This is the breathtaking story of Daniel Tammet. A twenty-something with extraordinary mental abilities, Daniel is one of the world's few savants. He can do calculations to 100 decimal places in his head, and learn a language in a week.
He also meets the world's most famous savant, the man who inspired Dustin Hoffman's character in the Oscar winning film 'Rain Man'
This documentary follows Daniel as he travels to America to meet the scientists who are convinced he may hold the key to unlocking similar abilities in everyone. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
2nd time watching this and I can't remember shit!
Hey! I wanted to make a comment for time stamps I've created just in case some people need them! (it is not finished yet)
0:00 - 0:28 ~ Intro
0:28 - 1:18 ~ Hook (to get you intrigued)
1:19 - 9:12 ~ About Daniel
3:45 - 4:15 ~ describing synergistic (not entirely defining yet it though I don't think)
3:28 - 8:06 ~ PI to the 22,500th place
8:22 - 9:12 ~ Daniel's Childhood (more later)
9:24 - 10:24 Orlando Serrell, date and weather (name might be spelled wrong)
10:25 - 15:45 maybe??? ~ Savants & Autism (and more about Daniel's childhood) *[Also, I'd like to point out; they make it sound like Daniel doesn't have autism; Daniel does have autism/Asperger's he is just high functioning/good at masking/good at acting neurotical]*
Again, it's not done yet and I might not get back to this. Sorry for anyone who wanted all the timestamps. Feel free to add more time stamps in the replies!
someone hit me in the head so i can get this power plz!!! xD
right
ok mate *hits you in the left temple with a baseball bat*
My first wife used to do this!...she had the maintenance payments worked out to the penny every week!!
+Mike Jenkins I notice that you say your 'first wife used to do this'.. did it get annoying..?
Ha Ha. yeah!!..till I moved to Scotland, but that was a long,long time ago!
Well, now that you have become a Scot, you won't pay a single penny more than you have to
One of many things I thought of midway in the video were, I wonder if Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Archimedes, Tesla, Leonardo, Bohr etc. were similar in some ways to this individual. (Functioning savants ) From memory I recall mention in books and documentaries many of them displayed odd or quirky behavior for their periodizations.
The documentary is a bit disappointing, as it errs a lot on the side "oh this guy is awesome" but doesn't make much effort to explain his mental abilities. Also what about problem solving skills and abstract reasoning? Many PETs are shown in the video but no comment is done about them. So there are a lot of unanswered questions, but trying to answer them was evidently not the point of the documentary.
bet he never forgets his girlfrens birthday
He’s actually gay
@@joeturner8769 bet he never forgets his boyfriends birthday
@@joeturner8769 Where'd you read that?
@@hugedoofus it’s on his wiki
Videos like this make my sad that i'm not a genius like other people out there.
Don't be sad, be happy for who you are and how you were created!
clearly daniel has developed the method of loci's very well.. i noticed than on the tecniques of him when reciting pi..clearly some of his genius was based on mnemonics and he's so good cuz he developed it at a very young age..lol..idk what im sayin..haha
+Wei Shen You are correct.
Interesting documentary. I believe we all have the ability. We all have a unique key to unlock our amazements
I am impressed not with his abilities but with the stratling evidence that Tammett has apparently no interest on doing anything original or creative with these talents. Real genius involves doing original work and there is nothing about this in this video, neither in the other cases shown in the video. Einstein, Beethoven, Picasso were geniuses. This word should be used with care.
You sound jealous!!!
I like that he's incredibly gifted mentally but not arrogant about it, even complements other 'normal' people. That's another mental gift, in this ego driven world.
I really love that you noticed this!
Do you think why he see's the number 6 so small & dark & hard to explain a religion reference? Such as 666???? Just asking?
Dougie Mac no
If anyone's wondering what happened to this guy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet
He's done really well in regards to success. He's had numerous best selling books, a TED talk. Guy has really done well!
He's also happily married to his male partner and lives in Paris. Great!
Daniel I am going out to the Casino this weekend to play a few card games, do you fancy tagging along?
God has given Daniel a very special brain.........
Wish I were a savant...
Side Note: Watching this at 1.5x speed makes the narrator sound like Jimmy from South Park
After watching this documentary, I am convinced that beauty and love assume mathematical forms---so as emotion. And somehow, Howard Gardner will be the triumphant hero to us all because his theory about human intelligence accommodates the lexical definition of the "possibility" as "reality."
Daniel, what is your method? Would be nice to ask...
