I've always wondered if the nature of irrational numbers, extremely large numbers, and imaginary numbers were just byproducts of the way we represent numbers. And the reason we cannot comprehend these numbers is because our number system is insufficient.
Or maybe it's the other way around. That we use this number system because that's the best system our brains can handle.

As the son of a British math teacher, let me just say: fuck you guys. No math week.
MATH GO HOME.

Jet Bin Fever - 2013-06-08 Lets at least pick something fun and easy to film if we're going to have another silly theme week.

EvilHomer - 2013-06-08 Did you know that math was responsible for the atomic bomb? Fact.

Change - 2013-06-08 Oh, ew, wait, you're British?
|
EvilHomer - 2013-06-08 Half British. My father's an immigrant. Oh, the hardships he faced as a first generation Oxford-educated Englishman! Why, he had to settle on a job as a math teacher because the New England prep school circuit didn't have any openings for philosophy teachers! Not for Limey, at any rate.
One day, we shall overcome.

I don't want Math(s) week. It would mean an endless series of 15 minute long videos with almost 0 entertainment value. Yes, math is neat, but we don't need 15 videos in a row of it.

gravelstudios - 2013-06-08 I'll have you know that I watched this channel for a good long while yesterday. Some of us like 15 minute videos with almost 0 entertainment value.

I was led to believe that Irrational Numbers were the Soviet response to Imaginary Numbers, an invention of the Americans, who sought to prove the decadence of Western Imperialism.

Math is proof that the ancient and prehistoric worlds were ineffably smarter than we are today. No one alive today could have come close to inventing math if it did not already exist. There isn't a single human alive that could even be remotely considered the same caliber of animal as the flea infested cave ape that figured out one and one are two. Cantor came close to being that cool, but he didn't even get to the part where math involved numbers before he went crazy. The idea of putting the numbers on the paper drove him manshit (apeshit is actually a compliment in math). It's just sad.

cognitivedissonance - 2013-06-08 Absolute bullshit. You might as well attempt to use linguistics as proof of a creator.
