The vast majority of black holes we have identified are known either from their gravitational effects on stars around them, or from the jets of material shooting out of their accretion disks. If any of these were actually wormholes, it’s unlikely we would know. However, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration’s observation of the polarization around M87* and its follow-up on Sagittarius A* are a different matter. In these cases, we saw the shadow of the object itself against its event horizon, and might hope to notice something if we were really looking at a wormhole.

Transcript Intro 0:01 hi everyone michael smith here 0:04 as a numerologist and former engineer 0:06 and stats guy i've always been 0:08 fascinated by number patterns especially 0:10 when the same pattern or number pops up 0:12 in many different places 0:14 one such number is 137 0:17 although it shows up in key places in 0:19 math physics chemistry and other natural 0:21 phenomena y has remained a mystery 0:24 in this video we're going to explore 0:26 this curious number from various angles 0:28 to see if we can shed some light on that 0:30 mystery Curious Appearances of 137 0:33 here are some of the better known 0:34 examples of where 137 shows up to give 0:37 you an idea of why it's considered so 0:39 intriguing 0:40 first and foremost the number 137 0:42 appears in one of the most important 0:44 universal constants of nature 0:46 what's called the fine structure 0:47 constant 0:48 with a value very close to 1 over 137 0:52 this number quantifies the strength of 0:54...

Aesthetics as the Reason and the Goal

Tyranny is for atheists as liberation is for theists. I’ll tell you why. The rhetoric of the atheistic mind is mired within the confines of physical manifestations and their particle zoo while theistic arguments soar into the realm of principles from which the realm of physical manifestation is viewed as a mere speck in the infinitude of the universe. The atheistic mind is stuck on earth confined as it were within their engineering constructions while the theistic mind flies freely in the heavens with angelic wings namely using Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem. We are already picoseconds away from utter destruction and still there are people who cannot make the metaphysical connection of Consciousness, Intelligence to Love to power, truth and beauty. This is the constitution of the universe and is the integrity of it. Briefly, and in relation to Gaza, there is a profound message that highlights the beauty of Palestinian resilience as a cosmic phenomenon. This is the reason why people in non-...

Video with Transcript: Fibonacci Numbers hidden in the Mandelbrot Set - Numberphile

0:00 So, today I'm gonna tell you about how the Fibonacci sequence appears in the Mandelbrot set. 0:04 Hopefully, your mind will be blown by the end of that sentence. 0:06 So the Fibonacci sequence, the rule is that you take the previous two numbers, 0:10 and you add them together to get the next. Right? So we started with 1 1. Their sum is 2. 0:15 The next number will be the sum of 1 & 2, which is 3. 0:19 The sum of 2 & 3 is 5. The sum of 3 & 5 is 8. I'll do one more. 0:24 And then, you can continue on. 0:26 Brady: "Easy." 0:27 Easy, right? And this occurs everywhere that has interesting connections to things in nature, and all of that, 0:31 but I just want to show you where it appears on the Mandelbrot set. 0:35 So, slightly less easy. So, the Mandelbrot set is a special object inside of the complex plane. So the plane of complex numbers. And 0:43 the way you cook this thing up is by 0:46 considering a certain type of dynamical system. So if you give me ...
