I made a critical mistake in the latest video, published two days ago.I’ve just reset it to private, so it’s no longer visible on the channel. Ispent a lot of time on this one but ended up not thinking through a statementtoward the end, which really messed things up. I just couldn’t live with that.Anyway, I’ll be fixing the video in the next couple of hours, and the plan isto republish it early tomorrow morning (7 Jan around 1 a.m. here in Melbourne,early morning in New York). Could I ask all of you for a favour, please? Ipulled a video once before, a couple of years ago, and the corrected versionended up performing poorly in terms of views and likes. This was mainlybecause the Mathologer diehards who were notified right away had alreadywatched the messed-up version and never bothered to check out the correctedversion. So, even if you’ve already watched and liked the video, could youplease click it and like it again when it’s re-released? It’s essential for avideo to get enough of a boost on the first day it’s published to have achance of doing reasonably well in the long run. The corrected part is in the“Numbers of Nature” chapter, which starts around the 34-minute mark. Also,just in case you haven’t watched the video yet, there are a few extra specialbits and pieces to look forward to. In particular, we start out in my officeat Monash University (home to thousands of mathematical gadgets), MathologerJunior makes an appearance, and this one is super visual. :) All the best toall of you in2025
