Newton was right about the force relationships that gravity creates; he just didn't know any of the deeper spacetime processes going on in the creation of that force or how those might create complications at extreme distances or speeds.

Even in a much lower and mundane gravity field, the atomic clocks in GPS satellites (in low Earth orbit) need to be corrected due to them being under a slightly weaker gravitational field compared to their counterparts in Earth.

The other way to find a large difference is to go near something much heavier than Earth.

At 6:15 when you say "12 over 1" and write that as a fraction, that's actually not how the formula works. It's actually the combination function, "12 choose 1", or how many ways you can choose 1 object out of twelve, which just happens to also equal 12. It actually has nothing to do with fractions at all, it's just notation to write the numbers on top of each other like that.

@@brendaneichler5244 Or thee, depending on case. Well, in modern spelling, at least. Back in ye olde days (actually, before "y"e old days, really), it was spelled with the letter thorn (which only survives today in the Icelandic alphabet). In handwriting, that eventually was written badly enough to come close to the Y form; however, more importantly, it didn't exist in print types imported from the continent, so in various works, it was replaced with the relatively unused Y type (which did exist in German and Dutch alphabets). It also was being replaced by the now common "th", so the Y thing didn't last. Finally, English discarded the singular second person pronoun, replacing it with the (already used in that way) deferential plural form (a differentiation we still keep over here in German, but now using the third instead of second person plural - to be deferential but not quite as deferential - it's complicated, like anything German). The old singular started to fade from active use/common knowledge (even to the point that people start making up new plurals) and archaic spelling/typesetting took on its own life. In this use, however, Y never was a (modern English spelling) "y" type of sound.

For the people curious regarding Newton's explanation and why it was wrong: "Although Newton correctly calculated the odds of each bet, he provided a separate intuitive explanation to Pepys. He imagined that B and C toss their dice in groups of six, and said that A was most favorable because it required a 6 in only one toss, while B and C required a 6 in each of their tosses. This explanation assumes that a group does not produce more than one 6, so it does not actually correspond to the original problem." (from Wikipedia).

Did he really find the marker? Is the marker right there in his palm? And what do that mean? Does it have to exist between the confines of his grasp for him to be sure that he found it? What if the marker is a reflection of the real one so our eyes tricked us to think that he really does have it? Well you might argue that he senses its presence its touch but we don't know that. He may have been just pretending to have it while some kind of cgi special effects that edited the marker in there. He may have /found/ the marker but did it really happen? Only because it was video taped then it must be true right? Than I would bet that Thanos is as real as Uranus is a gas mess. And furthermore, did the past really happen? Where does the past exist? George Orwell in his immortal classic "1984" called that exact same question into trial setting place in the dystopian future of 1949 (the year the book have been released). He argued that the past exists in two places and two places only, human memory and records made by humans. A fascist government can easily alter the former, but surely they can't alter human memory? Well, human memory is as mortal as the ones who wields, and such a weakness can easily be spoiled to wipe it out. As it had been shown to us by our total obleviance about the daily routine and religious life of our early ancestors. Maybe it can't be altered but it can be easily wiped and refilled. Furtunatly our future was far from what George foretold, at least as far as we can tell. And a large part of our history as we tell at subjectively correct.

As you yourself showed in the episode about vitamin c and scurvy, I believe it does in fact matter to know how and why something works the way it does... at least sometimes. Who knows if or when the maths behind this problem could be useful? Nevertheless, everyone's contribution to science is more than welcome and can be the ground for further discussion. So... thanks for letting us watch!

This reminds me of a physics test I held in university. There was one question to determine what distance will an object travel after some seconds, or something like that. I used the x = x0 + v0t + a(t^2)/2 formula and got something like 34 m. But the test didn't have 34 as an answer, it had 34.2, so that's what I picked. And later on I was trying to find my mistake. Then I used the m(v^2)/2 + mgh = const and I did get 34.2m. It's been several years since that happened, so it may have been the other way around. But I did get the correct answer, using the 'wrong' method. Granted it would've been wrong, if it was an open answer, rather than an a/b/c/d option.

I once was in physics class, we were doing extra points problems. We had a trick question about speed. So long story short the correct process was using twice the distance. I used half the time.

