Funnily enough, it COULD make sense if you use probability as a second dimension of time- instead of separating moments in time, it would separate possible sequences of events or timeLINES. Not exactly helpful, of course, as we don't know how (or if it CAN be done) to properly control our movement in the FIRST dimension of time, and that one we actually know exists and can actually MEASURE. To travel sideways, we'd have to be in a reality in which alternate timelines are more than hypothetical, PROVE that they exist, and then develop an entirely new field of physics from zilch to the point of fully practical application. Maybe travelling back in time WOULD be easier.
I'm pretty sure the paper wormhole explanation actually doesn't work. In all the movies, they bend the paper to connect the two points. If you think about it that means you would have to bend the entire universe in order for a wormhole to work
@@livethefuture2492 even if you had a fourth dimension , you would actually have to travel more distance than normal. Imagine it with a 1D line. The shortest distance is obviously still a straight line, you can draw a curve between the two points that goes into 2 dimensions, but the arc length is still longer than the straight line. The only way to get a shorter distance is by bending the piece of paper. That's where it breaks down, because you can't just bend lightyears worth of space to fit your convenience. So even if wormholes do exist, they wouldn't be a shortcut.
You forgot the genius scientist who always has brilliant ideas in response to a less smart characters saying something mundane. The conversation be like Genius protagonist: I've ran all the numbers! I've checked all the simulations! I can't figure it out! Genius protagonist's dumb friend: Maybe it's time for you to walk away and know you aren't god, you can't figure everything out all the time.

Sure, maybe House isn't a show about scientists, but it's a medical drama so close enough. Edit: Guys, the reason I know that’s the plot to essentially every House episode is because I’ve seen them all. I love the show, the eureka moments are just a bit cliche.

Kevin: “So, I stayed up late last night tinkering with my quantum computer and quantum bioreplicator and I think I’ve done it, it’s the cure for coronavirus. I crunched the numbers, the quantum states should keep the virus stable enough to perform its job. Quantum.”
Of course it is, if you ignore the x's the equation makes sense. Equations always work when you ignore the x's. For example, you've want to buy a new flat screen but your ex keeps demanding you pay her child support? Cross out the ex and you get a flat screen.
It is though, right? I assumed he just skipped some writing. 1) rewrite ( 1 + x) / x as a sum of two fractions: ( 1 / x ) + ( x / x ) 2) the original expression is clearly only defined for nonzero x, so we can simplify x / x to 1 (as shown) 3) subtract 1 from both sides, yielding: 4) 1 / x = 1 Quickly multiply both sides by x , confirming that x =1 is the solution set. In my assessment, step 2 above is the least obvious (though they are all pretty obvious) and is the key to arriving at this easy formulation of the solution. It is also the hardest step to do mentally (compared to subtracting 1 and multiplying by 1 ... ), hence why it is is illustrated. Furthermore, the "right" way to solve this would be to multiply both sides by x, then collect like terms and solve the resulting linear equation in one variable. However, this is totally equivalent to the formerly described strategy with the caveat that one must check to see what happens when the lost factor--here, "x"--is equal to zero. Since that behavior is also clear, I imagine this is pretty kosher, eh? Let me know if I'm missin' something here. Other than the triviality of the problem to begin with. Lol.

It's called "making the data confess". Sadly, manipulating data to prove some kind of preconceived notion is done too much in real science, even peer-reviewed studies aren't safe from it.

Y'know what really grinds my gears? That sci-fi trope where the lead scientist in charge of reverse-engineering the crashed alien ship says to the General/President/Protagonist "We don't know what it's made of but it's not on the Periodic Table". ... Um, what? Like, is it just a somehow stable superheavy element? Nanobots that swim away from your test equipment? Some kind of un-atomic matter?

