There are many questions out there that intrigue us but we never seem to have the time or the knowledge to find the answers. Questions such as, How many balloons would it take to airlift a man? Can a playing card be hurled fast enough to inflict more harm than just a paper cut? And if you eat Pop Rocks and drink soda, will your stomach explode from all that fizzy stuff?
MYTHBUSTERS is the show that will answer these questions for you. Hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage who are both well adept in the fiel of special effects. These two make it their solem duty to prove or disprove urban legends and many other nagging questions.
Jamie and Adam use a powerful combination of physics, chemistry, biology, and geometry to lay out their experiments, and usually the steps preceding the test are as fascinating to watch as the test itself. They often call in experts in rocket science, explosives, physiology, and other disciplines for background and guidance in specialized areas.
One episode took on the age-old Pop Rocks question as Jamie and Adam hung a pig's stomach, which apparently is similar to a human's, in a human skeleton to test its durability against six candy packets and a six-pack of soda consumed simultaneously.
The team makes a good comedic duo; Jamie's dry humor is the perfect complement to Adam's crazy antics and wisecracks. The fun, fact-filled show will answer some of those long-standing "what ifs" that may have been nagging at you, demonstrating how much fun science can be to boot. Especially for those of you out there that love to see explosions and destruction.
