The Obviously True Theorem No One Can Prove

1. Goldbach’s conjecture must be one of the most amazing open problems of modern maths. The fact that it’s so essy to understand it, yet so incredibly difficult to prove. It kinda also reminds me of the axiom of choice. where it’s just obviously true. But I mean the modern axiomatic system is such that you can expect any type of things to occur, so i wouldnt be surprised if some very obvious axiom that we have never thought of would come and this would get easily shown.

2. Excellent video.

3. The type of collab I dream of

4. Well all prime numbers except for 2 are odd, and odd + odd is always even. I might not be getting the main point here.

5. I'M REALLY CLOSE TO THE THEOREM SOMEONE PLEASE BELIEVE ME, FOR REAL.

6. ai thumbnail?

7. why the hell is there a hotline under the video lmaooo

8. what if numbers weren't infinity, Negative and positive aren’t opposite They’re just neighbors on a circle where Arithmetic becomes periodic would we be thinking of physics incorrect in extreme behaviors? would this mean our "Standard Math" is incorrect as this could possibly be true but its not how we imagine numbers, and wouldn't this make the center of this circle or sphere this illusion would create the true Zero point. this only comes to mind because everything in the universe seems to be round/circular

9. I'm glad that all the YT shorts of that Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons movie is finally being explained to me lol

10. Came for math
    Left because of your butchering of Xiamen

11. 37??? This number does not ring a bell at all hmm.

12. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE NAME SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN ?

13. I like how in the beginning of the video, they say this is a problem that even kids understand.

14. honestly although its not rigourous, the graphical argument at the beginning is proof enough for me.

15. Ramanujan couldn't cross the sea because of his Hindu faith???
    Meanwhile Chola Empire of south India conquering southeast Asia. 🤷‍♂️

16. Love the collab 🎉🎉 great team work

17. The fact that I’ve watched this and the fern video, as a person who is terrible at math, really concerns me 😂

18. As a kid growing up in China in the 80s, Chen was the most prominent figure in the science world. I knew him before I heard of Newton, Einstein, Euler, or any other mathematician or scientist. Had he not lost years of life to the cultural revolution, I can't imagine what he could've accomplished.

19. So, you could use this math to prove why everyone is within six degrees of Kevin Bacon. At least, that’s what I heard.

20. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That's the answer to the thumbnail.

21. I would like to submit the very strong Goldbach conjecture: every prime number can be written as the product of one prime

22. The fastest way to solve any math problem isn't by its drawn appearance…. It would have to be Morse code….I'm guessing

23. What happens to a blood droplet when it drops from space?
    What happens to blood when it's released in space? Does it collect space debris like a vacuum? Is it capable of turning into water by way of starlight? When blood renters the atmosphere does it react like a penny or because blood is liquid is it reacts differently when reacting with gravity?

24. shows how totally savage and abysmal the chinese really are…even to this day

25. 371

26. anyone got the you arent alone thing?

27. All of you are confusing scale with complexity.

    You're basically asking if we keep slicing a pizza all the way through indefinitely will it ever not be an even number of slices?

    Every second grader is taught this and the solution is obvious.

    It will always come to the same outcome because there was no underlying mechanical change to
    The formula in the same way

    2+2=4
    20+20=40
    200+200=400 (just cause another zero is added isn't going to change the underlying logic and its the same deal with that problem that all of you already know the answer to)
    and so on you can keep scailing but it will never break because of the pattern that's been established and this will go to infinity due to that fact.

    Took you all 300 years while it should have taken 30 seconds, each of you get an F

    Now where's my million?

28. Have we considered decimals, fractions and negative numbers? I feel like we are only focusing on whole numbers.

29. 0:00 ppl will do anything but look up the pronunciations of foreign words they don’t know how to say…

30. i try, i try so hard to understand this.. but to my dismay.. i don't.. so i leave half way through .. non the wiser and sad.

31. 12:36 If you did not know, Steven Strogatz also appears in other videos by Veritasium, too, including the video where it talks about Strogatz and another man, Duncan Watts (what I remember, though), trying to solve the small-world problem.

32. a SUICIDE NOTE below a MATH VIDEO IS CRAAAZY

33. 6:54 Euler: "I know this is a certain theorem, but I can't just prove it."

34. I was about to shout 4 bruh ToT

35. Is there a reason for the concentrations of data points in the Goldbach’s comet?

36. Watching this theore­m unfold like a mystery shows maths can be just as thrilling as any thriller

37. "We don't know whats important but we do know what we love, so work on that" what a beautiful quote!

38. In Jamen, China? Jingran?

39. ion know wtv is goin on and im almost done with this vid

40. uuu

41. "anti-communist" in the sense of "free"

42. GOOSE

43. 42 = 6 * 7 btw
