There are many who are famous for their massive impacts on the course of history, and yet there are perhaps more whose names are forgotten despite their tangible influence. Charles Hinton could be considered one of these figures, a man whose life work never quite achieved greatness, but whose efforts created a wake that would influence many of society's greats. From H. P. Lovecraft to Christopher Nolan, Hinton's impact on the world can still be felt generations later! Charles Hinton is most famous for his work popularizing the fourth dimension, however while today most physicists see the 4D axis as time, Hinton saw it as another dimension of space. His preferred method of dissemination were science fiction novels that he called, "scientific romances," a bold medium considering the genre was just in its infancy. While Hinton's life was cut short, his legacy lived on through his family, many of whom achieved great things in their lives including winning the Nobel Prize!
Did you know I hide a BlueJay penny in every video? See if you can find it!

My Bluejay Plush is defective. It trembles in fear, sobbing to itself on the shelf while constantly repeating, “I’ve lost my soul," whatever that means.
ty for the qr code in the corner made it easy to skip 😁
It really is scary out there and times are tough with no one to trust anyway looks interesting and always can't find the time.
Ive been watching does years and this was your best episode by a mile 👏 ❤
Best episode ever ❤
The more I hear about the lives of eccentric academics, the more I'm beginning to suspect the internet is in fact slowing human progress by giving them an outlet.
No replies? I’ll fix that
You're talking about BlueJay, aren't you
He could've made the dimensionist 4th jungle gym by now
Hello Mr cheese gammon
The internet is suppressing our insanity. If only there were unprotected, unwatched, electrical centers that would be so easy to drive a ram 1500 into. Hmm
Yeah! Take away BlueJays outlet, he's make the jungliest dimensionist 4thist gyms of all

Thats why there’s a sponsorship in the video.
It does kind of make me concerned how much he’s paid for his work just because RUclips is pissy about stuff, to be honest…
@@Nopadet And a Patreon account.
11:30 wow!
Thank you BlueJay for showing me this amazing Sonic-theory. Especially the 'Picture'-Tab on Google is really scientific. So scientific wow!
Indeed
Especially the one with Sonic trying to inflate to the 4th Dimension
LOL
@@Tardus-d5y how can I unread a comment
I first started watching BlueJay as a way to tide me over between Oversimplified uploads, but now his stuff has gotten so good that now I need to find some other cartoon based comical history lesson to tide me over between BlueJay videos 😂
KrakDuk? 🤷♂️
“Extra History”. Unlike Sam O nella, Oversimplified and Bkuejay. Extra history is actually a giant team which is how they upload soo frequently. But their content is really good. Not as funny as the other 3 but entertaining and enthusiastic
The Poopie show?
Well, lord knows a lot have popped up these last 12 months
I'm sure you know KrakDuk isn't history, unless you currently live in the 42nd Millenium that is

@@BlueJayYTI’ve seen what trauma that has brought on to Alex, while I’m honored… I will now run.

If you would, please.
Kata and Ana are actually derived from Katabasis and Anabasis, Greek terms meaning an upward/downward journey, as seen in myths like Orpheus.
Don‘t ruin the weeb joke tangent.
HOW DARE YOU USE FACTS AND LOGICS TO CONFUSE US 😠
They're also the names of sisters in Warioware.
Thank you for this knowledge, very cool. Makes sense if it's used in ideas such as underworlds (as with the Greek asphodel, Tartarus and Elysium.) since that could mean "up and down" between worlds which is what a 4th spacial dimension would end up being like. (Personally I believe the 4th spacial dimension is time itself which is why spacetime as one concept can bend, and we experience the 4th dimension only via our perpetual movement through it at a mostly constant rate that is only affected by our speed in the 3rd and lower dimensions and gravity which seems to affect all dimensions.)
kata is both a preposition and prefix that generally means "down" but also means a lot of other things metaphorically. Ana generally means up, but also has a ton of other meanings.
7:55 biblically accurate description of Naruto
Jeheh
"Sonic rule 3 4"
Cant believe i fell for that
May your eyeballs recover
How did you fall for that? I got it instantly, and I'm asexual!
I don't get it, and I'm afraid to look.
how did someone in 2025 fall for that
Never even heard of that sh*t before,
legit thought it was some scientific theory😂😂.
"When I go on an anime binge I won't tell anyone, but there will be signs" ahh video
I didn't expect that to get me, thank you for the spare lol

Thanks you for the wonderful and informative content as always 🔥
Thank you so much for the support!!
Plot twist alex is bluejay from the past before he got his omnipotent bird powers and Jay now is teaching him everything he needed to know to take over the world before losing his humanity to the bird gods
Shh, he will hear us.
Do you mean the blue bird... is real ?
Your comedy is getting exponentially better with every video. One of the best RUclips channels ever.
Hey BlueJay! Actually the words "Kata" and "Ana" are both ancient greek locutions used to express the passage of time: "kata" can be translated as "after" and "ana" as "before"
Daaaaam, them Greeks were weeba too?
I think one can tell that this was a full time project. Not just that it came (relatively) fast after the last one, the production value and the writing feels, idk how to describe, smooth.
2:44 As an El Pasoan, I'm happy we're immortalized in a throwaway joke for Blue Jay.
EL PASO MENTIONED 💪💪🌵 🌵 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🌵 🌵 👨🏽🔧👷♂️ WHAT THE HELL IS CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME???

