Did Usain Bolt REALLY run 100m in 9.63 seconds?

Usain Bolt won gold in the 100m sprint at the London Olympics, clocking 9.63 seconds... but Albert Einstein has something to say about all this?

FYI Usain Bolt ran the 100 meters in 9.58 so yes you are correct he did run faster than 9.63

[ThomasBolanos]

Strange, I defended your use of the English language, and you call me out as though I insulted you? Holy shit, you are an asshole. lol

[Minh Nguyen]

They only use 3 digits accuracy so it doesn't matter still 9.63!!!

[AnimalKaiser389]

Read the description carefully!

the timers were probably off in a way that arguing about a relatively miniscule difference such as this would still produce an incorrect answer

You simply lack a sense of humor. Making a big deal out of such a small difference in time that it's inconsequential at our level of existence is the source of comedy here. People understand it better because it stimulates more parts of the brain to include comedy.

[MTIZZLE619]

well he doesn't do a very good job

[Audionoob]

I think the point of choosing Bolt's time is to be humorous, and also to show that it happens to everything, not just something moving quickly.

This isn't about showing that the times measured by the Olympic judges or whatever are wrong, or to "make a big deal" about the inaccuracy. If you think that, you don't understand the point of the video. It's to demonstrate a fundamental principle of our universe, intrinsic to everything.

[MTIZZLE619]

why do you say that? judging from the calculation i just did it would suggest otherwise.

Maybe you are the stupid one that can't admit when he is wrong

[Karbonics]

youre just stupid
