okay so how do i tie my shoelaces again
@rutujabadle5644 Says:
Untangling and unknotting has always been my fav hobby since i was a kid cuz its so much intellectually stimulating for me, but i always thought that this interest is the most useless thing about me. But recently I started making macrame again, and my interest was piqued, again, thats what led me to this video….. its a beautiful explanation, tysm❤️
@BorisNVM Says:
Conway would be proud
@ToeNailMuncher111 Says:
How dare he open the video with this and not tell us which is way of tying shoelaces is better. Unbeliveable.
@Gabriel-yd9zt Says:
That plus that equals fifteen... think about it.
@hclssuck Says:
Why did you change the title?
@seanlowery9258 Says:
Come fishing with me whenever you want I could show you a new knot every other cast lol
@gsaats Says:
Excuse me!!!!!
@threeriversforge1997 Says:
This is why everyone should have a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots in their library. Study 'marlinspike seamanship' for even a few days, and you quickly see how important knots are, and how seemingly complex knots are often just simple knots built upon each other. Clifford Ashley was documenting knots before knots were cool!
@zebrg Says:
Soooo.... In which direction should I tie my shoelaces? Clockwise or counterclockwise?
@NathanZimmerman Says:
How did they miss 'naught knot'?
@Cowtymsmiesznego Says:
I was 100% sure this video would be about topology... and I guess I'm right, kinda
@biggamer387 Says:
reef knot
@TehPwnerer Says:
There are three ways however is effectively equivalent to one here however practically it is far superior.
@user-pn9oh2dg9l Says:
15:20. With poke and slide there are also monochrome cases.
@steveclark2205 Says:
Not knott theory
@robertc.7167 Says:
Great video, as usual. Minor note, 26:54 shows a paramecium, which is a eukaryotic single-celled organism, not a bacterium. It is unlikely that medically useful quinolones would affect a paramecium since their topoisomerases are likely to be more similar to ours than to bacterial topoisomerases.

Pretzels are yummy 😎 👶
@Wildwanderer99 Says:
It doesn't matter if it was a solution in knot theory. It was a solution. These best kind.

@Burbun Says:
Nobody:
Human type 2 Topoisomerase: Amogus
@Burbun Says:
There are a lot more than two ways to tie your shoes...
@just_yelsew Says:
so... i spent 4 hours untangling a knot just to learn that there is probably someone out there who could do it in 5 minutes.
@Varntex Says:
These shoelace tying tutorials are getting out of hand, ill just buy velcro shoes
@Jamblox-nm5er Says:
The fact that the intro alone made me like the video is crazy
@Knight3rrant Says:
If you are familiar with the philosophy of the great Robert Anton Wilson, I posit this for consideration: String Theory po Knot Theory
@Knight3rrant Says:
We need a follow-up video on what all this knot theory means regarding conquering the practical, real-world, problem of detangling a mess of wire/rope/line the most efficient way possible.
@petachad420 Says:
Best knot is dragon knot
@jaywolfie5445 Says:
Zoowhee momma this one had me stressed
@litigioussociety4249 Says:
That's not how I tie my shoes. U make two loops, and tie them together. May or may not be a different type of knot.
@anastazjaszymichowska905 Says:
Please help me learn this
@incaseofimportantnegotiations Says:
pffff i do two strings self loop
@UselesStranger Says:
This is amazing. I am extremely happy, that this video found me today.
I've loved knots since childhood. I was tieing knots and drawing them in my album for hours, I've tried to compare and replicate them.
Is there any books abouts knots? I really want to explore its mathematic and scientific side
@WaitingforGodel Says:
Forget M-theory, Kn-theory based on multidimensional knots truly works as a theory of everything when extended to 12 dimensions
@dappy9988 Says:
Ben Burton after adding 350M knots randomly
@liamlimes8292 Says:
Knot cool.
@dappy9988 Says:
There are quite a few demographics that NEED this video for... "precarious reasons"
@Idontdeserveanylikewhy Says:
Guy ik this is not related but if you play yoyo when you try to do a hard trick and the string having a knot that is the hardest knot to untangled😂😂😂
@nano-toliy582 Says:
17:14 wait (1+2)/3 is 3/3, whitch is 1 and not 0... So I don't understand this now
@firehd8hdfire Says:
In the graphic at 9:07 minutes into the video, why is there basic Trefoil in the 10 knot crossing group of knots?
@user-ku8ld6td6x Says:
watching this in preparation for my next fishing trip.
@Kveldred Says:
Hey, I've been doing my shoelaces right! 😎 Finally, an advantage from being left-handed!
@audinayt Says:
Thank you for making such good videos guys it’s like my attention span length is getting better than ever
@flightlesswizard Says:
Of course Conway found 550 knots in one afternoon
@karetsin265 Says:
all that and a guy just slices it with his sword
@Ryan-kf7of Says:
"Took several computers several months" and you got one guy claiming to do a whole bunch in an afternoon.. suuure buddy.. suuure
@conejitorosada2326 Says:
I came here for the comments of a different kind of knots and severely disappointed yet impressed
@dany_fg Says:
to be or knot to be, that is the question.
@Furry_Lord Says:
No thanks that method will damage my headphone cable.