3:30 is that DougDoug saying "WEEWOO" over and over?
100%
LMAOOOO I was about to comment the same thing
"Sonic rule 3 4" Bro this is your most unhinged video to date.
He married two women at the same time? So he basically tried to create his own harem, he really was a weeb.
Or a mormon
the japanese didn't invent that tho
And _then_ moved to japan.
@@th3g4mingexp3rt5Actual harems were hardcore. Anime harems are just a fetish thing. No judgment.
GREAT NEWS: Your comment got stolen by a sexbot, and now ha twice as many likes as yours :))
11:18 It makes me happy that there is a CVS at second and Girard
This bird being from Philly explains a lot.
I heard girard and was like THAT Girard?
Negligible, as a person living on Girard, I found it exceptionally funny. Like I do the fact that I am merely a few streets away from Mr. Blue Jay himself. Go Birds!
That was the strangest thing for me to hear out of nowhere, I live two blocks away…
I did an audio double take. Going to look at every blue jay a bit suspiciously now when I'm out
"Man, they grow up so fast when they don't know you're there"- BlueJay
E
That whole sexy jutsu feels like it was a long time ago. I didn't even read the series but it was so popular it still bled into conciousness.
11:34 that had me in tears. Blue Jay dropping bombs in his videos.
That's like a rickroll
But better
i almost googled it, even
@@darcy_the_cat6940 bruh
your videos always cheer me up XD
I’m glad I can help, thanks for the support!
Unlike most RUclips videos, I have to stop and watch carefully to catch every quip. Always worth a second watch. Thanks, Blue Jay, for making my day.
I never believed in love at first sight until I came across this dashing, charming, and poetically pleasing Blue Jay
3:46 this is why stories are better told by blue jay
He's incredible. @BlueJay, how your schtick manages to be so simultaneously consistent but still fresh boggles my mind. Like, even when I know immediately where the joke is going, how far you take the absurdity always catches me off guard and cracks me up.
Especially the Naruto joke.@@davidlight9229
11:25 This joke reminds me of that time when I was attending a lecture about Japan for reasons at my Uni and the lecturer mispronounced some Japanese word resulting in a term that only had meaning to several drawn fiction for adults enthusiasts in the audience, who all chucked at it. And from that point, everyone who knew instantly knew who else knew.
Were they by chance trying to describe a pair of individuals?
Edit: Actually, that would a very severe mispronunciation, rather than a more subtle and plausible one, but it's the only one I can think of that is drastic but somewhat esoteric.
What was the mispronunciation?
@@sirapple589It was years ago so I don't remember. Probably something simple like yuri or yaoi
That was certainly one of the ad transitions of all time.
@11:44 Wait a minute, sonic rule34 isnt math concepts at all!
Yes it is. There's lots of multiplication going on.
@@olipritchard8151 idk everyones got boy parts down there....

16:10 Being the clear inspiration for Shrimp from Smiling Friends lol😹
Blue Jay is on a hot streak as of late every video has been hilarious 😂
12:56 “imaginary technique, hollow baseball”
the bird posting on a holiday makes it twice as good
There is, in fact, a CVS at 2nd and Girard. This bird sure knows his Pennsyltucky cities.
Dude, the fucking quality on this shit is amazing. Hard work shines through.
"Because he was born british" LOL
Things that are a constant. Life death taxes and math