He is truly blessed by his unfortunate/fortunate events... but pay attention to the segment between time frame 19:20 and 19:30... I love how they make this sound like there is a scientific discovery ... "You might hear a sound, or see a color" haha... I must be a genius because I always hear sounds and see colors...
my apologies they don't say "or see a color" I listened to it one more time, they said "you might hear a sound and see a color" I get it now :D
I did this myself and Daniel is wrong about pi. the 20941st number is a 6 not a 7. Just thought I'd let everybody know.
It comes to him naturally, not instantly. He doesn't have to think much about it, and he certainly doesn't do the arithmetic everyone else does.
Dude i can't hear anything but the music... legit can't hear a thing they are saying.
I'm surprised that the documentary doesn't mention synesthesia. His condition seems more closely related to this than to an actual sevant. He associates numbers with shapes and colors.
+Chris Willett lol he´s not a savant he´s just a guy who just has synethesia without any mathematical ability associated to it.
+Sam Clayton The video does mention synesthesia. However, they mention it very briefly and I had to rewind in order to catch it.
He isn't technically a savant, because he hasn't been diagnosed with a mental disability. He is a genius though, and many synesthetes historically have been (Tesla, Feynman, etc).
yeah, Sylar loves to know how your brain works.
Honestly, I am glad I am not that smart... I have a IQ of 137 (which isn't super high) and I see so much stupidity within the world. I wish I was dumb sometimes just so I wouldn't have to see all the stupidity in the world. Being smart is great but (no offense to this guy) unless you use it to change the world, then what good is it really for. You can make money without being super smart lol.
Taking nothing away from this genuis..but it Occured to me the when people say they can recite the nth value of pie...they are just running a mental calculation...its a simple hack that needs stron subtraction skill and fast recall for multiples of 7....and then its darn simple there onwards......however this guy is one in a Billion...!!!
Why they tested him against the patzers of new York city. Those chess players he played with in central park are non titled player. most of their chess strength rate at 1700.A super chess grandmaster rating is 2800 point. can you see the difference in thinking skill?Those sharks in central square relying in beating a 1200 to 1400 rated chess player and they do it for money.
Good documentary, but the chess thing wasn't impressive. There are many chess players who can look at a board for a few moments, then go and reconstruct the exact same game on another board.
Fantastic Documentary. The guy based on Rain Man, so much better than the film. He is awesome. Such a nice man :-)
Psych 101 brought me here. This shit like the X men 🔥🔥
doing mathematics without thinking. bull shit. if that was true then he would reply instantly, but he does have an amazing brain.
HOW ABOUT YOUR ABILITY TO READ COMPUTER LANGUAGE? 1011001010101111110001...? COULD THIS GIVE AN EDGE ON TRANSLATION OF LANGUAGES ?
they didn't even take the guy to an iq test. I'm very disappointed.
He's SOOOOOOOOO blessed :)!
wow..that's amazing..be safe..much love
Hey, it's Borat's brother..
I was pumped up to continue learning more and more English with this. I don't now why. We'll see in the future hehe. but he is a freak of nature.
How'd the learning more English go?
DJItchyBoo
so far so good. I do not have really much time, but I constantly manage to listen to my fav podcasts when I'm on the move, cooking, driving, commuting, etc. Speaking is lacking nowadays, but at least I am on auto-pilot mode. thanks for asking.
how its going today? ;)
Stig larsen
hehe English is a burning flame inside me. it's always there in every thing I do. I plan to take an exam this year(FCE). Ask me again half way through the year. Thanks for asking. ;)
@@juampy725663 how is ur english now?
Like other have said here it would be nice to be this smart but if your not going to use it to better this world then what good is it.
I would give this GUY a problem that Einstein theory of time travel and other physics questions and see if he could solve them now this would be one Hell of a break through
isn't math like a language you just have to keep on using it. Like a 2nd language
I was hit hard in the head and I bleed. Then after that I could memorize the entire history textbook in 1 day for my exams. But I have to learn to forget things because I can't store too much memory or it will cause me to malfunction...
He still doesn't show such great intelligence!
I mean they didn't test him, but still he doesn't actually show any sign of an extrodinary problem solving ability.
Reciting Pi doesn't work like that at all. No one is calculating it in their heads. Most of those reciting to large numbers of digits use a memory system which involves a narrative.
i don't see way, he learn in a different way than normal people.
He could probably do some research, with low interaction with other research, and should not realy teach
I don't understand how he's only a freelance tutor when he's almost insanely brilliant.
He writes books too
very interesting, i believe i have an very abnormal high memory for things i see helps me to draw cool things that i see
i remember the prophet in the bible named Daniel. maybe he was inspired with this prophet that can interpret the meaning of dreams. here we come another Daniel or another Einsteins or Tesla to develop.
