Video 5

The video I watched is about unusual pool table which has amzing property. The table is eliptical and therefore has two focus points. On one focus point there is a pocket. According to math, if you place the cue ball on the second focus point and hit it in whatever direction you choose, it will always go into the pocket. This short clip presents this property in the real world and make me want to buy such table.



If you throw a ball at wall with not so much force it will barely rebound.
Manufacture of soda cans isn't expensive.
I don't want to imagine how things would happen if he did't tell her about it.

I watched a video about transcendental numbers. It explains what are they. The clip was very interesting, amusing and full of usefeful informations. The guy in the video, apart from explaining the nature of transcendental numbers, shows examples of them and says how they differ from algebraic numbers. My favourite part was information on how some famous numbers like pi or e were proven to be transcendental.



I told him all about my transcendental experience.
Commentary he gave was trivial and dull.
I suspect the whole incident was phony from the beginning.

In this video a mathematician talks about an interesting number sequence. He first explains the way it works and then tells why it is so amusing. To not spoil the fun of watching the clip, I'll only say, that it has some human-like features, which bring goosebumps to some, who study it. The video may reveal the beauty of sequences to those who doubt it.



Because the film was spooky, I didn't like it.
With each iteration I felt more uncomfortable.
I enjoy watching a spider weave its net.
