How does the show Mythbusters get their myths to test?

User Avatar

Asked by Getacar

They two worked in special effects together. They came up with the idea of a show after receiving numerous questions as to myths from their workmates.
Jamie first had the idea, but considered himself too boring to host the show alone, so asked Adam to join him.

The original concept for what is now Mythbusters came from Australian producer, Peter Rees, of Beyond Productions. In 2002, he presented his idea to the Discovery Channel and hired Jamie Hyneman and his M5 Company, who had years of experience in movie stunt work. See the link below for more information.

What is the maxium times you can fold a piece of paper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer to that question was first understood and documented and proved by a Britney Gallivan.

She first had to make a definition of what a fold was (bending paper over is not true folding) Then went on to find out why paper had a limit. The answer is each time paper is folded there is less paper left to contribute to the next folding.

A lot of complex math was reduced to the final formulas on her web site. She published the work to have it critiques by college professors and skeptics who agreed with her results.

The paper is increased in thickness by double each time it is folded in half.Look the diagrams carefully at her site and you will see how the edges of folded paper are not actually contributing to the actual stacked folding. The number of times a piece of paper, or other non compressible material, is not 7 but only limited by the dimensions of the paper. She folded paper and gold in half twelve times.

She was a consultant to the Mythbusters TV program that folded 17 taped sheets of paper some 11 times.

Unfortunatley there isn't a legal means to watching the x-files for free. However you can get them on DVD and they are streaming on Netflix so there are ways you can still watch the television show.

It's real. Obviously this reality is edited to make it as funny as can be, but there's no fantasy or real acting involved.

How much do the Mythbusters get paid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As a private group, the "Mythbusters" are not obliged to tell anyone - - other than the IRS - - their salaries, so you won't find it on any website.

Most likely, the Discovery Channel provides them with a certain budget for filming and salary (similar documentary/reality-based TV show budgets are only about $150,000; the real cost is in the production, not the "actors"). The rest comes from advertisers and the public, private, and government sectors, who don't mind giving their goods and services at little or no cost in return for free (inter?)national advertising and goodwill.

Salary-based websites show regular actors with speaking roles (as opposed to walk-ons, extras, supernumeries, etc), having salaries starting at about $40,000; given their non-luxury looks and probable bohemian lifestyles, it's doubtful that any of the Mythbusters make substantially more than that.

What myths haven't the Mythbusters done?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mythbusters is a T.V. show that aims to test the validity of many urban myths, by first "replicating the circumstances, then replicating the results" - in other words, they test whether the myth actually could have happened in a normal or relative setting, then reproducing the results of the myth (which often involves explosions or objects travelling at high speed), and then giving the myth a 'Busted', (completely false), 'Plausible' (only used in some seasons) or 'Confirmed' (often verified by eyewitnesses, newspaper records or expert testimony) rating.
