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 --> 00:00:28.120
It's not that time already.

4
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:28.800
Is it?

5
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:34.439
It's Trivia Tuesday? La la la, See I do have

6
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.840
energy in me that was energetic and enthusiastic. Come on,

7
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:49.399
don't tell me otherwise. It's true Via Tuesday. I have

8
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.600
just got out of bed. Don't expect too much from me,

9
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.280
all have I got to say? Oh, the things I

10
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.560
talk about in these this podcast is not supposed to

11
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:09.280
be factual. I've researched it minimally, so some of the

12
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.040
things I say may not be true. So don't base

13
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:22.280
your life around it. Don't use these these trivia facts

14
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.640
in an argument with someone. It's really not worth it. Okay,

15
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.319
don't you know if you're like, oh, I've because you

16
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.840
think I've told you it might be true and like

17
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.920
you're sticking to your guns, Nope, it's definitely true. It

18
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.480
might not be so, so only listen when you can

19
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.480
safely close your eyes.

20
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:47.319
What else?

21
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.519
All my recordings are on my website jasonneuland dot com.

22
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.200
You can stream, you can download. You know, it's a

23
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.280
pretty good thing. My Facebook page is a Facebook group

24
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:08.039
is Jason Newland's Boring Group. There's a link on my

25
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:16.199
website to there. Last Lee, my YouTube channel is now

26
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.879
also a podcast, so I upload all my latest recordings.

27
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.800
So I do six different versions of my podcasts. There's

28
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.840
one without music, one with music, five and ten hours

29
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:40.080
both without and with music. They're all now uploaded to

30
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.759
my YouTube channel as well, so you get to if

31
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:51.319
you want to, you can listen on YouTube. Yay. Other

32
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.759
than that, I think that's it. It's Tuesday, twenty ninth

33
00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:08.919
of April two, as twain if Fat, My downstairs neighbor

34
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.919
is having a new bathroom installed, so.

35
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.520
At the moment it's not like.

36
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:25.240
Super noisy they're down there now. But I don't know.

37
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.879
I mean, I'm guessing there's going to be a lot

38
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.960
of drilling and banging stuff. I don't know how much

39
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:41.960
I'm going to hear of it. But bathrooms are quite echoing,

40
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:49.639
isn't They never understood that? Why do you have like

41
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:55.639
a toilet is an echo chamber, like they actually toilet itself. Firstly,

42
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.159
the one thing you don't want to exaggerate the sound,

43
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.240
but that's what it does, that doesn't it. So you've

44
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:09.280
got an echo chamber inside an echo chamber. So yeah,

45
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.080
I emptied my echo chamber into an echo chamber inside

46
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.800
an echo chamber. It's very strange. And in England, I

47
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.000
mean not everywhere, but like so many places I know

48
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.959
still got the old fashioned light switches, which was a

49
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.959
string or a core that you pull down clicks loudly,

50
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.800
instead of just having a just a little switch that

51
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.560
makes no sound. So it's the one room you don't

52
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.040
want that in because it echoes. You can hear the

53
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:48.360
neighbors turning their lights on and off. I'll leave mine

54
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.000
on all night. It's the only light I really generally

55
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.199
leave on all night when I'm in bed, but I just,

56
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.600
you know, partly so I can see what I'm doing,

57
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.959
not in bed, but when I go to the toilet.

58
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:09.360
It's nice to have a little bit of room to aim,

59
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:17.000
oh dear, and and say, you know, if the lights off,

60
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.160
I can't see where the sink is. But yeah, that

61
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.920
might give her a weird idea of what I do

62
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.839
when I go into the bathroom.

63
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.560
Does he do?

64
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.680
Why doesn't he use a toilet like everyone else?

65
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.439
Shoush.

66
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:40.120
So what we're going to do is talk about this

67
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.920
is the idea I've got today inventions, and I have

68
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.920
been thinking about this, funny enough, not so much well inventions,

69
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:56.480
but also thinking about well, no, yeah, really just things

70
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:05.759
based on false beliefs or and it's something I'm going

71
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.600
to look more into in the future anyway. But let's say,

72
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:17.160
for example, physics, and it's like, you know, maybe one

73
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:22.680
hundred years ago, there was a physics idea which was cemented.

74
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.279
It was like, this is it.

75
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.079
There's nothing more to learn about this that this is factual.

76
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.560
So things and I've I remember hearing that a lot

77
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.240
of things were invented based upon that idea that work,

78
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.560
but it turned out the idea that they were best

79
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:54.360
based upon was false. So this is I suppose a

80
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.360
little bit of a you know, like around the corner

81
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:05.360
turn going to focus on inventions that were accidental and

82
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:11.000
silly potentially. So yeah, I know a few off the

83
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.120
top of my head. Actually, well, my medication I take

84
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:25.680
is why it's not accidental, but it was for epilepsy.

85
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.040
And the whole idea is to you know, kind of

86
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.199
calm even out both sides of the brain, which.

87
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.360
Is what I have, you know, with epilepsy.

88
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.439
It's kind of it's yeah, it's both sides of the

89
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.240
brain shooting off and shooting off, not having a gunfight,

90
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.399
but you know, it's trying to even it out the

91
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:53.800
electrical I suppose, I don't know the scientific stuff of it.

92
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.560
But then they found the doctors or whoever was given

93
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:08.120
people of epilepsy these tablets that those will epilepsy who

94
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:17.160
also had other things felt calm, felt calmer than they

95
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.839
did before, which they weren't. For that when they were calm,

96
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.399
helped to people keep calm so they didn't have the

97
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:31.000
the you know, the seizures and stuff. But this was yeah,

98
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.360
I mean, let me have a look.

99
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:39.039
I'll tell you exactly.

100
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:51.440
So depicoat of volproic acid. It's a medication used for

101
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.879
the following purposes. Treatment of seizures in people of epilepsy

102
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.639
aged ten and older, prevention of migraine headaches, treatment for

103
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:06.559
manic episodes related to bipolar disorder, treatment for psychiatric illnesses.

