    "Is that one of the weirdest things that ever happened on Numberphile?" - "It's in the top 10."
    The other 9 places are all taken by Cliff Stoll.

    The enantiomer of thalidomide that causes birth defects is also the one that is used to treat multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis - basically it has an anti-angiogenic property. (It also works as an immunomodulator)

    Thinking about other knotty Numberphile videos - if Ayliean had Cliff Stoll's 'Tentacles Akimbo' extensions and Sylvain Cappell's Noo Yawk way of saying 'Reidemeister moves' she'd be sorted.
    (Actually scrap that, 'Reidemeister moves' sounds just as lovely in Scottish.)

    I love how she persuades everyone into being a mathematician. That's the same thing I teach all my music students: Everyone understands music, in his/her own level, be it a musicologist or "just" listener. I think that applies for all fields in life.

    When crossing your hands if you then grab a piece of string at either end with both hands. You can then uncross your hand without letting go and itll form an overhand knot! Kind of a way to do it alone.

    It is not true that two knots having the same invariant/s implies they are the same knot. What is true is that if two knots disagree on an invariant then they are necessarily different, but if two knots agree on an invariant/s (e.g. 3-colorability) then they are not necessarily the same. (a set of invariants where this converse is also true is known as a 'complete set of invariants')

    • @schweinmachtbree1013
      @schweinmachtbree1013 2 роки тому +3

      @@MrAlRats Yes that's right. There is not even a complete set of invariants for smooth manifolds (which are a well-behaved class of manifolds, which are themselves a well-behaved class of topological spaces). For smooth manifolds of dimension ≤ 3 there are complete sets of invariants (e.g. the classification of 2-manifolds, i.e. surfaces, is very simple; just the genus and whether or not the surface is orientable are a complete set of invariants), but for smooth manifolds of dimension ≥ 4 there is no complete set of invariants (it has been proven that no computable set of invariants can exist).
