12 Episode Anime Review- Kampfer

Instead of scheduled blog post, the studio will present you another part of our new series, 12 episode anime review.

Hello and welcome to 12 Episode Anime Review, A 12 part series where we look at 12 episode anime!

Today, we have a delightful series called Kampfer!

Kampfer is about a group of girl fighters who gains a male member (as a female) and they have fun.

And that's about it. I mean I watched this about a year ago and that's what I remember.

My biggest pet peeve in the series is the love triangle. I mean if you find out your crush was a lesbian, you make up your mind and get a another women, because well there's people waiting! I mean, girl likes you as a women anyway, so why not just go out as a women? Jeez!

Anyway, I like the abridge series better, let's just say at that.

Thank you for reading my haphazardly written review and I'll see you on Tuesday!

Year in Review: Charlie and Alex Day

Sorry for missing yesterday and hopelessly filling with uncommitted series.

But let's get started on the review!

My Top 5 video from Charlie in 2012

5. Time to Reply- One of very few song made me cry on the first hearing. It was genuine, yet dreamy like those candies that grandma gives you when come for Christmas. Enigmatic too, like where did the idea come from and why did he decided to write out as a song? Anyway, it's beautiful and I listen to it from time to time.

4. Charlie with Hank!- Charlie's mid-life crisis has everyone discuss everything: 'Is his YouTube rules stupid? ', 'Where could I bu that calendar?' and 'Will Hank finish the Portal with Charlie?' But to me, I picked the video where Charlie talks with Hank, because it reminds me that Hank has become Galileo of YouTube. (As in, famous YouTubers come and discuss their philosophy with him when they have a crisis.) Does that mean his middle finger is going to preserved forever? Maybe not.

3. Super Survey- Just because it introduced many people to the World of Ciaran O'Brien. He is an amazing guy.

2. The Other Charlie- Clever, nice and Very Charlie. Enjoyed it very much.

1. I'm Scared- Not everyone can make a big discussion in YouTube, and get something from it. But Charlie did it twice in one year. This video in black and white is not only well put but also thought-provoking as to a person who'll never thought making videos will get him so much attention. But now, everyone single video does. Gonna admire this guy.

NOW for Alex and HIS videos of 2012.

5- Record Label are Rubbish: After Alex Day had a smash hit in Forever Yours, three companies decided to bring him in. He rejected all of them. I don't know, he's being excessively pompous or just has a strong hope for YouTube but... that's Alex Day for you. (Also recommend: Hitler and Sex by John Green for his take on old media.)

4- Nicki Minaj lyric dissected- Just watch it for the brillance of Alex Day. (Warning: NSFW)

3- The storyboard for Good Morning Sunshine: Best storyboard ever.

2- Why does Olympics matter?- (Turns on TV) (watches a girl doing a nerdfighter sign in international television.) (looks at phone) (sees the same girl on your twitter feed) (ask the girl to see her) YouTube magic.

1- The summer songs: On infinite loop as we speak.

(Note: does anyone realize Good Morning Sunshine sounds like a State Farm jingle?
Alex Day: "Good morning sunshine, I hope that you're well"
State Farm: "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there"
Don't tell me they have different melodies, because they totally do.)

Thank you for another hastily made blog post by David Kim. Thank you.

12 Episode Anime Review- Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Welcome to a 12 part series where I look at 12 episode anime! (That I'll probably won't finish!)
But seriously, I already have 2 review written and I'll probably publish those later this week.
But first! Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Ode to Madoka
by David Kim

Have you heard the story of Madoka,
The last member of the Pandora's box?
She went in the way of the man, Ashoka;
That voice that make men drop rocks.

She was some ordinary girl
Till at the very last moment,
When after some twirl and a whirl
Made a wish so potent.

Ah yes, don't forget Sashya and Homura
Without her, whom it wouldn't be possible
And that girl who like to eat tempura
Yes, Kyoko and Mami, the sensible.

