This math problem is actually like my trading portfolio, I can start with any number but end at $ 1

Teacher: Why did you not answer the questions on your test. Me: Because the Math is not ripe enough for me to answer these questions
@seanshepherd1071
One of my professors used to put a bonus problem at the end of every single homework or exam: "alternatively, for full course credit and my recommendation for immediate graduation, prove the Collatz Conjecture." Keep on keepin' on Dr. R. Holmes!

Math problem no one can solve: Exists Me: Finally I'm not the only one who is bad at math.

I absolutely love how mathematicians always find the most random things to debate over!

I literally had goosebumps all over the place. Thank you for letting me appreciate the inexplicable beauty of math even more than I already do.

Whoever created all those graph animations is an absolute master in after effects expressions

Me: Where should we eat? Girlfriend: Mathematics is not yet ripe enough for such question
@leebydeeby
My calculus professor just introduced this conjecture to us last week, and ever since then I've been shamelessly addicted to just bringing up a random number generator for a starting point and wasting away the hours.
@ishancollapse2997
i just made an entire python code to test these numbers and started from 2^68 its been 3 days, its still at it

Nice work Soviets. You got me.

I came to this channel 2 years ago with no mathematics knowledge. I am here today, intrigued by our universe, I'm going back to college, and I still love Collatz Conjecture and Fibonacci to help calm me down. As a pharmaceutical technician, thank you.

i wrote this comment to appreciate that those graphs were not just random. There were exact and to the scale.
@Martdogg3000
I like the amount of people who didn't watch the video for even a moment, and are just here talking about how easy it is to solve 3x+1.

@psychee_gd
You could say: In order for the conjecture to converge to infinity, it means that there will have to be a limit to which an odd number will be transformed (through 3x+1) to a number of form 2^n (because when a number is in form 2^n, it will always converge to 1, and/or it is the only way to get to 1) so that after you cross that boundary you would not be able to get back to 1 again. Basically at one point you have to land on a 2^n form number. When plotting 3x+1=2^y, we can observe that the function/curve's values after 0 are not undefined, the function it continues infinitely. Therefore we can say that there is no number (seed) that will never stop growing, because the function 3x+1=2^y then has to have a number that does not obey the expression.
