@juancuelloespinosaمنذ 2 سنوات I always find it interesting that there are more subdivisions down than we have doublings up. the planck length is at 226, where the observable universe ends at 184 7445

@Solo_Jazz_منذ 2 سنوات I find it fascinating how this channel can turn an ordinary piece of paper into an existential crisis for so many people 7942

@ShamelessFNGRLمنذ 2 سنوات I thought this was going to be a cute video on paper and how the metric system is superior but here I am dealing with my umpteenth existential crisis instead. A hell of a way to wake up! I have never felt this empty before. 4778

@sunnyday6133منذ 2 سنوات This just made me reaize that we live at the most exciting scale. Go smaller and it gets incedibly empty, go bigger, the same happens. I’m thankful for our insignificantly small scale in the universe. 3793

@micokertesz1556منذ 2 سنوات if I'm right, if we would fold a paper to that little, it would be taller than the observable universe 50

@patfreمنذ 2 سنوات Fun fact: if you divide the longer part of the paper by the shorter part it will give you the square root of 2 358

@mfbfreakالعام الماضي The speed of light being described as heartbreakingly slow really speaks to me. There is so much cool stuff in the universe, but even at the fastest conceivable speed, almost all of it will forever be out of range. 16

@confusedquark826منذ 2 سنوات I like this video bc while it gives me a bit of existential dread, it also helps center me when I'm working on difficult or stressful projects. Helps you find where you are. 30
@

@loststylus7641منذ 2 سنوات This video is very powerful for understanding everything we are as far as scaling goes, but also just goes to show how our own scale, where we live and id="hidden9" class="buttons"> observe, is really the most important to us because it fits us. The rest of this stuff we know exists, but will never truly observe or understand, at least for a very long time. The things on our scale are explained with our communication, using the senses that are tuned for this level of understanding. Look what we’ve done with the scale we’ve been given, the scale we are bound to. We have limits, but do we really know where they are? The limits haven’t stopped our own expansion of understanding, and unlike a lot of other levels, our scale is full of life, compared to the vast nothingness on both ends. If nothing matters on both ends where nothing happens, I wanna stay where things do happen and I can bring myself to comprehend, but I think that’s more easily said, and I’m probably pretty ignorant compared to what things could be but I just wanna say to those who are having existential crises that it’s not a concern and will never be a concern, in our lifetime. And if it is we can cross that bridge when we get to it. ....وسعت 25

Seriously though. I don't know if this video is meant to be poetic or an existentialist piece, but I love it, for sure. 52

@

@jensschroder8214منذ 2 سنوات I have never sent such small or such large paper letters.
But an A4 letter folded twice fits nicely in a C6 envelope.
Because A4 paper is folded twice, it is A6 size. 10

@MiguelSilvaXمنذ 2 سنوات The real problem is when you fold a sheet of paper, you halve it's length but you double it's thickness, so folding it 2^100 times would give it id="hidden12" class="buttons"> a spike with almost zero "lengh" and unimaginable "thickness" of ~2^98 meters - you would need a very thick folder :) ....وسعت 12

@

@Tanekoshimaقبل 5 أشهر This is the type of visualization that makes me realize I'm much more interested in the vastness of space than the infinitely compact void of Atoms id="hidden15" class="buttons"> and quarks and such. I get that it's fascinating but imagining that, ultimately, matter is just what makes up our existence, and outer space IS our existence, waiting to be explored, fills me with a sense of impossible wanderlust that, honestly, is scary, but very peaceful at the same time.
I know I'll never be able to go explore space like Star Trek or Mass Effect, but that's why it brings me peace to know that I might as well enjoy my time here, pondering and wondering and contemplating, thinking that somewhere out there might be a similar being possibly pondering the same thing I am. ....وسعت 3

@orangecoat3848منذ 2 سنوات The golden ratio is a proportion in which the previous square is not half, its just enough for the previous one so it has space for one previous square id="hidden28" class="buttons"> more, which converges, when the squares get smaller. With metric paper, it can be halved and it scales because the growth is exponential.
If paper had the scale of 1.618 it would not work, because it works in squares, not in rectangles. This video is great though ....وسعت 1
