Numberphile

[Illgresi]

I'm studying to be an Engineer, so some things I find particularly interesting; namely maths and numbers. Given this is a computer forum at heart, I thought quite a few people would share this view. I really enjoy the numberphile Youtube channel and wondered if anyone else did? Also, potentially might make some people aware of it, and channels like it, who may be interested.

Anyway, I thought this particular video might be of interest specifically to this community:

Also, this is one of my favourites (anything to do with infinity blows my mind):

Edit: Youtube links didn't work!

On a related note I find Pi fascinating. We think it is likely to be infinite without repeating patterns then it may contain every possible combination of numbers. So at some point in Pi there may be enough information to describe our universe. Therefore our own universe may be simply a manifestation of someone elses Pi.

Wait... what have I been smoking????

You need to watch this...

I know where you're coming from, but academic subjects just aren't for everyone. It took me til my late 20s to go to university. Mainly because I was bone idle at school. However, the option should definitely be there for younger kids to learn more advanced subjects if they are capable.
