    The ending is such a smart, perfect thing. The video starts with "Hey! You're on a rock floating in space" and then he goes to all lengths to describe what that rock is, how it was created and what happened to it... and then at the end the last sentence is "btw where the hell are we?" like now we know even less and are even more confused.

    While Colombus was mistaken in thinking it was the indies, he actually knew there was land around where the americas are. He studied the flotsam that was arriving on the coasts of Morroco, and calculated that it was a far bigger quantity than if there was nothing there. His explanation was that the world was smaller than people thought, and since the size of the world is relatively easy to calculate he was taken for an idiot, but he wasn't heading into the ocean without any idea of what he was doing.

      What other European explorers do you speak of that went before Columbus? I guess the Portuguese could have made trips back and forth, but if so, they do not seem to have told anyone. The Norse did not use the tradewinds or westerlies, as far as I know...their voyages were much more against the prevailing currents and winds, which is probably a big reason why they did not make repeat voyages.

      @blakec8549 Год назад +74

      @@iKvetch558 not many repeat voyages may have been attempted but we tend to underestimate how well known those voyages were back then. There is some evidence that those stories were being spread in Italy around the time Columbus was alive. Regardless, substantiating any histoical claim from that long ago is difficult because for every scrap of evidence that survived there is likely much much more that didn't. But I'll admit my biases here. I despise our celebration of Columbus and how our history ignores what kind of person he was. He may have had some expertise but clearly his calculations of the earths size was wrong. He was a brutal dude and even his own family despised him for his cruelty.

    I like that Bill Wurtz actually accurately marked where there were some tin deposits during his explanation of bronze. Tin is actually really uncommon compared to other metals, and in the Bronze Age there were only two major tin deposits big enough for the entire Bronze Age Civilization in the Near East: Britain, and Afghanistan.
    _Neither_ locations were a pleasant breeze to get to, mine tin, and come back, all while still alive.

      @@jokitalinda10 Very well could've been, but if it would've been depleted so quickly after the ability to work with it was developed then it wasn't very big and therefore wouldn't have been significant enough to go down in history like the other two.
      For example, Cyprus was the main supplier of tin for the Bronze Age Civilizations around the Eastern Mediterranean. It had a lot, but at the height of the Bronze Age it simply didn't have enough, hence the demand for tin from places as far away as Britain and Afghanistan.
      There were some small-time tin mines in places like Spain, but most mining done there was for silver, because Spain is (was) positively silver rich. Silver was so concentrated in Spain that when Carthage lost to Rome in the First Punic War, the Barcid dynasty went to Spain to conquer all the silver mines to pay off both their mercenaries AND the war reparations owed to Rome, and _still_ had enough money to be so rich they basically privately-funded their own campaigns during the Second Punic War.

    My absolute favorite part of this video, at least for me, is that due to its quick pace, even as a history lover, you may make connections between events that you previously thought bared no relevance to each other, if that makes sense. The simplified condensation of history allows you to see the through-line in the timeline you (or I should say I) previously never connected relevance between. As a history nerd, that is a level of geek out I’m embarrassed to admit. 😅 But as a lover of humor above even history/science/sociology/linguistics, I love this video for that alone.

    It's funny you mention the nuclear over coal or oil thing because that's actually pretty much the plotline for the Fallout games. Pre-war society was mostly based off nuclear energy, in Fallout, and it's depicted as an alternate timeline whose energy source deviated. You can find nuclear materials in everything from clocks to cars power cells in the games. The war was also a parallel of the Cold War, between China and the US in-game if I recall correctly.

      Yeah, it'd be dang near impossible because the materials and tools required to develop those power sources would require a more readily accessed power source to develop. Coal and oil are a lot easier to work with on industrial scales than wind or solar. You'd need to have already gone through an industrial revolution to even *get* nuclear power.

Instead Big Coal and Oil got their hooks into society. Now we are struggling to transition even though we have the technology and the knowledge.

    I mean, it’s true. Nuclear power is the cleanest form of energy we have. It really frustrates me when people say it isn’t.
    The only thing keeping nuclear energy from being entirely clean is the lack of technology for nuclear fusion. And even then, because of entropy it would take all the energy from fission to power the fusion. So it would be useless energy. Unless we got some crazy biproduct from it that created more energy.

    Honestly, you have to blast past a whole lot like Bill Wurtz to teach World History in a reasonable amount of time. It is _very_ easy to complain about other countries (Middle East, Africa, & Asia) not being covered, but don't seem to understand the sheer difficulty of having to restrict so much of what matters into a school year. And at the college level, it becomes contained within semesters (and into specific topics if wanting to go in-depth).
    One reason I believe people have so much difficulty trying to understand that humans evolved from monkeys is the sheer span of time that is involved.
    For example: Harrison Ruffin Tyler (born November 9, 1928 and currently still alive) is the grandson of John Tyler (March 29, 1790 - January 18, 1862), who served as the tenth president of the United States. Harrison Tyler is currently 94 years old.

      I think a good example to consider is Babbage's analytical engine. Entirely possible on paper, and way ahead of it's time(1837 versus commercial success of tabulating machines in 1924), but even with a massive budget. The tight machining tolerances required meant a lot of the work was rejected, and so the costs ballooned out of control.
      This impossible stopgap concept was actually something James Webb had to convince J.F.K. of. President Kennedy wanted to build a rocket to send men to the moon on what was basically a shoestring budget(by comparison to what ended up happening) with little to no oversight or trials.
      Plenty of people throughout history have tried to jump ahead of the curve, but there has to be the body of work to build off of, ex nihilo nihil fit. If someone tries to skip steps to reach a conclusion ahead of time they'll either find out someone else beat them to it, concurrent and forgotten discoveries are fairly common throughout history, or they might take the wrong approach and fall behind due to feasibility problems.
      There's another option too, they may be staunchly secretive and take their discovery to their grave like Leeuwenhoek and what should have been a hugely beneficial lens manufacturing technique. However he feared his work being considered derivative of Hooke's and chose secrecy instead of progress.

      Yeah. The actual amount of nuclear waste generated is tiny, and if we wanted to we could continue to harvest energy from the spent fuel in various other ways (such as RTGs and such.)
      I'm happy to hear that here in Ontario were expanding our nuclear generation capability again.

      The sad part is Japan isn't gifted for the natural disasters. They can have typhoons, earth quakes, and that is obviously strongly built inside their culture. It's understandable that given their nuclear history, they tend to avoid it.

    From their perspective, it was though:
    Holy -> because the Pope crowned the Emperor
    Roman -> because they saw themself as the Roman Empire 2.0
    Empire -> again because of the whole "Roman Empire 2.0"-thing. Also, their leader was an Emperor.
    Also, it's worth noteing that in Germany, it's called "Heiligies Roemisches Reich Deutscher Nation" with a "Reich" being an ambigious word that can refer to many different kind of realms including but not limited to dukedoms, kingdoms and, of course, empires. So it could also be translated as "Holy Roman Kingdom of the german nation".
