Appearance of Moon Debunks Flat Earth with a 30-60-90 Triangle Matthew Weathers 2020-11-05 | The moon is at different elevations in distant cities while remaining the same size. If the Earth is a globe, that's because the ground is tilted different directions. If the Earth is flat, it's because the Moon is close while the size is distorted somehow.In this video, I explain both ideas and show that if the Moon is an actual, physical object, then it's more rational to believe that the Earth is not flat.Chapters:0:00 Intro0:39 Two Explanations0:54 Explanation 1: Earth is Flat1:29 Explanation 2: Surface is tilted1:45 More Questions - Gravity2:08 More Questions - Atmospheric Lensing3:21 Conclusion - How to DecideI've tried to present Flat Earth ideas accurately.

Presidential Debate Remix/Parody in Math Class Matthew Weathers 2020-10-30 | Trump and Biden avoid answering questions from math professor during Zoom class. I used clips from the first 2020 presidential debate to make a fun video for my Quantitative Reasoning mathematics class. I tried to ask a simple statistics question, but neither President Trump nor former Vice President Biden answered my question. Vice President Trump and Senator Harris also made an appearance.------More Info------Clips taken from the first presidential debate on September 29, 2020 at Case Western Reserve University, moderated by Chris Wallace, and from the two "Town Hall" events done separately with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and from the October 7, 2020 Vice Presidential Debate between Michael Pence and Kamala Harris at the University of Utah.I made this for my mathematics class at Biola University in La Mirada, California. I teach the class in an empty classroom ("Lim 247"), with all of the students attending via Zoom. The County of Los Angeles is still not allowing in-person instruction at universities. The name of the class is a one-unit class called MATH 122 - Quantitative Reasoning for the Behavioral Sciences, and a main topic in the class is statistics.Yes, I got permission from all of the students who appear.I made similar videos 8 years ago (Obama/Romney) and 5 years ago (Clinton/Trump, before they were nominated).
Unfair edits: A remix of the corporate online meetings Matthew Weathers 2020-06-18 | Required to Bring Our Own Toilet Paper to School? Unfair edits.

Is it true that the university will no longer provide toilet paper in the restrooms?
How to Make a Green Shirt Look Transparent in a Zoom Meeting Matthew Weathers 2020-06-12 | Use Virtual Backgrounds with a screenshot of the background to make it looks like you're wearing a transparent shirt. This quick tutorial shows you how to do this illusion yourself using your own laptop and Zoom. No editing software needed.Here are the basic steps: o Start a Zoom meeting with no one else in it o Change the Video Settings to not be mirrored o Go to Full Screen mode o Take a screenshot without yourself in it o Save the screenshot o In Zoom, set that image as your Virtual Background o Click "I have a green screen" o Wear a green shirtIf you don't have a green shirt, you can use other solid-color shirts - Zoom lets you pick the color for the green screen.Try not to move the camera or anything in the background, so that everything stays aligned. So this would not work if you're using Zoom on a hand-help camera that's moving. (That would require professional-level special effects - see Zach King's channel at youtube.com/channel/UCq8DICunczvLuJJq414110A)If any of you try this out, let me know how it worked for you in the comments.

Magic and the Mathematics of Shuffling Cards Astonishes Math Professor Matthew Weathers 2020-01-06 | Something magic happens every time you shuffle a deck of cards—you've come up with an ordering of cards that is unique in all of human history—unless there's a magic trick at work.In this video, I show an astounding magic trick performed by my friend Shiloh Ahlstrand, who is a professional magician, that has to do with shuffling cards. Then, I show you how to calculate the probability that every time you shuffle cards, the ordering is unique in all of human history.-----------------------------Thanks to Shiloh Ahlstrand for performing the magic trick and suggesting to me this video.See my personal vlog channel called "Matthew's Adventures" at youtube.com/channel/UC_7XYBvogM0V8HusrE2aKlw (Behind-the-scenes, travel, pictures, random ideas, etc.)
Uber, Lyft, and taxis at LAX airport - How to use LAX-it at Los Angeles International airport Matthew Weathers 2019-11-02 | How to use Uber, how to use Lyft, and where to find a taxi at LAX airport in Los Angeles. As of October 29, 2019, taxis and rideshare services are no longer allowed to pick you in front of the terminal by baggage claim. Instead, the airport has created a Pickup Lot called LAX-it.This video is a quick introduction about this service with a few points about how to get to this LAX-it lot. You can walk from Terminal 1 (and even Terminal 2, 7, and 8 aren't that far), or you can take one of the brand-new bright green LAX-it shuttle buses that arrive every five minutes.In addition, the airport has changed the inside lower lane next to baggage claim to be a buses-only lane, for these shuttles.This video is intentionally very short and formatted for mobile phones for people who need quick information about where to find their taxi, Uber, or Lyft.