104
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:25.440
So I'm trying to get the history of this old Vinnie,

105
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:32.360
but not to be used by people that are pregnant

106
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:39.039
and childbearing potential. It's very important. This is something that's

107
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.600
relatively new actually, because I didn't used to have that

108
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:56.960
on the boxes until more recent years. Okay, so it

109
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.440
belongs to a group of medicines called mood stabilizers. It

110
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.039
works by stabilizing the levels of chemicals in your brain

111
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:09.240
that affect your mood. It can be used to so

112
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.320
that that controls so many and I'm on antidepressants to

113
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.960
control the other side of things.

114
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.399
There's a weird stuff going on.

115
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:22.559
Anyway. This isn't about me. It's all It's about me,

116
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:23.000
isn't it.

117
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:23.399
Really.

118
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:31.720
I just had the weirdest dream. So I'm sitting there, well,

119
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.360
I'm not sitting there, I'm standing there, and I'm having

120
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:47.720
an argument with my little brother and is basically I'm

121
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:57.200
working film my dad and I'm doing some kind of

122
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.440
website thing whatever. I don't know. It was a little

123
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.879
bit of a muddled dream, to be honest. But then

124
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:17.639
my little brother comes onto the phone and starts my

125
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.039
dad seems happy with what I'm doing. And then my

126
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.360
brother comes on and starts saying that I should be

127
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:31.440
doing something different, and my dad's listening to him, and

128
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.679
my little brothers this is a dream, by the way,

129
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.799
my little brothers, I just had it about ten minutes ago.

130
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.360
My little brother said, oh, you're not doing it. Properly

131
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.320
and all that stuff, and so I start having to

132
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.679
go so you don't do it properly.

133
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.320
All you do is cut and paste.

134
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:54.639
I don't know why I said that, and the fact

135
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.919
is he knows more about coding than I probably ever will.

136
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:05.799
But it's a weird one of weird things. And I

137
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.039
had this big argument and then my dad sort of

138
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.200
says and I quit. I said, just go do one,

139
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:19.919
you know, And then I'm hugging my dad saying, oh,

140
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.960
can you please love me? Though it's weird, it's really weird.

141
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.559
And then my brother appears out of nowhere. He's sitting

142
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.879
down with the laptop, show me what to do. It's like,

143
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.960
I know what to do. And then he goes out.

144
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.240
He brings back a bowl, puts it on top of

145
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:44.759
a book for me to do a we wi in

146
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.799
And that's when I woke up realized I need to

147
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.840
go to a toilet. It's like, why this going for

148
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.759
a We always have to be incorporated into whatever dream

149
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.399
I'm having. I really, you know, it's better than we're

150
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.519
in a bed, but just like, come on, it is

151
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.919
or can hear it? So the banging started downstairs, which

152
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.960
is what I was expecting I can't really want your

153
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.799
phone in the council. There's a lot of banging going

154
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.360
on in the flat downstairs.

155
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.639
Oh is there? Yeah?

156
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:31.200
And it's disturbing me. Okay, right, hold on a second.

157
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.720
I speak to my manager. Are you okay to hold

158
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.600
on today? Yes, it's fine, that's good.

159
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.120
Today. I'll be back in a second.

160
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.440
Today I'd like to say today after every sentence, sometimes one,

161
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:43.879
how are you today?

162
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:45.360
On fire? Thanks?

163
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.279
How can I help you today? It's like, why do

164
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:55.000
you keep saying today? Then I'll come back. I just

165
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.240
spoke to my manager. I don't know if you're aware

166
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:02.200
that downstairs are having a bathroom fitted. I said, yeah,

167
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:08.639
I know. Well there's going to be some sound from that,

168
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.000
isn't there today?

169
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.720
And I was like, I'd look at it silly.

170
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.440
Wouldn't I. I'd look at it silly, That's what I'm saying.

171
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:28.720
So an unexploded World War two bomb found in an island.

172
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:36.559
Near where I live. What I didn't know?

173
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:44.559
It's an island, our Canvy Island. Is it really an island?

174
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.879
Though I know it's called Canvy Island, but I don't

175
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:57.200
know if it's really an island. The legend the legend

176
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:06.879
of OCHI wha, the legend of Ochie? What is the

177
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.559
legend of Ochie? But I've clicked on it and nothing

178
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:22.440
comes up. That's strange, right, the legend of Ochie? The

179
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:28.600
legend A teenage girl befriends an It, an injured mythical creature,

180
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.840
embarks on a journey to reunite it with its family,

181
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.519
challenge her her father's beliefs, and discovering her own strength

182
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:42.159
along the way. I mean that the way they've described

183
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:48.399
it sounds really boring. I'm sure it's a really fully,

184
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:55.639
really good film. But the way like challenging her father's

185
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.919
beliefs and she discovers her own strength along as the

186
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.200
way no one who cares.

187
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.559
That is their action is, you know?

188
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:10.039
Is there monsters and action and good special effects. I

189
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:16.000
don't know how she emotionally grows, you know, during the movie,

190
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:21.919
how it transforms her life. Am I being shallow? Maybe

191
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:28.159
Chef George Crumb sliced potatoes thinly and fried them to

192
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:35.200
appease a bicky customer, in inadvertently creating this popular snack

193
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.240
potato chips. Well, if a customer wanted them, then they've

194
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:47.039
already been created. Surely, popsicles. In nineteen oh five, eleven

195
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.000
year old Frank Epison left a mixture of soda, powder

196
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:57.480
and water outside overnight, leading to the creation of the

197
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:06.599
first popsicle. AH number three chocolate chip cookies. It's got

198
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.799
the interest chocolate. Ruth Wakefield intended to make chocolate cookies

199
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.559
but run out of Baker's chocolate, substituting with chopped semi

200
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:25.920
sweet chocolate, which didn't melt as expected. Chopped semi sweet

201
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:38.240
chocolate doesn't melt as expected. Ah, what is chopped semi

202
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:45.200
sweet chocolate? I don't know what that is. How can

203
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:50.559
you have semi sweet chocolate? I understand sweet chocolate because

204
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:51.519
chocolate is.

