    On a local scale, I should do my homework; But when I take into account life and the entire universe, I should be launching bacteria into space.

    • @verdatum
      @verdatum 7 років тому

      Man, this would be HARD to write/animate. Stat is mostly boring math stuff, they've yet to do a CC math course, if I'm not mistaken.

    • @MuhammadSalmanAAP
      @MuhammadSalmanAAP 7 років тому +5

      verdatum so is Chemistry, Physics, Biology. For someone who is stupid enough to learn stats, it's boring, but for me and everyone who loves stats. It's exciting. Crash Course now makes useless series like Film History and Mythology. Like, why tho? There is thousand exicting useful subject to be explored

    • @verdatum
      @verdatum 7 років тому +5

      Physics is mostly boring math stuff, but it's about describing real-world stuff around us. And if you remember the early episodes of CC Physics, the ones that tried to teach calc in just 2 episodes, they were really rough. They were good, but, they probably didn't make calc click to anyone who hadn't already had a calc background (that said, I am SO happy that CC Physics took a calc-based approach; lots of high school physics doesn't and it ruins the subject if you ask me. It turns it into a bunch of memorizing equations.) Chemistry...I sorta think CC Chem could've been better. I don't blame them, because I think Chem education in general has some serious problems. Cause I really suck at learning it, beyond the high level stuff. I don't know how to work out the existence of a compound, I don't know how to guess the specific-weight of a theoretical unobserved element, I don't know what chemists do to figure out the process to synthesize a molecule (beyond looking up what other people have already done). Chemistry classes always just leave me with nothing but questions. Bio, nah, Bio is mostly boring CHEM stuff ;)
      I took 3 semesters of stat thanks to bureaucracy BS: Business Stat, regular old stat, and Stat for science ppl (or something like that). And I do love stat, and I have passionate red-in-the-face feelings about things like p-hacking. I'm just sayin' it would be difficult to make a good CC about it. I believe they could do it
      As far as Film History and Mythology, I argue that they are indeed extremely useful. Film history is what allows UA-cam to be the tool that it is. CC would not exist without film majors. And film majors need to understand how the language of video came to be.
      Mythology is important because it sheds light on religion, but in a non-challenging way. It forces you to ask questions about what you believe compared to what those before us, and what other people far away from us believe. It also teaches about society and civilization and culture.

      Hank is an ordinary person. We all have the ability to specialise and shine in our respective subjects of choice. Bit hard to be an expert in everything though (unless your neural lace is connected to Google). I'd like Scishow to do a video on everything known about neural laces and how far the technology has come.

      He does look awkward. I wonder why it seems like he has nothing to say. Is it because Hank doesn't know that much? Or is he really smart and just trying to ask simple questions to let the guest take more of a role, cementing the guests as a pro in their field?

    • @mr_ekshun
      @mr_ekshun 4 роки тому +3

      ​@@ravinraven6913 - Safe guess that there's more to it than either. Obviously Hank has had lots of exposure to a huge variety of scientific fields over the years because of what he does, and, as nobody can fully specialize in everything, he naturally has areas of greater or lesser familiarity with an expertise in probably just one.
      I'm assuming the point of these talk shows is to let people expertise in other fields (or even expertise in his own field but with a different perspective or focus) bounce their knowledge of of him as a sort of interactive proxy for the audience. It makes for a more engaging experience than a straight lecture, which is important considering these videos are longer than the typical bite-sized, easily digestible SciShow video.
      Good question, I'd honestly never thought to ask that before. So these are just my thoughts, not any sort of hard facts. They seem to make sense though.

