Science of Stupid 2   無厘頭科學研究所 第二季
by Ivy Liu

This show's motto is, "Learn the science behind the action and remain safe."
本節目的座右銘為:『學習行動背後的科學原理,且還要保住一命。』

  The Internet has a cornucopia of videos of people hilariously performing stupid stunts and hurting themselves. These misguided people fail miserably in their adventurous endeavors in front of a camera, laying their humiliation bare for everyone to laugh at as the videos are uploaded to the web. Some may call laughing at people hurting themselves schadenfreude, or pleasure derived from someone's misfortune. While it may be impolite to laugh at others' mishaps, no one expected their failure to be so funny.
  The ensuing hilarity of each video clip, coupled with scientific analyses on what went wrong, is presented on National Geographic Channel's (NGC) Science of Stupid 2, hosted by Richard Hammond. Each episode contains 50 to 60 clips, ranging from daily activities and sports to stunts and adventures. As is expected, some amateurs who try to tackle scientific principles, like the laws of physics, end up failing terribly. Hammond gives scientific explanations as to what happened in each clip, accompanied with animated re-creations of the videos, to show what should have been done instead.
  In one episode, the feats of running on water and breathing fire are examined in depth. Both stunts have been around for millennia, but one is pure myth and the other is highly dangerous, even for professionals. For humans to run on water, they would have to run at a speed of 67 miles per hour, which is about three times faster than Usain Bolt, currently the world's fastest man. To breathe fire safely, a specific type of fuel and technique is a surefire way to not set you aflame. However, that doesn't stop people failing time and again. To find out more about this episode and bellow with laughter, check out Science of Stupid 2 this month on NGC.

無厘頭科學研究所 第二季
本節目的座右銘為:『學習行動背後的科學原理,且還要保住一命。』

  網路上充斥著很多人搞笑表演愚蠢的特技還讓自己受傷的影片。鏡頭前,這些弄巧成拙的人在他們大膽的冒險嘗試中慘遭失敗,這些影片被上傳到網路上時,每個人皆嘲笑他們,尷尬之情表露無遺。有些人可能會將嘲笑他人弄傷自己的行為稱為幸災樂禍,或是來自別人不幸的喜悅。儘管嘲笑他人的不幸可能很無禮,但沒有人料到他們的失敗會如此讓人發笑。
  這每一段因搞笑而產生的影片與問題所在的科學分析做結合,將在由理查•哈蒙德所主持的國家地理頻道 (NGC)《無厘頭科學研究所 第二季》中播出。每一集包含了五十至六十部短片,從日常活動及運動到特技冒險都有。不出所料,一些想挑戰像是物理定律的科學原理的新手最後皆以慘敗告終。哈蒙德對於每支短片裡所發生的事件給予科學解釋,搭配動畫重製影片來解釋原本應該怎麼做。
  在某一集當中,節目深入探討在水上奔跑和噴火的壯舉。這兩項特技皆已存在近千年之久,不過其中一項純屬虛構,而另一項即使對專業人士來說危險性都是很高的。人類要能夠在水上奔跑,他們得以時速六十七英里奔馳,這相當於比目前世上跑最快的男子尤塞恩•柏特將近快上了三倍。要安全的噴火,某種特定類型的燃油及手法是保證讓你免於著火的方法。然而,這並不能阻止人們屢次的失敗。欲了解更多有關本集的單元,還想要放聲大笑,請觀賞本月國家地理頻道《無厘頭科學研究所 第二季》。