Those who live as liches,
Fighting for all our sorrows
Inviting us to their ditches,
Those who wait for no tomorrow.

A magical girl, one say
A weasel-like creature.
For any girl can try and may
Make a wish with any feature;

For that wish, they will fight,
But like any fruit that's not eaten,
They'll find that what's been right
Had let themselves heathen.

Once gems turn into seeds,
Letting friends be enemies,
And when you done your deed
You'll move on, brought to your knees.

What a horrible destiny,
Letting girls be a breeze
To a windmill, in ignominy
Trying to stop the big freeze.

But Madoka intrude
leaving others with misama,
Like the story of Gertrude
That turns into Classical Drama!

I don't know too much.
In truth, no one knows it all.
They were only two that clutch
Her essence after Time stall.

Magician Madoka, Slave to the Deceiver
How did you buy your way out?
How do I, lowly receiver
Get to your way about?

But I still tell the Madoka's story
Who I heard from a young mime
Who he heard from Rory
And so forth, till the beginning of Time.

Winter 2012 update

For this year, I'm reviewing vlogger's journey into 2012!
We'll recap what the vlogger has put themselves on YouTube for 2012 including...
Wed. Dec 26th- Wheezywaiter (with update on Wed. Jan 2nd)
Thu. Dec 27th- Alex & Charlie
Fri. Dec 28th- SourceFed (Comment Commentary)
Tue. Jan 1st- Vlogbrothers

So come and take a look at what I thought their lives in 2012 and what to say about 2013.
(End update.)

Let's put up something...

" It seems like you're in your own little world and not concerned about the outside world."

I am. It's pretty good world, consisting of few good ideas and fantasy. I want you come see what I created. It's an invitation. Sure, you might reject, but I assure you there's no harm. As for the outside world...

It's hard to be outside when your door leads you to a black hole. Think of it this way. It's good being outside sometimes but when your door is all messed up, you have to keep things in. You don't know what's going on outside. I'm in a bubble.

Do I want to be in a bubble? No. You like your house, but if your world consisted of your house, you'll hate it. It's like grounded. I'm mentally grounded. No outside contact, no communication. Just lock in the room, trying desperately to get out.

So, please come. I'll be Galileo and you'll be Hobbes or Newton or some other people who went to Galileo.
Because my little world could beneficial to you. Beneficial for the whole society. But you have to come.

2012 Fall update

Hello.

I'll try to post stuff here more frequently.

I hope to do a Vlogbrother review and Channel review here... soon.

Other than that, Check out my other blogs

Main Blog for big projects
Korean Blog for Korean stuff

Thank and as an apology, here's me shaving.

It ain't easy being green...

(I'm sure someone done this before...)
It's not that easy being Green
Having to spend each day editing a video
When I think it could be nicer being Brown, Violet, or Grey
Or something much more wonderful like that

It's not that easy being green
But seems I blend with so many other ordinary things
And people seem to pass you over
Cause you're not standing out like boobs on the thumbnail
Or Stars on TV

But Green's color of spring
And Green can be cool and friendly-like
And Green can be big like giant pizza
Or important like running a show
Or tall like a tree

When Green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder
I'm Green
And it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it is what I want to be.

I'm reading Jane Eyre...

Today Chapter 25 and 26...

Chapter 25- story about a ghost or something...
Passage: 'Ghost are usually pale, Jane.'
     'This, sir, was purple: the lips were swelled and dark; the brow furrowed: the black eyebrows widely raised over the bloodshot eyes. Shall I tell you of what it remind me?'
     'You may.'
     'Of the foul German spectre-- the Vampyre.'

So Vampires are mentioned on Jane Eyre... interesting.

Chapter 26- Fascinating Chapter about Mr. Rochester having a wife who is still living...
Passage: 'No, by God! I took care that none should hear of it--or of her under that name.' He mused--for ten minutes he held counsel with himself: he formed his resolve and announced it.
     'Enough! All shall bolt out at once, like the bullet from the barrel. Wood, close your book and take off your surplice; John Green (to the clerk), leave the church: there will be no wedding today.' The man obeyed.