205
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.440
Sweet. Oh, this is interesting. Corn flakes.

206
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.519
The Kellog's brothers accidentally have to boiled wheat to sit,

207
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:09.720
which became flaky, leading to the creation of corn flakes. Oh,

208
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.799
but if they left it, why did they eat it?

209
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:12.119
Though?

210
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:19.880
When they said the Clogg's brothers, what were they adjoined twins?

211
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:22.960
Does it take two people to boil some wheat?

212
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:26.119
I don't know.

213
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.359
Maybe it was a massive pot of weed. It might

214
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.799
not just be a little saucepan. Maybe it was a

215
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:36.839
huge pot. But were they boil in a wheat to

216
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:42.480
make breakfast cereal. Were they already breakfast cereal people? What's

217
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.720
the irony? What's the chances of two brothers both being

218
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:52.920
into making breakfast cereal, both being interested in.

219
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:53.519
The same thing.

220
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.519
I mean, I like eating breakfast cereal, but I've never

221
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.279
thought I never wanted it to be my hobby or

222
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:11.880
my my career. I mean, I think back to my brothers,

223
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.440
and we had nothing in common, and we all liked pawn.

224
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:30.440
After than that, I was we were boys. It that

225
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.160
was weird. That was weird.

226
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.240
My oldest brother used to get weird these adult tapes

227
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:41.759
and I'll be sitting there and we just take turns

228
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:42.799
going to the bathroom.

229
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:43.880
It was weird.

230
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.279
It's like, I'd much rather be here on my own.

231
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.680
I actually had a friend. I lived in a in

232
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.880
this place. I had a friend. He used to come

233
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.640
in and put on a dirty tape and sit down

234
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:09.839
and watch it like we were watching east Enders.

235
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.319
Like you know what.

236
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.920
And sometimes you'd start to talk.

237
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:10.279
I don't want your I don't want.

238
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:16.200
Your voice attached to these memories, of these memories, I

239
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.960
just like, what a weird thing to do.

240
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.519
Like this is before the Internet.

241
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:26.359
By the way, it's just I don't want to watch

242
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:32.319
stuff like I didn't even like watching love scenes in

243
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:38.359
movies when I was a kid and there was adults

244
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.240
in the room and other kids like, I never felt

245
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.680
comfortable doing that. I always felt the need to a

246
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:51.400
bit of solitary time. Just yeah, it's just something. I

247
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:58.839
don't think it's a sharing experience necessarily, Okay, moving on

248
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:04.960
from that, I don't know how got sidetracked. Coca Cola

249
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.079
originally formulated as a medicinal tonic.

250
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.799
I knew this.

251
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.480
The addition of carbonated water transformed it into the soft

252
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:23.599
drink we know today. So someone must have had that

253
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:32.279
and for hm, hm, you know what. I like the

254
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:38.039
taste of that. I like it a lot, but it's

255
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.079
too thick. It's you know, it's something needs to.

256
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.759
Be added, all about some milk.

257
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:52.359
No, And I mean technically that's not really a mistake

258
00:21:52.440 --> 00:22:00.920
because they created coca cola was created on purpose. But yeah,

259
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:10.680
by adding carbonated water. I don't think the original formulated

260
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.119
medicinal tonic was called coca cola, but I might be wrong.

261
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.559
I mean, by far the most popular drink worldwide, isn't it.

262
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:31.799
I guess through history outside of water and milk. Science

263
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:37.839
and medicine, so penicillin, I held, Yet this is accidentally discovered.

264
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:48.079
It's not really by mistake, though, is it accidental? And silly? Accidental?

265
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:59.079
I suppose unless you're actually looking, you're scientifically looking for

266
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:06.240
a particular discovery, then it's going to be accidental. Like

267
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.200
you had edison with a light bulb, and there's a

268
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:13.440
whole thing. He did it like ten thousand times, failed

269
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:19.160
nine hundred and ninety nine times, a bit specific, bit exact.

270
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.240
Isn't it?

271
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:25.680
And then on the ten thousandth time he found the

272
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.000
right formula. So that wasn't accidental, was it. That's my point?

273
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:37.839
So science and medicine, penicillin. Alexander Fleming, he also wrote

274
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:44.599
the Bond Books, noticed mold killing bacteria in a petra diish,

275
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.279
leading to the development of the first antibiotic. The amount

276
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:59.279
of lives that man has saved through history, it's just

277
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:07.119
phenomenal that you've never got to see quite what a

278
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:14.319
difference he made in the world. And how often do

279
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:19.839
you hear his name mentioned. I fact, when you hear Fleming,

280
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.839
I automatically go to James Bond. I don't go to

281
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:29.599
James Bond and say Hi, James. I don't you know,

282
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:38.559
but I do think of James Bond, not penicillin, Al Fleming,

283
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:44.200
Alexander what I mean, it's like he has to be

284
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.000
up there if you're going to put heroes people that

285
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:56.000
have for me, if anyone that's saved lives, millions of

286
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.440
lives has to be up as a hero, you know,

287
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:02.400
as I mean at the top.

288
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:04.599
For me.

289
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:11.640
So X rays William Runch again Rumped again discovered X

290
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:16.400
rays when he observed a fluorescent glow from my cathode

291
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:22.400
ray tube. Ah, I got nothing to add to that.

292
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.400
So I have no idea what our cathode ray tube

293
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:33.480
is or X ray or fluorescent. I don't understand any

294
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:38.759
of those words, what they mean or observed or discovered.

