Pedro Silveira Ask a banana: The most produced and therefor eaten Banana is triploid, which makes it hard to bread. So, two seams to be a good compromise.

mmmmmmm.....banana bread......

sarowie, triploids are infertile. Hence, why people grow triploid bananas. They generally can't develop mature seeds. The same goes for "seedless" watermelons. They are also triploid. They even grow triploid fish. _" Human cells are diploid, containing two copies of each chromosome,"_ As some of you may know, not all human cells are diploid. Gametes are haploid, most liver cells (hepatocytes) are tetraploid or octoploid (with one nucleus or binuclear, respectively): jbc.org/content/278/21/19095.full and many heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) also become polyploid and polynuclear: circres.ahajournals.org/content/106/9/1498.full Skeletal muscle fibers are multi-nucleated, so they are also polyploid _sensu stricto,_ although in that case the process that gives rise to polyploidy (cell fusion) is different to the above cases. Likewise, the syncytiotrophoblast of the (human) placenta is also formed by cell fusion, and therefore multi-nucleated and polyploid. Finally, red blood cells (erythrocytes) have neither chromosomes nor nucleus. Edit: I had missed giant cells: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_cell

Doesnt the uncertainty principle forbid what is said at 4:37? Esle you could predict the future with the same method right?

Great video! Unfortunately, even if you knew the precise location of every particle in the air, land, and sea... I don't think you could trace it back to your speech patterns. The Thermodynamic and Quantum arrows of time both say otherwise. There are just certain things that are irreversible. I think the best you could do is find a number of possible states. I could be wrong, though.

MinutePhysics's video said that we cant do that. I guess this is was classical deterministic part and the next part will be about the quantum part. BTW MP's video was called something like "Can we predict everything?"

Tejas Chitnis Predicting the future and extrapolating information about the past are two different things. And if I remember correctly, for some reason quantum mechanics behaves in a predictable fashion if time is reversed. It's really confusing and doesn't make intuitive sense, but that's QM for you.

LeiosOS If you could trace the pattern, condition and motion of two particals, could you trace the pattern condition and motion of three? Is the outcome of the roll of the dice determined prior to it landing on the table? Yet impossible to determine by us simply because of the minutia of variable influence? If there is only one past, and only one future, and each incremental state of existence depends on the existing state of the present, then predetermination seems the only obvious conclusion. I couldn't be in America then suddenly in France, unless energy compelled me to be in the new location.

New experience, asi por decirlo

I'm fluent in both but English is my main language, so I tuned the Spanish out. That might be because I hardly ever hear that dialect, though, so my brain doesn't tell me to pay attention to it.

Condolences to your family

I know you posted three years ago, so I’m sorry. I think they meant that if someone had info info on a closed system everything that two people ever affect, they could extrapolate back to figure out what those people said at a given point in time. It’s like movies where a super computer can scan the whole universe, so it can answer any question past present or future based on how things act.

Strong Medicine yeah，wave function collapse loses information

Why the uncertainty principal? It's not necessary to invoke quantum mechanics here. Classically and thermodynamis states entropy must increase in real systems which aren't reversible. I believe the acoustic vibrations represent that. I agree the info is lost as pure heat, not stored.

my understanding of this has evolved and i think my comment wasn't very insightful. It is interesting to use quantum mechanics to explain the 'why' entropy must increase. Whereas my comment simply takes that as fact, Veritasium is trying to explain the mechanism. And in fact the information isn't 'lost' -- that's incorrect. Information can't be destroyed, it is entropy after all, transformation of the vibrations to diffuse heat is just a higher entropy state of the same information --with more 'noise'. Second law shows you can't reduce that higher state entropy to a lower 'noise' entropy state without spending energy, that's all.

@@dcamron46 excellent clarification dc, appreciate your further insight into the matter

Hey, I didn't know you watched Veritasium! I probably should've guessed though.

Nope,mind->blown.That is not a =

Pick any die and let it be the starting point. It has some number on it. The second die has a 5/6 chance of being different. The third die has a 4/6 chance of being different from the first two. The fourth die has a 3/6 chance of being different from the first three. The fifth die has a 2/6 chance of being different, and the last die a 1/6 chance. Multiply it all out and you get (6 factorial) / (6^6) = 0.015432099. The expected number of tosses to get that is the reciprocal of that value, which is 64.8. So, there's a 50/50 chance you'll get it within 65 rolls.

Or just combine separate 1, 2, 3 etc rolls into one shot. Also, what a necro, over 4 years.

Make all the die fake, all faces are the same

@@KipIngram I never saw this before and another necro revealed it to me. I'm going to have to watch the video again to understand what this was all about but I'm gonna guess that all the maths stuff is accurate. Until then, you have my thanks.

