Alright, this was AMAZING... I have tried my best to shorten this video because my explanations where way too long. But fantastic Job from Alan Becker and his team on both the animation and the physics

You’re like the Mass Effect Logs/History Logs whenever a video like this comes out. You end up talking about concepts and theories that I could never understand while I’m just sitting here like “Smart man knows much, me like stick figure do funny math moves.”
it helps scratch an itch in my adhd brain, I like it XD
@@blusterlumino890mmmm aaple fall
Dude just study
The OG Mass Effect logs. ME2 and ME3 (on account of losing the creativity the OG team had - post EA) never got around to understand the world building effect of ME.
I'm 12 and this guy is explaining things that somehow don't go beyond my comprehensive skills so what is that about?
going to admit I didn't understand most of this but after seeing this I genuinely see why people like physics
Physics is awesome
I'm interested in physics and excited to learn!!
@@waltuh7947 true
Finally people'are understanding beauty of physics, space etc
Honestly, you would only like a subject if you also like the teacher. So be your own teacher. ^^
I love how the Second Coming felt inclined to toss an apple at his past self despite it not really serving a purpose like the other objects. Sure, you could argue that it was to catch his attention and direct him towards the Blackhole, but he had the apple smack his own head and laughed about it twice.
Time loop that needs to be fulfilled.
@@infinityheart_tm9270 Yeah, but it was still something for his own amusement more than anything else, trolling himself lol
@@infinityheart_tm9270 homestuck pfp checks out
36:10 It was actually one of Alan's lead animators who was the brain behind this. I'll say it once and say it again art & science are more interconnected than most people think. Art inspires science and science inspires art. -S.T.E.A.M
Art is just science having fun and science is just art being serious.
bro really thought he could sneak art into stem
@@okdariusthe education system started doing it recently, but tbh if we didnt have art, all our stuff would look crap and no one would want to go to other planets because it would be a metal tube buried in the surface with bare minimum features, rather than the utopic dream of domes
As much as I want the steam thing to be true, the reason for their name was because valve > releases > steam. Though, that's still sciencey!
@@demolition3612 Tbh idk what education system ur refering to because there's a clear distinction between art and science pathways everywhere I've studied so far. and while i can see the connection you're making, a lot of things are connected but are no where near the same. U can't have only a UI/UX designer or only a software engineer and expect to get a polished commercial-grade product, some would argue with only a SW you could still do it albeit unpolished, but we'll just ignore that for the sake of argument. What I'm trying to say is this is analogous to so many things in life, but it's hard to ignore the fact that their difference in coursework (design/drawing/photography/history/sculpture/color theory etc vs physics/chem/whole lotta math/comp. theory etc) and imo difficulty is day and night. If some schools are really making "STEAM" it honestly wouldn't surprise me, afterall it's 2023 the era of inclusivity and supposedly men can give birth to children so yeah sure, STEAM it is if being apart of STEM makes art majors happy, but the facts are still there.
-7:00 "at least it wasn't an apple" -31:40 *apple*
"John takes one of the apples away calculate the mass of the sun" I know a similar more absurd task that i was told as a child: "There were two giraffes one blue one to the left what a kilo of asphalt weighs if the hedgehog is 32 years old?"
I also have two absurd questions i was told here: 1: „A train drives at 22 mph and passes 4 tunnels. What is the lunch of the shauffeurs grandmother on the next sunday?“ 2: „Three butterflies are taken away from a berry bush. How many berries are left?“
obviously the answer is c bruh ez
It weighs a kilo
it would weigh 9.8 newtons.
@@yhwh5568 "correct, little Jimmy! Now tell me, if you sit in the bus and it snows through the floor of the empire state building in Moscow, what should be under your left little finger if a plane in China crashes onto the moon?"
12:16 _"You are mad."_ Orange Stick: _"Thank goodness. If I wasn't, this'd probably never work."_ 😹
I love how that closed string at 38:55 slowly turned into an apple, restarting the whole cycle
8:47 bro knew what he was drawing
These reactions are really great since you often break down or examine things in the video, so it feels more like a mixture between a commentary and reaction video, which is very nice. Reaction channels get a lot of flak (some rightfully so as they add very little to the content) but your channel is a much needed exception. Well done!
my brain be like, "speak your funny words magic man. ooh space cowboy".
“Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” 😂😂
I love how every other react youtuber also are as blank and confused with string theory and quantum mechanics once they got to that stage. It just goes to show how little many know of that field of physics, even to the physicists themselves.
