being skeptical and determining the truth takes a lot of work. I fear that we may just refuse to wade through all the lies and just accept a enforced willful ignorance.

It has been that way for a while now. I see Veritasium video titles and thumbnails change quite often, it can be quite annoying as it sometimes gives the appearance of it being a whole new video.

A/B testing a title feels wrong to me, its almost as bad as A/B testing a UUID. Just pick a title and stick to it unless you need to fix a factual error.

would it not just produce 'b/c'? assuming 'b/c' is an existent file path

what else could you justify it doing?

Thanks for the correction. It seems that all the layman’s explanations on Galois theory i have seen have been simplified to the point of being technically wrong, as well as underselling it.

I am no mathematician, but i think you may be overstating Galois result. it says that you cant write a single closed form expression for the roots of any quintic using only (+,-,*,/,nth roots). This does not necessarily stop you from expressing each root individually with the standard algebraic operations.

isnt most of the advantage of soap is that it gets the germs off your skin and washes them down the drain. the soap does not have to kill them to work.

i wonder how sensitive your equipment would need to be to read it from the back scatter off the interstellar medium.

unobtainium predates Avatar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium

and at least that exposition makes more sense then the "fountain of youth brain juice" in the sequel, when the humans can literally reincarnate themselves without having to cross interstellar space to do it.

a collision can send debris into an orbit with a higher eccentricity. these orbits may not last very long as they would also have a lower perigee.

> Like if one of the things you have to do is claim to the other device that you’re 2.1 would that get you in trouble?

nintendo tried that with the gameboy. games had to have a copy of the nintendo logo in them. i dont think it was ever tested in court though.

To an archeologist both artifacts are worth having, just look at Pompeii the frescoes tell you alot but the graffiti on the sides of the buildings tells you something as well.

looks like a bottle top opener to me, in fact i think it would work just fine as one.

These might not technically be cancers but the similarity is there.
