[00:00:00]Have you seen here, chat, tell me if you've if you know about this or tell Scar if you know about it. Have you seen the video out there that talks about the probability of a deck of cards being in the same order? Have you ever heard about this? No. Cuz if you take a deck if if you take a deck of cards and and you bring it out of its brand new pack, obviously it's all in order cuz that's how it comes off the press. Yeah.

[00:00:23]>> But imagine you play with that cards those those cards for a couple hours or whatever, right? You're just you know, just think of a regular deck of cards that's been mixed up. Uh chances are that in since the in the history of mankind, obviously there's no way to prove this, but from a mathematical standpoint, chances are that whatever order the deck of cards is in in your hands, that that order has never ever existed before. And that's and and this is not in regards to decks of cards that you've held, it's all the decks of cards that have ever existed in in mankind's history. All the casinos, all the houses or whatever. That sounds ridiculous, right? But when you see the the way that they mathematically break it down in regards to the 52 factorial, which is 52 * 51 * 50 * 49 and so on, when you do the math of the 52 factorial, it is so ludicrous that when you when that you can't even get your head wrapped around it, dude. And the way they can play and I'm going to butcher this, but they're like let it's they say it's like this. I want you to imagine you every 1 million years you take a step forward.

[00:01:26]And then you wait another million years and you go like this.

[00:01:29]Another million years and you go like this.

[00:01:32]And then blah blah blah. And you and you you do that until you go all the way around the planet. And when you're all the way around the planet, you deal yourself five cards and you keep doing that process. As soon as you deal the five, if it's a royal flush, great. If it's not, then you you take a step forward and you do it again. And you keep doing that until you finally deal a a royal flush. And when you deal a royal flush, you take a single sheet of paper and you place it on the ground. And you keep repeating that process until that that that the paper goes all the way to the moon. And when it goes all the way to the moon, then you receive you then you like remove a single grain of sand out of the Grand Canyon. Or I'm sorry, you add a single grain of sand into the Grand Canyon. And you do that until the Grand Canyon is filled. It's something I'm butchering it, but it's something like that. And it is it is >> [music] >> it is literally 52 factorial is not large. It is like space. It is is unfathomably large in regards to what that number is. And so I I'm going to send I'm going to send this to you both because that that little animation that breaks down that get they basically takes the math and it gives it a visual representation of what it would mean.

[00:02:37]And the premise being that you'd have to go through all that process until you end up like filling the Grand Canyon or emptying the Pacific Ocean drop by drop or something like that. And only when that happens are you like a third of the way there in regards to how many different combinations that you've you've reached.

[00:02:54]You have to do that whole thing three more times in order to have the same deck of have a deck of cards in the same order twice. Or so it's I'm like I said, I'm butchering it and I guarantee you somebody that has seen it and I'm going to send you the Everybody look that up.

[00:03:05]Look up the 52 factorial video and watch it because it gives the most beautiful visual representation to how vast that math is, dude. It's insane.

[00:03:14]>> Yeah. Yeah, I'll have to watch that.

[00:03:16]Man, I wish orangutans would evolve to build and speak. Can you imagine?

[00:03:21]>> [laughter] >> They can drive. I've seen them drive.

[00:03:22]>> I know, me too. I'm like they're so close. Now, if that's that was an AI video Oh god, they're ruining the orangutan market of videos. I'll tell you that right now. That's stupid AI.

[00:03:32]You You know that golf cart video though where he's driving it around? Do you think that's a real video? I love I I I hope it is. I just feel like an orangutan would be like a really fun hang. Like he's just hanging out. Maybe he's like, "Dude, pass me like the the grapes." And we just have a good time.

[00:03:48]They seem very chill. They do. They do.

[00:03:50]Chimpanzees, they're like the wilder guys. They're they're they're they're If you want to have a party, maybe you hang out with them, you know.

[00:03:57]>> [laughter] >> What? How can I talk about 50 52 factorial and you're talking about orangutans? It's all science. We just want one of them We We're just hoping that they We just want We just want them to evolve faster so they can speak. All right, there. I just sent it to you.

[00:04:12]Trust me when I say I sent it to both you. Trust me when I say that this Don't don't do anything else. Really watch that video. It's a short one, too, but really what not now, but watch it later.

[00:04:21]And I it's I can't watch this thing Every time I watch it I'm I think to myself there's just no way. But the bottom line is when you do the math, when you do the math, it is insane in regards to what that and what 52 factorial is and how large that number is, dude.

[00:04:36]>> I I I want to Yeah, I will watch that. I will watch that.
