@@electrictrooper7386 i am telling that ... In routine we have so many repetative work,which obviously we must do that work in past for 1st time does this statement/ comment above written by Paulo make sense?
3 is a fascinating number in deed. It’s quite fundamental to the very existence of our universe. 3 quarks (2 up, 1 down) form a proton. 3 quarks (1 up, 2 down) form a neutron. The protons and neutrons then form the atoms that makes everything in our universe.
Probably the most eery pattern I found about "3" relates to how many entities, figures, etc. is needed to administrate an organization, whether that's a business, government, or some other high-impact group. I often hear a group needs three particular kinds of people to make a startup - a hacker/geek, a visionary/hippie, and an adult/moderator. In a constitutional government, there are (supposed to be) three branches of government - the judiciary, the legislature, and the executive. And I could go on. But what is spooky is that, somehow, the number three keeps coming up when it comes to the organization of power. The definition of power has nothing to do with numbers, yet here I am finding power structures from different domains headed by three figures.
For me, five is the complete number. I’ve always known that three was significant to other people, and that for some reason that number was important, but for some reason for me it’s always been five. I need only look at the day before yesterday, yesterday, today, tomorrow, the day after. There’s darkness, twilight, light, twilight, and darkness. You have five fingers on each hand. I could go on, but that gives that idea
It's the same for me actually, with five feeling more significant. I suppose it might be a regional or cultural thing. e.g. while in English there's yesterday, today, and tomorrow, in Dutch there's eergisteren, gisteren, vandaag, morgen en overmorgen. Eergisteren being the day before yesterday and overmorgen being the day after tomorrow.
(Copied my comment): My lucky number is 4, I don't really believe in anything but this number stuck with me for my life. I have some reasons but funny enough, 3 has to do with this. 3 Just looked like this superior number for my just like you are explaining in this video. But there is this saying: "Better a little more then less." and since 3 is so exact and complete I choose 4 over 3. Because that made 3 + 1 so you would always have 1 more and never less or exactly 3. Maybe weird I know, but try and look at my perspective about 4 this way: Whenever someone counts down from 1, 2, 3, And then do something, the moment you do something would be on 4. It's also ads up to the 4 main elements of the earth: Earth, water, fire, wind. Also the way he explained how life works: Born (That would be 1) Live(2) And Die(3) but everything outside that is 4 for me, the unknown infinity outside that for me is that extra 1 wich makes 4 in total. Another reason is that okay with 3 points you can have the first shape wich is a triangle, but, you can never get it to a 3D shape with the 3 points availabe. You will need 4 points to create volume, otherwise you would only have a 2D triangle shape. And volume is what makes anything possible in this world if you think about it. Anyway, I hope you kind of understand why 4 is superior for my now. I also just read someone's comment about why 2 is better xD but yeah people will make a mind off there own so if you got this far reading my comment, thank you, I don't normally write this long but thaw this was pretty intresting to show the internet.
If you Were, Are, and Will be a bit "Weird" (whatever that is supposed to mean) and I truly hope this is the case - It would be something you should regard as a great compliment, in the sense that it is indicative of some form of originality, uniqueness, and individuality. . . People Say I'm "Crazy". That's what "They" SAY. . . .However, I can Tell You for a FACT. After all, let's be realistic - We live - at least for now - in a "weird world". Everyone is weird in some way or another from some perspective or another. I say this is a Good thing. So, If you are "Marching to the Beat of Your own Drum" then, all you need to do is be Right Here, Right Now, and you will ALWAYS arrive right where you need to be, Just In Time. It's Showtime. IF - next time "some" one, or anyone remarks upon Your ''Weirdness", maybe you could smile, with some satisfaction & congratulate them for FINALLY starting to catch on... When I am finally buried...I'd like an epitaph which reads: ~ ~"FUCK 'EM IF THEY CAN'T TAKE A JOKE."~ ~

There can be many things about three. One of the most interesting things I find is the paper Period three implies chaos. However, the content seems to be a little bit too many questions without further investigation. And most of them just confirmation bias and the incarnation of Benford’s Law except that one and two are much more common, so common that the author disregarded them…
Yeah i felt this video was a bit bogus. I like Aperture, but this felt like it was made to fill a quota or something. I guess this is what happens when channels grow into a business.
I opened the comments in search of this. This video was on the confirmation bias basis. I feel like there are a lot of numbers whose videos can be made just like this 1,2,7 etc
This is a case of seeing what we are searching for. Searching for patterns of 3 makes us ignore patterns of any other number. Imagine how many patterns of 0 since there is so many things that could have happened but never actually happened or 1 because everything we acknowledge has happened at least once. It’s like changing car and only now seeing others with similar cars even if they were crossing your path many times. You could do a video about since I find this psychological aspect really interesting. You fell in a hole that you fell in more than once. It’s so easy to forget that our mind seeks information we are looking for and here it seems you were searching for patterns of 3. It happens to everybody, even for the best of us. We find patterns because it’s easier to remember patterns of number greater than 1 than to remember everything as its own exceptional self. So, I find the video interesting but not for the number 3. I find it interesting for the psychological experiment with you being unconscious about this effect that help us all remember things as it was having an effect on you.
