Next time, you guys should use larger safety mats! Had Julia fallen a slightly different way, she would have slammed her head into the concrete and would have suffered _severe_ head/brain trauma.
The mats should probably extend at least 1.5x to 2.0x the height of the individual from the individuals position at any point.
Take safety seriously, guys!
+Sean Lumly if you are stupid enough to just stand and let yourself fall over.. then yeah.. you need some mats
+Sean Lumly She DID get a nice slight roll though, that helped break her fall a bit.
Damn mate chill u dont know these people
Seriously these two are so funny together
+erwin olsson ikr
I SHIP IT
+erwin olsson Actually there more truth to that than you may know.
"It took so long to get it up." -Trace Dominguez (2015)
Shame that Julia had to wait for so long.
"It was little harder than I expected", Julia (circa 2015).
+megagene That's what she... okay
You're welcome. ;)
YO BOYS!! GO HERE--> facebook.com/810944209017852/photos/a.810945725684367.1073741828.810944209017852/810945679017705/?type=3&theater&pidid=26fa4516-c78d-46c6-8694-5058c06ba5ad FOR THE Heroes Charge CHEAT THAT WORKS! IM USING IT :) The Secret To Balancing On A Tightrope
I think Trace fell down intentionally to make Julia's fall look normal.
+potugadu yep it looked so much like that :)
+potugadu yeah, like falling from a tightrope is absolutely abnormal
Lol that comment made my day lol
Lol ikr
+Давид Аветисян savage xD
the secret is to get ... balanced
+E SC Just like an artillery piece!
+E SC Nice video..Interesting info.

you're god damn right I do
RAISING YOUR ARMS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOOTHPICK. Raising your arms ONLY increases your moment of inertia, it actually slightly raises your center of gravity. Since the toothpick is in static equilibrium, the magnitude of moment of inertia DOES NOT MATTER, the only important thing the fork/spoon does is lower the center of gravity. The toothpick balances by the center of gravity being BELOW the support point. A tight rope walker actively keeps their center of gravity about directly above the point of support. The higher moment of inertia gives them a slower rotational acceleration when falling, so that they have more time to correct themselves by temporarily spinning themselves towards the fall artificially faster in order to produce a force against the rope towards the side their falling in order for the rope to push back the other way and allow them to get more mass on the opposite side, allowing gravity to produce a torque that slows their rotation towards the fall that they had previously purposely increased.
That is a very good onservatikn
+JWQweqOPDH up vote to you, down vote to the video.
+1

Raising your arms actually slightly raises your center of gravity. +1
don't know what the hell they are talking about...
+JWQweqOPDH exactly, thats what i was saying. That being said, u can always view it as a relationship between lateral vs vertical distribution of mass. If you only increase only laterally but not vertically, relative to the height, the weight is spread more. easier to balance.(then again, its easier cuz moment of inertia increases)
The centre of mass is not lowered when you put your arms out, but you are right about the inertia.
The centre of mass of a human body is at the naval (around the belly button). With your arms down by your sides (standard state) your mass sits their comfortably. Raising your arms will raise the centre of mass but allow you to make adjustments for rotational forces to attempt to keep your centre of mass over the rope, instability from this causes you to fall further and further off the rope until eventually you reach the limit you can recover your CoM.
Some tight rope poles bend at the ends lowering the centre off mass (Assuming the CoM of the pole and your arms is below your naval) This makes it easier.
Unless you hold a significantly heavy pole below your naval, it would be hard to lower you CoM by any significant degree. What the long pole does is lower your CoM compared to the arms out method and allows (using a degree of skill) the user to better control the rotational forces around the rope.
Nice try on explaining a fairly complex system, the demonstration was good too.
+DemonXeron Yup
+DemonXeron -.- Hate it when they get things wrong. Hope this gets more upvotes
+ChuzzyBuddy Agreed, let's talk about Julia instead.