295
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:47.640
So yeah, Anesthesia, the anesthetic properties of substances like nitrous

296
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:57.359
oxide were discovered when individuals noticed pain relief during recreational use. Wow,

297
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:11.240
in that sense about going in that sense you could like,

298
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:19.839
what did wonder if they ever used anything else? You know,

299
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.440
they run out of that. It's like just have I

300
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.000
suppose the old days it was alcohol, just thinking just

301
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.720
get drunk, because that's quite a good anesthetic, isn't it.

302
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:41.200
Viagra viagra vagra Vegra initially developed to treat angina. The

303
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:48.559
drugs unexpected side effects led to its use for you know,

304
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:58.599
willy dysfunction. Okay, let's let's break that one down. Viagra

305
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:10.000
initially develop to help angina. Okay, all right, Okay, So

306
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:20.799
I'm wondering, I mean, angina is not you know, it's

307
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.920
I suppose I'm not saying it's only elderly people to

308
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.680
get it, but it's probably more prominently old duh people

309
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:34.480
as opposed to young people. And I don't know what

310
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:58.519
the ratio is, so we're just suddenly saying this ages. Okay,

311
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:00.039
so according.

312
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.799
To the.

313
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:13.400
Right, it's much it's much higher in groups.

314
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:14.519
Older.

315
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:25.079
Yeah, so zero to forty four hardly anything. So okay,

316
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:31.799
so you've got this elderly lady, so she's been taken.

317
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.000
Actually it would be taken by both. I wonder if,

318
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:42.359
I mean, this is just a thought, don't shoot the thought,

319
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:47.440
don't judge me for it. I'm wondering what effect it

320
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:57.799
has if a a female takes it. Because we know

321
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:01.680
a viagar well, I know, I suppose most people know

322
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:06.359
what viagra is for for males. I was going to

323
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:11.039
say I didn't know that women benefit from it. But

324
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.680
obviously they benefit from it, don't they. But not physically, well,

325
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:20.920
physically as well, I suppose, but indirectly, well directly, I suppose.

326
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.079
But you know what I mean, I wonder that would

327
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.279
be awkward THO, wouldn't it mister Newland to go to

328
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:30.799
the doctors?

329
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:35.359
How? How how is the new treatment going? What do

330
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:40.160
you mean, doc? How's how's the treatment going for you? Endina?

331
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:46.599
The new drug that we use in viagra, is it helping?

332
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:52.119
Is it helping your trust? Is it helping the you know,

333
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:57.400
the stuff I forget what was used for? Is it

334
00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:59.599
helping your medical condition? No?

335
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.519
Doc, no, why it is? It has?

336
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:06.000
But I'm not sure really, So we stopped. We'll stop

337
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:08.000
the treat We'll stop the treatment and show no, no, no,

338
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:10.799
that's fine, We'll keep the treatment going.

339
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:12.119
Well, don't know.

340
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.000
If it's not really helping the angina, that's all right,

341
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:17.920
It's okay. I mean, it might be really good for angina.

342
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.640
I don't know.

343
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.759
Why are you hasting Vinny trying to do something while

344
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:28.240
there's no sound downstairs? So I'm trying to do this

345
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:35.519
recording and Vinnie's like, and we've had like five minutes

346
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:43.279
about banging and stuffing downstairs. Warfing originally used as a

347
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:47.599
rat poison. Its blood thinning properties were later harnessed for

348
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:56.279
medical use. Wow everyday items. So microwave oven, here we go.

349
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:01.640
Percy Spencer noticed a candy bar that would be like

350
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:08.200
chocolate bar I think for anyone outside of a candy

351
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:13.559
bar melting in his pocket while working with radar technology,

352
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:17.279
leading to the invention of the microwave oven.

353
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.440
Wow.

354
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:31.759
So I'm guessing I'm just gonna I'm gonna skip. I'm

355
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.279
gonna skip to this. I'm gonna put down his name

356
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:39.480
and see what happened to him.

357
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.000
So he invented.

358
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:56.079
Right, so A look, right, I'm just thinking, I wonder

359
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.720
if it's taying anything about So he invented the microwave

360
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:12.319
other four hundred and ninety five dollars he Wow. The

361
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:17.559
first commercially produced microwave oven was about six feet tall,

362
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:22.160
weighed seven hundred and fifty ibbs, and cost around five

363
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:30.759
thousand dollars equivalent today of over seventy thousand. In sixty seven.

364
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:31.559
He did a.

365
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.640
Smaller one at four ninety five, and that's equivalent to

366
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.920
about nearly five thousand dollars.

367
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:46.240
Wow. Assys for his invention.

368
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.920
He received no rowties, but he was paid a one

369
00:32:52.039 --> 00:33:03.480
time two dollars gratuity from raytheon the same token payment

370
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:06.960
the company made to all inventors on its payroll at

371
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:11.160
that time for company patents. So he's working for a company.

372
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:22.880
How how would you how? That was weird? So he

373
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.079
worked for a company and then ended up coming out

374
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:34.599
of an idea and they give him two dollars it,

375
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.640
I mean, you know they could It's I don't know.

376
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:50.039
It just seems wrong, doesn't. It just seems wrong, wrong, man,

377
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:58.799
Just yeah, it does just like I mean, technically, so

378
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.279
we didn't invent them microwave oven. The company probably invented

379
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.519
the microwave oven. But he he's the one that discovered

380
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:12.559
that his pants were getting warm from being too close

381
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:21.559
to the microwaves. And maybe he's told someone and they said,

382
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:30.119
oh Velcrow George D. Mestrel observed burns sticking to his

383
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:35.960
dog's fur, inspiring the creation of Velcrow Fastness.

384
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.079
Cool.

385
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:42.679
Well, miss the New Land, we can try some new

386
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.320
different medication. No, no, no, I'll stick with a Viagra.

