Using Math to Skate On Thin Ice
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 07. 2019
- People get nervous when they see Märten Ajne ice skating. He intentionally skates on extremely thin ice. Ajne has pursued this dangerous hobby for 40 years and has skated on more than 1,800 bodies of water from Norway to North America. He uses his knowledge as a mathematician and a highly-trained ear to stay safe. Ajne can actually calculate how thick the ice is by listening to the sound it makes when he glides across it. Join us for one of the coolest math lessons ever taught.

Funny! In math class my grades are the one skating on thin ice.
Damn I can relate to that
This is so original 😂
Gurple Purple omg 😂
You must be getting A’s in english and grammar
Well your not alone lol
This guy should be in math textbooks instead of people who have 30 pineapples and 50 melons
Johnny with 20 bottles of dish soap
@NutellaNugget MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS DAVID. WHY YOU WORRY ABOUT IT?
IT'S my LiFe! Damn
The guy with 30 pineapples and 50 melons probably fell through thin ice because of the extra weight and should be memorialized...
@NutellaNugget johnny johnny
Are you eating soap
Lil Ho has 50 Jamaican leaves.
How many does Ho need to get high
I’m bad at math, so I’m assuming the chances of me falling are exponentially higher
I’m Bad at math so my chances of falling are lower I believe
I just don't walk on the ice tbh
Order of magnitude
I’m Asian, so I can’t be bad at school or math
I am also bad at math so the chances of me falling in are lower
"I've been skating on thin ice for 40 years." Same, but figuratively.
@@dev-ei9oz woooooosh
This comment is hilarious and deserves more love
@@sarahwong754 thx :)

My *Grades* have been skating for 8years on thin ice now
"He skates in places like Norway"
*Shows a picture of Sweden*
Gaming Kraken He is swedish right?
Gaming Kraken Shows map of where he as skates.
@@jonasthemovie ye, the narrator got it wrong
August Hjertstedt How did they get it wrong?

student: we will never use algebra in real life
teacher: let me show you a video
*shows this*
students: +10 brain cells
BeautifulPink PrettyTreeYT2.0 Congrats! Your students has gained +10 Brain Cells! Your student’s level is now -12!
Lol
Yes I love fucking skating on thin ice and doing math in my head the entire time
Awe yes I will totally need algebra to measure ice so it's possible for me to skate on it
Woah you just gained 10 more brain cells then I have
Hope he has done the math to get out of water in case he falls
I know this is a joke, but it is most certain that he has had his ice baths to learn from mistakes. I'm no mathematician, but every year I go to weak ice and it's always very exciting adventure. You'll learn from it. I've had my share of ice baths as well from falling through ice, but last time that happened.... 15 years ago or so?
We learn what to do when we fall under ice in sweden
MrZarewna r/woooosh?
@@r3ki474 As I said in the beginning, I know it is a joke. No woosh for me. Just wanted to clarify it's natural to learn these things. You don't need to be a mathematician to do so.
AviationGeek-14 r/wooosh
I though he was going to write math problems with his skates.
Can be dope af

