While taking math tests in school I also had visions within my brain. They mostly consisted of me sitting on a stool in the corner with a dunce cap on my head.
That's good I was expecting something profound but found myself laughing my ass off. Touche`
😂
That made me laugh so hard
that one narrator makes me feel like I'm watching "how its made"
He's been narrating documentaries for years for the Discovery and Science channels. So its no coincidence :)
Some one needs to record this for music purposes.
Took me 9 years to find the video
R.I.P. Kim Peek. I liked this documentary and when this aired, a year or two later The Real Rainman premiered and I loved it. These documentaries give insights on how the mind works.
A neighbor's daughter had the same illness, and died at 21 years old, which was 6 years longer than expected by the doctor. She was unable to speak very clearly and could not live independently the whole time. I am glad to know there are kids who could outgrow that to a relatively normal level.
i keep punching my head but nothing..

LMAO. Best comment.

It's such an incredibly beautiful poetic line "sequences of numbers form landscapes in my mind" 16:48

Not sure... there's something about it coming from a savant I suppose but it also sounds like a really crummy late 60s hippie lyric ;)
blackmore4 Haha yea I suppose you're right ^^
To infinity, and beyond: Numbers hold the key to our Universe and Cosmos. This man is a genius.

Clearly a genius with incredible memory capabilities 🤔
he learned one of the most difficult languages in the world, fluently, in a week
I struggle to read a paragraph in my own language and remember it 🤪
Moonwalking with Einstein tackles his authenticity pretty well..its a worthwhile read.
Currently reading this for a human memory psych class. It's a very entertaining and informative book!
He is freaking emotionally stable...
with people like you we would be in the stone age still.
I have finals tomorrow, and here I am watching this guy do math. :3
+Xavier Cabz Did you pass?
Luckily, I did! :D
+Xavier Cabz nice!
I have synesthesia too. I experience what he does also. I am a calendar savant. One of 35 world wide. I am limited to a date range of 1900 - 2020. I enjoy memorizing factual information already created. in 2015 I memorized the schedules and classes of service for all trains on the Via Rail Canada network. This video was published on Friday October 19th, 2012 and 2012 was a leap year
calendar does not make sense it just randomness of numbers and letters you are lazy nothing more
calendar does not make sense it just randomness of numbers and letters you are lazy nothing more
What makes it so rare in his case is that he experiences emotion whenever he's in contact with numbers. Take 6 as an example, in his book 'born on a blue day' he writes that whenever someone feels sad or depressed he imagines himself being surrounded by sixes to understand these feelings. For him numbers are his friends, they are people.
But I do that too, preferring some numbers over others, giving inanimate objects personalities. It sort of is a childish thing, adults are rarer to do it.
Amazing guy
Just amazing. I am speechless. The last part with him learning to speak Icelandic in just one week wowed me.
I envy him
+Anthony Huber In answering his first question, he made an original joke and got spontaneous laughs from his interviewers. That's all I needed to see. It is easy enough to learn nouns, verbs, articles, and some adjectives and adverbs and put them together to carry on some concrete conversations, but to express abstractions and humor, which also requires timing, is astounding, especially in such a short time.
+Grady Philpott I could not agree more with you. He is still a young kid and I am anxious to see what is to come for his future.
He seems like a really nice guy. I'd like to meet him.
Daniel is so soft spoken and polite. So refreshing …. 👍🏻💕
Recently I created 10 different symbols, each assigned to a number from 0-10. I then drew a large shape composed of those symbols on a sheet of paper using a pencil. The shape that I drew I made to correlate with a sequence of 22 digits. I memorized the large shape in my head, and I was able to recite all 22 digits perfectly by thinking of the shape.
Normally I get tripped up around 6 numbers but this visual aide helped my memory. I'm thinking of trying a 50 digit shape or going even higher.
DarkSpydaIV Post the photograph.

