Definitely gotta do more Vsauce, his videos are amazing

Walter Summerford isn't even the man who got struck by lightning the most times. That title goes to Cleveland Sullivan, who got struck 7 times. Poor guy survived all of them, only to end his own life at the age of 70 I think. Also loved the reaction, big Vsauce fan. My favorite videos from his channel are why are things creepy? & mistakes. I highly recommend...

Debunking the Neil Armstrong line: Someone tells you what you will hear when the message is run backwards. That idea ("man will spacewalk"), or that sound, has just been planted in your mind. Naturally, when the message is run backwards, you hear exactly what you were prompted to hear.

Love your Vsauce reactions, hope you continue to do more🔥

I like how you start off most your videos with a smile that and you brought back some nostalgia, I used to watch this dude all the time.

I've said this before and I'll say it again... I love this woman and always look forward to her content. Things are getting worse in many ways and Idiocracy lives strong unfortunately. With all the hell happening I've got to say for some reason watching her content calms me and helps me just forget the day and just relax. There really aren't many like her seriously. Anyway I hope you're well and the political evils among us being both sides are basically a brush off your shoulder. You're definitely that type to do you and not let others control your feelings. I absolutely get that from her. Intelligence is a life saver. She's got plenty to lend out and just let us relax once in awhile. I have to cheers because I love this woman 🥂

Just found your channel, subscribing for more Vsauce reactions! There's so many great videos of his, especially his older ones

Dark side of the moon synched up with Mall Cop 2 is a sureal experience with scenes perfectly matching the songs in the album.

One weird thing with music that I’ve always encountered is that once I’ve heard a song so many times, after a while, it begins to feel like every new time I hear the song, it feels like the tempo is sped up. It happens with every single song I listen to frequently. Once I get used to the lyrics, the tempo, the instrumentals, and the cadence, all of a sudden the song sounds like someone changed the playback speed. Does that happen to anyone else?

love this channel please keep posting

I picked out some of the many coincidences from a longer list comparing Dark Side of the Moon-Wizard of Oz: The album cover shows white becoming color. Side One of the album (vinyl) is exactly as long as the black and white portion of the film. The film switches to color for the second side. Songs - ON THE RUN 2. Dorothy starts singing "Over the Rainbow" which has the same initials (OTR) as "On the Run". TIME 1. Miss Gulch arrives on her bike right as the chimes/bells begin. 2. "Waiting for someone or something to show you the way"- Toto escapes basket; Toto jumps through window to show Dorothy the way. 5. The song is about time... The sign on Professor Marvel's trailer says "Past, Present, and Future". GREAT GIG IN THE SKY 1. "I am not frightened of dying, etc..."- Tornado appears; they could possibly die. 2. The song intensifies as the storm picks up. 3. Drums come in the second the wind starts picking up. 6. The song de-intensifies when Dorothy his hit by the window and goes into a dream. MONEY 4. "Don't give me that do goody-good….."- Enter the Good Witch. 5. "I'm in the hi-fidelity, first-class traveling set, and I think I need a Lear jet"- Glinda arrives in her bubble. First-class traveling for witches, perhaps? US AND THEM 2. " 5. "Black, black, black, and blue, blue, blue"- Wicked Witch of the West enters dressed in black; camera cuts over to Dorothy, who is wearing blue. 6. "And who knows which is which and who is who"- The witches confront each other. Notice the pun with "which is which" sounding like "witch is witch". 11. "Down, down, down, and out, out, out"- Glinda exists in her bubble, down and out. 14. Song ends, Dorothy waves good-bye. BRAIN DAMAGE 1. Song is "BRAIN Damage"... Scarecrow sings "If I only had a BRAIN". 2. "The lunatic is on the grass"- Dorothy and Scarecrow on the grass. 3. "Got to keep the loonies on the path"- Dorothy and Scarecrow on the Yellow Brick Road. ECLIPSE 2. The heartbeat at the end of the album coincides with Dorothy listening for Tinman's heartbeat.

Wish you were here being better than Dark side of the Moon, not just you!! Just found your videos and vsauce reactions, really love your style and openness to learning, you are obviously very well learned, but, know that there is so much more to learn everyday, a trait many seem to have forgotten, sub'd and belled to your channel, looking forward to reviewing your thoughts on space and time and what new stuff you produce!!