You forgot the "Blessed with Divine Knowledge" one, who somehow guesses exactly what is going on without nearly enough information. Think Anne Hathaways character in Interstellar with the 'Love transcends time' mumbo jumbo, which for some freaking reason works, despite it being the ramblings of a love sick puppy. No offense meant, the visuals were sick, but damn that ending.
I don't think Hathaway's character from Interstellar qualifies for that. In the movie, they had two viable options since both planets had positive data, and Hathaway's character was arguing for the one her lover had gone to. McConaughey's character brought them to the trap, but given the information they had at the time, either option would have been okay. Her whole spiel about how "love transcends space and time" (which may be true in a sense) was just her argument for why they should go to the planet with her lover rather than the other guy's planet. The ending is disconnected from that choice. On the topic of the movie's ending, I find it strange how many people focus on the tesseract in the black hole and not the wormhole that appeared in the Solar System - both are very sci-fi (presumably sent by future humans), but many people seemingly forget that the entire premise of the movie (a wormhole artificially opening up in the Solar System that leads to potentially habitable planets) is completely sci-fi.

Priest: I did another divination differently this time, and the signs said we should.
Modern times:
President: Scientist crunch the numbers to see if we should do this.
Scientist: I crunched the numbers and the data says we should not.
President: Crunch the numbers again but differently.
Scientist: I crunched the numbers again differently this time and the data says we should.
It's called "making the data confess". Sadly, manipulating data to prove some kind of preconceived notion is done too much in real science, even peer-reviewed studies aren't safe from it.
@@Thecobra252527 The point I was trying to make is that despite all our technology we are genetically just the same as our ancestors. We merely want some higher entity to acknowledge what we are doing is right.
I think the show that made the best joke with 'crunch the numbers', is The office where Michael asks the bank guy to crunch the numbers again and the banker just presses the spacebar lmao
bank guy: 'crunch'
pam: '...did it help?'
There are another kind,who always wants to put
"Schrödinger equation" in what ever they know.
"Are you seriously comparing Here Kevin to Sir Isaac Newton?"
"His paper is amazing. Just read it"
"He gives no footnotes"
"He answered a question no one cares about"
"THEN WHEN THE PATIENT WOKE UP HIS SKELETON WAS MISSING!!!"
“and the doctor was never heard from again!
Anyhow, that’s how I lost my medical license…”
I went through all the trouble of solving the equation on the board and then you did that solution and it _hurt_ my _soul._
YES! We need your videos in quarantine times Andrew. Hope your Phd is going well.
"I can't say for sure but It's guaranteed to work"
You forgot to mention the one Asian scientist who survives the dinosaurs everytime in all Jurassic Park/ World movie he's in.
and nobody stops him from making more clones
“I can’t say for sure, but it’s guaranteed to work” - me every time before I make a stupid life decision.
what about that one guy who explains the SF stuff with "vibrations" and "frequencies"
Don't forget...if there is an error after "crunching the numbers," its because they forgot to "carry the one"
and let's not forget the college student (who isn't even a stem major) solves an equation in a minute that an entire class of stem students couldn't solve for weeks
Person in charge: Hey mr scientist, could this work?
Scientist: well, in theory it's possible
Person in charge: Do it!
Scientist: it worked perfectly.
Fun fact: Andrew Dotson will become famous, Hollywood will cast him and he will have to play one of these characters.
What about using dark matter as an explanation for literally anything
You forgot "making a simple solution sound complicated because the movie's genius describes it" 😂. Example: Donald Glover in "The Martian".
Interstellar reference? My favorite science movie.
lOvE iS tHe FiFtH dImEnSiOn
but really, I actually enjoy that movie, with or without the deus ex machina ending
Travel through time in sideways 😂😂😂😂
*Travel through multiple-dimensional time in sideways
i just thought about it and imagine 2 dimensions of time. What does that even mean? Somebody must've thought about it already
@@davidgil6485 There's actually some cases with complex time, with a real and imaginary time components: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_time_dimensions#Speculative_approaches
I feel like we aren’t acknowledging the scientists who always think the solution to everything is to “reverse the polarity” of something.
Great video! I think you should make this into a mini series lol 😂
I'm a simple man. I see Andrew, I hit like.
Noah Burke Noah’s a good guy, be like Noah
‘’What if instead of crunching the numbers, we ran the numbers?’’
‘’Get on it!‘’
😂so crazy it just might work

