00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:12.839
Hello, and welcome to jasonnew Land dot com. M M.

2
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:25.960
My name is Jason new Land. This is It's not

3
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.679
It's not that time already, is it? It's Trivia Tuesday?

4
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.039
La la la, See, I do have energy in me

5
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.399
that was energetic and enthusiastic. Come on, don't tell me otherwise.

6
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:51.240
It's Truvia Tuesday. I have just got out of bed, yeh.

7
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.960
Don't expect too much from me. What have I got

8
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.719
to say? Oh? The things I talk about in these

9
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.280
this podcast is not supposed to be factual. I've researched

10
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.200
it minimally, so some of the things I say may

11
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.159
not be true. So don't base your life around it.

12
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:25.040
Don't use these these trivia facts in an argument with someone.

13
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.040
It's really not worth it. Okay. Don't you know if

14
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.239
you're like, oh, because you think I've told you it

15
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.599
might be true and like you're sticking to your guns, Nope,

16
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.719
it's definitely true. It might not be so, so only

17
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.319
listen when you can safely close your eyes. What else?

18
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.359
All my recordings are on my website jasonneuland dot com.

19
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.200
You can stream, you can download. You know, it's a

20
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.280
pretty good thing. My Facebook page is Your Facebook group

21
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:08.000
is Jason Newland's Boring Group. There's a link on the

22
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:16.199
website to there. Last Lee, my YouTube channel is now

23
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.919
also a podcast, so I upload all my latest recordings.

24
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.800
So I do six different versions of my podcasts. There's

25
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.919
one without music, one with music, five and ten hours

26
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:40.039
both without and with music. They're all now uploaded to

27
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.759
my YouTube channel as well, so you get to if

28
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:51.319
you want to, you can listen on YouTube. Yay. Other

29
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.759
than that, I think that's it. It's Tuesday, twenty ninth

30
00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:08.919
of April two as twin I fat my downstairs neighbor

31
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:17.800
is having a new bathroom installed, so at the moment

32
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:24.800
it's not like super noisy they're down there now. I

33
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.639
don't know. I mean, I'm guessing there's going to be

34
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.599
a lot of drilling and banging and stuff. I don't

35
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:40.360
know how much I'm going to hear of it. But

36
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.199
bathrooms are quite echoing, isn't They never understood that. Why

37
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:52.960
do you have like a toilet is an echo chamber,

38
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.919
but they actually toilet itself. Firstly, the one thing you

39
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.599
don't want to exaggerate the sound, but that's what it does, that,

40
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.960
isn't it. So you've got an echo chamber inside an

41
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:12.919
echo chamber. So yeah, I emptied my echo chamber into

42
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.120
an echo chamber inside an echo chamber. It's very strange.

43
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.079
And in England, I mean not everywhere, but like so

44
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.839
many places I know still got the old fashioned light switches,

45
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.639
which was a string or a core that you pull

46
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:35.959
down clicks loudly, instead of just having a just a

47
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.959
little switch that makes no sound. So it's the one

48
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.319
room you don't want that in because it echoes. You

49
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.959
can hear the neighbors turning their lights side and off.

50
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.160
I'll leave mine on all night. It's the only light

51
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.720
I really generally leave on all night when I'm in bed,

52
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.959
but I just, you know, partly so I can see

53
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.279
what I'm doing, not in bed, but when I go

54
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.079
to the toilet. It's nice to have a little bit

55
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:15.920
of room to aim, oh dear, and and say, you know,

56
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.600
if the lights off, I can't see where the sink is.

57
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.560
But yeah, that might give her a weird idea of

58
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.240
what I do when I go into the bathroom. Does

59
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:35.040
he do? Why doesn't he use a toilet like everyone else? Shoush.

60
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.120
So what we're going to do is talk about this

61
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.920
is the idea I've got today inventions, and I have

62
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.920
been thinking about this, funny enough, not so much well inventions,

63
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:56.480
but also thinking about well, no, yeah, really just things

64
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:05.759
based on false beliefs or and it's something I'm going

65
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.600
to look more into in the future anyway. But let's say,

66
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:17.160
for example, physics, and it's like, you know, maybe one

67
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:22.680
hundred years ago, there was a physics idea which was cemented.

68
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.000
It was like, this is it. There's nothing more to

69
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:31.399
learn about this that this is factual. So things and

70
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.360
I've I remember hearing that a lot of things were

71
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:43.439
invented based upon that idea that work, but it turned

72
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.920
out the idea that they were best based upon was false.

73
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.120
So this is I suppose a little bit of a

74
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.160
you know, like around the corner turn going to focus

75
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:09.959
on inventions that were accidental and silly potentially. So yeah,

76
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.839
I know a few off the top of my head. Actually, well,

77
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.680
my medication I take is why it's not accidental. But

78
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:28.319
it was for epilepsy, and the whole idea was to

79
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.079
you know, kind of calm even out both sides of

80
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.360
the brain, which is what I have, you know, with epilepsy,

81
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.439
it's kind of it's yeah, it's both sides of the

82
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.240
brain shooting off and shooting off, not having a gunfight,

83
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.399
but you know, it's trying to even it out the

84
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:53.839
electrical I suppose, I don't know the scientific stuff of it.

