      I know, right.
      Some of the topics are not really that interesting but I play these videos just to listen to his voice.

  • @GelidGanef
    @GelidGanef 8 років тому +9

    Most of these videos take some number concept already vaguely mystifying to me, and make them understandable.
    Tadashi always takes the most inane everyday stuff I thought I understood and somehow makes them freaking magical. Soo genius.

    Perhaps there might be a philosophical analogy to this with regards to how our world works, where many aspects of our world are unlinked to any other specific aspect, but when they are all simulataneously present, everything is linked together.

      You'd be correct in that regard since Lacan spoke about the three psychoanalytic orders (the Real, the Imaginary and the Symbolic) and illustrated their interconnectedness using Borromean Rings.

    Very interesting. I would like to see stuff about this specifically. Simplest possible objects that require more parts than you would expect. I wonder if there is a way to do that with 5 or 7. For some reason it seems easier to imagine odds but an even better question would be if it could be done with even numbers as well.
