it still happen right like to understand

it still happen right like to understand that let’s understand what’s motion and

that let’s understand what’s motion and

that let’s understand what’s motion and what’s the complexity of motion at the

what’s the complexity of motion at the

what’s the complexity of motion at the very base of motion is this you know a

very base of motion is this you know a

very base of motion is this you know a thing called a pendulum which is a

thing called a pendulum which is a

thing called a pendulum which is a simple harmonic motion I assure you

simple harmonic motion I assure you

simple harmonic motion I assure you there is nothing simple about it if you

there is nothing simple about it if you

there is nothing simple about it if you don’t trust me please have a look around

don’t trust me please have a look around

don’t trust me please have a look around excuse me are you from our science and

excuse me are you from our science and

excuse me are you from our science and engineering background yeah you look

yeah right so if you are if you add a bit of direction to motion it becomes

bit of direction to motion it becomes

bit of direction to motion it becomes movement when you add a purpose to

movement when you add a purpose to

movement when you add a purpose to movement it becomes transport and when

movement it becomes transport and when

movement it becomes transport and when you aggregate over transport it becomes

you aggregate over transport it becomes

you aggregate over transport it becomes logistics and logistics is pervasive

the next so we’re talking about six

the next so we’re talking about six options at five we are talking about a

options at five we are talking about a

options at five we are talking about a hundred and twenty options right can you

hundred and twenty options right can you

hundred and twenty options right can you take a guess how many options would be

take a guess how many options would be

take a guess how many options would be at just 10 like you know if you had a

at just 10 like you know if you had a

at just 10 like you know if you had a wet you have to distribute wedding card

wet you have to distribute wedding card

wet you have to distribute wedding card to 10 people how many options exist

to 10 people how many options exist

to 10 people how many options exist without like any guesses so he started

without like any guesses so he started

without like any guesses so he started like at one at one it was one at two it

like at one at one it was one at two it

like at one at one it was one at two it was to add three it was six at five it

was to add three it was six at five it

was to add three it was six at five it was 120 how many how many for 10 I can