I just gotta wonder how much of that had to be “artistized” for lack of a better word. Like some of the concepts at that part are purely hypothetical, like the Tipler Cylinder (from what I’ve heard it’s a theoretical form of time travel). I think it’s EXTREMELY unlikely we’d actually be able to get even close to a black hole, let alone go inside one and live to tell the tale, so I just gotta wonder how much of the quantum mechanics part was theoretical vs actually based on observation, cause they lost me at worldsheets.
@@twelved4983For all it worth, basically everything past the event horizon are almost 90% Theoretical, and everything past the worldsheet are 100% theoretical. We only have words on paper about that subject for now, with no way to look at a phenomenon as scale this infinitesimal
@@twelved4983I AINT READING ALL THAT
@@twelved4983 I like to be optimistic haha, we've got trillions of years to figure things out after all, assuming we don't all kill each other beforehand... we've gone from sticks and stones to quantum physics in a few tens of thousands, I'd like to think we can get a bit further
Definitely not trillion of years, the sun will explode before that and engulf us
I feel like with any physics concept, if you dig deep enough you always end up with "the problem is, quantum mechanics" sooner or later 😂 Also I'd think "Animation vs. Chemistry" would be next in line. The trifecta of math, physics, chemistry must be completed :)
Blue should be the protagonist in that one. He loves mixing things.
Why is Chemistry in this trifecta? Chemistry is just glorified Physics that makes it easier to comprehend things for us. Same with Biology.
@@peezieforestem5078 Physics is just an application of mathematics, and yet that video happens anyway. Chemistry to see how stick figures interact with elements. Biology to see how they interact with cells, but for longer durations.
@@dbclass4075 Physics is no more an application of mathematics than it is an application of language. Math is used as a tool to describe things, just like language is. It doesn't mean all physics is is an application of it. Physics is the study of the natural world, it is a natural science. Mathematics is a study of abstractions, it's not a natural science, in fact it can be considered not a science at all, because it can be viewed as a system that's invented, not something that exists that needs to be discovered. However, Chemistry and Biology are natural sciences that study aspects of the natural world. The processes they study literally are physical processes, viewed from a higher level. Unlike mathematical processes, which I'm not sure what that even means, it's not a thing, which should show you just how different math and physics are.
@@peezieforestem5078 That's why viewers want Animation vs. Chemistry and Biology: they want to see stick figures interacting with the aspects of the natural world. A change of pace from Minecraft, semi-reality (noogai3), and virtual reality (stick figures) world.
This guy: it’s actually rather simple Me: I like your funny words magic man
7:16 "how do you remember things?" hahahaha, i don't.
I forgot my name twice
@@redacted-tn3tp same
The method he uses is based on the Loci method. Simply put in your mind imagine a room in your house, stand at the door and look around the room in a clockwise direction. As you scan the room particular places/objects etc will stand out more in your mind than others. You then used that list of things and attach/associate one with what you wish to remember. The idea is the more unusual/interesting you can make the association the easier it is to remember. It works with the brain’s tendency to be more engaged with new or novel things than common mundane things. Once you get the hand of it you can start adding more and more rooms in your memory palace. It takes a little effort to learn it and make it a habit but worthwhile.
Same
@@lordomacron3719is this all because if yes I'm going to study/learn this like homework
I absolutely LOVE it when nerds meet other nerds and start talking! This was very informative!! Thank you breaking it down for us mere mortals.
Alan Becker has a second channel with a friend called "Animators vs Games" which is primarily a gaming channel, but they also do their own reacts to these videos. For this and the math one, Alan explains the story was primarily by his lead animator.
we truly need a long form video of your full explanation of the physics involved speaking especially am a engineering student and this has truly taken my interest
I've always enjoyed this concept in sci-fi writing. Time loops of this kind of variety follow the idea that if you manipulate the universe to this extent, the past must follow the steps for that future to take place, every tool and or happenstance is written to force the future your currently in to happen, and its a concept I wish was used more.
I would LOVE for you to go back and watch more Alan Becker animations, specifically the Animation vs Minecraft series (seasons 1-3). Some great and creative story telling elements used by Alan and its just a fun and surprisingly emotional story so far haha.
