She reminds me of the type of professor that I would have in college that could captivate the entire classroom, as she talked about absolutely anything. Solely based on her enthusiasm on the subject.
@@seanwebb605. Actually, she'd be the material to mimic. I can understand your saturation in certain ways and material. But let's not turn something natural (yes natural to some people) into one more conspiracy. Occam's razor , some people are what they seem to be. Unless kids come across really odd to you, as well, since they are mimicking what they see.
@@iron60bitch62 So, I'm "artificially animated" in my real life when explaining stuff? Some of us just experience and even relay the same stimulus whether we discover or share, given no prior training in doing so. The same some don't even take it personally when our sense of authority over a matter is found wanting. It's exciting to be wrong (providing you survive the process). Reassessing one's own line brings more to the table to study, understand and share. I suggest you try it ;)
Love the way she speaks and the narrative she presents and it is an idea I feel very much in support of. Concepts, ideas... even "art" that is usually deemed as not important to science or progress at a specific point in time has proven many times to inspire or even be the engine of great change. Great and inspiring talk!
I went to one of her talks in London on particle accelerators. She's a seriously good communicator and I really do agree with this message here! Let me leave you all a quote by Paul Dirac which I first saw in Butterworth's book 'Smashing Physics': 'In my case this article of faith is that the human race will continue to live forever and will develop and progress without limit. This is the assumption I must make for my peace of mind. Living is worthwhile if one can contribute in some small way to the endless chain of progress.' Dirac had indeed achieved what he hoped to. Physics is integral to our very lives and no knowledge is useless
The world goes by fine because it's got people like her: passoionate, excited, and happy in what she does! At first I didn't know and it was hard to undertand what kind of theory she tries to state here but no doubt about it. Technology made by previous scientists now is all about applications.
There are two types of research, sanctioned and unsanctioned. Historically, which of the two have provided greater insight and been the more productive? In my experience the latter and by a long way. In fact, there are no current references or existing context for my work. I have spent three decades waiting for science and technology to catch up to start practice. There are leaders, followers and those whose work ultimately directs both.
My experience is that a lot of time and attention goes towards chasing funding and incentivized publishing targets rather than engaging curiously in research, so she has a point. There's a mentality that too much research goes into fundamentals and less so towards applications that stimulates the economy. Well, without the fundamentals, there's nothing to bring to application.
She gave some really good examples, but I feel the need to supplement, specifically, that curiosity-driven research *_in physics_* is much more powerful than corresponding scientific fields (excluding mathematics in this context). The utilitarian benefits of curiosity-driven research in physics cannot be disregarded due to the fact that physics is the most general field with respect to reality. Mathematics is, of course, the most general field with respect to the "sciences" except that it does not need to justify itself to reality, merely, to the set of axioms for which mathematicians have agreed upon and mathematical logic. Mathematics, for example, produces a lot of unintuitive results that could seem absurd in reality. Of course, general research into particle physics, particles for which permeates all physical entities, would come with extreme utilitarian benefits. Physics can contribute to biology, the other way around, however, is much less likely.
I finished reading The Matter of Everything a few minutes ago. The book is quite likely the best book I've read in years and if it's not it is certainly the most thought-provoking and inspiring book I've ever read.
You elect people who will fund basic research and higher education, and keep people employed and unafraid for their future. The people who do curiosity-driven research, by definition, don't need incentivisation. What they do need are the resources, time and money to do it, and a lack of *discouragement*. Fear is the enemy of creativity, and despair is the enemy of imagination.
@@tommcewan7936 Aye. Agreed that the researchers need little incentives. The machinery around them, conducive to their work (unfortunately) does. One without the other is not realistic, imo. Elections are too granular and leave much time-gap in-between, and cluster too many agenda-topics into one single check-box; that's not realistic either :(
Amazing, I'm in love with her voice as well! Teach me everything! I'd like to do research about her voice teaching people! Her voice should be on every computer!
It won't touch you - but the electrons may accelerate your atoms faster than some molecular bonds are able to compensate - aka breaking and ripping your body.
Yes it is curiosity that excites most children and needs to be encouraged but also financially supported. We should initiate a world study on educational systems and implement a tested and proven educational institution in the U.S. But we won't, guess who will....China, Germany, South Korea, Netherlands, Japan..etc. The NASA Insight landing today on Mars does give me hope for science leading no matter what our leaders try to ignore.
Pretty incredible to learn about the minuta in everyday devices and a good case for curiosity driven research . Doesn't hurt that she's as beautiful as she is intelligent !
*Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.*
Sad, but probably true. We went to the moon because of a cold war, not because of curiosity. However, most people that don't know science history reteach that story as if we did go to the moon out of curiosity. Maybe we should try to change this anti-curiosity narrative in society, like this women is trying to do so elegantly in this vid.
Good presentation skills, idiotic content and ideas. She is trying to persuade us about the good things of science (driven out of curiosity), while "forgeting" the bad things caused by science. How convenient!
She reminds me of the type of professor that I would have in college that could captivate the entire classroom, as she talked about absolutely anything. Solely based on her enthusiasm on the subject.
And then did the exam on nothing they talked about
Her voice makes it sound as though she's freshly excited each new second
Sammy Martin Standard Ted Talk cadence. All of them think they are William Shatner.
The Australian accent is simultaneously the sexiest accent for a woman and the cringiest for a man.
@@seanwebb605 Or maybe she's genuinely excited and communicative. After all, standards do have their origins ;)
@@LuckyPig Maybe she is just mimicking what she has seen from others? It comes across really odd.