387
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:53.760
Super glue discovered by Harry Coover while attempting to create

388
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:58.679
clear plastic gun sites. It was found to be a

389
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:06.079
powerful adhesion. Wow. So he was trying to basically create

390
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:12.360
a plastic gun sight. Now, let's have a look what

391
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:16.800
he went on to do. I mean, was he working

392
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:18.920
for a company and they just stole it off him

393
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:24.480
and he ended up with no money? Came on, let's

394
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:31.760
have a look. Harry Coover commonly known as super glue.

395
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:38.360
It was an inventor of Eastman nine under ten. So

396
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:50.400
he was an inventor. Wow. So nineteen forty two, while

397
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:55.079
searching for materials to make more secure cockpit covers for

398
00:35:55.199 --> 00:36:03.559
military planes. Okay, this is different from what they're saying there.

399
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:15.280
Cockpit covers is different to her So sick SiO no

400
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.559
acrolites was discovered at this time. They were deemed too

401
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:24.480
sticky to be of use and was set aside. In

402
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.079
nineteen fifty okay right. In nineteen fifty one, Couver and

403
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:38.760
his team at Eastman Kodak examined scio necrolitis again. COOOVERA

404
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:47.039
was overseeing Kodak chemists investigating heat resistant polymeters for jet canopies.

405
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:53.840
Went hobblimy anyway, it was too sticky. When a chemist

406
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:57.119
in the group in formed Couver that he had permanently

407
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:03.719
damaged an expensive refractingly by gluing it together. Cooper recognized

408
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:08.159
that he had discovered a unique adhesive. In nineteen fifty eight,

409
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:14.239
the adhesive, marketed by Kodak as Eastman nine ten and

410
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:24.920
then as Superglue, was introduced for sale. So Kodak marketed it.

411
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:31.039
So.

412
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:38.039
Coover was also the first to recognize and painted Scionicrocologics

413
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:44.920
as a tissue adhesive after his eldest son cut open

414
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.840
his finger while making a model included the cut clothes

415
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:51.760
with a glue he had samples off from the lab.

416
00:37:57.239 --> 00:37:58.719
I don't know if I would do that person. I

417
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:00.440
don't think i'd even still do that.

418
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:02.239
I don't know.

419
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:12.719
So Couver held four hundred and sixty patents, and superglue

420
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:19.599
was just one of his many discoveries. He viewed programmed innovations,

421
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:25.599
a management methodology emphasize and research and development among his

422
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:32.519
most important work. Implemented at Kodak. Programmed innovation resulted in

423
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:37.360
the introduction of three hundred and twenty new products and

424
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.880
sales growth from one point eight billion to two point

425
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:46.960
five billion. Couver later formed an international management consultant in

426
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:53.320
practice advising corporate clients around the world on programmed innovation technology.

427
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:59.559
I don't know what that is. What programmed innovation technology?

428
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:03.480
That's gonna bug me. I'm gonna have to look it up. Sorry,

429
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:23.039
programmed innovation So okay, programmed how you doing? Programmed information tech? Methodology?

430
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:31.599
Did I say technology? I meant methodology? Whoops? Why is

431
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:38.760
it taking me to a different page? The fore most

432
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:49.280
common innovation methodologies sigh sigma this, agile design thinking, globe innovation,

433
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:55.440
I don't know what it means. Innovation methods. Discover the

434
00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:11.840
best innovation methods to dry success programmed innovation. An innovation

435
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:16.840
program is a portfolio of initiatives built around an innovation

436
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:21.960
strategy aligned with the program's business goals. To pursue the

437
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.320
innovation program, the portfolio should adhere to a set of

438
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:32.159
policies and actions they aimed at achieving your goals. Okay,

439
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:35.000
so it's kind of like you're looking for something, and

440
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.119
you agree with what you're looking for, and you kind

441
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.880
of agree with what you're planning to do to get there.

442
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:41.800
I guess.

443
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:48.840
A set of steps, but not the ones that you

444
00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:52.199
use the cleaning windows, not that you use when you

445
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.840
wouldn't use steps to cleaner windows, you'd probly use a cloth,

446
00:40:54.960 --> 00:41:01.440
but you know what I mean. Teflon Roy play, I

447
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:07.840
love that name. Plunket, Great Roy Plunket discovered teflon when

448
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:13.519
a gas he was experimenting with solidified into a slippery substance.

449
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:29.159
Wow cool Safety glass Edouard Bening the Bendictus accidentally dropped

450
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:35.920
a glass flask coated with plastic cellulose nitrate, which cracked

451
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:43.519
but didn't shatter. Ah ah, so safety glass was created.

452
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:45.000
See just things like this.

453
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.599
It's quite amazing, isn't it so a glass flask? I

454
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:53.119
suppose it's like for coffee or whatever. It just shows

455
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:59.199
you sort of oh like whoa Toys and Entertainment slinky

456
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.199
the slinky. Naval engineer Richard James was working with tension

457
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:10.679
springs when one fell and walked across the floor, inspiring

458
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:15.920
the toy, and then then it just wandered down the stairs.

459
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:24.719
Blame me, Ah, it's quite weird. I used to I

460
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:28.920
don't remember them being called slinkies, honestly when I was

461
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:32.480
a kid, I'm sure they were, but I had one

462
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:36.000
and it was just like it was so much fun,

463
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.039
Like come on, I used to invite my friends, like

464
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.440
try and get them to come round, and would do

465
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:48.440
it down the stairs and each one as I spent

466
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:51.039
all week trying to get one of my friends to

467
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:54.000
come round, and each one of them said no, each

468
00:42:54.239 --> 00:43:00.519
like no, no, no explanation, nothing, no explanation, was going

469
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:02.440
to let it go, to stop the stairs all the

470
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:02.920
way down.

471
00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:04.480
Hey, I havn't got to touch it.

472
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.400
It does it on its own. It moves on its own.