What? John Green is this novel? Someone should have tell me this! Why?

My WMG: Charlotte Bronte was visited by a nerdfighter who was there to capture some evil babies. After telling that her book is too short and she needs something to write more about Jane Eyre. The nerdfighter gives an idea to further the story by Mr. Rochester having an another wife and gratified, Jane Eyre says to mention the person's name in the scene. The nerdfighter, feeling humble, said 'John Green is my name' referencing the author and left to capture and raise more evil babies. 

Not for John and Hank: Cover!

I always intended this blog to expand beyond the vlogbrothers and this time feels like the best time to do it. So I start going back through old Charlie&Alex albums and found that lot of the song that are known for was cover of a older band. So I decided to listen to the old and see how the Charlie&Alex (and others) fare with the greats. Also it gives the fresh perspective as I only heard the Charlie&Alex Version and not the original.

#1: Lady Godiva- Peter&Gordon later covered by Alex Day.

The remix: The song is quite showy and over-the-top but with the storyline, I think Alex felt it need to be exposed. (See what I did there?)

Background: Peter and Gordon was a 60's hit group who got songs from McCarthy. They seems to have that 60's charm that every British idol had back then. I feel surprised how they sang this...

First Impression: I love how Broadway but with a sense of farm in there as well. They sound intellectual with saying Certificate X, not sarcastic like Alex.

Verdict: Peter&Gordon had more charm and wit. Old wins.
(Sidenote: The original peak at no. 16. Alex beat the originals...)

#2 This Kiss- Faith Hill later covered by Alex Day & Carrie Hope Fletcher

The remix: The duo grate each other sometimes but the chemistry is there with the pace. Superb work, seeing how many people seemed to know it.

Background: Faith Hill might be one of the most accomplished country singers in recent history, along her husband Gavin McGraw. This is one of her best-known songs, so here we go...

First Impression: To me, Country is like root beer. I drink it, but I have a dislike for the stuff. Too 'groundy'. So the original doesn't hit hard as ones with Country love, but I felt that the music sometimes overrides the singing and the words felt dropped rather than relished.

Verdict: Sorry,but Alex&Carrie was little bit fresher in my taste. New wins.

#3: Here Comes My Baby- Cat Stevens later covered by Sons of Admirals

The remix: As the four never really worked on group work, I'll give little more credit to their singing, but I felt it was little bit too pop-ish at some point?

Background: Cat Stevens, or Yusuf if you know it that way, is a phenomenal singer who over the decades never lost a beat. (Except for conversion, of course...) Known for his mellow style but this song is all before that. But still...

First Impression:  I can see homage with the glockenspiel... Anyway, it's different isn't it? I feel Cat was more reminiscing than pleading of Sons of Admirals. He knows it's past and it's over and he could dream about it but back to reality. Sons were like 'I have a chance, just come to me!' type of feel to the song.

Verdict: It was hard to figure out but the line 'And it comes as no surprise as me' made the decision. To Cat, it's like "I knew it! You are always such a rascal." He was talking about how he felt to her but now has no feeling to her. To Sons, the line felt like whining almost lamenting at most. I felt that they should step it up and be a man. Tell her! Or Something. So on that note, I felt the sounds and the lyric fit Cat more than Sons can adopt to. Old wins.

So seems like, the old win that one. But not to fear, they were expecting that and surprised that they ever got a win. In fact, this shows how musically intellectual they are and paved the way for new generation to listen to. So with that, the blog continues...

Stop the Nerdfighters! (Parody)

Well, I found some incriminating news of latest reach in the demonic possession of Nerdfighters. Somehow this bizarre Internet cult have take one of fine British Athletes and made her do this incriminating gang sign in the face of this world.

Readers, this bizarre cult has been around the medias, spawning in the BAFTA, British's Got Talent, Fox News, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and now the Olympics.

