"Adding 1 lion to 96, well that's basically nothing" 97th Lion: *:'(*

1, 2 skip a few 99, 100

This video is 8 years old and has still taught me so much about ourselves in just 9 minutes, this is why we love you Vsauce.

I come back to old videos of michael's because they're oddly comforting. the information he presents usually isn't comforting to think about, but something about his cadence, confidence, and dogmatic nature is so grounding. it's like he's telling you that yes, the world is big and terrifying, and we're so small and inconsequential compared, but he's right there with you. I don't know. it's nice.

"Yo Michael what time is it?" Michael: "but what *is* time"

1:07 so you’re telling me I haven’t been around for 1 billion seconds yet?

i tapped on this video to see how far the title actually went but then i stayed for the whole thing😂

"Are there 96 lions or 97 lions over there?" "Bro, we got to get the hell outta here!"

"what's the number between 1 and 9?" me: 4.5 him: 5! me: oh

Vsauce > Math Class

why is he in romania?

Logarithmic thinking was my hypothesis as to why it seems we age more quickly when I was probably in my late teens or early 20s. Turns out I was wrong - it's actually something having to do with having novel experiences. Less novel experiences feels like time moves more quickly.

Fact: 2+2=4 Vsauce: or is it?

Man counted to 1 000 000 MrBeast : *hold my money*

bro you cant just say "Welcome to the middle." and expect me to leave this video satisfied 😭

This clip was filmed in Romania-Bucharest, when were you here, how could i missed you :(( ?

My friend: whats your favorite vsauce video Me: *starts counting*

i come back to this video's title everytime i forget how to count

absolutely mind-blowing! this kind of video should be showing at schools,. You are really one of a kind Michael.

Complete masterpiece. Every single part stimulated me to new thoughts of my own. I’ll have to revisit this video to wrap my head around it fully. It can lead one to so many new currents of thought with its implications.

6:45 I like how you pointed with your shadow.

"Adding one lion to 96--that's basically nothing." The ninety-seventh lion: *cries*

Bro this video was so good, I watched it on my home screen, without even clicking on it

I made it to almost 110 on my first try, whilst sitting at my computer, then 119 standing and doing a lean forward as taught in singing lessons. I have previously done vocal warm-ups, so might be a little better at it than average, but it is still an incredibly doable achievement. These single-breath counters are sitting down in some instances, proving that they aren't singers. A professional singer, in the correct stance, leaning forward as their lungs emptied until their foreheads are nearly touching the ground, could bust 400, opera singers in particular. Made up achievement. Edit: Did not notice I had already commented below this 7 years ago.

I haven’t even been alive 1 Billion seconds. Damn.

How to count past 1,000,000 *Count till the next Vsauce video*

i just love how this video is 7 years old and if it was uploaded today it would still be popular. Cant find that many other places

I always wondered at what level of scale we exist at but never knew how or where to ask it. And you just did! Amazing thanks.

Turning up the volume: Broke Buying 9 more boomboxes: Woke

When counting, his lips would not have touched until he reached one million

The last bit blew my mind! I did the math to verify the claim, and it turns out the body of a neuron is a bit small to sit right in the middle between the planck length and the diameter of the obervable universe. What does however fall right into that sweetspot is the human egg cell. The diameter of an egg cell devided by the planck length being about 7.424E+30, and the diameter of the observable universe devided by that of the egg cell being 7.333E+30, if calculated with the values from wikipedia: for the egg cell of 0.12E-3, the planck length of 1.161255E-35 m and the observable universe 8.8E+26 m. The ratios balance out with an egg cell of 0,1192604041E-3 m. Thank you for intriguing me 😊

that last statement was so crazy to think about

Hmmmm I think I just found a great way of making money. Trading lines of coins with 3 1/2 year olds.

A lot a people count and breath in without even knowing

Michale your videos always mess with my brain, but for some reason the fact that we exist on such a small scale, gives me motivation. Whatever the humans are, or what the universe is, you make it make scenes. You deserve the world, whatever "the world" is

97th lion when he meets Michael alone: Do I matter now?

What's half of nine? Me: 4.5 "Five makes sense." Me: oh...

I just clicked to see how long the title can count

So cool you recorded this video in Romania!!

