A New Box for Isaac Newton (feat. Adam Savage) - Objectivity 275 

As the saying goes, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary death mask box.

i can just imagine in like 200 years time someone doing an isaac newton documentary with the death mask included and talking about how the box was created by the great engineer adam savage

I honestly think Keith was a little sad to see his box usurped.

The smile of Adam Savage is incredible, looks like a 5 years old that knows he did good.

Gotta be a very proud moment for Adam to have something he made in the Royal Society vaults.

From blowing up a cement truck, to creating a bomb proof housing for Isaac Newton. That is a journey.

with these sorts of specially-designed things, there's two options: it either lasts 11 weeks because of a critical design flaw, or it lasts 11 centuries because by then the box itself would need special conservation

This was amazing. I have been following Objectivity for years and now seeing a new object is being added to the collection feels special

In 10.000 years, some dude will earn his PhD researching this whole story 😂

This video really feels like a piece of history. I'm sure in decades and hopefully centuries to come, this box will be displayed as the final resting place of Isaac Newton's likeness. How amazing for Adam!

Now I would like to know more about the container that was used BEFORE Keith’s temporary box.

Most satisfying "reboxing" video on the internet.

Adam Savage is one of those guys whom everyone loves. How could you *_not?_* He's incredibly humble and always willing to share the knowledge he's amassed over his past 30 years working in special effects.

The previous box should be kept as an historical piece as well. To have Newton's death mask's former home just shredded and tossed aside seems so callous.

Oh, the grin on Adam's face is priceless.

This is, without question, one of the coolest things Adam has ever done. Bravo Sir!

Rupert is great, I don't want to minimize that, but finally getting to see Adam and Keith together is just want I wanted when watching the other Adam videos. Glad we got to experience it! Will Adam have another crack at the white gloves of destiny?

The snaps of the latches at the end were so satisfying. I don't know it for a fact, but I'm 100% certain Adam feels the same way.

Adam can hardly contain himself. Ever the professional but still like a kid in a candy shop. And he's so proud of his work that's clear. Well worthy of Sir Isaac Newton's Death Mask

Now the temporary box has become a relic itself. We need a box for the box now.

I’m curious about what caused Keith to replace the old old box when he made the cardboard one and what were the features of the old old box

Don't worry, Brady - I'll bet your video love-letter archive of this collection will become a prized part of the library once you're beyond the mortal coil.

Now Adam has made something that will truly live forever. What an honor and gift!

I didn't watch the build video, yet, so maybe it was mentioned then, but not only is his box forever enshrined in the royal society, but Adam Savage actually got to build something for Isaac Newton, ,even though it is a few hundred years posthumous. Not many people living today, outside of the librarians and archivists at the Royal Society, can say they did something to serve Isaac Newton himself.

Brady's Twin Peaks shirt is pretty great.

That clicking sound as the lid is secured...

i feel we now need a new sturdy box to preserve the temporary box

Keith defending his box was sweet. I hope he signed it and gave it to Adam.

I love how Keith keeps defending his original cardstock box.

As beautiful as this box is, the most beautiful aspect of it is the spirit of community that created it❤️

I’m imaging a future version of Objectivity in 100 or 200 years mentioning Adam in passing when reviewing this mask

"Hand autographed by Adam Savage in Isaac Newton's signature." Something about that, both as a sentence and a concept, tickles me pink.

5:00 Best comeback ever

Incredible experience and work!

Fantastic video!

Grey color is a nice homage to the previous box!

Before Brady pointed it out, I was thinking that now Adam Savage has become part of the history of Isaac Newton's death mask. I mean, I hope that Adam's other work also passes the test of time, but I'm pretty sure there will be annotations and records stating that "Between 2023 and 2XXX the death mask of Isacc Newton was kept in a box constructed by Adam Savage, using inert materials to better preserve the mask". Everyone's actions will echo through time of course, no matter how mundane, but it's truly special when you become involved in something as unique and historically relevant as this.

great episode, loved it.

I knew that Brady should have been there after watching Adam hand it over on Tested! Unadulterated bliss.

Adam should defenetly be considered as an member of the royal society. He has done so much for getting the sciences to the general masses and to the younger generations, for many, many years.

If I learned anything over the years it's that "temporary" solutions have this annoying tendency of becoming permanent over time. :P

In a hundred year they will have to make a new box for Isaac and an archival box to keep the precious Adam savage artifact in.

Fine job!!

I ADORE the crossover between two of my favorite RU-vid channels. So happy. 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

I hope Keith's box was archived with the new one and the mask. The entire history of how this mask went from a rotten cardboard box to Keith's box to Adam's archival container is tied to the mask's own history at this point. People would definitely want to know what Keith's box looked like if they were told Adam was a newer version. Like, I personally wonder what the box Keith got rid of looked like

As soon as he started talking about the box with Adam there you just know what was gonna happen

what a wonderful thing Adam made and he did it for the love of building things

"nothing acidic, right?" "Yeah, nah, just engraved the thing with ferric chloride"

What an honor! Thats amazing.

