'Mythbusters' Exhibit Coming To The Fleet

>>> The TV show MythBusters has for years been the place to learn the answers to crucial questions like does quicksand really pull you under and how Mentos make Diet Coke explode. The show explores whether or not the everyday scientific phenomena we all believe are true are really true. At the short hiatus, MythBusters returned to TV last year. With a new cast but the same curiosity. Now MythBusters exhibition comes to the science center. It gives visitors a glimpse into how the MythBusters do their stuff and an opportunity to do hands on with busting themselves. Joining me are the new host of MythBusters Jon Lung and Brian Louden. Did you guys think that you would ever be able to jump into glass and blow things up. >> I could say that I dreamed of it but I didn't think it would be possible I thought it was impossible because it was a dream. >> Yauk is me and Brian have been watching MythBusters separately for 14 years. The first time he blew off his eyebrow tilt when he blew up that truck we've been with them the whole time and we have been huge than -- fan since. >>> What is your background? >> I am a product designer. Anything you can touch or use has been designed by me. >>> Brian? My background is a little different than Brian's. I am your redneck scientists. I have done everything from building Joe -- Drones, blacksmith, my degree is in biology and studying human D comp in a body farm. >>> How much of these experiments are science and how much are just fine. >> That is the best question you can ask. There's this idea that MythBusters go out there and teaches everyone science. It led to experience science your part of the whole thing. Science is coming up with the question and repeat testing and so you can narrow that down to a concept. On MythBusters we are only part of the process we come up with the question developed the first test and let everyone be a part of the first test and then we give an answer. Sometimes there might need to be more data but the first question always has an answer it's not just the final answer and we bring the audience with us to the final answer. >>> Jon Lung what is the exhibition like? How close is it to watching the show? >> My daddy said take me to the science that in New York. What I love about the exhibit is that a lot of science interactive science kids museums, they exploding to science by showing a small example. It is hard to get an idea with the tactile way of playing with stuff. But the best part of the MythBusters exhibit is it gives you the best concept you can understand with that so you want to talk about friction. One example is we have a tablecloth and you can yank it out. We've seen that before. It is all about the friction, the table, the cloth. But you just have an exhibit about friction is not as interesting as someone walking up to a table with the tablecloth and plates and cups and yanking it and understanding the concept like that. As a contained little science bit. That is like every little exhibit that there is nothing else like it. >> I have to say seeing John he is like a kid in a candy shop. The first day of MythBusters, this is my fourth trip to see the exhibition, but seeing Jon Lung light up from the first day, he has been there once before, so if that doesn't tell you that the myth buster himself who runs around the shops his stuff, it's good. >>> These are the hands on experiments you can try out. There is also the blueprint room. What is that? >>> The blueprint room is where they planned and thought out ideas and discuss them. As part of the exhibition you get all the parts that we do. There are 1 million drawings just like Jon Lung does for as we made our blueprint room a blackboard room. All of that is the history of the show. Every design is once laid out there. You get to incorporate all of the steps of what it means to be a myth buster. Not just the testing you want to know what everything is. That's what we explain on the show. When you're the first person in the room you're the first person in the room. >>> MythBusters ran the risk of people trying experience that -- asked Baer Mitts at home sometimes dangerous experiments at home. Do you get that, Jon Lung ? >> Yes one of the experiments we do is we do experiments that you can immediately do at home, all the way up to blowing up truck with dynamite which you should never do at home. We always preface it with this is one you can try or never ever do this. We will omit chemical names and processes to keep people safe who otherwise might try to blow something up or make some sort of explosive. I think for the most part our fans have been pretty good. >> I think our fans are interested in what we do in the science way and that they get the idea that even us use professionals when there's danger out there. We work with them. If you are not versed to work with a professional you not part of it and we know that. We love making sure that we can give them stuff to do at home. We add explosives at the end of the episode. >>> What are your dream is to bust. >> I'm a biologist. Do you know who Mark what he is ? the Martian, he was the one left behind and he was a biologist. He was a botanist. So this idea of a biologist saving himself on the remote planet using science to do it is compelling to me. I want to repeat the mark what the experience of growing potatoes with Martian soil, human food, water, humidity made by rocket fuel being broken down over stainless steel however way he did it I want to do it. Which means we need a very famous person's exact replica feces. So we are going to track him down Matt Damon. >>> Wouldn't it be harder to get the Martian soil? You know I were to figure that out . >> yet we just need Matt Damon now. >> You hear that Matt? We have the Martian soil we just need your poop. >>> MythBusters is opening at the Smith science center on Saturday. I've been speaking with a host of MythBusters John -- 1025 and Brian Louden. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I can't wait for you guys to see the exhibit. I seen it before but I can't wait it'll be fantastic can't wait for you guys to give it a try.
