Aaaand Americans (apparently) _love_ to describe how _small_ Britain is compared to the vast USA / America (claiming both Canada and Mexico as their own due to the sheer size of that part of the continent... Not sure what or even if they consider Central or South America?!)
I work with many Americans who travel widely, have seen how the standard of living is much higher elsewhere in the world than at home, see how advanced other societies are compared to their own and who are intelligent and open-minded, yet they often have an unshakable, fundamental belief that the USA is the greatest country in the world. That is the product of indoctrination from birth. It is very hard to shrug that off. It is at the centre of every interaction they have with the wider world.
@@steveb1243 Yes, there's something very cult-like about the USA. They make their primary school age children recite a pledge of allegiance every day FFS
Tim Berners Lee, invented HTML, but instead of demanding payment or the purchase of a license to use it... he gave it to the world for free, instead of becoming the worlds richest man!
HTML - the way web pages are formatted, and HTTP - the way browsers communicate with servers to access pages of HTML. Together these two technologies form the backbone of the world wide web. They sit upon TCP/IP which are the fundamental technology of the entire internet, not just www.
Turing's must have been one of the saddest stories though? His work during the war saved the lives of millions of people plus forwarding computer science. He was rewarded with a choice between jail or a medical intervention, which is thought to have led to his suicide? He was homosexual and this country betrayed a genius.
On June 7, 1954 Turing probably committed suicide in Wilmslow, a town in Cheshire, England, by eating an apple laced with cyanide. He was only 42 years old. He was inspired by the apple in Disney's Snow White 1937.
@@AnnaBellaChannel He was indeed horribly pilloried at the time. I hope our society has grown up a bit more now. There are some tales of his rather, er, messy experimentation which might have caused the cyanide to be a mistake on his part. But he was pressured by the establishment.
Sentenced to involuntary chemical castration for being found guilty of indulging in homosexual acts. Even hero’s like Turing weren’t above the law. It’s a shame the laws of the time were so ass
I was thinking exactly the same. The American Mojo channel does top 20 lists so maybe the British version should do the same cos there is a lot of topics that they cover and we all say how come this person(s) isn't on the list
@@UTubeAngelique You need to understand what a theory is, it is not an idea it is a framework which is tested by observation and experimentation. Einstein's General and Special theories of relativity for instance.
@@darkpitcher5242 I think ‘you’ need to understand what a ‘theory’ is and not insult someone else’s ‘thoughts, ideas and understanding’. It just makes you look arrogant and self-assured by your own assumptions. It’s a free world. Discovery is everything, theory is just an idea. I don’t ‘need’ to understand anything without physical evidence.
after watching his twin brother's videos I am convinced he is just putting on "stupid American" act for views. He reacts to the same topics every day, and is always surprised like "what?! PUDDING?!?! IN America we only have chocolate pudding!" "What! You call COOKIES BISCUITS?!?!" "OH MY! You have a MONARCHY!?!?!" Like every day he is surprised by the same 6 facts about the UK. and he has a Canadian channel with the same type of content-- which obviously has a lot of cross over on some of these topics, and he plays the same game.
Problem is Americans like to claim responsibility for EVERYTHING. They think their sooooo great. If Aliens land, PLEEEEASE don't land in America u'll only learn they're take on the Planet, which would be 'The whole world is American' lol
We also have Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) who were responsible for the invention of Computers (The Analytical Engine) and computer programming respectively We have the Father of computers (Babbage), Mother of computer programming (Lovelace), Father of computer science (Turing) and Father of the World Wide Web (Berners-Lee).
let's not forget the contribution of Tommy Flowers, the GPO technician that designed and built "Colossus", the first computer, using valves, for the Bletchley Park codebreakers of Station X, of whom Alan Turing was one.
Three times lying in a row. British arroganz in it's purety. Proudly taught in british schools over and over again. Just fubar the terms them selfs until it fits.
Unfortunately Babbage's invention went nowhere. It had no impact on future developments, it influenced nothing. It is only with hindsight someone noted that he had been working in the direction things went. That's why he garners little respect or adulation for his achievements.
Aussie here, maiden name Stuart, my great grandfather born 1836 from Lanarkshire Glasgow Scotland - and I copped the red hair😊 Oh, and our TV awards here are called The Logies - After John Logie Baird.
He didn't find how to stabilise the formula to use it for treating people, Howard Florey and his team at Oxford University did that, he was Australian.
Tyler, The Higgs Boson particle was first observed on July 4th 2012 using the large hadron collider in Geneva Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built. The accelerator sits in a tunnel 100 metres underground at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. Sir Tim Berners Lee the inventor of the World Wide Web worked at CERN when he developed the world wide web. He gave it to the world and made no money from it. Isaac Newton couldn't possibly be American, he died in 1727, 49 years before the creation of the USA.
Got to agree it was very big news at the time. If it doesn't happen in America they don't report it. It is truly scandalous how they are so self obsessed (most of them). To be honest its scary
As an 80 year old who never took a science lesson in her life knew every one of those scientists and what they did, just by reading and listening all her long life. It would help if the commentator did that!
I'm a brit and we are taught or just knew that the groundbreaking scientists come from different countries and not just Great Britain. Some are controversial as like minded people have similar ideas all over the world, but sometimes its about who announces it first if you know what I mean. Great channel and good to find you again.
other mentions: George Stevenson: inventor of steam train Isambard Kingdom Brunel: huge contribution's to transatlantic steam ships and modern suspension bridges James Watt: invented the separate condenser which hugely improved the efficiency of the steam engine Frank Whittle: inventor of the turbojet engine john Logie Baird: inventor of the first working live television system
My son was in Brunel house at school! We are so very proud! On visiting Bristol to see SS Great Britain (his ship!) we were told by the guide that although he was not actually born in ‘Brizzle’ (!) Bristolians claim him as theirs! He was actually born in Portsmouth. Like we can claim sir Edward Elgar as ours as we live literally just up the road (a couple of miles) from Elgar’s birthplace in Lower Broadheath, Worcester, West Mids!
I remember in the late 70s, when Sir Michael Palin started his long and distinguished career as an international TV traveller after being one of the Monty Python team, and made a film of his rail journey from London Euston to the Kyle of Lochalsh in Scotland stopping off at places of interest en route. I remember his visit to York where an American family looked at George Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’. The father, dressed modestly but in clothes that shouted his nationality, took a great and respectful interest but as the camera cut away was heard to say ‘I wonder who Stephenson was?’ I can only feel that had Tyler been there he would have nodded his head and agreed.
I'd really love it if you watched the opening ceremony to the British Olympics 2012. It features what Britain has contributed to the world. It was beautiful. It might be something that you watch yourself rather than dedicate a whole video, reacting to it but it was a great time to be British. ❤
Indeed! What a time to be alive and British! The London games was INCREDIBLE, Sydney and beijig were great, but LONDON WAS SO COOL, do you remember the BBC end of night program? It finished with a close up of the petals/ cauldron and the REMARKABLE Underworld score. I bought a blue Ray copy immediately, if I watch the closing program from any day, I cry like a baby. RULE BRITANNIA. God save the King.
That would just confuse the poor little internally gazing plebs. They would feel for sure that the Queen was a parachutist. As for Alan Turin, he invented foreign holidays.
Henry Ford visited the assembly line making Enfield Rifles in London. He went back and applied to his car factory in the US, everything he had seen in Industrial Britain. The rest is history.
