Taylor Swift PROVES that the square root of 2 is irrational

classic proof by contradiction that √2 is irrational

[erikbochove]

This proof was given by G. H. Hardy in "A Mathematician's Apology". He states that it is generally accredited to Pythagoras, or at least to his school, and that a generalization of it is in Euclid's Elements Book X, Proposition 9.

We need a Taylor Swift explains the Taylor expansion

[perfectionbox]

if she puts out a bunch of videos we can call them a... Taylor series

Katy Perry: Is math related to science?

Taylor Swift:

To all the pedants who say you have to prove that root 2 exists first: what the proof is really showing is that there is no rational that squares to 2. The proof remains valid in that context.

The development of the real number system is a separate issue, which this proof does not actually depend on.

Imma let you finish but beyonce got one of the best explanations of why the square root of 2 is irrational of all time

It's crazy how when I actually had to learn this stuff I didn't give a shit and found it insanely boring but when AI Taylor Swift is doing it I pay the utmost attention (you should branch and start a series with Kanye explaining physics, Eminem explaining chemistry etc...wld actually work as a education channel)

i now know what i’ll send people when they ask me what my favorite taylor swift song is

[toni_the_toni]

This is genius! I find it really important though to mention, at least in the description, when AI is used, ideally describing which parts were AI supported

[SirGamestop]

Thank you Taylor. Another way to see the contradiction is that the equation "2 b^2 = a^2" implies that a^2 has an odd number of prime factors which is impossible since any square not equal to one will have an even number of prime factors.

Dang, the new Taylor Swift math tutorial goes hard 🔥

[Freakinawesome]

The way it says QED at the end is perfect, with just a hint of sass

[georgeofhamilton]

There should be a series where celebrities actually explain stuff like this.

[FReyes]

That Q. E. D. gave me goosebumps at the end!

[Badcaseoflovingyou]

She actually sounds like an actual math teacher

[stupiditiusmaximus]

I sure do hope that Joker doesn't criticize this proof.

[inessssa]

1:56 that was the sassiest Q.E.D. i have ever heard girl✨✨✨

[ArDuhh]

That is an OK proof, I'm curious if the Joker has anything to say.

[MyLegsAreKindaLong]

damn, swifties must be so lucky to have such an educated idol

[wolfumz]

It's high time Taylor Swift settles this issue once and for all
