No. A hole is empty space. I would think a hole in a hole would be a black hole or matter in the center of the hole while not touching the original host.
You’re over-complicating it with philosophy when it’s literally a linguistic ambiguity question. The straw has 1 tunnel/tubing, and 2 entry points. Since a hole can mean either, you get ambiguity. So when you say there’s 2 holes, you’re talking about the holes at the entry points, of which there are 2. When you say theres only 1 hole, you’re talking about one tubing that lead to 2 separate entry/exit points. Because it may be the “same hole” but it’s also not “the same hole” if you go out one hole from the other. When you suck on the straw, are you saying you are sucking from either the bottom hole or the top hole and it doesn’t matter? Of course it does. Linguistic flaw, not a philosophical one
This question really pointed out some philosophical and physics problems that actually exist. It wasn't just an overcomplicated linguistic one, and you trying to debunk with that doesn't solve the whole problem at all
But you can use that to improve the definitions and still ask further questions. An object has 2 entry points, but how many tubings connect those entry points - one, more than one, zero (they are unconnected)? Clearing up the linguistics is very important, but it serves to only improve the quality of the questions asked.
Maybe it's a lead up to some specialized Hole Theory. But more of a chance it's "when I suck this hole I effectively wirelessly transport my pop data into my face hole". I just realized holes are everywhere
This "stupid questions" maybe the fundament to answer those more complex questions, what if newton did not ask himself why the apple hit his head, (i know is more complex than that but is just to put an example)
YES! The question was flawed. How many openings are in your house, straw, head, shirt... it goes on. Humans only have one hole. Starts at the mouth and ends on your rear.

it's two holes because a straw is a cylinder. In terms of surface a cylinder has a top , a bottom, and one side. In the particular case of the straw, the top is a hole, hole number 1, and the bottom is a hole, hole number 2 since, as you'll aɡree the top is not also the bottom, they are different thinɡs. If it had just one openinɡ (like a cup) would you say it has the same or equal numbers of holes as the straw? Despite a cup beinɡ a cylinder, havinɡ a top, a bottom, and a side, only 1 of which is a hole. Further more, if you still percieve a straw as havinɡ just one hole, why can't cups be used as straws and straws as cups if they are structurally the same, that is both beinɡ cylinders with just one hole?
Casimir III wrong. The straw is a single plain, considering it is connected for the whole length. If you sealed a straw on top and bottom with a flat plastic, and made a hole on both sides smaller than the inner diameter of the straw, that’s 2 holes. If the diameter of the hole is consistent with the inner diameter, or graduation of the straw for the entire length or Depth, it is singular. If you only covered 1 side with a flat plastic and made a hole smaller than the diameter of the inner diameter of the straw, then that’s 2 holes because a second plain has been introduced. A straw only has a singular plain because if you split it down the length, it becomes a cylindrical sheet that could be laid flat without further modifications needed
What about no hole? 0 holes: If you consider the straw as a complete object - like a rolled up plane - if you have a hole in a straw, it doesn't work anymore, since you're going to pull air. 1 hole: If you consider a straw to be a solid object with a hole through it. 2 holes: If you consider a straw to be a hollow cylinder with a hole at the top and the bottom of it. If you add a hole to a bucket or a cup, it has 1 hole. The opening at the top is what makes it a bucket or cup. Another way to look at it: Try to flatten it (you can change the shape/stretch/shrink/bend it however you want) A straw would become a disc with 1 hole. A bucket/cup would become a disc with no holes (ever put a yogurt cup into the oven?) A shirt would become a disc with 3 holes (the bottom part would become the outer edge of the disc)
I was thinking this too. If you take a sheet of paper, it's an intact object, there are no holes in it. Then roll it into a tube shape and tape it together. Now does it have holes? There's nothing missing from it, nothing penetrated the paper and nothing was taken away to make the tube shape.
The branch of math dealing with topology gives you a straightforward answer. Most of the problems you identify have to do with the lack of precision that is inherent to language and semantics.
For me it's one hole. If you cut off 1mm of a straw I am pretty sure everyone would say it has one hole, so should 20cm of straw have two holes? At which point does one hole become two?
Technically a hole is entrance into a pipe or crevasse. The hole is the top part, not the entire straw. Even one mm of straw would have 1 holes, because in theory it is a pipe that is 1mm long. Only a 2 dimensional object can be a hole. Imagine your take an infinitely thin slice of the top of the straw, there is your hole.
I think the same way to... If the straw was small enough everyone would agree that a straw has one hole But due to the being long they r logically considered to have 2 holes But mathematically a straw has one hole
When he punched a hole in the paper, he created a hole that can not be removed by modifying the object. If you cut the straw length wise, you can modify it and it has no holes. So a straw has no holes.
Mini Films Central hey buddy, 2 dimensional objects don’t exist. If you have any experience with CAD, the straw is a cylinder that would take 1 extrusion to create 1 hole
It's got 2 holes.. think about it.. does a shirt (with the sleeves tied up or sowed up completely) have 1 hole? No.. it would have the neck hole and the waist hole...2 holes.. just like a straw
@@WillSurvive2TheEnd you seem so correct. Almost convincing me there's only 1 hole until I think about my shirt example and how I can specifically name the 2 different holes. Then getting back to a straw I can label one U for Up. And D for Down. And call one hole up hole.. and one hole down hole.
@@guythat779, nope... Philosophy isn't worthless. But without philosophical thinking it's YOU who's worthless. If yii didn't understand me, you have 0% knowledge of what philosophy is.
I define a hole as a missing piece of something. A straw, thus doesn't have any holes, not if it's a functioning one at least. But a straw does have an entry and an exit. If a straw were to have holes, those holes would allow liquid to escape from the main straw line. Bottom line, if it's a missing part, then it's a hole.
Look at a structure of a cylinder aka a straw. There are two circles top and bottom to make straws they remove these 2 circles in order to make the straw. 2 circles are missing from the straw therefore creating two holes.
@@uvgalaxyxd7068 But what if that is not how they make it? What if you start with a flat sheet of plastic, roll it into a tube and then seal the edges where it joins? Nothing ever pierced or penetrated the sheet of plastic and no material was removed to make the tubular shape.
@@uvgalaxyxd7068 So then there is no hole if it is made the way I described. It would make no sense to start with a 'cap' on each end when they are only going to cut it off. manufacturing always wants to use the least amount of material and the least number of steps to make a thing. Efficiency is profit.
@@lestranged Ah yes every straw company makes their straws that way. Not a single company doesnt do that. Also I genuinely dont care anymore, it's been a year.

