- www.ted.com For the dawn of a new decade, adventurer Bertrand Piccard offers us a challenge: Find motivation in what seems impossible. He shares his own plans to do what many say can't be done -- to fly around the world, day and night, in a solar-powered aircraft.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at www.ted.com/tra.... Watch a highlight reel of the Top 10 TEDTalks at www.ted.com/ind...
This man is a true genius. I admire how he uses everything as one metaphor of making the decisions that are right for you in life.
Chase your dreams and never give up on your happiness.
This mans talk is allegorical and reasoned, enlightened and pragmatic; addressing global concerns that by now must resonate deeply within us to a broad-based listenership. Rare (for me) to see a person encompasses such a myriad of issues and problems facing the globe today so eloquently.
Find motivation in what seems impossible sounds challenging and uplifting.
Choose Arjuna, choose...
I'm going to show this
to some of my ESL students
(accountants, maybe others)
for a variety of reasons.
Top 2:
Speaking confidently in ESL,
and being perfectly understood,
in front of a high IQ, Eng. speaking
crowd, with accent and "pretty good"
grammar/pronunciation (similar to
my students in level).
Inspirational discussion material
for people in the financial world.
Considering where we now are....
HNY to all!
Great analogy of throwing off ballasts. Great talk.
This is why we study history, 100 years ago, all the things that we can do now would be considered ludicrous, I do believe that all these crazy things that scientists are coming up with right now will happen. Now, we are improving our technology faster than ever.
I do not plan to underestimate the potential of these ideas and projects
Bravo !! standing ovation
All I can say is that this man is a major part of the small hope I hold for the future of mankind.
He is a man that will be remembered as one of the few that took renewable energy seriously and made the leap that was necessary to spark interest in peoples dulled and commercialized brains.
Keep doing what your doing, you will be remembered in history as a great man.
Todays best of men. Totally refreshing!
I liked how he brought it back to that iced window. In the solar craft he described it would be like reaching the point of ignition, when the sun comes up again.
I think this talk is named totaly wrong...
This talk isn't about a solar airplane, it's about a way of thinking, explained on the example of a solarplane.
This video is about the transition from "bigger, better, stronger" to intellegent design patterns, that try to find the best possible way, not the fastest, easiest or cheapest.
in short, exactly what mazaloth said:
truly inspirational!
Wooow,,, seems theres a lot og hate being thrown at this vid...
Lets see if i can help out a little...
And this is a great vid, addresses a lot of issues.
GnosticDjinn - You can't fit a fusion reactor in a airplane, they're gigantic.
LeMegasandwich - The world needs to use less fuel. This is an option.
chalkies - He's making a good point, solar powered flight is the way to go it seems.
Good video
yes, you are right
@Aerosteon
Haha nice way to put, I might wanna try!
I too almost shut her down and I am so glad I did not. Unloading ballast - I use altering gratification(boring and threatening) - I believe I will steal Bertrands metaphor. I doubt he'll mind. thank you!
Richard Bach's bi-plane had be share "my wings are still
a thoughts in flight
just letting the ballast of living under the thumb of those who began to make rules as if we do not have a mind of our own, and the more its took away, the more we can be told without question and will defend to the death, our truth instead of simply letting each have their own and our living in respect .let the veneer of the past fall waym be give present for life
a lot of hot air.
yeah, i just went there... deal with it.
Nothing is impossible, its just a question of how much you want it...
i suppose just fine since solar power could be then used as supplemental energy source or just one of many different sources of power like it is today with coal, nuclear, hydroelectric etc.
well im hoping the organic photovoltaic cells might boost the efficiency and drop the cost of solar cells to reasonable range. but im thinking mostly in 5-20 year range since first commercial Fusion reactors are predicted to come around untill 2030-2050 at earliest if i recall right. sure they wont take humanity to the stars but they might just keep us going till we can get there.
I always wonder that too! It's like all that talk about ethanol....they use more gasoline transporting the stuff than the actual ethanol saves.
A lot but that is not really the point the point is that technological alternatives are possible and if this works there are probably other option that will save energy especially after economies of scale are applied.
