Shit opinion. That video is an absolute banger. Keep yourself safe.
They sound like computers or AI’s that are teaching one another about shapes and it’s so interesting not to think of them as actual people
Makes it easier to watch for me
It might be a weird way to look at it, but I imagine it as a benevolent AI teaching some guy the forbidden knowledge of how to turn a sphere inside out

Yeah, I saw a comment that they're bored gods toying with reality to pass the time, and that's canon to me now
Yeah...
I just spent 21 minutes of my life watching a video on how to invert a fictional sphere in another plane of existence. My life is now complete.
I found out that there are more episodes of this, but I can’t seem to find them. I guess my life isn’t as complete as yours is.

Lmao same, I can finally die now 🤣
this is like a video of two bored gods playing around with abstract reality

According to the video's script, their names are Xanthippe and Yorick, which really only reinforces the impression that they're gods…

Would make for a pretty boring world tbh.
It's a world of empathy, and empathy inherently requires a point where you put your feelings over other's feelings, and vice versa. Without a point, or a line that cannot be crossed emotionally, we'd lose individuality. Think of Childhood's End by Arthur Clarke; wouldn't you call it an utopia gone dystopia, because everyone is everyone and no one at the same time?

"we did something impossible, heres how"
"just use an impossible material of course"
Well it's a hypothetical thing, but the what's important here is that it's possible to do the task at hand, something I sure people previously thought would be impossible no matter how you slice it
Maths am i right
It was impossible to compute the square root of negative numbers so a mathematician invented imaginary and complex numbers to solve the problem.
This video is similar to that in principal.
@@njackson6807 They're using a fairly arbitrary set of rules though. I mean, if someone asked me "can you turn a sphere inside out without puncturing it", I certainly wouldn't imagine a material that can move through itself but can't be creased. why would I?
I think its safe to say that this whole thing is safely within the realm of purely theoretical math that will never have a real world application. Its just mathematicians mentally masturbating =)
"Guys I have an idea, we can just cirumvent the problem with sharp bents if we use a material that can handle sharp bends"

Can we take a second to think about how hard it was for the graphic designer to understand this and furthermore animate this?
That's why they used a software to do it. A software used for exactly this kind of stuff.
@@twgever7395 well yeah, but someone had to design the software to do so and actually use that software to do this. still very difficult, especially in 1994
@@mlgpro2241 yeah, but still it's not a random graphic designer. The software was made by specilists, who knew what they were doing. And the realization was clearly mad by mathmaticians, who knew what they were doing.

@@pp7x79 This is a branch of math known as Topology and is well-known for being used in Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which predicted the existence of *blackholes* and *gravitational waves.* This type of material that can stretch infinitely and pass through itself (but can't be torn) perfectly describes the fabric of spacetime we live in.

How tortured is the mind of the artist that could contemplate this then put it to animation
