I used to think that making these videos would take like 50 takes at least to make it flow perfectly without a hiccup..... He just did that whole speech without a single verbal fumble. Legend.
This really proves that he really understands what he's talking about, not just reading a script in the back of the camera. And sure, he really did the research before delivering any video.
digbloopers wow some people on RUclips are so dense lol he's not taking a position against learning at all.He made a joke and you took him seriously and the funny part is that the comment was SOO old and you still replied to it... Honestly would you react that way if we were all in the same room and this conversation was actually happening out loud? Or would you act like a normal person and realize that he's not serious and not be such a killjoy?Go outside
VSauce is my favorite youtube science channel because of the way Michael approaches everything. No matter how obvious the title's answer may seem to me. I am guaranteed to learn something I've never known.
This live presentation is really a proof that he is naturally an amazing person, there were no video editing or effects involved here, but he still amazed us.
2:21 gr8 b8 m8 I r8 8/8. Sorry, I couldn't miss the opportunity. On a serious note, I love Michael's work, he's a brilliant speaker and a great person in general. I'd love to meet him one day.
Holy crap, how have I not discovered this wonderful man after being on the internet for 6 years? Judging from some of the comments which I thought made sense but weren't agreeable with his calculation on the "weight of a video", I still think it's useful information nonetheless. Even if he were incorrect, the fact that such a philosophical question facilitated a discussion is fantastic because everyone can benefit from it simultaneously. Before this video, I wouldn't even have known that you can actually calculate something that isn't physically present, if you get what I mean. That itself is already fascinating and I love how he draws audiences in by arousing their curiosity which is darn smart - The world needs more educators like him. The current focus in the education system in my opinion isn't so much focused on getting children to learn because we're curious individuals but because we want a stupid distinction on a test paper. I think it's sad like that because if we're constantly drilled into the head that, that's all learning is about - getting an A for an examination - then it already defeats the true purpose of learning. It also teaches kids that learning happens only when you're at school and that it isn't a lifelong process, which is not the case. I'm glad he's on RUclips to properly educate people, not that the education system is doing it 100% wrong, I just don't see eye to eye with their current focus.
Peator Pan Everybody is smart, including you! It's just that some of us probably need more incentives/stimulation & the right environment to make that obvious :D
It's so awesome to see that Michael is as good of a public speaker as he is a presenter on a RUclips video. He can totally hold his own and act like we all know and love him without any cuts and edits. :)
I always wondered whether or not Michael had a script in his vsauce videos as he never says 'uhm', having said it just once in this video, I'm convinced he's a truly brilliant man capable of teaching us things without hesitating. Great work!
Been following Vsauce near to it's inception and can say that, even though I've never met or spoken to anyone at Vsauce, I feel immense pride in Michael to be talking so intelligently and so passionately at none other than a TED lecture. Keep going dude. And as always, thanks for being awesome.
Been a HUGE fan of Vsauce since Michael had like 100K subs and I've subscribed to every new Vsauce since then. I enjoy them all and I've watched every video they've ever made. Michael is truly inspirational and I will always watch your videos for as long as you make them. Thanks for the great content!
I respect and admire Michael's dedication to educating us all in a fun and interesting way. I wish I could meet him. Maybe some day he will visit Norway.
I feel so proud of him for reaching this far with turning on our curiosity about stuff that we, on a day to day basis, take from granted while teach and amaze us with his researches. You're amazing Michael, keep it up! :)
Come on you guys this video literally made me have to carry like 0.000000000000000007 grams of weight every day I carry my laptop, that gotta be like, at least 1 small calorie/century if i walk like a mile a day with it.
So happy to see that Vsauce is doing so well! Amazing TEDTalk; you're fantastic at public speaking! Thanks so much for putting the work into making us videos!
Michael you are awesome! I am a math teacher and I am regular follower of your videos. I am currently teaching 40 students Math class in Fairfax, and I make them watch your educational videos every week. I think you are doing a great job and I want to congratulate you for being on Ted. I hope for you to continue doing this great work and keep us updated and educated. Thank you very much.
Michael, congratz on making a TED video. I love TED! My 7 & 11year old children and I recently found your channel and are voraciously watching all of your videos. We can't get enough. Thanks for your work and keep them comming!
So, based on the fact that 1 minute of video weighs 10 to the negative 19, or 0.0000000000000000001 grams, could you take an empty 100TB HDD, weigh it, fill it up with hours and days of videos, weigh it again and see a measurable difference on a scale? Or, to rephrase, how large, in terms of storage capacity, would a HDD have to be, for us to measure actual weight of data, whatever this might be, using an ordinary, albeit very precise, scale?
+alxcsb Data stored is just the product of a particular arrangement within a solid state device, consisting of bits that are determined to be either a 1 or 0. An analogy would be a bunch of coins with either heads facing up or tails up. If you flip a few coins you have changed the data (downloaded the video), but you still have the same amount of coins that still weigh the same and even have the same relativistic weight as they still have the same energy. What happened is it took energy for you to flip the coins, this would be analogous to the energy that comprises the "weight of the video". In the computer that energy is dissipated as heat and thus power is consumed.
wait i thought the only tedx talk he did was the "what are questions" one. can't believe there is another one and i'm finding that out only 10 years later
This kinda bugs me, because he is measuring the transmission weight, not the video weight, which could infact be negative with respect to the device that is storing the information. In the same way that a blank punch card weighs more than a punch card with holes in it. Now to make a fair comparison, we need to talk about the proportion of the hard drive or the memory card that is being used to store the video.
well, at least he made me think about it and want to understand it better. Most people can't even understand that data weighs (or that it's actually physical, it has a body)... And that's the point that Michael wanted to make. If you know how to talk, and how to get the attention of people, you can "accidentally" teach them something. Most people these days avoid education, they are "too cool for school". What he is doing is teaching us a way to get people interested and encourage even the most ignorant of people to learn new things.
His pace and emphasis is nearly the same as in his vsauce videos, like when he makes that pause before "green" 3:25 ^^ It instantly reminded me of the video and I didn't think he would be the same in a live speech.
Been a HUGE fan of Vsauce since Michael had like 100K subs and I've subscribed to every new Vsauce channel since then. I think I'm subscribed to just about every channel shown on the screen. I enjoy them all and I've watched every video they've ever made. Michael is truly inspirational and I will always watch his videos for as long as he make them. Thanks for the great content! And as always, thanks for reading!
Michael must be the most funnyiest way to learn. I mean, like other teachers at school, Michael makes it fun learning. Something that the teachers on my school never EVER would'a have accomplished. And thats why I think Vsauce is so popular.
It seems it was jst yesterday when he was amking hei frist youtube video.. and look at hime now... in TED and all... I´m getting teary eyed. They grow up so fast....
Normally I would say that this is RUclips not a spelling competition but here this is an intellectual video, spelling mistakes do count. Thank you for fixing the errors to those people who can't spell.

