I love how Adam talking at a conference to a room full of people is exactly the same as Adam sitting in his shop alone, talking to his camera. He just loves what he does and wants to spread that love to anyone he can :)
LOVED Adam's talk and was fortunate to be able to ask him about it afterwards. I told him my favorite part and he said that bit had only come to him the night before! It was one of the many highlights of Open Sauce for me.
I was a measurement engineer for a while and he didn’t mention that when you touch the gauge blocks with your fingers dead skin and oils can also change gauges in microns so always polish
@@Lucky9_9 there's been a lot of strife between mythbusters and Allen because of his use of their brand. Literally at this event he was selling MythBusters merch out of the back of a van
Adam manages to discuss subjects you might dismiss or assume they're boring and makes them so incredibly engaging and understandable. His excitement and positivity is unbelievably infectious. One of the best story tellers out there ❤
I'm so happy you guys made this channel for OpenSauce. I was super disappointed I couldn't go last year and see this speech in person. But so glad I get to see it.
a couple weeks back i didn my dissertation of my internship for mechanical engineering, all in all i can even say how much myth busters influenced me into getting into the carrer and developing skill in the field, thank you Adam, this one goes for you
I hadn't heard of that before I'll have to find the video, but it kinda checks out, thinking is energy going between neurons, you need more neurons to store more energy/a bigger thought and scale up the equation till you have too much mass that's fuckin awesome
Yeah, like a lot of mathematical proofs, it basically boils down to stacking up equations like adapters until you can plug one thing in where it truly was never meant to go. In this case, from what I recall, you start with the idea of the Schwarzchild radius, which is the radius to which you need to compress a given mass to make it collapse into a black hole, then you take E=MC² over to the idea of a Kugelblitz which is where your feeding an object energy, usually light, rather than mass to make it collapse into a black hole, and then finally you have one more equation I can't remember off the top of my head that lets you relate information storage to energy and that's where we get to collapse the brain into a black hole because the energy represented by storing such a number is so high that your brain goes Kugelblitz because the radius of your skull is now smaller that the Schwarzchild radius of your brain having stored that information.
Beautiful talk. Comparison vs measurement is such a good way to level up your precision. Experienced woodworkers make very few measurements. It's all marking against references, physically indexing, or using mechanical dividers to find center. Your typical tape measure is only marked down to 1/16in. If you can visualize the space between the marks, at best you can achieve ~1/32in precision. Comparing by feel, you can get close to 10x that precision.
I think I have an answer for why they have to stick. For one block to fall, there's one of two things that have to happen, and neither is possible. The first is that the two surfaces have to come apart. One of the blocks has to pivot away from the other (e.g. one edge is the pivot point and the block rotates away from the other) - however, because the surfaces are perfectly flat, the *entire* surface would have to disconnect simultaneously. This would create a vacuum, which would have a large force pulling the block back to it's position - it's energetically unsound. The blocks can't detatch the entire surface at once. The second is for the blocks to slide *along* each other, for the "floating" block to fall straight down. But... the perfectly flat surfaces mean that there's contact *everywhere* - the friction of the two surfaces is huge, and far more force is needed to overcome them than gravity.
I design and build 3d-printable guns, and I'm very grateful for the role model Adam has been from mythbusters onwards. I have had others, but if I didn't, Adam would have been a sufficient inspiration to try anyway, and you miss 100% of the shots you don't take :D
also on the metric vs imperial system... the metric system is optimized for the tax man to break your earnings into percents, while the imperial system was actually invented for engineering. The base-60 system is how you do all of fine incremental adjustments, like "minutes of angle", that are required for not just building anything, but also for navigating over a horizon. The metric system just doesn't compare, if you actually need to use the measurements to do something in the world larger than the size of a bedroom.
I used to think I don't qualify as a maker because I don't make stuff, but I don't feel that way anymore after listening to Adam Savage repeatedly reiterate that stuff is not the definition of making. Making stuff happen counts to.
The black hole quote is inaccurate - he's talking about the Graham number, which has been said to take the same amount of energy to WRITE DOWN as it would to create an artificial black hole. Doesn't tickle the imagination as much does it?
. Metric system is better. Well, the Smaller Number is more accurate. But Better... better is personal. I think plain vanilla ice-cream is better then any other and I don't need to give a reason. It's simply my personal opinion. (but if I were to give 1 it would be because you can add whatever you want to it to create a different flavor.)
Chainsaw Man enjoyers now know why we only ever saw Cosmos use her power once, because the accumulated doll population was the only means by which the Library could be contained without creating a black hole that destroys the Earth. Neat!
"A number so large that if you could hold the information to understand it inside your head, it would collapse into a black hole" Gives a new meaning to "Are you dense?"
He's talking about the Graham number, and he's got it wrong ; the energy required to write it out would be the same as to create an artificial black hole. He is being dense
Here's a conundrum: how you convince sponsors to sponsor you if the video of the content they sponsored isn't going to show up on the Internet until next year?
If I had a wife, no doubt she'd be tapping me on the should asking, "Are you crying watching a video about that guy from Myth Busters talk about measurement system?"
He got lost in the sauce on this “revelation.” “No such thing as a measurement” is goofy, since in order to assign a value to a thing, we must have a method to “measure.” It’s based on a shared understanding or consensus, but it’s still a real thing.
Adam: don't adjust the mike stand without loosening it first! It's going to ruin it. If ten more people do that, the sound guy is going to have to throw it away.
Adam visited UNT and they had a Mythbusters contest and if you won you got a signed shirt from Adam! Well I won. And I never got to even meet him some staff at UNT gave me a shirt which I guess has his john handcock on it. But major disappointment because who cares lol I'd rather him sign it in front of me not a random ass lady with a fake signature . Thanks for nothing Adam!
There's no way that you watched a tech channel, watched a presentation by Adam Savage and you don't know who Adam Savage is. Ok, ok... I'll be kind.

