EPIC MAD SCIENCE TIME: MICHEL SIFFRE

[pasicam]

you're funny

but not accurate.

You should read better the works

;-)

[MissPopeyes22]

you're hilarious...therefore i subbed

[escibs]

Well spoken, that guy sounds really interesting! Caves are one of the last unexplored frontiers on Earth.

I would bring a lot of blank sheets of paper, enough pens and pencils to last, and a guitar or some other musical instrument. Why do you get to ask but not answer the question? I think you should answer it too. :)

[AdrianneLeighL]

HEY good eye contact! lol jk jk I love your vids! Keep them coming!

[AyeAyeKnowsAll]

That was interesting. You should do more Epic Mad Science Time. If I was to stay in a cave I would have to take my computer, books, movies, several journals, and a case of pens. I would need some sort of power supply. Otherwise, everything I take would useless in the dark.

[pythonfan001]

I'm wondering why he thought to bring silk tights when he was packing for his cave stay.

[Danjimiscool]

Alot of paper, a set of pens then maybe my guitar. Think it certainly would be darkness album.

[mikedelgado8888]

I would bring my My ipod with never dieing power supply,a dog,and a book

[Voldey]

I'd imagine that you'd lose all perception of time if you were stuck underground for days on end.

[thecolormaria]

i'm pretty sure i've trained myself to completely ignore the sun and have adapted to a 28 hour day schedule thing.

my three things would be: my brother, laptop with wireless internet abilities aaand one of those stupid kindle things so i could read limitless amounts of books.

[kimberkali77]

what are the origins of your accent? it is absolutely fabulous!

[MaLaBrianna]

the 1 person who disliked this needs to be put in a cave for 2 months...

[sismian]

I would do this, I have a soft sot for vegeterian cave men with a taste for apples, oh, and books. 'Soon come' as ragga man would say :)

[nerdfighterbakergirl]

My Kindle and charger, assuming there was "magical cave electricity", my iTouch and earbuds and charger and WiFi, and a TV (with cable, of course). I'm also assuming thati would be provided with human essentials and fresh air and SOME light with which to see and a toilet. This video was very interesting. Thanks, Robyn!

[jesse1234567891011]

if i somehow have power in the cave i bring a treadmill so i can run and not get lost i bring a Kendell and its charger and last i would bring ball either a tense or a bouncy one so i can hit it on a wall and catch it

1. An iPad with as much music and as many books and photos as I could jam into it.

2. My nifty little hand crank powered charger/flashlight/alarm thingie that my Mom got me for my car... it charges almost anything and has zillion charger adapters that come with it. I love it.

[HPPirates]

That was a really cool video :]

1. A guitar to create songs with when I get bored :|

[emmfan09]

I love this segment! I've never heard of Michel Siffre, and clearly he's done a lot of cool work. I'm amazed I never learned about him last year in my psychology class when we talked about sleep cycles. Also, Playlist Live <33333

[djstraathof]

More mad science time!

[hopeonatenspeed]

let's adventure in a cave together sometime.

[itsmekatieannd]

Since there wouldn't be time indicators, a laptop would be out of the question. So I would bring:

1) A deck of a cards

2) The Harry Potter series (I have been meaning to read them)

3) My book with all of the Brothers Grimm stories.

[dailychores]

Assuming there is no electricity:

1. Sketchbook w/ pencil

2. Harry Potter book set

3. Puzzle book (with Sudoku or crosswords)

[LookaLike1995]

1. Laptop with Internet

2. Books

3. Michael Cera(; Lol.

[tetsubo57]

Caves are cold. The tights were to keep warm.

I sleep during the days normally. I am nocturnal by nature and work nights. It does occasionally have adverse effects on my sleep cycle. Every Friday I stay up for 26 - 30 hours. You get used to it.

1) Sketch pad and sketching instruments. 2) MP3 player & charger. 3) iPad with reading material & charger if needed.

