Full Transcript

So, some of you may have noticed it's been a little while since I uploaded a video here on Number File. And I thought it might be fun to explain why. Basically, I've been away. I've been in Canada and in the US for two events, a conference called Brain STEM and the big VidCon conference in Anaheim in California. While I was at those events, I had the opportunity to meet some of the big players of YouTube Science, including Viheart, who I know a lot of you watch already. and a ratio of 100 million to 141 million for Henry from Minute Physics all in one equation and it's humbly called the standard model. Destin from Smarter Everyday. Hey, it's me Destin. Welcome to Smarter Everyday. And today we're going to show you some pretty cool high speed. Derek from Veritasium. The first thing I need to do is talk about vectors. Michael from Vsauce. Hey Vsauce, Michael here. And the mysterious CGP gray. Cayman Islands, the Turks and Kikos Islands, Jialter, the British Virgin Islands, Eritia and Tealia, Anguila. didn't only meet them, I also had a chance to film a few quick interviews with them and I'll be uploading them soon. Good morning, Brady. Probably on my channel, 60 Symbols. So, keep an eye out for that. There's already the interview with Henry from Minute Physics there. I'll read it aloud while I'm writing it so I can hear what it sounds like. And then once it's once it's done, I'll print it off and bring it in here and record it. Now, while we're at VidCon, Destin from Smarter Everyday brought along his Phantom highspeed camera, which is great fun. We set it up in the main hall. Here's me about to be slapped in the face. And that's a slap from two of the most famous hands on YouTube. That's Minute Physics and Vie Hart. What a privilege that was. Now, I had a great time. There's lots to talk about from it. Lots of photos and links, and I've put them all in the video description under this video. So, please do have a look. And I hope to see all those people again soon. Although it won't be too soon because I actually just put my passport through the washing machine. So, uh I think I need to send off for another one. But there'll be another normal number file video very soon. Then you list the third diagonal. Then you take the fourth diagonal and the fifth. So eventually you are going to list every fraction. Every fraction appears on a diagonal and you're going to list them.
