1. Thanks to everyone who voted on this video topic in the community tab! For those whose vote didn't win I will try to get everything that I can (priority will be on 'mathematics of astronomy/astrophysics' though). Enjoy!

2. What about joe Biden receiving 154,000 votes in a row? How possible is that mathematically?

3. Ah yes the old trick of using string to find the most structurally effect and strongest arch for a building…. You talked about soil, mass damper and slosh tanks… You have made my day.

4. Can we take a moment to recognize that this guy has never clickbaited us

5. Regarding traffic jams (and you know, stop lights), watch the brake lights on the car in front of the car in front of you. Then you are reacting to their stimulus, and if everyone did this, it'd cut the effective reaction time.

6. 👨‍🎓🤍🗽great observation

7. Like psychological 😐🌪🤨👨‍🎓🤍🗽🛶

8. I have never felt the 'I like this' sentiment more strongly on clicking the like button as I did on this video

9. Can you do a video on quantum computing and what majors needed to get into the field?

10. I'm glad Jimmy Kimmel found another job.

11. Is there a frequency where a slosh tank would be counterproductive?

12. love seeing math and physics concepts applied to the real world. makes it more interesting!

13. The only thing maths and physics cant explain is why you dont have 1 million subscribers…

14. so if you serve night shift and colleague serves day shift and people die more in the night then you go to jail… nice injustice system.

15. An amazing and informative video like this has only 60,000views while a girl trying to put an anaconda in her ass has a million
    No hope for humanity, we are evolving backwards

16. Doesn't the bike turn to the left at the end?

17. I don't think I'm understanding this "shift" data. How long is a shift? Is it really the case that the average relevant employee (not sure who they are) spent 26 hours per week working?

18. it's interesting to see statisticians aid in prosecution, ultimately ending in a conviction based on a small sample size.

19. im glad you are using metric system. thank you

20. So all this I can apply this to real world situations

21. Actually, your traffic jam assumptions fail once the trailing edge meets an intersection.

22. So, given the optimum viewing distance for a statue is
    D = (Htop * Hbase)^{0.5), can I assume the optimal viewing distance for a building which has a height to the bottom of ZERO since most buildings aren't on platforms would NOT be the sqrt of 0….(height *0)^(.5) = (0)^(.5)? would the optimal distance simply be the sqrt of the buildings height ?

23. Pertaining to the slosh tank at 11:16, it has been determined that with a boat, when the period of a wave matches the oscillation of a boat, the boat capsizes. Wouldn't there be the same effect with a building where the swaying of the building matched the oscillating wind speeds?

24. MajorPrep, hello, can someone help me analyze something very old, and old math which i found in an old book, almost 1500 years old…i can provide you information.

25. "Physics"

26. Majoring in Engineering is tough, but it’s videos like yours that remind me of the fun in the science and math behind it.

27. hey majorprep, do you lift weights? following your channel for a while now, i think you put on some muscle mass!

28. This video is amazing! I absolutely LOVE seeing math and science applied to every day situations, or at least situations in general, I dunno how every day some of them are. But this love is the whole reason I got interested in engineering and physics. Thanks for taking the time to make this and the other videos on your channel which are just as amazing.

29. Curse you tree

30. i swear ive taken off no hands with front wheel sideways.. i think forward motion will overcome your angle

31. Since there are 7 billions people, you can't just conclude that person is a criminal if his/her odds to be innocent is 1/million. Because with threshold 1/million you'll put 7000 innocent people into jail. 1/trillion sounds as about right threshold.

32. That's clearly a 5 rubble coin. Are you Russian?

33. Math and physics? Physics is applied maths. As we know as physics is just the application of math to the physical fenomenoms

34. i know this voice…

35. The case for Kristen Gilbert is very interesting. My student and I calculate the probability of 40 deaths in Gilbert's 257 shifts, the probability is 7 in a billion. So yes, those deaths most likely don't happen randomly. This is cool. We need more real world applications of maths and physics in textbooks exercises.

36. Great videos bro very fun to watch

37. I've seen two of your videos. Both do Bayes theorem

38. Um, your discussion on optimal viewing of a statue is plain wrong.

    If you want the angle between bottom and top to be at a maximum, get as close to the object as possible, no math required. If you want to fill your field of view with the object, you'd need to start with how humans see, which wasn't discussed at all.

39. What do you think about urban planning? I for one could never live in America despite the high wages because the cities look too ugly.

40. Your bicycle example is only correct under very strict conditions. You must state the velocity, where the contact patches for the tires are in relation to the bikes center line, and if there is loss of traction for either or both tires to judge if it is true.

41. You forgot to say that the throw angle that maximizes the distance, depends on air drag.
    With drag the angle is smaller (typically around 20 deg)

42. @12:03. Many years ago, I asked the question about manhole covers of persons who applied for a mechanical engineering job. You would have failed that question. A large enough manhole cover will cover a small enough hole and not fall through as long as the widest hole dimension is less than the smallest cover dimension. It is a matter of the size of the supporting edge or lip of the hole. There are many reasons manhole covers are usually round (not all are). Those reasons include, but are not limited to, efficiencies in materials used, costs, stresses in materials, ease of orientation, ease of movement, etc. I like your videos, but you swung and and missed on this one example.

43. The nurse example is wrong. Look it up, they fucked up…..please do more research before selling foulty use of statistics! We had this example in statistics in university btw.

44. I have a physics teacher who was able to use physics in case to prove somebody was speeding. Pretty cool

45. What are the careers in physics? Someone plz reply me

46. isn't de 5:48 footage from CGP Grey? just asking?