It is certainly true that he held some strange theological views, but arguably, from an objective standpoint, they were no stranger than the orthodox views of the time.

​@@user-ox3ov2qt5o Transmutation (making precious metals like gold and silver from base metals like lead and mercury) was an ultimate goal of alchemy, related to other ultimate goals like creating the philosopher's stone (an object capable of transmutation to gold or silver on contact), the alkahest (a "universal solvent" capable of dissolving all substances, or at least all substances not elementally pure), and the panacaea (a cure for all ailments). But there was more to alchemy than just those end goals. Chemistry as a discipline did not exist in the 17th century, so all progress in the field had been made (and was being made) by alchemists, like Paracelsus, Robert Boyle, and Johann Joachim Becher . Newton's ideas in the field were somewhat influential due to the status of his name but not useful or correct, which is why they are not remembered. So he was still wrong about that stuff. But the problem isn't that alchemy itself was pseudoscience. It was _based_ in false, unscientific ideas, but then again, so was Newton's physics. The actual experiments alchemists conducted and laws they formulated were pretty scientific for the time; indeed, more so than Newton's law of gravity (which could only be mathematically confirmed to any precision for celestial bodies, as objects on Earth experience too much drag from air, and timepieces at the time were not sufficiently accurate anyway).

Actually, the probability in at least x number of 6s in a rolled set is not simply 1-p. It's the number of successful answers divided by 6^n answers. I calculated it out and oddly enough atleast two 6s in a set of 12 dice is slightly more likely than options A or C. A and C are approximately 2% less likely than B. Its close enough that in practice they might as well be considered equal.

Amazing how you misuse Occam's razor but still get the right conclusion. It isn't about how simpler works more often but about not adding (multiplying) problems without a good reason.

(I'm paused at 2:07) An easy way to calculate the chance of something happening with a certain amount of attempts is to raise the chance of it _not_ happening to the power of the number of attempts, so for box A you could type (5/6)^6 into a calculator and see that you have a roughly 33.5% chance of _not_ getting a single 6 within 6 dice rolls, and the chance of getting a 6 in 6 dice rolls in 100% minus that chance, or 1-(5/6)^6 which is roughly 66.5% If you were to simply do the same for boxes B and C you would only have the chance of rolling a 6 from 12 or 18 dice. However, we need to also factor in the chances of not getting 2 or 3 6es so that's not enough. Let's say you're guaranteed to roll a 6 on one of the 12 dice in box B. The chance of you _not_ getting another 6 with the remaining dice would be (5/6)^11. If you then multiply the chance of getting a 6 once (1-(5/6)^12) by the chance of getting a second 6 (1-(5/6)^11) you'd get about 76.8% If you follow this process of box C your calculation would look like this (1-(5/6)^18)(1-(5/6)^17)(1-(5/6)^16) which equals approximately 86.9% More precise chances: A 0.665102023 B 0.768350298 C 0.869348767 So as you can see, you're much more likely to roll 3 6es from 18 dice than 1 6 from 6 dice

@LARAUJO_0

2 жыл бұрын

6:12 For some reason in Newton's calculation, he multiplies the chance of getting a second 6 in box B by 10 (12*5/6 = 60/6 = 10) and *subtracts* that from the chance of getting a single 6, making the chance of box B rolling 2 6es lower than A rolling 1, yet there's no explanation as to why he added that term and I'm extremely confused by it

@APaleDot

3 ай бұрын

The first term is the chance of rolling at least one 6. But the challenge is to roll two 6s. So, if you roll a single 6, you fail. The first term includes the possibility of rolling a single 6, so you have to subtract all those possible outcomes in order to get the probability of rolling at least two 6s.

Simplest answer I can come up with: The chance of rolling NOT EXACTLY the number of dice that you expect increases when you roll more dice. This means that on average dice will be higher and lower more frequently compared to the exact amount needed, meaning that there will be less equal to or higher then expected, since the amount of 'equal' shrinks twice as fast as the amount of 'higher' grows. In order to get this distribution, I visualised a p distribution and placed the chances of each happening within that distribution. Then I found out that some of the negative probability got mixed into the "equal" bracket.

