      This one is reallly hard to understand if your brain is not accustomed to thinking in infinites and using assumptions to make other assumptions. Like I bet math majors would be able to follow this quite a bit easier than most people for that reason

    This video is incredible. In only 24 minutes Michael took a concept that is utterly incomprehensible, separated it into a number of smaller parts, and turned it into a concept that is utterly incomprehensible. One might say he Banach-Tarski'd the shit out of it.

      If u watch it infinite number of times, the information u find is gonna keep increasing, as every time you watch it, your brain gets somethings that it didn't get the last time. Eventually, you will end up with infinite knowledge wtf
      It's 1:00 am.
      Don't you dare say I'm wrong.
      Actually..It maybe a hyperwebster... Caus' infinite knowledge can be divided into two parts:
      1. Infinite knowledge
      2. Infinite knowledge.
      Basically, U have infinite amount of infinite knowledge.

      The funniest thing is that when we were kids, we would say that. Then as high schoolers, we thought infinity = infinity + 1 and made fun of people. But actually, in terms of ordinal numbers (where omega is the smallest infinity - countable infinity), omega is smaller than omega + 1, which is smaller than omega + 2, etc. This is different than cardinal numbers, like aleph-0, where aleph-0 + 1 = aleph-0.
      The whole point is that people have their own ideas about how to define everything, which is pretty epic in my opinion.
      Mathy explanation of the difference below:
      When defining the ordinal numbers, we take 0 = the empty set, and S(n) = n union {n}. Thus, the nth natural number is the union of all the natural numbers before it. Omega is the union of all the natural numbers, then. And then adding one more element to the set grows it, clearly.
      The cardinal numbers are defined as the distinct isomorphism classes in the category of all sets. That is, if you can map every element in one set to every element in the other set, they're in the same isomorphism class. So, as it turns out, when taking about these, we could totally map a set with omega elements to an element with omega + 1 elements. So in that sense, infinity + 1 = infinity.
      Weird, right? It's the best part about math, that the further and further we dive into trying to explain everything, we find more and more unanswerable questions.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_paradox_of_the_Grand_Hotel
      Coincedentally, your thought is similar to a mathematican who lived in the 20th century.
      It goes like this :
      If the hotel is already full, and guest (from room) 1 move to room 2, guest 2 move to room 3 and so on, every guest will have a room to move into, and somehow from a full hotel you manage to create an empty room (room 1) out of thin air. Now you have a room.
      Even if an infinite guest show up and the hotel is already full, guest 1 can move to room 2, guest 2 to room 4, guest 3 to room 6, guest n to room 2n. There will be an infinite number of empty room (room 1, 3, 5, ,7 ,9, etc) appeared for those new guest.
      But, it does not just stop there. If you host a pyramid scheme in that hotel, everybody will gain and nobody will lose their money, because there are always more people to be involved in the scheme.

      Let's say you and your friend are playing "guess natural number", because there are countable amount of natural numbers, you will eventually guess your friend's number. Why? Because you can list all of the elements: after 1 comes 2, after 2 comes 3 and so on. In case of real numbers there is no "next" element. What comes after 1? 1.0001? Or maybe 1.0000001?
