Mythbusters

Every time I watch a Mythbusters experiment I wonder about replication. They (almost) never replicate any of their experiments under the same conditions, or if they do, they do not tell the viewer how many times. It certainly would be nice to have some of the data from their experiments.

Here’s a link to a physics teacher who is thinking some of the same things.