85
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.560
But then they found the doctors or whoever was given

86
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:08.120
people of epilepsy these tablets that those will epilepsy who

87
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:17.160
also had other things felt calm, felt calmer than they

88
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.560
did before, which they weren't. For that when they were

89
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.279
calm helped if people keep calm, so they didn't have

90
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.720
the the you know, the seizures and stuff. But this

91
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:38.240
was yeah, I mean, let me have a look. I'll

92
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:50.480
tell you exactly. So depicoat of volproic acid it's a

93
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.879
medication used for the following purposes. Treatment of seizures in

94
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:59.320
people of epilepsy aged ten and older, prevention of migraine headaches,

95
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:04.919
treatment for manic episodes related to bipilar disorder, treatment for

96
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:13.799
psychiatric illnesses. So I'm trying to get the history of

97
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:29.360
this old vinie, but not to be used by people

98
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:38.080
that are pregnant and childbearing potential. It's very important. This

99
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.279
is something that's relatively new actually, because I didn't used

100
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:55.960
to have that on the boxes until more recent years. Okay,

101
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.159
so it belongs to a group of medicines called mood stabilizers.

102
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.759
It works by stabilizing the levels of chemicals in your

103
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:08.480
brain that affect your mood. It can be used to

104
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.159
so that that controls so many and I'm on antidepressants

105
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.720
to control the other side of things. There's a weird

106
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.919
stuff going on. Anyway. This isn't about me. It's all

107
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.159
It's about me, isn't it. Really. I just had the

108
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:32.360
weirdest dream. So I'm sitting there, while I'm not sitting there,

109
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.639
I'm standing there, and I'm having an argument with my

110
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:50.879
little brother and it's basically I'm working from my dad

111
00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:01.879
and I'm doing some kind of website thing whatever. I

112
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.519
don't know. It was a little bit of a muddled dream,

113
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:10.000
to be honest. But then my little brother comes onto

114
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:18.759
the phone and starts my dad seems happy with what

115
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.559
I'm doing. And then my brother comes on and starts

116
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:27.279
saying that I should be doing something different, and my

117
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:32.840
dad's listening to him and my little brother. This is

118
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.159
a dream, by the way, my little brothers, I just

119
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:40.240
had it about ten minutes ago. My little brother said, oh,

120
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.200
you're not doing it properly and all that stuff, and

121
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.759
and so I start having to go so t I

122
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:49.360
don't do it properly. All you do is cut and paste.

123
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:54.639
I don't know why I said that, And the fact

124
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.919
is he knows more about coding than I probably ever will.

125
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:05.799
But it's a weird one of we things. And I

126
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.039
have this big argument and then my dad sort of

127
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.200
says and I quit. I said, just go do one,

128
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:19.919
you know, And then I'm hugging my dad saying, oh,

129
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:24.000
can you please love me though it's weird, it's really weird.

130
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.559
And then my brother appears out of nowhere. It's sitting

131
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.879
down with the laptop, show me what to do. It's like,

132
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.960
I know what to do. And then he goes out.

133
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.240
He brings back a bowl, puts it on top of

134
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:44.759
a book for me to do a we wi in

135
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.759
And that's when I woke up realized I need to

136
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.840
go to a toilet. It's like, why this going for

137
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.759
a We always have to be incorporated into whatever dream

138
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.399
I'm having. I really, you know, it's better than we're

139
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.519
in a bed, but just like, come on, it is

140
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.320
or can you hear it? So the banging started downstairs,

141
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.799
which is what I was expecting. I can't really want

142
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.559
your phone in the council. There's a lot of banging

143
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:25.600
going on in the flat downstairs? Oh is there? Yeah?

144
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:31.200
And it's disturbing me. Okay, right, hold on a second.

145
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.720
I speak to my manager. Are you okay to hold

146
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.440
on today? Yes, it's fine, that's good. Today. I'll be

147
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.879
back in a second. Today i'd like to say today

148
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:45.360
after every sentence, sometimes only how are you today? On fire? Thanks?

149
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.279
How can I help you today? It's like, why do

150
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.799
you keep saying today? And then I'll come back. I

151
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.960
just spoken to my manager. I don't know if you're

152
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:02.200
aware that downstairs are having a bathroom fitted. I said, yeah,

153
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:08.639
I know. Well there's going to be some sound from that,

154
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:16.120
isn't there today? And I was like, I'd look at

155
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.879
it silly, wouldn't I? I'd look at it silly, That's

156
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:26.159
what I'm saying. So an unexploded World War two bomb

157
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:36.200
found in an island near where I live. What. I

158
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:43.679
don't know? It's an island, our Canvy Island? Is it

159
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.440
really an island? Though I know it's called Canvy Island,

160
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:55.879
but I don't know if it's really an island. The

161
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:06.399
legend the legend of OCHI what the legend of Ochie?

162
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.919
What is the legend of Ochie? B I've clicked on

163
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:18.759
it and nothing comes up. That's strange, right, the legend

164
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:27.120
of Ochie? The legend A teenage girl befriends an an

165
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:31.000
injured mythical creature, embarks on a journey to reunite it

166
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.679
with his family, challenge her her father's beliefs, and discovering

167
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.279
her own strength along the way. I mean that the

168
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:47.320
way they've described it sounds really boring. I'm sure it's

169
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:51.759
a really, really really good film. But the way like

170
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.440
challenging her father's beliefs and she discovers her own strength

171
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.799
along as the way no one who cares that is

172
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.720
their action is, you know? Is there monsters and action

173
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:13.679
and good special effects. I don't know how she emotionally grows,

174
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.600
you know, during the movie, how it transforms her life.

175
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:26.279
Am I being shallow? Maybe Chef George Crumb sliced potato

176
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:31.960
thinly and fried them to appease a bicky customer, in

177
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:38.799
inadvertently creating this popular snack potato chips. Well, if a

178
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.679
customer wanted them, then they've already been created. Surely, popsicles.