Thinking Darwin and Newton were American is actually shocking! So is claiming that Tim Berners Lee isn't a HUGE name in science education. I mean, we hear about the state of american education, but it is actually frightening how misled you get in school. I get the US needs to feel like they are all important (and Im sure would be delighted to claim all of this), but still!
It’s not just the education system…there seems to be a general disinterest in learning about the world, or advances in science, etc., … if you’re the greatest, no need to learn about the inferiors
Oh dear, poor Tyler you are going to get some stick for this one , we don't go manic over a flag but do become VERY PATRIOTIC over our knowledge / scientist , yes we are knowledge scientist snobs , and yes we do push out our chest and claim to be the best . Its good you knew some of them and your here to learn .
Tyler, as a 73 yo with no grandkids, pls allow me to give you some grandmotherly advice …Search out a video about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for your own edification. It’s a 17 mile long circular particle accelerator… absolutely amazing! The Higgs boson has been called ‘the God particle’, yet the LHC is undergoing a massive expansion in the quest to find even smaller particles! Scientists from around the world work there…I bet there’s even an American or two😂 (sorry, couldn’t resist!)
Despite being of a similar age, my grandmotherliness disappeared the day I saw a misprint describing The Large Hardon Collider. I still snigger like a teenage boy about that.
This list is short of so many names, even just among Scottish names that are missing we have James Clark Maxwell without his field equations, most of our technology wouldn’t exist. John Logie Baird who invented the television, James Young paraffin oil, James Watt who made the steam engine work and that is barley scratching the surface of just Scottish scientists that changed the world(Alexander Fleming was also Scottish for the record). I would argue some of these names changed the World more then the ones in the video
My understanding is Alexander Fleming and his colleagues gave America the formula for penicillin, as we were in the middle World War Two. They did this knowing America would be able to manufacture large amounts of this important antibiotic much needed to aid recovery of soldiers during the war.
The internet is just an interconnection of computers joined by a multitude of connection types allowing a form of communication. But without the www there is limited usage unless you know EXACTLY where the information you want is stored on the internet.
Scotland was ahead of England in sciences back then as Scotland educated its population England didn’t educate the poop people this is why we have the Scottish enlightenment there wasn’t an English enlightenment lol
Tyler, I think that you have an open mind, something to be proud of. Anyway, there many more British inventions but if I were you I'd look for a list of Scottish inventions.
@@Parker_Douglas Wrong....Anyone in Great Britain is referred to as British....... whether England (English), Scotland (Scottish) or Wales (Welsh) - still ALL British.
@@malcolmstockbridge2569 lol, what did the spice girls invent lol Australia invented the black box (which is now orange) flight tracker/detector dooverlacky 😊. Many other things, but some countries say, we did that first. Some things were around but improved to what we use today. Every time I say Aus invented Wifi, someone says, Hedie Lamar did. Well she did have a hand in it years ago, but what world uses today was improved by CSIRO Australia. Great vid on that one. And the Electric drill and um … a list of 60 others on Google, not RUclips
The persistent ability of people on RUclips to be astonished by things which should be common knowledge, never ceases to amaze (and depress) me. I despair for the future of society.
So about the internet - WWW distinction: a good analogy is they're like a pipe and the water in the pipe, respectively. The internet is the "network of networks" connecting all these computers together, and a common set of protocols for them to send packets of information. The WWW is the language of websites. It's how you encode & decode packets that tell your browser what the website should look like, say, and do.
@@crazyking3329 well he was right, I think that Tyler like so many know only that the American army created a send and receive program, kind of digital Morse code well a program written in basic where the messages could be displayed on a screen the text could be between 2 operators in real time, more than one computer could be in a network akin to what we now call an intranet but it had no real computing function as we know it, it is however the erroneous belief that the web is an American invention, urban myths god help us !
_Thank-you_ for taking the time and effort to explain that here... (from a 71 yo English woman who's _very far from being_ 'tech-savvy' !!) 👍🏴🤭🇬🇧🖖
I go with "The Internet isn't a single pipe. Think of it like 65536 separate pipes all bound together. WWW uses pipes 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), email uses different pipes, FTP uses other pipes..."
@@HuwBass Definitely more accurate than my comment. I was considering talking a little bit about non-HTTP/s uses of the internet, but I thought it might get a bit too complex for people whose entire experience with the internet has been through a browser.
To put the Higgs-Boson in extremely simple. It was a theorised particle that, if real, would ensure a lot of what we 'knew' in physics to be true. In turn if it didn't exist, it would basically mean that we had gotten something really really wrong in our understanding of the universe somewhere, to the point we may have to almost go back to square 1. Professor Higgs believed greatly that the particle in question was true but never believed it would be discovered in his lifetime. But in 2012 it was discovered and he was incredibly amazed at being able to witness such a feat. Unfortunately, he has since passed away, about 4 months ago at the good ol' age of 94
I remember when only people who studied computers could use them. Then there was the idea that computers could " talk" to each other. But it was only with the invention of the world wide web that the ordinary person became an everyday user. It changed everything.
A claim to fame of mine is that I once shared a lift with James Watson (co-discoverer of the structure of DNA) at a conference. 😁. Btw Issac Newton lived from 1642-1726. He died 50 years before the USA was founded.
We don't learn about British accomplishments. Says someone who is probably partly British himself, living in a former British colony and speaking English (sort of)
@@karstenstormiversen4837 nah, it was a British colony, doesn’t matter how many other people moved over later pretty much everyone will have some British ancestry in there somewhere.
@@Sparx632 You do know the anglo saxons originally came from northern Germany right! And then the Normans invaded England in 1066 also originated from Denmark/Norway! Also known as Norse (Vikings)! Even the royal family name is originally named Sachsen - coburg that is also German but changed it to Windsor to sound more English as well! Real facts and history matters instead of fantasy history!
Perhaps you should look at the video "Why you should thank the British - for their inventions and science" by Reef Rebels. He goes through all the scientific inventions and discoveries that the British are responsible for. And he's an Aussie, so it's not biased. Some other channels have reacted to that one - which is how I know about it - and, basically, it'd be cool to watch you react to that one, as I think it'll blow your mind just how long the list is and how much British science and invention has changed the world. (Also, it's the more practical list - actual inventions that we all use - that you seem to have been expecting for this one.)
Internet is a computer talking to another computer using a modem (modulator / demodulator). WWW, is using a computer as a server to be able to hold information, for any other computer to connect to with a www address and be served up a visual page of information, with different www pages connected or ‘webbed’ together with hyperlinks. So without www the internet is just connecting PCs directly to share files etc, no web pages.
The story about the building of the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, the years of experimentation, and eventually detecting the particle Higgs and team had predicted. has been on the TV news quite regularly over here in the UK
Including the fact that prior to a proof-reading episode, facts which supported information about the LHC were erroneously noted to be about the "Hard on Collider" ...and soon corrected, sadly, as was very funny!! 😊😅😂
Hate to russle your Jimmies, but Americans didn't invent the internet either, or the computer. Or most of the other things Americans seem to have been taught (or assume) they are responsible for.

