I just watched his WIRED video and he hasn't aged at all in 11 years.
he folded his own genes to prevent aging.
Well your not wrong....
100th like! 💯👍
O.o I saw the wired vid too. legit 8 months ago too.... lol
Is you blind?
This man is a genius. He left his job at NASA to study the maths of origami. He even found out that ANYTHING can be created with origami.
Jabsjetz yea
It's not really as astounding a result as you might imagine. The proof ignores any sense of efficiency and relies on a few very simplistic primitives and triangulation.

tbf, it's a fairly new field of maths. give it some time and it will probably develop into solutions for string theory.

The reason the audience is laughing is:
a) Rob is a funny dude.
b) Sometimes you laugh because you find something overwhelming.
I was asking myself what's funny and everyone laughs, thanks MadDeuce. In fact, I agree
Pseudobulbar affect, like Joker
Eh I thought it was kinda weird and dumb that they were laughing at a lot of stuff that I doubt Robert intended to be funny.
There must be many reasons why people laugh I suppose. My experience has been that [ as is shown so often in the movie ] people laugh when they do not understand what is being said, and feel they must react - so a laugh is often a default strategy to avoid seeming to be stupid.
ORIGAMI MEMES
This was in 2008, the man was ahead of his time.
I think it might have been another reference to the earlier talk on biology and evolution. The word meme was made up by Richard Dawkins in the late 70s. I guess most of the people who use the word don't know they are citing Richard Dawkins.
Godly based before it was cool
He is discovering God's marvelous and astounding thought process!
what would you say about this T.Sundara 'Row'! 1893 - stadt-annaburg.de/cms/uploads/media/tsundararowsgeo00rowrich.pdf ? :)
The advantages of simple origami are twofold.

Hahaha. I laughed so hard at this comment!
I saw what you did there 😀
lol
Wonder if someday he discovers a way to fold space-time, so we can travel unfathomable distances in an instant without moving.
That is a good insight. I also wonder about the potential for this methodology to be applied to other problems.
What you said is actually self-contradictory, the process of folding space-time involves moving, hence you can't travel unfathomable distance without moving.
we might eventually live in a universe thats folded like a black forest cuckoo clock
@@TheJonathankang unless space-time is already folded.
Thank you for this...spicy comment 😎
As a lifelong nerd, this includes two of my all time favourite things: origami and space! Thank you!!!
Guys
Why are you wondering why there’s people laughing
He made jokes during his presentation
I’d be sad for him if nobody laughed
I myself, besides the fact that I was hypnotized by what he was saying, laughed a few times during the presentation
Me too!! The way he explained about how origami has changed was very interesting and useful!! I, myself, am so inspired to use these techniques and ideas to make my own origami creations!!
Totally agree they were mainly laughing when he make jokes I just felt bad when you could hear random laughing in the background when he was showing each piece of origami...he was showing Intricate, really difficult art pieces to create and there wasn’t anything funny about it so idk why would you laugh at that lol
@@katief7047 sometimes people laugh when they are surprised and or amazed ...
i think it also has to do with how origami is commonly known as a very light subject and its described so solemnly by him. i guess it could sound like scientifically describing a childs scirbble
haha
I found this amazing, and uplifting. I teach origami to my 6th grade math students (and we also work at solving the Rubik's cube). I can't help but hope that a few of them will pull together the concepts of both art forms to become tomorrow's innovators, not just consumers.
This is going to be a great video to show to my math class. Those kids struggled through folding a paper crane... maybe this will give them some hope, or at least some perspective. After all, "it's simple!"
one of the best origami masters of the 21st century.
ahhhhh hard to say. He is good, and he "weights" a lot mostly because of treemaker and his book origami design secrets.
Considering his folds, models, wouldnt put him so high.
Shuki Kato, Kamiya Satoshi, Eric Joisel, there are so many great folders, Robert doesent stand out of other 30 greatest by nothing.