This Abomination must be stopped. They take out their flesh and blood and turn into aw-e-so-me, which  might have links to hallucinatory drugs. This intellectual loners bury their time watching for symbols in Harry Potter and Star Trek, known for their demonic affiliations.

Along with a gang sign, they have a weird dance ritual, which shows the individual's faith in the cult leaders. They also wear red demonic shirts depicting their cult leader and a strange acronym, PIZZA. Our team of researchers have yet to find a meaning for this phrase, but is assumed to ancient demonic incantation.

They are also known shout this phrase DFTBA as their farewell statement which is purported to mean "Don't For-get to be Aw-e-so-me" which seems to refer to the conversion of flesh and blood to a-we-so-me.

If we're to found these hideous men/women, be prepared to shout Unicorn, their sworn enemy, or say that we're part of Transformer known as the Decepticon. Be sure to be ignorant of such demonic influences, like science, Young Adult literature, or YouTube as these are key gateway to becoming mindless Nerdfighters.

Stay safe. This monsters might be everywhere, hidden in plain sight. Be wary of your friends and family as they might be infected to the horrendous cult of Nerdfighters!

EDIT: We have found that the Nerdfighter gang sign comes from tombs of Jewish Rabbis. Is this lead our theory of Nerdfighter as a Jewish conspiracy threatening to take over the media to a new level? More stories  as we develop.

To the nerds

Who is a nerd? Could be a taunt, could be a deep, hidden question. Why we want to know who is a nerd? Is he a nerd? Is she a nerd? Same thing with gay; we just want to classify the person's identity. It's hardwired to our brains, it's what the brain is there to do (according to some studies that suggest our social behavior contributed to the growth of the brain). But why nerd? Why gay? Buchanan had a gay interest but they didn't care. They probably didn't think that gay affected their sexuality. They just kept it non-announced. They accepted the idea of the 'gay' and not made it a thing. They accepted as those thing were 'wrong' but people do anyway, like drinking or smoking. But back to the main point. Nerd seemed to grow a defense mechanism to deter newcomers, stemming from the fact that it might destroy the Nerd community. That it might taint or disrupt the purity that is the Nerd kingdom. In fact, this look like it stems from the ideas that they embrace. The underdog under constant auspicion of attacks, but beating the fear they embrace and taking a new world order for the better. But as the 'nerd' things have gone mainstream, they fear that they lost the disadvantage of being the minority. Nerd had become America. Or anyone else, in fact. I was going to say that Nerd is a modernist culture -- wants order, wants to progress -- but the postmodern idea made that pure thing tainted and mixed into to nothingness. Hipster might be a response to that. But no. This is something more fundamental. People always had the idea that they are the minority and that everyone else is there to attack us. It's something that's in us biologically; oxytocin gives sense of familiarity to those that are close to us but to the others, not so much. In fact, it's the opposite. This might have stemmed from the fact that in the early days people were isolated and constantly filled with dangers and other people, other than people close to you, were threats. They steal things. It's basically the breaking point. Our ideals and our desires are not working concurrently. What we desire is what it fuels the world, but our ideal contradict and even condemn our desires. Idea of repression seems harrowing to us, but sense of mindless violence is also frightening. What do we do? We, Nerds, can fix this. We're the rational ones, right? We can overcome our desire and... what make us Human? Is it our faults? Is it our irrational love of something on a paper. That never should affect our ways our life? We're at the crossroads. There's multiple ways. We have learned enough. But how do we use them? Will we ever move on? Thanks for reading.

Why Hitler?

