I think this is a good video to show that mathematical reality isn't the same as objective reality, and yet modern physics is based on it. I think this fact is very important that observation should be done before an hypothesis is formed from mathematical calculations---like things created out of nothing. If observation cannot be observed, how can one know the math is actually showing objective reality, and if objective reality is not what reality is, then what is it? :eek: And why is it assumed something has to be created, and is not just a fact?  :geek: :cool:
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

No problem strom.

Well said, Solitary!

I bumped in to this scrolling around the internet. I always love VSauce because it not only is informative, but it provokes some really deep questions on the watcher's part.

We had a genuine flat-earther here once. Didn't last long.

Anyone remember The Gods Must Be Crazy? The poor guy ran out to the edge of the earth to get rid of the evil pop bottle.
All hail my new signature!

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

Fun video that included things I didn't know.  I like that kind of stuff.

Ive always felt that Columbus is overrated and Eratosthenes is underrated.

I just subscribed to this channel not too long ago; the way I saw it, I had no choice.

Just be careful. VSauce videos are gateway videos to more videos. Once you watch, you just can't stop. You will be stuck in a vortex of VSauce that you can't get out of.

I have the problem with nostalgia critic videos.