@@casimiriii5941 In 3D space it's one or two holes. In 2D space however it's zero holes as it's just a flat sheet looped around on itself. Similar to how classical explorers thought the earth was flat but they were only thinking in 2D space. in 3D space we know the earth is a sphere. Also to comment on your idea, cups or straws or even things with multiple openings would all be one hole as they are just different openings all connected to the one collective nothingness. The liquid jsut has multiple openings of this singular nothingness in which to flow through. The reality of this question is, the anawer is entirely based on how a hole is defined.
Guys guys if you fold it it's still 1 hole because folding it doesn't mean it does not have a little tiny hole through the paper because you folded the hole an atom has some space between the other atoms... wait doesn't that mean it has like.. a million holes because there is space between a atom?

a through hole is not a hole. its a through hole. a through hole has 2 openings instead of a blind hole with 1 opening. a hole is literally another word for an opening. 2 openings. 2 holes. period. so if you convert engineering parlance to english a blind hole is 1 hole 1 opening. a through hole is 2 holes 2 openings forming a single "through hole" think of it this way. you have a cylinderical hallway. I place an opening at each end of the hallway. how many openings in the hallway? 2 how many entrances/exits in the hallway? 2 I just made a LIFESIZE straw. in this context opening = entrance = exit = hole. they are all synonyms for the same thing. the hallway has 2 holes. 2 openings. its LITERALLY a lifesize giant straw. a straw has 2 openings. 2 holes. together that forms what engineers call a "through hole" a totally separate construct from a hole. since it requires 2 holes to make 1 through hole. you are confused because they are using the same word to mean 2 different things.