Like Eric Joisel stood out for example
President of the 21st Origami, would fit.
@@igorsvacic217 what does weights mean
i used to have an origami busines but it.... folded. ;) j/k
@Mike P ayyy
The laughter come from absolute delight.
I've seen dozens of TEDTALKS and this one is a new favourite! Really amazing possibilities!
@therussiankid hi
the amount of people mad about the laughing in the background is sad, he obviously had sarcastic and funny remarks in his presentation to catch the audiences attention.
Why is anyone defending the audience here?
10:03 wait am I the only one that saw Benjamine Zander in the audience?!?!
I saw him tooo
Who he?
He loved that origami organist
Have you ever been on a stand up comedy show, or any show that make people laugh, or a tv program??..well, they usually hire people to laugh, let say 5 or 6 of them, and they sat them evenly distributively, and there is not just a stupid laugh, it must be natural sound, and that laughter is contagious and so people goes on an laugh together, and the show sounds great because a lot of people is having fun...well some one here fuck up big time, and gave the laughing guys the wrong direction, and end up laughing here in a mathematical origami art speech.
I understand the baseline of the whole presentation and concept. But what I don't understand is why are people laughing about it.
I think it is also funny when repeatly sais that we can dead poeple do our work.
He is funny to nerds. I laughed too
Because the origami sculptures are downright astounding, they don't look real
I laughed at surprise, that I have learned something totaly new.
And yes he is right, in 2017 there is origami engineering, they are inventing multidicipliner tools with huge range, medicine to space. It is saving our lives now.
applies in the are of compliant mechanisms...
look up Robert's book on origami if your interested in learning more!
Which one is that?
origami design secrets
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you!!
"Origami meme"
why don't we teach math the origami way?
Chansophop Kaing i would never feel sleepy in math if that happens
whats with the laughing in the background!. I think this presentation is amazing
To be fair, Feynman is actually funny in lectures.
some laughs, are nervous delight ! they're akin to "ah-HA" moments...
uh, the presenter was being deliberately humorous? i didn't notice any inappropriate laughter... altho the laughing was almost always kinda unnecessary.
Claudius Fanusie they laugh because it IS amazing
They're dumb af nvm
great video, and great presentation. The funny thing is that this video came out in 2008, while the aformentioned James Webb telescope is still being prepared in 2019. The amount of work that it requires though is unbelievable
I gots to get me some of that! Why don't they teach us this in university?
Why do people in the audience keeping laughing at pictures of origami sculptures? Are they that shallow or was this presented to them as funny in some way before the recording takes off? I mean why is an origami sculpture of a carp with scales funny? You have to high on something to be that shallow. Or you have to come to origami as if it were a childlike thing to do. But that is exactly what it isn't according to this speaker. I don't get what is funny about an extremely complicated piece of origami.
You have sensibility and intelligence whereas the bovine herd lack it. They are worthy of the life of their animal counterparts.
10:04 on the right...THATS BENJAMIN ZANDER who did the best ted talk of all times “the transformative power of classical music”
Origami is the one art that has to be understood from both ends at the same time and built towards finishing in the middle.
The folding itself is just a result of the final product. In addition, the restrictive nature is the biggest benefit and allows one to keep focus within the restrictions.
LOL at the Nokia ad.
It's redundant to say that the man is brilliant. And he certainly knew his audience better than they knew themselves.
He also shone a bright light on my humble creative endeavors.
This is absolutely an epic explanation of origami and how it works and how people use it.
That is why most Japanese people are good in mathematics. No wonder Japan is number one in technology.
