Why math is important

[Evenstar631]

If you ever watched mythbusters....it's a computer animation

[ijustwannajam]

@Evenstar631 Thank you my friend for the info...no doubt it seems impossible to be real.

Still a cool vid to watch :))

[Paskakatiska]

M : Mental

A : Agony

T : Towards

H : Human

[O7ROADKING]

Wow very impressive.if real but there are to many variables for math to work.im guessing video editing.

[EnjoiCholder]

can u say luckiest redneck alive

[binumar93]

well its cool,bt i dnt see hw its related to maths

[Uatemydoodle]

@binumar93 lol

[PieMoe]

Why would anybody attempt this?! Math is important, but common sense is also pretty dang important!

[PARIAH805]

3 words: fake and gay!

[RRtoiPPiotRR]

lol my jaw was dropped...then my brain joined in and called me a retard.

[Wegaskiller]

Dude, if the guy slides 1% faster, he ends up dead.

This is impossible.

[c1976newfie]

Mythbusters proved this video was BUSTED, it can't be done.

but still cool to watch

[intothemix]

You could do all the calculating you wat to figure this out, but you cannot calculate human error, if he pushed off a little too hard or lightly, or went down the ramp one degree out to left or right and he would've missed. It must be fake, or he should buy a frickin lottery ticket.

[Saohesc]

Why would anyone think this is fake? People take risks to have fun ALL the time. These guys could have messed up but they took time to plan and lower their risk. He could get hurt badly, but in reality, This is a lot safer than other things...

[ChrisSelin]

@Saohesc it is fake it was on a tv show cant think of the name but they got hold of the people who made the video and they said they did it in a lake and just edited it to make it look like a swimming pool in the middle of a field.

[PhanumProductions]

that was kool, y are people negative, physics do involve math, the only people that actually dispute this are people that didnt take one course in that subject

[BostonBruinsRule101]

@PhanumProductions .. It's fake.

[matrixphijr]

@ijustwannajam Roosters are stupid.

[Shawtgunner]

this has nothing to do with math

[Alex123Random]

:O That was amasing!

[oi565]

@BlackMamba23977 This is fake, not physics.

[doc2850]

As said before mythbusters producers talked to the people who made this video and they said it was faked.

[dsaewq001]

This is neither Math nor Physics. Its special effects & video editing.

[sheleg3s3]

How the hell is this math? its physics

[matrixphijr]

@sheleg3s3 *Facepalm* And physics in no way involves math.

[HerrAndrew]

@matrixphijr What? Have you never heard of calculus? Physics and science are almost completely driven by math!

[matrixphijr]

@HerrAndrew Maybe if you read the comment I'm replying to, you'll realize that was sarcasm.

[sheleg3s3]

@matrixphijr Physics involves math, but when saying why math is important. He says that by ONLY doing math you can calculate this, good luck.

[matrixphijr]

@sheleg3s3 Not sure why you replied to me, then.

[159tony]

his took place in finland.

[AtemeRee]

this is fake and not math!

[159tony]

@AtemeRee it's not fake, i was there watching this happen

[bl4ckh34rt90]

guy in wetsuit: "how can we possibly pull something like this off?"

khaki shorts: "i'm not sure... i'm afraid we'll need to use.... MATH!"

[vautour1232]

I like how he looks surpirised that he survived -_-

[a15rag]

@BlackMamba23977 are u serious??? ... dont u kno physics is a branch of math? ... without math u dont have ur physics, this is MATH

[A2ndhaze567]

Guyz I forgot to carry the... never mind.

[mjg1970]

@BlackMamba23977 HAHAHAHAHAHA .... Did you really just say it was physics not math? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT DO YOU THINK PHYSICS IS?

[colomghetto]

If this were real the guy would of died or caused a near fatal injury that would of broken his bones. the Volume of water in the pool is not enough to take such an impact from the potential energy he built up going down the ramp. but other than that cool video

[bl4ckh34rt90]

@colomghetto it's amazing how many people can be fooled by what they're seeing

[xXextraslastaXx]

@BlackMamba23977 Physics is the application of math ;)

[MakisOlympiakos17]

THUMB UP FOR THE GUY LAUGHING AT 0:39 - 0:45 !!!

[mrsbethanylovesyou]

unless this is fake that guy must have gone down with such a belly slap - oww!

[Marshyme13]

@BlackMamba23977 Physics uses math. :|

[luccaskunk]

@BlackMamba23977 you've obviously never attended a physics class. Math is to Physics what Masturbation is to Sex. I'm not saying that the search for greater mathematical truth is meaningless unless that search reveals new useful information about the world in which we live, but rather that an undergrad physics student spends their entire first year only doing math.

You simply can't do physics without math.

[latinlover00011]

OHH MAIGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kaeralho]

I wouldn't doubt it is real as I wouldnt doubt it is fake. physics can be that precise, they could have tried before with another object of same weight and proportions.

I think it is fake, people started screaming too late after he hit the pool.

[ConbonJD]

@BlackMamba23977 they kind of go hand in hand

[jossedobben]

What's more, even if it's fake, it still involves a lot of math! :D All this CGI stuff involves vast amounts of math before you're able to create even a short movie like this one.

