Iā€™m very grateful to mathematician Hugh Woodin, Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics at Harvard, for taking the time on multiple occasions to discuss this topic with me and help me wrap my (finite) head around it.

Iā€™m also grateful to David Eisenbud, the Director of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, for his help and for connecting me with Hugh Woodin.

And of course, big thanks to Brady Haran who created the ā€œmile of piā€ seen in this video and connected me with all these mathematicians in the first place. His channel, Numberphile, is superb: youtube.com/user/numberphile

The seemingly random "post credits" scene was incredible. "Omega + one" indicates a number that is in order after the "last" of the natural numbers. Having that bit play AFTER the "end" of the video was absolutely genius and wonderfully creative.

21:00 and this is why i absolutely love and adore mathematicians they're just like me "oh this is absurd that makes no sense but yknow what let's keep going anyway let's see how far we can go"

Important note about the continuum hypothesis (CH): It's not just that it's unsolved, it's actually unsolvable. CH has been shown to be logically independent from the ZFC axioms of set theory - that is, you can show that CH is not a theorem of ZFC and that the negation of CH is also not a theorem of ZFC. This is ultimately a consequence of incompleteness - any set of axioms and system of proofs must contain propositions which are neither provable or disprovable

Man, for some reason no matter how hard I try, I cant bring myself to stop watching. I ask myself, "When will i ever use this knowledge?" and my answer is never. But still its so entertaining to watch numbers over numbers of complexity and pretend i comepletely understand and I believe I understand too just because of his amazing teaching. Well Vsauce, you just gained another VERY big fan and subscriber. I got notifications going.

we had dimensions in objects (e.g. 2D, 3D), and the way vsauce described infinities, i think we also found them number dimensions