The first is the 22 digit and the second is the 50 digit. The symbols differ between the two.
+DarkSpydaIV Brilliant!
Abhinav Mishra Thanks :D
Smart as hell idea
He can see the matrix.
This guy drank both the fucking pills... and look now. he is stuck in the real world but sees all the blady coding
Imagine having all these brain phenomenons activated together, at once! You'd literally be super human.
That's what AI will be like in about just 10 yrs from now.
But can he do it on a cold night in stoke?
looool
lol
+David Cardenas Sir! You just won the Internet!!!!
Can u explain the joke plz, sorry nglish is my second language
It's a football reference, about a world class player, for example like Messi, or Ronaldo, they do incredible stuff on the pitch, but can they do it on a cold night in Stoke, it's an english team, kinda bad and the pitch isn't that great
This guy should be travelling the world soaking up the knowledge of the world and then they should study him.
I almost cry. He can do so many good things with his ability. I want to know him.
yes, but can he spell "BOOBIES" on a calculator?

Cheers!
I watched this a less than a year ago for my psychology 101 class and all but forgot about it until I started up class again and decided to read more psychology books one of them being Daniel's book Born On A Blue Day, great book by the way. In the book he talks about his experience filming this and after reading it I decided to watch this again and I couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. For example the shots where he is standing in Times Square getting the time laps shots, must have been very overwhelming to him in his book he talks about how sometimes it gets so loud and he becomes so over stimulated that he has to plug his ears with his hands. There is a lot more details that went on behind the scenes and it was quite amazing to read about it.
Hard to beleive that that Neuroscientist dude is Ali G's cousin.
"December 5, 1998 was my birthday. I had cake."
"How can you remember that?!"
"I don't know. I had a Slinky accident when I was a kid and ever since then I can remember things no one else cares about."
The part where he sees characteristics in numbers, like 9 is tall and intimidating, 6 is small ... that's not so rare and strange, isn't it? I'm not a genius by any means but I've always seen human characteristics in everything, numbers, inanimate objects, weather, animals etc. I thought that was just a human thing to do.
Not to take this unusual thing away from him, it's very fascinating. That part is just stuck on my brain, though.
He wrote an interesting book which describes this. But there were also essays about snow, and its beauty, the fact that Tolstoy (who took an interest in calculus), in War and Peace, saw history and events as a kind of continuum, almost an infinite field of small events leading to the larger events; also he wrote about the composition of Lolita by Nabokov (who was also interested say in chess puzzles and knew languages and had read all of Shakespeare and much else on entering high school), how he wrote it in small sections on index cards which he later assembled; this meant that potentially he was creating an infinite book or could have; this led to his interest in the book 'Hopscotch' by Cortazar whose book can and is meant to be read in a near infinite number of ways. The book wasn't difficult and I found his writing quite gentle and all of it fairly easy to read (most of it, I skipped any difficult maths): but the way he sees things is fascinating. I was struck by what seems is his modesty and in some ways his simplicity, in a good sense.
‘Born on a blue Day’ is absolutely fascinating. Bravo Daniel. You are a savant and a gentleman. ❣️this film is well done…. 🙏 thank you.
It seems to me Daniel has the ability to reveal the secret of the universe through his brain and mind. I am speechless.
It's absolutely stunning how not only is his brain this powerful, but he's socially functional.
This was an incredible show!
Woa... The Last Doctor at the end was JIGSAW!!
One of the best inspirational book I read in years.It made me want to practice mnemonic techniques.
I knew a mathematician who could work out the cubic volume of a jar of pickles - but he couldnt work out how to get the lid off!
The Dr. Simon Baron Cohen in this documentary is Sacha Baron Cohens cousin. He sounds exactly like him!
speechless, this guy has a gift.... if you could sell this gift by the bottle youd be a gazillionaire!!!!
It’s pretty cool to see Daniel, who’s a supersavant, being impressed by Kim’s skills.
Fantastic! Congratulatioons Daniel T!
Not even gonna lie, as he was getting 21's in the three-split black jack, I was overwhelmed with so much awe. That was so awesome to see, especially Daniel's expression.
+Andrew Y. The casino segment seemed odd to me. First we're told that card counters can't beat blackjack any better than chance, then we're shown Daniel failing for a while followed by success. But that's the whole point of gambling in the first place - just as you're about to give up you win big, which keeps you motivated to play for even longer. So what's to say he didn't just get lucky??
@@erlendpowell7446 Oh, ...please! Yeah, really lucky to learn Icelandic in a week too! I can't believe you people.
:D. I scrolled to find a comment like yours. It was immense!
@Erlend Powell they can if they have he mind of a computer. If you bring a card couting machine to a blackjack table, you now have the advantage
Well done documentary.
What a lovely young man. His talent is the tip of the iceberg. He has a beautiful soul.
Forget AI, imagine what we can do if we can hack the limits of our own brains - along with extensions supplied by technology. This delightful and fascinating film follows a gentle genius from Great Britain with Rain Main-like abilities and a rare social adjustment. Usually the trade-offs among abilities are steeper, crueler.
Holy crap that's just plain amazing
Daniel's ability to see numbers up to 10,000 as individual numbers, and the other guy's abilities beginning after being hit in head are very evocative of the Borges story "Funes the Memorious".
It makes you wonder what potential a human brain can have considering we only use a fraction of it's power.
Wait a minute, Daniel’s ID expires on David Letterman’s Birthday…That is pretty weird, I just watched that interview which led me here.
He should use his ability to become a computer programmer
And help create Artificial Intelligence.
And take over the world.