My 12-yr old grandson and I watched this entertaining reaction synchroniously - me in Europe, he in Queensland. We both fell about laughing at your reaction to the Higgs Boson. It hadn't been discovered when I was at school, but my grandsons have explained it to me, and its importance - though it took them a hour or so to do so. So don't feel bad, Tyler! 🤔🧐
@@DavidCalvert-mh9sy Yes, my daughter married an Aussie, and they have six grommets, two of whom now board at their school outside Melbourne. The family lives on the Sunshine Coast.

Keeping up with 17 grandsons and trying to be a "with-it" gramps is keeping me young(ish). 🙄
You think you could have carried on without knowing about gravity but think of all the engineering projects or even going into space where gravity is 'quite important'!
It's a shame Newton was wrong about gravity though, see he believed it to be a force, but discovering a new mathematical model (calculus), did indeed help us begin to understand how our solar system worked, almost perfectly, but there was it couldn't account for the orbit of Mercury, we have Einstein to thank for that, he showed that gravity wasn't a force as Newton had assumed, but it is in fact (fact - as in scientific theory) the curvature of space-time. And I may be wrong but I believe Tyler just said that he could live without knowing what the structure of DNA was, which of course he was right. And yes we could have carried on without knowing what gravity was, Newton didn't invent gravity, he just gave it a name and assumed it to be a force, his equations were accurate enough to use for us to get to the moon though, so he wasn't far off.
Turing did some code breaking. That was needed during the second world war, Mostly he was a mathematician and computer scientist - before computer science was a thing. He was almost the start of computers. Your smartphone wouldn't work without his work.
Most important thing to understand, is that science is a continuum. It needs the basic theories to develope new and complicated inventions. Good example is the structure of matters and they way how different forces influence to world. But I think the most important thing, what education has given to me ( I’m from Finland) is the will to seek more and more information of the world. Not just learning names and years.😊
This list only scratches the surface. For example, roughly 1/3 of physics people learn at school was basically discovered in the UK, especially places like the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge which single-handedly is associated with 30 Nobel prizes (!)
Alexander & Graham are typical Scottish names. Wow, you've learnt how to say Graham correctly, instead of uttering 'gram'. Jenner was the inventor of vaccines, which have saved millions of lives, he was British too. Americans imagine that Americans invented everything, but we British know it was mostly the British that did. Darwin was British of course, who worked out evolutionary theory. The captain of the Beagle ship that took Darwin on his voyage of discovery, Fitzroy worked out the weather patterns & began the Meteorological service in Britain, which then spread around the world. Isaac Newton worked on advanced mathematics, light & optics, as well as gravity.
I think Mary Wortley Montague popularised innoculation, as opposed to vaccination, before Jenner. She was in Turkey and it was a common practice there. She had her children innoculated.
@@HJJSL-bl8kk Indeed. Lady Mary, a few decades before, having inoculated Jenner himself as a kid, had also inoculated all of King's & Queen's children. She had already contributed hugely to humanity in the field of saving people's lives; before Jenner was even born. So it irks me that any country could continue to ignore & marginalise her because of her gender.(Throughout history, and still even now) Or the fact that she was English.
For a little context, in the Netherlands and all dutch speaking regions of the globe, "Bellen" is a verb. Eg. Ik Bel - i call(on a telephone), je Belt, u Belt, hij Belt, zij Belt, wij Bellen, jullie Bellen zij Bellen. His name is a part of their language.
@@HJJSL-bl8kkI wonder how many women discovered things in past times when they would have been unable to register for a patent. It was ages ago when I read such an article but apparently lots of women invented important things that their husbands were given the credit for due to only them being able to register the patent .
No, not true. We can guesstimate them. Last I heard there are almost 2 Billion people alive today because of antibiotics. Those saved directly plus their children, grandchildren etc
The Smallpox vaccine developed from Cowpox, a disease that was common amongst Dairy Maids, those that had caught it were found to be immune to Smallpox. The whole village got Smallpox except the facially scarred Dairy Maids. Cowpox caught from handling cows udders when a cow had Mastitis. Initially the diluted secretion from an udder was rubbed on a skin scratch to vaccinate. Thus the local Dr. Jenner was credited with the prevention of the spread of Smallpox.
@@DeltaMikeTorrevieja - Same with insulin "discovered" in Canada. Jenner (UK) was briefly mentioned in the video as the creator of the first vaccine for cowpox which eventually morphed into the smallpox vaccine.
Please people out there do not ask Tyler any questions or ask him anything or even pass on any information to him because he never reads, replies or even acknowledges anyone who contacts him. He completely ignores his commentators as if we do not exist.
Because he makes money from the views either way, and as he seems to have very little knowledge, he clearly isn't someone who has ever wanted to learn anyway. It is like all these Americans that watch videos about the UK, but have never bothered to actually travel to any of these places. They can make a lot of money from it
I am afraid he comes over as clueless and he seems to find his lack of knowledge funny. I would be ashamed to admit to knowing so little. The American education system has a lot to answer for.
In America, the nationality of great people is only given special attention if they are citizens of the country. Is there a more obvious display of insecurity? British culture dictates that we don't blow our own trumpet too loudly. Pride comes before a fall.
I agree about the importance of penicillin. Before it people died of minor infections, so many children didn't survive to adulthood, pneumonia and flu killed you and women died of post partum infections who can now be saved. But why would these inventions have been American? Most of them happened when the USA hardly existed.
He discovered crude penicillin accidentally, but an Australian and his team (including a German turned British citizen Ernst Chain) who actually made it into a useful and effective drug, as well as developing ways to grow, purify and manufacture it ten years after Fleming abandoned development.
@@Parker_Douglas You are totally incorrect. Fleming accidently discovered the mould but had already abandoned it, in other words he stopped working with it, so no penicillin was available, none was being developed and none was being manufactured because the usable version that Florey and his team discovered, grew, purified and manufactured didn't exist yet. Ten years later Fleming and team picked up on Flemings unused and currently useless work and figured out a way to create a medicine that was impactful and useful to use around the world as well as how to grow the mould on an industrial scale...how to purify the mould on an industrial scale, how to manufacture the medicine, undertake toxicology tests undertook clinical testing. So Fleming went oops in my messy laboratory I discovered this mould, it has some interesting properties but decided to put it aside and abandoned any more work with it. The others actually did the heavy lifting and did all the discoveries in all the processes on the beginning, middle and end results in the processes on creating penicillin the medicine as we know it. He is only a nobel award winner because he "discovered" the mould...but he was one of three that won the nobel award and Howard Florey and Ernst (forget his last name) were the other two who actually discovered and made the actual medicine.
@@Parker_Douglas No, Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin by accident. He was sloppy with his cleaning. Florey and Chain managed to extract penicillin from the mold so it could be used as a drug just in time for WW2. Penicillin has saved so many people lives.
and a lot of other things that were not invented by the british , were invented by others , like the Germans or French . So USA did not invent much , but they did nick things (like the Lightbulb )
@@araptorofnote5938 - Yup. He bought the patents and took all the credit as the "Wizzard of Menlo Park". IMO Tesla far surpassed his genius and things he imagined were not even created in his lifetime but decades later because the technology couldn't keep up. Marconi used many of his ideas as well. There is a statue of Nicola Tesla in Niagara Falls Canada. He created a power generating station nearby that still functions.
Not heard of the Large Hadron Collider.....Interesting. It's not something you necessarily learn about in school, unless you do advanced physice- but just general knowledge about the modern world....I don't even begin to understand what it's all about, but I *know about its existence. I would have included Alce Jeffreys of Leicester University who developed the first 'genetic fingerprinting' (which is nothing to do with fingerprints in the traditional sense) in 1984, which is now used to identify of people present at a crime scene throughout the world.
It's just a big loop designed for smashing particles together really fast and seeing what happens from the interactions. Hadrons are just a category of composite subatomic particles, which include things like protons and neutrons.
Every video Tyler appears to start with. 'Here in America we are not taught this'. Do Americans no get they are living in a bubble. Quite similar to Russia.
Tyler claims to be "a typical average American" and yet, I wonder just _how_ "typically average" as an American he actually _is_ ?! Surely, _some_ Americans who'd similarly claim to be "Average Americans" know far more about "stuff" than Tyler, here? He claims to represent Americans, as if, if _he_ _hasn't learned_ / _been taught_ / or just doesn't _know_ about anything, than, it _isn't or wasn't taught in America_ 🇺🇲🤔? Really Tyler?!😮😮😮😮🤔