What about Little Caesars always having a $5 Hot and Ready Pizza when you walk through the door?
Math also changes every 100 years or so
Math is hardly consistent. Its
astrophysics that is consistent
@@RuddpocalypseI literally got a little caesar's commercial while watching this video.
My favorite bird ranting about a mathematician and with humor. I approve of this video👍
17:38 I think it's Iran this year.
would have lost my shit if that last sentence was Iran
“Iran” away from Bluejay when he tried to teach me.
Also US
@@phectoHow?
@@TheManWhoStoleTheShadowsI'll tell you the answer. Yes the US and from the inside and from the top down.
7:14 these sound like bastardizations of the ancient Greek words for down and up, respectively
Talking bird teaching history... PEAK education 🔥
One blue Jay video a day keeps the giant blue avian demigod at bay
Please do a video on James Lick! The man ran on spite, owned most of SF during the gold rush (and wanted to put in a full sized pyramid there), and nearly built a statue of liberty on the west coast for a tomb only convinced out of it b/c “it would be the first target in an invasion”
I got a selfie with his grave that’s underneath a pre-electricity hydraulic powered telescope
Probably most influential people in history went to influential schools and they got into because they had money and/or connections, that 's why if you search anyone that went to Oxford in the victorian era, probably they're connected to somebody famous or somewhat influential.
7:10 I just started learning Greek, but "Kata" and "Ana" has to be "Down" and "Up". Very creative and not redundant at all👍
Does it beat spinward and widdershins?
Couldve just gone with "strange" and "charm"
Behold, my new directions! We now have: Up, Down, Left, Right, Forwards, Backwards, Up and Down... wait... what?
The bird deity hath bring more neuron tickling. Rejoice!
That's one hell of a family tree
8:33 😂 Naruto 😂😂😂 it’s so deep though
Yes😂
6:00 Love that dandadan reference!
I was looking for this comment
i was gonna say, thats not the correct person to be excited about ghosts, but she wouldnt be excited about anything ghosts.
Wasn't expecting that sheer hilarious takedown of Naruto halfway into the vid but I ain't complaining, that was hilarious
"A weeb before Reddit" Amazing
Simply amazing.
I never knew that Naruto was actually written by H. P. Lovecraft, only for it to be rediscovered and taken credit by Masashi Kishimoto.
Blue Jay hates Naruto and Demon Slayer but loves JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? My kind of man.
We already knew Blue Jay was capable of having taste, this is no surprise.
ZA WORLD
I knew he was gay
WDYM? They’re both goated
I get having issues with Naruto, I personally like it but I do see it’s issues. But what’s wrong with Demon Slayers, minus the couples that dress as the sibling duo.
6:01 come on -ken-
Okay I know that’s a reference to an anime/manga but I forgot to the name of it.
@@NicoBabyman1DanDaDan
@TheVikingCarnotaur Thank you.
Never mention this name! :D
That there was the most accurate description of Naruto🤣🤣🤣 Best joke I've heard in a long while🤣
"It's peak trust" on Naruto has me dying...
Just when I needed pyschotic demigod bird the most, he delivers
I LOVE how much lore is just sprinkled into these history lessons, gives it just the right touch
4:00 also this bit cracked me up way more than it should've
Prayers to all the entomologists watching at 15:40 😞
Entomologists look for bugs in the real world, an etymologist look for bugs in their native language.
The fact that some people really don’t know the difference between entomology and etymology bugs me in ways I can’t put into words.
As an aspiring entomologist I appreciate that
I'd love to see a video about Franz Nopcsa, a Hungarian paleontologist who also worked as a spy in the Ottoman Empire, fought in an Albanian revolution, took part in anti-revolutionist groups and he was the first person to hijack an airplane
The day that BlueJay posts. Suddenly my PTSD doesnt scream so loud. Thanks man:)
Man, we both gotta get to therapy soon. Next week, I promise 😅
So not Alex then?
1:47 *looks away for one moment* FUCKIN EXCUSE ME????
it’s already all over my screen
One minute of silence for unfortunate kids who googled you know what
3:34 bro 😭 WHAT could they have possibly been doing
RUclips wasn't your full time before?? That makes the quality even more astounding.
BlueJay has great anime taste
YOUR INTROS ARE SO INTRICATE DUDE PLEASE NEVER STOP DOING THAT ITS THE BEST THING EVER
11:38 you’re a devious bastard
Lol. Sonic in 3D having difficulty seeing in 4D. Just as good as Sonic predicting the inflation.
New video 🥳 your channel is so amazing, thank you for the content ❤️
13:09 you are so unhinged.! 🤣 also., are you alright birdie.?! 🤨
An Etymologist studies the origins of words. An Entomologist studies insects.
A scholar studies semantics, a douche enforces them.
9:56 THE MOMENT YOU SAID IT MY BROWSER CRASHED. thanks, dude, very epic
Another glorious day to fear Bluejay
16:17 that tree branching makes it looks like Sebastion Hinto and Carmelita Hinton are siblings borned from Chatles and Mary 😅
10:27 - Trebuchets make everyting better!
The fact you snuck in a Sonic Rule 34 joke is absolutely hilarious😂😂 bravo
The intro is one of the most unhinged so far
I may not agree with you on everything, Blue Jay… but the fact that you have my rapt attention before even the 1:25 mark makes you one of my favorite RUclips edutainment sources
It’s 6am I’m saving this for tonight when I got a drink in my hand
I really was nervous - thanks :)
broo i always rewatch your videos you are so super good!!! love your content
The orbs still being just kids overall is hilarious 😂
12:14 Okay Hanar lol
always feels good to see Mordecai teach us stuff
Um, excuse me, did you just say "Jin-Raya"? I am filled with uncontrollable rage and disgust rn.
“Sonic Rule 34”… Jay out here casually emotionally scarring the entire audience😂
being a mathematician alone is already pretty wacky
made em get ports from the cvs? bro thats shot out😂😂😂😂😂
Was NOT expecting a bluejay drop
12:27 "I'll have the apple perhaps." 😆😆😆😆
9:00 to quote Calvin Klein:"i guess you arent ready for that yet but your kids are gonna love it"
This might be old to hear but I’ve never wanted a Sam O Nella x Bluejay collaboration more since this video
16:17 are we going to ignore that Joan Hinton only has two grandparents according to then diagram? Am I reading that very wrong?
I noticed as well, strange he didn't make a joke on it, given his other jokes
It looks like an error, according to the wiki Carmelita was born Carmelita Chase and was not in fact her husband's sister.
The Naruto rambling 😂😂
How dare you bring up math during summer break.
