UPDATE: It was about the gaps between primes. Check out the rough cut now - https://www.patreon.com/posts/49551957

I was going through the 'production footage' of my next video and this paused shot made me laugh! The overlay plot is a mock-up I was using while filming to get my bearings (the final edit will have a much nicer plot). Can anyone guess what the video is about?

I'll post a rough-cut as soon as I have one. Feedback will be appreciated.

In other news: March was a busy month of video planning/production; expect a spate soon!

Is it “if you pushed people down a hill, this is how many would likely die at each part of the hill”?

Stuart Ward

Well an exponential function from the numbers above the brown dots, perhaps something astronomical?

Gregor Shapiro

Whatever it is, Y=0 (zero) for X values >144

Sami Reinikainen

Cumulative fatal konjac jelly chokings over time in relation to total population?

Bruce Garner

Something with primes ... 2*3=6 / 6*5=30 / 30*7=210 / 210*11=2310 ... not sure where the 60 or 150 fit in ... 🤔

DrDelvan

Hmm, seems like the green arrows are for some sort of "prime factorial" where instead of multiplying all the numbers from 1 to n you just multiply the primes from 1 to n? 2x3 = 6, 2x3x5 = 30, 2x3x5x7 = 210, 2x3x5x7x11 = 2310.

E425 is european food additive number for konjac, could the video be that you've had a bit much of that?

Paul Walker

Something to do with Kraftwerk?

Jaap van Muijden

I'd love to think floating point math, but I can't figure out how that would tie into anything remotely interesting for people who are not me

Mik Scheper

You're way more of a maths wiz than me! I would never have guessed that!

Mik Scheper

Well, since Daft Punk have broken up, I suppose that must be it! 😁

Bruce Garner

There are 160 markers - which appear to represent even values 2 to 320. The three sets of values 2,8,14,... / 4,10,16,.... / 6,12,18,... are mostly linearly descending (with a small randomness) at least until around 120 (or value 240) ... hmmm ...

Bruce Garner

Using the x axis values the best formula I get is y=-0.05x+7.5 - the three series then hang off that - 1,4,7,... and 2,5,8,... are an average of 0.275 and 0.25 below that and 3,6,9,... series an average of just 0.03 away - at least until around x=120. I can't see any pattern yet in the deviations. The 6, 30, 210 (and 2310) hint at wheel/prime factorisation but can find anything there and 1.74E35 and E425 don't give much away. Looking forward to finding out what this is about ...

Primorial?. IMHO one of the most under-rated aspects of number theory and something that I have long been convinced provides the key to the efficient factorisation of the product of large primes.

DrDelvan

Oh, and turns out that concept is actually a thing! Its called a primorial and is denoted with a # instead of a !, i.e. 2x3 = 3# = 6, 2x3x5 = 5# = 30, etc. (those aren't unique e.g. 6# = 5#) The two brown arrows are both the product of a primorial and one more prime number, but I doubt that's where they're coming from since there'd be a lot more numbers & brown arrows if that's what they signified.
