Can I just ask you a question? Because we saw your guitar floating around in space there. What happened to that guitar? Where is it? Because that is a remarkable and unique guitar. It's a Canadian guitar made by Larry Vay by John Larry Veo in Vancouver.

I was really pleased to find it on board the space station. It had been up there since 2001. It has had 70,000 world tours! That guitar has been around the world seventy thousand times.

That your guitar, is it still up? No, it belongs to the space station and it's been up there, and it's still up there now. It is part of our psychological support, and it stays up on station for all the guitar astronaut musicians.

Well, we knew that both you and Kevin are guitar enthusiasts, so we asked you to bring your guitar. And Kevin has his here, and we're hoping that... Right, alright, let us through to the commercial.

We're back with more of the show, but for now, we want to listen to something. And I want to hear you say something: The food is monotonous, there's nothing to drink, and chicks don't come here. What? You sit there, but I fire the rockets.

That is a blast! Throw out the dishes, and I never cut the grass 'cause I'm here, I'm on top. Tired taking the time, get back; got the world on a string. It's people.

Second partial derivative test

In the last video, we took a look at this function ( f(x, y) = x^4 - 4x^2 + y^2 ), which has the graph that you’re looking at on the left. We looked for all of the points where the gradient is equal to zero, which basically means both partial derivatives …

Angular motion variables

Things in the universe don’t just shift around; they also rotate. And so what we’re going to do in this video is start to think about rotations and rotational motion. I’m intentionally continuing to spin this because I find it hypnotic. But the question i…

Charlie Munger: We're Playing With Fire (Interview)

Reading Habits of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger

You know, I obviously recommend, first and foremost, “The Intelligent Investor,” with chapters 8 and 20 being the ones that you really should read. All of the important ideas in investing really are in that book because there are only about three ideas, a…

Are We Alone?

Some of them very likely have planets, and therefore I can imagine civilizations immensely beyond the capabilities of our own. NASA just announced the discovery of 500 new planets; they’re all orbiting other stars. Our place in the universe is relatively …