179
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.600
In nineteen oh five, eleven year old Frank Epison left

180
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:55.559
a mixture of soda, powder and water outside overnight, leading

181
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:03.960
to the creation of the first popsicle. AH number three

182
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:09.920
chocolate chip cookies, It's got the interest chocolate. Ruth Wakefield

183
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.440
intended to make chocolate cookies but run out of Baker's chocolate,

184
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:19.839
substituting with chopped semi sweet chocolate, which didn't melt as expected.

185
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:37.119
Chopped semi sweet chocolate doesn't melt as expected. AH is

186
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.960
chopped semi sweet chocolate. I don't know what that is.

187
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:49.680
How can you have semi sweet chocolate? I understand sweet

188
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:57.440
chocolate because chocolate is sweet. Oh, this is interesting. Corn flakes.

189
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.519
The Kellogg's brothers accidentally they have to boiled wheat to sit,

190
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:09.759
which became flaky, leading to the creation of corn flakes. Oh,

191
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.079
but if they left it, why did they eat it? Though?

192
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:19.240
When they said the Clogg's brothers, what were they adjoined twins?

193
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:25.680
Does it take two people to boil some wheat? I

194
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.119
don't know. Maybe it was a massive pot of weed.

195
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.680
You might not just be a little saucepan. Maybe it

196
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:35.519
was a huge pot. But were they boiled in a

197
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:39.799
wheat to make breakfast cereal? Were they already breakfast cereal people?

198
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.880
What's the irony? What's the chances of two brothers both

199
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:53.000
being into making breakfast cereal, both being interested in the

200
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:59.000
same thing. I mean, I like eating breakfast cereal, but

201
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.519
I've never thought I never wanted it to be my

202
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:11.200
hobby or my my career. And when I think back

203
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.799
to my brothers and we had nothing in common, and

204
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:22.920
we all liked pawn. After than that, I was we

205
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:32.319
were boys. It that was weird. That was weird. My

206
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.160
oldest brother used to get weird these adult tapes and

207
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:41.960
I'll be sitting there, let me just take turns going

208
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.720
to the bathroom. It was weird. It's like, I'd much

209
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.519
rather be here on my own. I actually had a friend.

210
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.279
I lived in this place. I had a friend. He

211
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.640
used to come in and put on a dirty tape

212
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.480
and sit down and watch it like we were watching

213
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.599
east Enders, like you know what. And sometimes you'd start

214
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.359
to talk. I don't want your I don't want your

215
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:16.599
voice attached to these memories, of these memories, I just like,

216
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.000
what a weird thing to do. Like this is before

217
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:26.000
the Internet, by the way, It's just I don't want

218
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:31.680
to watch stuff like. I didn't even like watching love

219
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:37.640
scenes in movies when I was a kid and there

220
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.640
was adults in the room and other kids like, I

221
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.279
never felt comfortable doing that. I always felt the need

222
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:50.839
to a bit of solitary time. Just yeah, it's just

223
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:58.480
some I don't think it's a sharing experience necessarily, Okay,

224
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.160
moving on from that, I don't know how got sidetracked.

225
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.799
Coca Cola originally formulated as a medicinal tonic. I knew this.

226
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.480
The addition of carbonated water transformed it into the soft

227
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:23.559
drink we know today. So someone must have had that

228
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:32.279
and for hm hm, you know what. I like the

229
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:38.039
taste of that. I like it a lot, but it's

230
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.559
too thick. It's you know, it's something needs to be added.

231
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:51.079
All about some milk. No, And I mean technically that's

232
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.200
not really a mistake because they created coca cola was

233
00:21:55.240 --> 00:22:07.640
created on purpose. But yeah, by adding carbonated water. I

234
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:13.920
don't think the original formulated medicinal tonic was called coca cola,

235
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:21.160
but I might be wrong. I mean, by far the

236
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.160
most popular drink worldwide, isn't it. I guess through history

237
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:33.319
outside of water and milk, science and medicine, So penicillin

238
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:40.960
I held, Yet this is accidentally discovered. It's not really

239
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:50.640
by mistake, though, is it accidental? And silly? Accidental? I

240
00:22:50.720 --> 00:23:00.160
suppose unless you're actually looking, you're scientifically looking for a

241
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.400
particular discovery, then it's going to be accidental. Like you

242
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:09.720
had edison with a light bulb, and there's a whole thing.

243
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:14.839
He did it like ten thousand times, failed nine hundred

244
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.240
ninety nine times, a bit specific, bit exact, isn't it?

245
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:25.680
And then on the ten thousandth time he found the

246
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.000
right formula. So that wasn't accidental, was it? That's my point?

247
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:37.839
So science and medicine, penicillin. Alexander Fleming, he also wrote

248
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:44.640
the Bond Books, noticed mold killing bacteria in a petradish,

249
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.279
leading to the development of the first antibiotic. The amount

250
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:59.799
of lives that man has saved through history, it's just phenomenal.

251
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:08.079
You've never got to see quite what a difference he

252
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:14.599
made in the world. And how often do you hear

253
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:20.880
his name mentioned? In fact, when you hear Fleming, I

254
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.160
automatically go to James Bond. I don't go to James

255
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:29.839
Bond and say hi, James. I don't you know, but

256
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:38.559
I do think of James Bond, not penicillin, Al Fleming,

257
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:44.200
Alexander what I mean, it's like he has to be

258
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.000
up there if you're going to put heroes people that

259
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:56.000
have for me, if anyone that's saved lives, millions of

260
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.440
lives has to be up as a hero, you know,

261
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:05.640
as I mean at the top for me. So X

262
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:12.400
rays William Runt again romped again discovered X rays when

263
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:20.680
he observed a fluorescent glow from a cathode ray tube. Ah,

264
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.880
I got nothing to add to that. So I have

265
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:28.559
no idea what our cathode ray tube is or X

266
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:34.119
ray or fluorescent. I don't understand any of those words

267
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:42.880
what they mean or observed or discovered. So yeah, Anesthesia,

268
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:49.799
the anesthetic properties of substances like nitrous oxide were discovered

269
00:25:49.960 --> 00:26:05.400
when individuals noticed pain relief during recreational use. Wow, in

270
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:11.240
that sense about going in that sense, you could like,

271
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:19.839
what did wonder if they ever used anything else? You know,

272
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.440
they run out of that. It's like just have I

273
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.000
suppose the old days it was alcohol, just thinking just

274
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.720
get drunk, because that's quite a good anesthetic, isn't it.