473
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.800
It's like magic. No no, no, no, no, no, I asked,

474
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:16.320
I probably asked about twenty friends. Okay, two friends and

475
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:22.320
eighteen kids that were at school all said no, And

476
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:26.880
in the end I thought, okay. The last person asked

477
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:30.719
said now I want to ask why, and he said, well,

478
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:33.719
actually we've all got together. So what do you mean

479
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:36.039
you've all got together? We said, we just need to

480
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.559
let you know, let me know what. He said, why

481
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:43.519
we don't want to come around. I thought, oh, no,

482
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.440
it's the farts, isn't it.

483
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:48.679
It's all the farting. I said, is it the farting?

484
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:49.599
He said, well, it.

485
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:54.400
Doesn't help, but no, it's not the main thing. I said,

486
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:58.559
what's the main thing? He said, you live in a bungalow.

487
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.920
I said, so the fact that you live in a

488
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.840
bungalow and you don't know what the problem could be

489
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:11.280
about letting a slinky go down the stairs.

490
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:17.960
No, oh, never found out the real reason.

491
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:23.360
I think it was the farts silly putty. James Wright

492
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:27.920
was attempting to create synthetic rubber when he produced a bouncy,

493
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:36.199
stretchable substance silly Putty. I loved silly putty, so he

494
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:38.880
was trying to create synthetic rubber. I wonder if it

495
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:41.400
was one of those synthetic rubbers that he was trying

496
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:44.920
to create, because silly putty definitely is not the right thing,

497
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:51.760
is it. He play? Though I didn't notice spelled d

498
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:59.880
o h doll like what's his name? Simpsons? A rich

499
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.000
a wallpaper cleaner. Its pliable nature made it a favorite

500
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:16.519
among children for modeling, Oh a wallpaper cleaner, Play Dice

501
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:24.159
Love play. Though bubble rapp initially intended as textured wallpaper,

502
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:31.280
its cushion properties led to its use in packaging. So

503
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:35.840
it's initially intended as a textured wallpaper. Can you imagine

504
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:37.159
bubble rapp on a wall?

505
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:41.880
Yeah, it be a bit weird.

506
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:49.079
So it went from being the world's most unpopular wallpaper

507
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:57.559
to being really popular for other things. The pacemaker. This

508
00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:03.079
is interesting. Wilson great Batch accidentally installed the wrong resistor

509
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:08.400
into a device, leading to the development of the implantable pacemaker.

510
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:20.440
When that stuff is just phenomenal, it is, isn't it.

511
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:24.519
It's absolutely just an accident which has led to.

512
00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:29.000
Just medical.

513
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:33.000
Help for millions of people.

514
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:38.599
So all of these things are just it's amazing.

515
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:44.119
I don't know, I just find it exciting saccering. In

516
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:52.280
eighteen seventy nine, Constantine Farberg, while working on cold tar

517
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:56.679
derivatives or interesting job forgot to wash his hands before

518
00:46:56.679 --> 00:47:00.000
dinner and noticed a sweet taste, leading to the discus

519
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:06.440
of this artificial sweetener, joining us had a marmite was invented?

520
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.360
Maybe someone worked in a sewer.

521
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:13.239
Teflon.

522
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.760
In nineteen thirty eight, Roy punk It was attempted to

523
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:24.800
create a new refrigerated a refrigerant when he accidentally polymerized

524
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:31.960
really expect me to read this out polymerized tetrafluo flylin

525
00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:38.800
resulted in the non stick substance we know today. And

526
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:46.000
why create words that are impossible to say?

527
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:48.440
Well for me anyway? What is like?

528
00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:54.400
They're showing off and it, I mean it really basedis

529
00:47:54.480 --> 00:48:02.280
why things don't stick on me? Safety glass in nineteen

530
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.440
oh three, Edward Benedictus, See this is the same. It's copying,

531
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:13.559
now copying, it's copying velcro.

532
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:13.519
So.

533
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:19.440
It's given me more. This is amusing chat GBT. I

534
00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:25.039
did specifically say do not copy, do not repeat safety glass.

535
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:26.280
So I'm going to move away from that.

536
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:26.920
Matches.

537
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:32.079
In eighteen twenty six, John Hawker was stern a chemical

538
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:38.000
mixture when a stick he used ignited upon scraping, leading

539
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:43.440
to the invention of the friction match. I thought matches

540
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:51.840
have been around for centuries, like century, centuries, like sixteen hundreds,

541
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:59.559
because how else did they like stuff in the sixteenth

542
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:03.559
century if it wasn't for matches? I mean, did they

543
00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:08.280
use lighters? I mean, come on, or did they use matches?

544
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:20.199
Must have been around when one match is invented eighteen

545
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:29.840
twenty six, So what came? What was used before matches?

546
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:39.480
I mean come on, see this is absolutely rubbish. What

547
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.320
was used before matches rubbing sticks together or striking flintstones?

548
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:48.880
So that's just it's ridiculous. So telling me right, eighteen

549
00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:57.840
twenty six, like two hundred years so just over two

550
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:03.760
hundred years ago people had to rub sticks together in

551
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:07.360
order to light a cigarette, and tobacco was around long

552
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:12.679
before eighteen twenty six, I'm pretty sure. And I've pretty

553
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:20.239
certain people used to cook and had ovens inside. There's

554
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:23.559
kitchens and stuff. It must have been. There must have.

555
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:24.840
Been how.

556
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:36.320
I know how? How that doesn't I can't get my

557
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:43.320
head around this, don't.

558
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:54.599
Right.

559
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:58.920
Tobacco was intoduce to the UK in fifteen eighty seven,

560
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:00.480
So how did they light it?

561
00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:23.679
If there was no matches lit? So?

562
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:26.920
How because candles they had cameras? How did they light

563
00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:40.840
a candle? How was cigarettes lit in seventeen hundreds unless

564
00:51:41.159 --> 00:51:45.320
lighters were around before then? When was the first lighter?