John's latest video and continuing to talk about the Evil Baby Orphanage made me think about Hitler. Why Hitler? Why make a law for him denoting that after sometime that have to put him up as absolute evil? Why is he the No. 1 worst man in history, while what he done pales comparison to others? Why not Genghis Khan or Stalin or even Bin Laden? Why Hitler? Is it because of the propaganda? All of History Channel and Allied posters made him what he is? Or was it because he was the last baddie? We'll never have a mean person like him as our perception of the baddie has changed. Why did it change? Well, first of all, complex diplomatic affairs ,but there's more to that. Is because of what he did? Maybe. He did kill most people because of ideology, and subject of the genocide live quite close to us. But what really make him appalling is not just the action. But how he was just an abused boy who liked painting and they rejected him and he got angry and wanted to start a revolution in a beer pub but miserably failed and his book of rambling made best seller for no reason and now he controls Germany. There's something humane about how he came up to be bad. It wasn't just blown up version of what we did for centuries but something coming from our brains. Jew killing was just said by other people, and he just became a deranged puppet. There's something we can relate to, that we could be bad as them and nothing really to stop us from that. Best villains are not card carrying ones, but one that we relate to going mad. One who took a slightly different -- and deadly -- path. That realism is what make us scared. That they are one of us. Just with a different motivation. As we know about Osama, I think we could relate to this man more and be more thoughtful how he became bad. Just like Hitler. It's about becoming bad, not being bad that horrify us. Thank you.

vidcon (repost)

So, I'm taking a trip to Montana this summer and I was thinking about Montana and its great city of Missoula  and the city's greatest resident, Hank Green. (Okay, I may be inflating him a bit but let me get to that.) And I'm also thinking about the Hank Green's contribution, VidCon and the vlogs that comes out from it. YouTube started as an aggregation site. It was a place to store the videos to link to their website. Then around 2007, with the success of lonelygirl15 and others, YouTube became a site for stand alone video. Videos for YouTube, not just a easy way to access videos. So a YouTube community was formed and people started to mingle. First YouTube Gathering done by Mr. Safety, as example. Or Renetto meeting with that women whose name I can't remember. But the root of YouTube videos also had outside influnces, Rocketboom and Ze Frank gave to us a basis for video reporting and community-building that still reverberates today. (I still ship Ze and Amanda) What Hank Green did, with his brother John, was bringing it YouTube. Kind of perfect it, you know. John and Hank's Brotherhood 2.0 video made a community that will grow to be a web of great Youtubers with their own fanbase. It gave YouTube a message, with Project for Awesome and after Brotherhood 2.0 they continue to build, eventually with Vidcon. YouTube before Vidcon was at a breaking point. The community of YouTube was starting to fall apart and never to be recovered. Then Vidcon fixed that. Actually, it did better. It homogenized YouTube, bringing the like of Charlieissocoollike to like of ShayCarl, bridging the gap and discovering new YouTubers. Then second Vidcon happened. Fear of commercialization was on everyone's minds, but Vidcon utilized that.  It brought the corporate world  into a sense of being, part of rules they we created, not changing the rules to fit their means. YouTube began to plant its business model with the business of YouTube. Seeing Vidcon videos, I was reminded of how many people with different aspiration and interest came to have fun. Vidcon provided a corner to all of YouTube. The nerdy videoblogger who likes Young Adult novel and came equipped with only a iPhone could sing along with someone who just happened to have a guitar as the big YouTube star who needs help getting his/her merchandise start could interact with his/her fans and sell and spread the shirt and other stuff to make an income. It was a place for Nerds and Cool alike, for YouTuber who has been in YouTube since its inception and a person who just found that YouTube isn't just for cat videos and bad comments. That sense of harmony and affection won't be possible without Hank Green. He has not made the YouTube community, but kept it together. Made it stronger. That way, I revere Hank Green as I do Mark Zuckerberg as the triumph of social interaction, except Hank is not a jerk. I always said in my mind that Vlogbrothers was the spiritual center of YouTube, not like religiously, but they set up rule of moral and conduct to YouTube and condemn the fools that lurks around so much in YouTube. People look up to them, but they are humble and treats the follower as a friend. So I will go John Lennon and say 'Hank Green is Jesus of YouTube' (See, I told you I was going to inflate the person like crazy!)

BLURB!