The Higg's boson, also known as the "God particle", is what confirmed the existance of the Higg's field, that in turn is responsible for particles having mass. So yeah, pretty important I'd say 😂
Post WW2 in the 1950’s and 1960’s American searchers used to tour British universities’ in order to offer graduates prestigious jobs in America with fantastic salaries to tempt them to move to America. In Britain this time was named the “Brain Drain”.
It's so wrong to characterise Alexander Fleming's discoveries as being due to happenstance. For example he spent one entire Christmas Day operating on numerous WW1 casualties and found that so many died of their wounds despite his surgical skill. This led him on a long search for a substance that could control infection and he was ultimately successful. I was shocked to learn that one of the first human test cases was a policeman who had got an infection from pruning roses ( from the spines). He was treated with penicillin and was much improved before they ran out of the antibiotic - he relapsed and died.
Although... discovery is the key word which belongs to Flemming and rightly gets his praise. However, there are notable others as side from Fleming that have gotten lost in history. Fleming discovered the effect of penicillin, but he didn't develop it into a useful antibiotic. In fact, it remained something of a laboratory curiosity for years. What made the difference was the work of Howard Florey (a brilliant chemist), Ernst Chain and colleagues at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at Oxford University. It was they that produced, at great effort, the first batch of penicillin. It was they that turned penicillin into a practical pharmaceutical.
The Nobel prize for the invention of penicillin as an antibiotic was shared by three people. Alexander Fleming (who discovered it), Howard Florey (who did the clinical trials and so much work on producing is as an antibiotic) and Ernst Chain who helped Florey. Also, another important unsung hero was Norman Heatley who developed the back-extraction technique for efficiently purifying penicillin in bulk. Without his work, they wouldn't be able to produce anti-biotics in bulk. I'm saying this because those I mention never get any credit or praise. Without those other people, it would've sat in Flemming's office and just be something "interesting".
Don't they tell you in American schools that they are British scientists? I would hypothesize that Americans are too proud to acknowledge another countries achievements to give credit to that country in hope to steer the American public into thinking it's American.
Don't worry, Tyler for I believe their are many British folk who wouldn't know all of these names. As a matter of interest, Darwin was born in Shrewsbury in Shropshire in the middle of England, not far from where I live! At least you are trying to educate yourself and learn new things and i commend you for that. There is much in the world I don't know and it is fun to never stop searching and learning new things. I love your videos.
Im only at the 1st one and I'm astounded that you don't know what the Higgs Boson is! Its named "The God Particle" for a reason. Even if you didn't learn about it at school (I didn't as I'm too old), surely you've heard about it on the news? Maybe do a reaction video to CERN, you will learn a lot about it there. Love from Leeds UK.
my brain hurts at the fact that dorothy found out over a 100 years ago about human health problem,s today... yet its not been fixed and we still have issues with this.
It always surprises me that many claim they do not know about something because they were never taught it in school! Do people stop learning about the world because they are no longer in school? Mind boggling!
The internet is the wiring and basic protocols that allow communication around the world. The world wide web uses the internet and is what you see in a web browser. Outlook, OneDrive, Skype, Zoom and WhatApp (for example) all use the internet but are not the www. If you play games online, that's the internet but not the www. It says a lot about how important the www is that so many people don't know the difference between the internet and the www. I'm confident that the internet would not be ubiquitous today without the www.
From the Canadian Encyclopedia. Alexander Graham Bell, teacher of the deaf, inventor, scientist (born 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland; died 1922 Baddeck, NS. Considered second only to Thomas Edison among 19th century scientists. American educational system could be so much more. 🍁
So many more ,Logie Baird ,George Stephenson . . . also many were not just British but Scottish . And sadly the greatest American inventor, Thomas Edison, mainly just repatented European inventions in America under the American patent office .
James Watt, steam engines and after whom the Watt is named. John Smith who began stratigraphy and mapped the rocks of England and Wales on horseback. A process now used to understand how the moon and other space spheres developed. Of course, it helps us find all those fossil fuels, metal ores, and minerals we need for our phones and computers. Hooke who invented the microscope and then drew the microscopic structures he could see. I believe it was Newton who said he achieved so much because he stood on the shoulders of other great men. Women too, but their findings were often published by their brothers and passed off as their own, which perpetuated the belief that 'thinking' and 'female' were mutually incompatible. 😉
Hear are some suggestions of things you could react to: British place names that are the same as America. Funniest,rude place names in Britain. Cadburys (Uk) chocolate bars. Transportation. Doctor Who. React to a list of different UK supermarkets. Rural countryside. Most Scenic bus journeys. Meet snack beverages. BBC Sports TV theme tunes. British actors who had lead roles in American TV shows like Hugh Laurie in house and Alan cumming in the American version of traitors. British & American versions of the same TV shows. Programs made by Gerry Anderson. British female TV comedians: French & Saunders,Catherine Tate,Miranda Hart. Musicians people thought were British but American vice versa.
So how does a typical American identify an important person as being British? When reading an American publication, if the hero is American it will tell you which town and state he comes from. If it fails to mention where he comes from then he is British.
Dont forget Television (Logie Baird), Radar (Watson Watt)the Jet engine, (Frank Whittle) trains (George Stephenson), mass produced steel, stainless steel, the propeler, steel ships (Brunel), the hovercraft, (Christopher Cockrel) common law, longitude measurement, (John Harrison) Photography (Fox Talbot) The list goes on and on . Britain is second to the US in Nobel prize winners and a fraction of the population. whilst we invent and discover a lot we dont tend to shout about it or maximise the potential. America is so much better of exploiting potential which benefits all.