I don't want to sound rude but it seems that his "incredible" intelligence is only good for making tv appearances. Somehow I don't see him solving one of Hilbert's problems or creating something other than his own image.
I try very hard not to let my jealousy take over my courtesy, but sometimes i can't control it and i hate myself for it, and this is one of those times.. I wish had a talent similar to that but not exactly like it.. Maybe even just a tiny part of it will do.. But I guess jealousy is a part of inspiration or ''being inspired''..
In the consistency test he could have just remembered what he made, they should have done something like make 140 , then the next day make 6140, there must have been the same shape as 140 but with an extra bit added.
Why the hell does the translator for the japanese teacher speaks like a japanese? Did they found someone from street to translate or what?
Because 3872531375541297305278.
woooow, I use my smartphone to remember things. My second brain. But! I can see logic in a different way to solve problems in a practical method. Everyone has different skills. A lot of intelligence seems to be focused on a memory game. I believe that's not the game.
It's creepy yet somewhat fascinating how he dislikes the number 6 since it does represent negative meanings from historical times.
I don't understand this sh*t
30:45 I see things like that at times. I call it the flow, as in the flow of the world. The way things are going to go. That sense is what needs to be tapped into, its almost a physic ability. I have no doubt humans can tap into that with the right mind state over time.
I never heard of this guy until I accidentally came across it....I was searching neanderthals .....
Good for him.
ladies and gentlemen, the greatest mind of the 21 century, daniel tammet.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he was saying that he might hear a sound when seeing a number
I scared when will the mother ship beam him up
better than girly boy..
This is so easy to understand he's brain but my english isn't well enough to explain it.
Another reason to get a concussion!
Here, I am losing my memory day by day. I am losing my calculation capability. How can improve?????
his consciousness is higher than yours or mine. incredible
Does anyone know the music being played at the last 20 seconds of the video much appreciated
33:46 that skeptical smile .. I would smack his face right now
A real one.. my sister and I both took one. I scored 137 and she scored 141.
what can we do to make this world better, under your point of view?
ever herd smartest is just lazy to do it?
Aw come on don't be like that. We didn't do it on purpose
If I could safely hit the left side of my head...hmmm...lol
There's no god to give Daniel a very special brain.
Omg the Narrator is the 8th Doctor
yeah I also think he should use his great mind to develope science(s) :D
No doubt, should be a professor at a high end university.
Do you see an computer creating anything? Or a calculator solving a problems that is yet unsolved? His brain is essentially a computer that can think fast. That can help him in process of discovering new methods or creating new things but that does not mean he will become an inventor that can create many things by himself.(Actually that type of scientists became obsolete in the modern age)
Interesting, your comment. I was thinking while watching the clip, to what purpose does his skill benefit himself or mankind. A computer can calculate Pi out to 30 digits, future computers may take it to 100, and a computer does it in milliseconds, but who needs more and who needs him to do it. Taking Pi out to 22k places is essentially useless. Perhaps I'm thinking too limited, but his fascinating ability is not much more than entertaining.
hes a barking boy like me, how have i never heard of him
Buen video crak, nuevo sub, sigue así
"And sometimes I hit them" lol
You go right on thinking that *pat pat*
ETC. ETC, ETC.
no way 13 divide by 97 noooo wayyy
what a wonderful story
What if , we ask him calculate pi ?
This reminds me of the movie Limitless
Is his doctor Borat's brother?
this guy needs to study math
lol wow
Why is it always a boy?
watch out for sylar
19:17 "you might hear a sound..." Isn't that whats supposed to happen?
Well kinda? Some thoughts I can "hear" other thoughts I just think of and it feels like its not one f the 5 senses, especially if it's subconscious thoughts. (I'm not a savant btw)
As for the guy in the video, he might hear bubble rap popping and reed the color red when he thinks of the number 5. As they explained, this is synesthisa; connecting unrelated things by your 5 main scenes. I say "5 main scenes" cause humans have a lot more then 5 (for example, our 6th scenes is balance and awareness; if I asked you to close your eyes and then tough your nose, you can do that because your 6th scene told you where your nose was even though you couldn't feel, see, hear, taste, or smell it)
Also, fun fact: 70% of humans have a mild form of synestisia. What color is the sound 'a' as in apple? (mine's dandelion yellow or apple red) What about 'e' as in me? (mine's dark green or spring green) 70% of people will have an answer. Most of the time this wont actually help us but still. More info here:

Amazing..
amazing
im icelandic and that is just insane so impressive
Mr.DayTiMe what does it have to do with you being from island?
umm,maybe because he learned Icelandic in a week?
Dang he is s.m.a.r.t
*s.m.r.t.
Anyone can do them simple sums!!!
he's kinda hot too