I entirely agree that this is a great trap we as humans fall for, finding only what we seek. It is an inherent bias we have towards proving our point, ignoring anything that may suggest otherwise. But for the number 3 I really do think it is the most significant number in human history, bias aside.
The most important number is 2. 2 depicts the beginning of quantity and is the base of binary systems which covers just about everything. Yes or No, Negative or Positive, Ying -Yang, Male or Female. Odd and Even. Without the number 2 nothing works.
Hello Carmen. We can decipher the presence of "two" as part of a sequence involving "three" or the "many" such as the one-two-many (generalized) early counting system. We also see this in the primary, secondary, tertiary structures of proteins. We also see this in the usage of three fingers (two fingers and one thumb) to support a pen or pencil. We... however, do not see this in the presence of life on the 2nd planet in this solar system. While there is a double helix to DNA, we also have the triplet code. And while there are dualities in particle physics, we also have three families of fundamental particles. Needless to say, the "two" is important, but it may be more profitable for us to view it in a larger context involving the "three". In addition, when we take stock of the different number patterns being used by humans as cognitive orientations, we find that out of all the infinity of numbers there are only a very few being used such as twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, sevens, etc... This fact suggests we humans are being subjected to an environmentally imposed restriction as a survival mechanism under incrementally deteriorating conditions.
This might be a little bit out there, but we can even say that the nature of our experience of reality is a pattern of three. Past, present, and future are all experienced under a unique and separate lens of consciousness. With the past and the future we can choose to experience these states in our projections and ruminations, but with the present we have to actually cease 'intentionality' in order to really experience. To exercise presence is to acknowledge the paradigm of our mind's default mode of operation and choose the third option not typically recognized in the standard dichotomy of thought. Maybe that awesome feeling we get when we're fully present in that immaterial third mode of being, is the reason we love third options so much. Thanks for sharing Aperture, big inspiration for my own content.
Once again great video blew my mind. I'd like to add that number 4 also plays an Important role in our lives, four fundamental forces, four seasons, four sides of the world, four riders of the apocalypse, etc.
While I can appreciate the "4", I am inclined to view it as a three to one ratio. For example, we say north-south-east (and) west. The "and" is a point of demarcation between the first three and the next one. We see this same thing when counting. A comma is place between each successive grouping of three such as ones-tens-hundreds (comma) thousands. Another example is to notice that both DNA and RNA have the same three amino acids (adenosine-cytosine-guanine) , with each of them (respectively) having a separate one: Thymine- Uracil. In some television shows we see three females and one male such as the old Charlie's Angels series or the old Superman series such as Perry White-Jimmy Olsen-Clark Kent + Lois lane. In all cases we can count "four", but a three-to-one ratio may be the more significant identity.
We need 3 points to make a triangle because triangle is a 2d shape. And to make any n dimensional figure in a n dimension space we always need at least (n+1) vertices. Eg. • Line - 1d figure - requires (1+1) vertices. • Pyramid - 3d figure - requires (3+1) vertices So nothing special in the triangle case either.
Honestly, all of your videos are just absolutely beautiful and thought provoking. Thank you for everything you do, in my eyes, you’re just an awesome person that asks all the most perfect questions. Much love, IVI. Keep making these videos, if it’s what you love to do. Simply because you make the most sense out of things that don’t make sense. I appreciate you deeply.
watching you break down and explain every single bit of every fiber of a concept just amaze me at different level. im watching you since the rise of shower thoughts, and i won't died until i see aperture talk about atheism or religion itself.
This idea comes from: *** Laozi (author of Tao Te China): Dao produces one. One produces two. Two produces three. Three produces the ten thousand things. (In classical Chinese, the "ten thousand things" means "everything." Commentators have long disagreed over what the "one, two, and three" refers to, usually plugging in their favorite cosmological, cosmogonic, or metaphysical model.) Laozi further writes: Something amorphous & consummate existed before Heaven & Earth. Solitude! Vast! Standing alone, unaltering. Going everywhere, yet unthreatened. It can be considered the Mother of the World. I don't know its name, so I designate it "Dao." Compelled to consider it, name it "Great."
I think the number 3 is so special because we exist in 3 dimensions. We see 3 aspects of everything. Light that allows us to see. Mass that gives weight to objects and gravity that gives form to what we see.
We live in 4 dimensions actually, and do not forget the difference between weight and mass, and dont forget dark matter which is still the biggest and yet unknown force in the universe, and it is possible we actually live with 6 dimensions, the list goes on...
