TED - 2008-07-31
http://www.ted.com Robert Lang is a pioneer of the newest kind of origami -- using math and engineering principles to fold mind-blowingly intricate designs that are beautiful and, sometimes, very useful.
The reason the audience is laughing is:
a) Rob is a funny dude.
b) Sometimes you laugh because you find something overwhelming.
This man is a genius. He left his job at NASA to study the maths of origami. He even found out that ANYTHING can be created with origami.
Jabsjetz if im a super artistic amazingness , i would make a foldable house and cary it wherever i go, boom! You’ll never forget your homework !

I just watched his WIRED video and he hasn't aged at all in 11 years.
>2008 was 11 years ago
he folded his own genes to prevent aging.
The advantages of simple origami are twofold.

Hahaha. I laughed so hard at this comment!
Wonder if someday he discovers a way to fold space-time, so we can travel unfathomable distances in an instant without moving.
That is a good insight. I also wonder about the potential for this methodology to be applied to other problems.
What you said is actually self-contradictory, the process of folding space-time involves moving, hence you can't travel unfathomable distance without moving.
the amount of people mad about the laughing in the background is sad, he obviously had sarcastic and funny remarks in his presentation to catch the audiences attention.
Guys
Why are you wondering why there’s people laughing
He made jokes during his presentation
I’d be sad for him if nobody laughed
I myself, besides the fact that I was hypnotized by what he was saying, laughed a few times during the presentation
Me too!! The way he explained about how origami has changed was very interesting and useful!! I, myself, am so inspired to use these techniques and ideas to make my own origami creations!!
Totally agree they were mainly laughing when he make jokes I just felt bad when you could hear random laughing in the background when he was showing each piece of origami...he was showing Intricate, really difficult art pieces to create and there wasn’t anything funny about it so idk why would you laugh at that lol
@Katie F sometimes people laugh when they are surprised and or amazed ...
I understand the baseline of the whole presentation and concept. But what I don't understand is why are people laughing about it.
I think it is also funny when repeatly sais that we can dead poeple do our work.
He is funny to nerds. I laughed too
Because the origami sculptures are downright astounding, they don't look real
I laughed at surprise, that I have learned something totaly new.
This is going to be a great video to show to my math class. Those kids struggled through folding a paper crane... maybe this will give them some hope, or at least some perspective. After all, "it's simple!"
one of the best origami masters of the 21st century.
ahhhhh hard to say. He is good, and he "weights" a lot mostly because of treemaker and his book origami design secrets.
Considering his folds, models, wouldnt put him so high.
Shuki Kato, Kamiya Satoshi, Eric Joisel, there are so many great folders, Robert doesent stand out of other 30 greatest by nothing.
Like Eric Joisel stood out for example
President of the 21st Origami, would fit.
I am floored. the most amazing folding is probably our DNA......
Well... Then check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB0FMshudqE
i used to have an origami busines but it.... folded. ;) j/k
@Anonymous Mike ayyy
why don't we teach math the origami way?
Chansophop Kaing i would never feel sleepy in math if that happens
"Origami meme"
“A sheet can never penetrate a fold.”
What?!
Bönzeaux Bleuxgrën i’m still trying to understand what he meant lmao
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you!!
I've seen dozens of TEDTALKS and this one is a new favourite! Really amazing possibilities!
10:51 This guy approves!!
10:03 wait am I the only one that saw Benjamine Zander in the audience?!?!
I saw him tooo
Who he?
@Just Awake look up Benjamin zander ted talk
He loved that origami organist
i had to add this to my faves. it was something i never knew and it showed me what origami is...math. its crazy. just awsome *****
The laughter come from absolute delight.
I gots to get me some of that! Why don't they teach us this in university?
10:04 THAT'S BENJAMIN ZANDER IN THE BACK OMGGG
Ik
9:37 HOLY CRAP THE FOUNDER OF "THE MEME".
And yes he is right, in 2017 there is origami engineering, they are inventing multidicipliner tools with huge range, medicine to space. It is saving our lives now.
applies in the are of compliant mechanisms...
10:04 on the right...THATS BENJAMIN ZANDER who did the best ted talk of all times “the transformative power of classical music”
LOL at the Nokia ad.
Love it! Gives me inspiration.
GENIUS!!!!
The same thing happened when the mathematics of how to draw persepective was discovered in the 14th/15th century and was incorporated into art, which suddenly no longer looked flat.
Amazing! "Oh world of wonders."
17:50 it was the beginning of when you noticed you'd just spent half a thousand dollars on a tiny crippled computer because of commercials like these.
Wait,this is an infomercial? hm.
As a lifelong nerd, this includes two of my all time favourite things: origami and space! Thank you!!!
@14:02 origami saving lives.
Excelente palestra!
wow, I'm kind of speechless :)
Where can we learn more about this? I mean the methods, mathematical models, etc. To create your own designs?
@gazgirl94 He's mine too, he is just so amazing and good at making beautifully designed origami.
This talk is awesome!
時おりに
なぜだかおこる
笑い声
03:30 hehehe, penetrate...
look up Robert's book on origami if your interested in learning more!
Which one is that?
origami design secrets
Has any he used the tree maker program I wonder how it will work out
@AUSTIN GRAY
Yes, he has used it to make the diablo version of the tarantula as mentioned in the website. I've downloaded it and the circle packing kinda rocks.... a very useful software .
See Elon Musk in the audience?
This is my fave on youtube, completely inspirational for me. he is my mathematics hero (R.L).
I find this very intersting to be a hobby, and I'm gonna try it :)
just think how may TED videos we can watch now :)
Tree maker!!!

ORIGAMI MEMES
This was in 2008, the man was ahead of his time.
Dragon Curve Enthusiast - 2019-10-12
I think it might have been another reference to the earlier talk on biology and evolution. The word meme was made up by Richard Dawkins in the late 70s. I guess most of the people who use the word don't know they are citing Richard Dawkins.
Hidden Spirit - 2019-11-30
Godly based before it was cool
Janet Shaffer - 2019-12-02
He is discovering God's marvelous and astounding thought process!

what would you say about this T.Sundara 'Row'! 1893 - http://stadt-annaburg.de/cms/uploads/media/tsundararowsgeo00rowrich.pdf ? :)
