Crazy Coconut Chronicles

In this snack break / field trip, we will learn many things about coconuts.... (I'll also have a new mathematical episode out in about a week).

In case anybody searches any of these terms to learn about them, some topics in this video include: botany, plants, fruits, seed propogation, the island Kauai on Hawaii, regular coconuts, young coconuts, old coconuts, and more!

This episode was directed/edited/soundtracked by me (Domotro) and was filmed by Rishi Amutas and Carlo Trappenberg.

I say this in the best way possible: you are exactly what I imagine a very keen greek philosopher would be like. Just thinking about maths and about how to live a good life and just having interesting thoughts about nature. Really fun field trip, keep up the good work!!

I love that our hat-weaving friend was so ready to share his mathematical knowledge about weaving! Math is truly all around us. I know you will treasure that hat for a long time. What a wonderful gift!

Something cool about hawaiin culture, is they had a mathematic base of four which I believe aided in the effects of ancient Hawaiin mysticism and magic. Also Basket Weaving is a talent and a half, those hats are rad

Coconuts really are a challenge to open. When I was in the cook islands I spent a good half a day fashioning tools out of sticks with a pocket knife and eventually managed to open one, but man it was a struggle

Got to claim the Hawaii trip as a business expense somehow!

Young coconuts are an amazing snack when you are on a beach in the summer.
You can buy them on the beach, drink the water and then go back to have them opened and eat the inside.

The editing is getting better with each episode

Oh hell. This guy showed up in my feed again. Thank God.

Tree: Oh, animals like eating me... well, take this fruit, ha!

Next season: The Hat Man's Riddle, Knots, and the Topology of Coconut Fronds

[JuliusUnique]

Interesting, I didnt think about them being able to float to other islands and spread that way

[Giguv]

I wonder how exactly does the math of weaving things work out. Maybe there are some knot theory or topology concepts that determine if the object stays together or unravels?

[solvexdubstep]

The part with the hat reminded me of Vi Hart's video about stars. Kinda makes me wonder what other methods of hat-weaving might work.

I was saying I wish he'd show one of those seeds sprouting and just then he showed one of the seeds sprouting. I grew a pineapple by rooting the cut off top. It grew a little pineapple on the end of a bendy piece of green I guess was like a branch but the pineapple looked like bait a little bigger than an acorn dangled from a fishing line. I grew it in a 3 liter coke bottle in part shade and just checked it about once a week to water. 🙂

DaPhuqMaths should suit the name of the channel. Very interesting though

[disaliasarray]

I love coconut water, but the "meat" is weirdly dry and unpleasant to chew and swallow

[MasterKenfucius]

please, please, please wash that lab coat!