275
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:41.200
Viagra Viagra, vagra vegra, initially developed to treat angina. The

276
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:48.559
drugs unexpected side effects led to its use for you know,

277
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:58.599
willy dysfunction. Okay, let's let's break that one down. Viagra

278
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:08.880
initially did that to help angina. Okay, all right, Okay,

279
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:20.160
So I'm wondering, I mean, angina is not you know,

280
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:25.880
it's I suppose I'm not saying it's only elderly people

281
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.960
to get it, but it's probably more prominently old duh

282
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.359
people as opposed to young people. And I don't know

283
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:57.720
what the ratio is, so we're just suddenly saying this ages. Okay,

284
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:11.559
so according to the right, it's much it's much higher

285
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:23.400
in groups older. Yeah, so zero to forty four hardly anything.

286
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:31.160
So okay, so you've got this elderly lady, so she's

287
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:36.240
been taken. Actually it would be taken by both. I

288
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.960
wonder if I mean, this is just a thought, don't

289
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.039
shoot the thought, don't judge me for it. I'm wondering

290
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:52.319
what effect it has if a a female takes it,

291
00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:01.039
because we know a viagar well, I know, I suppose

292
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:06.000
most people know what viagra is for for males. I

293
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:10.559
was going to say, I didn't know that women benefit

294
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.839
from it. But obviously they benefit from it, don't they.

295
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:18.519
But not physically, but physically as well, I suppose, but indirectly,

296
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.839
well directly, I suppose. But you know what I mean,

297
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:29.920
I wonder that would be awkward. THO wouldn't it mister Newland?

298
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:32.440
Go to the doctors? How? How would how is the

299
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:38.759
new treatment going? What do you mean, doc? How's how's

300
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:40.920
the treatment going for you? Enngina? The new drug that

301
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:47.480
we use in viagra? Is it helping? Is it helping

302
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:54.440
your chest? Is it helping the you know the stuff?

303
00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:01.160
I think it was useful. Is it helping your medical condition? No? Doc, no,

304
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:04.519
why it is? It has but I'm not sure really,

305
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.920
So we stopped. We'll stop the treating it. We'll stop

306
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.759
the treatment and shut No, no, non, that's fine, We'll

307
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:12.519
keep the treatment going. What don't know If it's not

308
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:16.400
really helping the angina, that's all right, It's okay. I mean,

309
00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:18.640
it might be really good for angina. I don't know.

310
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.079
Why are you hustling me, Billy trying to do something

311
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:28.119
while there's no sound downstairs? So I'm trying to do

312
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:35.160
this recording and Vinny's like, and we've had like five

313
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:43.160
minutes about banging and stuffing downstairs. Watering originally used as

314
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:47.519
a rat poison. It's blood thinning properties were later harnessed

315
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:55.920
for medical use. Wow. Everyday items. So microwave oven, here

316
00:30:55.960 --> 00:31:01.119
we go. Percy Spencer noticed a candy bar that would

317
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:05.079
be like chocolate bar I think for anyone outside of

318
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:12.079
a candy bar melting in his pocket while working with

319
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:20.440
radar technology, leading to the invention of the microwave oven. Wow.

320
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:31.000
So I'm guessing, yeah, I'm just gonna I'm gonna skip.

321
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.880
I'm gonna skip to this. I'm gonna put down his

322
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:46.920
name and see what happened to him. So he invented right,

323
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:56.160
so a look right, I'm just thinking, I wonder if

324
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.920
it's taying anything about So he invented the microwave other

325
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:12.680
four hundred and ninety five dollars I wow. The first

326
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:18.400
commercially produced microwave oven was about six feet tall, weighed

327
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:22.720
seven hundred and fifty ibs, and cost around five thousand

328
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:30.759
dollars equivalent today of over seventy thousand. In sixty seven.

329
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.680
He did a smaller one at four ninety five, and

330
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:43.680
that's equivalent to about nearly five thousand dollars. Wow. Ashes

331
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.839
for his invention. He received no rowties, but he was

332
00:32:50.960 --> 00:33:02.359
paid a one time two dollars gratuity from raytheon the

333
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.119
same token payment the company made all inventors on its

334
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:10.480
payroll at that time for company patents. So he's working

335
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:21.240
for a company. How how would you how? That was weird?

336
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.200
So he worked for a company and then ended up

337
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:28.240
coming out of an idea and they give him two

338
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:42.240
dollars it, I mean, you know they could It's I

339
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:50.079
don't know. It just seems wrong, doesn't. It just seems wrong, wrong, man,

340
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:58.799
Just yeah, it does just like I mean, technically, so

341
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.279
we didn't invent them microwave oven. The company probably invented

342
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.559
the microwave oven. But he he's the one that discovered

343
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:12.559
that his pants were getting warm from being too close

344
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:21.559
to the microwaves. And maybe he's told someone and they said,

345
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:30.119
oh velcrow George de Mestral observed burns sticking to his

346
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:40.840
dog's fur, inspiring the creation of Velcrow Fastness. Cool. Well,

347
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:45.159
mister Newland, we can try some new different medication. No, no, no,

348
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:51.400
I'll stick with a Viagra. Super glue discovered by Harry

349
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:57.519
Coover while attempting to create clear plastic gun sights. It

350
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:04.400
was found to be a powerful adhesion. Wow. So he

351
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:11.480
was trying to basically create a plastic gun sight. Now,

352
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:13.199
let's have a look what he went on to do.