This reminds so much of Tony Stark, in the first movie he's a weapon engineer and by the last movie he invents time travel.
“Dam it Kevin” killed me
Y'know what really grinds my gears? That sci-fi trope where the lead scientist in charge of reverse-engineering the crashed alien ship says to the General/President/Protagonist "We don't know what it's made of but it's not on the Periodic Table". ... Um, what? Like, is it just a somehow stable superheavy element? Nanobots that swim away from your test equipment? Some kind of un-atomic matter? No thought into it, it's just a trope passed over from the Roswell story, and it's in every ship-crashed-on-Earth story.
Captain: Scientist, use the space machine to save so and so before the black hole collapses!
Scientist: But captain, we don't have enough fancy space fuel and we will die to death!
Captain: We must do it! It's our only chance!
*Somehow miraculously saves so and so safely making the scientists look like complete dummies*
That "i doo" at the end really got me. Good stuff.
You forgot the "Blessed with Divine Knowledge" one, who somehow guesses exactly what is going on without nearly enough information. Think Anne Hathaways character in Interstellar with the 'Love transcends time' mumbo jumbo, which for some freaking reason works, despite it being the ramblings of a love sick puppy. No offense meant, the visuals were sick, but damn that ending.
I don't think Hathaway's character from Interstellar qualifies for that. In the movie, they had two viable options since both planets had positive data, and Hathaway's character was arguing for the one her lover had gone to. McConaughey's character brought them to the trap, but given the information they had at the time, either option would have been okay. Her whole spiel about how "love transcends space and time" (which may be true in a sense) was just her argument for why they should go to the planet with her lover rather than the other guy's planet. The ending is disconnected from that choice. On the topic of the movie's ending, I find it strange how many people focus on the tesseract in the black hole and not the wormhole that appeared in the Solar System - both are very sci-fi (presumably sent by future humans), but many people seemingly forget that the entire premise of the movie (a wormhole artificially opening up in the Solar System that leads to potentially habitable planets) is completely sci-fi.
"It never occured to me to think of space as the thing that was moving." -- movie engineer
You forgot the most important one
"This completely ridiculous thing works because SOMETHINGSOMETHINGQUANTUM!"
2:20 When the algebra is wrong but the answer is right.
*Task Failed Successfully*
I was literally waiting for the sheet of paper 😂😂😂
2:51 I swear to god if I ever hear someone explain a wormhole using a folded sheet of paper again i'll scream
"what if instead of going backwards in time, we went sideways?" To answer that, we're gonna need to talk about parallel universes. You see, mario's position is a floating point numb-
You should definitely make a part 2!
Andrew don’t lie you’re gonna be in a movie and you’re gonna have to be one of these in couple of years 😉 👍
I love how this calls Tony's "quantum gibberish" from Endgame out🤣
Last time I was this early, I was studying last minute for an online exam at 8am on a Wednesday morning.
"Jesus Christ! Is that even possible?"
"I can't say for sure, but it's guaranteed to work."
Okay, that _actually_ got me laughing for real. Wow, it's been a while.
@ 3:06 the equation on the white board. Unfortunately I don’t see the right hand side. Is It a Einstein Field equation with Ricci tensor and scalar on the left side? Please show the complete thing! I cant sleep because of it!
99% sure it's just the uncorrected Einstein field eqn. Gotta be 8πG/c⁴ T_μν
I was SO waiting for the wormhole paper bit- did not disappoint
the (insert any scientific word)ologist knows how to do literally everything no matter what😂
the scientologist
Is science a scientific word?
Ian Malcolm is its own type of scientist: “your scientists were so worried with whether or know they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
2:19 this hurt
Well if it works :)
Δημήτρης Ζαβιτσάνος Yeah because he was lucky.
The x variable in the equation at 2:24 really is equal to 1 but the way that scientist solves the problem broke my academic soul in half.
Kevin’s the successful cousin your mom will always bring up, but swears she’s not comparing you to
