      He mentioned once he was part Finnish. That means he is part Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy and part Tyrannosaur from Jurrasic Park. That means he thinks if he stands perfectly still and quiet he is invisible to all people😅

    THIS is truly my favorite account on RUclips. Nobody else does anything like Nick and it's a privilege to get access to his superb videos. THIS is what the internet was meant to be used for. THIS is the kind of knowledge that deserves to be shared online. THIS is the enrichment of the human condition we were promised with the information superhighway. You are a spark in the void and this enlightenment is invaluable to those of us lucky enough to have found you, Nick.

    This series has been so enlightening, and really puts Galileo into clearer focus as a man, not just as a myth, in my mind. Thank you for dispelling me of so many half lies and shorthands, I really do feel like I've learned a lot and my prospective about Galileo, and more broadly science as a whole, has changed for the better.

    Awesome video, as usual. You bring these abstracted historical scientists to life with all the TMZ-style celebrity drama you would expect when talking about real human beings who lived on this Earth. It's so easy to forget this fact. But here you are, giving us all these delightfully salacious little details. I love it!

    Bravo! 🌟 I especially loved your final analysis of Galileo. That’s one of the reasons why we remember him, he was a fascinating character, a fertile ground for legend. He may not have said “Eppur si muove” but it’s so satisfying to believe he thought it.
    Ornery characters like Newton get rewarded with fame. Meanwhile, unfortunately, nice guys like Halley get paid in books about fish. (I love that anecdote of yours!)

    I'm going to have to rewatch the series. Probably several times. Its alot to unpack. Its difficult for me as well to struggle with people supporting obviously incorrect ideas and manners. And the ways which people will stoop to when they are in the wrong. It has drug me down. Over the years rewatching everything on this channel many many times, I have tried to keep perspective. The truth of history is so much different then how we are taught ... a real failing there. ...

    Parallax Nick, have enjoyed your series on Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo. As someone who has read extensively on those early "scientists", I'm especially impressed by you mentioning (admitting) that no one quite understands how Galileo became a Copernican. Protestant Kepler, yes, but Italian Galileo? Mysterious.

    There are probably very few people, if any, that have more knowledge about Galileo off the top of their head than you at the moment. Thank you for yet another excellent video with amazing production values.
    Also, wow, 37k followers? You're starting to shoot up. So great to see you finally starting to get some of the recognition you absolutely deserve. I don't know what mic you currently use, but even a Blue Yeti has USB plug in and would be a not too expensive way to really improve the sound quality on your videos. Although I'll be honest, it'll likely be weird hearing you in high quality compared to the college project video essay type quality you currently have.
    Oh, it looks like Logitech bought Blue and are going to stop the product line, but you should be able to find one for about $120 or less USD, brand new, as the news only really dropped yesterday. I used the mic for my streaming, and I never had an issue with the quality.

  • @MusicalRaichu
    @MusicalRaichu Год назад

    I think that Galileo is the father of *modern* science because of his emphasis on mathematical quantitative rather than verbal qualitative description of physical laws.
    On another channel I've heard that Aristotle was the father of science and that Aristotle would have agreed with Galileo based on the new information that Galileo had that Aristotle lacked. Maybe you could explore Aristotle and his take on physics next?