Impressive to say the least. I have been doing only for a few years now, I still feel I am a beginner at it. Maybe the fact that I am really bad in understanding mathematics would explain why I have hard time at it. Mr Lang is a true master, a visionary and he leads the way, hopefully to a better world where origami and science work together to save humanity's future...✨👌🙇🏻♀️💎
I have only been doing origami for 3 days, and I also feel like a beginner lmaooo
@@tartaglia. Welcome to the wonderful and magic world of origami. The more you fold the best you are going to feel and the more you are going to love it. Good luck👍🏻
Can you make origami of person making origami
The fabric of existence would explode
and now the James Webb Telescope has been launched... crazy
This had the single best ad the best commercial for a phone of its time. I was enthralled excited and full of anticipation when it said the last line at the end welcome to the fourth screen it was amazing
I am sure that someone is looking into this ... But, 4d printing and its application to moving forms .... This come to mind. Fluid in a folded form. Heaters built into the fibers of the paper. The dynamics of both cooperating to created an animate origami bug.
10:04 THAT'S BENJAMIN ZANDER IN THE BACK OMGGG
Ik
I feel sorry for the "thumbs down" folks. Too bad they're running the country at the moment.
9:37 HOLY CRAP THE FOUNDER OF "THE MEME".
The most frustrating thing in the world is to try to fold something, get to like the last step, and then discover that your paper is too thick. Satoshi's ancient dragon and one of Lang's bird from CP. XPP
Raymond Zheng - One thing Robert neglects to mention is that there was a good deal of complex origami before he developed his mathematical system of design, in which the creators did not consciously use mathematics or his Tree Maker program, and in fact some of the best creators in the world still do not consciously use mathematics in designing their models, Satoshi being foremost among them.
Legend seeing in 2022 👍👍👍
Where is his website or where can I find the tree maker program software? Tks

This talk is awesome!
Origami is a very creative method to use mathematics.
It seems to me that sometimes those ppl laugh at inappropriate times but maybe its just me:D Otherwise it was an interesting video.
VERYvery interesting! Just genius...and ultra artistic as well. Wow!
Apparently origamis are the precursors of Transformers.
you are actually spot on here!
I saw this guy live, he's great. He sounded a little more nervous at TED, but hey...
10:51 This guy approves!!
Found it in a Japanese airplane, gonna check out the WIRED video next. A viewer in 2024
Omg - this is the holy grail to save space ! Imma going to start my unicorn company based on this
I cannot even stream a youtube video properly why i am alive i dont know really...
terrapin what
It's not the first time math has been applied to an art and the result being the art opened and become more profound and inspired.
That's why I love origami somehow...
i had to add this to my faves. it was something i never knew and it showed me what origami is...math. its crazy. just awsome
*****
Mumbo jumbo after watching this "it's really quite simple"
Excelente palestra!!!. Aprendi muito.
Where can we learn more about this? I mean the methods, mathematical models, etc. To create your own designs?
Shantanu Awale, A place to start would be the film “Between the Folds”. It is an introduction to computational origami and includes Lang and other top artists and scientists in the field. There are many delights and resources in the film, I’m sure it would help you.
sir please tell where can i learn this in detail ? what books?
Amazing! "Oh world of wonders."
Has any he used the tree maker program I wonder how it will work out
AUSTIN GRAY
Yes, he has used it to make the diablo version of the tarantula as mentioned in the website. I've downloaded it and the circle packing kinda rocks.... a very useful software .
Circle packing = Sacred geometry = Patters for ALL life and existence.
“4 Simple Laws of Origami” bruh I been doing this and I still don’t understand what I’m looking at in those laws
Does anyone know where I can find a video tutorial for how to fold one of those dang crease patterns (made with Treemaker 5)????
I have one right here and I have NO idea what to do with it. Help?
...did anyone actually watch the end..? I thought it was going to be like my parents and say, GO OUTSIDE MORE
I'm confused about the 2nd law. Couldn't I just make an arbitrary number of mountain folds, and have a difference of valley-mountain folds other than ±2?
