Imagine trying to describe the end to someone
-
"And our fish only have a single cannon to defend themselves" I think you forgot the fact that the cannon has maxed reload and firing speed
-
As a kid, "Why would someone buy seventy bananas?" As an adult, "Ah yes, the alien kangaroos."
-
The most amazing thing about captain blubber is not the fact that he defended the empire's hellfire, nor the fact that he found a way to make his cannons into gatling guns, but how he got so many cannonballs on that dinky little ship

You can’t say you can skip to 1:54 for no math and then show 2 million basketballs go in the hoop at a similar time without expecting me to go back

First example: yeah, very easy, very common, can be seen everyday (cannon aside) Second example: okay, not as common nowadays and a bit more complex to do, but still “realistic” (extreme cannonball barrage aside) Third example: W H A T I’m worried by how he’s using a present example (basketball), a past example (pirates and ships battle) and a supposed future example (the space kangaroos). Can you see the future and are you trying to warn us of what we’ll be facing? Our overlords?

I'm a calculus tutor, and I'm going to use these videos to teach my students! Very well done!! I love your incorporation of fundamental physics and mathematical concepts in complex applications. Excellent animation as well. I look forward to seeing what you do next!

I’ll be honest, I forgot who you were but I’m glad YouTube notifications reminded me

Genuinely curious; you state that a general equation for solving for the unknown variable (t) only exists in polynomials that have 4 or less degrees. Why did you reduce your 6th degree polynomial all the way down to the first degree? Why not settle for those general equations of the 2-4th degrees? Additionally, is it quicker to reduce it all the way down to the first degree or is it computationally quicker to not take the derivative 5 times?
-
Somehow I watched 8 minutes of math without feeling exhausted afterwards, nice
-
This is like the the third time I've watched this and I JUST noticed that the hoop is destroyed by the explosion at 0:42
-
like a teacher telling a math student that cows are not spherical, i jokingly shouted out "WHAT ABOUT WIND" at 0:33
-
This channel is gonna blow up. Then i can proudly say ive been a sub since your first video 😎
-
1:00 goodbye secondary hoop
-
Your videos should be in our physics class
-
I hope this channel grows to millions of subs. So much effort put into these videos

6:52 for anyone who was confused a derivative is the slope of its function at 2 points so infinitely close together they form one point. The reason a derivative’s x-intercepts coincide with peaks and valleys of it’s parent function is because a line perpendicular to the peak of the parent function has a slope of 0, or a horizontal line.

Look at the back of the boat at 4:46
-
Having come from the present, I find it extremely funny how when the kangaroo overlords run out of space boomerangs they resort not to a technological marvel, but to the classic "raw chicken in salad" gun
-
The explosion model for tracking moving projectiles immediately made me think of Israel’s “iron dome” for intercepting rockets. The explosion model looks like a dome. I would assume they’re using similar maths there?