3:10 don't break Julia! She's so fragile, and sweet... Wrap her in plastic, put her on a shelf, and she'll stay perfect forever and ever
+Sp00ky “Autistic” GayLord read your username lol
+tramsgar That is kinda creepy O.o
+tramsgar Remember to circulate formaldehyde through her system, you don't want her to spoil now do you?
en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Formaldehyde#Tissue_fixative_and_embalming_agent
people are so obsessed with Julia in these comment sections omg
I agree, Joanna, and also not; I'm just being concerned here. Normally I think female hosts, however lovely, shouldn't have to hear all these unsolicited compliments, but when that poor thing falls over and I cannot be there for her, helping her up, asking how she is and if the baby is ok, you know I just have to express it in the comments. Empathy, girl, just centered a bit lower on the body.
"You know what makes life easier? Intel..."
aaaaaaaaand close tab
3:10 the girl falls. people ask "are you okay?"
3:15 the guy falls. camera close up..
2:39 "The baaady" 😂
@3:24 when the high five is almost perfectly along the color split of the set o_o
3:28 That face made the ad totally worth it. ^_^
Smooth moves, Trace. And nice chucks
Awesome episode!
And if Julia is reading the comments I feel that I need to apologies for all the creeps
Awesome Video Guys!!!
very nice episode,,,,
funny
Julia just stolen my heart..
Andy Biersack is kawaii
+AxE Law Go sue her -_-
+AxE Law She stealed mine as well.
tramsgar Wow, many cases of stolen organs. Do you happen to be in Mexico?
ANDY BIERSACK IS BETTER!!!
hey guys, do u know why the important part of the tooth pick doesn't burn??
this should be titled, "watch Trace and Julia get rekt"
Nooooo, this is magic!
Where can you buy tightrope wire
mind blown
I would love to see more of these kind of episodes. So nice to not just your upper half talking. You're good at talking though! ^_^
You guys should talk about slackline balancing physics!
You should have tried walking the rope with a not-so-stiff pole. One of those long ones that arch and the tips seem to reach a point lower than your feet. I suspect that would make walking the rope a lot easier.
no wonder ninja can walk on water, balance on ropes and climb trees. lol
Finding this hard to accept. Is the curvature of the fork and spoon towards the glass and under the toothpick a key factor?
Did someone forget to tell the hosts that you were using a multi-camera setup for the experiment section?
love this video!!!!!!! xD
That's fantasmic
I always do this trick with two forks instead of one with a spoon. Everyone I've ever shown this to has been completed amazed
I loved you guys falling!
lol, you guys are awesome
anyone else notice the camera was a bit off today.
You guys need to do a video on the BerenstEin/berenstAin debate. I always remembered it as BerenstEin.
Next you guys should tightrope on a building it'd be fun!
Damn, Chase looked like he was going to make it to the other end of the rope.
Why can't you guys make a self replicating molecule?
+abrahamchapman They did, but off camera, lol.
Wouldn't it make more sense to put the red pads on the sides instead of under the rope
At 3:09, "What're thoseeeeee?"
can we get some more footage of Julie on the tightrope ?
When Julia fell, they asked whether she was okay. When Trace fell, they didn't ask.
am I the only one that thinks that inertia has little to do with the toothpick example? it's more about a stable system where the center of gravity is vertically aligned with the support.
i was taught this with 2 forks and a quarter. never even considered a spoon
Awwww... I don't want Julia to get hurt!!! 👊😕
The transition between the actual video topic and the advertising for the sponsor is always so seamless that it usually takes me at least 10 seconds to realize that you are praising Intel or another company again.
Cub Scout handbook stuff. Fun activities section.
Firstly, when you were explaining what Centre of Gravity(CoG) was you said it balances along top and bottom, that's wrong. That's more appropriate for the definition of Centre of Mass. Centre of Gravity shifts as you rotate the non-uniform body.
Secondly, spreading your arms raises your Centre of Gravity because the mass is constant. You only bring it down with the pole because of its weight. Which is why a moderately heavy pole works better than, say Balsa wood of the same dimensions.