@@KipIngram actually, if you do 65 rolls, there is a 63% chance of succeeding. If you do it many times, on average you will succeed once every 64.8 tries, but if you roll 65 times in a row and then stop there is a 63% chance of succeeding.

When you speed up a video (or audio) you actually do lose a lot of information. Even if you still understand the words, you lose the wide array of communication that a speaking human engages in beyond the words themselves. You lose tone. You lose emotion. You lose any kind of subtlety being communicated non-explicitly. If you don't believe me, try listening to comedy sped up. So I would argue that you can absorb the literal content of sped up audio as fast as at normal speed because you are dropping a lot of information in order to receive strictly the transcript faster.

@@nunliski - Maybe, but I’ve been doing that a lot, lately-watching videos at high speed-, and I’ve noticed that many speakers are actually very slow in giving new and significant information. They have pauses. They also have a lot of syntax or what I’d call grammar fluff that’s nonessential. Of course, half of what I’m viewing is semi-sensational news, and it’s often supplemented by photos or videos. Ie I suspect a) there’s a lot of syntax/grammar and contextual words that, if you already know the video byline and/or gist of the story, not much “missed” in hearing process limits is necessary or new. b) I also suspect that speakers-and writers-are limited by the thoughts and then the process of translating those thoughts into speech or writing. c) Corollary to b) - If I’m _watching_ a video, I am not really interacting with another person, thinking of their ideas, and we are both not needing to say things in a two person conversation. Even news shows-or scripted information videos like this one-are not really two-way streams of communication (not counting comments, for the sake of the video speed discussion). Ie the viewer has more working memory freed up to process incoming information.

@@nunliski I don’t. I’m very smart and it’s easy for me to understand the emotion as well. It’s exactly the same information. Your brain is just too slow. YOU ARE A PEASANT.

I love you Zogg, your last video was incredible. I'm eager to learn about that weird species you always talk about, they are called Earthlings I believe (not for invasions, of course).

This is also similar to how teleporting machines work (outside Earth). Earthlings believe every particle in the body have to be quantified and be moved or copied to the destination. But really you only have to decrease the probability that you are at the source while simultaneously increase the probability that you are at the destination.

love your work Zogg

Veritasium WHEN!

Yes that's a fascinating subject ! I've been once totally persuaded that this theory was absolutely true, but then I've heard much about quantum physics and how little things may happen randomly. Really looking forward to this video !

But for me, the possibility lies that random is just... the unknown. We don't know the pattern.

+Jacobo Pindado The point was to make the English and Spanish clips end at the same time. She has to speak faster to get the same amount of information out.

+Bloodbath and Beyond Spanish and English spoken naturally, and indeed any other language, will on average communicate the same amount of information in the same amount of time. That's the point Veritasium was making.

***** Which is why she has to speak faster to get the same information out, right?

+Bloodbath and Beyond Yes, and such a rate of speech is natural for Spanish speakers.

+Jacobo Pindado i have spanish friends and when they speak spanish they speak just as fast as that

@@speed2574 thank you.

excellent deductions.

Then you haven't actually seen Frozen.

well Frozen is a 1 hour and 30 minute video, so if you didn't see the other half then technically you didn't see frozen, but then you could say the you saw the whole film except the last millisecond does that mean that you haven't seen frozen yet? Nonetheless you are going into hypothetical territory, and that's not a good place to be.

the definition of half is important as you could have watched the whole movie by skipping a frame which would still be a whole movie but pain to watch if the original is around 25fps

then you use quantum processing, superposition and shit

master3243 Then, when we ask if somebody has watched the movie, we actually ask them, if they know the plot and if they can make sense of it? So, when I spoiled a plottwist in that one GoT episode to my friend, does it mean that he "watched" this episode? He already knows what will happen... I know, I'm a terrible person. Sometimes...

Based on the video if he says 1 MB of purely base pair differences, that would be 4,000,000 base pairs (4 per byte). Multiply that by 35 bits (33 bit offset, 2 bit value) and it comes to about 17.5 MB. It is possible to reduce the amount of space required by using a variable length encoding for the offsets. A example of a simple variable length encoding is to reserve the top bit of each byte as a flag to indicate whether more bytes are required. This works especially well if you store the offsets in order, and instead of storing the absolute offset, just store the difference from the previous offset. I ran a simulation with 13-bit style variable length integers, and with randomly distributed offsets, it comes out to less than 8 MB. It still won't fit on a floppy, but not bad :). This was my simulation code (C#): const long totalBasePairs = 6000000000; const int diffBasePairs = 4000000; const int bitGrouping = 13; Random rand = new Random(); List offsets = Enumerable.Range(0, diffBasePairs).Select(n => (long)(rand.NextDouble() * totalBasePairs)).OrderBy(n => n).ToList(); Func getVLIntSize = (value) => { int s = 0; do { value >>= bitGrouping - 1; s += bitGrouping; } while (value != 0); return s; }; int offsetsBitSize = getVLIntSize(offsets[0]) + Enumerable.Range(1, offsets.Count - 1).Sum(i => getVLIntSize(offsets[i] - offsets[i - 1])); int basePairsBitSize = diffBasePairs * 2; int totalBytes = (offsetsBitSize + basePairsBitSize) / 8; Debug.WriteLine(totalBytes.ToString("#,##0"));

jdpurcell2 Nice work :-)

