the North Atlantic charts I have never seen an anticyclone move across the ocean from Newfoundland to Norway. Blocking Highs do get into the northern North Atlantic from time to time but not one since I have been on the alert for them. Satellite images here: virga.sfsu.edu/crws/archive/satimgs_month_arch.html Pressure forecast: www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/A_sfc_full_ocean.gif N. Pacific and N. Atlantic: www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/ The problem with the Coriolis effect as an explantion is that the weather systems are a part of the planet not some ghost in the machine hovering above the rest of the planet.

[@michaelmcneil4168]

Tristan Meyers I aware of the theory and did read the article. The effect was given credence during WW1 when shore mounted naval guns were used. But then, with the invention of the submachine gun it was realised the effect was "curable". www.woksat.info/etcvjasxx/asxx13101300.html The site drops links but you can get the run to open from the index. Another problem with the fallacy is the direction the waves take when tropical storms fail to thrive. They tend to run directly up the eastern half of the North Atlantic. Have you looked at any of the links I have supplied?

1. Talking about gyroscopic effect while the reason for PITA ist the amateur camera WORK, not the amateur camera? I think, the cameraman is rotating a little bit to much, but not enough for gyroscopic effects. 2. the scratching noise in the background is annoying.

I was astounded when he did the calculator thing where he changed the theta-step because I did that same thing while bored in math class To create he very same spiral! I had fun impressing my classmates with the cool spiral box design.

REgardless of how arrogant or pompous we humans can be, math is WONDROUS at times when you see its power to make sense of things and compute things previously seemingly maddening. It allows us to reach heights not met before and see more of the cosmos as we go, bringing up more questions even as we answer old ones...

goddamn, youtube comment threads are pathetic.. this is shameful i feel less of a human for being on this website with the rest of you. but whatever, one of you might actually be useful humans so heres a comment from ME! :3 So anyways.. ive always had a thought in my mind, what if we have all the knowledge there but we just need to 'unlock' it with discovery like the math was always there but as i learned it came to me that i wasnt really 'learning' its more that, my brain already knew, and could do it once i figured out the right neural path to take, right muscle movements to write the answer, all that crap. and i found it amazing that he was describing a similar thing, something ive felt since i was a child. so that really stood out to me :O is neat. the problem is, this is hitched by the fact that i have a learning disability and that long division is something ill never pick up, because its fucking stupid. like my teachers... hmmm... very interesting.

[@davef21370]

Discovery is the same as learning so to have the knowledge already but need to learn it to use it is a pretty retarded concept.

[@FWAKWAKKA]

davef21370 i meant we had to unlock it. in my effort to understand something i feel like im unlocking the knowledge, instead of having information revealed to me. i feel like instead of actually discovering something, my brain is simply creating that knowledge as its observed.. i mean i get thats the essence of learning its just to me it feels more like acknowledgement of knowledge rather then discovery of information..

it could also be an auto focus mechansim on the camera.

It's the sound of the cameras mechanics. The camera person is using the on-camera microphone so it picks up all of that