Very interesting and amazing!
I had a seizure because of the alcohol, and when I waked up, I couldn't remember my name
This guy took cheating at school to a new level, had his cheat paper in his head, :/
+GainzRS It wasn't cheating. Cheating is using an external device or method. If it was in his head, then it's all internal and is therefore not cheating.
+Carl O So in your opinion, memorizing the answers to an exam is legitimate, and not at all cheating?
Erlend Powell There's no proof he memorized any answers to an exam. If he's able to calculate like this then he doesn't need to memorize answers for a math test. But even if he did, then it depends. If he had a look at the exam beforehand, then yeah, that's cheating. But If he memorized facts he thought would be on the exam and facts the instructor said would be on the exam, then no, that's not cheating.
Whether or not he had access to the content of the examination before it was actually given is what determines cheating in this case as he doesn't need an external cheat sheet.
+Erlend Powell Of course it's not. Isn't that what they expect you to do? To know the answers?
I love to come while eating rotten bananas in France. No. You're expected to understand how to derive the answers. How would you know which answers to memorize otherwise (unless you looked at the answer sheet).
Yeah, I heard that about someone else with similar ability to see numbers, that only specific whole numbers were visualized.
But I'm still wondering if he can picture 2 and -1 then see what they're doing under 2 x sqt -1 if these two numbers cause a shapes change or action on the shapes. Like he does when adding numbers-- the shapes interact and give him the answer.
I'm still really curious. His ability is really stronger than most with the same talent.
Place of birth: Barking
Ewan McGregor should play this guy in a movie
I don't think so. No offense to Ewan McGregor, but I think at this time, its less likely he'll portray this man. His career is in a different place these days. I think an unknown but brilliant young actor, hungry for work will pull it off.
The number 12,453 smells like the last 43 seconds of a 4 minute 31 second downpour on March 9, 1934 in Pampa, Texas.
I like how the video about Daniel Tammet is named "Brainman", which is a parody of Kim Peek's nickname, Rainman, who is another savant.
super smart guy + how it’s made guy narrating = I’m interested
This is the Amit incredible thing I ever seen rainman,-the top of human evolution,and this shows how the mind of a human being is made for more than waste inTv and garbage music...I deeply admire and thanks for posting ...I'm not smart but I pray that in the future there will be more humans like this and if there is An afterlife I pray I'll be like them ...
He could get rich using his abilities. I think he doesn't care about that though. You can't help but love this guy:)
How many of us, if like him..would use our abilities to get rich ? Counting cards, breaking codes..whatever..
And he’s a tutor, educating kids..that’s awesome. I remember seeing him on Letterman years ago,
he said David letterman looked like the number 551 I think, and that he was”quite a handsome man” real humble,cool guy.
117.
@@surfingawaveoflife Very tall number, very handsome, bit lanky, bit wobbly
me at 22:13 lol with the straw hat playin' chess that day when he came to Washington Square Park NYC IN THE VILLAGE
Hey !!!!! I saw you !!!!
May be more than a handful of people in the world that do these amazing mathematics. Donald, a patient at Sonoma State Hospital where I worked for 11 years, could also recite the correct day of the week for any date past or future in seconds. When I asked him on occasion how he did it he always said, as quickly as he normally talked, “I just figure it out”. No more than that.
Wanna have superpowers like this. Having a baseball bat lying around somewhere...
And here's me putting the cereal in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard after breakfast.
I really enjoyed reading Daniel’s autobiography born on a blue day it was very interesting.
He's amazingly genius! What other languages does he also speak?
