Not a very good video. When someone starts saying (about y=p*x) "And even neater, it's kind of telling us the true structure of the universe", **I** know they don't mean it literally. But only because I know mathematics already.
But what about the poor sod that does not have a clue about equations or functions or algebra who is in the target audience for this video? The video is not going to educate them in any meaningful way. It is just confusing to invoke lofty statements about how y=p*x somehow unlocks the secrets of the universe.
Sorry, this video is no good.

True, the video lacks good execution, but the idea it's trying to present still shines through.

“Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes -- I mean the universe -- but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.”
― Galileo Galilei
