00:19

What is the best kind of cheese to use to catch a bear?

00:25

Someone knows over here?

00:28

Obviously, the answer is "come here bear."

00:30

Camembert!

00:32

(Laughter)

00:33

Camembert!

00:34

(Applause)

00:37

Thank you.

00:39

I have a head full of cheese puns,

00:42

but I was told I had to keep it 'brie'-f.

00:46

(Laughter)

00:48

What did the piece of cheese say

00:51

when it looked into the mirror?

00:57

No. It said, "Halloumi."

01:00

(Laughter)

01:02

Hello me!

01:04

What can I say guys? I love a good pun.

01:09

Why?

01:13

I don't know;

01:14

because puns are funny, right?

01:18

Why?

01:19

Well, because there is a bit of a surprise factor.

01:22

You feel outsmarted for a second until you get the double meaning.

01:27

Why?

01:29

Because that's the way language works.

01:34

OK. I get what these slides are doing.

01:37

They're playing the why game

01:40

where you keep asking, "Why, why, but why?"

01:43

after everything someone says.

01:45

Kids do it all of the time

01:48

and adults should do it more often.

01:53

I'm just kidding. Don't. It's annoying.

01:55

(Laughter)

01:58

You can ask why, over, and over, and over again for ever,

02:02

even if one day, we explain

02:05

every physical interaction, and scientific law,

02:07

and hope, and dream, and regret with a single elegant equation.

02:12

You could still ask, "Why? Why that equation?

02:17

Why doesn't the universe operate with some different equation?"

02:22

So, yes; the why game is irritating, it's annoying,

02:27

and it's what I do for a living.

02:30

Every week, for the past few years,

02:32

I have researched a big question, a funny why question.

02:37

I've researched the science's, the mathematics’s recent theories

02:40

behind all kinds of things.

02:43

I do this on my YouTube channel: Vsauce.

02:47

So, Vsauce, in the last couple of years, has grown phenomenally.

02:51

It's hard to believe.

02:53

I'm now doing more than 30 million views every single month,

02:57

with five and a half subscribers

02:59

growing more than 10,000 new subscribers every day.

03:04

It's awesome. I love it.

03:06

I get to ask some pretty ridiculous questions.

03:10

For instance, "Is anything real?"

03:14

Come on! How can you possible answer that?

03:17

Well, that's not really the point.

03:19

The point is to bring people in with a great question,

03:22

make them curious, and once they're there,

03:24

accidentally teach them a whole bunch of things about the universe.
