Mathematician REACTS To 'Animation Vs Geometry' | (Math Explained) 

I've watched numerous mathematicians, physicists, and even math students react to Alan's video, and indeed they can highlight many details. However, your video stood out the most as you were able to highlight nearly all of the references, even the smallest details that most would overlook on initial reaction, which is quite impressive. Also I love your energy!

OH WOW, the platonic solids as elements is actually in the animation!!! The tetrahedron was red, Octahedron was white and stood still in the air, Hexahedron made them descend cuz it's earth and it's heavy, and it was green, the Icosahedron was blue and the only one that bent and stretched when the 4D entity collided with it, and boom, Dodecahedron was yellow and the aether/universe, so it was able to contain it. HOLY COW.

there's actually an Animation vs. Physics before this, thought you might have missed it.

If you look closely when the Dodecahedron is thrown, a bunch of points on the 4-D creation connect/converge onto one spot and i believe thats what actually causes it to become trapped.

9:56 by counting half the sides and multiplying it by 2, I can confirm that this is a tetracontagon

I believe that the 4D object is actually a 24-cell polytope, but it’s difficult to tell with the way it’s animated so chaotically

I didn't know about the kite one!!! Thank you (that actually blew my mind)

Orange backing off of Phi means he probably got immediate flashbacks of how his encounter with Euler went

im so glad that you were able to recognize the 4d object as a 24 cell

What about the last nine seconds of the video. You should know by now that Alan Becker has animation all the way up to the very last second of his videos. There's subtle nod to an infinite cycle at the end.

Whoa! You're super quick to catch up on the little details, I didn't even think about a few of them until you mentioned it! This is defo one of the better analysis out there - I hope your channel grows bigger!

i hated math but after these three animations i saw i changed my mind its such a beautiful thing to study and without It would mean no time, no calendars, no buildings, no transportation, no recipes… the list goes on and on. Quite simply, all of the comforts which make our lives what they are today would be no more.

Never really liked geometry in school, but alan's animation really makes me wish i knew more about it. And your commentary was cherry on top, i was amazed all the way through

Looking through animations like this really makes me think mathematicians (and other nerds) during ancient times were already extremely big brain, way too ahead of their times.

My theory is the golden figure The Second Coming(the stickman) trapped the 24 cell in is 5D and that's why you see Animation Vs Physics The Second Coming in there. If you haven't watched Animation Vs Physics yet, you should, but in one scene, he goes into a black hole and reaches the singularity, so maybe he used it to look from a parallel universe

you have explained this better than many of the other youtubers that claim to be professionals at this topic to be honest

I understand that there is a 4D solution to the Dodecohedral universe theory equation that suggests that having several such objects touch along a fourth spacial dimension and then you would get the 'infinite reflection' effect showing here.

One physicist said there was a paper which suggested the shape of the universe was actually a dodecahedron.

I like how he enjoys the action and not only the explanation.

Sir, I watched a few reacts to this so far and the mathematical formulars and really good explanations earned you a sub. Keep up the good work :)

I love how you go in depth and detail to explain the complex parts

I can FEEL your pure joy and it makes me happy 🥺👍

21:10 As you said to listeners, IT REALLY BLOW MY MIND!!!! As one of person who very wondered the theorem referenced by the video. That formula was shocking! i'm absolutely have no idea that penrose tiles is also related with phi!!! It really appreciate to showing us that formula. FOR REAL!!

15:07 that is exactly what it is. A 24-cell "hyper diamond" 4D object

I'm gonna go on a limb and say that the 4th dimensional object was metatron's cube just because of the focus on the platonic solids.

I always find it funny when people say the universe is chaotic and random. Because from everything scientists have learned, none of it is. It’s just simply too high of a level for us to comprehend.

Amazing commentary, I enjoyed your detailed analysis of it. Rewatching it with someone who understands and enjoys it as much as I do while learning more concepts in the process is quite beneficial. Keep up the amazing work!