I personally stay on dry ground... I mean you could too if you want, it's fun

He’s skated in Norway
Proceeds to show a map containing like 2 in Norway and 17600 in Sweden
oober bear He skated in North America, also shows a map of North America. See how that works?
kakikori He is swedish........
@@jonasthemovie I feel like you must have misunderstood both comments. OP was pointing out that Norway was mentioned by name, despite the guy having only skated on a couple of lakes there, while he has skated on hundreds in Sweden. Additionally, the map is centered on Sweden, so why was Norway the country mentioned by name in the narration? Shouldn't it have been Sweden that was mentioned?
Hope that clears things up.
The real question is why did he mention Central and Eastern Europe whilst showing Sweden and Finland on the map?
It's all fun and games until you slip and fall into freezing cold water
first (also sub to my channel pls)
oh hello, long time no see.
Hi
Hey, let’s have some... fun ;)
First time seeing justin y with less that 20 likes
Amazing!! Id love to try it, but with this guy as my instructor. Math and nature coming together 🔢✖➕➖➗💚
Dude i read the title as "using meth to skate on thin ice"
nice video man a always learn a lot of you guys thank you
Love these types of videos!
‘He has studied ice for ten years’
This man spends 1/4 of his life looking at ice. Respect.
Bruh imagine if you died beacause
You miscalculated a single number
pretty sure that's happened before
BRUH IMAGINE IF YOU BRUH BECAUSE YOU BRUH A SINGLE BRUH.
Bruh
When I lived in Maine I use to do this on rivers. The middle would be flowing water and frozen along the edges of the river , stream. Ice would freeze over the rocks made natural ramps. On the stream I would jump over the unfrozen part. One time I jumped the middle and when I landed on the other side one leg went through the ice up to my knee. My momentum nearly snapped my knee over like a chicken leg. It hurt for a long time.
When the math teacher says “you’re laying on thin ice”
*modern problems require modern solutions*
I love how you can see the flexibility of the ice as he skates!
*When you have the highest grade in math*
Interesting. He is using clack skates which are fairly rare. They are attached just at the toe, usually using a cross-country ski boot.
Once you know how to work the formula it all comes down to experience. Everyone can do the math that prepares you to ice skate like this but not everyone can make that formula. Good video, must be fun to measure and then live the testing phase of the formula: this man is X.
That’s a pretty cool mathmation
Graphic showed an A when narrator said it was a high C. Up another line!
Glad I'm not the only one it triggered. They must've been thinking in the bass, or else just didn't do any research.
The illustrator nailed this one. Smh
It actually is a high C, not an A.
they show the G at 00:46 under the first added line and when they show the C at 00:47 you can see that the graphic goes up for another line.
This is like the coolest thing youtube recommended in a while
*Albert Einstein:* Ah that's cold! That's cold!
Gahh. It's Winter time!
At first I thought the title was “using meth skate on thin ice”!
I mean you could.... it wouldn't be as effective though
lol no XD
Mathematician: "I've been skating on thin ice for 40 years."
Me: Lol, same here buddy.
@2:15 is a gorgeous shot. I can only imagine how good it would feel to skate with the glowing sun going down(?) in front of you.
Wow fascinating !!!
It is amazing that mathematics can help sc8ting on ice
The views are breathtaking but too dangerous for my blood.
Rammiii I appreciate it bro, it help my skin
Most free skating is done on ice 10+ cm thick. It's mostly safe :) This quy is on the extreme edge of this hobby, but there are many many skaters in the Nordic countries, most of them alive from year to year :)
@@kaurvirunurm I have the grace and balance of a sloth. It’s not happening 🙈
You can see the ice bending when he skates, amazing.
Why is everyone else’s math teacher so cool
“Highest C”
*shows A”
🤔🤔🤔
They confused the clefs.
I was looking for this comment lmao
"He has skated in Norway"
\*shows Sweden*
It's actually a C, they just didn't show the line below it, if you watch closely how the picture differs from the one shown several seconds before you see that they show 2 different lines on top and in the second picutre they just dont show the one below
Like compare picture 0.42 to the one at 0.47 , the line on the top is at another height
so this is the only time when math comes in handy..
In my town in Finland every year at autumn there is always couple cases who have drowned when they tried to skate too early on too thin ice
Man, this is an old story...feel like I watched it on CZcams a year or so ago...still neat video!
Meet MARTEN AJNE
MARTEN AJNE:Hi im Marten Ajne
everybody gangsta until the thin ice breaks
I went on ice as thin as 1.5" or 38mm when I was a kid and about 120 lbs. I was cracking, but still supported well. It was a river, so I stayed rather close to shore where I had shoveled an area. Not the smartest thing to do, but I remember it well.
Except for the danger of missing essential rescue equipment, your wasn't that much off in your assessment.
He stated that 30 mm was the thinnest ice he would trust skating.
Please use the ice friction energy to navigate. At very low voltages you can use airfriction or skatte vibration ultrasound that is store somewher in the iron. Thank you.
"Norway" *shows map of sweden*
Fred Map of where he has skated, including Norway and easter Europe. But guess what, most dots are in Sweden.
It’s Big BRaiN TimE
Thats one passionate mathematician
Never thought that a math Teacher would be soooo *Cool*
That’s cool....I hate maths .-.
When he says norway it looks like ge has skated more in sweden. XD
Ville Lindskog He is swedish so it is kinda obvious...
@@jonasthemovie yes but they said norway
Ville Lindskog and also eastern Europe.....
@@jonasthemovie sweden is in northwestern europe
Ville Lindskog Yes? They show a map of all the places he has skated and mentions Norway and eastern Europe. What is the problem?
ive played pond hockey but this guy is nuts.
You need to enchant your skies with frostwalker
Some people like to game. Some people like to read. This man however, blows everyone else out of the water.
Oh hi Justin
oH hEy jUstIn
Nice try at least..
Better watch out bud your skating on thin ice
That sound is a music to my ears
You con also use of ultrasounds geneated by the skates to probe the ice,:by a symple iron tablets mounted in the skatte blade to navigate or to probe the ice thickness or inertialy or even thermally at very low voltages. Anyhow thank you for my SFI courses. Take care.
How is this so mathy
If that’s even a word
he knows how thin the ice is by hearing the pitches whilst he skates, for an example hearing a highest pitch means the ice is 3cm which is as thin as it gets before it finally cracks
he uses coincidence frequency (when a vibration is sufficiently achieved to the wavelength of the ice so it’s equivalent to the wavelength in the air)
Oh, thanks
Since he has a good maths brain..
He has more than 10, 000 IQ
You have gone too far dude.
Haven’t I seen this video somewhere else before?
What does he do in the summer study on how to walk on water
Me: *sees name* “Mortan Aj-knee”
Him: “I’m Mortan Eye-ner”
Me: 🤨
It will be more fun when you drop in the water 💧:)
You're a sick human being
Happend to me last year. Quite an experience
gameplay Channel well go try it my freind fell in ice once it is very dangerous so he is a good human to be honest
@@gameplaychannel1309 You are sicker
gameplay Channel ik I am sik in a good way and your in bad :)
Man: I’m good at math
Thin ice: *am I a joke to you?*
I like that you say Norway and shows Sweden👍🏼
There is nothing mathematical about what he does, a quick google search shows he falls through the ice often.
I am mathematician but I don't know how I can use my MATH to be a millionaire!? Anyone with idea !!!?
There's actually a video on that too. A mathematician became a billionaire by using math in the stock market.

