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.

ted´s intro is sooooo bad mannnn, the content is amazing.
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.
