Dara O'Briain: Science doesn't know everything

[aboylegolcom]

I thought he was going to say something like "....I'd tie homeopaths up in a bag, and throw the bag in a river. Give 'em a taste of their own medicine."

[excrutiated]

fuck you dara..... spent 4years trying to get a dentist mate ,

[GetOnTheFloor82]

"Get in the fuckin sack......." : D

[GetOnTheFloor82]

Hahahahaha : )

[bohogrowintro]

dara obriain is a fascist

[93seanwalker]

@bohogrowintro trolololol

[thegreattuck]

@bohogrowintro idiot facism is the catholic right

[Widgetski]

@bohogrowintro Oh I bet you say that about all the comedians. =D

[Tehflu42]

@bohogrowintro get in the sack

[lukas1051]

Haha, I love his comedy, although I always feel like I need a lie down after watching it, he speaks so fast he gets about 20 minutes of material into 5.

[nomsdeguerre]

Get in the Fucking Sack... I am so going to use that...

[fourteatwo]

The odd thing is that if you sell self helping therapy you are called a guru.

[ahtartersauce101]

I want Dara to be my nutritionist.

[beamerball666]

@ahtartersauce101 I second that

[ahtartersauce101]

Omg I finally got a top comment. :_) This is a beautiful moment in my life.

[ahtartersauce101]

1:57

Crowd goes: Ohhhh, I see what ya did there.

[lsynno]

Why is this guy not at the reason rally

[pete3great]

i think is comment about nutritionists is true in the UK, but not true in the US. Need to look into that.

[TheCrilles]

Dara is a pussy boy. He never makes muslim jokes.

[Lafo247]

@TheCrilles He explained that once before. He was raised a christian, he doesn't know anything about islam so he doesn't make jokes about it.

[beamerball666]

@Lafo247 Catholic but yes

[Lafo247]

@beamerball666 ......? Catholics are christians.

[AugustinusSextus]

@TheCrilles only pussy disrespect other's belief.

[beamerball666]

@TheCrilles In the sack he doesn't make Muslim Jokes 'cause

1.)He doesn't know a fuckin'thing about it

2.)Niether do you

[HystericsMusic]

Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;

the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;

he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived

[LoLSK1]

someone needs to photoshop dara to be draging a sack then anybody stupid could be sticking out of the sack job done. :)

[Tzelemel]

I think one of my cousins ignored sudden blindness.

[HLecterPHD]

What kind of cat?

[Filby]

@HLecterPHD Fluffy cats like Persians are best because the long hair absorbs the headache particles, but any cat besides one of those hairless sphinx cats will do in a pinch.

[HLecterPHD]

@Filby Damn those headache particles. How fortunate cats are magnetic.

[DieHardRulez]

8 people should get in the sack!

[squamish4244]

"We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance." Physicist and Manhattan Project member John Wheeler

[RyanGiggsOBE]

having a pint with Dara would be the greatest moment of my life

[lewisner]

Science doesn't know everything but is trying to know everything.

Religion knows nothing and is not trying to find out anything.

[SirReptitious]

I agree with everything except the chiropractor bit. Chiropractors themselves are crap, because they think they can do more than they can. And unlike an MD/GP, their goal is to get you on a "schedule" to come to them regularly. BUT, a DO(osteopath) is a MD/GP+chiropractor rolled into one. My doc is a DO, and there are times I will ask for neck or back manipulation. It feels FANTASTIC. Of course, it only works on things that are actually related to your muscles/bones, which I already knew. ;-)

[BlizBob]

Fact:

According to homeopathy water "remembers" the drug and so thus can assetain it's healing qualities even when it has been extremely dialuted.

Fact:

Every water molecule on this planet has at some point travelled trough some organism's bladder.

Fact:

If homeopathy is true we are all drinking piss.

[Proskillz21]

@BlizBob Almost fact. It is possible and actually pretty common to create and destroy water.

[ralphzimmermann]

and now we turn to Barry, who believes the sky is a carpet painted by God.