Rob a bank and use math to plan lol
This caught my attention because I'm good at math while being a freestyle ice skater
So coool!!!
9+10=21
2:06 Thats not Norway, thats Sweden. Can you please waste literally one minute of your life to give us the right facts next time?
Actually that's UK
@@TheDonkyGamePlay i mean the second picture, where he said Norway... 🙃🙃
@@subtopewdiepie2967 did you know Norway conquered Sweden and Equatorial Guinea? And France has been exiled by Luxembourg to Brazil?
I inadvertently did this once , I was on a walk with my sister and it had just frozen over the day before and I was like imma be dumb and I went out into the lake by our place and we heard it and like we both knew what it was but it was awesome none the less
This channel can put television shows to shame
wasn't this uploaded before?
That sound when he skates on ice sounds like when you pick up something from a game or lot’s of something
What an absolute madlad
Maths Teacher : Maths will get you so far in life!
Me : yeah right.
This Man : *hold my skates*
You are such a brave and extraordinarily intelligent man. How beautiful this much be.
2:07 that’s Sweden and Finland, only 2 seems to be in Norway
He can do my homework literally any day
Love how he things sweden is norway
Student: Do I need all this knowledge in the future
Maths teacher: Yeah, for ice-skating
Norway! My home ❤🏞⛰🏔
Ohh Dr . Marten Ajne my Father taught me to "wild ice " skate decades ago on frozen bays along the lake where we live in California!!! He would tap the ice with a strong hiking pole to check how thick it was and off we would skate! Even though we live in California, we live over two thousand meters in altitude!
Love it
This guy would be a great ice fisherman
"I couldn't do math to save my life."
On thin ice, that expression becomes literal.
Apparently there is a use for the stuff I learn in class
My teacher: You'll lose math in the real world, I swear
Math in the real world:
You already know I’m gonna play pondy with him
Up next on strange addictions
Aye, props to the camera man
What’s it like falling in thin ice
That is METAL.
This is the guy you hear teachers talk about when teaching quadratic equations.
🤔This is the one time IRL when you can actually use those math equations they taught you. 😆😂🤣
he deserves a prize.
Yea right, this guy is trying to cover up the underwater space battle
NOW it makes sense why glass break when a too high pitched sound is produced
Finally a use for math
2:06 They got Sweden and Norway mixed up. He's been skating very much in Sweden but not at all in Norway according to the map, yet the voiceover said "Norway". He's from Sweden.
Also, in the description, his name is spelt wrong. He's called Mårten, but it's written 'Märten' there. Mårten is a common Swedish name, Märten isn't a real name. Yes, there is a difference between Å and Ä.