Thats what I said when he presented that argument. I was like well from an engineering perspective a cup has a blind hole but if you drilled through the bottom it now has a through hole if you drilled into the side now its an interrupting hole (how rude XD)
Your defenitions to every one are so complicated but at the end I understand you, thank you because you always show us the hidden facts about things that people have always said wrong things about
A hole must have a container, so when you poked 2 holes in the paper, they were actually two holes because they have 2 separate containers. A hole is a lack of solid, and it must have a solid container; otherwise, the whole universe is just a hole!!! Edit: The container must have an ellipse opening. Finally, you can't say that a hole bends unless there is a clear container that is bent.
You are not correct a hole is not a lack of a solid it is not a space inside that is a cavity the whole is the theoretical construct plane that we described as the opening between the object the inside world and the outside world the cavity a hole is not a thing it is a description
Maybe if there's an absolute answer to this, then maybe we can define how are things originated, like who/what created who/what. Because a hole is just a space. For the meantime, if someone will ask me how does the universe created. Maybe this one is a good answer.: "Someone/something punch a hole, and boom, the universe existed" hehehe
The question "what is the definition of a hole?" was the first thought in my mind after seeing the poll earlier this week. As I am an kind of engineer myself, you can guess my answer.
@@777sn2 some grammar mistakes are intentional on UA-cam. This isn't an English class. Also not trusting an engineer shows that you think you are so smart. Straw has 1 through hole, if one end was closed, it is a blind hole
A straw is a hollow cylinder, so it can only have one hole through it's length. Because a straw is a hollow cylinder, it has two OPENINGS. Case closed.
Philosopher of Nonsense Its a good answer. But an ACTUAL straw its never a solid cilindre that the manufacturer drills from top to bottom. Its more likely that the object was a hollow cilindre with filled bottom and top. That eventually got cut out. So its 2 holes there.
Or, if the straw was solid and someone drilled it all the way, maybe he drilled from top to middle and then from bottom to middle. Which makes 2 holes as well. Like those guys making a tunnel from UK to France that found each other in the middle of the way.
@@lauroneto3360 *cylinder is the English spelling (not being rude, just being helpful) What I was saying is exactly how that logic is flawed (no offense, but you have to see this with the right perspective). A "hole" is, by definition, two-dimensional, as in there is a hole on both dimensions like both sides of a piece of paper. But a straw is a 3-dimensional shape. The means at which you achieve a hollow cylinder are irrelevant, you still have a hole through a cylinder. Without that hole, it would be a rod. Drinking straws, like PVC pipe, are made by a process called "slip-forming", there is no drilling involved. In manufacture, they can make straws 600 feet long if they wished, the product itself is merely plastic tubing cut to length. If left uncut by the slicer, the machine would produce an endless tube until you ran out of plastic. If you are familiar with 3D modeling with "primitives" (simple shapes), you are familiar with a cylinder. To put a hole through that cylinder would make it like a straw (or "hollow cylinder" in geometrical terminology)...but you only put ONE hole through it. That one hole has resulted in two openings, which is definitive of a tunnel. There is ONE hole through the cylinder, but two openings, the same applies to any form, such as a tunnel through a mountain for a road. If you were to drill through anything, you have still created only one hole. In the case of a road-tunnel as a relatable analogy, there are two openings from one hole in the terrain. Sorry to say, this is a question on many an engineering test, and to say that there are two holes is a failing answer. The entire question is a play on semantics, but is important to understand in mechanical engineering. Hopefully the above explanation tells you why, but I can see where your argument comes from, because it would seem to make sense that way.
@@lauroneto3360 But that tunnel makes ONE long hole through...It's not the means that define a hole, it is the ends (no pun intended). See my earlier reply, I didn't see this one, but it's answered there.
A straw has 2 holes because the hole is defined as the opening. Everything past the hole is the tube, until it either reaches a deadend or another hole as an exit.
Me after reading title: Obviously two....... Ohh sorry one. Uhhh........No......,. Maybe i should click on video. (I would have clicked either to know your views) Thnx for 100 likes!!!!! Never got more than 6.
A hole is in one direction of an object where an opening exist on its surface. So two things to check for the qualification of a whole is: 1. You should be able to identify what the object is for the opening of the hole. 2. The direction in which that opening extends to, that doesn’t create any angles. Any opening to the side of that hole branches on, that would be an opening of a new hole just as stated for the “additional” holes in a cup or bucket. Therefore a common straw is one hole but if you bend the straw to have created an angle, then it have created two connecting holes. Then if you straighten that straw again two create back on hole, that has become a transforming hole.
a straw has 2 holes, or even more sometimes, a hole is a concave curvature that helps something go into it. A macaroni has 3 holes. a straw has the minimum of 2 holes, it it is bent like a macaroni, 3, it if has those thinks that make it stretch, there are several ring shaped holes in it too.
My extremely un-useful personal flow chart for holes Is it designed to have a single opening all the way through? (ex straw or ring) Yes : 1 hole No: Continue Does it have more openings than designed in the axial direction? (ex cup with no bottom) Yes : 2 holes No : continue Is the object designed so a different group of stuff comes out of each of the 'n' openings? (ex shirt has n=4 openings: a torso, left arm, right arm, and head opening) Yes : n holes No : probably a not all the way through hole (see postulate 3) Postulates of Holes 1) A system with 'n' holes in it that has 'k' more opening poked/added to it (without affecting any of the current 'n' holes) will have n+k holes (unless stated otherwise by stage 1 of the flowchart) 2) A hole that is extended through the use of another system with 'k' holes will turn into 1+(k-1) holes Ex. Use of pipes to extend a hole 3) A hole that does not go all the way through is to be considered a hole unless it is arbitrarily decided that its diameter or width to height ratio is too large 4) Holes that are deemed too small by postulate 1 are to be called dents or divots and are to be treated as lesser citizens of society 5) Holes can neither be created nor destroyed; their power can only be captured and harnessed
1 hole. Even if you "poke more holes into the material connecting with the hole" it just means you made the 1 hole bigger. One hole can have many entrance/exits (openings). If you "poke a hole" in the cup and don't go all the way through, connecting to the hole of the cup, you have 2 holes; but if it goes through, it means you made the whole a little bigger, with a new entrace/exit (opening).
It is not 1 hole, it is 2 holes?, unless it is bent, then there are 3 holes, and some have seans in it that help if bent, each of those tiny seans would be a hole each, (a ring shaped hole)