[JoyHeartsYou]

1. My guitar.

2. My mp3 player.

3. A means by which to charge my mp3 player.

[elizziebooks]

Assuming that there is no electricity in a cave:

1. a slinky

2. Scrapbooking materials and all of the pictures that have just been shoved into boxes over the years.

3. some sort of handheld gaming device. I'm sure I could make it last a long time by only playing for about 10 minutes and turning down the brightness. ^_^

[SincerePraise]

1. Television

2. Laptop with internet

3. Kindle

[coolstream1]

Laptop with internet access.... I don't need anything else!

[TheGeekyGecko]

1. Laptop with internet access.

2. Complete works of Jane Austen

3. My DS with games

[jackandjuice]

Also, more Epic Mad Science Time plz.

[jackandjuice]

I was almost sure the quotation that began with "it is dark" was going to contain the phrase "you are likely to be eaten by a grue".

[anosmicaussie]

1: my ukulele and some music books to learn songs from (that could be two things, if so, then take off number three from this list).

2: my iPad, so I could have books, music and some movies, too.

3: a big biology textbook, so that I could learn more about biol.

(I like to learn, obviously)

[dhaddox]

Society may have one time had to conform to the earth, but it has long since ceased doing so. Our environmental system now includes near outer space with the goal of colonising other planets. On a superficial note, this hairstyle makes your eyes look crazy, however deceitfully because you are wonderful.

[TriniPanini]

My Ipod

A kindle with loads of books

A computer with Internet!

:)

[iluvpprtowns]

I would bring a John Green book, my laptop, and a wireless thingy to get internet.

[imACrAzYinsanePERSON]

a tablet (like an i pad with a lot of books)

a pencil and a LOT of paper

and if you don't count the pencil a laptop or something that can store and play videos (with out internet of course)

[bethanytheravenclaw]

a kindle (with hundreds of books already on it)

my ipod

my laptop (with a rocketstick so i could use it)

[aquatius5]

We studied Siffre in Psychology. He's a pretty cool guy.

[AdamOnlineXII]

Okay your hair is ridiculously pretty. - So are you actually.

I'm gay, no hetro.

Unrelated comment is unrelated.

[homefreylf]

1) a kindle with many books on it (even though I am generally opposed to them, this seems like a circumstance where it would be useful)

2) sketch pad and pencils/pens (I'm not much of an artist, but it helps pass the time)

3) Ipod and charger (this one needs no explanation)

I would love to bring my computer so i could have internet and watch videos, but I feel like the wifi might not be so good in a cave...

[xperpetualmotion]

Wow, fasinating. I can't wait to see you next week!

[OreoSaysHello]

youtube

a camera

the Harry Potter series

[madison1150]

1) a candel because fire is fun (lol, I'm such a pyro)

2) playing cards

3) a coffee machine and everything else needed to make coffee

I would then spend the next two months jacked up on coffee and playng solitair when I get bored of trying to light the candel with my mind. lol=)

[zuthaltor]

1. My computer

2. internet

3. power

and if perhaps i am aloud to cheat two of those into a single item, I would likely bring the 2011 white pine book collection, although i would be likely to burn hearts at steak relatively quickly.

[pleasegivemeacookie]

1: photo's of people I love.

2: Notebooks (and pencils...)

3: an I-pod or phone with music or voices on it, that I sometimes turn on to hear someone/thing.

[ThomasWadeFraser]

1. Youtube

2. Decks of cards

3. The Royal Road to Card Magic

(I am a professional magician and I need the practise)

[thomasdoranbbz]

Hmmm, I'd probably go for:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, just because I can read it over and over and never get bored;

A Spot of Bother, for the same reasons as above;

and my iPod, although it would run out quickly so I'd probably bring another book.

[BlackettChris]

This story says something about the bitter irony of fears. Afraid of being forced to spend his entire life in as part of a society confined to caves as a result of nuclear exchange, Michel Siffre chooses to spend a great portion of his life in solitude in caves, totally cut off from the world he wanted to experience in the first place.

It also says that students who stay up for a straight day to write dissertations aren't that unnatural

[RowlfWannabe]

1)An iPod with all of Mahler's symphonies on it

2)The biggest set of Lego's currently sold

3)A hackey sack.

[AnAbundanceOfKathryn]

1. Books 2. A lamp 3. Food & water

[TGTSNBN]

I love circadian rhythm studies.Great video!