Totally agree about that Pink Floyd take, WYWH is a pretty awesome album cover!

You are SO correct on Wish You Were Here! It is wayyyy better than Dark Side

Michael Chrightons Jurassic Park novel talks throughout the book that coincidence is simply mathamaticly inevitable.

Agree with you about "Wish you were here"💯❤‍🔥

Love Vsauce! The word you were looking for is anagram, which is when a word or phrase is formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. For example, the word anagram itself can be rearranged into nag a ram, as well as the word binary into brainy and the word adobe into abode. :)

When I was in college, the on-campus theater played wizard of oz synced with darkside of the moon. It was a blast.

I really like this video. In a world of so many infinite variables and possibilities, coincidences such as these seem almost impossible. When in fact it is because there is so much in the world that these coincidences become inevitable. Plus our own pattern seeking minds will always fill in the gaps.

Ayy, now I have a good video to listen to, while I'm drawing.🤙🏻

Makes sense that the reverse talking reminds you of the Red Room of Twin Peaks. That's exactly how they made those scenes. They filmed the actors talk, walk and act in reverse, then showed the footage in reverse. Reverse + reverse = forward but weird. By the way, I did finish Twin Peaks and also don't know who killed Laura, or whether reality is even real.

Sometimes when listening to music on shuffle, I like to predict the next song that's coming up. Not consciously but by having that song already play in my head before the song actually starts. Maybe it's because I already heard that transition from one song to the next and have gotten used to it so much that I expected it.

Watching your video really gives me a smile on my face, cause your smile is so contatious :)

As a teen I went to an arts school to study music. One day when we had nothing better to do, our teacher decided to put on wizard of oz and pink floyd for us to see how well it lined up. And we joked about it being oooh spooky conspiracy oooh illuminati XD I think at the time we were also making an underscore for a play performed by the theater class, so it kinda made sense. Cos usually on a no classwork day he would split us into three groups and have us go make music then we'd all share our pieces at the end.. good times.

14:57 when he said hidden messages i was like i knew that picture behind you kept changing😅

From my life, I remember one coincidence from 20 years ago. End of vacation at my cabin, driving down from the mountain and onto the freeway to a 5 hour drive to my home. The car I went onto the freeway in front of I noticed, as it was the same type I was driving, and not that common in Norway. 5 hours later I turned onto my property and the other car was right behind me, honking as I went into my driveway. He had obviously also noticed we had driven half way across the country more or less together and ended up in the same neighbourhood at the same time. We had not seen each other all the way as lane usage and speed varied. We did not know each other, but obviously lived not far apart. It was fun we both noticed the coincidence 😊

Please more vsauce!

Remembered a brilliant short film that'll blow your mind: Room 8. Won the BAFTA for short film in 2014.

Agree with you on Wish You Were Here - their best album by far

More VSauce please!

Gotta start dark side of the moon on the 2nd lions roar though at beginning of the movie.

I want to see that Spiderman sync up with Motorhead Killed By Death.

No Protocol x VSauce - Great combo

9:50 'Curious who figured that out, a savant maybe?' (in regards to Dark Side of Oz) Weed, pretty sure weed was involved. Maybe acid, probably weed. Also, to quote Sir Terry Pratchett: "Million to one chances happen nine times out of ten."

The quote from Stephen King about everything in your house being replaced reminds me of Caprgras Syndrome, my most feared delusion It’s a schizophrenic or neurological symptom where your brain fails to recognize the faces of those close to you, even though you can tell they are familiar enough. But something about them doesn’t match the feeling in your memory. And so you become filled with the dread that all of your loved ones are being replaced with copies, or creatures, or replica people The idea of looking at a family member and believing they’re some kind of mannequin person because your memory recall is broken scares the *fuck* out of me. It would be like looking at photos of these creepy dolls, except they’re all people that you actually know

PINK FLOYD THE WALL!....one of my favorite birthday gifts....

In Twin Peaks the actors actually had to speak backwards. The actor of the "dwarf" was fluent in doing it on the fly since he invented it in childhood as a secret language

Melvyn Roberts was struck by lightning 11 times, so he says. His wife says she stays far away from him during a storm because someone has to call for emergency.

Armstrong was saying “Man is a Spaceball”.

He was a local here.....got stuck twice more...but never told anyone. Didn't want to deal with the press.