My intuition was to break each problem into groups of 6 and then realize that while all 6 groups from the 3 trials had a 1/6 chance, the probability of more than one group failing to land their 6 at the same time as another, was a value greater than zero. This lowered the probability from the initial 1/6 to a lesser value as more rows of 6 are added.

I didn't find a clear explanation between all the "YE"s, where the difference in probability stems from. The 2 equations given seem not to have a relationship between them to show the difference. Here is, how I view it: PrB = PrA * PrA + 2 * (1-p)^6 * [1 - (1-p)^6 - (6/1)p*(1-p)^5] = PrA^2 + 2 * (5/6)^6 * [1-(5/6)^6-(5/6)^5] = (0.6651...)^2 + 2 * 0.08815... = 0.44236... + 0.1763... = 0.6187... or actually 0.6186... Or in words: The B-Case (getting at least two 6s from 12 dice) is like winning Case A two times in a row (which is less probable overall), but has the advantage (extra winning cases), that you can win by having more than one 6 in one CaseA (expression in [ ]), while having none in the other ( (1-6)^6 ; overall times 2, because the order of these A-Cases can be switched ). So these cases are added and are special to the case with 12 dice. It's still a number game, but I think it is easier to derive and understand this way, where the difference stems from.

it's basically an issue of whether the number of 6's required reduces the probability more or the number of dice available increases the probability more. simply put Newton was lucky even though he overlooked that there's another factor at play that buffers the effect of the number of 6's required.

It's simple. Don't aks questions that can be misunderstood and if you do, don't complain. I understood the question as rolling a 6 such that there is at least one combination adding up to 6, either roll a nat6 or 3+3, 2+4, 1+5, 1+1+2+4 etc. In my head the following questions meant the same but you can't use the same dice combination twice, for example rolling 1+1+2+4 and 1+5.

I don't think Isaac Newton mistook another problem for the original one, and confused the outcome of "groups of six" tosses with the original "number of sixes in 12 or 18 tosses". The difference between both cases is obvious and Newton, having spent so much time on a careful analysis of this puzzle and on calculations, would not make such an obvious error. I have read the "Isaac Newton as a Probabilist" paper by Stephen M. Stigler (available on arXiv) and the Wikipedia description of the Newton-Pepys problem. I think Newton wanted to provide another similar example to Pepys, as if he was saying "In answering your original question, it may be helpful to imagine a situation where B and C toss their dice in groups of six.". What may be incorrect is to draw a conclusion from that other hypothetical situation and use it directly for the original problem, but who knows what Newton had in his mind and imagination when he provided this other example. I don't think he considered both the original question and his alternative example as equivalent. As I understand, the issue brought up today is whether his alternative example was helpful at all in considering and analyzing the original problem.

It sometimes feels like Kevin doesn't have half a clue about what he is saying, as if he just remembered the text and actions needed to accompany the whole smartness

That’s like saying humans invented oxygen, or gravity. Man didn’t invent math anymore than foxes did.

I took a class with Stigler. He was a pretty chill professor. He is best known for Stigler’s Law of Eponymy which states “No scientific discovery is named for its original discoverer, including Stigler’s Law of Eponymy.”

A nice way of seeing it easily is noticing that for N sets of six dice this probability converges to 1/2 when N goes to infinity. This is clear, as the binomial distribution converge to a symmetrical normal distribution with an average of N, and the probability of getting _exactly_ N sixes becomes negligible. If the question would have asked what is the probability of getting _more_ than N sixes, it would have been the opposite since the behaviour at infinity would be the same, but clearly for N=1 the probability of getting at least 2 sixes is less than 1/2. The main effect relates to the observation that the probability of getting exactly N sixes reduces with N, and if you are including it or not in your answer breaks the apparent reasoning that would lead you to believe that the probability is not a function of N.

Out of curiosity I just put together a quick Python script to run this scenario a thousand times, and each time I get averages exactly like the video says! A gets about 66.5%, B about 61.7%, and C about 59.5% every time

One problem with this video, using decimals instead of fractions

So instead of squaring the probability of a six being rolled on each dice we square the probability of a six not being rolled and subtract that from one to get the chance of rolling a six. This is purely genius.

And as always... thanks for listening because these math videos are more like podcasts to me, played in the background while I work
