  • i wonder if those number-shapes are archetypal or subjective to just him?

  • i used to do this as my work, then i tok an arrow to the knee

  • That's the reason why asians will dominate the world, americans are too stupid and russians too retarded.

  • OMG!!I wish i could do calculations like that in my maths exam....This Japanese kid is AMAZING!!

  • 2+2x2? :))

  • @ 6:47 What a fucking nerd. Lmao

  • no life asians are no lifes

  • "There's a difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something"-Richard Feynman

    I remember being trained on the abacus by my Turkish math teacher, I willfully quit and remained ignorant, personally i find that the freemasonry mathematical concepts will serve us best, simple whole number harmonics and music theory

  • would be nice if i learned it like those japanese kids...

  • some university cant afford a ti-83

  • Lol thats nothing... search "Human Calculator" and its the first one...

  • I wish that I had learn math like the japanese kids did. Seems more natural than just use a calculator.

  • scientist says "bullshiting"... how unprofessional

  • @j2xdude and " legit"

  • This is so stupid, why are they training that hard for something calculators will always be able to do better? They should be studying medicine or something

  • @jccarbunkle He's not training, he's a savant, which is a rare condition in which people with developmental disorders have one or more areas of expertise, ability, or brilliance that are in contrast with the individual's overall limitations.

    He is good at calculating because he's a savant, not because he trains. Math is important, don't dismiss it so easily.

  • Does tht not give de chinese ocd or sometin?

  • 2:18 looks like as if daniel was peeking at the calculator for the moment

  • yes all these a-holes scientists are jealous of him. there i said it.

  • he should do my math homewoork

  • Wow if i ever have a kid im sending dat nigga to an asian skool those kids were amazing they defintely beat the u.s. Skoll system

  • that was AMAZINGLY AMAZING, i would want a brain like that too so i could calculate 40232 -58374439473473 so fast!!!

  • The skills that those asians kids have are amazing, people who put them down for it are just jealous because they can't do 37 times itself by four times in 5 min without a calc.

  • @EinarBMAN It's amazing in the same sense that acrobats in a circus are amazing. The ability to calculate numbers with such speed is largely useless in the real world. Even in the realm of math-intensive fields such as physics, it's more about the conceptual uses of math to solve problems, as opposed to the calculations themselves.

  • NUU AHH SMILUUU FUR YUU

  • the scientists are jealous

  • I'm actually more impressed by the japanese kids' method of calculation.

  • @Mixikyr ...they're simply using mental abacuses to calculate. It's explainable. Daniel's method is some neurophysiological anomaly - entirely beyond the realm of current scientific explanation.

  • @Mixikyr Sorry, I'm not on your side but I can see why a teachable method would be more impressive.

  • "Daniel Tammet - The Boy With The Incredible Bra..." That's what I see what I was about to click on this video LOL

  • Look at those Asians go! That's so impressive and amazing I must say.

  • haha, holy sh1t

  • man i feel stupid

  • @4lifeiluvkpop no one's stupid.

  • 5:16 Hii ! 

  • 6:02 nice dick^^

  • Wow that researcher is beyond rude

  • @cryresistant why?

  • So this guy loves Pi, which means he probably loves circles, which is symbolically associated with God. and he doesn't like 6. That's pretty amazing stuff.

  • @HaphazardCrappola

    This is exactly what I thought!

  • The haters are retards. Being average is soooo boring.

  • hes smart but does he no 2+2?

  • Fuck this freak fuck.

  • What kind of scientist uses the word "bullshitting"?

  • @ryanhuong yeah, I felt the same way. The San Diego guys weren't too impressive.

  • I can bet any amount of money that if you could look into the children's brains, you would see that they're not really imagining the item, they're brain is simply used to "feeling" the movement of their fingers and relating it to the numbers and calculations. Of course, I don't know anything about the art that the children have been taught..

  • "sometimes i hit them"

    this is why asian countries are much smarter than us...

  • that young researcher looked quite sadistic while conducting the research :S

  • MY NAME IS DANIELLLL :D :D :D

  • Ohh I thought i was coming to see "The boy with the incredible bra"

  • i've seen the electric man, the ice man, the girl who produces crystals with her eyes,the magnetic guy,guys with super human strength,a boy who can kill birds with a scream and this brain man. The guy at 1:56 is like Mohainder looking for heroes.

  • The reaction of distress when viewing the altered pi might have been due to Tammet's realization that he's being surprise tested.

  • this shows that abacus>calculator in basic arithmetic computations, so Asians basically pwn

  • the thumbnail for this video made me laugh. "the boy with the incredible bra.."

  • The sixth sense is balance you idiot!

  • 6:18 Stupid. Fucking. Test.

  • @Nautilus1972 Those mathematicians are clearly jealous.

  • I wonder about those made up shapes and multiplication. Like what if you give him two different sets of numbers that yield the same product, would the space in between the two numbers have the same shape? So cool.

  • @YoMrSami The Universe is nothing but mathematics - why is it so odd that a person should be able to 'see' the universe as it really is.

  • @YoMrSami

    I don't think his synaesthetic pictures are so precise. They're probably invoked during the process of mental calculation rather than giving him the answers as is suggested in this documentary.