353
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.559
I mean, was he working for a company and they

354
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:21.440
just stole it off him and he ended up with

355
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:26.320
no money? Came on, let's have a look. Harry Coover,

356
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:33.039
commonly known as super glue. It was an inventor of

357
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:44.320
Eastman nine hunder and ten. So he was an inventor. Wow.

358
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.000
So nineteen forty two, while searching for materials to make

359
00:35:52.119 --> 00:36:02.280
more secure cockpit covers for military planes. Okay, this is

360
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.639
different from what they're saying there. Cockpit covers is different

361
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:17.880
to her So sick SiO no acrolites was discovered at

362
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:21.679
this time. They were deemed too sticky to be of

363
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:26.639
use and was set aside. In nineteen fifty ok right.

364
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:32.039
In nineteen fifty one, Couver and his team at Eastman

365
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:41.480
Kodak examined scio necrolitis again. COOOVERA was overseeing Kodak chemists

366
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:50.960
investigating heat resistant polymeters for jet canopies. Went hotblimey anyway,

367
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.400
it was too sticky. When a chemist in a group

368
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:58.599
in formed Couver that he had permanently damaged an expensive

369
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:04.119
refractively by gluing it together. Cooper recognized that he had

370
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:09.079
discovered a unique adhesive. In nineteen fifty eight, the adhesive,

371
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:15.679
marketed by Kodak as Eastman nine ten and then as Superglue,

372
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:32.719
was introduced for sale. So Kodak marketed it so. Coover

373
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:38.719
was also the first to recognize and painted Scionicrocologics as

374
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:45.039
a tissue adhesive after his eldest son cut open his

375
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.960
finger while making a model included the cut clothes with

376
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:57.280
a glue he had samples off from the lab. I

377
00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:58.920
don't know if I would do that person. I don't

378
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:07.400
think i'd even still do that. I don't know. So

379
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.920
Couver held four hundred and sixty patents, and superglue was

380
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:19.599
just one of his many discoveries. He viewed programmed innovations,

381
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:25.960
a management methodology emphasizing research and development, among his most

382
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:32.760
important work. Implemented at Kodak. Programmed innovation resulted in the

383
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.920
introduction of three hundred and twenty new products and sales

384
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:41.599
growth from one point eight billion to two point five billion.

385
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:49.440
Couver later formed an international management consultant in practice advising

386
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:54.800
corporate clients around the world on programmed innovation technology. I

387
00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:01.440
don't know what that is. What programmed innovation technology? That's

388
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:03.599
gonna bug me. I'm gonna have to look it up. Sorry,

389
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:23.039
programmed innovation So okay, programmed how you doing? Programmed information tech? Methodology?

390
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:31.599
Did I say technology? I meant methodology? Whoops? Why is

391
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:38.760
it taking me to a different page? The fore most

399
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:35.000
so it's kind of like you're looking for something and

400
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.119
you agree with what you're looking for, and you kind

401
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.880
of agree with what you're planning to do to get there.

402
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:46.920
I guess a set of steps, but not the ones

403
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:51.719
that you use the cleaning windows, not that you use

404
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:54.239
when you wouldn't use steps to cleaner windows. You'd probly

405
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.519
use a cloth, but you know what I mean. Teflon

406
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:06.039
Roy play, I love that name. Plunket, Great Roy Plunket

407
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:11.599
discovered teflon when a gas he was experimenting with solidified

408
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:25.079
into a slippery substance. Wow cool. Safety glass Edouard Benning

409
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:32.079
the Bendictus accidentally dropped a glass flask coated with plastic

410
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:40.559
cellulose nitrate, which cracked but didn't shatter. Ah ah, so

411
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.239
safety glass was created. See just things like this. It's

412
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:50.039
quite amazing, isn't it so a glass flask? I suppose

413
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:53.519
it's like for coffee or whatever. It just shows you

414
00:41:53.559 --> 00:42:00.719
sort of oh wow. Toys and entertainment Slinky the slinky.

415
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.840
Naval engineer Richard James was working with tension springs when

416
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:11.159
one fell and walked across the floor, inspiring the toy,

417
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:22.159
and then then it just wandered down the stairs. Blame me. Ah,

418
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:25.480
it's quite weird. I used to I don't remember them

419
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:29.599
being called slinkies, honestly when I was a kid, I'm

420
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:33.119
sure they were, but I had one and it was

421
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:37.119
just like it was so much fun, Like come on,

422
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:40.960
I used to invite my friends like try and get

423
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:45.599
them to come round and would throw it down the stairs,

424
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:50.039
and each one as I spent all week trying to

425
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.519
get one of my friends to come round, and each

426
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:57.519
one of them said no, each like no, no, no explanation, nothing,

427
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.400
no explanation. How much is going to let go to

428
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:03.639
stop the stairs all the way down? Hey, I havn't

429
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:05.599
got to touch it. It does it on its own.

