Thanks for sharing:
A few comments:
- The problem is: do any odd perfect numbers exist?
- It's a great video. I don't always like Veritasium, but this was definitely a fascinating one to me. Sometimes, he can be a little bit over-the-top, but here he hyped it without hyping too much.
- At this point in the video it nicely links to the discussion we had yesterday. Fundamental science is hugely important, as illustrated here where number theory had no practical use until its use for cryptography. And without that, there would be no Bitcoin.
- Your link just kept me from doing some fundamental science~~ Please make sure to only link good videos such as this one. With videos, one usually only knows a posteriori if it's been good use of one's time. With text, it's much easier to assess.