  • fucking asians

  • @sadface0 ..What a really DUMB thing to say...Asians? ???......There's allot of ,like you,..."dummy" Asians too.

  • I also love pie. Mmmmmmmm

  • 4:10

    well im sometimes bear stripped, so some chi flies perhaps sometimes I hit them... bahhahahha

  • i didnt know messi was a scientist haha 8:07

  • chinks

  • lmfao i wouldnt mind goin to the casino wit him

  • I'd like to see more study with how he figures out Black Jack o.o

  • I bet you the smart guy knows more then the professors at the university :D

  • what does daniel tammet think about the number 666 ? :-)

  • @JJC1984 he described 6 as the number he's most uncomfortable with and says it's small. shit 666 probably scares him shitless like the devil!!! concidence!

  • @JJC1984 he said he sees sixes are like a void, almost like a black hole. so there ya go.

  • @JJC1984 maybe he's illuminate ? o.O

  • fascinating.

  • Wish I could do calculations that fast in my head, and get them correct. I bet the calc tests I take which take me the whole hour and fifteen minutes to complete, these people could do it in five minutes.

  • @MyPaperBleedsInk will that ability be useful for you because we don't do much calculations and there is a pocket calculator to do the job

  • @zederish

    We're not allowed to use calculators in my calculus classes.

  • @MyPaperBleedsInk don't worry later if you chose to continue to study you will be allowed to carry a scientific calculator or if you stop studying then you can carry calculator any time any where. i was a mechanical engineering student and after three years of study i started a business not related to my profession at all then I saw I am making more money than most mechanical engineers so I stopped the university and now I feel i have better life than all of my classmates. do what you love to do

  • mathematics is the heart of the universe what makes existence possible, it's like the green codes in the matrix if you understand you're looking at raw reality, it must be amazing looking at the world through his eyes

  • That second scientist sounds like my high school friend. "Legit" "Bullshit." and keeps smiling. Where is the professionalism?

  • @Faroskalin

    oh trust me, smart ppl can b legit too

  • 2:22....well Jesus Christ, just because it takes him a few more seconds then usual doesn't mean it isn't fucking unbelievable.

  • I feel bad for Daniel. It seems as though the scientists are treating him like a ROBOT. An experiment. And that one scientist was too freaking rude. I understand that they have to take some experiments because this is very unique but at least treat him more like a human. He's not just your test.

  • @Travsterable I dont think its to be rude-they are just nerdes (and that good!) having something amazing in front of them and like children they are curious and amazed at what theyve found :)

  • @Travsterable Imagine all the monkeys and rats that have been killed to bring you "modern medicine."

  • @Travsterable Don't forget that Daniel volunteered for this and he is infact getting plenty in return. He gets his name out there and his his books sell. He is making money of his name and great abilities. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is scientists job to be skeptical of everything. Especiallya person who claims to have great abilities and might infact only be a fraud and scammer. They both win here.

  • @Travsterable I have watched the video a long time ago so I may be missing something. But when was he rude? If you're referring to them doubting him, doubting is good. They shouldn't just take his word.

  • @Travsterable I feel for him too, but that is what science has to be - objective tests, or else it would not be legitimate. 

  • @Travsterable That's not at all how they were treating him. Get real.

  • @Travsterable Daniel is a positive guy and I don't think you guys understand that the mind is very much like a robot anyway.

  • my girlfriend shows a very strong emotional response to the shape representing 242.

  • mail-order bride anyone.......? ;-)

  • I love pie too. Its round and looks like a boob.

  • that one scientist is a dick.

  • can he divide by zero?

  • @Gmod4ThaWin anything divided by zero is every number.

  • "...perhaps sometimes I hit them"...Japanese teacher

  • Chinese teacher actually

  • Chinese teacher actually why when they dub do they use someone with a stupid accent that you can't understand if they gonna dub over it with English why not get an english person to do it in an english accent so we can actually understand it

  • daniel tammet is nigel tuffnels vocal doppelganger

  • an indian having something to do with superpowers? YA RIGHT

  • This blackjack thing was absolute nonsense. -- If you watch close enough, the dealer cards / player cards keep changing.

  • The brain is only an organ it's always possible to learn about one language in a week it's just about thinking in a certain way it's only the mind.

  • @xDm5x9tZpp

    The brain /is/ the mind.

  • Comment removed

  • @xDm5x9tZpp

    What's the rest of it?

  • That grad student is a douche, he's just jelly.

  • the scientist guy who cant stop smiling... his voice annoys my ears...

  • 1:31

  • Abacus is originally from China dammit. Japan use chopstick / wooden fan / caligraphy / chinese traditional medicine all from china. Chinese medicine rule proof is that the population is so large. medicine works.

  • @2769242

    you mean great Chinese medicine like tiger penis, and other nonsense

  • LOL, is there such thing as a bastardized version of pi? 

  • He's still a faggot.

  • @jetulik Jerk. If you're going to go around judging people for their sexuality, something they can't control, and completely ignore who he actually is... there's not much hope for you. Oh, and feel free to continue trolling and trying to get on peoples nerves. I can't control that.

