Minimal Surfaces-The Shapes That Help Us Understand Black Holes

Ғылым және технология

In this video I talk about minimal surfaces and how you can do your own experiment to prove if something is a minimal surface. I talk about why minimal surfaces are important in math and physics and show you some neat experiments to make several minimal surfaces at home

He stopped by my house on the way around and we had a few beers together and promise not to tell anyone but that night he strayed off course a little bit and made his minimal walk a bit maximal walk as he staggered around. We laughed and we laughed and said our good byes and in his final slurring breath as he walked on he asked me to promise not to tell anyone. Sadly I was drunk also and never remembered him asking me this until about five minutes after I finished posting this. Win some you lose some I guess but such is life.

    8:30 specifically, the MEAN curvature at each point is 0. Specifically, a minimal surface is just a solution to the minimal surface equations (in R3). This doesn’t mean the the “second derivative of a curve on the surface is always 0” (that would mean the surface is always a plane), it means that the mean of the principle curvatures at each point is 0. This is a concept in differential geometry.

Perhaps it is a random fluctuation or the two parallel walls were a bit closer to each other? Looks like the square could form in any other orientation in the cube. Perhaps it is the direction the cube was submerged and lifted from the soapy water?

    "nature always does the calculations perfectly" well, considering math was invented to describe nature, that is inherently true

  • @vsm1456

    @vsm1456

    3 жыл бұрын

    Not really true. 1) Maths evolved beyond its initial goal of describing nature and is now a pure abstract thing of its own. The disciplines that describe nature are now called natural science. Its relation with maths is that it uses some parts of maths as tools, but maths itself is not a part of natural science (just like a technician that comes to your house to fix things is not a part of your house or your family - you use their expertise but you don't own them). 2) Most mathematical objects can't exist in real life in a "perfect" way, because natural objects are bound by our universe's limitations while maths objects can be whatever we want. Nature doesn't calculate anything, it just exists by its own rules and it doesn't match maths 1:1. For example, the soap film has width and local imperfections because of air currents, shock waves going across the film, etc. while mathematical minimal surface has none of those, it's truly perfect.

    Thank you so much. I had a really hard time understanding a minimal surface, but the example with the can, the wireframe and the soap bubble made that clear. I did not see how you could minimize the surface of the can. Blew my mind to see that the soap bubble in the wirefreme bends inwards, thus decreasing the surface. I know I sound not particulary smart, but that was beautiful to see.
