| 0:00.0 | What Three Blue One Brown has done for mathematics is unsurpassed. Not only with the channel, but with the Summer of Math Exposition contest, which, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is less of a contest and more of an ethos to create mathematical explainer videos collectively during the same time period. |
| 0:19.0 | I'm a huge, huge fan of Grant Sanderson, |
| 0:21.8 | the person behind Three Blue One Brown, and the Summer of Math Exposition contest, |
| 0:26.4 | and thought, well, since this channel, theories of everything is about physics and consciousness studies, |
| 0:32.2 | why not do a similar contest but on those topics instead? |
| 0:36.0 | A few weeks ago, I emailed Grant just to not step |
| 0:39.0 | on any toes, so to speak, and he said, go for it. So today, I'm announcing the physics and |
| 0:45.3 | consciousness explications contest. Essentially, it's a place and a period for you to submit your |
| 0:50.8 | video explainer of a physics phenomenon or of a consciousness phenomenon or |
| 0:55.0 | theory will go into exactly what that means shortly. And Brilliant has similarly come on board with |
| 1:00.1 | $1,000 to give to each one of the top five winners, that is $5,000 divided among five. I'll make a video |
| 1:06.6 | with the top explainer videos. Of course, that's extremely subjective. And so I'll be supplementing that with a playlist inventorying each of the entries. |
| 1:14.4 | So what's the point of all of this? Well, number one, it's not to have winners. It's to have more disquisitions on topics that don't have readily digestible tutorials out there, at least not publicly. |
| 1:25.6 | Number two, it's to give a nudge to you or to someone |
| 1:28.5 | you know who you want to share this with, who is on the perimeter of deciding to make a video, |
| 1:33.9 | but is unsure. Perhaps this scant incentive of being recognized with views or recognized |
| 1:39.9 | financially with a prize pushes you in the direction of making content that you may not have |
| 1:44.6 | otherwise. Number three, the top comments on the three blue one brown YouTube video about the |
| 1:49.8 | contest is something that I resonated with. Blar Goner. This user said that it's unfortunate that the |
| 1:55.5 | more advanced videos, which explicitly assumed some prerequisite knowledge, got downvoted |
| 2:00.0 | and flagged as being unclear, not explaining jargon, etc., despite such entries indeed being allowed by the general guidelines. |
| 2:07.6 | In the future, consider having different levels of submission, for example, advanced. |
