2:55 "So you can continue shrinking a file down until what you're left with is totally random" I am very confused by this sentence, you don't shrink it until it's random, you shrink it until it there are no patterns left

i just tried this without watching the whole video and tried to do negative and found a loop and i thought i was a genius and i was commenting "how to reach derek muller" but then i watched it again and saw that there is really a loop in negative i was shocked cause i tried -25 and hit a loop first try lmao

Not interested in Bitcoin Thank You very much..

3x+1= 3x+1

i somone also thinking after watching this video about mosquitoes that you are get biten, but if you look at you there is nothing to wory about?

Teacher: cmon guys, this is algebra 1, the final is not that hard. The Final: 3x + 1

Dumb question but why 3X+1? Is that somehow unique? Are there other equations (e.g. 5x+1) that produce similar results where every number eventually falls to the same infinite loop? Although did some research (i.e 20 mins on a calculator) and already found two infinite loops for 5x+1 (using numbers 5 and 8) but maybe the solution overall would be to look at the behaviour of NX+1 in general? ***Strokes beard***

Is it 3?

NOT WATCHING. I SWEAR TO GOD THIS GUY JUST MAKES THESE VIDEO TO PISS ME OFF.

This is why we need quantum computers

10?

at 8:23 the 2nd row all blue numbers coming from all the odd numbers are ALL 6 numbers apart from each other, what does that mean?!!!!???? I suck at math, but they didnt mention it???? crap! lol

answer is -1

De answer for de thumbnail is 10 3x is 9 and +1 is 10

Oh well I guess there is too much resolution of maths at the larger scale and the laminar can't do it's rounding cheat to even exist. Watch as a solitary tear runs down my pale cheek in sympathy for the Laminarians!

i’m growing up.

for me it's just numbers

Send this to Gregori Perlman. He can figure it out. If we are not disturbing him because he is collecting mushrooms

and why would you want to multiply by 3 or divide by 2, this is not a math problem. thats not the definition of a math problem.

Its 19

that would mean there is a stand alone loop in the number line that says "there is no proof that this is on the number line"

why am i watching this at 14 years old??

I think it is irresponsible to assume that there is a possibility that light/signals can be "instantaneous". Think about it, instantaneous means here now, gone now as well. Light is a source of energy. And energy cannot be destroyed.

We ought to take a page out of Ace Combat's book and built gigantic railgun networks to combat the threat.

Isent it 3x+1 = 10 ?

30 minutes, a healthy mix of pain and pleasure.

Ze mind is blown again!

Regarding the diagonalization proof isn't there an infinite amount of real numbers? So the number you created with the diagonal has to occur anyways. Also it's still a number meaning that it still occurs between 0 and 1 so why could it not be identified as a natural number?

12:34 pretty funny

It is still very interesting even if you do not understand it. (I understand it) 😃

God did it, you are fired.

Why does no one talk about the jobs? I mean, this technology is the end of all drivers, especially bus, truck, and other mass land transportations... Sure, some driving jobs will survive, but more than ~80% of driver jobs will be eliminated.

I dont konw if it was mentioned earlier in this comment section. But could it be possible to use quantum entanglement to sync the clocks ? Or is then there a problem to know if the sync is instant ?

And whats the use of all that? 3x+1

math class : 2×2 the test : 3n+1

Why is 27 such a chaotic number. Not to forget the infamous Club 27

What about that one In 2019? If you talk about it vuz I'm not even a third of the way into this video

Me: It’s 6

Even x Even = Even and Odd x Odd = Odd. By adding the 1 (if odd), you're forcing the equation to result in an even number making it so 66.66∞% of all numbers will end up even and 33.33∞% odd. This will always result in the 4-2-1 loop if the number is in that 99.99x∞ percentile. Find that 0.11∞% number to prove it wrong. I don't understand what the conjecture is trying to solve. (honestly)

Ay Bill, just give $5 billion, and feed all the hungry in the world,that’s all it takes.. how about it Bill ?

At 5:02 he suggests to do this, but that wouldn’t work as there’s an INFINITE amount of people which means an infinite amount of combinations/names which means the No Room name would eventually be taken. This video is SOOO flawed in SOOOO many ways lol Edit: and when I say he suggests to do “this” I mean he suggests to do what the video is saying/showing

I remember watching a Veritasium video a couple weeks ago where I learned that there are mathematical problems which are known to be true but they can't be proven to be true. Also there is the indirect proving method: let's say this problem is false. If it is so hard to prove it true, try to prove that it is false. If you can't prove that it is false, you've proven it to be true. Good luck. :)

I'd like to see the test done with more controls. Diet, blood type, and amount of sweat and other scents, such as cologne on the person. Also, what about clothing ? I have read flies are attracted to blue for instance.

Same walking speed might caused the bridge to wiggle. Crowded space caused ppl to follow the same walking speed infront of them. Hence, everyone will walk the same pace eventually.

