    I'm relieved I don't have to cut my food consumption in half.

    I was kinda scratching my head as to why 20% or so people disliked this video. I read some of the comments and I'm still scratching my head for a different reason. There is a group of people that want all things to be pure research and the knowledge given away for free and have no commercial aspect. Then there is the group that sees no need for anything that is purely science research without a large portion being of commercial benefit. Reality is in the middle.

    This guy knows more about taking food off of people's table than putting food on it.

    This straining my patience. The title tells me nothing, and four minutes in I still haven't the slightest idea what (if anything) this talk is about.
    Ok, six minutes in it's finally getting of the ground and becoming interesting.

    The book looks gorgeous and it is five volumes, which makes the $750 price tag a little easier to bear, but 'What Einstein Told His Cook" was a) cheaper and b) was what got me interested in the mechanics of cooking in the first place. And c) doesn't ask questions like "Why does conduction heat things more quickly than convection?" Answer: Most things conduct heat better than air. Easy.
    But pretty photography and science makes me want the book set anyway.

    Nathan Myhrvold is one of my inspirations, a contemporary true polymath. And his lab, Intellectual Ventures, is an awesome institution.

    Did anyone catch what he said at 1:30? The most profound thing I have ever heard. WOW!!!

    • @wits2014
      @wits2014 4 роки тому +2

      What?... "in order to learn their way of cooking, you have to go work in their restaurants"....? Or "the old way of looking at food is the old way"...?
      Neither of these statements are not in the least startling to me... both very apparent, to me... So what illicits the "WOW!"... from you ?

  • @maggie94306

    I completely agree that this is undeserving of TED. If I want to watch commercials, they are not hard to find.

    • @cuscof2
      @cuscof2 6 років тому

      Yes, part of it. I've been in there, and it's extremely cool. They have megawatt lasers, metal lathes, liquid nitrogen, millisecond cameras, a supercomputer, and a kitchen that could be in a 5-star restaurant. They also have a lab that grows mosquitoes (apparently that's hard to do) for another project, a laser that automatically targets and shoots only the female mosquitoes, and can select by species.

    Looking at Myhrvold 10 years later, it's pretty clear he didn't cut his food in half.

    4:51 ...some people think we use Photoshop, but we don't really...
    5:40 ...and you suubstitute the edges, and that part uses Photoshop...
    I was impressed for just under a minute...

    when i first read the title i though it was some sort of way to help you eat less. although cutting everything in your kitchen in half does help achieve this goal, i don't think it's very effective.