Martin Owens Thanks! I had another cool idea too: you don't even need to store the 2 bit values each time. List the offsets for A first, then C, then T, then G, using a special offset (e.g. one greater than the maximum possible offset) to delimit where each list of offsets ends.

jdpurcell2 It'd be cool to write something firth to generate a random set of data about 1.5GiB then to modify it randomly 1.5 million times (1 in 1000) then give you the two files to see if you can first unpack into a delta and then repack into either file (forwards and backwards) ;-)

"...the laws of logic that you are using right now to understand my comment is not physical..." But they exist as electro-chemical activity in your brain.. which is, obviously, physical. I guess the question is, "is consciousness physical?" And your answer is a resounding no. However, I am not so sure. I believe that certainty is, at best, illusory.

Well not all schools of philosophy subscribe to the platonic view of logic and information being actual existing concepts and ideas beyond the physical world.

I wholeheartedly agree. Even if we don't subscribe to a platonic existence of our concepts, their encoding in our brains as particular connections between neurons (or as particular patterns of brain activity, or as anything, really) is really not necessarily, and probably not at all, exactly the same for every human being. So the concept of "the number two" as a physical entity or as physically inscribed in some way is problematic. You have to consider some equivalence class, and that's already an abstract construction (which in turn has its own multiple inscriptions in our brains, etc.). Moreover, the fact that the vibrations of the air we produce with speech interact with everything around us does not mean AT ALL that we could retrieve this spoken information afterwards, even if we could observe very precisely every molecule in the world. Sound vibrations are dampened when they travel through the air and when they hit a surface, which means energy is converted from motion to heat. That exact amount of heat could have been generated by a large number of factors, including many different sounds going through the air. So no, speaking is not a way of recording sound into the physical world. It does get lost. (and if we want to look at subatomic particles instead of just the air molecules, there's a whole mess of quantum possibilities that arise)

srpilha One thing you said that I have to semi-disagree with is that the number two isn't the same for every human being. Having studied psychology extensively, I have come to the conclusion that numbers, words, colors, etc... are all the same for everyone who is raised similarly, i.e. most people born and raised in America will have the exact same interpretations of numbers, letters, colors, etc... The interesting part is that across cultures, there are enormous language differences in perception. Some languages only have 5 colors, for example, and what you may perceive as closer to blue, another culture may see as being closer to green. Whether these are actual differences in representations in the brain or simple languge barriers is still being researched, but it may be that language has a huge impact on the actual mechanisms of perception. So back to the number 2. If two people are raised the same way, their number 2's will be the same, just as you and I see blue the same way. Yet other cultures might be different. I can't wait for mind/machine interface. It will allow us to share thoughts and oh what fun that will be!

Actually the vid has it right. You mention laws of logic. But we are really dealing with thoughts. Each thought is a series of electrical impulses in the brain. Each impulse of current will generate a given amount of heat. That heat does present it self in some finite way. While it is doubtful that we will have a way to measure the heat generate the principle is sound. So in principle it is right. All information will have some physical effect or form associated with it. Just because we can not perceive it doesn't mean that it does not exist. BTW thought (laws of logic) also have a measurable electrical signal we can in fact measure. I was wanting to point out a less obvious effect of thought (laws of logic etc)

I've wondered this for years (the relative information density of languages).

@@aerobolt256 i find it funny that when the floppy disk was invented, there used to always been this confusion like "why is it called "floppy" when its quite stiff? (For context, floppies were preceded by even bigger, _floppier_ disks which i think were still called floppy disks). Then they would explain to you "yes because compared to the hard drive in the PC, this is floppy. And furthermore, if you take out the _actual_ disk inside it.." Hold on... what? So you pulled back that clip up top and you could actually pinch out what I can only describe as a thin circle of cellophane-like plastic. The disk was ruined once you did this, but I remember being blown away by the fact that what I thought was the disk itself was just a plastic case for... _the floppy_ And then, of course, CDs became widely used and compared to them, the floppy disk is floppy in every aspect, so the confusion died away with the technology. 🤔 You know for someone who hated history in school, I sure blab on about it sometimes...
