Biographics episode on Terry Fox?
The Marquis de Sade Please
"'The Greatest Compilation' was shortened to 'The Greatest', and later on just 'The'"
Makes about as much sense as Copernicus being a time traveller who somehow knew what was going to happen to Gallileo in a hundred years time.
@@SplotchTheCatThing Nothing "happened" to gallileo..
@@alangervasis I think you give me far too much credit, sir.
With this implied concept of yours that I should have any idea what the me of two years ago was talking about ;)
"Copernicus called....turns out you're not the center of the universe!" --Frasier Crane
So many great quips from that show, especially between Frasier and Niles.
@@MrVvulf It's my favorite sitcom. 😜👍🏻
Nice... gotta remember that.
Literally the first joke I thought of 😆
@@lb19830 It makes a nice addition to any quiver of snappy comebacks!🏹🏹🏹🏹
Girlfriend: You think the whole world revolves around you don't you?
Copernicus: Actually....
I just got irrationally excited when I saw this in my feed. I think I may have a Biographics problem...
Wingy ohh I think we all do!!
Would be worse if you had an identity crisis.
he makes people so interesting
Can you please do Christiaan Huygens as well? The guy that invented the microscope, discovered microbes and theorized alien life and space travel while having a dad who was BFF's with all famous scientists of that time all in the 1600s.
Loktar ogar
Weren't microbes discovered by Huygen's contemporary countryman Antonie van Leeuwenhoek? Nevertheless, I completely agree that Huygens certainly deserves a video, for he surely is one of the greatest scientists of all time, with groundbreaking contributions in various areas of science.
@@pekkokuopanportti6859 Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was his lense cutter and a damn good one at that. Most of the stuff Huygens created was made by him, but Huygens was always responsible for the designs. Leeuwenhoek did indeed see the microbes first because he was testing the lens, but Huygens further studied and documented them.
To lesser degree, Carl Zeiss.
No
A Polish man says thank you, Simon!
Copernicus was born like an hour away from where I'm from. He was a canon in Frombork, a minor cleric most likely.
Shut it, nerd.
Ignore the tard(igrade)
Is there a memorial to him at his birthplace?
@@scottplumer3668 Of course. The home where he was born is now a museum.
He was Polish .
Everything about this channel is amazing. I really enjoy the detailed accounts of people I've heard of but really love learning about the ones I had no clue existed. This channel is truly a gem. Thank you.
Well thanks for saying so. Glad you enjoy it :)
Loving the recent break from WW2 personalities and the videos on scientists are my favorite!

An amazing biography. My perspective of a person is rarely upended when watching biographies because I know some sketches of someone’s life but Copernicus and his work has always been a back drop to Galileo and his more famous life and fight with the papacy. But here we are, a wealthy busy statesman with science as a hobby caused a scientific revolution. Thank you.
Far more impressive was Aryabatha the Elder. In 400 AD he wrote that while the Moon orbited the Earth, the Earth and the other planets orbited the Sun. He argued that the light from the Moon and the plants was reflected sunlight, and (eat your heart out Kepler) he asserted that the orbits were ellipses (not circles).
The book was also one of the most important in mathematics (e.g. from it the Arabs learned the Hindu concept of zero and decimal representing system).
Wow. I need to know more about this man. Thanks.
If he wasn't white, it didn't happen. Only white people and their findings matter.
If that's true he should be venerated
Unfortunately Simon didn't mention that heliocentrism existed way before Copernicus (f.ex. Aristarchus of Samos make such hypotheses). But he was the first one who proved it using math and created whole system based on these calculations. That's why he is remembered.
Love watching these videos, especially when they are about these amazing scientists and philosophers
Thank you for being the first person I have ever heard to mention Ptolemy of Alexandria and immediately clarify that he was not related to the Ptolemaic dynasty. Someone has had to ask that question in every ancient history class I have ever sat in.
bruh
More astronomers please ❤️ Tycho Brahe, Halley etc
I'd like to support your demand, Tycho Brahe, Halley and Johan Kepler etc...
Dude's legit named Bruh (Brahe)
I'd like to congratulate Radu Alexander on another fantastically written script, keep up the good work guys!
Thank you.
No.
I'd love to see a Biographics on William Herschel. Disco ered the Electromagnetic Spectrum, Uranus, built and designed telescopes, and the man wrote symphonies!
Another great vid xxx thanks for all the hard work
Was about to go to sleep. Notification looks like I’m not going to sleep just yet ! Keep up the good work.
Excellent video as always! I think it would be great if you did a video on the Brönte sisters, with special attention paid to Anne, since she is often neglected in historical literature
That is very well researched biographical information. Great job! Greetings from London, and thank you🙋🏼♀️
Thanks for video! Love from Toruń!
