Elastic knots are really mind bending 

lol your comment was written 18 hours ago according to youtube. but nice video

Okay, normally I don't really pay attention to the sponsors, but this one actually has got my attention.

You are (clearly) not autistic, but your character has a lot of positive aspects that autistic people also have.

@@miil558 what do you even mean by this?

@@conorstewart2214 When you are looking at the qualities of a lot of autistic people you can see we have much attention to detail, methodical approaches of problems, skills in observation and absorbing information. Those are positive things that Steve Mould also has. Did I say something controversial? English isn't my first language so I'm sorry if I did.

we're right back to matt parker's 'you can't just show up and start cranking it'

Marvin the Martian strikes again!

i was about to comment the same 💀

Remember Marvin!

“Marvin the Marion”

But with 3 feet 😜

That’s what I’m calling it from now on.

@@mblend27 "It does still have a Marvin, though." (6:35)

@@JackFate76 that's one way to preserve a single lifestyle.

It’s a testament to my mind that I saw something else

Look at his eyes. He knew lol.

But are quarks?

I wanted to write this!

Well played

Not to be confused with knots that touch smaller knots

Good one.

For some reason I read that as a celtic knot and I was like ok makes sense. But I've never heard of a catholic knot

@@vlvchii It's a joke. non Self touching.

The only safe way to unpack it is to yeet it😂

The fun part is wrapping up the old ones in the same overlapping loops. Pretty terrifying, but ultimately satisfying.

Thats because if you dont yeet the blade across the shop it will yeet your fingers across the shop.

Spring loaded loops with teeth are scary!

BONZAI ! the shopping cry of the workshop ---- WELL SAID ! ---- from Canada J.

Knots are teenage boys.

Please do knot encourage those of us with naturally knotty minds.

I literally came here to point this out

@@CDCI3🤨

@@Nickakanugboy you did... what? 🤭

I just remembered that nitinol wire is also used in dental braces and my teeth hurt...

I've gotten pretty good at twisting those things back into shape.

I just close my eyes and apply pressure. Just like magic, they fold up as they should.

Probably got really satisfied at 8:00

I have one of those shades for my car. I have no idea how I know how to put it back in the bag, but if I question it it will become impossible. 😂

Noted!

You can also move the subtitles out of the way by dragging them, I just noticed

@@abacabdk3490Now, that's a handy tip. Thank you

@@abacabdk3490 this is what I did, yes

Yeah... it's always tragic when being validated becomes more important than being correct.

@@TheAgamemnon911 agree but there's a little more to it in this case. At that point in his life he hardly would have needed validation. Steve pointed out how lovely the idea was, even with the hindsight we're afforded today. I think Thompson was enamored with the idea of demonstrating a unified mechanics of the universe. He wasn't the first to aspire to that and he certainly wasn't the last.

You seem a big fan of the guy. But I've always associated him with absolute zero. 😂

@@dmk_games .... that was cold ... 😏

​@@yawnbergThat is more likely than wanting to be validated. Beyond that, during that time there wasn't really a great element understanding in the first place.

Un-knot, or simply: not

I guess you already know that the "Unknot" is the name of the most trivial knot- the circle. If you didn't know, great job picking the exact terminology!😂

😂

Beat me to it! 😂

Thanks! Fixed now

@@SteveMouldheads up: there’s a type in the title. “In” should be “is”

​@@NlNTENDOJAPAN omg Nintendo, stop trying to confuse Steve Mould

Heads up: There's a typo in the title. "Behave" should be "Beehive"

​@@NlNTENDOJAPANyuzu did nothing wrong

Two weeks top.

hell yeah pipe related fever dreams relateable

It reminded me of the opening sequence for series 3 of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

With the Arizona (?) Teapot randomly.

The second time I was hallucinating against my will was much more enjoyable, but more painful. A couple years after that I was traveling from Central CA to northern AZ to look at a potential college. I took a flight down to LA, then a flight to Pheonix, followed by a 7000 foot elevation drive. During it all, as soon as we took off on the first flight, my ears wouldn't pop and the pressure in my head was getting excruciating. We got to the city that the college was in and I immediately went to the hospital. I had a double ear infection, sinus infection, and an upper respiratory infection. They gave me some really good meds and some steroids for my asthma. That night, while in the hotel bed, I hallucinated a full orchestra performing a double concerto with violin and clarinet soloists. It was so beautiful and clear and lasted about 15 minutes. I received a $40,000 per semester scholarship there for music and astronomy, basically a full ride, but all that pain and discomfort I experienced was probably the main reason I didn't end up going there

@@Irondragon1945you could almost call them… pipe dreams.

Yeah--kinda laughing that people would pay just to experience the frustration of trying to put one of those away. It's all about framing I guess 🤭.

Definitely a very strong, efficient shape.

​@@ccoder4953RCE, is that you? 😂

My Marvin looks nothing like that 😔

LMFAO!@@faramoftae

😂😂😂

To explain somewhat, for those who are not familiar: take two tetrahedra, and cut off the corners (revealing several new faces, which I'll call truncation faces). If you allow yourself to deform these shapes like play-dough, and glue the non-truncation faces together in a certain way, the result will be essentially a doughnut with a knotted hole. If done correctly, that hole will be the figure-eight knot.

Oh Christ that sounds like it would end badly

Or closing it back up for disposal.

Safety glasses on 😊

Amen, keep your gloves on

Fire in the hole!

interesting

🤨 I know what you are

rather peculiar

I don't understand! ​@@intangible9838

I was looking for a comment about 2:26. Especially during the self-touching part. Thank you.

There need not be any further comments.

He really is one of the best science/math communicators out there! We are lucky to have him!

Algodoo

Much appreciated, sir! @@SteveMould

He has really great works on solid/geometric modeling as well.

You need to keep clear when you release one from the package. I throw them out on the floor.

Marvin the Martian 😂 whatever you say Steve

Would watching slo-mo videos of pouring coloured liquids help?

@@echognomecal6742 Yeah, that's what I thought too.

I doubt there's a single answer here. Say you're pouring A into B. If A is a solid (eg a marble) and B a liquid, any splash is all B. If A is a liquid and B a solid, it's all A. With both liquids, the situation is somewhere between these two extremes. Factors that will affect the ratio include the rate, height and angle at which A is poured, viscosity, density and surface tension.