[asteroceras]

I'm not joking here... I actually did ignore sudden blindness one time, waiting for it to go away.

[outsourcerer]

@asteroceras If you're reading this, the it came back. Hope you're doing well.

[LLOYD19851012]

I used to remove my teeth by myself.

[TheFalseDarkness]

@LLOYD19851012 Get in the fucking sack.

[rjmurphyman]

I'm offensive and I find this homeopathic

[ZeroV90]

@rjmurphyman Get in the fucking sack...

[Immortal4Aday]

chiropractor? are they bullshit, fuck! i thought one fixed my aching shoulders.

[essen961]

I am a thoothiologist and I find this very offensive!

[neversurreder793]

7 people were put in the sack.

[Naxswuh]

Him and Ed Byrne sound quite similar lol

[PointsofData]

I....sudden blindness?

[blaze2010x]

I've been watching american stand ups all day, i laugh so much harder at british stand ups

[1xlottiex1]

@blaze2010x hes irish :) but if you offering the credit well take it :D

[blaze2010x]

@1xlottiex1 haha well you know what i mean, he's on the best side of the atlantic :)

[MrBigEnchilada]

no one said science can answer everything, if a scientist said that, he meant everything he can test and prove with his mathematics and physics and bio and stuff like that.

[codeyday]

@MrBigEnchilada Get in the fucking sack.

[ukspizzaman]

Look at the retards arguing in the comments. Get in the fucking sack.

[evildeathmonkey1]

@ukspizzaman *sigh* I'll get the stick.. again.

[gameguy20100]

@evildeathmonkey1 aw i just cleaned the stick

[evildeathmonkey1]

@gameguy20100 That is so nice of you! I really appreciate that. It takes hours of scrubbing to get those priest-stains out. Tell you what, how would you like to take a couple of swings at the sack, would you like that? I'll put salt in the sack so they'll scream louder!:D 

[gameguy20100]

@evildeathmonkey1 sure why not

[Lyiad]

@ukspizzaman I'm writing that down right now, it's so freaking awesome!

[ahtartersauce101]

@ahtartersauce101 Aaah look the witch doctors have arrived -.-

[SkrateBeastin]

0:35 - Just the way he says Teeth... I thought he said taint. O.o

[GreyLabyrinthine]

Does anyone know what was cut out there around 3:43? Is there any way to see the uncut version - if indeed it's more than audience reaction or Dara taking a sip of water or something...?

[ahtartersauce101]

"Well Science KNOWS it doesn't know everything, or else it would've stopped." XD HA *Batta Ping*

[mphello]

Dara O'Brien: throw those anthropogenic global warming (AGW) deniers into the sack, too. No - put them into a separate sack, throw gasoline onto the sack, and then set that sack on fire. AGW-deniers are unpatriotic terrorists who are a threat to the world's security and future.

[TVesters]

@mphello So in defence of global warning you advocate burning more of the world's fuel supply and putting even more Carbon gasses in the air?

[mphello]

@TVesters

The small amount of carbon burned (since the deniers are a tiny fringe minority) would be greatly offset by getting rid of dangerous nuisance.

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@mphello if you truely believe we humans are causing global warming then you're idiotic and extremely asinine. it's all a scam and you got fooled by it haha, Al gore one of the biggest con man on this earth i wonder whats the "carbon footprint" of his 3 jets

[mphello]

@eminemforlifenoshit If you truly deny what thousands of climate scientists have proven - that humans are causing rapid GW right now due to their emissions - because Norwegian bomber Breivik is your hero

then you are a fanatic retard shithead. And you've got nobody but yourself to blame if your wife gets raped but the police don't believe her and think that's all a scam, and if nobody believes anything else you say because they think you're all part of some big illuminati agenda.

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@mphello yeah what about thosands of scientists and the founder of the weather channel "john coleman" sueing al gore you know what im not gonna get in to it because know matter what i say or provide evidence suggesting that it's all fabricated you won't listen your stuck in your own mindset. your living a lie, we better save the polar bears and turn of the lights at night!!!! and get mercury based lightbulbs!! well good luck to you man continue living a lie you will wake up eventaully though.