2:37-Our Brains Sees world as logarithmic 3:58- 4:36- 5:20-Subsitizing 7:14-Plank Length

Me: “counting to a million! Bruh waste of time”. Also me:*sits in the dark watching sauce videos from 4 years ago

I'm happy we can survive 97 lions.

This is (was) the best channel on KZfaq!

2:11 u know its about to get serious when Vsauce music starts playing

Am I the only one realizing how mind blowing this is? "The number of Plank lengths you could stretch across a brain cell is equivalent to the number of brain cells it would take to stretch across the observable universe".

It's been so long since I've had seen a vsauce video. This is my first one actually

in case you’re wondering, the title of this video is -1/12

love how he ended with a mindfuck

Thank you Vsauce, when I lose all my brain cells from all the memes, I go to this channel to get them all back.

Commenting on this video on May 26, 2023.

Thoughts like these keep me awake at night. I will never look at time the same way again.

2:07 everytime that song comes up there's some shady shit comin up

Vsauce: explaining the universe Me: struggling to count the red dots

once again vsauce has not failed to blow my mind in ways i didnt even realize he was

bro this guy explained everything i know about science in 10 minutes and my science teacher couldn't do it for 2 years💀

Imagine vsauce as a teacher Man teachers today suck

I like how he points with his shadow instead of his actual hand.

I believe the logarithmic time explanation for why time seems to go by faster as you get older has been disproven, or at least shown that it can at most account for a small amount of the effect

Micheal’s videos are the only videos you would click on with a title and thumbnail like this and enjoy and learn from it.

7:52 i said 4.5, i suck lol

It's crazy to think that there has never been a person who has lived to be four billion seconds old. Jeanne Calment (the oldest person to ever live) only lived to 3.85 billion seconds old. Even though we can live to be billions of seconds old, when you think of life in seconds you realize how short it really is.

I swear everytime i binge watch VSauce i have an existential crisis

I knew opening youtube at 0:00 am wasnt a good idea, literaly the first recomendation, yet still I'm 100% gonna watch

"How many circles are here?" -counts them 1 by 1 "What goes between 1 and 9?" I guessed 4.5 I am not a normal person? .-.

Always learning things from you Michael!!! It's been amazing collaborating with you!

who else is coming back and bingewatching all of vsauce's old videos XD

the difference between a million and a billion will never cease to amaze me, literally a one-letter name difference but its such a huge leap

Did anyone else say 4.5 when he said what # is in between 1-9

Vsauce: "What is between 1 and 9?" Me: "Easy, 4 1/2" Vsauce: "Most people would guess 5..." Me: "oh.. well im still right to others???" Vsauce: "others may reply with 3.." FML

2:24 counter

what are you doing in romania?

This is the weirdest and the most interesting thing i’ve ever seen.

that planck length universe thing is amazing... I've often thought about being in the middle of two incomprehensibly scaled worlds.