Vsauce cant believe nobody noticed

Vsauce This isn’t a real Vsauce video. It doesn’t have moon men.
Damn. Fourth comment. 😁
Hey Michael!VSauce here!
Nope. But on the plus side, you got to see my legs!!
Vsauce it's weird ...
Vsauce, can't believe i wasn't able to watch this until 2018.
Vsauce But we didn’t get to hear moon men
PewDiePie doesn't have legs
I had already seen them.
Love how he said, "Thanks for watching." Even though it wasn't a video. Awesome
But they were watching hahah
Or was it?
@@sveinungj or were they?
or was it?
or is it?
I know this is morbid, but I hope Michael's last words are: "and as always, thanks for watching"
I don't know how to react to that 😮
Oh god
Chowder12345able me neither
and realizing that your life is actually a part of vsauce's video
Or : "as I said before, I didn't order shrimp".. hm.. I'm going with your suggestion.
"Every week"

It has been a 2 month+++ dry spell...
"A really nice resolution, 720p" Remember when 720p was nice?
Actually now it's nice too. In that moment was perfection.
1:16 Michael's desperate real life version of saying 'background music turns on'.
I knew I'd find a comment about this haha! I'd probably die of laughter if it actually played.
I used to think that making these videos would take like 50 takes at least to make it flow perfectly without a hiccup..... He just did that whole speech without a single verbal fumble. Legend.
This really proves that he really understands what he's talking about, not just reading a script in the back of the camera. And sure, he really did the research before delivering any video.
"I weigh about 190 pounds, how much will the video weigh?"
what drugs are you on
That is a totally normal question while you are not
more like you're the on who's on drugs. you don't really understand his point of making learning into something actually *fun*
digbloopers it's a joke from two years ago homie lol lighten up
idc. I just don't appreciate people who are against other people that are into learning.