Nissan is manufacturing a new vehicle, the Leaf, which will be electric. Electric cars may not mean much in an area that generates electricity with coal/steam power, but it would make a lot of sense in an area that generates its power via water.
Wonderful!!! g8 ideas with philosophical support...
Wow he is awesome, thanks for sharing!
let's go slowly in the right direction
Quadriple the wing width, make the cabin a little more luxurious and okay for 4 to travel and start selling it to the thousands of people with fortunes over 50 million and really looking to go green. You'd have to make it go much faster though...at least 300km/h. A flying wing with 20 times the wing width might work. Give it a go mr. genius
You might not need such a large #wingspan if you made a tri-level wing. This could make it stronger and safer. By the way amazing achievements, it's neat to watch this old video and see what you've done since.
The current approach to fusion seems very wrong headed for me. You might want to take a look at the google tech talks on alternative energy schemes. Two alternatives in fusion to the tokamak design and the thorium fluoride liquid phase reactor.
I also think the geothermal is WAAY underrated as a source. Hot rock is fricking everywhere and the technology is already developed.
Shocking how few Americans have traveled to other countries. Kind of sad too.
I'm curious, how much energy did it take to make the plane? What resources does it take to make solar panels?
@michalchik Okay...you seem to know so much more than me. Good for you for making such informed decisions. Btw...monasteries are built by the government or philanthropists. Monks are only allowed to own 1.5 bowls (one for yourself and share another with another monk in case your bowl breaks) and 2 robes if I remember correctly.
psychedeliics is a good way to go vertically up the mind ladder, although it is not for everyone.
Yeah they can do it!
actually connecting buddhism and violence is super easy. The dali lama got his title from the mongols because the tibetans won a war against the mongols. there we are the "ocean of wisdom" is the ocean of wisdom because the first ocean of wisdom fought the mongols.
*geodesicks. It's in the sutta Pitaka. Buddha himself said his teachings would die to corruption 500 years after his death. A friend of mine who was buddhist discovered it while reading through it and it helped him decide to quit the group he was in because it was overly internally political rank and the ability to grant each other "benefits" were more important than the actual teachings.
Truly inspirational!
awesome, our soulattitude lives in trust all the fresh ideas, the posiibilityes come to mind stem from within. Love you for sharing it so eloquently, YES , YES, YES, out with the old, in with the kNEW, kNOW we's a flit fly through humanity's spiritual puberty, it a happen to us naturally, when the growth binges slow down and ah, so right, go slow, in the right direction, for the faster we travel the harder we crash. this about making the most of what's we have been give to have life work 4 us
watching this in 2020
If this kind of spirit wouldn't be useful or wouldn't make sense, we still would dance around our bonfire while wearing our hula skirts.
@Vid
Wonderful video. Pioneering spirit, I love the sound of that.
@CaptainKhrenov Thanks. The first time I tried to watch this vid I bailed after a minute.
So when do the flights start? Is there a carry on limit?
right so!
I see a resemblence!
i am learning english by watching these kind of videos. what does the "if we throw overboard this fundamentalism that some of the greens have showed in the past" part mean? what do the greens mean? at 4:30
I'm not sure, my first language is English and I'm pretty sure it is just a mistranslation.
Excellente philosophie
isn't it still true that solar panels cost more energy to make than they can use before degrading beyond use?
The greatest obstacle to fulfillment of the pioneering spirit is government.
yes, US government especially with the 'war on drugs' which includes hemp the unsmokable plant that has so many uses that would take away a large portion of profits from big companies.... =/
how is your work going by now ?
He's Jean Luc's grand grandfather
He will be.
@michalchik I'm the one that should refer to the no true Scotsman fallacy LOL. Who made the claim that all religions are immoral? Women are not excluded from having monasteries or heading them. I'll give you a leg up on this one though...there is a rule that says male monks can admonish female monks but female monks cannot admonish male monks. That's the extent of sexism on religious texts.
No worries mate. :)
You make a good point.