[meaganmariezuko]

@freshupdown3 Just the fact that you spelled "pool" like "pull" makes your entire point invalid.

[EvolutionXEngine]

Its Real and Fake at the same time... :O

[Ravenex2]

Lol, beautiful.

[acredateful]

@BlackMamba23977 Math is the basis of all Science you dumb fuck!

[simplefranco]

Math is important. So is common sense and curiosity; you could make the guy hit the pool all right, but he wouldn't get up by himself just like that...

Microsoft at its best: selling.

;)

[zerbo803]

i love math. it is absolutly possibly to use the weight of the guy , the length of the slide and the projected acceleration to determine the distance of the pool on a windless day

[TheSoldierCore]

wats will happen if he missed the pool?

[sichosi]

@TheSoldierCore splat.

[TheSoldierCore]

@sichosi or: wtf shi no no no

[nfinix]

Of course its fake.... The pressure of the splash should kill the pool easily...

[ododod767]

@JeanAlesiAgain2 Or hes lucky :D

[italianman004]

FAKE !!!!!!!!

[Fiercefighter2]

@BlackMamba23977 physics is built on math silly

[bclark7113]

... Do NOT try this at home... We convinced my little brother to try this three times... He has brain damage now :P

[mislav112233]

@BlackMamba23977

you need math to do physics

[coolkid1963]

omg that is awsome

[jaiden91]

@BlackMamba23977 yeah but you can calculate the speed , hight , wind and of course the distance

[JoshhLyons]

It is an advertisement for Microsoft...

That guy is probably being payed millions, they had world professors doing the physics and maths and there would be no room for error.

Why can't people just accept that it's real and awesome, jeez...

[BlackWolfRose]

@BlackMamba23977 Dude...Physics is math. In order to find something out about physics, you use equations and math.

[georgetroulis]

Busted the world record!

[SeedofCreed]

Myth...busted.

[superHahehe]

omg



[TheLUKA64]

this is real, check out mythbusters

[georgempresecan]

@TheLUKA64 could you post a link?

[TheLUKA64]

@georgempresecan i saw it on "sky" in dicovery channel not on yotuube, you can still serach for it

[MrTheevilpeanut]

sorry to disapoint but this is fake

[SpookyCheese]

love this :D

[NatapixAS]

this is fake!

[djukicmarino]

ne seri

[ijustwannajam]

its all good my friend...

[ijustwannajam]

@BlackMamba23977 Possibly a combination of both, definately there are some mathematical equations and or calculations regarding distance, speed and weight.

[thecapone45]

@ijustwannajam I agree,

[Vqmpire]

@ijustwannajam so you dont need maths do solve physical problems ? aha i c ;)

[666Slayne]

@ijustwannajam u dont mean speed u mean acceleration and F = m x a and that is the most popular equation in physics

Gravitation is also olny important in physics

air resistance is also only important in physics

and friction is also only important in physics and not math

and these are 99% of the things u need to calculate this situation

i think u have no idea what math is about

[ijustwannajam]

@666Slayne I think you dont understand what this post is about ...btw once you have your mass and weight and distance , you will need some math to figure it all out...everything is related to the other in some way...plus its just a post of a interesting video not a forum on whos right or wrong...relax my friend..

[666Slayne]

@ijustwannajam so u think EVERY equation is math?

[breakingdexter]

@BlackMamba23977 physics is math 

[ijustwannajam]

@JeanAlesiAgain2

Nonetheless it's a very interesting video....

[unapologeticmind]

Math can only give you an idealized estimate, nothing more, so to entrust your life on an idealized estimate would be rather foolish to say the least. But this video OTOH has probably been "photoshopped" one way or the other. Anyway, if it gets kids to study more math then it was worth it :)

[111Socrates777]

@unapologeticmind And the calculations used in flying in an plane or driving in a car? Are those also 'idealized'?

[unapologeticmind]

@111Socrates777 When constructing an airplane or a car, you're dealing with precisely known ranges of external forces, you are not dealing with rough estimates. Additionally, you've got considerable user input (steering wheels, gas, brake) to counter unexpected deviations. The guy in the video doesn't have steering wheel, gas or brake and given the way he's flying in the air I doubt he knows the precise range of the external forces applied on him. So, even a minimal deviation could be fatal...

[unapologeticmind]

@unapologeticmind So, yes, you always apply math but never math alone. You calculate precise physical real-world measurements of possible ranges of external forces and you give the user/driver an option to add input to the system according to his own sensory and visual estimates...

[codeMATZE]

reel?? I dont think so.

The splash looks like something fall from high above and and that someone "fly" with that speed in it.

The water splashes upwards and not away from the flight direction.

But anyway, it is very cool to see something like this.

True or not, nice work!!

[PlacenProductions]

They showed this at school.

[zeetvdell]

@zombiecrowtv how is it a hoax?

[zombiecrowtv]

@zeetvdell

mythbusters

[Yu2Kal]

wow, alot of mathematical calculations must have been done to accomplish that

[ohencz]

I think they did it with many experiments to some foam and then statisticaly estimated where to position the pool.

[LuisRC91]

OMG is this real
