      Vsauce An advice here.
      Your videos are good and entertaining, but you often go off topic. Like in this video we were talking about originality of media to suddenly turn into organic replication. Thats okay. But ending up with me being related to the whole matter in the universe, where am I. Thats awesome but sometimes confusing. And it is the reason I get lost with the flow of your videos.
      So what would be better.
      I'll recommend you structure your videos with a proper summary or conclusion at the end. I had the same problems too, but organising ideas makes content better to process. I hope this advice can be applied in future videos. And as always, make awesome videos.

    • @DoctorSheldor
      @DoctorSheldor 10 років тому +19

      Actually the Mona Lisa is famous for looking directly at you. It is due to a technique called "linear perspective". Modern artists have a command of linear perspective, and they use the interplay of light and shadow to create paintings that look almost as if they're alive. But it's impossible to get past the fact that the medium in which a painter works exists in only two dimensions. Ultimately all depth created through perspective and light and shadow is a trick, an optical illusion, and this illusion gives rise to other illusions -- including eyes in a painting following you.
      So how does it work? Essentially, what is going on is that the light, shadow and perspective depicted in a painting are fixed, meaning they don't shift. Remember when your friend stared forward and you walked from side to side? His or her eyes didn't follow you because the light and shadow, as well as perspective you see, actually change. Features that were close to you as you stood on one side are farther away when you stand on the other side. Since the elements of perspective and light and shadow are fixed in a painting and don't change, they look pretty much the same no matter from what angle you look at it [source: Guardian].
      So if a person is painted to look at you, he or she will continue to look as you move about the room. If a person is painted looking away from you, the light, shadow and perspective shouldn't allow him or her to ever look at you, even if you move yourself to the point where the person has been painted looking toward.

    • @okkoheinio5139
      @okkoheinio5139 4 роки тому +56

      1st cousin: common ancestor in the second generation above you (common grandparents)
      2nd cousin: third gen above you (great-grandparents)
      3rd cousin: fourth gen (great-great-grandparents)
      And so on
      Here we can see the formula is your n:th cousin has a common ancestor up n+1 generations
      With this, I can conclude that:
      Your siblings are your own zeroeth cousins. (common ancestor up one generation)
      You are your own negative first cousin. (common ancestor at your generation (you can say you're blood related to yourself, right?))