[mphello]

@eminemforlifenoshit

And what about the BEST study that was done by former denier Muller and Judith Curry.

And WUWT nutjob site owner lied before the study, claiming he would "abide" by the results, "no matter what they show". But, when the BEST study once again confirmed AGW, WUWT and his nutjob followers thrown a hissy fit.

Conspiracy among tobacco and coal industry funded propaganda machines has been proven.

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@mphello perhaps by then it may be to late for humanity i bet you also bellieve 9,11 was also a attack by so called terrorists in a cave who manged to hi jack two planes hit two buliding and made them colaspe into there own footprint with no resistence at all forget about the thosands of tons of structual steel and concrete and buliding 7 which didn't even get hit by a buliding and fell in free fall speed like the rest of them. the table is tilted folks and the game is rigged

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@mphello because the "owners" of this country know the truth it's the american dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it. peace and love but Tell you what, instead of reading more conspiracy theories, research critical thinking and the deconstruction of arguments. Im not trying to be condescending any more, you really would benefit from sharpening your analytical faculties. It's the art of seperating fact from truth from falsities.

[mphello]

@eminemforlifenoshit

No. You try doing some hardcore math modelling and computer programming.

There are distributed softwares on the internet

(my specialty is math modelling and differential equations)

specifically for climate modelling on parallel computers.

More bullshit philosophizing won't prove or disprove a fucking thing.

FAR too much human time spent doing that. We need EQUAL TIME for math modellers and computer programmers doing climate modelling.

[mphello]

@eminemforlifenoshit

You deniers are the greatest hypocrites, preaching to others to "sharpen our analytical skills",

when in fact you deniers have none.

911truthers are full of shit. But, on the other hand, I DO respect them, and they DO deserve equal airtime on MSM. They, at least, are not endangering the future like AGW deniers are.

[mphello]

Actually, I'd LIKE to remove my own teeth.

I've asked the dentist to do it, but he refuses. It would save me tons of money so I wouldn't have to endlessly have my teeth refilled.

[loverofyugioh]

ya look like noddy

PRICELESS!!!

[wacko031290]

@TomFynn Brilliant! I shall pass it on promptly =)

[wacko031290]

@TomFynn Also if you have one that is blank we can put it on quick meme and all those other places... get it out there

[eragonsaphira777]

cont. from previous.

Other diseases, we simply do not understand enough about the human body or the problem, such as epilepsy. My mother has to take six different tables, thee times a day, just to lessen the chances of he having a fit. It is because doctors/scientists do not understand enough about the human mind and body to be able to cure it. So, they do the best they can, and lessen the effects.

I am not cynical enough to believe we would be forced to suffer just so someone can make money.

[SpunkeyMonkey]

Hmmm I think you'll find that most cures for diseases weren't turned into medicine, it would have been bad for business, most diseases have medicines which you have to take slot of or permanently stay on, now that's good for business....

[squealpiggy]

@SpunkeyMonkey WROOOOOONG.

[Redheadfury]

@SpunkeyMonkey Good for the business of the FREE Nation Health Service? Go fuck yourself.

[Redheadfury]

@Redheadfury *National

[eragonsaphira777]

@SpunkeyMonkey

While you are right that cures for diseases would put many companies out of business, I believe that the real reason is that we just aren't advanced enough to be able to cure everything. For example, the cold virus mutates constantly, so it is impossible to immunise a person, because every strand is different and would require a diferent cure. However, while the cause of illness cannot be gotten rid of, the symptoms can be lessened, hich is what cold medicine does.

[gulbirk]

Everyones oppinions ARE just as valid.

Now pleas have me excused as a prove that gravity is false using this new born baby.

[squamish4244]

Well some scientists *think* they know everything, lol. Stephen Hawking has been saying, "We've almost got it all figured out" for 20 years now.

[thelaynie]

@squamish4244 Yes, but as you pointed out, the key word in his statement is, "almost."

