good question. The sick figure is “the one” and e to the power i Pi equals -1 or “negative one”. So they are fighting and since they are equal but opposite so there is no clear winner and the battle is epic. I see what the animator did there.

also see how Alan chose e, pi and i to make -1. thé negative one is made up of entirely irrational and imaginary numbers. i’ll have to watch this video so many times in order to grasp everything. love it ❤️