I'm glad these are finnaly being posted. I was glued to my booth most of the event and sadly couldn't be at any of the talks.
Same. I was gutted I couldn't attend this talk.
Chess table huh, were you in that area by the bathrooms near all the old BattleBots?
@@jacewhite8540 ya, I had the talking chess robot. I believe the BattleBots were right behind my booth
Must have been using some very industrial glue
LOVED Adam's talk and was fortunate to be able to ask him about it afterwards. I told him my favorite part and he said that bit had only come to him the night before! It was one of the many highlights of Open Sauce for me.
Which part?
We love Adam. Him saying he is tremoring because he is excited to share is awesome and humble.
I was a measurement engineer for a while and he didn’t mention that when you touch the gauge blocks with your fingers dead skin and oils can also change gauges in microns so always polish
probably more than microns given dust oil sweat etc.
As makers we're so lucky to have Adam to represent us in these talks and speeches.
I think there's SO many good makers that, with all respect to Adam, someone else would be there. At least I hope.
@@joshdoesthingsallthetime A very good point, thank you for bringing that forward. I agree.
@@joshdoesthingsallthetime And if that 'someone else' wasn't there. There would be Adam. Your point is moot
such a shame he's not coming back next year after what the event producers did to his likeness
@@duskpede5146 What happened?
I still have to laugh at imagining allen hiding in the bathroom while this presentation is going on.
Why was allen hiding in the bathroom? lol

Finally, full presentation videos are being released! I had to miss a few to check out the exhibits
currently crying over this talk. adam is such an amazing human being and his passion is contagious
Yes! The black hole number! I love throwing that fact at people and seeing how they respond

Had to miss this one because of our tour time to Alcatraz, glad I get to watch it now.
Adam lit the fuse for so many creative individuals. A truly great human being.
That segment about the JWST gave me goosebumps. Thanks Adam!
Closing with the actual voice of Mythbusters was TREMENDOUS. Big thanks for making this happen!
His rhetorical skills really are amazing
I so enjoy Adam's enthusiasm. It's so joyous.
The shoutout to numberphile was the best! LOL Adam is a geek like everyone else
at 10:24 he even says Origins of Precision th-cam.com/video/gNRnrn5DE58/w-d-xo.html&
adam is the maker./science GOAT. couldn't have asked for a better person to be in his position.

Adam is my childhood hero!
at 10:40 he blew my mind as to why my sharpening stones weren’t flattening. i wasn’t using the pattern 😢
one of the best humans that we have. So thankful that we get to experience his perspective.
Love this guy, inspired me at a young age to get building and haven't stopped since.
Love the passion for learning and sharing it
Humans agreeing on definitions really does do a huge amount of good
I think it stops most arguments
That Tested episode on the gauge blocks was amazing 🤩
Yoooo, I was there in the front row!
Thank you for uploading these!!!
Here for thoughts of Michele Reeves, glad to see Adam Savage
I was right there, in the back row center. Good stuff.
This vid should have more likes
“Also it makes me wonder what you burned down.”
What? Moi? Why I never.
PLEASE: does anybody know where to find the full length panel?? I cannot find it on youtube.
Will you be uploading Mr.Volt's talk as well? I would really like to see it.
Next open sauce should be in Philadelphia
Such an amazing talk!
He really is just a wonderful speaker and storyteller
That was beautiful ❤
love this man. absolutely my hero.
Patron saint of makers.
A 22:43 long video and not one mention of the term "Social Construct"...which is at length defined by 22:43 long video. Gotta love ole Adam.
This video needs to be renamed from, "You Are A Maker," to "The Gauge Block Speech."
Amazing talk, amazing information, and an even more amazing message😊

@@Choscurathe funny thing is on the other side of the scale, even in SAE we go back to decimals with mils
We love you too Adam :)
Thank you for making things.
I love you too Mr.Savage
I’d love for Tested to add conversions in standard units on screen 😀
If i was able to go to the US I would

Great closing words
Oooo Ark of the Covenant would be amazing!! Also, that Han in Carbonite looks so awesome!!
Humble badass.

These talks were cool missed this one cuz boat moment
im gonna go cry now
That speech cost William Osmond what? $10,000, $25,000, $100,000?
If I had a wife, no doubt she'd be tapping me on the should asking, "Are you crying watching a video about that guy from Myth Busters talk about measurement system?"
Metric vs Imperial is not Pc vs Mac. It´s PC vs Sinclair. One is ubiquitous and sound, the other is obscure and obsolete.
Well put! Could also call it democracy vs maga.
Adam is Isaac Asimov's love child. Just look at him! Love you, sir. :)
awesome

Its all relative.

Who is this guy and what is this event?
Open Sauce was the event and this is Adam Savage most well known as the host of MythBusters, and currently host of the TH-cam channel Tested.
There's no way that you watched a tech channel, watched a presentation by Adam Savage and you don't know who Adam Savage is.
Ok, ok... I'll be kind. But there's no way that in your lifetime you haven't watched at least 1 episode of MythBusters and you don't know who Adam Savage is.
Were you living under a rock?
@@Ygr3ku That was my original reaction to, but I decided to give the benefit of the doubt
@@jacewhite8540I think that doing such a small thing makes all the difference. :)
no sympathy on the metric issue tho. change to metric
SAE is all defined by metric, so in a way we already have been for over a hundred years.