[creativeguitar35]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I've always been really curious about where your accent is from...

[shecaptain]

I'm not going to answer this question because caves scare the crap out of me so I would avoid the situation at all costs.

[rosesofsunshine3]

2 really large books and papers/pen.Or 1 large book & a pen if it counts as a third item. Unless, of course, I could get electricity from a generator. I'm guessing the head probes got power from somewhere?Then I'd definitely bring my laptop as 1 of the items because I could read & write, listen to music, play games, watch previously downloaded videos, etc... (I'm assuming there's no internet in this deep dark cave)

In his defense, I think we'd all be pretty stunned if we got struck by lightning

[Twisterx76]

Pillow, Bed, and Sketch Pad.

[penguin112493]

I would bring my laptop, my ukulele and a copy of Knightley Academy ;)

[FudgePop101]

The tardis, equipped with doctor and companion.

[TommyKStudios]

i heard your British accent pop up a lot

[SplashRange]

great video! very entertaining

[iraqilemonade]

3 thinmints

[orealcookie1989]

A sonic a tardis and you!

[Tuawta]

Assuming that it is an experiment in the lack of external forces. Such things as internet, another person, electronic devices, and all of modern societies 'necessities' would be forbidden. Therefore a book, a flashlight with a hand cranked generator and rechargable batteries, and some sort of chalk. Most other items would taint the experiment. Even these few could be used to mark the passage of time and void the findings.

[mayandarko]

i guess... computer, guitar, His Dark Materials box set? (any long & interesting book series would work, especially HP, i just chose this one b/c it's been a while since i read it.)

[Rawr02277]

A 7x7 cube (the next one I need to buy and learn)

Harry Potter book set, yell if my whole book shelve counts as one thing then that

and well a person lol as non social as I am I need someone!

[Cophenalypse]

Your accent make me so happy. It sounds like it's a mash of a couple natural accents and it's awesome. :D

This is a fantastic video and general idea. I'm so very happy that you did this, it's REALLY interesting and thank you so very much for giving me this information. <3 The last bit of this video was really beautiful. Thanks for your thoughts.

I adore that you said "entertainment" because that means I don't have to think practically.

1) Slaughterhouse-Five

2) A large note book

3) A pen

[fantasticmrmatthew]

Disney world, a self charging computer, and my house with wifi! I'm all set!

[MajorNSG]

i would take:

1) a book

2) lots of papers and pens

3) cards

[TessieTee]

Assuming there is wifi and electricity,

1) My violin

2) My laptop

3) M y ipod

[ThePlatypodes]

1) My running partner cause she and I have keep each other sane on long runs, so I have faith in her for longer.

2) A deck of playing cards. I love card!

3) Tons of paper and ink so I can doodle and she can write.

The part that amazes me is that the sleep cycle got longer I would have bet the cycle would shrink. The idea of handling 48 hour days is wacky. Even the sleep part I love is hard to do more than 14 hours at a time.

[peteisgod66]

Nook, iPod and a flashlight

[Sameyach]

Laptop, cell phone, and THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Esoccer17]

1. a book i wouldnt mind reading over and over

2. my ipod, i need music..

3. do people count? I would get sooo lonely if I didnt have a least one person with me

[asessed]

Guitar, rubik's cube and AWESOME (obviously)

[MusicalSilenced]

if i say xbox, (console, control, wires, n all) :P

a tv

a box of games.

...assuming there's electricity.

[doubleAAbattery7]

I would bring a book, obviously, though which one I'm not sure. One that I could read many times.

A notebook and pen so I could write my stories.

And cards, so I can play whatever games I want.

[KairosOfKhador]

1.A good book

2.a dog for companionship and defense

3. Some type of food supply prolly lots of water and freeze dried food

What too serious lol XP

[sequenceofletters]

I would bring books, music, and the internet. Does that count?

[sequenceofletters]

This is really interesting. My psychology book says that humans naturally have a 22 to 23 hour sleep cycle. I'll ask my teacher about that.

Also, that quote was amazing. (And more importantly, is it possible to hear the sentence "If your light goes out, you're dead" without imagining that there were weeping angels in that cave with him?)