I am genuinely surprised tht you have never heard of the 'Higgs Boson Particle', you probably wouldn't have learnt about it in High school since it is a relatively new discovery. However; I would suggest that it takes a USA level of news introspection to have NOT heard of it since. Try the BBC World Service for your default news feed and discover how much MORE is happening in the rest of the world.
FYI The Internet is the infrastructure (hardware, wiring, routers, switches and associated protocols) the World Wide Web is software that sits on top (just one of many different types of software that use that infrastructure...other examples include FTP, Email and many more).

Wow. If this is a demonstration of the results of the American education system, it's grim. How anyone could think Darwin was American is beyond me.
Or Newton, who died 50 years before the USA was even born.
Shocking, isn't it! 🤯
I believe there was a big legal case about teaching Darwins theories in American schools, and that's why his name is familiar to Americans.
Or Bell he’s Scottish

The worst thing is; Americans don't get taught that "Darwin is American". They just assume he is.

I don’t mean to sound mean, but you were educated in a country that convinced it’s the best country in the world.
Very true
Yep, despite demonstrably not being in almost every single metric used to measure these things
I work with many Americans who travel widely, have seen how the standard of living is much higher elsewhere in the world than at home, see how advanced other societies are compared to their own and who are intelligent and open-minded, yet they often have an unshakable, fundamental belief that the USA is the greatest country in the world. That is the product of indoctrination from birth. It is very hard to shrug that off. It is at the centre of every interaction they have with the wider world.

Tim Berners Lee, invented HTML, but instead of demanding payment or the purchase of a license to use it... he gave it to the world for free, instead of becoming the worlds richest man!
Probably why they haven’t heard of him, no money no fame.
HTML - the way web pages are formatted, and HTTP - the way browsers communicate with servers to access pages of HTML. Together these two technologies form the backbone of the world wide web. They sit upon TCP/IP which are the fundamental technology of the entire internet, not just www.
Further proof he's not American!
HTML (and SGML) are ways of formatting data - it would not be impossible to transmit it using other protocols.
I like to make a very rough analogy internet =~ computer; browser =~ office product; web =~ documents accessed by the office product.
Turing's must have been one of the saddest stories though? His work during the war saved the lives of millions of people plus forwarding computer science. He was rewarded with a choice between jail or a medical intervention, which is thought to have led to his suicide? He was homosexual and this country betrayed a genius.
Shocking to me that he wasn't pardoned until 2013, failure of our Governement there.
On June 7, 1954 Turing probably committed suicide in Wilmslow, a town in Cheshire, England, by eating an apple laced with cyanide. He was only 42 years old. He was inspired by the apple in Disney's Snow White 1937.
@@AnnaBellaChannel He was indeed horribly pilloried at the time. I hope our society has grown up a bit more now.
There are some tales of his rather, er, messy experimentation which might have caused the cyanide to be a mistake on his part. But he was pressured by the establishment.

Michael Faraday (Electricity) and probably Joseph Lister (antiseptics) are two rather glaring omissions from that list
I was thinking exactly the same. The American Mojo channel does top 20 lists so maybe the British version should do the same cos there is a lot of topics that they cover and we all say how come this person(s) isn't on the list
Yet, Hawking and Darwin with their ‘theories’ (aka not discovering anything at all) made this list..? Laughable.😂
@@UTubeAngelique You need to understand what a theory is, it is not an idea it is a framework which is tested by observation and experimentation. Einstein's General and Special theories of relativity for instance.

@@darkpitcher5242 I think ‘you’ need to understand what a ‘theory’ is and not insult someone else’s ‘thoughts, ideas and understanding’.

