More technically, the barn’s immense mass cause positive Anti-de Sitter spacetime curvature locally. All light rays emitted from the barn are stretched as a result as they follow their world lines. In fact, barns further away are said to be expanding faster and faster. Some even speculate the expansion of the universe is increasing exponentially as a result of these barns. This is known as the Theory of Quantum Barn Gravity.
Glad you are enjoying it! Please feel free to share any other channels like Computerphile, Numberphile, Mutual Information, & Veritasium. It’s difficult to find gems nowadays on YT.
Please feel free to ask any questions! Math is a wonderful field full of beauty but unfortunately almost all education systems fail to show this and instead makes it seem like raw robotic calculations instead of creativity.
Math is best learned visually and with context to more abstract terms. 3Blue1Brown is the best resource in my opinion for this!
Here’s a mindblowing fact for you along with a video from 3Blue1Brown. Imagine you are sliding a 1,000,000 kg box and slamming it into a 1 kg box on an ice surface with no friction. The 1 kg box hits a wall and bounces back to hit the 1,000,000 kg box again.
The number of bounces that appear is the digits of Pi. Crazy right? Why would pi appear here? If you want to learn more here’s a video from the best math teacher in the world.
There was a response I left in the main comment thread but I’m not sure if you will get the notification. I wanted to post it again so you see it

Yeah lol. Search engines have gone down in quality so bad it really does feel like that. It has been so difficult finding stuff on google/duckduckgo etc that I have to rely on portals now.
Search engines have been dropping in quality significantly within the past decade, and especially within this past year. The noise to signal ratio has been frankly painful....
I am extremely disappointed in the recent senate hearing on AI regulation. The level of authoritarianism and control required to truly regulate AI will bring about a draconian world in which the very values we wish to protect will be destroyed....
What social media platforms do you use and want to recommend to others? Front ends could also be a suggestion, along with lists of great communities....
It’s very sad indeed that this is the “best”. The only thing better would probably be specific youtubers who go get news sources for themselves. But I’m not aware of many.
SEO has made it incredibly hard to find answers without getting spammed by news and blog sites. Places like ask Lemmy help democratize answers through upvotes and downvotes so the quality is higher....
Feel free to list a few video games from different genres. Best is definitely subjective and I’m sure there are many “Best” games for various categories....
Half Life is awesome! If I had to choose from all the games I’ve played, the half life series has to be best in my opinion. There are so many small details and world building elements in each half life game that it really does make it feel like you are in the game. And then there is Half Life: Alyx…
It was so immersive, I smashed my head against the wall trying to run away from something lol
Warning Half Life: Alyx Spoilers. Do not read it unless you have played this game. It is a once in a lifetime experience.I had that moment in Half Life Alyx: at Jeff. No game makes you feel genuine fear as that level did. You felt as you were there physically trying to escape from death. Best gaming experience ever! ___
Awesome! Thanks for this post by the way! It has been my favorite post to go through since I don’t have a google account and can’t use their recommendation system. Plus, the recommendation system definitely doesn’t give us as high quality channels as some from this thread.
There are still hundreds if not thousands of hidden gems on YouTube. I’ll come back to this post and share some as I rediscover them.
Here is another one before I go. Astartes. Sad they stopped but glad they found employment at least for their skills.
Not a channel, but some resources. The addons are all open source. Also unfortunately many subreddits that had quality channel suggestions have been either banned due to being “unmoderated” or are lost to time. Please post any finds here or help archive them if you can. The Datahorders community is a great place to start!