  • @jetulik Lets see you do something usefull with your life.. Hes pushing the boundaries of science, who between you 2 will fall into oblivion first?

  • the images in his mind explains abstract art n y only a few ppl actually get it n most dont

  • o8:00 - I think he is in love with Daniel

  • I have more respect for someone who works for their ability not someone just born with it. but even so, as long as people do good with their ability, it doesn't matter.

  • its right in front of their faces. the scientist dudes just refuse to believe no matter what proof is given to them

  • @Godsclaws

    That's the point of the scientists, they have to be skeptical, if you have a theory, you're not trying to prove it right, you're trying to prove it's wrong, and if you can't do that, you probably have a correct theory.

  • @FelixNothus yea but wasnt it obvious? they could ask him any question and he knew the right answer, no matter how big it was. noone could memorise every single math answer in the world and try to fool scientist.

  • @Godsclaws

    You're still missing the point of what science is.

  • @Godsclaws Well you never know, someone could.

  • hoax. All 2-digit powers can be memorised

  • they should bring together all the people just like daniel tammet, im sure something great would happen when so many great minds are together

  • maybe he can give me the lottery numbers lol i wish i could do that

  • Comment removed

  • The gay mexican is a prick.

  • @ivanr77 Why? Because he is a bit skeptical?

  • thi is sort of how i experience music. i see a flat green field at first, and land shapes and trees grow, the color of the grass changes. its kinda hard to describe without someone actuallygetting inside my head.

  • ewwwwwww... bad woorrrdddd

  • does he jacks off on math?

  • DOOOO MATTHHH...

  • The answer at 4:06 is wrong, there's no 1 infront

  • If he doesnt like sixes, how does he feel about 666? lml__ò_ó__lml

  • Why does 242 look like a penis?

  • @matthbop

    because you have a filthy fucking mind

  • @matthbop because your mind is weak.

  • @matthbop huh?

  • oooomg they show him the calculator noooooooooooo shittt

  • in the future average human beings will be like him

  • @DonkeyDong156 Hmm that sounds nice but statistically average IQ is decreasing.

  • Nerd

  • The Indian Professor Dude with the mustache is shaking with envy and jealousy. He has spent a lifetime in math only to have this guy come and school no...wait..university him in Math!

  • @comedyguru Are you kidding? The "indian professor dude" is thrilled. This is a dream come true for him. He is just being very careful.

  • @mpalssonur Probably a bit of a mixture of fascination with a little envy. Just my opinion and first impression. Scientific testing is vigorous at times and rigid. Which can both be beneficial. Seems a little skeptical, which I can't blame him being a cynic type myself. Not that I am cynical that people like Daniel exist. I think they could be more common. People are afraid to show their true abilities out of various fears and societal norms and such. People see colours with music etc.

  • the guy hits them? What on earth?

  • Japanese kids are stupid. I am smarter

  • @l3annanaMan Good for you.

  • @l3annanaMan what race r u? east asians average 3 iq points higher than whites, whites in return avg the second highest iq, pure blacks average 70, the rest of the world averages around 90

  • @GiggleHz I am Chinease, Nice to meet you

  • when ur asian anything is possible....

  • Hi!

  • Damn.. Japanese kids are insane!

  • no offense cause while this is impressive its really useless today when we have calculators and such, its just a competition thing, if these kids were able to solve the millenium equations or find the theory of everything then were talking, cause thats the intelligence we need.

  • @IGNsucks it's not about the impressiveness of his results, it's about the impressiveness of his process. it's unprecedented and it opens up massive debate as to the way the human brain works.

  • @JamesFarrkoff true but people often misrepresent it as "Genius"

  • wow

  • I wonder if he can recognise formulas and mathematic identities...if he finds Pi so beuitiful i wonder what he would think of Euler identity lol.. e^(pi.i)+1=0

  • hes amazing at calculating but the human calculator from germany is better at calculating

  • @atown2k3 yep and he is not a savant nor does he have autism

  • orrible

  • It's all in the numbers.

  • thougt he liked pies.

  • I feel bad now not properly learning to use an abacus.

  • I lived in Japan from the age of 11-14. I went to a Japanese school as part of a program between my school/the Japanese school and learned how to use the soroban. *I think that's what it was called. It's been years.* It was really cool.

  • Imagination is very beautiful and twinkling. It can create a whole new world for only its imaginer.

  • I can do four by four multiplication!

    16. :P

  • @nahedh *claps*

  • am i the only one that didn´t understand anything?

  • wow i feel horrible for those asain kids lol math is there freaking life probably haha

  • A few times like that in Vegas and I'd have college paid for.

  • he's not gay neither is he straight i think. i bet he has sexual fantasies with the numbers..

  • this is so awesome omg like holy shit what if everyone was like this? this is incredible!!! lol

  • Imagine your own beautiful world where you know everything, and where it belongs. Now imagine that one day, while taking a stroll through this magnificent land of yours, that there's a massive crater where once was a wondrous mountainside. Shai Azoulai is a pompous dick.

  • awesome!

  • what about the guy that can instantly calculate problems
