I blanked out
@bluegreenplanet89 Yes!!! I think its David Mitchell. I love him!!
@BlamsNZ
Aah yes, i see. Thanks for just explaining that and not giving me an all caps rage how stupid i am
You don’t see normal conversation a lot on youtube. But i guess that depends on the subject of the video 
@timen1986 You missed the point. ‘infinite’ has no size. ‘Infinite’ cannot be measured, therefore you cannot say that one infinite is the same as the other infinite as neither has size. What you are trying to do is assign an object an attribute it does not have. How much does a kilometer weigh? How long is a Kilogram?
@BlamsNZ
uuhm, yes, i do understand what you are saying. But infinite is the same in both lines? so they would be the same size (?)
@timen1986 One small problem with your logic. You are assigning a limit to infinity. You cannot say that the two lists have the same ‘number’ of elements as infinity is not a number. What you are saying is that skinny Bob weighs the same as fat Bob because they are both called Bob.
This was awesome.
imagine 2 infinite lines of numbers.
Imagine one line with all the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, ect
The other would contain the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24..ect
Now both lines are infinite, so both lines have the same infinite amount of numbers. right?
How can line 1 and line 2 have the same amount of numbers when in line 2 we know you only have half? Infinity sucks !
A hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is coming out to ios. I could really like these kind of storytelling artifacts in it. It would fit perfectly
When it comes to „the grandfather paradox“… who is this jackoff to say that there AREN’T multiple dimensions?
He also has an annoying voice too! Someone should kill him!
after watching this , my head became too heavy for me to pick up
Why does this make me want to go to HornyHabits com!? Lol
Achilles’ thing either wasn’t properly explained or he didn’t add any variables. Either way it doesn’t seem very useful… like any math to a high school student.
oh gosh I knew it was David Mitchell
lovely series too, guys. I could watch these forever.
MOREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
This was really fun, MOAR MOAR MOAR.
That’s not the twin paradox!
@eagleduzt yes
Awesome!
@Haroids Hehe I know the monty hall problem
is that the one about the animals behind the doors during a game show?
The thing with the tortoise is that you always look at smalller time spans. that’s the whole trick to this.
This is awesome.

你會說文嗎？
To explain the first theory, Achilles wouldn’t be able to catch up with the tortoise as when he reaches the spot here the tortoise had started, the tortoise would have already moved. Then when Achilles reaches the second spot where the tortoise had moved to, he would again have moved. So basically everytime Achilles moves to the new spot the tortoise had reached he would always have moved even if it’s the tiniest fraction of length. Remember it’s just a theory