Lee Harvey Oswald reminds me of the video by Wendigoon on the conspiracy behind this even, would highly recommend that video and his channel in general.

They suggest a phrase sounds like this or that and then play it for you, so your brain is pre-conditioned to try and affirm their suggestion.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - when Robert Plant begins singing about the Two Roads/Paths, stop it and play it in reverse @ 33rpm, he dedicates the song to "Satan". I was a Club DJ and used to do it all the time to freak ppl out.

Spotify's random (shuffle) is definitely sus. Frequently I add new songs to a playlist and the next time I shuffle play the playlist, the new songs come on first. This and my liked songs list is huge, spanning so many different genres, but it seems to get genre locked sometimes. And speaking of spooky coincidences, there's a giant advert screen on the side of the road near my house and when I had to cancel my card due to theft it took a while and I had to pause my Spotify membership. I'd never seen a Spotify ad on that screen before, I walk past it almost every day, but during the time where my membership had lapsed, there was one. And I've never seen another since!

that's a great point, wondering who found out the "albums played alongside movies" thing 😂reminds me of a line from Talladega Nights "why do you want to listen to the TV with the stereo on?" "....cus i like to party"

More Vsauce please 🙏🙏

Here's my strange coincidence story: I burned an audio CD for my car, and threw in as many of my favorite songs and artists that I had available. As it turned out, there was one song that had been done by two different artists, one by the Beatles and the other by Robert Palmer. When I played the CD it played the songs in the alphabetical order of song titles, so it played the two different versions of the same song, back to back. Even though I liked both versions of the song, over time, I grew a bit tired of hearing essentially the same song twice. Oddly enough, the name of the song was "Not a Second Time".

Please more Vsauce! :)

Please more vsauce reactions!

The syncing thing makes me think of some of my favorite mash-up videos. Like Matilda and Rob Zombie. 😂

I have had hundreds of coincidences, some are selective perception, but many that were way beyond any rational probability

As a life long Pink Floyd fan, I wholehearted agree with you with your fav album, Have a cigar is my overall fav track...

Pink Floyd - Animals album. Rarely mentioned, but it's one of my top favourites.

the plaque behind michael was rotating the whole time

I had something happen to me similar to the Disneyland thing. I went to Legoland when I was very young and raced a car I built and it got tangled in another car. Years later, I went to middle and high school in another state and became best friends with the guy who built the other car.

I like to sync Dark Side of the Moon to the 1978 Watershid Down movie. You have to play it twice with a bit of a pause between playings, but it goes along nicely.

I learned the concepts of the law of large numbers from studying and playing poker. If not for the law of large numbers, the success of players would be subject to "variance", which are outcomes that diverge from expected probabilities. But, if you have a sample size large enough, and the cumulative odds are in your favor, then you should expect to see a favorable result that is close to the probabilistic outcome

When 'Lost' aired and introducded The Numbers...

they also say tupac's albums had hidden messages of him foretelling his own passing.

I find that DSOTM syncs better with Wizard of Oz if it's started when Dorothy lands in Oz.

I remember learning about walter from a meme where the punchline was a picture of god saying: “fck that guy”

I had a thought at 0100 this morning about why I always wake up to experience a reality I had left the night before. In other words the world is sequential. But , as V Sauce may say, 'Suppose that this is an Illusion'? And in fact everything is happening 'Out of Time'! Or That Time is An Illusion!

The Pink Floyd, Wizard of Oz thing was probably someone sitting, stoned out of their gourd, watching Wizard of Oz while their roommate was blasting Dark Side of the Moon is a nearby room.

The brain looks for familiarities in things

At the end of Purple Rain by Prince there ARE hidden messages. Good messages. I heard it played backwards. He says something like "God is coming soon." And, he sings it as if it were a song in and of itself.

A good book also related to the subject is The Doomsday Calculation by William Poundstone.

Oh I see you as someone who would Rock this "Words in Words " ;) I alwaysy thought those are (way) more fun like crosswords than numbers and Sudokous (not my forteé even though I keep on trying ocassionally).

