vsauce = **explains something impossible**, **pauses**, "or is it??"

That audience went from 100-0 real quick

[Melly_The]

the universe feels disturbingly engineered to avoid paradoxes (beyond thought experiments) at times

[thickanimethighs]

Damn this guy has crazy shower thoughts

[mysstal]

I like how even the fake audience stopped clapping because they had no idea how to comprehend what he was saying

[VaporNinjaVD]

Sometimes I like to watch Vsauce videos and pretend I know what he's taking about.

"You will never have an infinite number of balls, and you will never have a large enough urn to hold all of them. You will never build a lamp that can turn on and off arbitrarily fast."

It's true, but you didn't have to say it 😭

[johnsyvertsen]

"You will never have an infinite number of balls" damn it

[OuijaMochi]

[joshuadewispelaere]

Micheal busting dance moves with his hands while giving me an emotional speech about the human being. Still gets me every time.

[MartanJe]

Whenever Michael says “Or could you” universe creates a new copy of itself with new rules of physics.

[Adam-vusy]

Never thought he would tell me I can’t have an infinite amount of balls

[SurrogateActivities]

Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.
*Inhales*
Infinity.

I was expecting for Michael to remove his sweater on each half until he removed infinite number of sweaters. :(