What a lovely gift! Great work :)

Instead of eBay, keep the original box next to the metal one. Then give it its own card in the card catalog. In 100 years when someone does a White Glove of Destiny, the card will just say, "Keith's box, empty. 2023" They'll be disappointed or not understand. They'll have to go to the digital archives and find their local copy of this video (because RU-vid won't exist anymore) to understand what Keith's box is.

Death Mask in Keith's handwriting... that's gonna be the name/logo for my next Metal band.🤘🏻

This box will most likely be its forever home. I wonder if anyone in the distant future will be watching this video and reading the comments.

Was waiting to hear a 'snap' when he closed the lid, of the nose being broken.

I love that most of us watched him make this

I bet that box could protect that mask for the next 500 years

@tested That has got to feel amazing that you have achieved such a marvelous stature, that you got to make Sir Isaac Newton's death mask box. It will live forever now!

Congrats!!!!

What a beautiful box!

Well done Adam! 👍🏻

I believe that's the rare human quality of respect. Well done Adam ✌️❤️🇳🇿

The vampires at the Royal society are draining your life force Adam! Quick, kitbash something together to fend them off! In all seriousness though love the work you put in and always a joy to see you being what you love. Looking forward to tell this one to the great grandchildren.

My old physics teacher used to say, that temporary solutions are often most lasting ;-)

This is so exciting I love it so much!

There's something incredibly endearing about the fact that even an extremely important historical archive has moments where they just go, "eh, that'll do." Though, at the same time, I'm slightly concerned that it might be a common phenomenon.

I'm sure that there must be some really really precious things in the Royal Society that can be stored in that cardboard box

Now to make a “Jack in the box” version for the Digital Scan.

Does Keith know the Royal Society was in Cats 2019?? Im pretty sure thats the exterior of the building during Bustofer Jones, and theres the painting of Sir Isaac Newton inside

Absolutely brilliant! QUESTION: Is there any chance to get the 3D data for private use? It would be awesome to print and display these item at home and the size seems manageable on a regular 3D-printer?!

I hope someone keeps the old box. It's history now.

Keth is really awesome. Great sense of humour!!!

Is it just me, or does anyone else think there is more than a passing resemblance between Isaac Newton and Brady?

so amazing to see this episode! all three guys are fantastic.

Holy crap! Brady looks waaaay different.

You know if you shaved Brady and put a powdered wig on him...

Now that box needs its own asset tag...thanks for sharing, good on you Adam. Charles

I think Adam really liked the idea of being a part of the Royal Societys Collection in this fun little way

Congratulations on getting something you made into the Royal Society!!! (Technically)

I have to ask... who kept the old box? We need to know! 😄

Keith is such a captivating person.

Amazing! Very cool collaboration. It's fun to think how many irreplaceable items might be contained in simple cardboard boxes.

This video made my Grinch heart grow 3 sizes. It's been a pure delight to watch Brady's career develop over the years since the earliest days of PTOV. Brady is a good human. And, now, to see him having the likes of Adam Savage as a playmate?!? *happy sigh* The best of my geeky worlds keep colliding! side note: I can't be the only one who has a crush on Keith, right? Because, I have a massive crush on Keith (with all due respect and apologies to his significant other).

That oh so satisfying >snapt< sound of the closures... Just delicious.

Adam Savage. Who knew he could protect things as well as he destroyed them?

I think Newton and Cody kind of favor each other a bit, like they might be on different branches of the same family tree. Not saying they are. I just think it's an interesting possibility.

Seems like you need another box to protect the Adam-box. .

Well, now the Royal Society has a genuine Adam Savage item in it. Movin up in the world 😉

If saw the cardboard box on eBay- I'd definitely bid on it!

That’s wonderful congrats Adam for building a great box and it’s going to be hold newtons death mask for the rest the time thanks for sharing

This is so great. Love seeing two of my favorite RU-vidrs collaborate like this!

Would it be possible to get a copy of Newton's death mask -- or the 3D printed copy Adam already made? I'd really like one.

I wish he would not apparently carelessly handle the box like he did there 😮

Keith, Adam Savage, and Jared Harris.

hi Adam!

"There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix."

Aw every time i watch one of these i fall in love with keith

I can't watch this. My anxiety rises when I see the guy touch the box and move it. How does Keith, the Head Librarian, keep so calm while someone is not being careful, nor aware? He is able to control his emotions better than me.

A Pom, a Yank and an Aussie walk into a royal society...

Since the dawn of mankind the smartest person in the room is most often the person with the greyest hair lol

Ads will take the box and scan home and paint the scan so it looks just like the original, and hold box and faux-mask in his collection of copied artefacts.
