[@angeluomo]

I think Vsauce should have ratcheted the wow-factor up a notch by showing how, in his example, the total distance traveled after a given number of seconds is always the square of a whole integer and that these squares, in turn, are the sums of odd numbers: 1, 1+3=4, 1+3+5=9, 1+3+5+7=16, etc. If you take the equation v=mx dx(where m is the slope) and integrate from 0 to any whole number x along the x-axis, you get Area= (m/2)x^2, resulting in total areas that are proportional to squared values at whole integer x-values.

[@JoshuaHults]

Very top notch presentation!! Love the different interconnected threads and the full circle!! If an image of an object can be said to represent that object through sharing of properties such as shapes, proportions, colors…then the mere fact that math has any relevance to nature, or could be said to reflect nature, by that logic must mean that the universe itself is mathematical. What is amazing about this is that math is not merely a set of numbers but rules. That means that the universe is intentional.

[@skc9917]

I would disagree on the fact that the universe is intentional, as intent would imply agency, and agency implies motive, and motive implies reasonable thinking which implies life. The best way to describe the aforementioned rules, would be to call them laws. Now, you'd be forgiven in mistaking them for something equivalent to human laws, as they are only loosely associated by the word "law". In reality, human laws are a social construct of acceptable human behavior that can but shouldn't be deviated from, while natural laws are constants that describe how something is and why something is, and are (as far as we have established) non-negotiable, unlike human laws. Besides, human laws allow for something to exist outside of their own system, because it does not determine the cause and effect of existence, but is merely a guideline for the way behavior should be encouraged/discouraged. While the universe is complex, beautiful and interesting to observe, explaining it with a 'god of the gaps' argument, which is to say that since something happens/behaves the way that it does is for a reason and that reason is a decision is a insertion of an unfalsifiable claim which by all scientific principles must be rejected since unfalsifiable means that it doesn't behave by the scientific principles that have been proven to be true. The closest argument that could be made for intentional design would be to invoke Giordano Bruno's: "natura est deus in rebus" (God is one with the nature/universe, they are the same). But even then, there is no possibility of intentional design of itself, meaning that one cannot design themselves into existence, as they would be non-existent before designing themselves, therefore not being able to design themselves into existence. That, and the fact that this sort of teaching falls under most people's conviction as heresy would make it fall flat on its head. Therefore, the universe is not intentional. It would be as for a fish to claim that it was designed intelligently, because it would die in any other environment other than the water, but the fishes that came before it evolved into a creature adapted for its environment. They were perfect for their environment not because of intent of putting them there, but simply by natural selection, because any 'fish' that went out the water would suffocate or be eaten, so they would not ponder if they were placed on land on purpose because they wouldn't survive on land. TL;DR is that intent is the wrong word used to describe the universe, more accurate would be to say that it is ordered well, I guess...

I still think that it has to do with the contract he signed for Mind Field. Whether that means that three years since the first episode or a year and a half since the last one, I don't know. Or maybe I'm totally wrong - it's not like I can prove this theory because he would have signed an NDA about it...

I enjoyed your presentation style, tone, and visual perspective. For future videos that teach new things to improve ourselves, you can also improve by correctly using "further" for quality and "farther" for distance : ) and using "me" when referring to yourself as a direct object and "I" when the subject. Great to teach proper science along with grammar : ) Thanks for making an interesting video. Best wishes.

The only thing spooky is why anyone would try to connect these things. The PBS Connections series with James Burke was really I interesting, informative and thought provoking. I really enjoyed watching them with my father many years ago.

Vsauce is so good for listening to in the background while programming, it makes you think about what he is saying and makes you see problems more clearly
