Summary
Practice more problem-solving at https://brilliant.org/TedEd—You and the professor have driven your DeLorean back to the past to fix issues with the spacetime continuum caused by your time traveling. But another DeLorean appears with older versions of you and the professor. The professors panic and explain that the universe could collapse now that you’re both in the same time and place. Can you merge the timestreams and travel home? Dan Finkel shows how.Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.This video made possible in collaboration with BrilliantLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnersSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-solve-the-time-traveling-car-riddle-dan-finkelDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-solve-the-time-traveling-car-riddle-dan-finkel#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.artrake.com Music: https://www.workplaywork.comEducator's website: https://mathforlove.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
