Kathy, I have an MS in Electrical Engineering, and a love for history. You have something really special here...I'm very sad that RUclips didn't show you to me much, much sooner! Your ability to communicate compelling stories with such clarity and concision is wonderful. After my first video, I enthusiastically hit "Subscribe"!!
I agree, I'm an electronic and history buff , Kathy is filling a wonderful void, and correcting traditional myths is always a blessing, so educational :-)
It touched me deeply to learn how close Faraday, one of my science heroes, was to end up in …being a nobody. Imagine all the decades of further development we had lost without his 'lucky coincidences'. Where were we now? Would anyone have invented a radio? …and try to imagine what we did actually lose (or could have achieved) with all the other -lost- geniuses who weren’t that lucky. There must have been thousands of them…
Even though these topics are well known to me, you manage to add something novel in every episode that I was unaware of or maybe only dimly aware. Furthermore you do this in just a few minutes. Brava! So concise and yet so fascinating.
Of all the people that I’ve researched in the history of science and it’s probably up to 200 or so now, faraday might be my favorite (although Ernest Rutherford, Percy Spencer, Hertha Aryton, Max Planck and Lise Meitner are up there). I would love a good movie about him and love even more to write a good movie about him. Life goals.
I stumbled upon your series a few weeks ago and before I knew it two hours had passed. After finding out a few things about Tesla that I thought were true really were not I couldn't pull myself away. Very well presented materials and inspiration for some further research into history. Thank you for taking the time to make your series.
Kathy I am a huge history buff, your channel has reignited my passion in the sciences and is encouraging me to be inquisitive and attempt to recreate experiments with my young son... Thank you.
He worked as an apprentice book binder not delivering books. I am always amazed that when people take about Faraday is they ignore his early work on electrolysis. The unit of capacitors is named after him.
Kathy fails to mention that Faraday invented the most important theoretical concept in physics that still is the center of modern quantum physics. It is the concept of fields.
Another good one, thanks. When I was young I used to go to the RI Christmas lectures every year, and once I was allowed to see Faraday's lab in the basement. Some of his electromagnets were still there.
From some very bizarre personal experiences, I am going to say something that may be seen as crazy: The "luck" that Faraday had may not have been so. It is, from my experiences, very possible that "something" (I have no idea what though I have a theory from educated guesses) used Faraday to perform some desired action, with the "luck" being either side-effects or, hard to understand, the actual desired result. From my experiences, this "thing" is OCD to the max: "No job to big, no job to small, to get what I want I will do them all", no matter how strange the results of these actions had on me or those around me, for good or bad (and some of these actions and results have been actual "X-Files"-level events). The really crazy thing is that I am not doing anything as important as Faraday, but just a hobby on "Armor and Ordnance in the Age of Ironclads" where things have been inconceivably lucky as to what I was able to obtain: How about the person in charge of the ENTIRE US NAVY WWII AND AFTER STUDY OF ARMOR AND GUN PROJECTILES TO PUNCH HOLES IN IT, GIVING ME >ALL< OF HIS PERSONAL FILES AND >ALL< OF THE REPORTS HE CREATED IN HIS ANALYSIS OF THEM, INCLUDING BY HIS ENTIRE DIVISION AT THE US NAVAL PROVING GROUND, DAHLGREN, VIRGINIA? No crazy movie plot can be more impossible than the things like that WHICH ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME! So I note each event talked about in this video and have equivalents that happened to me, too. This thing, whatever it is, is a highly-experienced expert in such things, obviously, but it never tells what it is trying to do or why or how and the strange things simply "fall out of the sky" with usually zero warning.
@ Nathan Yes . Keep up your investigations into this question . Only those who have actually experienced it will believe it ! There is much that we cannot fully grasp. 🇬🇧 !
Dear mam, Having been following your channel for last 2 years.i really wish I had your channel back when I was in school. Oh how much more i would have gained from you! Thanks you for your channel. Please continue with your work and please upload more videos.😊
So excited to have found you! I absolutely love your enthusiasm! That you have so few followers is appalling!….There are many educated people. There are many intelligent people. But there are very very few geniuses….curiosity + A RATIONAL IMAGINATION + intelligence = GENIUS….Imagination is the ability to think with images (pictures) as apposed to words or language. It matters not how intelligent or educated one might be, lacking imagination one cannot venture outside the box where all new ideas and understanding are to be found. Quoting Leonardo da Vinci, "There are those that see. There are those that see when shown. And there are those that don’t see." The geniuses are the figure-it ouster’s. The rest of us are the learner-doers. But for the figure-it-outers the leaner-doers would have nothing to learn and nothing to do. Sad to say but many potential geniuses are lost to us because they lack academic skills because they are ADD or dyslexic. They are marginalized because they are said to be slow learners when many of them are blessed with imagination. It is understood by many that Einstein was ADD. Faraday lacked a formal education. Even so, that he was a genius is undeniable. This why Faraday is my all time very favorite hero…I think that his biggest contribution to science was that he was the first to realize that there such things a fields as as mentioned in his lecture at the Royal Institute…..Many thanks Kathy.
