As I don't understand any of what you said I guess that's not me, and I'll have to wait to be enlightened!

OMG, I can't wait! More set theory content! (Edit: this prompted me to join your Patreon, finally)

Your videos literally changed my mind to love physics rather than disliking it. Thank you for doing a social work in science. 🙂🙂

Wow, excited to see your angle on this one to make it interesting/entertaining. This dips into one of the more esoteric areas of set theory which can be a bit dry. Definitely like the trend lately exploring the ideas of infinities. Stepping out of maths into philosophy for a moment, but I think set theory's approach to infinity is responsible for a lot of our challenges in terms of understanding the concept. There is always the argument that while math was "discovered" as a means to describe reality, does everything in math reflect back on the real world? Having a CS background I always found the topics of computability and countability close to bordering that line.

Good luck getting anyone from pure mathematics. I think once you start going grad track in that, you just live at the department and only come out to do TA credits.

Crazy excited for this video can’t wait!!! One of my favourite topics! 🎉

I guess Kenneth Kunen (author of several books about set theory, with emphasis on independence proofs) would be a perfect candidate for this role were he still alive… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Kunen?wprov=sfti1#Education

I hypothesize that this channel will continue to amaze us. Does that make me an expert?

Just google “continuum hypothesis bananas strawberries”, you’ll thank me later It beings up the Maths Stackexchange post “Doesn’t the unprovability of the continuum hypotesis prove the continuum hypothesis? [duplicate]” which explains it at a 5-years old level using an example with bananas and strawberries

I'm excited you're making a video on this topic! I'm hoping it covers the competing extensions to ZFC which have different outcomes for the question of CH.

Thank you! I'd love to learn more about Godel and also contradictions/impossibilities within mathematics.

Dang, I am merely a PhD student. I don’t know off the top of my head someone who is knowledgeable enough to talk about this, though maybe Stewart Baldwin, my topology professor, may be. He has an extensive background in set theory.

I'm betting ZFC does *not* mean Zero F****ing Competence. If I'm wrong, just let me know: there's a good chance I'm the guy you are looking for! 😜

Hi there! I am seeking an expert to interview for a video I am making about the Continuum Hypothesis. The video will cover what the continuum hypothesis is, Gödel's result that it can't be disproved by ZFC, Cohen's result that it can't be *proved* by ZFC, and what independence means in mathematics. If you are an expert (phd or professor), or know someone who fits the description, please send a message to the email in the pinned comment. Thank you for helping tell people about cool math!