430
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:10.119
It moves on its own. It's like magic. No. No, no, no, no, no,

431
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:15.800
I asked. I probably asked about twenty friends. Okay, two

432
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:20.880
friends and eighteen kids that were at school all said no,

433
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:26.599
And in the end I thought, okay. The last person

434
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:30.280
I asked said now I want to ask why, and

435
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.400
he said, well, actually we've all got together. So what

436
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:35.519
do you mean you've all got together. We said, we

437
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:39.280
need to let you know, let me know what. He said,

438
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:43.480
why we don't want to come around. I thought, oh, no,

439
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:47.840
it's the farts, isn't it. It's all the farting. I said,

440
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:50.159
is it the farting? He said, well, it doesn't help,

441
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:54.599
but no, it's not the main thing. I said, what's

442
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:58.559
the main thing? He said, you live in a bungalow.

443
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.920
I said, so the fact that you live in a

444
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.840
bungalow and you don't know what the problem could be

445
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:16.119
about letting a slinky go down the stairs. No oh,

446
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:19.480
never found out the real reason. I think it was

447
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:24.599
the farts. Silly putty. James Wright was attempting to create

448
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:34.239
synthetic rubber when he produced a bouncy, stretchable substance silly Putty.

449
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.000
I loved silly putty, so he was trying to create

450
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.400
synthetic rubber. I wonder if it was one of those

451
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:43.239
synthetic rubbers that he was trying to create, because silly

452
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:48.239
putty definitely is not the right thing, is it. Play

453
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:55.519
though I didn't notice spelled d o H doll like

454
00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:03.320
what's his name? Simpsons? Ach a wallpaper cleaner. Its pliable

455
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:11.400
nature made it a favorite among children for modeling, Oh

456
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:18.519
a war paper cleaner, play, Dice Love play. Though bubble

457
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:28.239
rapp initially intended as textured wallpaper, its cushion properties led

458
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:33.119
to its use in packaging. So it's initially intended as

459
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:40.519
a textured wallpaper. Can you imagine bubble rapp on a wall? Yeah,

460
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:46.159
it'd be a bit weird. So it went from being

461
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:52.280
the world's most unpopular wallpaper to being really popular for

462
00:45:52.760 --> 00:46:00.440
other things. The pacemaker. This is interesting. Wilson great Batch

463
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:05.320
accidentally installed the wrong resistor into a device, leading to

464
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:11.480
the development of the implantable pacemaker. When that stuff is

465
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:23.760
just phenomenal eighties? Isn't it absolutely just an accident which

466
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:33.000
has led to just medical help for millions of people.

467
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:38.800
So all of these things are just it's amazing. I

468
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:44.679
don't know, I just find it exciting saccering. In eighteen

469
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:53.639
seventy nine, Constantine Farberg, while working on cold tar derivatives

470
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:57.000
or interesting job forgot to wash his hands before dinner

471
00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.400
and noticed the sweet taste, leading to the discus of

472
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:06.440
this artificial sweetener, joining us had a marmite was invented?

473
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:15.079
Maybe someone worked in a sewer teflon. In nineteen thirty eight,

474
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:20.000
Roy punk It was attempted to create a new refrigerated

475
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:27.119
a refrigerant when he accidentally polymerized really expect me to

476
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:34.480
read this out polymerized tetrafluo flylin resulted in the non

477
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:43.480
stick substance we know today. And why create words that

478
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:48.199
are impossible to say? Well for me anyway? What is

479
00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:53.360
like they're showing off, isn't it? I mean it really

480
00:47:53.360 --> 00:48:01.840
basedis why things don't stick on me? Safety glass in

481
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.719
nineteen oh three, Edward Benedictus, See this is the same.

482
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:17.119
It's copying, now copying, it's copying velcro, so it's given

483
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.159
me more. This is amusing chat GBT. I did specifically

484
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:25.119
say do not copy, do not repeat safety glass. So

485
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:28.079
I'm going to move away from that. Matches. In eighteen

486
00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:33.119
twenty six, John Walker was stern a chemical mixture when

487
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:38.119
a stick he used ignited upon scraping, leading to the

488
00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:43.800
invention of the friction match. I thought matches have been

489
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:52.320
around for centuries, like century, centuries like sixteen hundreds, because

490
00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:00.480
how else did they like stuff in the sixteenth century

491
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:04.360
if it wasn't for matches. I mean, did they use lighters?

492
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:08.599
I mean, come on, or did they use matches? Must

493
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:20.920
have been around when one match is invented eighteen twenty six,

494
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:32.119
So what came What was used before matches? I mean

495
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:39.920
come on, See this is absolute rubbish. What was used

496
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.480
before matches? Rubbing sticks together or striking flintstones? So that's

497
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:49.599
just it's ridiculous. So telling me right, eighteen twenty six

498
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:58.559
like two hundred years, so just over two hundred years

499
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:04.119
ago people had to rub sticks together in order to

500
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:07.960
light a cigarette, and tobacco was around long before eighteen

501
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:13.559
twenty six, I'm pretty sure, And I've pretty certain people

502
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:21.400
used to cook and had ovens inside. There's kitchens and stuff.

503
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:32.639
It must have been. There must have been. How I know? How?

504
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:37.039
How that doesn't I can't get my head around this,

505
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:58.239
don't right. Tobacco was intoduced to the UK in fifteen

506
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:04.280
eighty seven, So how did they light it? If there

507
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:26.320
was no matches lit? So? How because candles they had cameras?

508
00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:29.880
How did they light a candle? How was cigarettes lit

509
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:44.239
in seventeen hundreds unless lighters were around before then? When

510
00:51:44.320 --> 00:52:01.880
was the first lighter? The first lighter eighteen twenty three?

511
00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:08.480
Are one of the first light is invented by German

512
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:15.920
chemist names Johan Wolfgang do ba Reiner eighteen twenty three.