I thought this was about Vinny / Vinesauce and I got so excited lol

The best example of backwards music is “Another one bites the dust” which backwards is “it’s fun to smoke marijuana”

This was a good one! Actually, Six Degrees of Separation is also an example of coincidence, patterns and large numbers (the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other.) For example: Within six contacts/friends of friends, I have connections to both Trump and Putin. They're not really people I'd ideally want to have connections to, and I'm British living in the UK, so the odds seem pretty low, but Six degrees of separation wins once again. How many people in this comments channel know each other via other people? A lot I'm betting 🙂

If you reverse *everything* then occasionally there will be instances where, quite by chance, the reversed words appear to have some related meaning. I'm pretty sure it just comes from our tendency to look for patterns in things. Oh, and Pink Floyd syncs up with *everything* :)

I'm partial to the Animals album myself. But both Wish You were here and Meddle are solidly at number 2.

More Vsauce. More Vsauce!😁

The meaning of life The engine of a film The fine game of Nil 😂😂

next you should see how earth moves and messages for future from vsauce

Twin Peaks was fun :) I wonder if using the international phonetic alphabet would help forming that phonetic palindrome poem?

MOAR! pls.

My step mom got me to watch twin peaks and it was a good show but the cliff hanger at the end annoyed her for like 30 years until the the revival of the show came back though i havent seen the revival seasons of it.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

I agree with you about Wish You Were Here. Animals trumps them both though

"Bob, I want all my garmonbozia." I had forgotten that. No sleep tonight for me P.S. Subbed. You had me at "Wish You Were Here"

And sometimes a coincidence is simply not coincidental. Like the "repeating random playlist" can be not random at all for a reason. It may be manipulated for commercial reasons, which I can well imagine on streaming services. But even if only your PC is envolved, it may fail to create real randomness. Randomness is much harder to create than one would expect. The way a computer works is the total opposite of randomness. So to achive randomness it requires rather complicated algorithms which use changing outside data as factors in the calculation, like time, date, and other variables. I remember in the dark ages of PCs, the media player "WinAmp" had this "repeating randomness" problem. If you had a list of mp3s - no matter how many - plyed back with the random function, it would always play them in the same sequence. Even after starting with different tracks each time.

Damn! A Twin Peaks mention.... I thought I'd never hear about that show again... I kinda know who killed Laura.... 😂

Best Pink Floyd Album is ( In my opinion) A Momentary Lapse of Reason 😁

You need to read or watch the video about the two twins who were killed riding the exact same moped by the same taxi, driven by the same driver with the same passenger years apart.

NO, NO, NO! Who are you?! What have you done with our dear friend, you imposter! You don't fool me! I know you're not her because the signature knee is missing! Oh the humanity! Oh the uncanny valley!

Did anyone else notice, that for a portion of the video, in the middle, the sign/picture on the wall behind him is upside down? Coincidence? ;)

9:50 It was stoners/psychheads. Pretty sure we’ve known that one for a looong time 😂

I think I agree about the two Pink Floyd LPs you mentioned. But I thought "Dark Side of the Moon" was WAY better recorded and engineered.

YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS A STRETCH PROBABLY INSPIRED BY THE POWER ELITE.

This was cool. For me, a weird one is the Birthday Paradox. Really weird. But math makes it so. Also, the odds of you shuffling a deck of cards in that order for the first time in the history of people, is actually pretty high. 1x2x3 and so on to 52 and the number you get is really, really big. Also, you so pretty :p K bai!

So putting googly eyes on random stuff does have a scientific purpose =P

Rock of ages does the reverse lyrics thing and it's and diss towards Russia during the crisis back then

I think a bit of DMT had a lot to with Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz thing.

I'll give you a couple more coincidences. Dennis the Menace. A version was created each side of the atlantic by different people on the same day, long before the internet. The same is the only thing that's the same however, but it is an astronomical coincidence. Another one is Q33NY. If you don't already know it paste it into word and change the format in wingdings. It apparently predicted 9/11 and it is claimed that it was a flight number of one of the planes. In reality, somebody was messing around with the font and changed the facts to fit the conclusion and Q33NY never had anything to do with any of the events that day.

I did the wizard of oz pink Floyd thing on LSD and it was so fuckin fun lol. Even under the influence i could tell it was coincidence though

No Protocol watching Vsauce.....there's an instant click.

if you take two variables in meteorological sense (temperature and pressure or humidity or windspeed et cetera), there is always another place on earth than your own, with the exact same combination.

Live is just a random series of coincidences but what if there is something out there having a laugh with us. It is highly unlikely but it could be happening.

not so much a literary recommendation, but the movie Magnolia is a masterpiece focussed on coincidences
