Rieman Hypothesis; Monty Hall Problem & Marilyn vos Savant; Aquaculture (Fish Farming)


Here is the description of the video: “The Riemann hypothesis is the most notorious unsolved problem in all of mathematics. Ever since it was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859, the conjecture has maintained the status of the "Holy Grail" of mathematics. In fact, the person who solves it will win a $1 million prize from the Clay Institute of Mathematics. So, what is the Riemann hypothesis? Why is it so important? What can it tell us about the chaotic universe of prime numbers? And why is its proof so elusive? Alex Kontorovich, professor of mathematics at Rutgers University, breaks it all down in this comprehensive explainer.”

I learned this concept in one of my math classes a couple of semesters ago. I believe this is a very detailed and accurate video that may help you understand something new or clarify a subject in your math classes.



For this next video, I selected the Monty Hall problem. I first heard about it at a statistics conference. At the time, the explanation for the solution was very confusing to me. I decided to research a little and found this video. If you are like me and like complex puzzles, I suggest you pause the video around 1:32 to try the problem out yourself. After that, remain open to the possibility of being wrong and listen carefully to the explanation. Please note that the end of the video is an advertisement for the channel’s sponsor.


After quite a bit of thinking, here is a more relaxing video that simply explains advances in farming technologies. Here is the video’s description: “Did you know that aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector In the world? This is as a result of seafood being one of those rare types of food that is very useful to humans and at the same time easily scalable in production. With the help of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence and microscopic fungi, almost every country with access to the sea will be able to completely solve the issue of its own seafood shortage. And today we will look at exactly how advanced technologies will help feed the entire planet. People have been going to the sea for food since ancient times. In the last century, fishing has become so widespread that hundreds of marine life species have become endangered. Thus, according to The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, more than 90 species of fish, including sharks, rays, and other cartilaginous fish, are at risk in European waters alone. As Nicholas Dulvy, a marine ecologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, points out "There's been no effective movement on fisheries management in the Mediterranean in the last decade". To make matters worse, different countries have various fishing laws and what is prohibited in one country may easily be allowed in another. This results in fishing boats being able to catch even illegal fish species and simply sell them on another market.”