shopping cart in mathematics you can define a lot of infinites. The space between 1 and 2 (1,2) seems like a finite “thing” however if you think of it, there is an infinite amount between them. Same thing happens with a 2D hole, you do not have the “depth restriction” so between point A(beginning) and point B(ending) there are infinite holes
I'm a mechanical engineer, and we define a hole as the process used to make the hole. A hole is drilled or punched through its host. I don't consider objects like extruded tube or rolled plate to have a hole. They have an ID, or inner diameter, but not a hole.
If the straw had two holes then both of them have an entrance and an exit, where the hole starts and ends. Now, where are the exits of the two holes? The entrances are obviously at the two end points of the straw. But starting from one of the these and going through the hole, in which point do you say that stop, this is the end of the hole we started from? You get the point.
so if you enter your homes front door you are incapable of exiting that same door? a doorway is Literally a hole. a hole can be both entrance and exit.
Try this one on. In this example one end of the straw is the inside circumference of the hole and the other end of the straw is the outside circumference of the straw. So we can say it has width. The straw also has length from one end to the other. It also has a depth or the thickness of the straw. Connecting the inside and outside together. Making it a three dimensional object with a through hole contained by a two-dimensional plane. Allowing travel in both directions. Yet entering and exiting a single hole. So a straw has a single through hole. Imagine standing outside your house looking to crawl through a window because you forgot your keys. The outside of your house being a single two-dimensional plane and if you crawl through the window and then back out. I think you would say that that's pretty silly. But that you also crawled in and out of the same window or a single hole. Like the straw. But if you hoped through the window again walk through your house and out a window on another wall or second two dimensional plane. You could say you traveled through two holes. Yes it's a second hole but it's not as simple as one plus one equals two. It is just one and one. Even though you could argue the two holes are connected by the volume of the cube being the inside of your home. You cannot go through both holes at the same time. I guess what I'm saying is I'm on the side of those who agree there is only one hole in a straw. But I am open to hearing the opinions of those on the other side of the matter. California has called A Last Straw and has declined to comment or propagate the debate on any Star related issues. In the hopes that in just a few years the youth of said state will be like umm straw holes what now?
8:06 so your saying you poked HOLES so theres more than one but also it is just one hole because a hole is the emty space so it depends on what you are refering to.
lol, the house even with roof has a hole inside. that's why we are able to move.... because it's nothing there... but to your question, house, with no roof, is NOT considered as hole!!!! because you're question isn't what you wanted to ask.... take a good at your question and my answer!! hint: house is NOT hole!
The problem exists with language. We use the word "hole" to describe visible circles or tunnels in a material. We also use the word to describe the absence of the material. Therefore there are 2 definitions used interchangeably without us even realizing it. The first definition being that a hole is an absence of material. This defines a hole as "nothing" and while you can say a material has more "nothing" or less "nothing," it is a single measurement of different magnitude. Therefore, one hole. The second definition of a hole is a circle or tunnel through a material. These can be counted as individual entities as we are actually referring to the physical shapes of the material. This is the problem with language. We choose to say "there are 2 holes in this paper" instead of "I can see 2 circles punched out of this paper"
It have one hole which is opened or can be entered from two hole openings opposite or in any directions.you can apply this to any number of hole openings at different positions
To settle this matter once and for all we need to understand the concept of Genus of a surface and for me a straw is topologicallly equivalent to a thorus hence of Genus one. Conclusion, a straw has one hole and that's final
Just out of curiosity at 5:06 you said the inside of the ring would never meet as the "two sides would never meet" so my question is does a whole or the inside of a circle have 1 side, 2 sides or more sides? I am asking on behalf of my child who asked me. Thank you.
I think that it depends on how it is formed, if it is formed bending an object around, it has0. If it is formed drilling one hole that goes through, 1. And if you drill two holes that find each other (interrupted holes) you have 2 holes.
so I drill a blind hole. I stop half way through. I flip it 180' and drill another blind hole that PERFECTLY lines up inverted with the other blind hole and they join making a through hole. how many holes? according to your reasoning its both. and it kind of is. a hole is not the same thing as a through hole. a through hole is a construct. a construct of 2 holes that line up with each other to form a cylindrical void. a through hole literally requires 2 holes to exist.
Nerys to me that is two holes. But if you drill a through hole in one shot to me that is a hole with two apertures. A hole requires 2 apertures to exist so if we go back to the example you said those 2 holes have 4 apertures and share apertures right where the first hole ended, and the other two are on the faces of the object
I could be wrong here. I don't think I am but its entirely possible. HOLE=APERTURE you are using the word hole 2 different ways. it has a hole in it. dig a hole their. same word two different meanings. in this context aperture/opening/doorway/hole are all the exact same word. @@scarlfpv8613
Nerys as im not from english speaking country i could be mixing stuff but what i wanna say is that a hole has two openings and 2 blind holes that find each other share openings right in between of those holes and the other two openings are at the end of each hole
OK I will end this argument for good, here goes. For the cup, I argue that a hole can be mathematically described as a void that is present and in one or more cross-sectional 2D plains perpendicular to the hole in any 2D or 3D object. This means that multiple holes in the sides of a cup cannot be a part of the same hole that twists around as there is no physical object to take a cross-sectional 2D plain from to see the hole in (the hole must be completely enveloped, so a 'c' or 'u' shape does not count). In addition to this, two points create a straight line. So if only two parts have a cross-sectional 2D plain that shows a hole, the hole must be straight, so it cannot bend around a cup, but it can go straight through the middle of the cup and remain as one hole. However A bent pipe has one hole. A circular radius of a bend can be a described as an infinite number of lines making up an infinite amount of corners. Because an infinite amount of cross-sectional 2D plains can be taken from every part of the hole, the holes in the cross-sectional 2D plains can be considered to be part of the same hole. Therefore, a straw, bent or not has one hole but multiple holes in a cup cannot bend and twist around it to be a single hole. Case closed. Damm that is the smartist thing I have said in a long while.