@@djriqky9581 Common sense would say that yes we see 3 dimensions, but well, that is actually not true. Think about it, time, the 4th dimension, is just as part of our perception than the ones before it. Without time, there would be no actual interaction, no movement, no primordial force, may that be nuclear, electromagnetic or gravitational. Time is a constant in the reality we live, there is reason we call it space/time, they are part of the same. And dont get me started on all the current theories i announced about there being actually 6 dimensions with the calabi yau manifold, superstring theory, you name it. See, what we perceive, and what we deduce out of it is an illusion, a useful at that though, as how else would we be at the current scientific status we stand at now.
Feel like you can say this about any smaller number eg 4 cardinal directions water earth wind fire many complex concepts can be explained via a 2x2 child, teen, adult, senior
3:02 "I could go on and on and on" If that isn't a reference to Taylor Swift's most recently released song 'This Love' 😭😭😭 It could have just been an coincedence but I cannot help 😭
Living in a world created with 3 dimensions, the special number makes everything connect to each other, none missing. All points on a triangle are connected to each other. This is one fact that makes 3 seem to be the locus of completeness.
why does a triangular prism have 4 sided? and we move thru a 4th dimension of time and it’s possible other higher dimensions exist. a number is just a number, there’s no special significance at all. continuing to hold beliefs with out a good reason makes your brain easily tricked.
@@guitarspadeschess6908 First one's interesting, I forgot about that one. Yea, a 3 dimensional tetrahedron has 4 points, all equidistant. There really is no significance in the number, but the value is important.
@@a_bush yea for sure. i enjoy most aperture content, but i just found this incredibly underwhelming. seemed like he literally just googled “things that come in 3” and rattled them off claiming hidden meaning with absolutely supporting evidence. he mentions 3pt shot in basketball like dude humans literally created that value arbitrarily, and fails to mention there are 2pt AND 1pt shots and even a 4pt play is possible with a 3+1 foul shot. lol he lost like 30 iq for me here.

Fun fact, the human brain naturally quantifies things not linearly as we do today, but in log base 3. Or at least that's what I heard in a podcast from radio Lab
I love this channel! It's contents are always interesting, organized, and beautiful. Like your brain would think progressively about the title, topic, and concept before, during, and after the video.
I think 2 is the perfect number... at least it's more common. 2 Eyes, 2 lanes of traffic, opposites (up, down/hot, cold/in/out) oh yea, and after that last one, there's 2 parents, a couple. There's even the word pair for 2, which is much more common than trio. Then again, 1 is waaaaayyyy more common than 2. Any random incident happens once.
I can’t express how impossible and almost ironically this video came into my life! To put it simply… 3 may have absolute control of my life and was driving me insane. Insane through the realizations how it’s literally everywhere. I don’t want to waste time listening exactly where, but I found it a lot in art, music, and scarily enough in my very own birth date. It’s silly to say it aloud especially online other than I was born on a third day, on a specific month, and an even more specific year. Basically I was born on thirds. Despite all that I could have simply pinned down all my maddening adventures regarding 3, through three videos that took my mind for a ride: De La Soul - The Magic Number: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-np0YIaHv6LQ.html Cat Power - 3 6 9: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wqlZXpbJrMo.html This very video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uvFmMGwvDXA.html (facepalm) To conclude, thanks for helping on tangling the mess that is my weird mind to just view 3 as a factor of life, the universe, and… *insert something creative!*
@TheGlassesPro You should couple these examples with the time of day you were born, the decade within the century, how many people are in the family and your position in the family. Also, is the "three" a recurring relevance to other friends, family members, co-workers, etc. In other words, one can make additional correlations.

However, when we look at this small list which you outlined, no one seems to notice that it is especially limited... compared to the infinity of numbers at our disposal. This suggests that humans (and all biological creatures in their own way) are being subjected to a limitation that I believe is due to the presence of an incrementally deteriorating environment. We are using only a few numbers because we are being restricted to do so as a (short term) survival mechanism which we can psychologically describe as rationalization.
Hey Aperture! Long time fan here! I have a request: Can you please please please make a podcast out of your videos? Like just extract the audio and upload. Please! Thanks!
Disagree. 2 is 99% of the universe. Ex 1: Day/night Ex 2: Good/bad (choices, faith, thoughts) Ex 3: Life/death Ex 4: Love/hate Ex 5: Illiterate/literate Ex 6: Wisdom/arrogance Ex 7: Cause/effect Ex 8: All comes in two sides except black holes Ex 9: Theory of the universe comes from anti matter vs matter that caused the Big Bang What I find interesting is that everything you mention that comes in three can be analyzed separately into two representations. Three is used by humans frequently because of influence. It is unique for humans but not for all other species and all things that make up creation or existence. 2 Is the perfect balance for all things that run the universe accordingly.
everything in between the duality of the universe is the superposition of it where the duality is both at the same time. It only takes an observer for it to collapse and see either one of the two states.
@@spyfox260 Or, understand this. The most important number is 1. It is the factor of everything, of 2, of 3, of all that exists. A singularity is the fundamental existence