Jeez it's bloody dangerous to create liquid gas like that. You could have an accidental spill and lose your feet to severe frostbite

wait this channel became a maths channel

9:14 Isn't this the proof? This is the _counterexample_ that the bald guy is talking about. Instead of trying to run the function and look at its behavior as it goes, you are doing it rising *backwards* from the root that you want to prove that every number will end up reaching. It is *OBVIOUS* that every single number in existence can be tied to the directed graph, because you can go in reverse up from every single node that appears in it, and all numbers *MUST* appear in it because there is no way in this world that an even number cannot be divided by two and that an odd number cannot be multiplied by three and added one (we are of course excluding the root's initial straight line). And the next number up *MUST* either end up being even or odd, and the thing will repeat. These mathematicians need to learn that not all solutions have to be done with equations and variables, human logic is also capable of bringing proof to stuff. For me, this graph is the proof. No one can prove that the graph will not include a certain integer, because IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to skip any integer in it. There's no way that you can come up with any equation proving that some integer will not appear in the directed graph.

The problem is the problem

The Math problem is flawed in my opinion. For positive numbers you do "(7x3)+1" which equals 22, but for -7 you need to do "(-7x3)-1". If you are to use negative numbers you have to mirror (invert?) the sign of the math. You would then get mirror "fantastic fibrous trees". Also note that of all the numbers, only base 2/twos complement binary always divides down towards 1 (i.e 1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1). Just be aware the slight integer storage issue where you have a integer range of -128 to +127. But since the rule prevents you reaching 0, I guess you can say the range is -128 to +128 but "skipping" the 0 in the middle. Or maybe look at it as shifting it by +0.5 so the range is really -127.5 to +127.5, I mean, who is to say a integer of 1 actually is a 1, it could be a 0.5 or 1.5 rounded to 1. Unless we live in a simulation few if any things in nature are exact integers. Example: If you have an apple and a friend gives you an apple, how many apples do you have? Most would say 2 (even me) but are both apples of equal size/mass? If not then what would qualify as being "1 apple", apple A or apple B? Or maybe neither, is there a template apple out there somewhere? The concept of 1 and 2 etc. is a very human construct (or more hopefully a universally sentient construct). I wonder what a 3D plotted cube would look like if the positive odd and positive even and negative mirror odd and negative mirror even was used as x,y,z coordinates. I'm not sure how one would anchor two of them into a single coordinate though. Maybe the fourth value could be used to set the brightness of the dots somehow. Not sure how to visually represent 4D in a 3D way for representation on a 2D display. OR maybe link time with the 4th value? Have attempts been made to take number sequences and translate those into a spiral (similar to how you can with pi)? I'm curious. (this comment will self-destruct possibly in the near future)

I wonder if the histogram looks like benford's law because the rule coins something that is "nature" like, or if it's simply because we multiply by 3 which may statistically lead to more 1's than 9's.

If you could prove every even number would diverge… isn’t that your answer? Cause all odd numbers become even after one step and if all even numbers diverge then that’s your answer.

Sorry. I’m not great at this whole logic thing. Lemme know if something is off about this.

"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today"

I really don't understand where the problem should be? That it always ends up in a 4-2-1-4-2-1.... loop? Why should this be a "problem"? The initial situation are 2 artificial rules. Applied to any number it will eventually end up in this loop. Again: Why should this be a "problem"? If you know this, then you got the solution: Those 2 rules applied to any starting number will eventually end up in a 4-2-1-4-2-1-.... loop. Can someone explain what iam missing since it wasn't displayed/explained in the video? Thanks in advance! EDIT: I can come up with some other random rules and say: There is no pattern OR there is this pattern. Because the numbers increase or decrease or end up on another loop (i bet there surely is another loop if you get the "correct" artifical and initial rules).

OK, finished the video, and I'm really disappointed: I could have told you the same thing. I was expecting more unusual findings, but you're just saying that you need to look at maps to learn geography and listen to music to learn music....uh, obviously?

I came to know about the Collatz theorem around 10 years ago ... this is an awesome video ... thanks a lot for this

Let's be honest. This video was recommended to you

Yeaah.. with no face like open loop. Kahkahkah. :D

5:40am, this is what I resort too

Someone just came up with arbitrary rules for some math puzzle and we're acting as if we stumbled upon some ancient wisdom.

So how would I use this? Like I get it, its simple mathematics but what's the point of this equation, if you can't use it. It can't imagine that it would get to a point where were trying to get to the number infinity. Because if that's the case then... 10 divided by 0 = 10. For my account, if Division is the opposite of Multiplication | 10*0=0. --- It baffles me that this 3x+1 is going to be used to solve a mathematic problem if their is no solution. Could it be that 3x+1 ending in 1-4 loop be the answer.