Animation vs Physics is also great. In a nutshell-and all physics to some degree, Congratulation: You played yourself.
tl;dr for the physics/maths-babbies who want to know more about metrics and manifolds: metric spaces are any set of elements with a well defined distance function between all elements, e.g, the natural numbers on the number line, points in a 2d (cartesian) plane, points in a 3d (euclidean) space, 8 dimensional octonion space, etc.. Think of it as the general category of all the different ways you can define distance between elements/points. These are specific mathematical structures that you can combine with topological spaces (a set of element where closeness is defined, but distance does not have to be) like manifolds. a manifold is a little bit trickier because of how general the idea is makes it tricky to get the applications, but the two key ideas are a) a manifold is the generalisation of the idea of (euclidean) 3d space that can be equipped with specific metric structures or conditions to change its characteristics & produce different models of behaviour, & b) manifolds allow you to project higher dimensional structures down into a simpler representation e.g. Taking a geoid planet Earth in 3d and turning it into an atlas of 2d maps with topological deformations & a few cuts. This is how all the wacky spaces we use to model QM & Relativistic mechanics get constructed. Like Anti De Sitter/De Sitter space or a Calabi-Yau manifold/space. Shout out to the guys who wanted to make Judith Mossman annoying by making her rant about Topological Physics at Gordon and gave me my royal road to mathematics & physics.
I don’t think this guy gets enough recognition. His videos are great!
It's so cool how the animation is so well researched that he can both predict things before they happen and recognize things by what they do.
My bro has humor, WHILE EDUCATING US, W content creator.❤
I was waiting for this reaction.
21:16 i'm keeping along and listening even though it's going in one ear and straight out the other, and i double DOG dare you to turn a sixteen minute video into an hour >:)
stellaris soundtrack jumpscare also ddlc soundtrack jumpscare Love your rants, it's why I come to you over "generic reaction dude"
YES another KZheadr i like watching reacted to this, and it‘s late afternoon too (at least in europe), so perfect time for this, but i waited way too long for the reaction Anyways Thanks for the cool content, Chill Zone! [Alr now it loaded and i can finally watch it : D]
14:30 let me stop you there for a second. (.... _second_ ... heh... that's funny...) what you call "time dilation" is actually (and I don't mean this as a clarification, I mean it as *it is, indeed, this exact thing* and only, ever, *this exact thing:)* _[the equalization of all speeds of movement, of every single particle, of every frame of reference, to the same speed]_ that's it... that's the real thing behind "time dilation": everything "stops" for you and not the observer because *[given that]* you're moving close to the speed of light and nothing can go past it, then *[the entire frame of reference]* is moving *at* the speed of light (namely you, whatever vehicle you're using, and the immediate space around it), so hard that every particle interaction that would cause your biology to evolve, simply doesn't happen. "this" particle doesn't reach "that" particle, because both are moving at the speed limit.... they keep chasing one another forever without meeting, they don't react, chemical compounds are not formed, your cells don't grow, and you have effectively "stopped aging". which is a fancy way of saying "time has stopped".... no, it hasn't. time can't stop because time itself doesn't exist... it's an illusion... it's a simplified concept we use to refer to *[the aggregate sum of every particle state throughout the entire universe]* if we were to name each one, it'd be a massive construct... it's impossible to fathom.... so we simplify it by calling it "time", but there's no "time" anywhere... time is everywhere, everything, and it doesn't exist. and referring to it as something that can be "stopped", leads to impossible postulates such as "you can't go past the speed of light", when measuring the speed of light as distance over *time* see how that enormous construct throws a simple calculation off balance when you try to wrangle it? if you want to consider time, consider the enormity that it is in reality: it's the literal entirety of the universe. more to the point: it's the description of every particle in the universe... the naming of every particle by absolute position, speed, and direction. *THAT* is time..... *THAT* needs to be explained, because if you don't, people start simplifying equations and forget about baseline concepts!
The Same Lead Animator (I think) for the Math vs Animation also lead this one, he truly is a genius lol
Who needs to pay for online classes? We got Jack.
One of his lead animators named Terkoiz is the one who came up with this and Animation vs. Math.
thank you for explaining a lot of things, it's very satisfying and refreshing having somebody know their stuff
Wow, the editing on this video is so good and is such good visual aid for your explanations, I’m surprised you got out this video so quickly! Great analysis!
I struggle with physics quite a lot, but your explanations are clear and I like how you take the time to examine whats going on
36:00 I didn't notice it at the time... but, that representation of hyperbolic space kinda looks a lot like a DRADIS display from Battlestar Galactica. .....could that tie to how they operate jump drives? their whole frame of reference and calculations being hyperbolic?
