Not Knot (Part 1/2)

at 7:28 i felt my brain ingnitig in flames instantly

[SquareWaveHeaven]

1:20 when two loops come apart from eachother, it is known to produce a sound similar to the star trek doors opening. Or is it closing?

[TheSujit123]

i ve started loving knot theory!

[jbichotte]

nice sound effects

[wenaolong]

This is what it is like to be inside a quantum computer and think you are real. This is what it is like to be rolled up into an image of reality which is underlaid by something which is what is and always has been the real reality. Sorry guys... you just don't want to know. Shhhh, don't look directly at the quantum computer stream!!

[rockorsario]

fuck it i better watch porn. lol jk

[r0b125]

this shit is wackkkkk

[cantormath]

check out

How did we go from proving a knot that is not a knot to a cone with cars on it?

[VeXorian1337]

So these are basically Venn diagrams?

[mrfujisawa]

my head 'sploded

[nuandii]

We live in a wall of mirrors....

[kionay]

"the point of a cone is special, its called a cone point" alright, ya lost me

[bigbagsofelephantsht]

but i didnt think the cone could ever become a cylinder? like always going halfway to a wall if you keep going half the distance you will never reach the wall no matter how close you get. how could the cone become a cylinder if it is always getting smaller the closer it is to the tip if the cone?

[Theo21Nickerson]

@bigbagsofelephantsht it stretched to INFINITY that changes everything

[dospook]

@bigbagsofelephantsht

consider a hyperboloid .... that where the cone cannot reach a cylinder a mirrored opposite cone is applied before the limit. The crux of a mirrored or opposing pyramidical cone...

[IriquoisPliskinn]

3:45 I bet the spent alot of time coming up with that name

[wado1942]

Interesting how mathematicians get to change the definitions of things without regard to common kno

[turkeyman64]

how so for economics?

[britoca]

not sure, it was just a guess, hence the word "maybe".

[turkeyman64]

what career areas would require an extensive knowledge of geometry like this?

[britoca]

quantum physics and astronomy are the obvious ones. Others I'm not sure, maybe some engineering fields and economics

[parkourGumby]

@turkeyman64 better answer: "who cares?"

[hypermorphism]

@turkeyman64 Also molecular biology, for which protein folding and simulation involves the application of many theorems in modern knot theory. Different environments influence proteins to fold in different ways, and two different folds of the same chemical formula usually yield completely different behaviors.

[Cmu6eh]

@turkeyman64 Mathematics

[defect530]

so if you are directly over a cone and its coming up at you to stab you in the face you would never see it? cool

[britoca]

a perfectly smooth cone, under perfect lighting, yes

[system0system0]

fucking amazing

[nmacgre]

Good movie....KNOT! See what I did there?

[SlashRocks145]

knot. yukyukyukyuk.....

ahahaha. flap jack.

and yea. icwotudidthar.

[ThePsycheoutFanClub]

haha!

[Supuhstar]

Thank goodness theory isn't reality.

[britoca]

black holes

[shakeeloo7]

these look like the light cones used in special relativity i think. notice how simple special relativity is compared to knot theory. just stretching a point in space gives us this crazy picture which is actually real!!! now think about what happens when we remove a sphere or a fuckin knot from space!

[aplasticfeast]

what if the whole universe is just like

one giant knot man

we just gotta untie it

[Muvlonion]

what would we achieve by that?

[YellowGoodbye]

Space/time travel, perhaps? You could manipulate the knot and tie it back together at different places. Also, if you're looking at string theory, it would be cool if you could manipulate the strings/closed strings into knots. Maybe?

[logoth80]

asuming universe is like that. knowledge of it does not give us tools to maniulate universe.

knowing there is 4th dimention doesnt make traveling in it possible, next dimensions would be even harder

[artem1002]

lol i love that theory

[RabbitMB]

@aplasticfeast good luck, fellow pothead

[wenaolong]

@aplasticfeast The knot-tiers won't let you....

[Smartguy1992]

Ahahah, I enjoyed the Megaman Charge-up sound effect while they were showing the first link being transformed into the Trillium shape.

A very interesting watch. But I'm nerdy like that. :B

[ShittyAssNigger]

cool

[DartmouthAlum96]

If you like this video, check out a book called THE CALCULUS WARS by Jason Socrates Bardi.  It's about the feud between Sir Isaac Newton and German mathamatician Leibniz over who actually invented calculus. It might sound dry, but it's a compelling read!

[dwyllie]

good video.

[PiBBP]

Thanks for uploading this video.

[mujaiii]

This is a really old video, made at Geometry Center (University of Minnesota), so they cannot change it in anyway. Besides, The Geometry Center does not exist anymore...

[Yakeyglee]

It would be nice if you would make the volume higher (on part 2 too).

[Yakeyglee]

pretty neat