Give him a language, and a week in which to learn it, and he'll have one more language under his belt.
How long is a piece of string?
That man is incredible....nice ability...i like that
I can do this after bongs. its easy
This guy should be doing the top math problems, like Hilbert's or Landau's problems
Unfortunately this is probably what our brains were made to do. We just choose not to use them for their full potential.
That's a really good question, since high level chess is mostly about memorization
This video was mentioned in Joshua Foer's book Moonwalking With Einstein. I came to watch it after reading the book. Foer has a different take on how Tammet manages incoming information. Recommended reading.
Real life rainman, fucking amazing. AND he seems almost normal! I am really impressed by this extraordinary individual!
This ocumentary certaintly brings Moonwalking with Einstein to life. "The little Rainman in all of us" lol.
it's interesting....and extremely logical....how he describes "6" and almost nothing and "9" as something large.....cool!
I need a seizure. I want this capability.
Once we figure out the brain we'll all have these abilities
Maybe these are the types of people we should be voting in as Presidents. You know, people that are extremely overly intelligent?
Amazing.
Only stupid people think this is amazing 🤦🏼♂️
Beautiful brain, beautiful man.
Amazing!!!
Amazing ignore the haters just a waste of time reading
Awesome person! So willingly contributing to science as he does is so cool! If you are running out of ideas on what to do with him to test some brain abilities please let me know as there is so many things that have been puzzling me on the human mind that Daniel could answer.
Things like this with people many they say it's a gift
37 x 37 x 37 x 37...
I would go about doing this by first; 37 x 10 = 370 then 370 x 4 = 1,480, only then you must also take into account that - for the sake of simplicity - the second 37 was rounded up to *40* (so to be broken into multiples of 10 & 4) instead of remaing as it was originally, as 37, and the sum of 1,480 must have 3 sums of 37 - or 111 altogether - subtracted from it, to equal 1,369. One could imagine how the process continues from here, but in case you cannot just let me assure you, it's still pretty baffling that this guy can manage to maintain his calculations so consistently with such efficient pace. Also, I doubt he is using the method I just described. It seems way more fluid for him. If my life were being staked on the matter of solving this problem in my head, I would probably have to go with this hectic method for any realistic chance at tackling this. I'd probably lose my shit upon nearing the final solution either way, Daniel is literally incredible by definition
A language in seven days. Man i would like to have this ability.
Phenomenal!
Ohhh, alright I get it. So it's not that he just attaches personalities and emotions, it's that the numbers are his way of identifying and feeling and communicating those emotions. Now that I understand, it makes him that much more interesting. Almost if a calculator was turned into a human, you know?
Here I am, sitting and order food online, and it takes me two minutes to remember what Nutella is called. Thanks Universe.
As a synesthete, he's consciously aware of subconscious processes.
The voice for this, is the same guy that voices "How Its Made", this is all I can do, Im a genius
He is truly amazing. He is blessed with such a gift:)
17:53 He described five numbers here..... clap of thunder. Is there any documentation available where we can learn about the other 9996 numbers? Or the big will keep it's mystery to the dark? :|
My initial thought was there would be 10. Then they said up to 10 thousand. Which indicates everything is different on their own, and he has a limit.
26:10 to 26:15
Daniel's smile there is priceless
This was a cool How It's Made
Haha, I'm glad someone else noticed that! I'm not calling bullshit on him at all, it's just unique that he starts cranking out the numbers at that exact point.
Amazing gifted man....
He's very fortunate to have a brain which is connected to a universal capability we should all have but unfortunately don't.