One of Vlogbrothers fond tradition was Nerdfighters Blurbing book club, where people posted blurbs of the book selected and John will pick some out. Well blurb is interesting.The word 'Blurb' came from 1907 by a prominent San Francisco humorist Gellet Burgess. In 1906, he put a limited copy of his new story Are you a Bromide?  at a trade association dinner. Custom was to make dust jacket advertising the book and with picture of a damsel. In this book, the women was called Miss Belinda Blurb and... well, see it for yourself.

And so I suggest that for the next blurbing book club, we should have Miss Belinda blurb as our mascot. What do you think? 

Are some infinities are bigger than other infinities?

The quote of some infinities are bigger than other infinities have been "the quote" of The Fault in Our Stars. But there's no conflict whether it's true or not. Someone already prove that. And I'm going to show you right now.

What is a number? How do we use numbers? Well, there's three of apples and 10 trillion (and counting) of US's debts in the units of dollars, so I guess we are talking about a set of stuff. So numbers will help you define a set of stuff. What about set of numbers. How many natural numbers are there? Well there's one, two, three and we could add one forever and ever... And so we give up and call that set infinite. How about integers? Well that's like natural number plus the negative numbers (and zero, don't forget the zero) so that's infinite. In fact, since every natural number has its negative number, it'll be doubly infinite. So the title question above, proved. Well, not exactly. Why do you say something is bigger? How do we know there's more stuff in one set then in an another set? We line them up and see which occupy more space. One that occupy more space are bigger set compared to the other set. So let's line those numbers up. 1,2,3... and below that 0,1, -1... Well, looks like they're going to infinity, since we can't get there, let's say they're exactly same amount... and... yeah. How about the rational numbers? Well, rational number  is just ratio of two integers so it's like line of integers multiplied by a line of integers so it's like a square, and you can't fill a square with a line. What about space filling 'curves'? Oh, yeah. I forget that. So set of rational numbers are also equal amount as the natural numbers. And now the big question. How about real numbers? Oh god man, there's like infinite one between every rational number, and the actual number go off to infinity, man. I don't know what to. Well can you just list off anyway? With what? I don't know. Keysmash! Okay.

Wait, I see something. Let's do this, make a number which the first digit is not the same as the first digit corresponded by the first natural number. Then make its second digit not be same as the second digit of second   corresponding number, and so on and so forth...
Ok. 492725381.90385309275187897420195890175934875147710928759014781247809784093759...
So what's that have to d... Where does this number fit in? I don't know man, the number goes to infinite so I guess it'll come up somewhere. Where exactly? I don't know, a millionth? A billionth? What about that millionth  digit or the billion digit? Does that have to be different from millionth number in the second column or the billionth? Well, that's true and the number goes off the infinity and the first list goes off to infinity so... oh. If you have set of boxes and set of apple and you put an apple per box and have apple left over, is the set of boxes bigger of set of apples? Of course,the apples... does that mean set of real numbers is bigger than set of natural numbers? Yes. And there you have it. The concrete proof that some infinities are bigger then other infinities. In fact by using this formula we can class of infinity all with different set value. We call these transfinite numbers and we could treat them as numbers beyond numbers and there is a number of set of all infinities. It's called omega and you could argue that is the biggest number ever imaginable, unless there's other omegas then watch as progression of infinity break the bounds of reality and you agonize in pain  for just thinking it. So omega is the biggest number. So use that to your biggest advantage. 'infinite times!' 'infinite + 1 times!' 'No, that's still infinity.' 'How about omega time?' 'Darn.' Actually Georg Canter, who found all of this said that omega is like a god, and so using it in that way is taking god's name in vain, wouldn't it? Anyway, that's why I don't believe in a god. And good night!

Paula Deen and No Edge

First off, quick fact. This picture of Paula Deen riding John Green is not the first time. When John Green's book Paper Towns peaked in NYT bestseller list at #3, Paula Deen's cookbook was one of the two books that were top of John Green's book. So there.