[squamish4244]

@thelaynie At the end of the 19th Century, physicists also believed we were "almost" on the brink of figuring everything else. Max Planck was told that he should not go into physics because "all that's left is to fill in a few gaps." Then he discovered quantum mechanics. We have no reason to believe Hawking is right this time. Celebrated physicist Roger Penrose believes theoretical physics may in fact be in need of a complete overhaul, and that string theory could be a dead end.

[thelaynie]

@squamish4244 But you miss my point entirely. You said specifically that scientists think they know everything, and then went on to quote Stephen Hawking specifically saying that they do not, in fact, know everything and that they're aware of that.

Words do have meaning. Your quote did not support your statement, sorry.

[squamish4244]

@thelaynie Well, what I mean is that we probably understand far less about the universe than we think we do. And I meant that Hawking believes we are close to understanding everything - and he has said as much - and others of his standing think we are not. Is that clear enough?

[SuperStoves]

@squamish4244 Scientists do not think they know everything, as Dara says in the video if scientists knew everything then science would become redundant. The amount of scientific reasearch being perfomed is increasing exponentially and shall continue to for all of existance... Each new thing discovered leads to numerous new questions and discoveries, and occasionally a great discovery leads to a whole new branch of science, such as with the invention of the microscope leading to cell biology, etc

[Mirabad]

Can someone tell me what he said at the very end? "You look like..." I have no idea what that last word is.

@aliensquirl: I'm from Belgium, English is my THIRD language and I can understand what Dara says pretty easily... So if you're from outside the UK: learn some fucking English or don't watch channels you can't understand. If you actually live IN the UK: pretty lame for you if a non-native speaker like me can understand what Dara says and you can't...

its true though what he says

Proved how many human species evolved into another, and the entire evolution of the horse and stuff, which is all prooved. But how ancesters evolved into us they didtnt discover yet.

And thats the sign for idiots to come go "GOD!!!" cuz we dont know1 piece of the puzzle (while the 100 around we DO have, and the picture is clear) well all the other fukcing evolutions we DID prove, are you overlooking those? srsly filling in the gaps with godshit, don't they.

[Kenmorfdublin]

I heard today that this guy is obnoxious and hostile towards his fans, telling people who ask for his autograph to metaphorically fuck off in various ways, anyone know if this is true?

[Boffcheese]

@Kenmorfdublin I went to watch him once, it was a brilliant show. Unfortunately, I had to rush off, but a few of my mates (who haven't shut up about it since) got their tickets signed, his autograph on every conceivable surface, and pictures with him.

Everything I've heard about him is really positive.

[deadstockk]

Is there some number I can call to get Dara as a nutritionist?

[vulnerabledonkey]

Homeopathy is bullshit. My mother actually spends money on that bullshit, and it bloody pisses me off that some clueless b-word plays on her naivety to make money.

I read somewhere that, in the highest dilution that homeopathists actually offer (like 30XX or something), to get one molecule of the diluted substance (the lowest amount you can possibly get), one would have to drink a vessel full of the solution 8 times the size of planet Earth.

What the fuck. What the fuck. What. the. fuck.

[vulnerabledonkey]

@vulnerabledonkey Wait, sorry, I looked it up and the measurements are this:

To get one molecule of the dissolved substance in a 30C solution, you would need to drink a vessel full of the solution over 30,000,000,000 times the size of Earth. Fuck off Homeopathy. Just fuck off.

[nafester]

@vulnerabledonkey No no, you don't understand! Water has a memory, so like, it remembers the substance that was diluted in it! True story bro!

Oh, and yeah, all of the bajillions of other things that will have come in to contact with that water? They don't count. Cos, uh...

THEY JUST DON'T COUNT OK!

[tuckerch]

@nafester Considering that for most of history, sewers eptied into rivers which then emptied into the oceans.

So... In our lifetime, we have drunk water that has HITLER'S poo and pee in it, according to homeopathic theory. Jews and Muslims have drunk water with the poo and pee of SWINE in it, so says homeopathic theory.

So, does the poo and pee of Jesus in that's also in the water somehow negate all the bad poo and pee?