I love the explanation of concepts I have no idea about. Somebody in Alan Backer's video had a great idea to do chemistry but they are gonna do an animation vs. education series so every concept will covered one way or another.
"How do we get back down?" The ancient, tried-and-true art of Lithobraking.
This is great! I was just going on youtube to listen to Let's Go to the Beach B*ch and Animation vs Physics popped up in recommendation ( "WOW" ) and monkey brain goes "Enjoyment. More" and cortex goes "...but different", so I check out your video. I had followed up to Lorentz Factor (rocket man) on the physics part. And you go into detail about stuff and sh*t.
You are hyperactive >.>
@@nikothewolf344 AND hyper focused 😃 You, my friend might be very observant, however noticing I'm hyper doesn't prove that 🤣
@@menosproblemos6993 Insert reply here, anyways yeah me too though I guess I have more self control when writing KZhead comments, though I sometimes get extremely strong urges to go run around in circles like a kid excited for his birthday party or something.
The moment World Sheets get introduced, we get to the concept of "String Theory" and this video literally depicts most of it.
Good ol Theoretical Physics
I watched this video with Alan and I basically had the same reaction as you at the end. Even though I didn't quite understand everything this was such a good video. Awesome reaction!
I love it whenever a 15 minute video turns into a 45 minute video
13:07 you did it again!😂
I just watched your animation vs math reaction, and I was so excited for your reaction to this!!
Gotta love how there's almost always an Apple in every step of his way. Can't forget where ya came from.
I've been waiting for your reaction. Thanks so much for all the explainations. Love the stellaris music in the backround btw.
You have to watch it twice to really see everything happening in real time, knowing what you do now.
I loved the video! Thank you very much for reacting to it! :)
cowboy hats do not have enough force to escape a blackhole it seems
When I saw this video come out I had no idea what was going on. But I recently saw your channel and hoped you made a video and you did. Honestly I don’t know anything past kinetic and potential energy but I always found very complex things interesting. I enjoy it even more when someone who loves the subject starts to explain it. This was such a great video and never stop displaying your intelligence.😁
if you ranted for 10 whole hours explaining every single thing in this video, i would still watch it 😭😭
Your slack-jaw reaction at the end is so damn appropriate these animation vs videos stun me every time
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ❤
nah this was a masterclass of a video, and i like the fact that you are just accepting and enjoying certain "artistic freedom" they chose to go with and just pointing them out instead of straight up shooting down,
My favorite part was when they got to Quantum Mechanics and Theoretical Physics.
animation vs physics is one of those where you are shown what happens behind the curtain, and yet you want to pull back the curtain more, learn about these extreme concepts. i believe that even a 41 minute reaction video is barely doing it justice
Thank you, I was excited for you to react to this lol!
The girl being pulled by the dog is such a great video. Very funny. Thank you for the great insights. Love seeing these types of reactions that help me understand the real-life applications of in-video concepts
due to the brilliance of last five minutes i was literally in tear
i am watching this particular video of Alan Becker now 10 times and I don't get enough. Thanks for ur reaction! greetings from Austria
you are the universe creating you for yourself. the bottom of the glass of physics.
I've always loved the animations in 'The Mechanical Universe' (physics course from the 80's.). When I first the programme I was too young to really understand, but that visual way of manipulating equations made me understand enough. And it sparked my interest in physics and math. This gives me that same feeling.
No remark on the Tipler cylinder. That’s how the closed timelike curve was made. Orbit around a heavily charged singularity is another option.
Yep yep yep, we very much enjoy it! I love Physics and Maths but I'm sadly not smart enough to understand it all :') people like you and animations like these really help to keep my interest going.
best reactions to these videos ive seen so far in youtube thank you for your knowledge
I spent the last 18 years of figuring out sound waves in order to make the "best" speakers for myself, having to learn concepts that have nothing to do with sound, but with the perception of sound and TIME. Light behaves similarly to sound, however the results vary as does biology. This video is amazing as you can pick areas "through the journey"and spend decades exploring. I wish children had something like this shown in Physics class to help them understand the Universe they live in.