So last week I see Michael on the discovery channel. This week I see him on TED.
Congrats Michael, you deserve it all
YEs. Every week Michael.
Nice profile picture (4 years late, apparently)
Teded after posting a video with Micheal in it: *STONKS*

A very nice resolution, 720p.
Me: OK
When he said "but how much does the video weigh?" I expected that Vsauce music to start playing
1:12 the music should’ve started to play smh
Michael you are the best. Your ideas and videos should be shared all around the world!!!!
and as always, thanks for watching.
Absolutely love VSAUCE and Wow really big accomplishment to talk on ted. Great Job Michael.
Come on you guys this video literally made me have to carry like 0.000000000000000007 grams of weight every day I carry my laptop, that gotta be like, at least 1 small calorie/century if i walk like a mile a day with it.
Maybe a tenth of a quatrillionth of a calorie in a millenium
I love TED and I love V sauce. So it was great to see Michael on TED! Great job Michael. Thanks for posting!
Whoa, I didn't know Michael was on a Ted-Ed video?? Vsauce will soon take over the entire internet.
So happy to see that Vsauce is doing so well! Amazing TEDTalk; you're fantastic at public speaking! Thanks so much for putting the work into making us videos!
what about in a nutshell?
Thanks for putting out such awesome content!
How much will the video weigh? Totally waiting there for the music to come in
ifkrrrrrrr
Yes! Very good! I couldnt choose from one of your videos on a TED talk, all of them are just awesome! Yes!

how much RUclips weights???

Yeah I get that, and it just bugs me, it dose not make it all bad.
As always, thanks for making such videos.
this the same guy from FilthyFrank's Human Cake
ikr
man, he is so professional but at the same time so cool and funny!
If there are 123,000,000 some videos on RUclips, RUclips weighs around 1-2 nanograms. *Bows* U welcomz
Maybe a lil more
@VSauce So awesome to see you on TED Michael!
I love how Michael is casually explaining his clickbait techniques and no one really cares. That's how good his channel is.
congrats Micheal...I honestly wish that you host every TED talk
More like every 3-4 weeks now.
Greer Fried If only. Now it’s like every 10-16 eons.
A great educator inspires people! Thank you for having a noble mission to brighten humanity Michael!
the clickbait scientist
Michio Kaku and Michael of Vsauce are good science explainer that public people would want hear. theyre not boring but exciting, amazing to listen to
Micheal is such a great public speaker. It's almost impossible to not be engaged in what he's saying
His pace and emphasis is nearly the same as in his vsauce videos, like when he makes that pause before "green" 3:25 ^^ It instantly reminded me of the video and I didn't think he would be the same in a live speech.
I wish I had a teacher as great as Michael...

I've subscribed to vsauce for 4 years and it makes me happy that he's grown so much
As Always Thanks for Making
Normally I would say that this is RUclips not a spelling competition but here this is an intellectual video, spelling mistakes do count. Thank you for fixing the errors to those people who can't spell.
I think this is easily the most watched video in TEDEd talks.
Nice job Michael! Keep it up!
My two favourite things, Vsauce and TEDtalks, have combined!!! YAY!!!
They were way under-appreciative on the applause. His channel is incredible.
Haha at around 1:19 when he asked the question , I was expecting the DONG sound that gets played whenever he asks a question in his videos
Well done, Michael, congratulations !
A typical Vsauce episode as TED talk, great!
When he said “how much does a video weigh” music starts playing in my head
He still managed to get in the "and as always, thanks for watching"
This guy really needs his own Television show!
Great video! I learn something every time I watch a Vsauce!
I thought the bottom half of him was like a computer with spider legs. Then it would make sense that he can keep all that info.
Man this guy sure knows how to switch a topic smootly
Another important factor is that the presenter has to have a likeability factor which he oozes of. Love all these channels
Great talk Michael!
I'm definitely a fan of Michael and all the Vsauce channels
"And as always, thanks for watching."
Kickass how he said that.