We also have Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) who were responsible for the invention of Computers (The Analytical Engine) and computer programming respectively
We have the Father of computers (Babbage), Mother of computer programming (Lovelace), Father of computer science (Turing) and Father of the World Wide Web (Berners-Lee).
Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the poet Byron.
let's not forget the contribution of Tommy Flowers, the GPO technician that designed and built "Colossus", the first computer, using valves, for the Bletchley Park codebreakers of Station X, of whom Alan Turing was one.

Unfortunately Babbage's invention went nowhere. It had no impact on future developments, it influenced nothing.
It is only with hindsight someone noted that he had been working in the direction things went.
That's why he garners little respect or adulation for his achievements.

Tyler, The Higgs Boson particle was first observed on July 4th 2012 using the large hadron collider in Geneva Switzerland.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built. The accelerator sits in a tunnel 100 metres underground at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.
Sir Tim Berners Lee the inventor of the World Wide Web worked at CERN when he developed the world wide web. He gave it to the world and made no money from it.
Isaac Newton couldn't possibly be American, he died in 1727, 49 years before the creation of the USA.
Some people suggested that the LHC would destroy the earth when it was switched on. That made the news at the time.

Did you learn everything when young, or throughout your years? We're all learning all the time. This guy is relatively young and IS learning.

I remember his visit to York where an American family looked at George Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’. The father, dressed modestly but in clothes that shouted his nationality, took a great and respectful interest but as the camera cut away was heard to say ‘I wonder who Stephenson was?’ I can only feel that had Tyler been there he would have nodded his head and agreed.
I'd really love it if you watched the opening ceremony to the British Olympics 2012. It features what Britain has contributed to the world. It was beautiful. It might be something that you watch yourself rather than dedicate a whole video, reacting to it but it was a great time to be British. ❤

John Logie Baird who invented the television, James Young paraffin oil, James Watt who made the steam engine work and that is barley scratching the surface of just Scottish scientists that changed the world(Alexander Fleming was also Scottish for the record). I would argue some of these names changed the World more then the ones in the video
My understanding is Alexander Fleming and his colleagues gave America the formula for penicillin, as we were in the middle World War Two. They did this knowing America would be able to manufacture large amounts of this important antibiotic much needed to aid recovery of soldiers during the war.

So about the internet - WWW distinction: a good analogy is they're like a pipe and the water in the pipe, respectively. The internet is the "network of networks" connecting all these computers together, and a common set of protocols for them to send packets of information. The WWW is the language of websites. It's how you encode & decode packets that tell your browser what the website should look like, say, and do.

To put the Higgs-Boson in extremely simple. It was a theorised particle that, if real, would ensure a lot of what we 'knew' in physics to be true. In turn if it didn't exist, it would basically mean that we had gotten something really really wrong in our understanding of the universe somewhere, to the point we may have to almost go back to square 1. Professor Higgs believed greatly that the particle in question was true but never believed it would be discovered in his lifetime. But in 2012 it was discovered and he was incredibly amazed at being able to witness such a feat. Unfortunately, he has since passed away, about 4 months ago at the good ol' age of 94
I remember when only people who studied computers could use them. Then there was the idea that computers could " talk" to each other. But it was only with the invention of the world wide web that the ordinary person became an everyday user. It changed everything.

He goes through all the scientific inventions and discoveries that the British are responsible for. And he's an Aussie, so it's not biased.
Some other channels have reacted to that one - which is how I know about it - and, basically, it'd be cool to watch you react to that one, as I think it'll blow your mind just how long the list is and how much British science and invention has changed the world.
(Also, it's the more practical list - actual inventions that we all use - that you seem to have been expecting for this one.)
Internet is a computer talking to another computer using a modem (modulator / demodulator). WWW, is using a computer as a server to be able to hold information, for any other computer to connect to with a www address and be served up a visual page of information, with different www pages connected or ‘webbed’ together with hyperlinks. So without www the internet is just connecting PCs directly to share files etc, no web pages.

You think you could have carried on without knowing about gravity but think of all the engineering projects or even going into space where gravity is 'quite important'!
It's a shame Newton was wrong about gravity though, see he believed it to be a force, but discovering a new mathematical model (calculus), did indeed help us begin to understand how our solar system worked, almost perfectly, but there was it couldn't account for the orbit of Mercury, we have Einstein to thank for that, he showed that gravity wasn't a force as Newton had assumed, but it is in fact (fact - as in scientific theory) the curvature of space-time. And I may be wrong but I believe Tyler just said that he could live without knowing what the structure of DNA was, which of course he was right. And yes we could have carried on without knowing what gravity was, Newton didn't invent gravity, he just gave it a name and assumed it to be a force, his equations were accurate enough to use for us to get to the moon though, so he wasn't far off.

Most important thing to understand, is that science is a continuum. It needs the basic theories to develope new and complicated inventions. Good example is the structure of matters and they way how different forces influence to world.
But I think the most important thing, what education has given to me ( I’m from Finland) is the will to seek more and more information of the world. Not just learning names and years.😊
Way, way more than 10 British scientists have made world impacting discoveries.
This list only scratches the surface. For example, roughly 1/3 of physics people learn at school was basically discovered in the UK, especially places like the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge which single-handedly is associated with 30 Nobel prizes (!)
Alexander & Graham are typical Scottish names. Wow, you've learnt how to say Graham correctly, instead of uttering 'gram'. Jenner was the inventor of vaccines, which have saved millions of lives, he was British too. Americans imagine that Americans invented everything, but we British know it was mostly the British that did. Darwin was British of course, who worked out evolutionary theory. The captain of the Beagle ship that took Darwin on his voyage of discovery, Fitzroy worked out the weather patterns & began the Meteorological service in Britain, which then spread around the world. Isaac Newton worked on advanced mathematics, light & optics, as well as gravity.
I think Mary Wortley Montague popularised innoculation, as opposed to vaccination, before Jenner. She was in Turkey and it was a common practice there. She had her children innoculated.