513
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:34.639
That's interesting? So and what when was the matches eighteen

514
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:44.159
twenty six? So lighters were around before matches, but tobacco

515
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:51.519
has been around it was around what three hundred years

516
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:56.960
before that? So were people in the street like rubbing

517
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.400
sticks together trying to write light a cigarette? I mean,

518
00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:20.239
come on, no, no, it can't know I've seen. No, no,

519
00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:28.440
because I see I'm just thinking there's depictions of people

520
00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:38.599
in the Westerns and in I'm confused. Now, this is

521
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:46.840
really confused me. It doesn't always take a lot, but right,

522
00:53:49.960 --> 00:54:02.159
mhm h do do do? Do? Do? So? Okay? So

523
00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:21.639
how did people like pipes in seventeen hundreds? The light? Okay? Wow?

524
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:25.199
So to light a pipe back then, the best way

525
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.280
to light up was with a spill, which is a

526
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:31.920
thin strip of wood that may be ignited in a

527
00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:40.960
lamp or fireplace and used to transfer flame to pipe.

528
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:44.679
How did people light by candles, lamps, et cetera. Before

529
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:48.840
the invention of matchsticks. You'd keep a small fire as

530
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:52.719
long as possible because lighting something with a bow and

531
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:55.800
a drill or with a flint and a steel is

532
00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:59.800
really annoying. If you don't have a personal fire, you

533
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.039
bring a stick to a Nay, it's not funny, really,

534
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:12.159
it's just just funny. It's really you're bringing a stick

535
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:14.280
to a neighbor and ask if you can get a light.

536
00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.039
The amount of people when I was younger, I'm going

537
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:21.880
to get a light and like, but that was happening

538
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:26.840
hundreds of years ago, going to get a light. What

539
00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:29.760
they mean literally is can I? It's like have I

540
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:35.360
sticked my stick in your fire? Oh? In practice should

541
00:55:35.400 --> 00:55:39.159
be lighting lamps from candles or candles from cooking fires

542
00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:42.840
and just transfer in a flame to where you need it.

543
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:49.199
That kind of explains a great fire in London, doesn't

544
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:53.320
it really? I mean you imagine the amount of let's say,

545
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:56.239
oh it's a baker's, but imagine how many how many

546
00:55:56.440 --> 00:56:02.039
fires there would have been going at that time? Was

547
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:05.159
it sixteen sixty six or something on? It like that?

548
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:09.519
Was there had been little fires all around the place

549
00:56:11.360 --> 00:56:19.880
and everything was made of wood, wasn't it. Wow, that's

550
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.599
intro I never even thought about this. This is probably

551
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:24.880
something that everyone learned in the history, but I don't

552
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:29.039
remember hearing about it before. They had been so excited.

553
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:41.480
So bubble Wrap got that ice cream silly putty play

554
00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:46.360
dough bubble wrapp ice cream cone. At the nineteen four

555
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:50.679
World's Fair. An ice cream vendor ran out of dishes

556
00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:56.559
and a neighboring waffle vendor rolled waffles into cones to

557
00:56:56.599 --> 00:57:01.679
hold the ice cream, creating the ice cream cone. Wow.

558
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:09.920
So that was It's a good idea, wasn't it. I mean,

559
00:57:09.960 --> 00:57:11.840
to be fair, I think it would taste a lot

560
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:16.480
better with a waffle than with the ice cream cone

561
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:21.039
they use now, the dry, old, flaky, tasteless thing that

562
00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:28.280
they sometimes use a waffle. Oh, that would be perfect,

563
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:35.719
messy but perfect. Scientific breakthroughs X ray in eighteen Okay,

564
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:39.239
so I got that one already. Penicillin, it's just repeating

565
00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:46.320
itself now, anesthesia, viagra, war of fin They're just repeating

566
00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:50.840
themselves of what he told me, all this stuff. I

567
00:57:50.880 --> 00:58:01.199
think it's run out of ideas, to run out of ideas,

568
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:18.440
any any other ones, Any inventions based upon wrong facts. Okay,

569
00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:20.480
I kind of know what I mean when I say this,

570
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.960
but I don't know. Yes, Jason, there are definitely inventions

571
00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:27.760
and scientific great fruit breakthroughs that happened because the inventor

572
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:31.880
was working off incorrect assumptions or wrong facts, yet we

573
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:35.840
still ended up creating something useful or groundbreaking. Here are

574
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:40.079
some great and quirky examples for you for your podcast,

575
00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:47.199
Oh thank you. Inventions based on wrong assumptions. Phlogistan theory

576
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:52.519
so discovery of oxygen in the seventeen hundreds. Scientists believed

577
00:58:52.679 --> 00:59:01.440
in thrologistan, a firel like element released during combustion. Joseph

578
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:05.880
Priestley discovered oxygen while trying to prove this theory, ironically

579
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:11.280
disproving it completely entirely, N rays was an N ray.

580
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:16.440
In nineteen oh three, scientist Blonde Blot claimed he discovered

581
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:20.239
N rays, a new form of radiation. It was later

582
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:25.519
revealed to be entirely imaginary, but the instruments and techniques

583
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:31.400
he developed influenced future optics research. So that's what I'm

584
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:36.760
looking for. So he thought he discovered something, and he hadn't.

585
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:43.960
But what he built and created and invented based upon

586
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:49.840
that assumption, based upon that belief did work. Whilst see

587
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:59.599
that's phenomena really Galvani's animal electricity. So Luigi Galvani believed

588
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:04.880
frog legs twitched because of animal electricity. His mistake and

589
01:00:04.920 --> 01:00:12.880
conclusion inspired Alessandro Vulture or Volta, who create the first battery,

590
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:23.039
providing proven it was a chemical not biological reaction. So again,

591
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:27.639
so batteries were invented based upon the idea that a

592
01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:37.000
false idea. Alchemists searching for gold created porcelain and gunpowder.