You should do one on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. One of the most intelligent and interesting people who's still not well known by everyone.
Another great episode! Thanks so much!
just the right time thanks again!
Atilla the Hun when?(also love just how often these vids come out)
Why can't I get enough of these stories. Biographics, Geographics, Top Tenz, it doesn't matter. I am hooked.
Thanks for the episode.
Always love your videos!
Such an influential man and a story well told!
Great video, Thanks a lot!!!
Good video! Copernicus was such a pivotal scholar in human history. Although he was never ordained a priest, had had been tonsured and was a cleric in minor orders. At that time, many "church men" had not received the Sacrament of Holy Orders (deacon, priest or bishop) but were "minor clerics" and men of faith simultaneously being teachers, lawyers, doctors, Cardinals, etc. In any case, Copernicus was very prudent and astute in the way he did things.
It was hard before Darwinian evolution not to be somewhat religious. And completely mad to be afterwards.
No.
@@uncoiledfish2561No.
5:55 On the contrary, it is perfectly clear: he was once appointed the head of the Diocesan Court of Law ("Oficjał" Sądu Biskupiego). Only priests can be appointed to this particular position. With no exceptions. We just do not have surviving documents confirming his priestly ordination. And that's basically it. The rest is having your good uncle as the Prince-Bishop of Warmia. You can do whatever you want. Uncle will pay for everything.
Simon, thank you sooooo much for your videos. Would you do one on Emiliano Zapata? Or the Mexican revolutionaries ,maybe Morelos or Hidalgo
Geographics video and a biographics video on the same day? Yes, please
Good presentation!
Thank you very much for clearing up the misconception about Claudius Ptolemy. I (and mot people) assumed that Ptolemy the astronomer was a member of the Ptolemyic Dynasty. Thank you for teaching me something new,
Love these science videos
Heh, I was i Kopernik's house last weekend. Didn't expect to see his biography here, only a few days later. Cheers.
Don't worry about mispronunciations, we're used to it and forgave you long ago.;)
Thanks for the video! Just wonder could you do Commodus & Marcus Aurelius by any chance? Thanks
Hi new editor, welcome to the team!!
good work
Great video as always! Tycho Brea and Johannes Kepler sometime please!
Love the videos. Can i make a request? Could you cover Mark "Chopper" Read?
Next: JOHANNES KEPLER!!!! 🌍
Please & Thank You!!! ❤
One of the world's first science fiction writers :D "Somnium", published in 1634. Those who disagree will have to fight the ghosts of Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan who also believe it to be one of the earliest works of science fiction.
But seriously, a biography of Kepler would be very welcome.
1:31 i like that jingle
Wow... you guys have been super busy this week!
this is awesome!
What about Hypatia of Alexandria
My son just happened to be doing a report about Copernicus at school and watched your video, gaining a few insight that he had not found in research.
Tycho Brahe would be quite interesting.
I friggin love this guy. He gives me all the tools necessary to combat the rampant pseudo intellectualism that's been poisoning my local watering hole. Keep it coming!! Also Brain food!!
You know Fred in your objective reality does water conform to the exterior of objects, or does it when it is in it's liquid form find its lowest point be level on top and conform to the interior of an object ? See because that is the only way I've ever seen water behave in it's liquid form and when at rest, if you have any examples of it doing something other than that please tell me.
@@occupiedaustralia9952
Oh dear God... Not you too!!!
A stickler's note: Studying the Arts is not surprising at all at the time (and has nothing to do with studying "Art" as in art history or something like that). Everyone had to study the "seven liberal (free) arts" before attending the higher studies (law, medicine, theology). It was like general undergraduate studies to ensure people had the skills to absorb the higher learning.
The greatest compilation: all the greatest hits on two cds! 😄
Simon, you fucking rock. Don’t ever stop making videos.
WHAT.....Latin isnt your first language? Im Shocked :D lol
It must be said: the Renaissance period produced some genuine heroes, like this one!
Unfortunately, it's kind of sinusoidal fate.Up then down and up..and so on. Copernicus was lucky with his theories in this particular times.Polish king Zygmunt Stary was very tolerant , wise and ''cosmopolitan'' person. When he received a letter from Vatican,which criticized works of Copernicus and demands for reacting ,he just said:I'm king of Poles ,but I'm not king of they hearts. He ,in fact ,was kind a security. In that times in Poland was lived A lot of Jews , Muslims and Protestants. All of those minorities was protected by Polish Crown and Polish king was last person to disturbed that state. Even if Pope himself was unhappy.