The whole village got Smallpox except the facially scarred Dairy Maids. Cowpox caught from handling cows udders when a cow had Mastitis. Initially the diluted secretion from an udder was rubbed on a skin scratch to vaccinate. Thus the local Dr. Jenner was credited with the prevention of the spread of Smallpox.
@@DeltaMikeTorrevieja - Same with insulin "discovered" in Canada. Jenner (UK) was briefly mentioned in the video as the creator of the first vaccine for cowpox which eventually morphed into the smallpox vaccine.
Please people out there do not ask Tyler any questions or ask him anything or even pass on any information to him because he never reads, replies or even acknowledges anyone who contacts him. He completely ignores his commentators as if we do not exist.
Yes, it's very irritating. Why doesn't he want to learn?
Because he makes money from the views either way, and as he seems to have very little knowledge, he clearly isn't someone who has ever wanted to learn anyway. It is like all these Americans that watch videos about the UK, but have never bothered to actually travel to any of these places. They can make a lot of money from it
He really should turn comments off because the commentators are only sharing information amongst themselves
I am afraid he comes over as clueless and he seems to find his lack of knowledge funny. I would be ashamed to admit to knowing so little. The American education system has a lot to answer for.
@@jillbarker8271 I actually find his extreme ignorance to be partly hilarious, partly frustrating and partly mystifying in equal measure.
How can you not know about the large hadron collider? Or the Higgs Boson?
He's American 😂
@@John-jw8rx
Even more than that... He's Tyler...!! 🤔🤭
He'd barely heard of the telephone.
I have no issue with someone not knowing.. it's more the assumption that anyone he does know must be American.
In America, the nationality of great people is only given special attention if they are citizens of the country. Is there a more obvious display of insecurity? British culture dictates that we don't blow our own trumpet too loudly. Pride comes before a fall.
one of your best videos tyler, great job

I agree about the importance of penicillin. Before it people died of minor infections, so many children didn't survive to adulthood, pneumonia and flu killed you and women died of post partum infections who can now be saved. But why would these inventions have been American? Most of them happened when the USA hardly existed.
He discovered crude penicillin accidentally, but an Australian and his team (including a German turned British citizen Ernst Chain) who actually made it into a useful and effective drug, as well as developing ways to grow, purify and manufacture it ten years after Fleming abandoned development.
@@stevenbalekic5683taking another man’s work & passing it off as your own that’s what they did
@@Parker_Douglas
You are totally incorrect. Fleming accidently discovered the mould but had already abandoned it, in other words he stopped working with it, so no penicillin was available, none was being developed and none was being manufactured because the usable version that Florey and his team discovered, grew, purified and manufactured didn't exist yet.
Ten years later Fleming and team picked up on Flemings unused and currently useless work and figured out a way to create a medicine that was impactful and useful to use around the world as well as how to grow the mould on an industrial scale...how to purify the mould on an industrial scale, how to manufacture the medicine, undertake toxicology tests undertook clinical testing.
So Fleming went oops in my messy laboratory I discovered this mould, it has some interesting properties but decided to put it aside and abandoned any more work with it. The others actually did the heavy lifting and did all the discoveries in all the processes on the beginning, middle and end results in the processes on creating penicillin the medicine as we know it.
He is only a nobel award winner because he "discovered" the mould...but he was one of three that won the nobel award and Howard Florey and Ernst (forget his last name) were the other two who actually discovered and made the actual medicine.
VERY well said.
@@Parker_Douglas No, Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin by accident. He was sloppy with his cleaning. Florey and Chain managed to extract penicillin from the mold so it could be used as a drug just in time for WW2. Penicillin has saved so many people lives.
and a lot of other things that were not invented by the british , were invented by others , like the Germans or French . So USA did not invent much , but they did nick things (like the Lightbulb )
Thomas Edison was the American genius who invented the Patent loophole.
@@araptorofnote5938 - Yup. He bought the patents and took all the credit as the "Wizzard of Menlo Park". IMO Tesla far surpassed his genius and things he imagined were not even created in his lifetime but decades later because the technology couldn't keep up. Marconi used many of his ideas as well. There is a statue of Nicola Tesla in Niagara Falls Canada. He created a power generating station nearby that still functions.
They also laid claim to the WW2 enigma coding machine, by making a film about it quite recently. They are invention thieves!
Oh, yes! Nice answer!
@@patbrown8117 - Yes, U571 was captured by the British. Other precursors were also captured by the Brits.
Not heard of the Large Hadron Collider.....Interesting. It's not something you necessarily learn about in school, unless you do advanced physice- but just general knowledge about the modern world....I don't even begin to understand what it's all about, but I *know about its existence.
I would have included Alce Jeffreys of Leicester University who developed the first 'genetic fingerprinting' (which is nothing to do with fingerprints in the traditional sense) in 1984, which is now used to identify of people present at a crime scene throughout the world.
It's just a big loop designed for smashing particles together really fast and seeing what happens from the interactions. Hadrons are just a category of composite subatomic particles, which include things like protons and neutrons.
Every video Tyler appears to start with.
'Here in America we are not taught this'.
Do Americans no get they are living in a bubble. Quite similar to Russia.
Tyler claims to be "a typical average American" and yet, I wonder just _how_ "typically average" as an American he actually _is_ ?! Surely, _some_ Americans who'd similarly claim to be "Average Americans" know far more about "stuff" than Tyler, here?
He claims to represent Americans, as if, if _he_ _hasn't learned_ / _been taught_ / or just doesn't _know_ about anything, than, it _isn't or wasn't taught in America_ 🇺🇲🤔? Really Tyler?!😮😮😮😮🤔
@@brigidsingleton1596 He is your average wilfully ignorant American who has never left his bubble and leads a very insular life also has very little social awareness
Oh, they know. But they're attitude is, "We're the greatest country, why would we want to know about anywhere else".
@@TerryTheNewsGirl
That's sad...
Ask any physicist and they would probably be shocked by the omission of one name: James Clerk Maxwell.
The Higg's boson, also known as the "God particle", is what confirmed the existance of the Higg's field, that in turn is responsible for particles having mass. So yeah, pretty important I'd say 😂
Post WW2 in the 1950’s and 1960’s American searchers used to tour British universities’ in order to offer graduates prestigious jobs in America with fantastic salaries to tempt them to move to America. In Britain this time was named the “Brain Drain”.
Not just from the UK but from many countries. They probably think Einstein was born in the US.
Higg’s particles aren’t “pretty damn big”. They’re pretty damn small.
Sorry, silly joke.
They are pretty damn massive though, which is one of the reasons they took so long to find. 😄
"I think I have heard of Alexander Fleming but I don't know what he did or that he was British." 😂😂😂
It's so wrong to characterise Alexander Fleming's discoveries as being due to happenstance. For example he spent one entire Christmas Day operating on numerous WW1 casualties and found that so many died of their wounds despite his surgical skill. This led him on a long search for a substance that could control infection and he was ultimately successful.
I was shocked to learn that one of the first human test cases was a policeman who had got an infection from pruning roses ( from the spines). He was treated with penicillin and was much improved before they ran out of the antibiotic - he relapsed and died.
Although... discovery is the key word which belongs to Flemming and rightly gets his praise. However, there are notable others as side from Fleming that have gotten lost in history.
Fleming discovered the effect of penicillin, but he didn't develop it into a useful antibiotic. In fact, it remained something of a laboratory curiosity for years.
What made the difference was the work of Howard Florey (a brilliant chemist), Ernst Chain and colleagues at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at Oxford University. It was they that produced, at great effort, the first batch of penicillin. It was they that turned penicillin into a practical pharmaceutical.
The Nobel prize for the invention of penicillin as an antibiotic was shared by three people.
Alexander Fleming (who discovered it), Howard Florey (who did the clinical trials and so much work on producing is as an antibiotic) and Ernst Chain who helped Florey.
Also, another important unsung hero was Norman Heatley who developed the back-extraction technique for efficiently purifying penicillin in bulk. Without his work, they wouldn't be able to produce anti-biotics in bulk.
I'm saying this because those I mention never get any credit or praise. Without those other people, it would've sat in Flemming's office and just be something "interesting".
Don't they tell you in American schools that they are British scientists? I would hypothesize that Americans are too proud to acknowledge another countries achievements to give credit to that country in hope to steer the American public into thinking it's American.
We Brits are pretty clever aren’t we
Are we? What have you invented?
@@nicolab2075 It’s top secret unfortunately. I can’t share that kind of information on here.
@@malpa2345 Must be very important.
Don't worry, Tyler for I believe their are many British folk who wouldn't know all of these names. As a matter of interest, Darwin was born in Shrewsbury in Shropshire in the middle of England, not far from where I live! At least you are trying to educate yourself and learn new things and i commend you for that. There is much in the world I don't know and it is fun to never stop searching and learning new things. I love your videos.
when you learntt about code breaking - did you learn about the Navajo native speakers whose language the Nazi's couldn't break???
Actually, it was the Japanese.
You should do a video on American inventers and pioneers. It might only last 20-30 seconds but hey. Should be interesting!
Im only at the 1st one and I'm astounded that you don't know what the Higgs Boson is! Its named "The God Particle" for a reason. Even if you didn't learn about it at school (I didn't as I'm too old), surely you've heard about it on the news? Maybe do a reaction video to CERN, you will learn a lot about it there. Love from Leeds UK.
my brain hurts at the fact that dorothy found out over a 100 years ago about human health problem,s today... yet its not been fixed and we still have issues with this.
It always surprises me that many claim they do not know about something because they were never taught it in school! Do people stop learning about the world because they are no longer in school? Mind boggling!
Everyone has heard of 'the Higg's Boson' is the particle that gives the first clue that will explain how gravity works
No, it isn't. We know how gravity works. The Higgs gives a particle its mass.