Ah man I'm so glad someone noticed the antagonist was a 4D object! I noticed it was looking real weird, so when I checked the comments of the video someone said it was a 4D object. I'm amazed by the things I learned from mathematicians was really neat! Like the 3D objects being thrown are actually different 'elements'. They even have physics that connect them to their element, like Fire always sitting point-up and can't be knocked over easily, Air floating upwards, Earth adding weight and dropping to the ground, Air bending and flexing as the 4D object strains against it... and of course what you noticed with Aether being the universe! I'm sure for the 4D object, it wasn't angry at our protagonists, but perhaps angry where it was as it wasn't with its other multi-dimensional objects? We can see once it's within the Aether, there's other higher dimension objects, and it seems to have calmed down. Perhaps it was lashing out like a caged wild animal thrashing in its containment, trying to find a way back home. That's why it was attacking at seemingly chaotic moments-it was lashing out at everything and anything to get back home.

27:00 My theory is that you can fight a 4-dimensional monster made of all platonic solids only with all platonic solids... And the perfect golden 12-sider at the end to finally destroy the monster.

I really like your cutaways going into greater depth about the specific part you are commenting and the related expanded equations. I find them really helpful and end up learning a lot more than I expected. Alan and a friend of his do a combo offical reaction video / director's comentary on all his animations on their channel "Animators vs Games". You might enjoy checking out their video when you have the free time.

A lot of this one is about the attempt of geometry to contain chaos and how the golden ratio has both been a tool, but also a bit of a thorn in the side of that because it constantly opens the door to chaotic non-periodic and fractal structures

Episode 1, reviewed. Now, you've skipped Episode 2 and have begun Episode 3.

I'm on my math journey. I'm very late but I'm running with a passion here lol

I do really love this video, you go super in depth and you are either an amazing actor or you just love doing these videos. One minor detail that doesn't matter a lot but I noticed is that you paused at the very end when "The End" showed up on screen and you missed out on the very minor detail on the circle moving like it did in the very start, I would've liked to hear what you would maybe have theorized why if you didn't pause. Mini theory I have is that it's a loop and one of the alternate oranges in the circle will exit the circle after making another line, which is why the symbol knew to not fear orange at the start, because they've done it before. That's all just my thoughts, again lovely vid.

i was thinking the universe inside of the dodecahedron at the end was an example of non-euclidean space, and that example u showed of dodecahedral space makes a lot of sense. neat recap!

Awesome video! Love your channel, keep it up -- your videos have been really helpful for things I don't understand/was wondering about! :D

Woah!! You caught all the references! Including Metatrons cube! 😁 You’re probably one of the first ones to fully understand and appreciate the references! I’m such a geek for all these references myself haha 💛 Though it’s more of a leisurely activity for me. Educating myself I mean

The polygon that Phi stopped at has 40 sides (I counted) Also I think, when TSC shoots the points at the 4d thingy, the timing is also somewhat representative of Phi

I think you were the only one to catch the reason why the platonic solids were those colors!

again you catch much more than any other reactor i have seen

What a Video... Who knowed, that Maths alone and a Stickman can make such a Good Story, and even Teach the REAL way of Math in many ways... I wonder where the Story with the Chosen One and all Those Maths will go, and also what the The chosen one Physics will play a Role in it. Math, Physics, Geometry, hmm im too hyped up for this

at 11:12 you can see for a brief moment that the side lengths of the triangle are 1, phi, and sqrt(phi) Then phi creates a square on the side with length sqrt(phi) Meaning it glowed not because it has side lengths phi, but because the area of the square was sqrt(phi)^2 and when sqrt(phi)^2 is simplified, you get phi Or at least that's why I think the square glowed

watched this video twice already...

Fans are referring to the hostile object as the "4-D Hyperdiamond."

unsure if you already know this but use comma and dot (whilst paused) to go back and forth by 1 frame to properly see the easy to miss stuff. only just seen 12:30 after commenting, nevermind hahaha.

