The bubble that breaks maths.

If you're near Leeds, check out Maths City! https://mathscity.co.uk/

Against my better judgement, here is all the terrible python code I used to find the cosh curves. https://github.com/standupmaths/bubbl...

The Goldschmid point is at 0.5276973967

The working out steps I skipped are on the MathWorld Minimal Surface of Revolution page. https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Minimal...

And as you may have noticed, the laser video with Seb is not out yet. I think it's going to trail this one by quite a while.

Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters funded this video. Normally I would just visit a maths museum and have a fun day out. But thanks to you all, I was able to hire a camera person to follow me around. Plus I did a day of prep-work writing code before my visit and a day of generating plots after the visit. That's thanks to Patreon. (Who am I kidding; I would have done the coding and plots anyway.)   / standupmaths