The internet is the wiring and basic protocols that allow communication around the world. The world wide web uses the internet and is what you see in a web browser. Outlook, OneDrive, Skype, Zoom and WhatApp (for example) all use the internet but are not the www. If you play games online, that's the internet but not the www. It says a lot about how important the www is that so many people don't know the difference between the internet and the www. I'm confident that the internet would not be ubiquitous today without the www.
From the Canadian Encyclopedia. Alexander Graham Bell, teacher of the deaf, inventor, scientist (born 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland; died 1922 Baddeck, NS. Considered second only to Thomas Edison among 19th century scientists. American educational system could be so much more. 🍁
It’s easy to have a messy office, it’s less easy to use it to save millions of lives. ;)

So many more ,Logie Baird ,George Stephenson . . . also many were not just British but Scottish . And sadly the greatest American inventor, Thomas Edison, mainly just repatented European inventions in America under the American patent office .
I agree, Joseph Swan invented the modern lightbulb in 1878, and Edison copied the idea and repatented it in the US in 1879-80 (date uncertain)
There's some controversy about whether he invented the lightbulb or nicked the idea from someone else.
I believe even Joseph Swann's work was based on Humphrey Davy's work.
James Watt, steam engines and after whom the Watt is named.
John Smith who began stratigraphy and mapped the rocks of England and Wales on horseback. A process now used to understand how the moon and other space spheres developed. Of course, it helps us find all those fossil fuels, metal ores, and minerals we need for our phones and computers.
Hooke who invented the microscope and then drew the microscopic structures he could see.
I believe it was Newton who said he achieved so much because he stood on the shoulders of other great men.
Women too, but their findings were often published by their brothers and passed off as their own, which perpetuated the belief that 'thinking' and 'female' were mutually incompatible. 😉

I was expecting Joseph Swan to be on there. He invented the lightbulb.
So how does a typical American identify an important person as being British? When reading an American publication, if the hero is American it will tell you which town and state he comes from. If it fails to mention where he comes from then he is British.
Tyler is atypical and below average.
You are the lowest of the low for that comment.theres no need for it.@@JoannDavi
Not necessarily he/she could be from any country on the planet. It's not just us and the Americans.
@@stephenhodgson3506
Tyler is a _he_ . He has a fraternal twin brother (Ryan Wuzer) and a wife, (according to Google), not a husband.
Dont forget Television (Logie Baird), Radar (Watson Watt)the Jet engine, (Frank Whittle) trains (George Stephenson), mass produced steel, stainless steel, the propeler, steel ships (Brunel), the hovercraft, (Christopher Cockrel) common law, longitude measurement, (John Harrison) Photography (Fox Talbot) The list goes on and on . Britain is second to the US in Nobel prize winners and a fraction of the population. whilst we invent and discover a lot we dont tend to shout about it or maximise the potential. America is so much better of exploiting potential which benefits all.
Stephen Hawking apparently also had a wonderful sense of humour.
His ashes buried in Westminster Abbey at the foot of Isaac Newton's grave, by his request. A simple black plaque on the floor representing (I assume) a black hole.
Alexander Fleming almost sounds familiar? Jesus. This guy makes other Americans seem informed.
I am genuinely surprised tht you have never heard of the 'Higgs Boson Particle', you probably wouldn't have learnt about it in High school since it is a relatively new discovery. However; I would suggest that it takes a USA level of news introspection to have NOT heard of it since. Try the BBC World Service for your default news feed and discover how much MORE is happening in the rest of the world.
FYI The Internet is the infrastructure (hardware, wiring, routers, switches and associated protocols) the World Wide Web is software that sits on top (just one of many different types of software that use that infrastructure...other examples include FTP, Email and many more).