You’re over-complicating it with philosophy when it’s literally a linguistic ambiguity question.
The straw has 1 tunnel/tubing, and 2 entry points. Since a hole can mean either, you get ambiguity.
So when you say there’s 2 holes, you’re talking about the holes at the entry points, of which there are 2. When you say theres only 1 hole, you’re talking about one tubing that lead to 2 separate entry/exit points.
Because it may be the “same hole” but it’s also not “the same hole” if you go out one hole from the other.
When you suck on the straw, are you saying you are sucking from either the bottom hole or the top hole and it doesn’t matter? Of course it does. Linguistic flaw, not a philosophical one

Clearing up the linguistics is very important, but it serves to only improve the quality of the questions asked.

A straw is just the same shape of a ring, but longer. So it's 1 hole
Its just one stretched hole
Agreed
Exactly
it's two holes because a straw is a cylinder. In terms of surface a cylinder has a top , a bottom, and one side. In the particular case of the straw, the top is a hole, hole number 1, and the bottom is a hole, hole number 2 since, as you'll aɡree the top is not also the bottom, they are different thinɡs.
If it had just one openinɡ (like a cup) would you say it has the same or equal numbers of holes as the straw? Despite a cup beinɡ a cylinder, havinɡ a top, a bottom, and a side, only 1 of which is a hole.
Further more, if you still percieve a straw as havinɡ just one hole, why can't cups be used as straws and straws as cups if they are structurally the same, that is both beinɡ cylinders with just one hole?
Casimir III wrong. The straw is a single plain, considering it is connected for the whole length. If you sealed a straw on top and bottom with a flat plastic, and made a hole on both sides smaller than the inner diameter of the straw, that’s 2 holes. If the diameter of the hole is consistent with the inner diameter, or graduation of the straw for the entire length or Depth, it is singular. If you only covered 1 side with a flat plastic and made a hole smaller than the diameter of the inner diameter of the straw, then that’s 2 holes because a second plain has been introduced. A straw only has a singular plain because if you split it down the length, it becomes a cylindrical sheet that could be laid flat without further modifications needed
What about no hole?
0 holes: If you consider the straw as a complete object - like a rolled up plane - if you have a hole in a straw, it doesn't work anymore, since you're going to pull air.
1 hole: If you consider a straw to be a solid object with a hole through it.
2 holes: If you consider a straw to be a hollow cylinder with a hole at the top and the bottom of it.
If you add a hole to a bucket or a cup, it has 1 hole. The opening at the top is what makes it a bucket or cup.
Another way to look at it: Try to flatten it (you can change the shape/stretch/shrink/bend it however you want)
A straw would become a disc with 1 hole.
A bucket/cup would become a disc with no holes (ever put a yogurt cup into the oven?)
A shirt would become a disc with 3 holes (the bottom part would become the outer edge of the disc)

For me it's one hole. If you cut off 1mm of a straw I am pretty sure everyone would say it has one hole, so should 20cm of straw have two holes? At which point does one hole become two?
Technically a hole is entrance into a pipe or crevasse. The hole is the top part, not the entire straw. Even one mm of straw would have 1 holes, because in theory it is a pipe that is 1mm long. Only a 2 dimensional object can be a hole. Imagine your take an infinitely thin slice of the top of the straw, there is your hole.
@@brianfeuerman1732 Well, as this video proofed, there is no correct answer...
I think the same way to... If the straw was small enough everyone would agree that a straw has one hole
But due to the being long they r logically considered to have 2 holes
But mathematically a straw has one hole
When he punched a hole in the paper, he created a hole that can not be removed by modifying the object. If you cut the straw length wise, you can modify it and it has no holes. So a straw has no holes.

I define a hole as a missing piece of something. A straw, thus doesn't have any holes, not if it's a functioning one at least.
But a straw does have an entry and an exit. If a straw were to have holes, those holes would allow liquid to escape from the main straw line.
Bottom line, if it's a missing part, then it's a hole.
Look at a structure of a cylinder aka a straw. There are two circles top and bottom to make straws they remove these 2 circles in order to make the straw. 2 circles are missing from the straw therefore creating two holes.
@@uvgalaxyxd7068 But what if that is not how they make it? What if you start with a flat sheet of plastic, roll it into a tube and then seal the edges where it joins? Nothing ever pierced or penetrated the sheet of plastic and no material was removed to make the tubular shape.
@@lestranged Then its subjective to the manufacturer.
@@uvgalaxyxd7068 So then there is no hole if it is made the way I described.

