saw this comment on veritasium’s latest video titled the SAT question everyone got wrong.
it’s a nice video regarding rotation and revolution.

a comment below the aforementioned video by @arielrglaze reads , “It’s messed up how messed up math has made us ignore what’s obvious to the naked eye. it’s even more messed up that we can’t trust our eyes with anything.”
Did that dude even watch the video? Steve talks about how it’s obvious to our eyes but the students had to prove it with math to fight the mark
Steve? you probably meant Doug.
But yeah, to me, maths(coupled with history behind the concept in question) often aids in creating an intuition.
maths allow me to understand what my primitive senses can’t comprehend. it’s an extension to my eyes, I’d say.
Oh I thought this was the Steve Mould video my bad, I watched that the other day