Now on to the main topic: NO EDGE. To talk about the edge of the universe, you have to talk about the shape of the universe. Now best way to illustrate this is through an analogy with a rubber sheet. At one time, our rubber sheet was a clumped ball, consisted of everything that was there. Mass, time, space... everthing was there in that tiny dot. But then that dot slowly grew until a great force within spread the universe like a big kablooey. Thus came the two terms of this event, the big bang and the horrendous space kablooey. Now that great force had a effect like a sharp tug, as you know flattens the things you tugged. So the light shone in empty space will not come back to you but come out in a straight line, unless there's stuff, where gravity curves the space-time. Since the curve is unnatural, curves want to meet together so to become a overall flatter shape.

Now I may lost you in explaining how gravity works, but here comes the deal. The battle between the 'tug' or expansion and gravity is what determines the shape, gravity wants to curve so much as to disappear, you have a big crunch where we start to collapse back on itself and space-time goes haywire. Maybe 'tug' or let's call them what they really is, dark energy, tugs too much and starts to rip as the fabric can't take it anymore and we experience what is like a 10th Doctor's regeneration only with everything and we don't end up becoming a swanky British man with a bow-tie and sometime a fez. That's called a Big Rip. Maybe gravity will win slightly win curve to a sphere-like shape where time and space might repeat itself forever,like a big bounce, or maybe dark energy will win slightly and will spread forever resulting in heat death or a big freeze. Big bounce is actually a term when there's fluctuation between gravity and dark energy and we go back from big bang to big crunch repeatedly in a different fashion. (so this is like a Doctor's regeneration) Now in a big crunch or a big bounce or maybe a big freeze, a universe curve back to itself, therefore effectively having a no edge like a surface of a sphere, where you could go in any direction and come back to point you just started. But if it's otherwise and universe is really a flat surface or a hyperbolic saddle shaped there might be an edge if the universe we see is finite and it is so... (live. I mean universe which we live, not see. There's a difference in that.) Anyway, in conclusion, we don't know if there's an edge of the universe or not. Sorry.

[Actually universe might even ALL EDGE. As in we're just a holographic projection of a 2-d world.]

Left or right?

Short one. All YouTube-r have confusion about what is left and right. That's a problem because there's no way to distinguish left and right fundamentally. Let's say you contacted some aliens who want to learn your language. Okay, fair enough, but as you go down the dictionary, you realize you can't explain many things by your phone alone. Including what is left and right. You remember the hard times in which when you're sending directions to your lost cousin and slowly turning into mad pout of ink of squid that is angry because you say left and they went right and you said my right and not your right and you realize left and right is meaningless without a reference frame. In fact most things in physics and mathematics depend on reference frames. That's why Einstein got his relativity and Gauss got his theorems. You realize that without reference frames, that is with a extra-terrestrial planet, you can't explain many thing that you take for granted. Perspectives change everything, not just socially but physically as well.

How map is like a pizza

Hello and welcome to facts for Hank & John (I just used that to say that the two can be interchangeable) where I put some research after watching their video.
I saw a video about how all map are distorted in some way and so are ideas... well that idea have to do with eating pizza. Seriously.


The theorem that shows the inevitable failures of cartography was derived by Carl Frederick Gauss, a remarkable mathematician. And the theorem is also remarkable in that it's called a remarkable theorem. Or in Latin, Theorema Egregium. Now the theorem says that the curvature, which measures how curvy the surface is like flat surface has none and sphere have positive ones and saddles have a negative ones, doesn't matter how hard you twist and bend them. Now there's some leeway here and there but what it means that you can't put a surface of a sphere into a flat space without distortion.  That's comes out of basic Gaussian geometry. 


Now a pizza is a flat surface. It means it has no curvature. When you bend your slice of pizza horizontally along the radius, some plane (or the a slice of that slice) will start have some curvature and as all these curvature had to cancel out, the pizza will become rigid in direction in the perpendicular to the fold which is perfect for eating. That's why cardboard boxes have weird squiggly paper inside two flat pieces. The form becomes rigid.


That's all for my fact maybe I'll write more. Goodbye!
