  you know an advanced math video is going to be good if we start by reminding ourselves how reading numbers works

  This sounds like a mate-in-ω situation here

  A 727 reference is the last thing I expect to see in a video like this one

  "There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity. And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird."

  As both a math enthusiast and an Undertale fan, I can say the -1 in the Goodstein sequence fills me with DETERMINATION.

  "Solving a finite number problem using infinities" Isn't that just calculus

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDt0Ub9E2GI&amp;t=127">2:07</a> I know this was probably a verbal error but saying &quot;about&quot; followed by an number 10s of millions of digits long with minus 2 at the end is hilarious.

  Always nice to see a new sequence that seemingly against all common sense, converges

  Finally, someone beats me to the convergence of all goodstein sequences theorem, super nais example. Really recommend the Kirby and paris paper where it is first proven indecidable in peano aritmethic, by generalizing with the hydra game.