Reading Carlo Rovelli's book ❤️ Reality is not what it seems ❤️ and watching your lectures, science become more and more alive for me like never before. Love from 🇮🇳
I honestly think it’s the other way around, that Maxwell was lucky to a found Faraday because Maxwell wouldn’t of made his equations without reading Faraday according to … Maxwell. It’s amazing to think about all the tiny little things that could’ve changed in the past which would’ve radically changed our lives today.
@@Kathy_Loves_Physics Good point!! It is amazing when you think about it how all the stars had to be aligned in that era and how today we are lucky to have had these great men :)
I have to agree with Kathy here. His notion of "lines of force" was uncommonly acute and his genius for electricity seems to have been so highly developed precisely because he relied so heavily on experimental observation and unpretentious speculation (which, because of his background, was completely devoid of any high theory); and in the end, Maxwell came to the rescue anyway! He really was the right person in the right place at the right time for the job.
solarwonder sounds fascinating. I also find that different historical periods try to mold people into different themes that they think are inspiring. Of course, it is hard not to find Faraday inspiring IMHO
very much compared fraday to franklin, both raised in another family. it almost sounded like they were being groomed for success too. i could look up that book title if anyone wanted to know. the book was published somewhere between 1880 an 1920
@@Kathy_Loves_Physics the book was called Lives of poor boys who became famous, by Sarah K. Bolton. a link to the chapter babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hwt6z9&view=1up&seq=118
I read the book about Davy called “The Mercurial Chemist” interesting how Davy discovered sodium and potassium a few days later. Faraday put wires in a pool of mercury with a magnet floating in it. The magnet rotated when a current was applied and was a precurser to the electric motor. I was told his experiments with mercury added to his eventual demise. No sure how true that is.
It was not exactly luck as i undertand it. He was fortunate in his background & in living in London. Once he regarded books as Holy from his Bible revered & the only book he had he was always going to be fascinated by a book shop. Such an appreciative lively mind was always going to attract the book shop owner. Then scientists were always going to come into this shop. Then the lectures he heard copied down by his hand with wonderful illustraians were always going to attract top scientists & such scientists were always going to sometimes fall out with their helpers so need replacements. And so flattering to have their lectures copied so wonderfully. His mind did the rest. It wss almost inevitable given the place the man & the circumstances.
I would encourage anybody interested in science to obtain and read Michael Faraday's book 'The Anatomy of A Candle Flame'. It gives the text of three children's lectures he gave at the Scientific Institute. The logical progression of experiments and thought is stunning.
Davy's wife Jane Apreece Davy, was classist and her behavior wasn't excusable. In her defense however, she had married a hot famous superstar and he was always busy with the work that made him famous. She got a once in anyone's lifetime opportunity to go off with him to tour Europe. They couldn't bring the usual entourage but were allowed a valet. However the valet wasn't invisible like he was supposed to be, he was soaking in all the knowledge he could. She didn't have her husband to herself and her opportunity to shine was supposed to be social events but the valet wanted to be the right hand man. Imagine you are the new husband of Jean Harlow and she is finally traveling with you & free from any shooting schedule. Her personal assistant who is supposed to make the trip go smoothly is Marilyn Monroe or Madonna. She is trying to learn how to be a star and is constantly in the spotlight with your new wife. You get 3rd place. You'd be bummed.
Thanks for your fascinating historical talks on science. I am curious though as to why you said that one of the few advantages that Faraday had was that he was "white". You would have had trouble finding anyone who was not white in London in those days when all levels of society were "white".
I am a huge huge huge fan of Faraday but a guy with no connections and no money and no education becoming a famous scientist does involve a whole bunch of luck. But then he took that opportunity and changed the world.
1:12 i think you mean arithmetics, rather than algebra? 🤔 1:36 huh, i thought the UK had a 6-day workweek in the early 19th century (keep the 7th day holy, and all that)... but i guess not for everyone.
Love your talks and always give you a thumbs up. But... how is being "white and Christian" an advantage when _everyone_ is white and Christian? "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Applying your logic : you are in YOUR position because you are white ?

The one thing you absolutely know is that if he wasn’t brilliant and insightful he would have made it.

Having a theme song that just repeats the same word over and over at the beginning and end of your video is extremely annoying.
