We all know fire is just sharp air

he probably forgot Vsauce's main channel's password and that's why he's uploading it here

Stop calling it a "icosahedron" That's a lowly name. It's a gyroelongated pentagonal bipyramid

1:47 Ah, yes the elements of which everything is comprised: campfire, turnip garden, lobster king, sunshine and finally, bird.

"Modern measurements have shown that this isn't how the solar system works" Okay but Kepler was PRETTY DAMN CLOSE you can't deny how almost-perfect it is

Want to have a unique intro? Just crabwalk into the frame naked

A Platonic solid is what I get put in when I ask out a woman

"auugh, platonic." my favourite quote ever

Damn Michael lookin thicc

Earth, air, fire, water, all four nations lived in harmony until the dodecahedrons attacked

You, a simpleton: "I am going swimming". Me, an intellectual: "I am going to submerse myself in Rolly Boys".

The thrill of knowing that all this time I was playing DnD with platonic solids. Thank you, Michael.

Seeing Micheal half naked followed by the title Micheal's toys made me think we were going to see a different variety of toys....

Michael, Did you forget your VSauce's account password?

"God does not play dice." -Einstein of Aristotle's DnD game

4:01 if I’m not mistaken, I believe Michael just anyway’d Plato.

The cube is what the earth is made of, *insert minecraft music here*

I like where this channel is going...

D4 D8 D6 D12 D20 But D10 isnt platonic :(

He really does gradually become more and more insane with each episode

You know you‘re a smart man when you can mock greek philosophers.

So math is related to science

4:26 gyroelongated pentagonal bipyramid

8:42 "And the ratios between the radii of these six spheres, matched the distances of those six known planets from the Sun." I am passing out. That's awesome. And even if it isn't the very exact measurements, they are still very similar, and TBH it wasn't mentioned in the video if there was ever a time in our Solar System in which they might have.

0:02 this dong has gone wild

Dolan already edit this? xD

" thank you for watching" ..... That whole outro was so nice.... very well done I loved the animations with the vibe of the song

Dnd dice make up the universe? Thats pretty metal. Hahahaha

I like how he’s so meta that he knows he’s a meme

Michael is a living walking proof that having a good teacher is everything. Good teacher can make learning so much more enjoyable and interesting. The way he talks about it is so passionate and contagious.

3:17 is whenever someone says something annoying

"Each [platonic solid] is made up of congruent, regular, polygon faces and have the same number of faces meeting at each vertex." Okay, but wouldn't that include the regular star polyhedra? Wikipedia's article on regular polyhedron has has the same requirements and includes the regular star polyhedra: "The faces are congruent regular polygons which are assembled in the same way around each vertex." Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polyhedron#mw-content-text The platonic solids are the *convex* regular polyhedra.

I live for Vsauce 1 and 3 content (and 2, but that’s more like, chilling on an afternoon content)

I don't study science ( I'm a nurse, so I have a little notion of it), and these abstract things would go over my head if some university professor tried to explain me. Michael is an exellent storyteller and is so good at explaining and showing the ideas/theories/mathsjizzle without making it to complicated and without forcing his opinion. Never stop doing what you're doing Michael.

My mom and I got the curiosity box for my dad, and he absolutely loved it! My dad and I actually fought over the shirt and we're totally getting another one. The book it came with was so interesting, and I loved the little collectables it came with too!

Dude...your cause and means of making a difference is so amazing. Props bro

*MICHAEL’S TOYS*

Guys can we please stop objectifying Michael he's got human emotions too I think

Favorite KZfaq channel man. I put it on when I take a shower and it’s pretty relaxing and entertaining.

There are actually 48 regular polytopes in 3D

Got a sudden urge to play D&D

6:32

I was wondering where all my Vsauce videos went, and I only now have realised that the content on this channel feels more like main Vsause than it feels like the old Dongs. Wonderful.

The song at the end is Annie Drury - On Cloud Nine. You can listen to it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/batiodh6ptjUo5s.html

6:48 Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.

Best ad ever.

so basically this video is just one giant merch plug and so far its the best one ive ever seen

Broooooooo imagine thinking there are only five regular polyhedra when literally everyone ever knows there are 48

Michael has a crush on Plato.

Michael is getting wilder as time goes on, haha.

this video somehow combined d&d and minecraft with geometry and astronomy and i love it. some of my favourite things in this world.

For all the people saying that there are 48 regular polyhedra, that is very true, but michael was talking about bounded convex shapes (not explicitly stated in the definition of a Platonic solid by Plato but platonic solids are classed as refular regular polyhedra that fall under this category), so no stellated dodecahedrons or euclidean tilings.

The outro song can be heard here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idp3d8qhnrfMkmg.html

I miss "Hey Vsauce, Michael here"

"But in 3 dimensions there are only 5 regular polytopes." Me, an intellectual who's watched jan Misali's video on the 8 regular polyhedra: Well yes, but actually no.