  • @entropyzero5588
    @entropyzero5588 7 років тому +1

    Haven't seen the last one where Henry made Hank "feel like an idiot", but I think that "being made to feel like an idiot" can be one of the greatest gifts you can give an open-minded person (if done properly, that is*) : Because it means there is something you don't know, something new you can learn. And, unlike a simple "a-ha" way of realizing that, the "feeling like an idiot" way means that this is something new to learn in an area where you didn't expect it. And while this might feel uncomfortable in the moment, I think the result is still beautiful.
    *That is of course if you're not just like "Ha-ha, I know something you don't and that makes you an idiot!", which I'm just gonna assume wasn't the case here ;)

    Huh. This actually happens in voting, where the popular vote goes for one candidate, but the electoral vote goes toward the other. Say candidate A barely wins in many states, while in the few he loses, almost the entire vote goes against him, creating a popular bias for candidate B, with candidate A winning on a state by state basis, winning the vote overall.
    This is cool. I want more.

      John G. The electoral college makes it so all states have a fair say in the vote for their president. If it was based on just population then it would be unfair to smaller states, they wouldn't have an equal voice on any federal laws proposed because they have less people in their state than others and their state will have to follow laws that other larger states voted for.

    @firstwemeditate 7 років тому

    In Philosophy this is relevant to the fallacy of Composition and Division.
    Composition - an illicit presumption about the relationship between a whole thing and the parts that make it up, the fallacy is committed when we assume that any property that all of the parts share is also a property of the whole. (If we assume both instance 1 and 2 of vid-con cards being more probable confirms that vid-con cards are more probable)
    Division is the reverse where we assume a characteristic of the whole is also shared by the parts.

    This is why we have the term "lies, damn lies, and statistics." You can either infer too much or too little and get wildly different results. The "ornithology vs film school" is a great example of that. Pretty interesting to see the potholes of the field and how to successfully avoid them.

    Just to clarify, the quantum causality math was developed decades before the discovery that classical causality math fails. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox was not long after the development of Schrordinger's Wave Mechanics and Heisenberg's Matrix Mechanics (which were later discovered to be the same thing in different forms). But Bell's Theorem that shows why Einstein's view of the paradox was wrong wasn't until about 30 years later.

    Regarding the license plate comment, the book The Improbability Principle says that there are billions of improbable things that could happen to you on any given day. So statistically, it is actually probable to have a several occur per week. The trick would be to identify them beforehand.

    I use to have 2 tortoises, Tutty and Pitty, they went to my grampa's farm when Tutty started laying eggs. There they met 4 tortoises my cousins had and now there are about 80 tortoises in the farm!!
    I really miss them. :(

    Quantum Mechanics is explained by the Scale of Observation. Entanglement is the resonance of energy at the lowest possible Observable Scale. The reason both spins always line up instantly, is because of an underlying constant. This constant is the boundary of energy transmission.
    For every possible Scale of Observation there is a corresponding measure of Energy. Because of this, it can be assumed that beyond the uppermost and lower most boundaries of Energy transmission, there exist geometrically similar expressions of physical forces. Basically, every bubble on the string with Energy being transmitted, is its own isolated Universe with its own physical forces.
    Because the Universe is made of Energy. And Energy is infinitely divisible by wavelength. This is how you make infinity.

    Wait, when you take into account how many events feel to us statistically improbable (and might actually be) the chance of a random improbable event happening must be pretty high, while the chances of a particularly improbable event happening at a specific time remain very low. So weird things happen all the time :)

    That first paradox reminds me of the non-transitive dice that work kind of like rock paper scissors.

    This reminded me of cute comedy show at a festival here that invites families to watch a "turtle race." The ringmaster is very quick to inform everyone watching to "please understand, I will tell you right now, nothing significant will happen here!" The turtles barely move over the course of the routine. But my money is usually on "Ivan the Terrapin."

      Most of those are just hand-waving by the writers, not actually logical anything xD I mean, "time remnant" at this point is just "some kind of clone or duplicant or other thingy whatever it needs to be and sometimes evil but sometimes not and hey look over there!"

      Yeah, I agree with you. The the time remnants don't make any sense. It's more of the timelines I'm more interested about.

    I would really like to hear a good explanation as to why ftl communication using entangled particles is thought to be impossible. Judging from the popular (extremely simplified) explanations of how entangled particles behave (I have way to little actual knowledge about the current theories on how they behave), it seems to me that ftl communication using them should be possible when applying error correction.
