Это видео о том, почему слова переворачиваются в зеркале влево и вправо (горизонтально), но не вверх и вниз (вертикально). Ответ связан с зеркальным отражением, как будто зеркала это окна в другой мир (как альтернативные вселенные, вывернутые наизнанку!), и непрозрачностью того, на чем мы пишем.

The Physics of Car Crashes


How is the chemical energy of gasoline transformed into kinetic energy of a moving car? And where does that kinetic energy go when the car crashes into something and stops moving?

My four-part series on Numberphile videos about Fibonacci Numbers (from 2014) starts here.

Here is me going on about the square root of five (Numberphile 2018).

The zero I found was at -9.14202391817 2.80064954276i and you can see the exact form here: www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(10*pi)/(pi + i*(log(sqrt(5) — 1) — log(1 + sqrt(5))))

Try it for yourself and put the Binet Formula (((1 sqrt(5))/2)^n — ((1-sqrt(5))/2)^n)/sqrt(5) in the Wolfram roots calculator: www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=b858339e64fa997454dd12f77cb1ece1

CORRECTIONS
This was a long video and in hindsight there are a few things I wish I had phrased better. Here they all are:
— I misspoke around 01:13 when I said «negative one, zero» as it is clearly «negative one, one, zero».
— At 07:53 I mean the negative values -5 to 0. I said it a weird way.
— My language at about the 1D input to 2D plot from 09:17 is a bit sloppy. The real values going into the Binet function are not the horizontal axis shown; the plot onscreen is solely the output.
— I say «axis» when I mean «plane» or even «complex plane». The big flat thing.
Let me know if you spot anything else!

I Almost Learned To Fly A Jetpack


Gravity Industries make jetpacks. Theyre not practical. Theyre not meant for mass use. But they are a lot of fun. They asked if I wanted to try flying one. Thanks to gravity.co/ — this is not sponsored but, obviously, they did give me a flight in a jetpack.

Перестройка нью-йоркской подземки | Гигантские стройки | Discovery


Нью-Йорк вложил 15 млрд. долларов в перестройку системы общественного транспорта. Это один из самых важных общественных проектов в истории мегаполиса. Прокладка 2-х новых линий метро и расширение самого большого вокзала на Земле — путем взрыва его основания.
Подробности грандиозных и дерзких проектов смотрите в шоу «Гигантские стройки» на канале Discovery!