I use to be agnostic but the more research I did the more I found myself on the atheist side of things. ;)
You probably worded it correctly and I just read it wrong, :)
well that is true since what i know financing for some of the research and developement in helsinki university and helsinki university of technology are funded by middle eastern nations so they arent exactly doing their own research just outsourcing it. so that kind of scenario might be likely if things stay way they are. well unless middle eastern nations smarten up finally on last stretches and north korea gets a decent rebellion going.
had a hand in the "good", then that just seems unnecessarily narcissistic.
And when people say that God "did" the work, I don't believe they mean quite literally in a miraculous sense; they're just grateful for God granting the doctor (or whoever) the capacity to study and master his profession so that the act could be carried out.
Oh yeah my bad I was using the cultural expression of modern buddhism. Considering the buddha said that 500 years after his death all his teachings should be ignored as they will be corrupted. One has to state all buddhism is cultural buddhism and none of it can be literal because they ignored the expiration date Siddartha himself placed on it. So when one speaks of buddhism in the present tense one is speaking of cultural buddhism.
God is like the balloon itself, my man
@michalchik Don't confuse the original teachings of any religion with adulterated ones of a disciple. Most religious texts are not writted down by the original teacher, but by disciples later on. You need to really work on a lot of text before understand what was originally taught sometimes. (Not for the tripitaka though...pretty simple to understand)
Génial son jouet, mais où sont les avions électriques 10 ans plus tard ? L'histoire est cruelle pour les faux visionnaires.
wow a minute in and he's already tortured a metaphor.
Is it over yet?
@JustinHSabaj
Engage!
why can't we just put panels on jets flying now to REDUCE fuel. that would help.
🙏2020
The last part of the video about the traffic solution,
How stupid it is to charge people for using the streets and highways. unless they pay extra on paychecks. or they pay no tax. or the public transportation is free.
saving environments is just an excuse to fill up the governments pockets.
No, roof top units could never pay for themselves if that was true and they do so in about 7 years.
@crudhousefull You might want to look up the "no true Scotsman fallacy".
So how many women are monks and when was the last time a woman was in charge of that monastery? None and never? Hmmm... fancy that.
How were the stones of the monastery purchased? What about the statues? It was all monks that built everything. They weave the cloth and create the saffron dye?
There are good things and bad things in all religions and devotion means you have to obey both.
@crudhousefull You are right. Part of my Study of Buddhism and mysticism was meditation. I was also very religious up to my early 20's and prayed a lot. You assume a lot.
Those basic moral values are present in every human population and even have nascent signs in animals. They don't come from religions they come from biological and cultural evolution including reason. They become dominant in secular states because you no longer have religion endorsing immorality.
You are just for the ride this aint adventure
So what is the problem then - illiteracy ?
maybe it is his great grandson
He could join the mile high solar club.
just because you don't get it?
guh! anyone can make a metaphor for anything. It's not a special ability.
The more I watch the more I want to go on a rampage
why so many dislikes?
And again we discount the importance of good prenatal care, genetics, early childhood love and attention, a good educational systems, good healthcare for kids, a social safety net, a short enough work week that allowed parents to spend time with their kids, teachers who lit a fire under the kid to become something great, the scientists who gave the doctors the tools. Basically saying God gave me the talent to do this is as big a cop out as the devil made me do that rape. It is dangerous.
Is your father Jean-Luc Picard?
Ha, nuns fly? I haven't heard that one.
And where did I once aver that scientists are silly and that my hyperbole in any way says that God will lift me up.
It's a metaphor (much like the one Mr. Piccard used) and anyone who isn't out with a vengeful vendetta against a theistic point of view should be able to see that.
It seems not

@michalchik Got the answer ready for your next comment...but let's hear you voice it first lol
KEWWL Beans
And it's useful for what?
Speaking of "wasting our energy resources," the fact that there are people that have this much time and money to pursue such worthless hobbies while the majority of humans are creating the necessities of life shows the absurdity of the current energy and wealth allocations.
a lot of common sense here
@michalchik I'm living in Sri Lanka. I've volunteered at our local temple lol. I'm going to be a monk in a couple of years...yes I think I know what Buddhism is. Read the Tripitaka...which give you the guidelines for being a Buddhist...real easy language even someone like you can understand. Didn't I say that meditation could be used incorrectly? There are monks here that accumulate a lot of money...they aren't real monks...they are thieves.