565
00:51:53.119 --> 00:52:06.559
The first lighter eighteen twenty three? Ah, one of the

566
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:12.440
first light is invented by German chemist names Johan Wolfgang

567
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:31.960
do ba Reiner eighteen twenty three. That's interesting. So and

568
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:37.920
what when was the matches eighteen twenty six? So lighters

569
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:44.960
were around before matches, but tobacco has been around it

570
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:55.239
was around what three hundred years before that? So were

571
00:52:55.280 --> 00:52:58.760
people in the street like rubbing sticks together trying to

572
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:11.119
write light a cigarette? I mean, come on, no, no,

573
00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:21.039
you can't know. I've seen no, no, because I see.

574
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:22.599
I'm just thinking.

575
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:38.320
There's depictions of people in the Westerns and in I'm confused. Now,

576
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:42.079
this is really confused me. Yeah, it doesn't always take

577
00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:54.440
a lot, but right m m hm hmmmmm do do

578
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:55.239
do do do?

579
00:53:57.679 --> 00:53:59.960
So? Okay hmm?

580
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:10.239
So how did people like pipes in seventeen hundreds?

581
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:21.840
The light? Okay? Wow?

582
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:25.199
So to light a pipe back then, the best way

583
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.280
to light up was with a spill, which is a

584
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:31.920
thin strip of wood that may be ignited in a

585
00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:41.159
lamp or fireplace and used to transfer flame to pipe.

586
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:44.679
How did people light by candles, lamps, et cetera. Before

587
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:48.840
the invention of matchsticks. You'd keep a small fire as

588
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:52.719
long as possible because lighting something with a bow and

589
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:55.800
a drill or with a flint and a steel is

590
00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:59.760
really annoying. If you don't have a personal fire, you

591
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.039
bring a stick to a name. Sorry, that's not funny, really,

592
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:09.000
it's just this funny.

593
00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:12.440
It's really you're bringing a stick.

594
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:14.280
To a neighbor and ask if you can get a light.

595
00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.039
The amount of people When I was younger, I'm going

596
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:21.880
to get a light and like, but that was happening

597
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:26.840
hundreds of years ago, going to get a light. What

598
00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:29.760
they mean literally is can I It's like have I

599
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:31.280
sticked my stick in your fire?

600
00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:33.719
Oh?

601
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.840
In practice should be lighting lamps from candles or candles

602
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:42.239
from cooking fires, and just transfering a flame to where

603
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:42.840
you need it.

604
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:49.599
That kind of explains a great fire in London, doesn't it. Really?

605
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:53.480
I mean you imagine the amount of let's say, oh

606
00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:56.920
it's a baker's, but imagine how many how many fires

607
00:55:56.920 --> 00:56:02.159
there would have been going at that time? Was it

608
00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:05.480
sixteen sixty six or something on? It like that? Was

609
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:11.920
there'd been little fires all around the place and everything

610
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:13.199
was made of wood, wasn't it.

611
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.320
Wow? That's in true.

612
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:22.880
I never even thought about this. This is probably something

613
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.199
that everyone learned in the history, but I don't remember

614
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:26.239
hearing about it before.

615
00:56:27.840 --> 00:56:36.239
And they had been so excited. So bubble Wrap got.

616
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:43.039
That ice cream silly putty play dough bubble Wrap ice

617
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:48.800
cream cone at the nineteen four World's Fair. An ice

618
00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:52.920
cream vendor ran out of dishes, and a neighboring waffle

619
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:57.559
vendor rolled waffles into cones to hold the ice cream,

620
00:56:58.000 --> 00:56:59.840
creating the ice cream cone.

621
00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:04.840
Wow. So that was.

622
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:10.639
It's a good idea, wasn't it. I mean, to be fair,

623
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:12.480
I think it would taste a lot better with a

624
00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:17.119
waffle than with the ice cream cone they use now,

625
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:22.159
the dry, old, flaky, tasteless thing that they sometimes use.

626
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:24.639
A waffle.

627
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:32.880
Oh, that would be perfect, messy but perfect. Scientific breakthroughs

628
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:38.440
X ray in eighteen Okay, so I got that one already. Penicillin,

629
00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:44.760
it's just repeating itself now, anesthesia, viagra, war of fin

630
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.440
They're just repeating themselves of what he told me, all

631
00:57:47.519 --> 00:58:00.199
this stuff. I think it's run out of ideas, to

632
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:07.760
run out of ideas, any any other ones, Any inventions

633
00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:19.519
based upon wrong facts? Okay, I kind of know what

634
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:22.760
I mean when I say this, but I don't know. Yes, Jason,

635
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:26.920
there are definitely inventions and scientific breakthrough breakthroughs that happened

636
00:58:26.920 --> 00:58:30.920
because the inventor was working off incorrect assumptions or wrong facts,

637
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:34.559
yet we still ended up creating something useful or groundbreaking.

638
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:39.119
Here are some great and quirky examples for you for

639
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:44.599
your podcast, Oh thank you. Inventions based on wrong assumptions

640
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:51.000
phlogistan theory, so discovery of oxygen in the seventeen hundreds,

641
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:59.199
scientists believed in throgistan, a firel like element released during combustion.

642
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:04.679
Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen while trying to prove this theory,

643
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:11.280
ironically disproving it completely entirely, N rays was an N ray.

644
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:16.440
In nineteen oh three, scientist Blonde Blot claimed he discovered

645
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:20.239
N rays, a new form of radiation. It was later

646
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:25.519
revealed to be entirely imaginary, but the instruments and techniques

647
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:31.400
he developed influenced future optics research. So that's what I'm

648
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:36.760
looking for. So he thought it discovered something and he hadn't.