Can you please do a biography of yourself at one million subscribers?
I think he already said he wouldn't do one on himself.
Timothy Mentzer damn it!
BRILLIANT would not like to sponsor it.
@@feraudyh Yes
@@rexfulgur8588 You can find a lot about the gentleman if you just use Google appropriately. If I were him I would try and stay out of the limelight, given that he has said quite negative things about people with power and influence.
20:08. Anyone else hear the lingering sound? Like he just started recording and couldn't wait half a second...
Simon, could y’all possibly have an episode on Paul Anderson? He’s become one of the biggest inspirations to strongmen across the planet.
Copernicus was wrong. I learned from the TV show SeaQuest that the center of the universe is me.
Any plans on covering any of the reformers? Calvin, Beza, Zwingli?
It's nice to see your hometown in a yt video xD 4:17 is a shot of Olsztyn's Old Town
I really like this one! Could you please make one on Audry Hepburn? She lived in Arnhem, The Netherlands during WorldWar2. Her mother was a Hitler supporter around 1935. After the war she moved to Hollywood and became an legendary style icon and moviestar.
No.
Hit that bell ??
Only bell connected to this is Simon. 😂😂😂😂😂
Love the channels. ❤❤
17:20 wow Simon working on his ventriloquist routine there huh...
Great video, Simon (and team)! When are we seeing a video on one of the humblest and extraordinary human beings, Nelson Mandela?
Nailed it beard master Simon senpai--
I wish you had a podcast ❤️
Any chance you’ll do one on Puyi or Nurhaci? I will help with the research.
Oh and Emilio Aguinaldo, I got engaged to a Filipina so I have studied him a lot recently.
Thank you
I love your accent. Is it real, or do you put it on for videos? It sounds so cool.
You should cover Józef Piłsudski
A biography of Andreas Vesalius too, please!
super thx lots !!
I really have to express an almost reluctant, but profoundly sincere expression of admiration for your work. Your dogged commitment to sticking with the best-known facts, which you then wrap a solid; colourful; and wonderfully articulate narrative around, brings a sense of reliability and depth to your videos that really has no match. I invariably feel like I know the subjects far far better when your videos are over than I did before they started. Because some of your subjects are deeply controversial or divisive individuals (Trump for example) I'm really quite blown away at the absence of bias, something that is clearly evident when I encounter it in myself and wish you would just go ahead and show just a little bit of it. But no, you are the consummate professional, so when you offer criticism of a particular person, there can be little doubt that the facts provide incontrovertible support of it. Fantastic Channel.
awesome report! Honestly the best comment i read on a video
Thank you. I asked for more biographics on scientists famous and not so famous not more than an hour ago. I love you guys. Please keep on peppering your content with scientists.
Hmm I wonder are they always this fast with requests 🤔
Please cover The Marquis de Sade... thank you :)
Please do one on the John Churchill the 1st Duke of Marlborough
*Charles Boyle's voice*: "Ni-ko-laj !"
*patiently waiting for a Bernard Montgomery biographic*
Another vid I didn't know I needed to view.
It sounds like Copernicus was a polyglot, fluent in several languages. I admire him for that.
The Ancient Sumerians believed in a heliocentric solar system 🧐
17:18 nice save on the date.
JIMMY PAGE NEXT PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!
good vid
Saw a video from you, from 3 years ago without a beard and glasses. Definitely keep that beard my guy, it fits you well😂👍
I actually suggested Nicolaus Copernicus in a poll Biographics did a little while back. I didn't read all of the other suggestions but I didn't see Copernicus in there as I scrolled through them. I wonder if I had an impact on the channel choosing to do one on him.
One about Jan Heweliusz ?
Keep up the good work. I’d love to hear about “George Coles” first premier of Prince Edward Island , father of Canadian Confederation. Freed the PEI serfs. In the end had his house and all his business burned to the ground and his name disgraced .
Might have mentioned ancient Greeks had already figure out the heliocentric model prior to Ptolemy
Can you do one on Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus?
Can you do the characters from boardwalk empire, like Arnold Rothstien, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano?
Also Rod Serling.
You're butchering polish city names, that's hilarious :D keep up the good work!
That's the music of the top 10 scares 6:17
It turns out that Copernicus was entirely wrong - and that Tycho Brahe was (almost) entirely right. The 2nd edition of my book ("The TYCHOS - Our Geoaxial Binary System") is now freely acessible online.
Awesome.
Aristarchus of Samos had discovered,formulated and elaborated the heliocentric model 1800 years before Copernicus FYI.
Could you possibly do a video on the dictator, trujilo?