I don't think that having a belief in God is mutually exclusive with being a good person or leading a rational life, but it does make it more difficult particularly if those beliefs are strong and fundamentalist.
I oppose magical or dogmatic thinking for the same reasons why I oppose any form of willful or apathetic ignorance. It is bad for the person, the country and the world.
So they praise God when someone lives, be it through fortunate circumstance (car accident) or the dexterity of a health profession or the bravery of a solider, etc.
Disregarding the fact that many doctors believe in a god, I'm still failing to see why this is an issue; your statement of why it matters does not tell me why there is any difference between the fortunate result being credited to God or circumstance. If your issue is with atheists being affronted by a theist's belief that God
it appears he is french for some reason i have problems "computing" english in frech accent.
Wierd thou as i speak english fluidly and also understand it whit any wierdo accent but french does confuse my brain. hmm maybe it is because the accent resembels my native language sweedish as much so the brain tries to compute swedish when its english i dunno i speak better finnish and english then swedish anyways LoL
@crudhousefull I suppose that you think the Golden Buddha the 5.5 metric tons, 177,000 troy ounces of GOLD worth about 300 million dollars was meditated into existence? Maybe the Thai Monks prayed their surplus rice into gold, no money involved?
Idolatry, Nah its just a meditation aid. Let me ask you this, how many times have you visited reality? Being a new age tourist doesn't make you worldy
If you don't know that mediation can be hazardous you have gotten crappy training.
@ferre347
How can you ask Allah for revenge at the same time you ask for wealth, if worldly wealth is transitory? If farah refers to transitory delights or pleasures, such as a desire for wealth Allah emphasizes the suroor over the farah. Allah also advises those who make comments of a hypocritical nature. Refer (7115)
@michalchik Lol. What immoral traits are endorsed in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism pray tell. Btw...part of what you say is true, moral values are naturally present in the vast majority of sentient beings, religions gives the tools to hone in on them or create them where they are not present. Also, how does meditation promote 'bottomless stupidity' and 'madness'? Lol. They become dominant in secular states!? LOL. How many countries have you lived in?
No my issue is that misattribution diminishes our ability to make good decisions. When we say its a miracle l that someone survived a gunshot, we discount the accomplishments of the doctors and scientists that made it possible. When we say all healing comes from God we stop thinking that research and good health practices are important. This is the religious baggage we must jettison if we will soar high as a species.
GET TO DA CHOPPA~~!!!!!
sorry....
@michalchik Lol...you studied Buddhism and Islam? Understanding of any concept is gained by personal insight. Religion only gives the tools for personal insight in the form of meditation and guidelines for living life (no killing, stealing, lying, treating others as you would want to be treated yourself). Reading anything doesn't do anything for you. Meditate! Reading something to prove a point doesn't do anything. Take yourself as an example of that
First, long time! happy new year
@ferre347 Perhaps? Yet arguing for more wealth from any standpoint (science, religion, notion of freedom), when wealth is interpreted as more money, rather than wealth defined as the well-being of society; fails to acknowledge an economy that does not incorporate pollution or environmental degradation (short and long term) as part of the growth/profit equation. Should I have misinterpreted your prayer to Allah for greater societal well-being, than I apologise yet, Revenge?... Beannacht.
This is the kind of talk that will get you laid if you repeat it to random women.
If it is read with the understanding that God's existence is a given, then the very definition of God conflicts with your statement that his existence has no ramifications for men and their actions. If you are stating that he doesn't exist, then what are you even comparing? To state that something as omnipotent as God (regardless of the debate on his existence) would have no effect on man's condition is just outrageous, sir.
;o))
Ah that is why nuns fly!
Silly scientists, why bother with thermodynamics and fluid dynamics when God will lift you up.
I await you god powered inventions eagerly.
Are you talking about other people projecting their belief in God's credit on other men's accomplishments? Or the men who accomplished it themselves giving God the credit? I see no problem with the latter, and I don't know if I've ever witnessed the former. And what does it matter to you if a man who believes in God claims that God's power helps him to navigate his existence?
That's a pretty unequivocal statement you make there, and in a way it is non-sense.
