A bump on the head, a mysterious femme fatale and a strange encounter on a windswept peak all add up to a heck of a night for Manny Brot, Private Eye. Watch as he tries his hand at saving the dame and getting the cash! Shudder at the mind-bending geometric riddles! Thrill to the stunning solution of The Case of the Missing Fractals.
Lesson by Alex Rosenthal and George Zaidan, animation by TED-Ed.
1. Sierpinski's Triangle
2. Koch Snowflake
3. Mandelbrot Set
There. :D
+Jeremy Zhou My friend did a project on Sierpinski's Triangle... He thought it would be interesting. It turned out that the pattern was all there was. I did another project that worked out just fine. Maybe Pascal's Triangle? :P
HOLY SMOKES I FOUND YOU
Unless your youtube account name isn't your real name, it's not you... sorry if I confused you!
Nicholas Hao hi
Eric Ness This account is my real name, but you might be referring to a person with the same name. My name isn't too rare.
The script for this has been well-written. The animation is well-drawn. The story is well-thought of. The ideas and messages are well-presented.
Well done, TED-Ed!
Rex T and..this comment, well made!
No matter how deeply you look into this video, it's greatness does not diminish
Charles Veitch deep
Are you related to James Veitch
actually, the deeper you go the more and more this video becomes much much more beautiful
I burst out laughing at "...Is it a dodo egg?"
Lol hi Suga 😂
LOL ME TO I FELL OFF MY CHAIR I BLED BUT STILL LAUGHED AND MY DAD WENT IN LIKE"WTF" AND LEFT !!!
LMAO XDDDDD!!!!!OMG PLEASE HELP ME I NEED A DOCTOR I CAN'T STOP!!!!!XXDDDD
+Katelyn Think of the worst vegetables you have ever tasted.
That was actually a pretty clever answer.
I think he said that because dodos are extinct.
"Is it an egg?"
"No! Why would it be an egg?"
"It's usually an egg."
Lol.
"Is it a dodo egg?"
lmao
Lolololololololol
Dodo egg doesn't exist that's why he said dodo egg
couldn't you have made this a feature film?! this was awesome
Quality above quantity. :)
This was so intense.
Humorous and insightful. Why aren't more people interested this math stuff Ted-ED posts? 2 thumbs up for this vid!
Kelsey Mo the real question is, why dont math teachers teach like this
@@hahahanah9954 the more thrilling question is, why we never use these riddles in our real life?
the beginning made me jump. turn down the volume.
+Hannah Wang hahaha same here ;_;
+Hannah Wang hahaha same here ;_;
me too
+Hamed Hosseini lol nice
+muthu kumar I almost screamed XD
In case you guys didn't notice, but when he released the fractals, his
world of simple shapes adopted a more fractal look, see the cave wall
lightning bolt, and clouds looking more 'natural' as they resemble fractals in
nature! I think that's a nice touch!
I can't believe this video is now 8 years old... I think I watched it 6 years ago for the first time and I was fascinated. Coming back here now and then, this one really is one of the best !
I saw what you did there "eyes(i) like imaginary numbers". Good one
"You're a strange little man." "Thank you!" 3:33 Lol
This is utter genius.
but you missed a trick. Surely you could have found a way to squeeze in "here's looking at Euclid"?
I love that idea it was a lot more creative than just explaining it
This was a freaking MASTERPIECE!
I love Noir, and i love Math. This was awesome!
My brain is in a knot! but I like it. Great video.
Ken Karnes my brain is in a brot.
4:00 The dame had played me like a triangle.
Ted-Ed PLEASE make more videos like this !!!! I keep rewatching it , I love it so much !!
And now you've just crossed into... The Twilight Zone
Vat19?
This is probably my favorite of the TED-Ed animated videos.
This is the best video that I've seen from Ted Ed.
The analysis is stupendous.
Great work,kudos Ted Ed.
This is the bet Ted-ed Video ever and it must be made into a series.
That was intense. I was not expecting that on a video about fractals, but consider me impressed.
Jesus CHRIST, a little volume control please?
Sorry m8, finite video length, infinite volume.
Wow...that's a great way to teach about fractals. Cool and sassy
The first one could also have been a black hole. Also, what was the Rubik's cube fiasco of '58?
I think you meant the " Event Horizon "
Richard Yu well young champ
No, i mean the singularity.
It doesn't have any area.
Right. How do you calculate a whirlpool's area?
The lightning bolt was a fun touch :)
Imagine watching this stoned.
I just watched this Shawn Ravenfire and I can tell you it is harrowingly cool.
i did boss
bettr on cid maaan
couldn't the last riddle also been Sierpinski's triangle?
kurotaku but he chose mandelbrot
"What can I hold in my hand, but has zero area?"
"Air."
This undoubtedly the best TED-ed video!! Hats off!!
This gotta be the best ted ed video.
That was probably one of the coolest TED-Eds I have ever watched!
Congratulations, you've made a surprisingly good Cosmic Horror Story/Lovecraftian fiction.
Imagine a world with absolute chaos. And now a world with absolute order. How would you imagine it...?
I imagine it thus; in a world of absolute chaos, there is no cause, nor effect, but everything is possible. Time has no meaning; it has no dimensions. It is simply a point; a coordinate of only zeros, in which all possibility has been squeezed.
In a world of absolute order, there is cause and effect, but for there to be a beginning, there must be no end, or beginning, for a beginning and an end must be one another's causes and ends and the only way this can be true is if they are one and the same; void.
But imagine a world with infinitely long strings of numbers, ever going on, in whichever counting system you adore. In a string infinitely long where no cause nor effects the next, it must be true an infinite string of seeming cause and effect must exist. In a string infinitely long where every number has a cause before, it can be true one must go back infinitely far to find it.