Your reaction is so detailed that I can learn something today. Good content there!

i'll be in highschool by july 29 and math is my favorite so im chasing my dream job of being a enginner or technichian this will help by the time i reach that level i love your videos

So actually the square at 11:20 is a Golden Square because the area is PHI. If you notice at 11:11 it shows the length of that side to be sqrt(PHI) so sqrt(PHI) × sqrt(PHI) = PHI

yay! bet this video's gonna be great

Something i noticed is that the 4th dimensional diamond only charged at straight sides .. and when it bounced off a straight side it was making it spherical.

Would love to get my bathroom tiles done in Penrose tiling.

the metattron cube is also called the 120 cell

You should check out the Chill Zones reaction to this. They had their own thoughts on this.

Well, it is indeed metatron. You said, it consists of all platonic solids in it. So, it is logical, that it can be beaten only by these five platonic solids thrown at order.

I don’t think that’s a metatron cube. I think it’s that 24 sided 4d shape you mentioned but shaking and turning

So that's what thst 4d shape is metatron cube cuz platonic solids do show up in here shape literally looks just like it

It's my first time on your channel. I very much enjoyed this video. ❤

I counted, the polygon that Phi turned into the circle diagram of a triangle only had 40 sides, also known as a Tetracontagon.

For the shape the take form of anything it needs a large structure to form it that way.

OH! So that is the reason behind the faint Red, Cyan/White, Green, Blue for the Platonic Solid. They represent the elements. Also, since TSC throws all the Platonic Solids at 24 Cell. He basically summon the Archangel Metatron to capture the chaos of 24 cells Monster. Heh! In the end: Mathematic and Religious are always relate to each other in one way or another. Even though, they sometime never agree to each other. But, they do help each other developes.

The polygon with the most sides here is (I think) a 40-gon.

Another great video

Throwing Infinity at Infinity

29:32 did you notice the giant 120 cell shadow?

I think Metatron was one of the characters in the movie Dogma, played by Alan Rickman.

13:21 That looks like a four dimensional hyper diamond. ( I’ve seen a lot of four dimensional stuff when I was researching Multiverses. *lore about myself in the USS Alpha Multiverse* )

I wonder if the reason that fractals are left behind the 4d object is because fractals have a non-integer dimension. The 4d object is destroying 2d objects and leaving behind a non-integer dimension in its wake.

14:46 more like a shadow rather than the actual representation of what a 4d object would look like

OMG! It's totally an angry metatron cube! That's why it needed to be trapped in all of the platonic solids!

9:54 I have counted, and the shape is a triacontakaienneagon, with 39 sides.

TSC Orange with a cowboy hat is indeed a reference to the ending of Animation vs Physics. If by any chance you would be reacting to that, I'll hint to you that the bright flash at the start of the video is a direct reference (or continuation) from the Animation vs Math where euler (e) sends TSC at the end of that video to somewhere else.

9:58 It is actually 40 sides.

9:58 it’s 42 aka an hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference

This is a really nice video but I did not understand anything that you said that and the animation was cool but I didn't understand at all but that's what I expected I am only 10 years old😅

13:18 That's a 24-cell

the universe is at the background at the dragon fractals.. stars light dots

15:46 I see the Triforce.

I remember that alan becker in a different channel reacted to his own animation and also said it was like a hyper diamond, i just wanna ask you to confirm is the 24 cell the same as the 4th dimensional hyper diamond?

Quick grab your pick forks. Magic man be talking science....

42 sided circle 10:14

As a Christian. Like not just my name. but as a Christian. Watching this stuff especially when explained about the kite and dart thing. My faith just sky rockets into a whole new level. Unbelievably complex and intentional. What an incredible mind (one might even call it a Godly mind) behind the world as we know it.

I thought this was a retelling of Kepler

I counted it is a circle divided by 40

It's a hyperdiamond

At 10:03 it's 40 sides

9:59 it’s 42

where the video animation vs physics reaction?

That is a 24 - cell

You skipped animation vs Physics.

Can you please do something about your mic volume? You're REALLY quiet.
