The True Spirit of Adventure: The mind knows no limits when used properly. Think of a pentagram, Donald. Now put another inside, a third, and a fourth. No pencil is sharp enough to draw as fine as you can think, and no paper large enough to hold your imagination. In fact, it is only in the mind that we can conceive infinity.
[the infinite progression of pentagrams turns into a hallway of doors]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Mathematical thinking has opened the doors to the exciting adventures of science.
Donald Duck: I'll be doggone! I've never seen so many doors before.
[Runs back and forth from one door to another]
The True Spirit of Adventure: Each discovery leads to many others. An endless chain.
Donald Duck: Hey, hey! What's the matter with these doors? Hey! These doors won't open! They're locked!
The True Spirit of Adventure: Of course they are locked. These are the doors of the future, and the key is...
Donald Duck: Mathematics!
The True Spirit of Adventure: Right. Mathematics. The boundless treasures of science are locked behind those doors. In time, they will be opened by the curious and inquiring minds of future generations. In the words of Galileo, "Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe."

The mind is the birthplace
00:00:02.092 --> 00:00:06.023
for all of man's scientific achievements
00:00:21.032 --> 00:00:24.995
The mind knows no limits when used properly
00:00:25.998 --> 00:00:27.023
Think of a pentagram Donald
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.956
Now put another inside
00:00:32.999 --> 00:00:34.429
A third and a fourth
00:00:34.052 --> 00:00:36.158
No pencil is sharp enough
00:00:36.024 --> 00:00:38.515
to draw as fine as you can think
00:00:38.006 --> 00:00:42.513
And no paper large enough to hold your imagination
00:00:42.006 --> 00:00:44.955
In fact it is only in the mind
00:00:45.999 --> 00:00:48.271
that we can conceive infinity
00:00:48.036 --> 00:00:50.749
Mathematical thinking has opened the doors
00:00:50.084 --> 00:00:53.752
to the exciting adventures of science
00:00:55.036 --> 00:00:57.191
l'll be doggone
00:00:57.028 --> 00:01:00.431
l've never seen so many doors before
00:01:00.052 --> 00:01:03.159
Each discovery leads to many others
00:01:03.024 --> 00:01:05.435
An endless chain
00:01:07.012 --> 00:01:08.997
What's the matter with these doors
00:01:09.084 --> 00:01:13.389
These doors won't open They're locked
00:01:13.048 --> 00:01:14.999
Of course they are locked
00:01:15.998 --> 00:01:17.001
These are the doors of the future
00:01:17.012 --> 00:01:18.999
and the key is
00:01:18.092 --> 00:01:20.399
Mathematics
00:01:20.048 --> 00:01:23.199
Right Mathematics
00:01:23.028 --> 00:01:25.396
The boundless treasures of science
00:01:25.048 --> 00:01:27.999
are locked behind those doors
00:01:27.008 --> 00:01:29.631
In time they will be opened
00:01:29.072 --> 00:01:34.996
by the curious and enquiring minds of future generations
00:01:35.008 --> 00:01:37.087
In the words of Galileo
00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:40.349
mathematics is the alphabet
00:01:40.044 --> 00:01:43.318
with which God has written the universe

Movie Summary
Donald's goes on an adventure in which it is explained how mathematics can be useful in real life. Through this journey it is shown how numbers are more than graphs and charts, they are geometry, music and magical living things.