Two independent persons named Erik Aberg and Chuck Hoberman also have their own interesting origami works.
just think how may TED videos we can watch now :)
omg this wqs years agoooo
4 simple laws of Origami are: Ambitious, Courage, Patience and Stubbornness... (for your future Origamist)
Absolutely amazing! I had a luck to correspond with him regarding the origami algorithm. Dr. Lang helped me to generalize it.
The fact they can conceptualize this on a flat abstract way is insane. If it was me I just crumple and figure things out eventually and then unravel it and that’s my pattern haha.
Insane.
That was incredibly inspiring. I'm definitely going to seek out the literature on the underlying mathematics.
If he is trying to be funny, and I didn’t realize he was, stand-up comedy is not his forte, nor is storytelling
I'm here because I wanna look at anything around me and make it out of a single square sheet of paper
with electrons, protons and neutrons you can build anything in the universe.
reality is an origami #truth
Hey Veritasium viewer! 😄
wow. His ending comment was really deep
@Origamisarah And being funny is certainly not an insult. He can laugh at Roberts jokes and also find the presentation mind-blowing, how come you automatically assume that he is laughing AT Robert? You don't know the person that is laughing at all, and you're already making assumptions!
The event are or have been sponored by BMW.
As chris77777777777 says, ITS BUSINESS.
But if cocacola or mcdonalds showed up there i would be amazed..
There are no seams in the weave of nature - Japanese saying
What if you want to make an aircraft though,I never hear about that type of stuff in origami
Outstanding 👍🇦🇺🌏😎
Robert J Lang is the Reggie of origami
First, everything cannot be created using origami. Our eyesight and brains perceive cleverly folded constructions as other objects, and the more detail and relationships resembling the forms and shape ratios, the more convincing the illusion. We marvel at the sophistication of the artistry, yet the trick being the one sheet starting point is so compelling, no one thinks to demand that the piano figure now play the "Moonlight Sonata." Incredible complexity derives within the narrow limits he describes, around the rules of folding, no layer penetration, etc. Myriad problems that can be addressed with such mathematics are solvable, but beware of making the Elizabeth Holmes leap, to believing and declaring this field holds the solution to sickle cell anemia or homicidal schizophrenia.
Hey Jo! Im really interessed in how you create a model from nothing. Do you use a program tô create the underlining blueprint? I mean the crease patterns when you unfold the model after finished
It's not that you can't possibly do it with no knowledge of theory behind it...what these theories and principles do though is allow computers to calculate some of the hardest problems for you. It allows for extremely efficient ways to create the base so that we can focus more on the artistic details rather than the mathematical part of it all. These complicated models would likely never exist as it would have taken a life time of trial and error to figure out.
really just a beauty parade... look at what I can do everybody.
This Robert J Lang is a genius
Can this apply to recycling newspaper or cardboard for shipping aboard?or other paper products in order to reduce cost. Now I must follow this rabbit into the hole and see where it leads
Yes I was wondering why they were laughing, hes funny but i mean i thought they didnt believe him. Well this was educational though.
but why audience laughted at almost everything!
The same thing happened when the mathematics of how to draw persepective was discovered in the 14th/15th century and was incorporated into art, which suddenly no longer looked flat.
alecbg919 , If you liked the discovery of perspective drawing, you might enjoy the film “Tim’s Vermeer”.
Quotes from Wikipedia entry:
Engineer Tim Jenison “theorizes that Vermeer potentially used a camera obscura to guide his painting technique.”
And “He notes Vermeer's hyper-accurate recreation of diffuse lighting would be impossible to recreate by simple eyesight because of color constancy. He also observes that some of Vermeer's work features chromatic aberration and depth of field, two distinct features of a photographic lens but not of the human eye.”
Both “Tim’s Vermeer” and “Between the Folds” (which features Lang’s work and his students’) are in the category of magnificent obsessions 🤗🙏. In both cases they exemplify what Lang mentioned about the pursuit of depth leading to extraordinary inventions and solutions.
pandemic lets me to study origami