Whos missing in this 50-year-old Apollo 11 photo? Matthew Weathers 2019-07-21 | What make this picture so profound? It shows the Eagle lunar lander returning from the first visit to the surface of the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission. But also, it includes ALL of humanity in the frame of the picture except for Michael Collins, the photographer. He took this picture 50 years ago, 21:34 UTC, July 21, 1969. (NASA Photo ID: AS11-44-6642).He's the only person not included in the frame of this picture!Imagine what it would have been like if they had social media back then. He probably would have taken a selfie, so he wouldn't be the only one left out of the picture. And he would have posted it on Twitter and Instagram.Translation of Instagram post in video:"Finna dock with #Eagle after their extra 1st landing (which was tots on fleek, natch" means "I am fixing to (preparing to) dock with the Eagle Lunar Lander after their extraordinary first landing on the Moon. (Which was totally flawlessly executed, naturally.)"___________NASA Photo ID: AS11-44-6642From: moon.nasa.gov/resources/56/eagles-return
The unsolved math problem which could be worth a billion dollars. Matthew Weathers 2019-07-11 | No one on Earth knows how to reverse one of the most popular computer algorithms. Yet it's really easy to compute one-way. You could make billions of dollars if you solved this mathematics problem, which is computed quintillions of times per second in the race for mining Bitcoin. SHA256 has some amazing properties, is useful for digital signatures, cryptography, authentication, and is a central part of the Bitcoin protocol.(**** UPDATE 2021: After two years, I've finally posted a follow-up video, an introduction to Bitcoin. You can find it here: youtu.be/LzhJjSRad5A )Bitcoin and other "crypto-currencies" rely on one-way hash functions like the SHA-256 algorithm to secure the blockchain where all the transactions are kept.In this video, I explain some of the big-picture ideas behind this one function. Other cryptocurrencies use similar ideas.Comments, suggestions, or errors? Let me know in the comments, and I'll fix them in an upcoming follow-up video.Take a look at some of my other videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL625C69DF58409759---- Links ------Wikipedia about SHA-256:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2Current Bitcoin difficulty:coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/bitcoin-difficulty-chartBig number calculator:defuse.ca/big-number-calculator.htm---- Credits ----BitCoin & Money Photo:Copy Link to Credit: (CC-BY 4.0) Cryprocurrency360.comflickr.com/photos/bitcoin-crypto/41063960960Bitcoin mining farm: (CC-BY 2.0) Marko Ahtisaari - flickr.com/photos/moiaFourier Transform Graph:(CC-BY 4.0) Jakehttp://pgfplots.net/tikz/examples/author/jakeWikipedia Hash Function Algorithm illustrations:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2(CC-BY-SA)

Planes Fly Fast - Calculating Jet speeds - Debunking Slow Plane / Flat Earth [MWT #006] Matthew Weathers 2018-07-14 | Passenger Jets fly really fast, but some Flat Earth people say they don't, that we're being lied to. In this video, I show you how to calculate the speed of an airplane from a video.Speed is just distance divided by time, and there are two techniques for finding that speed, depending on whether the camera is on the plane or on the ground. Leave comments below if you have any questions or suggested improvements. However, please be civil - I know that discussions like this can end up in a shouting match, and I may remove comment with excessive name-calling and bad language.This video reference many others.

Promo for Wrapped - After Class Matthew Weathers 2018-04-27 | This is a promo for "Wrapped," a feature-length film being made by Biola students, who are planning to shoot it this summer (2018).Rachel and Calen asked me to be in a short little promotional video about their film. Here it is.-------------------Matthew Weathers as myselfRachel Lin as herselfCalen Coates as himselfDirector of Photography: Kyle VenbergSound Engineer: Yana LiEditor: Alec DeRieux-------------------If you are interested in learning more about the project, here are some links:facebook.com/wrappedthefilmtwitter.com/WrappedTheFilminstagram.com/wrappedthefilmwrappedthefilm.comHere's a description from their web page:"Wrapped is a feature-length film to be shot this summer about overcoming insecurity. The film follows a wallflower of a girl, Abby, as she learns to stand up for herself by stealing back a birthday present from the drug dealer who robbed her. By the end of the story, Abby gains a positive self-esteem, and the drug dealer, Donny, leaves behind his poor life choices by learning to stop placing his self-worth in his friends’ opinions of him.This project is written and (to be) directed by Calen Coates, a senior at Biola University. He has studied filmmaking for almost 10 years, but this will be his first feature film. Rachel Lin, a sophomore at Biola, is producing the project. The rest of the crew is to be made up of Biola Students, and the film will be shot for approximately $10,000. Though this may sound like a lot of money to some, it's actually a miniscule amount in comparison to most Hollywood films. Wrapped is built upon a DIY methodology, allowing it to be shot for far less than most films by using resources the student-team has within easy reach.Everyone struggles with insecurities, and this film seeks to prove that anyone can conquer their demons. For our protagonist, Abby, this means learning to love herself. For the film crew, this means doing something many have tried and failed. We believe the same can be true for you too."

Burn your lottery tickets: My statement about the $1.5 billion Powerball Matthew Weathers 2016-01-17 | Okay... this is staged - I'm burning a worthless piece of paper. (Numbers are similar but not in the same order as drawn.)Yes, it's true that I don't like the idea of the lottery (haven't bought a ticket in more than a decade before this), and I stand by my statement in the video and think people shouldn't play...But I teach math and since the lottery was in the news, I bought a $4 ticket and I was thinking about doing a video about the mathematical expected value of a ticket (which would have been higher than the price of the ticket... but only if no one else bought a ticket and you didn't have to potentially share the $1.5 billion jackpot).However, when it was announced that a winning ticket was purchased in Southern California (not far from where I purchased this, I think), and I had some similar numbers on my ticket (five out of 12 numbers), I decided I would make a statement about the lottery.(Although a few numbers match, none of the main numbers appear in the same order drawn, and as for the Powerball number, if you have two draws, there's a 2/26 (7.6923%) chance that one will match, not that unlikely.The Jan 13, 2016 drawing was 08, 27, 34, 04, 19 - out of a possible 69. Excluding the Powerball, the chances of guessing those five numbers in order is 69*68*67*66*65. However... mine were in a different order, and there are 5*4*3*2*1 (120) possible orderings for any given set of five numbers.)Still... my message is the same: don't play the lottery. Instead, save your money, use it to pay down debts, then when you're debt-free start saving money (probably in low cost index mutual funds.)