In 3D space it's one or two holes.
In 2D space however it's zero holes as it's just a flat sheet looped around on itself.
Similar to how classical explorers thought the earth was flat but they were only thinking in 2D space. in 3D space we know the earth is a sphere.
Also to comment on your idea, cups or straws or even things with multiple openings would all be one hole as they are just different openings all connected to the one collective nothingness. The liquid jsut has multiple openings of this singular nothingness in which to flow through.
The reality of this question is, the anawer is entirely based on how a hole is defined.
Guys guys if you fold it it's still 1 hole because folding it doesn't mean it does not have a little tiny hole through the paper because you folded the hole an atom has some space between the other atoms... wait doesn't that mean it has like.. a million holes because there is space between a atom?

You're not putting more holes in it; you're expanding it.
A straw is a through hole.
Period.
a through hole is not a hole. its a through hole.
a through hole has 2 openings instead of a blind hole with 1 opening.
a hole is literally another word for an opening. 2 openings. 2 holes.
period.
so if you convert engineering parlance to english a blind hole is 1 hole 1 opening. a through hole is 2 holes 2 openings forming a single "through hole"
think of it this way. you have a cylinderical hallway. I place an opening at each end of the hallway. how many openings in the hallway? 2
how many entrances/exits in the hallway? 2
I just made a LIFESIZE straw. in this context opening = entrance = exit = hole. they are all synonyms for the same thing.
the hallway has 2 holes. 2 openings. its LITERALLY a lifesize giant straw.
a straw has 2 openings. 2 holes. together that forms what engineers call a "through hole" a totally separate construct from a hole. since it requires 2 holes to make 1 through hole.
you are confused because they are using the same word to mean 2 different things.

I did too, the hole time.
A hole must have a container, so when you poked 2 holes in the paper, they were actually two holes because they have 2 separate containers. A hole is a lack of solid, and it must have a solid container; otherwise, the whole universe is just a hole!!!
Edit: The container must have an ellipse opening.
Finally, you can't say that a hole bends unless there is a clear container that is bent.
Lol exactly wut I said whilst watching
You are not correct a hole is not a lack of a solid it is not a space inside that is a cavity the whole is the theoretical construct plane that we described as the opening between the object the inside world and the outside world the cavity a hole is not a thing it is a description
Maybe if there's an absolute answer to this, then maybe we can define how are things originated, like who/what created who/what. Because a hole is just a space.

Philosopher of Nonsense Its a good answer. But an ACTUAL straw its never a solid cilindre that the manufacturer drills from top to bottom. Its more likely that the object was a hollow cilindre with filled bottom and top. That eventually got cut out. So its 2 holes there.
Or, if the straw was solid and someone drilled it all the way, maybe he drilled from top to middle and then from bottom to middle. Which makes 2 holes as well. Like those guys making a tunnel from UK to France that found each other in the middle of the way.
@@lauroneto3360 *cylinder is the English spelling (not being rude, just being helpful)
What I was saying is exactly how that logic is flawed (no offense, but you have to see this with the right perspective). A "hole" is, by definition, two-dimensional, as in there is a hole on both dimensions like both sides of a piece of paper. But a straw is a 3-dimensional shape. The means at which you achieve a hollow cylinder are irrelevant, you still have a hole through a cylinder. Without that hole, it would be a rod.
Drinking straws, like PVC pipe, are made by a process called "slip-forming", there is no drilling involved. In manufacture, they can make straws 600 feet long if they wished, the product itself is merely plastic tubing cut to length. If left uncut by the slicer, the machine would produce an endless tube until you ran out of plastic.
If you are familiar with 3D modeling with "primitives" (simple shapes), you are familiar with a cylinder. To put a hole through that cylinder would make it like a straw (or "hollow cylinder" in geometrical terminology)...but you only put ONE hole through it. That one hole has resulted in two openings, which is definitive of a tunnel. There is ONE hole through the cylinder, but two openings, the same applies to any form, such as a tunnel through a mountain for a road. If you were to drill through anything, you have still created only one hole. In the case of a road-tunnel as a relatable analogy, there are two openings from one hole in the terrain.
Sorry to say, this is a question on many an engineering test, and to say that there are two holes is a failing answer. The entire question is a play on semantics, but is important to understand in mechanical engineering. Hopefully the above explanation tells you why, but I can see where your argument comes from, because it would seem to make sense that way.
@@lauroneto3360 But that tunnel makes ONE long hole through...It's not the means that define a hole, it is the ends (no pun intended). See my earlier reply, I didn't see this one, but it's answered there.