She is so passionate about this, I love it
larut mrs It is a technique of public speaking
@@iron60bitch62 or maybe that's how she is

Bravo. Well said. Messing around, being curious, can lead to many things. Things build on things. Things fuel ideas for other things.
What about steam engines powered by ancient manuscripts containing pure and pristine calligraphy?
So after watching this TED talk multiple times I have come to the conclusion that she is a wizard. Let that sink in

We watched this speech on the TedXStockholm event. So interesting and inspiring! ♥️
Agreed. But how does one incentivise this? It is a long shot hope on the foresight and benevolence of PHBs :/

That curiosity and enthusiasm is amazing.

It is a very nice topic for tedx.
I loved it
You're thirsty af
I don't understand what you said
Often times, this leads to solutions waiting for problems.
Very great advocacy for curiosity. Great lecture.
If I run in front of a train it will not actually touch me.
@PlaceOfOrigin no they won't... that's the point.
Lol!
It won't touch you - but the electrons may accelerate your atoms faster than some molecular bonds are able to compensate - aka breaking and ripping your body.
nicely done man
Research Time!
Shout Out! CJ Cayanga And Rhona Retotal!
Love this stuff.
Thank you
Thanks for reminding me TED. Sayonara.
Humanity is thriving on curiosity; but then again excess of anything and everything is bad.
🙌✌
but we are human. it is our duty to break the limit.
@MrFatilo can't agree more then that.
Excess of anything and everything is bad ... You never seriously thought that through.

nah
Eloquently said by Marianne Williamson.
And yet every time I tell people exactly that-they throw garbage at me.
I am very passionate about my profession, so she's not the only one.
Grant money driven research is all we have now. "I'm not paying you to look behind THAT curtain. Step away."
I would love to research things I love all the time! How do I get a job researching climate change with no money?
Walk and live off the land. Pack some sandwiches to give yourself a good start.
This is a beautiful talk, i will do curiosity driven research
This is awesome
Nice one!
isn't the x-ray harmful?
She sounds like a soft spoken version of Hermione Granger
Love from india
Amen!
... I love her. ❤️
Her voice looks like meditation voice...
ASMR ?! :)
So nice voice
"I'm an accelerator physicist" quite ironic when her marvellous voice is rather the opposite
So how is her voice the opposite of a physicist's? What exactly is the "proper" voice for an accelerator physicist in your world?
@@jmcsquared18 it was an irony my friend
"Your voice is decelerating!"
i love red hair
No government, corporation or Agency is going to appreciate 'curiosity-driven research' on them.