Infinity comes in many sizes. In 1873, the German mathematician Georg Cantor shook math to the core when he discovered that the “real” numbers that fill the number line - most with never-ending digits, like 3.14159… - outnumber “natural” numbers like 1, 2 and 3, even though there are infinitely many of both. Infinite sets of numbers mess with our intuition about size, so as a warmup, compare the natural numbers {1, 2, 3, …} with the odd numbers {1, 3, 5, …}. You might think the first set is bigger, since only half its elements appear in the second set. Cantor realized, though, that the elements of the two sets can be put in a one-to-one correspondence. You can pair off the first elements of each set (1 and 1), then pair off their second elements (2 and 3), then their third (3 and 5), and so on forever, covering all elements of both sets. In this sense, the two infinite sets have the same size, or what Cantor called “cardinality.” He designated their size with the cardinal number ℵ0 (“aleph-zero”). But Cantor discovered that natural numbers can’t be put into one-to-one correspondence with the continuum of real numbers. For instance, try to pair 1 with 1.00000… and 2 with 1.00001…, and you’ll have skipped over infinitely many real numbers (like 1.000000001…). You can’t possibly count them all; their cardinality is greater than that of the natural numbers.Sizes of infinity don’t stop there. Cantor discovered that any infinite set’s power set - the set of all subsets of its elements - has larger cardinality than it does. Every power set itself has a power set, so that cardinal numbers form an infinitely tall tower of infinities.In 1900, the mathematician David Hilbert put the continuum hypothesis first on his famous list of 23 math problems to solve in the 20th century. Hilbert was enthralled by the nascent mathematics of infinity - “Cantor’s paradise,” as he called it - and the continuum hypothesis seemed like its lowest-hanging fruit. To the contrary, shocking revelations last century turned Cantor’s question into a deep epistemological conundrum. The trouble arose in 1931, when the Austrian-born logician Kurt Gödel discovered that any set of axioms that you might posit as a foundation for mathematics will inevitably be incomplete. There will always be questions that your list of ground rules can’t settle, true mathematical facts that they can’t prove. As Gödel suspected right away, the continuum hypothesis is such a case: a problem that’s independent of the standard axioms of mathematics. These axioms, 10 in all, are known as ZFC (for “Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms with the axiom of choice”), and they undergird almost all of modern math. The axioms describe basic properties of collections of objects, or sets. Since virtually everything mathematical can be built out of sets (the empty set {} denotes 0, for instance; {{}} denotes 1; {{},{{}}} denotes 2, and so on), the rules of sets suffice for constructing proofs throughout math. In 1940, Gödel showed that you can’t use the ZFC axioms to disprove the continuum hypothesis. Then in 1963, the American mathematician Paul Cohen showed the opposite -you can’t use them to prove it, either. Cohen’s proof, together with Gödel’s, means the continuum hypothesis is independent of the ZFC axioms; they can have it either way.Cantor first posed the continuum hypothesis in this manuscript, dated July 11, 1877. The paper was published the following year. Courtesy Göttingen State and University Library. In addition to the continuum hypothesis, most other questions about infinite sets turn out to be independent of ZFC as well. This independence is sometimes interpreted to mean that these questions have no answer, but most set theorists see that as a profound misconception. They believe the continuum has a precise size; we just need new tools of logic to figure out what that is. These tools will come in the form of new axioms. “The axioms do not settle these problems,” said Magidor, so “we must extend them to a richer axiom system.” It’s ZFC as a means to mathematical truth that’s lacking - not truth itself. Ever since Cohen, set theorists have sought to shore up the foundations of infinite math by adding at least one new axiom to ZFC. This axiom should illuminate the structure of infinite sets, engender natural and beautiful theorems, avoid fatal contradictions, and, of course, settle Cantor’s question.

5:24 when i was a lifeguard, i had to constantly count the number of people in the pool. instead of counting individually, i would group them into 3’s.

That guy: counts to 1 million MrBeast: are you challenging me?

SHUT UP STOP KEEPING ME UP I NEED TO GO TO BED

04:33 All my life I was wondering about this effect. Finally got the answer. Thank you.

Only Vsauce can count up from 1 to as far as a video title will allow and have it be completely normal for them

"May explain why life seems to speed up as we get older" This is true, it felt like forever being a kid, and now everything seems to be playing at fast forward around me. Hard to believe it's been 6 years already since this video was made. Time does seem to fly when you get older.

2:07 When that sound plays... Stuffs about to go down

Vsauce is probably the thing that has most regularly blown my mind!

7:29 Vsauce: "Okay, with that in mind, here's a question. What number is halfway in-between 1 and 9?" me: "4.5" the answer: 5

Friend: what are you watching? Me: Vsauce Friend: what’s the name of the video? Me: oh it’s 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35...

Mr Beast: *Hold my beer*

What is halfway through a and b? Formula: Subtract a from b. (b-a). Divide b-a by 2. ((b-a)/2). Add a. (((b-a)/2)+a).

Vsauce always have such good music and the content is superb.

One of the best vsauce videos of all time

He knows we know ...... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa6ig8mJ2NS7mJc.html

Vsauce: Linear counting Me, an intellectual: 1, 2, skip a few, one million

KZfaq Home Page: 2015: ... 2016: ... 2017: ... 2018: ... 2019: ... 2020: hey you should watch this

I said 4.5 was halfway...

One thing to remember. It takes more than a second to say most numbers

Man every time. It's like okay maybe I'll watch 5 minutes of this just to get myself in the mood to waste some time. Michael: No! It's learning time!

Come

"Imagine the smallest thing, a planck lenght. Now imagine the biggest thing, the observable universe" "What would be in the middle?" Me: my last braincell

I love watching Vsause because I don't get most of his videos and they mess with my brain

Whoa! that last part was mind boggling

How many of y'all tried to break that boy's record of 125 numbers in one breath as soon as he said it?

he blew my mind with logarithmic life explanation.