A hole is in one direction of an object where an opening exist on its surface.
So two things to check for the qualification of a whole is:
1. You should be able to identify what the object is for the opening of the hole.
2. The direction in which that opening extends to, that doesn’t create any angles.
Any opening to the side of that hole branches on, that would be an opening of a new hole just as stated for the “additional” holes in a cup or bucket.
Therefore a common straw is one hole but if you bend the straw to have created an angle, then it have created two connecting holes. Then if you straighten that straw again two create back on hole, that has become a transforming hole.
a straw has 2 holes, or even more sometimes, a hole is a concave curvature that helps something go into it. A macaroni has 3 holes. a straw has the minimum of 2 holes, it it is bent like a macaroni, 3, it if has those thinks that make it stretch, there are several ring shaped holes in it too.
A hole can also easily have a hole in it. Just make waviness going in a wave and then add some depth
My extremely un-useful personal flow chart for holes
Is it designed to have a single opening all the way through? (ex straw or ring)
Yes : 1 hole
No: Continue
Does it have more openings than designed in the axial direction? (ex cup with no bottom)
Yes : 2 holes
No : continue
Is the object designed so a different group of stuff comes out of each of the 'n' openings? (ex shirt has n=4 openings: a torso, left arm, right arm, and head opening)
Yes : n holes
No : probably a not all the way through hole (see postulate 3)
Postulates of Holes
1) A system with 'n' holes in it that has 'k' more opening poked/added to it (without affecting any of the current 'n' holes) will have n+k holes (unless stated otherwise by stage 1 of the flowchart)
2) A hole that is extended through the use of another system with 'k' holes will turn into 1+(k-1) holes
Ex. Use of pipes to extend a hole
3) A hole that does not go all the way through is to be considered a hole unless it is arbitrarily decided that its diameter or width to height ratio is too large
4) Holes that are deemed too small by postulate 1 are to be called dents or divots and are to be treated as lesser citizens of society
5) Holes can neither be created nor destroyed; their power can only be captured and harnessed
Lmao love it
My concept of holes is much simplier, every hole is a goal.
OMG THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY IN THE WORLD!
Don't you mean "the hole world"
1 hole. Even if you "poke more holes into the material connecting with the hole" it just means you made the 1 hole bigger.
One hole can have many entrance/exits (openings). If you "poke a hole" in the cup and don't go all the way through, connecting to the hole of the cup, you have 2 holes; but if it goes through, it means you made the whole a little bigger, with a new entrace/exit (opening).
It is not 1 hole, it is 2 holes?, unless it is bent, then there are 3 holes, and some have seans in it that help if bent, each of those tiny seans would be a hole each, (a ring shaped hole)

Same thing happens with a 2D hole, you do not have the “depth restriction” so between point A(beginning) and point B(ending) there are infinite holes
_Holey_ crap, I've been asking this question for forever
holey crap he made a pun
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very epic
I'm a mechanical engineer, and we define a hole as the process used to make the hole. A hole is drilled or punched through its host. I don't consider objects like extruded tube or rolled plate to have a hole. They have an ID, or inner diameter, but not a hole.

Guest - The World's fist

If the straw had two holes then both of them have an entrance and an exit, where the hole starts and ends. Now, where are the exits of the two holes? The entrances are obviously at the two end points of the straw. But starting from one of the these and going through the hole, in which point do you say that stop, this is the end of the hole we started from?
You get the point.
so if you enter your homes front door you are incapable of exiting that same door? a doorway is Literally a hole.
a hole can be both entrance and exit.
Try this one on. In this example one end of the straw is the inside circumference of the hole and the other end of the straw is the outside circumference of the straw. So we can say it has width. The straw also has length from one end to the other. It also has a depth or the thickness of the straw. Connecting the inside and outside together. Making it a three dimensional object with a through hole contained by a two-dimensional plane. Allowing travel in both directions. Yet entering and exiting a single hole. So a straw has a single through hole. Imagine standing outside your house looking to crawl through a window because you forgot your keys. The outside of your house being a single two-dimensional plane and if you crawl through the window and then back out. I think you would say that that's pretty silly. But that you also crawled in and out of the same window or a single hole. Like the straw. But if you hoped through the window again walk through your house and out a window on another wall or second two dimensional plane. You could say you traveled through two holes. Yes it's a second hole but it's not as simple as one plus one equals two. It is just one and one. Even though you could argue the two holes are connected by the volume of the cube being the inside of your home. You cannot go through both holes at the same time. I guess what I'm saying is I'm on the side of those who agree there is only one hole in a straw. But I am open to hearing the opinions of those on the other side of the matter. California has called A Last Straw and has declined to comment or propagate the debate on any Star related issues. In the hopes that in just a few years the youth of said state will be like umm straw holes what now?
1 question and he manages to make a10min video!
8:06 so your saying you poked HOLES so theres more than one but also it is just one hole because a hole is the emty space so it depends on what you are refering to.
Straw has no holes, since it is a thin walled uncapped cylinder by design, if you break thay surface, then it has a hole, same way a cup has no hole
Antyobject xd
I think it's one hole with two ends
So is a house with no roof considered as a hole ??🤔
yes
lol, the house even with roof has a hole inside. that's why we are able to move.... because it's nothing there...
but to your question, house, with no roof, is NOT considered as hole!!!! because you're question isn't what you wanted to ask.... take a good at your question and my answer!! hint: house is NOT hole!
Indeed
A house with no roof is a blind hole in engineering terms until you start opening windows and doors then you get an interrupted holes.
Yep
The problem exists with language. We use the word "hole" to describe visible circles or tunnels in a material. We also use the word to describe the absence of the material. Therefore there are 2 definitions used interchangeably without us even realizing it. The first definition being that a hole is an absence of material. This defines a hole as "nothing" and while you can say a material has more "nothing" or less "nothing," it is a single measurement of different magnitude. Therefore, one hole. The second definition of a hole is a circle or tunnel through a material. These can be counted as individual entities as we are actually referring to the physical shapes of the material. This is the problem with language. We choose to say "there are 2 holes in this paper" instead of "I can see 2 circles punched out of this paper"

