So glad carls is up there. He is a family friend and such an amazing guy

1) Who can say? 2) No it won't. 3) No they Won't. 4) Seems sensible enough. Bones can knit for instance. 5) Who cares? 6) See #5

Yes I tried to press play
irrelevantInPerpetuity
That little "#t-" followed by a bunch of numbers is a time tag for the video. You're linking to the end of these... the more you know.

favorite and move on.
malexmatt
If that first one is what I think it is (Multiverse stuff)....that's not science. It's raw speculation with no empirical testability at all
CandidGamera
But that's what the trendy people on the internet think science is, and that's good enough for imgurians.
SirBrendan
Well he makes it pretty clear that it is just that. He also went into conditions for future veracity. It was a good watch-- have a go, bud
SirBrendan
Thanks a lot OP. I often dislike or disagree with the presenters, but that's the point-- they're engaging a conversation. This is great.

Porn is Science too. BIOLOGY Bitch!

Who is this TED and why won't he shut up?

Imgur doesn't like science. Imgur likes celebrities and pseudoscience. Imgur will love this.

My kids on mars? how the hell are they gonna pay for being born first o_O
CandidGamera
Call me old-fashioned, but I'll take my science content without shitty click-bait titles.
Hashpipe
I wanted to go out and drink tonight, now I'm gonna have to stay home and drink and watch these.
Sheepyhead
They're good at sensationalist clickbait titles that's for sure
ProfessorPrimate
Never liked Ted for some reason. Too pretentious
CaffeinatedTwerk
It's a scheme using communication tropes to fluff things that could be read in one page of actual content.

SirBrendan
There is something ironically pretentious about deriding open forums for discussion as pretension.
serenityfast
Even at their best they're not great. It's entirely fluff pieces for the rich attendees to enjoy. Not furthering science or learning.
LivingInYourIntestines
I liked some of them but a lot of these talks have become downright silly and supportive of questionable research at best. OP is legit tho.
wildcardbitchz
I tried to only link talks that I found interesting and scientifically sound
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
The more popular it got, the more pretentious shit they released. I've been to TEDxAmsterdam once. People felt very popular being there.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
But I did get to talk to Barry Schwartz for a bit, one of my favorite speakers, so that was cool.
rexnerdorum
This isn't science. This is TED talks.

TED TALKS: TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, DESIGN
jamesdeanshat
The main focus has really shifted from science to activism. Also change it to TED Acts, then i'll be interested. Too much talking nowadays.
dingleberriesm8
Come for the interesting information, leave because of the 15 consecutive videos why choosing what bathroom you piss in is a human right
lovecraftbeer
You got some splaining to do.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
www.ted.com , enjoy
serenityfast
TED Talks are fluff pieces for a bunch of rich people to enjoy (they're paid for by the audience, ~$1000+ per person).
serenityfast
Emphasis is put on entertainment and "feel good" attitudes, not on the actual science and on learning.
lovecraftbeer
Whoa whoa whoa slow down there egghead
serenityfast
I'm glad this is getting attention these days. Got some heavy downvotes for it in the past.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Wut? It's been getting lots of attention for like at least 5 years on the internet.. TED's been around for decades
serenityfast
Tell that to my past downvotes :(
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Curious.. you're glad they're getting attention, yet you also say they're fluff pieces for the rich.. sending some mixed signals there
ThisGuyDisguisedTheSkies
You are misunderstanding the root of his comment. He agrees with the top comment, that Ted talks are not science.