593
01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:40.639
So in China and Europe, alchemists trying to turn base

594
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:46.679
metals into gold accidentally invented useful things like porcelain, gunpowder,

595
01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:55.800
and even phosphorus. Phosphorus ah, geocentric model. Imagine if that's

596
01:00:55.840 --> 01:01:00.599
your job, that's your entire career as an alchemist, and

597
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:02.719
the only thing you're doing is trying to get to gold.

598
01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:06.280
And they probably got no recognition for all the stuff

599
01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:11.000
they did invent. So oh, no, porcelain are not another

600
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:16.480
useful chemical compound that can change the world and make

601
01:01:16.519 --> 01:01:20.000
it safer and better and healthier for millions and billions

602
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:27.000
of people. We want gold, Give me some gold. Geocentric model.

603
01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:34.519
Accurate star charts. Ancient astronomers like p Ptolemy believed Earth

604
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:38.239
was the center of the universe. Despite the wrong model,

605
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:45.320
their meticulous charts were surprisingly accurate and useful for navigation. See.

606
01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:50.159
So it's interesting, isn't it. Something, Even based upon a

607
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:53.760
wrong idea or a wrong model, something can still turn

608
01:01:53.840 --> 01:02:03.440
out quite well. Spontaneous generation equaled pasturesation they're supposed to

609
01:02:03.440 --> 01:02:09.519
be rhyme. Scientists once believed life came from non living matter,

610
01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:17.840
like maggots from meat. Ah. Okay, this proven this because

611
01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:20.119
I guess in them days there was a time and

612
01:02:20.199 --> 01:02:26.440
thought maggots meat produces maggots rotten meat, which it doesn't.

613
01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:29.400
It's the flies, isn't it that lay the eggs? But

614
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:33.000
they wouldn't know that. It probably didn't connect that. It's

615
01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:36.320
like this meggot's coming out of the dust. This black

616
01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:39.199
bag full of rubbishes produce maggots. It must be the

617
01:02:39.239 --> 01:02:43.840
black bag. Like and then so I said, don't be ridiculous.

618
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:47.320
It's obviously it's the rubbish, isn't it. Then so I said, no,

619
01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:49.840
it's obviously it's not the rubbish, because there's mixture rubbish.

620
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:53.159
It's going to be certain aspects of the rubbish. Well,

621
01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:55.880
I think it must be the corn flake boxes. How

622
01:02:55.960 --> 01:03:01.159
can I quite cardboard box produced maggots produce life. It's

623
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:04.199
got to come from something that once was life. I'll

624
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:06.480
see you talking about the meat. Yeah, it must come

625
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:10.039
from the meat. And then they examined the meat and

626
01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:13.960
they saw that there was actual things growing out of

627
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:16.920
the meat. It's like, see, it's the meat that's growing.

628
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:23.920
That's what's producing the maggots, when all along it wasn't.

629
01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:34.719
It was the flies. So disproving this led Louis Pasteur

630
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:42.320
to discover pasteurization and revolutionize germ theory. Flat earth beliefs.

631
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:47.840
Detailed maps while Earth mappy makers or mappy maker map

632
01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:52.719
makers used flawed models of Earth, the challenger fitting everything

633
01:03:52.920 --> 01:04:00.519
in spurred incredibly artistic and informative atlases, any of which

634
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:08.480
are still admired today. Okay, so I like those maps

635
01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:17.360
that are kind of artistic, perhaps not perfect if you're traveling,

636
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:23.440
but just they look nice that they like those old maps.

637
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:30.679
Neptunes discovery via incorrect orbit math maths. We call it

638
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:39.480
maps in this country urbane Levernia or Liveria maths. Urban

639
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:45.079
Levaria's maths predicted Neptune's location was slightly off, but still

640
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:50.559
close enough to accidentally help astronomers spot the planet. Okay,

641
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:54.880
that wasn't It's quite as interesting. Cold fusion announcement nineteen

642
01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:59.000
eighty nine. Though it turned out to be bad science,

643
01:04:59.320 --> 01:05:04.039
the attempt to achieved cold fusion. Cold fusion led to

644
01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:11.719
renewed interest and funding in alternative energy research, and so

645
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:18.239
the discovery of insulin dogs and pancreous confusion. So early

646
01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:24.400
diabetes researchers just misunderstood the pancreas's function, but in their

647
01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:31.559
flawed experiments on dogs, they accidentally isolated insulin. BlimE me,

648
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:44.519
it's yeah, it's amazing, really I don't know, it's not

649
01:05:44.599 --> 01:05:48.599
going to be It might not be super excited for

650
01:05:48.679 --> 01:05:53.079
everyone that's listening, but I found it quite exciting, quite interesting.

651
01:05:57.239 --> 01:06:00.719
And Venie's still kind of a little bit it hussling

652
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:06.360
me wanting to go outd you look at me for

653
01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:09.199
when I said that, did you feel I said, go

654
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:14.440
out for a walk? So what you thought? I said,

655
01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:21.039
go for a walk? That flight, you know, now got

656
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:23.199
two flies, one in the kitchen and one in the

657
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:29.920
living room. Either that or it's invited. I don't know.

658
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:36.280
It might just follow me anyway. The noise downstairs have

659
01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:38.400
got a little bit noisier. So I'm going to go.

660
01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:47.320
Thank you for listening, and remember to be kind to

661
01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:51.320
yourself because you do deserve to be happy and be

662
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:57.880
gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe. Lots of love.

663