649
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:43.960
But what he built and created and invented based upon

650
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:49.840
that assumption, based upon that belief did work. Whilst see

651
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:59.599
that's phenomena really Galvani's animal electricity. So Luigi Galvani believed

652
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:05.480
frog legs twitched because of animal electricity. His mistaken conclusion

653
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:12.880
inspired Alessandro Vulture or Volta, who create the first battery,

654
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:21.039
providing proven it was a chemical not biological reaction. And

655
01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:26.360
so again, so batteries were invented based upon.

656
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:28.440
The idea that a false idea.

657
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:37.880
Alchemists searching for gold created porcelain and gunpowder. So in

658
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:41.400
China and Europe, alchemists trying to turn base metals into

659
01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:48.719
gold accidentally invented useful things like porcelain, gunpowder, and even phosphorus.

660
01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:56.960
Phosphorus ah geocentric model. Imagine if that's your job, that's

661
01:00:57.000 --> 01:01:01.159
your entire career as an alchemist, and the only thing

662
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:03.599
you're doing is trying to get to gold. And they

663
01:01:03.679 --> 01:01:07.000
probably got no recognition for all the stuff they did invent.

664
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:14.079
So oh no, porcelain are not another useful chemical compound

665
01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:17.239
that can change the world and make it safer and

666
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.679
better and healthier for millions and billions of people. We

667
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:29.000
want gold, Give me some gold. Geocentric model. Accurate star charts.

668
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:35.599
Ancient astronomers like p Ptolemy believed Earth was the center.

669
01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:36.079
Of the universe.

670
01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:42.760
Despite the wrong model, their mediculous charts were surprisingly accurate

671
01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:47.199
and useful for navigation. See so it's interesting, isn't it.

672
01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:51.079
Something Even based upon the wrong a wrong idea or

673
01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:55.880
a wrong model, something can still turn out quite well.

674
01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:04.039
Spontaneous generation equal pasturesation they are supposed to be either rhyme.

675
01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:10.559
Scientists once believed life came from non living matter like

676
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:18.719
maggots from meat. Ah okay, disproven this because I guess

677
01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:21.519
in them days. There was a time in Fort maggots

678
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:27.079
meat produces maggots rotten meat, which it doesn't. It's the flies,

679
01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:30.320
isn't it that lay the eggs? But they wouldn't know that.

680
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:34.920
It probably didn't connect that. It's like this meggot's coming

681
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:37.360
out of the dust. This black bag full of rubbishes

682
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:42.039
produce maggots. It must be the black bag. Like and

683
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:44.800
then so I said, don't be ridiculous. It's obviously it's

684
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:47.320
the rubbish, isn't it. And then so I said, no,

685
01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:49.840
it's obviously it's not the rubbish, because there's mixture rubbish.

686
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:53.119
It's going to be certain aspects of the rubbish. Well,

687
01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:55.920
I think it must be the corn flake boxes. How

688
01:02:55.960 --> 01:03:01.159
can I quite cardboard box produced maggots produce life. It's

689
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:04.239
got to come from something that once was life. I'll

690
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:06.440
see you talking about the meat. Yeah, it must come

691
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:10.079
from the meat. And then they examined the meat and

692
01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:13.960
they saw that there was actual things growing out of

693
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:16.920
the meat. It's like, see, it's the meat that's growing.

694
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:23.800
That's what's producing the maggots, when all along it wasn't

695
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:34.719
it was the flies. So disproven this led Louis Pasteur

696
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:42.280
to discover pasteurization and revolutionize germ theory. Flat Earth beliefs

697
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:47.840
detailed maps, while Earth mappy makers or mappy maker map

698
01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:52.719
makers used flawed models of Earth. The challenger fitting everything

699
01:03:52.920 --> 01:04:00.639
in spurred incredibly artistic and informative atlases of which are

700
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:08.800
still admired today. Okay, so I like those maps, the

701
01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:17.519
kind of artistic. Perhaps not perfect if you're traveling, but

702
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:23.440
just they look nice that they like those old maps.

703
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:28.559
Neptunes discovery via incorrect orbit math.

704
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:30.239
Maths.

705
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.400
We call it maps in this country urbane Levernia or

706
01:04:34.440 --> 01:04:43.639
Liveria maths. Urban Leaveria's maths predicted Neptune's location was slightly

707
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:48.119
off but still close enough to accidentally help astronomers spot

708
01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:53.239
the planet. Okay, that wasn't It's quite as interesting. Cold

709
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:57.840
fusion announcement nineteen eighty nine. Though it turned out to

710
01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:02.639
be bad science, the attempt to achieved cold fusion. Cold

711
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:09.199
fusion led to renewed interest and funding in alternative energy research,

712
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:16.639
and so the discovery of insulin dogs and pancreous confusion.

713
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:24.119
So early diabetes researchers misunderstood the pancreas's function, but in

714
01:05:24.199 --> 01:05:33.119
their flawed experiments on dogs they accidentally isolated insulin. Blimey,

715
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:41.800
it's yeah, it's amazing.

716
01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:45.320
Really, I don't know, it's not going to be.

717
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:49.800
It might not be super excited for everyone that's listening,

718
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:57.880
but I found it quite exciting, quite interesting. And venis

719
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:02.280
still kind of a little hussling me wanting.

720
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:06.599
To go out. Would you look at me for when

721
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:09.880
I said that? Did you feel? I said, go out.

722
01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:12.679
For a walk?

723
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:13.880
So what you thought?

724
01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:20.559
I said, go for a walk? That fly, you know,

725
01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:22.880
now got two flies, one in the kitchen and one

726
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:29.480
in the living room. Either that or it's invited. I

727
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:32.039
don't know. It might just follow me.

728
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:35.239
Anyway.

729
01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:37.760
The noise downstairs has got a little bit noisier, So

730
01:06:37.800 --> 01:06:46.039
I'm going to go. Thank you for listening, Ah, and

731
01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:49.119
remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve

732
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:53.840
to be happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve

733
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:57.880
to feel safe. Lots of love.

734
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:01.280