“At least it wasn’t an Apple” oh just you wait *cue evil laughter*
Immediately thought of you when i saw the original video dropped lol i was waiting for this
Could you just make videos about physics? You explain it very well
dude best reaction to this i ever. your excitement is infectious about every single part. i LOVE how the later sections of the video start to go crazy, getting everyone on the same level, to sit down and just enjoy what's happening. explain by observation and expanding on intuition. and it all ties up in a bow!!! thank you for adding all the explanations to the things you know too (and you clearly know your stuff) but. yeah. that was special to watch with you heh. o7 tc! comment for your algorithm
6:08 E is also the note the thickest string of your bass behind you emits on standard tuning first time coming around one of your videos and man you are so chill and enjoyable! You'd be an excellent teacher/professor!
Cant wait to start my physics degree next year! This reminds me why I love the subject so much.
Thank you ror your explanations
You're laughing about the tree space program, but there is a firm, that is working on a space catapult currently.
I tried going for physics in my college years and while I ended up not getting a degree in it(yay adhd screwing with homework routines!) I've always kept up with the news and concepts as I could. As such, while I understand a lot of the quantum mechanics that is shown here in general terms, I'd never be able to explain it to another person in any way that sounds sane. And yet this video managed to do it through the use of a stick figure interacting with the concept. Such a simple idea with such complex concepts that it just leaves you sitting there in awe of Alan's team and this piece of art they've managed to create.
My favorite part of the animation is when TSC(-1) first approaches TSC(0) and thanks to the Cowboy Hat letting us see minor 3D motions on a 2D character we get a 4th wall break moment where TSC(0) looks at us in the audience before double taking back to TSC(-1)
10:12 BRO THE DDLC IS EVERYWHERE 😭
During the magnet section, i used this Gforce calculator and to go from 1% the speed of light to 1.4% speed of light in one second you will be hit with about 112 THOUSAND G's.....
Love the use of stellaris ost during the explanations 😊
19:22 "catch aaa riiiiiiddeeee"
your explanations were very helpful on understanding the movie . THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That made me super happy when you said Fma becuade I do the same thing.
21:19 bold of you to asume we were able to follow along from the start XD
Chem teacher here... I'm thinking about the moment at 9:40 where Orange uses a weighted "lasso" to propel himself across a frictionless surface. He does this by throwing the weight and letting the "tug" on the rope pull him forward. According to Newton's 3rd, this shouldn't be possible, right??? When he throws the weight, it should apply an equal opposite force, which pushes him backwards. And then when the weight pulls the rope tight, there should be equal forces acting in opposite directions along the axis of the rope. Thus, everything should "cancel" and he should have a net displacement of zero meters. lmk if this is wrong * shrug *
He generates energy by spinning the ball first. It's not *just* the energy from the throw, but also the centrifugal energy turned linear momentum.
After I noticed the doki doki music that was in the background it gave me chills for a second
8:47 I’m not going to lie to you, this took me a couple of seconds just to process that you drew an angle theta and not what it looks like.
if you have an oculus quest, it might be worth playing Hyperbolica, played on a hyperbolic plane, like in the middle of the black hole in this animation. It will probably make you motion sick after a while, since the angles are wrong for your senses, but it's worth looking at
Whats insane is that, for my achool's physics program, I learned up until *right* before the Lorentz Factor, and up until then I understood what was going on (vaguely, hraduated in 2018 from Highschool, so its been a while XD)
Btw it is one of Alan's team members who comes up with all the phys/math behind all of this, amazed me too. Ive watched it thrice and still doesnt fail to amaze me (Even after knowing about all this)
I've always loved the quote from Richard Feynman that the more you think you know about quantum physics, the less you actually know.
I really love ur reactions
omg this guys voice is amazing
This channel is like a breath of fresh air
8:52 there is no way in Hell i am the only one who sees this.
I’ve been Waiting Man!!
So for those who don't know why the planets had speed indicators on them, it's because speed is all relative. Each planet is moving that fast, relative to its star. if there is no frame of reference, there is no speed. As an example: If you were in a complete white void with nothing in it at all (not even ground/a floor), and you started trying to move, you wouldn't be able to tell how fast you are going because there is nothing to compare it to. As such, your speed would also be zero in that case.
Love this! Also, quantum physics is one of my special interests, and I need to see a quantum physics person react to this at some point. I don't know a ton about quantum physics... But it's weird seeing someone stumped by concepts that have always come to me easily.
Alan Becker should do a Animation vs Every subjects, but keep up the good work man!
I think they plan too at this point, esp with the amount of views these 2 videos got.
