Scholar Sauce | How are those Math Facts that Sound Fake Actually True?!? @scholarsauce | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This video explains the facts presented in Math Facts that Sound Fake but are Actually True (youtu.be/Fs7uMI_7PEo?si=6lMhGTcgrvdad9_p). The facts are amazing, sure, but the reasons behind them are in many ways even more incredible!
Not all the facts are explaining in a reasonable length video, but you might spot a fun Star Trek retcon explanation related to one of the facts and a couple of great puns instead. Below are the time stamps for each fact if you want to jump to just one of them.
0:35 i^i is a real number
8:55 e^(i pi) + 1 = 0
10:08 Large numbers are incomprehensibly big, but never get any closer to infinity
13:08 Mobius band
14:34 Klein bottle
16:50 Fermat's Last Theorem and a Star Trek retcon
21:55 Solvable polynomials and Galois Theory (puns/wordplay on Abel and Galois)
24:52 It only takes 23 people in a room to have a more than 50% chance two of them have the same birthday
29:59 It is practically impossible that any deck of 52 cards have ever been shuffled the same way twice