2019: How many holes a straw has
Hole li mole li yes haha
Now I feel a hole in my heart.
Ok now i had a doubt if how many holes does a "Y shaped" straw have? Does it have 3 holes? I need reply to clear my doubt @action lab??
It’s no holes. Because what if you folded the straw into a cylinder shape. It was a rectangle with no holes but now people think it has some ?
Using that logic, I'd say a donut too doesn't have a hole. Yet it does
GOBLET OF FIYAH!!! It could if you think of it like they push out the center but if the wrapped it into a circle shape then it wouldn’t.
Your comment got a ❤️ from Action Lab!
Lol....🤣
Sprojo no it didn’t
The Action Lab replied: hahaha good one!
It have one hole which is opened or can be entered from two hole openings opposite or in any directions.you can apply this to any number of hole openings at different positions
Haaaaa he said A-hole “6.57”
To settle this matter once and for all we need to understand the concept of Genus of a surface and for me a straw is topologicallly equivalent to a thorus hence of Genus one. Conclusion, a straw has one hole and that's final
Fellatio and Anal. Nuff said
Just out of curiosity at 5:06 you said the inside of the ring would never meet as the "two sides would never meet" so my question is does a whole or the inside of a circle have 1 side, 2 sides or more sides? I am asking on behalf of my child who asked me. Thank you.
Action Lab: so this is actually only one hole in it but that hole is bending and i-
Me: JUST TELL ME IF A STRAW HAS 1 OR 2 HOLEZ.
I think that it depends on how it is formed, if it is formed bending an object around, it has0. If it is formed drilling one hole that goes through, 1. And if you drill two holes that find each other (interrupted holes) you have 2 holes.
so I drill a blind hole.
I stop half way through.
I flip it 180' and drill another blind hole that PERFECTLY lines up inverted with the other blind hole and they join making a through hole.
how many holes? according to your reasoning its both.
and it kind of is. a hole is not the same thing as a through hole. a through hole is a construct. a construct of 2 holes that line up with each other to form a cylindrical void.
a through hole literally requires 2 holes to exist.
Nerys to me that is two holes. But if you drill a through hole in one shot to me that is a hole with two apertures. A hole requires 2 apertures to exist so if we go back to the example you said those 2 holes have 4 apertures and share apertures right where the first hole ended, and the other two are on the faces of the object
I could be wrong here. I don't think I am but its entirely possible.
HOLE=APERTURE
you are using the word hole 2 different ways. it has a hole in it. dig a hole their. same word two different meanings.
in this context aperture/opening/doorway/hole are all the exact same word.
@@scarlfpv8613
Nerys as im not from english speaking country i could be mixing stuff but what i wanna say is that a hole has two openings and 2 blind holes that find each other share openings right in between of those holes and the other two openings are at the end of each hole
1:50 There IS a hole that can exist by itself - a black hole. Big ass star carcass doesn't need friends lol
Nevermind
OK I will end this argument for good, here goes.
For the cup, I argue that a hole can be mathematically described as a void that is present and in one or more cross-sectional 2D plains perpendicular to the hole in any 2D or 3D object. This means that multiple holes in the sides of a cup cannot be a part of the same hole that twists around as there is no physical object to take a cross-sectional 2D plain from to see the hole in (the hole must be completely enveloped, so a 'c' or 'u' shape does not count). In addition to this, two points create a straight line. So if only two parts have a cross-sectional 2D plain that shows a hole, the hole must be straight, so it cannot bend around a cup, but it can go straight through the middle of the cup and remain as one hole. However A bent pipe has one hole. A circular radius of a bend can be a described as an infinite number of lines making up an infinite amount of corners. Because an infinite amount of cross-sectional 2D plains can be taken from every part of the hole, the holes in the cross-sectional 2D plains can be considered to be part of the same hole. Therefore, a straw, bent or not has one hole but multiple holes in a cup cannot bend and twist around it to be a single hole.
Case closed.
Damm that is the smartist thing I have said in a long while.
Gotta say your thought processes about this were awesome! There were ways of defining the "hole" I never even remotely thought about!
