Adam Savage walks through two spectacular examples of profound scientific discoveries that came from simple, creative methods anyone could have followed — Eratosthenes’ calculation of the Earth’s circumference around 200 BC and Hippolyte Fizeau’s measurement of the speed of light in 1849.
whoever is reading this I think I just solved the problem of 3D collision systems and rays, his solution is brilliant
I find few things more enjoyable than listening to nerds being nerds. This was awesome.
That was indeed a thought provoking speech!
Great talk, thank you Adam Savage!
“We are all bags are meat and water. We all start with the small tools.” “They changed the world and so can you”
the quality of ted-ed videos 10 years back are the same as of now
Genius
Very nice speech.
I really enjoyed the nice stories in science and seeing the beautiful cartoons that made the ideas so clear.
POV : you came here because your teacher made you
Wow so genius! I got some smart lessons from here which match with myn'e 😇

here he wanted to calcaulate how much time does it take to rotate the gear one tooth only
it is inaccurate to calacalute only one teeth
so he measure the number of rotations per time then convert it to number of teeth per time
for example 50 rotations per 10 second, it will be 2000 teeth per 10 second ( if they gear has 40 teeth)
which the time to rotate the gear only one theeth is 10/2000 second
and it is the time the light takes to go to the mirror and back and hit the next teeth
and then caculate the speed= distance/ time
by equations
rotations/ time
teeths/time
flip
time/ one tooth= time for the light to back and forth and hit the next tooth
then 2distance/time
The previous generation had such a great observation power
They made internet without using internet
Meanwhile me : couldn't make Maggie without using the internet ( YouTube)
Google ruining our capabilities of thinking & creating things/ solve problems by our own
If you was my science teacher then now I may be not a humanities student. 🙁
Hmm what is the contribution of discovering that light has speed?
Oohh
how can I submit my idea of time travel idea, I know how to travel in time, please response
As a wise man once said do your own reasarch

shoutout to the cameraman, ik what im saying, after watching a horrible filmed speech on TED about myths of evolution
Hiiiiiii
Can u pls try creating a metal heart which has all attributes of a normal human heart so we can live forever just my crazy idea lol

Question for everyone :- What is the message of this video?
Although we are lucky enough to be born in a transistor world sometimes I think I would miss those simpler times where everything has curiosity and a need to be found in this complex realm it would be a bliss.
He speaks horrible fast !
…
these people figured out: how big the earth is. What gravity is, and what inertia is…
While I can't even figure out 1+1 🤓👏👍🏻
pov: you're watching this for an English class