In an infinite string of events, permutations and causes, both views can be and must be correct. A world can both be seen as though it were infinitely, but not absolutely chaotic, as well as infinitely, but not absolutely orderly.
One must therefore wonder, what does this mean, in a world which, in an perspective of infinite order, is shocking finite?
Why this comment has no reply
This is so cool! Love the #Mandelbrot ref. Such a dynamic and fun way to introduce infinite iterations in number sets, as well as the boundlessness of the structure of the universe through geometric forms.
The root of it... #fractals ROCK!!!
Thanks to TED-Ed for the Sam Spade of learning, Manny Brot! May his character live on.
Ok, this has to be one of the best TedEd episodes.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH THIS! LOVE IT!
That Maltese Falcon reference at the end
This might be the coolest Ted-Ed video I've seen yet.
this was so unlike a normal Ted-Ed video but I loved it so much! the script, the animation, the sound effects everything is just too good!
i've watched this 6 times and i still don't get it.....urgh... :(
egg is the solution
+zebratalks here's a simple way of explaining the first riddle. The triangle is slowly having its parts removed in each turn. After a large amount of turns, the triangle will have almost zero area due to the fact that its having its parts removed. So let's say after an infinite amount of turns, the triangle will then have no area. This is also a fractal.
Well, to be fair, the last riddle didn't even need a fractal. "r = ln θ" has that quality to such a pure degree that when you continuously zoom in on its center, it just looks like it's spinning.
but there only is one point that you can infinitely zoom into and find self-similarity, not an infinite number of such points.
This is true. ;-)
so basically we're trapped in infinity ... like inception
That's some real deep level thing
Like i understood 1/3 of the video (I blame the fact that i'm not a person who speaks english by birth)
gabriel armando galaviz melendez What is you speak by birth? I'm Russian ^.^'
What an interesting way of learning how fractals work
2:22
The rubiks cube was invented in 1974. So...impossible to have a fiasco with such toy if it was only 1958.
I guess that's why it was such a fiasco.
+TheBluMeeny zomg it's murr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from the future ted ed is a fortune teller
r/hmmm
Wow I love it. this is the best ted -ed video ever.
whne ur whole life becomes a fractl....
This is a work of art. What a way to explain a concept as intricate as this.
This deserves an Oscar :P
This was the best animation lesson EVER
Why can I not stop watching this?
Ultra triforce
"An angle . . . an angle from heaven" WHY WAS THAT SO FUNNY--
That was beautiful
very, very, very impressive one!!!
This is most interesting and fasciniting video i've seen good job
One of the best videos I've ever seen !!!.. Thank you ...
I've watched this five times over three years and I finally understand this.
But if you would have watched this five times in three days, then you could have started to use the knowledge from this video 2 years and 362 days earlier and could have mastered more complex theories related to the knowledge in this video and maybe could have found the key to the 4th dimension and understand the secrets of universe including quantum science and time dilation by which you could have ended with unlimited time and could have gain unlimited knowledge in that unlimited time.
So basically you just wasted 2 years and 362 days of your life in which you could have ended up with all the knowledge in the universe and ultimately become the almighty. I feel so bad for you.
im so happy i found ted ed
This video is so good I revisit it every now an then
this video scared me at the end but first my brain was melting...
The animation was extraordinary!
best way of explaining ever!
An angle from heaven
This is the best one! Make some more like this!
This was freaking awesome
Soo many quotes.
"Like an overindulging birthday clown"
"After infinity pinches"
"Flim-flam, there it was"
Actually, this entire video is just quote worthy dialog.
Film noir vibes!
Absolutely love it!
An thats how the universe was made...
On the edge of infinity
I like the vertigo reference, nicely done
This is a crazy creative way to teach math. My artist's math averse brain loved it.
Ahh ... Fractals !! The art of the universe ...
Can someone tell me what kinda software they used to get the mandelbrot zooming out towards the end .. or was it hand drawn ?? ... if it was .. Hats off !!
I'm waiting for the sequel
Triangles= illuminati, Squares= SPONGEBOB LOL
best ever answers...
and yes lil confusing ..
love it!! i'm going to show it to my students!
The end was also really scary
Fractals are terrifying..
Gotta love that Maltese Falcon reference
Clever video. Reminds me of "Mathnet".
"you're a strange little man".
"thank you".
"Is it an egg" SJDBUSAHHAHAHSHDHBDHBEIWBHHDYGUGEUHEUWHDUWHSJAHHAHAHAAJEJWUWUQHSHABHAHAHAHSHAHABXHSBCHSBCJWXBJWHBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWKNJSHDUEBFHEBFRHVBDHCBDHCBDYVCSUVXAHVSWAUDEYCBEYFBELMAOLOLRJDISJDIWBSIDHDJCBCMSBSKSHDIEHRKRJROFLEKWJEIEHWJSNDKDNDJFJFIDJDHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAH
Riddle 1 shape: Sierpiński Triangle
Riddle 2 shape: Koch snowflake
Riddle 3 shape: Mandelbrot set
just gonna say, this was amazing!
Ahhh..the lightning got me...I almost had a heart attack...
This was an amazing video!! Thanks Ted Ed!!
"You're a weird little man"
" *Thank you* "
Excellent introduction to Fractals!
This is so cool. Good job TED!
thanks for helping out with my homework
that was... unsettling
Excellent animation!
the Riddler can Learn from this!
Magnificent video
well done!
Is this illuminati?
Ivan Lu there is a ton of Symbolism here, I noticed that as well.. Could be coincidence
No, welcome to the land of geometry.
+Blan Morrison haha, nice.
It's the TRYFORCE
I knew it
thanks for the heart attack in the beginning
I'm pretty surprised I actually understood this video and had a lot of fun, good job here xD
Excellent narration