I remember playing with kinnex as a kid and being amazed when I made my first dodecahedron. There's something truly special about that shape to the brain

We just watched an 11 minute ad for a shirt right? Edit: So many likes thank you

get this guy to do Cosmos 3 series. Also hire Arthur Issac the KZfaqr as a co-writer

I literally watched this video 10x or even more but still enjoy the hell out of it you''re awsome Michael!

Whoa this was posted a month ago.... I've been trying to connect it all for myself, for a long time now and I finally was like let me check KZfaq. I just like using my books and then looking a few things up here and there but still trying to grasp it like the whole model for the past few months indefinitely. But it's great that you Michael have recently done a video on this so I'll probably understand it a lot better now. Thank you much take care

He is doing the meme bait on purpose

The cube is earth.. Because Minecraft

Ngl, this video is hard to watch after having seen Jan Misali's video about regular Polyhedra, and hearing Michael say the platonic solids are the only ones

I love the videos where he just messes around and builds things and puts shape peices together to make new, cooler shapes.

Wait, i thought that by the time Kepler was was inspirational, Copernicus' sun-center theory was already picking up steam.

Michael i love the funny way you explain science, you were made for this! Keep up the good work

6:48 - 6:51, Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.

Tetrahedron - Fire Octahedron - Air Icosahedron - Water Square - Earth Dodecahedron - Д̷̢̛̬̰̘̲̠͉̯̋̈̾͊͒̌̈́́͒͘͘͝͝р̸͍̠̰͉̹̯̦͉̹͔̬̲̫̹̀̆̅̌̕̚̕͝у̷̰͙̙͋̈́͋͋̎͂̓͋̓͠г̵̨̥̤̱̼͔̭̗͔̺̓̆̒̏͂͒́̊̆̏̚͠

I’m calling it, there are two more Platonic solids. They’ll match up with Uranus and Neptune

And that is why d&d is the best.

8:52 I'm actually starting to believe that idea

I miss the old D.O.N.G. format with all the weird and wacky websites. I still enjoyed this video but it was more LUT than D.O.N.G.

So..... sacred geometry.

This was a beautiful and interesting episode, a pleasure to watch. Thank you Michael and your team.

1:30 But Michael, there are actually 48 regular polyhedra!

This is addictive. Cant stop watching your videos!

PETITION TO BRING BACK VSAUCE Dang, I still have soooooo many UNANSWERED questions! THERE'S SOOOOOO MANY VSAUCE TOPICS OUT THERE!

Top 10 anime series

Thank you for answering a lot of questions I had in this video, Michael!

Once I had a really profound dream about life and the universe and I remember I was in my house and this being asked me if I was platonic. I don't think I even knew what platonic meant at that time. Then I did some research and I'm finding out a lot about this subject! I also learned that some of the Platonic shapes actually occur in nature. This made me think about the different shapes and how some of the fundamental things in the universe are made from these shapes. It also makes me think about the similarities of these shapes with vibration and frequency. How water droplets actually form complex geometric shapes with certain frequencies. Since our bodies supposedly contain water does that mean that different frequencies resonate differently within us? Do they affect us directly? Can we change our frequency and state of vibration? How? What happens if we can? So many questions left unanswered...

Not just Plato, but Pythagoras would be proud of this video too. Nicely done, Michael!

0:28 he didn't even glance at the box he caught!

I always learn something new from you Michael !! You are an amazing guy.

Do you remember the scholastic book fair that schools would have where you could order all kinds of cool random stuff, those were so exciting to me. The curiosity box gives me that same feeling, I would love to get ahold of one someday. I love your video's keep up the amazing work.

this is turning into a vsauce video trippy

DONG intros never disappoint, so dank.

0:50 The solids depicted (left-to-right, top-down) are: a torus, a scalene triangle, a rectangle (I'd assume the vertex-figure of the cuboctahedron), an irregular dodecagon, a distortion of the vertex-figure of the small inverted retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron, the final stellation of the icosahedron, a triangular-octagonal duoprism, a tetrahedron, an icosidodecahedron, and the icositetrachoron.

The Kepler Poinsot polyhedra are regular polytopes made of pentagram because the self intersections aren't vertices the symmetry is preserved

Mike searching for the most uncomfortable way to start a video. He's approaching the "uhhhh" singularity

0:10 New meme template incoming!

What a fantastic video. Keppler's Cosmographicum blew my mind.

Could you do a video going over the sets of uniform polyhedron, being the infinite sets of prisms and anti prisms, the Platonic solids, the Kepler-poinsot solids, the dual sets of Archimedean and Catalan solids, the regular compounds, and all uniform star polyhedra.

Michael, I love you more than platonically

Michael... You're becoming the meme

Earth made of cubes???? MINECRAFT ! thanks plato

3:21 marriage, your words “yay friends”, your emotions “uggh friends”. I’m just kidding it’s just that’s how your words conveyed.
