Simple Ideas, Scientific Discoveries (video)
"
How simple ideas lead to scientific discoveries - Adam Savage - YouTube:
"Adam Savage walks through two spectacular examples of profound scientific discoveries that came from simple, creative methods anyone could have followed -- Eratosthenes' calculation of the Earth's circumference around 200 BC and Hippolyte Fizeau's measurement of the speed of light in 1849. Lesson by Adam Savage, animation by TED-Ed."
