  Whenever the axiom of choice is invoked you know there&apos;s some absolutely arcane shenanigans about to be pulled

  that&apos;s basically the quotient set R/Q and taking representatives from [0,1), great video to explain this concept for someone with no background in abstract algebra

  I heard &quot;irrational&quot; when you said &quot;a rational&quot;.

  Zermelo not only invented the Axiom of Choice, but also the Axiom of No Backsies.

  This Is the type &nbsp;of videos that you don&apos;t &nbsp;understand &nbsp;the first &nbsp;time watch it . And you have to rewatch it after &nbsp;years to understand &nbsp;it

  Damn, Veritasium&apos;s explanation really simplified a lot of the concepts at play here. I managed to follow through this video, but if I hadn&apos;t watched his video first I might have gotten lost here.

  Underrated maths channel sighted! This is a great video and explains the topic very well. I&apos;m excited to see what you make in the future.

  While the text on screen is correct, the procedure being shown in the animation around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs3eDa3_DzU&amp;t=330">5:30</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs3eDa3_DzU&amp;t=340">5:40</a> might mislead people into thinking pi/6-1 should go in a brand new box when it&apos;s compared with pi/4 or similar, instead of going with the pi/6 box. (Also, around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs3eDa3_DzU&amp;t=649">10:49</a> there&apos;s a weird mixture of subset and inequality notation.) Otherwise, this is a great video explaining an important concept in real analysis!

  Amazing video! I wish there were more formal math channels like yourself!<br><br>Just one note, in the LaTex of union you should use the symbol \bigcup and not \cup, it&apos;s not really that important but you might benefit from it production wise!
