Now, to be honest, I can comfortably light it with TWO piece of wires and not ONE.
So , was it a trick question?
Technically, those are havard grads.
Please weigh in.
you saw at 2:00 a kid do it with one wire... so nyaahhhh .Zero-shift said:Now, to be honest, I can comfortably light it with TWO piece of wires and not ONE.
Yes. But we can connect one terminal of the bulb directly to one terminal of the battery like a guy did at 1:58...Zero-shift said:I can comfortably light it with TWO piece of wires and not ONE
Maybe.. The question was "Do you think you can light a bulb using a battery and a wire?". Even if I could complete the circuit with just one wire (like a guy did at 1:58), I can't be sure if the bulb will light up. If the battery voltage is not sufficient, it won't light up even though the circuit is complete.Zero-shift said:So , was it a trick question?

This has become the norm on the internet in general. Youtube can promise results when looking for this type of behavior. Sad. I can't decide if it is since a lot of people like to see themselves have some input or if they are just jerks. As usual, the biggest mouths have the least to say in terms of substance.jim hardy said:Take a look at the comments on the youtube site.
It's kinda sad because the responses to the video show a baser side of human behavior, to build one's self up by tearing down others

Good and new things often come from questioning the status quo.
You would i think like his writingOmCheeto said:ps. I read the entire wiki entry on "Eric Hoffer", which is why I eventually pushed the "like" button on Jim's post, as most everything else just depressed the hell out of me.

i started with "The Passionate State of Mind" a collection of aphorisms. Some are immediately funny , some take weeks to figure out.

While MIT graduates are known for their intelligence and problem-solving abilities, this particular statement is a false and misleading stereotype. MIT graduates are more than capable of powering a light bulb with a battery, as they possess the knowledge and skills to do so.
No, there is no truth to this statement. It is simply a misconception and stereotype about the capabilities of MIT graduates. In fact, many MIT graduates have gone on to make groundbreaking contributions to fields such as engineering and technology, which require a deep understanding of power and electricity.
MIT graduates possess a wide range of skills, including a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and engineering principles. They also have hands-on experience with designing and building various electrical circuits, making them more than qualified to power a simple light bulb with a battery.
While powering a light bulb with a battery may seem like a simple task, it does require a certain level of knowledge and understanding of electricity. However, with proper training and education, anyone can learn how to do it, including MIT graduates.
It is important to dispel stereotypes about the capabilities of MIT graduates because they are not only false and misleading, but they also undermine the achievements and potential of these individuals. MIT graduates are highly skilled and talented individuals who have the ability to make significant contributions to society and should not be limited by false stereotypes.