Can you make a video about what Will happen to the guy getting a head transplant in 2017? Will he lose his 'soul'?
I do not understand why this content is posted on this channel instead of the Hard Science channel. Yes, back in the day Hard Science did not grow a large audience very quickly. But considering the recent successes of Testtube Plus and Testtube 101, it's worth it to give Hard Science another chance to build an audience.
*Hears Intel...Closes Tab*
Four candles?
She is gorgeous. And damn that looked like a hard fall hope you're ok
How can one trick their eyes to see clearly underwater?
Wow. They must really love intel. They speak of it often
+Isaac Carmichael pretty sure they are sponsored by them
I was poking fun at them
Julia.
"When we use our hands to balance we lower our centre of gravity" What? How do you lower your COG by holding your hands up? It's the opposite. Sometimes I think they are just reading a script
how does walking on slack line compare to tight rope.... I can slack line but i never tried a tight rope
Looks like im gonna pass my physics test.....
I actually have this cup
Fyi the most important part of the trick is to take a drink from the glass without dropping the spork ;)
I knew that trick just with two forks and match, no lighter.
I always thought it is called center of mass, since it is more accurate. The object has no gravity it has mass, gravity affects it
DNews is like bringing Hard Science back with all these experiments. Gosh I missed Tara & Anthony :/
Same.
Barking dog plz!!!!!
the secret to balance is to not fall
Robidium vs Francium in real life :'D
i love you Julia 😍
as far as I know you can't lower your center of gravity aka center of mass by raising Mass. like extending your arms out. rotational inertia, yes. lowering gravity, no.
SPORK!
The wire's definitely not tight enough :V It's easier walking on the rope when it's been pulled up tight and isn't as wobbly :)
3:10 going to appear on Ridiculousness
who watch the bouncy bouncy over and over, 2:51 ?
0.25 my friend, 0.25
So hear me out. It’s a common misconception that having your arms out to the side helps you balance. It’s does the opposite! When walking a line, you want your arms up more than you do to the side! You can move your arms to adjust your balance but it’s easier to be thrown off if they’re out to the sides!
Where did the creative types/mental illness video go? I was going to watch that now but it's gone.
How does wireless charging work?
+Jeremy Brunnenmeyer Mostly no.
But it still works, so I want to know how
em resonance.
Take those shoes off!
julia Kreygasm
finally she got hurt
Crazy! :P
I wonder if Julia even comes down to the comment section, considering the fact that at least 20% is about her looking good and people worshipping her.
few innuendos in this
these two are becoming more of a symbolic icons of science rather than mere presenting reporters or so.. I see them two years from now in a big science conference on tv its a bit annoying how the internet works
3:09 :(
fucking intel haha
She is so cute and beautiful
year 13 mechanics yaaaah
Yes 1st one to whach this Dnews video
+b2222006 gamer nope
do more tight rope vids
This video is half wrong. Raising your arms doesn't lower your center of gravity. The balancing pole (or your extended arms) also don't help you recover your balance by lowering your CG. The spoon/fork balance because the CG is below the balancing point. On the tightrope, you would need to lower your arms or the steel bar below the rope (balance point) for the same effect. The reason the steel bar works is it has a high amount of rotational mass. This allows you to correct your position by rotating the bar clockwise or counter-clockwise. Extended arms have the same effect.
hey guys why some people do not inherit the color of eyes of their parents?
+Michifusa Gaming cause they're adopted.
D-News.... what are you doing with your life?
+Grimmstaman trying to bring balance to it, obviously
+Peter Schmidt to the top!
hey try slacklining :)
Menthos and Diet Coke
wtf i clikced on vid to find secret to balancing a tipe rope so why the fuck am i seeing a spoon and fork trick?
Julia is seriously cute. She the babe
I'm in love with Julia. That"s it. That's all I wanted to say. What? Why are you still reading? GET LOST.
Rising your arms lowers your center of gravity? No.
