@highgroundproductions8590 20 дней назад

One thing a lot of people miss is that these inventions took a very long time to get adopted. Steamships were really only used intensively from the 1830's, and until 1870 or so they all still had a full set of masts and sails. The first photo may have been taken in 1826, but it only really started getting popular in the late 1840s - Felix Mendelssohn, a pretty famous dude, died in 1847 with no photos ever taken of him. Trains only got big from the 1840's (before that there were a few small scattered lines here and there). Until about 1850, most people were country peasants whose lives were still mostly medieval.

@TallinuTV 11 дней назад

ENIAC was not the first digital computer. Colossus was. But Colossus was so incredibly top secret that after the war they destroyed all of its components and all of the documents related to it… Almost all, that is. And eventually it was (somewhat) declassified, and a few people who had hidden away small components or documents or who worked on the project have come forward and talked about it. So it was long believed that ENIAC was the first, and unfortunately that error has persisted, and only some newer or updated sources have made the correction. 😢

IIRC The Romans had a steampowered thingymajig around year 100 (BC?). Mostly just a rich person desk toy contraption. It didn't seem cost effective at the time as slaves were cheap. I'd assume it fits in the engine category, but edit coming later.

@skilz8098 17 дней назад

The original invention of the steam engine goes back to the Greeks. Yet as you have stated, it didn't take to anything because labor back then was plentiful and cheap. And the first light bulb, harnessing of electrical power might have been as far back as Egypt with the light bulb, and as for the battery, there is the Baghdad battery. As for other sophisticated devices in the ancient world, we still don't know to this day since it is still considered to be a myth for it cannot be proven or disproven, yet let's consider for a moment that it did, what kind of technologies did the city of Atlantis possess? If it did exist, and they were advanced and were able to harness electricity, magnetism, etc. in ways that we today still haven't thought of, it is possible that they might have even had antigravity or mag-levitation transportation. To many people or organizations (the status-quo, educational systems, Smithsonian, Vatican, etc.) what's us to believe that the ancients were dumb brute cave dwellers. They want to sell you the idea that we are more intelligent and sophisticated today under the impression that humans have evolved for a lesser form. I don't believe that. In fact, I believe the ancients were at least as intelligent and sophisticated as us, if not even more so! Sure, there are somethings we have done in our time that they could never dream of doing, yet how much did they know that died with them that is lost to us? The only truth that I do know is that when it comes to the ancients, we will truly never fully know the entire truth of what transpired then. We can only hypothesize, speculate, and make educated guesses of what might have happened based on the remnants or breadcrumbs of evidence that we have today, and many if not most of those breadcrumbs are highly regulated and under tight knit security. "If only one could truly explore and document every entry in the vaults of the Vatican"... What are they actually protecting, securing, or hiding down there?

@QuantumRift 2 дня назад

If you want to pinpont 'turning pint' in the Industrial Revolution, it would have to be the invention of precision tools - precision cutting tools in particular, like the first precision lathe. "Invention of machine tools - the first machine tools invented were the screw-cutting lathe, the cylinder boring machine, and the milling machine. Machine tools made the economical manufacture of precision metal parts possible, although it took several decades to develop effective techniques for making interchangeable parts..."

@Redmenace96 День назад

The video correctly points out some of the inventions which were established earlier by geniuses, but 'popularized' by later engineers. (Edison light bulb) Personally, I think that counts for something. Henry Ford didn't invent the ICE, nor even the car. But he sure did invent, "The Car" as the concept we see today. Personal transport which transforms your work, play, and worldview.

@Pedritox0953 21 день назад

@kennylex День назад

The steam engine was invented in ancient times and there is even stories that steam was used to open doors in a temple, I am not sure about that, but there was some spinning toy like things that used steam, so we just improved on that and made them better and more useful. The same goes for the type-press (printing) that existed in China long before it was introduced in Europe, but that was not the most important invention, just the one we are told about; at the same time we had to invent standardized letters (topography) that made it easier to read, the letters got serifs that also made them clearer and create a visual straight line even the main function was to prevent the wooden letters from getting rounded corners, we still today use that kind of letters, like Times New Roman that followed us from old newspapers up until now. So the printer was impressive, but it was the simplified letters that was the best invention that made it easy to read and write. EDIT: I almost forgot; Thank you for a good video.

There's no evidence that the wheel came from the potters wheel. Also the Collossus predated the Eniac as a computer. While Savery may have experimented with the steam engine, but Thomas Newcomben really started it by using the steam engine (really an atmospheric engine which was 1% efficient) for pumping water out of coal mines. Watt made it far more efficient by making a separate condenser. Also Watt wanted nothing to do with high pressure steam, but in order to put steam engines on boats or trains or vehicles like the first traction engines - high pressure was needed and that was pioneered by Richard Trevithick. (The steam engine was probably the single most important invention of the last 1000 years, the 2nd was Gutenbergs movable type printing press.)

@johnmurray3888 4 дня назад

So much for Vaclav Smil's theory that all important modern inventions occurred during the period 1867-1914 and technological progress since then has been confined to refinement of those inventions and their application. The development of many branches of applied science would never have got off the ground without the deployment of powerful computers, which in turn would have been impossible to construct without the invention of the transistor (1947) and integrated circuits (1958)*. The explosive growth of biotechnology would have been impossible without the invention of the electron microscope (1947), the discovery of the structure of DNA (1953) and the invention of the CRISPR (1987). (* Poweful vacuum-tube computers are logistically impossible because: 1, The failure rate of such a computer system increases exponentially as the number of tubes increases. 2. Effective removal of the waste heat becomes totally impractical 3. Electricity takes a nanosecond to travel through one foot of conductor, so the physical scale of vacuum-tube computers places insurmountable limits on the attainable computing speed).

Regard the alchemists, the blacksmiths, the ship builders and doctors at their time. Many skip the Arab. Inventors at the golden Islamic time, that Ramon Llull even cites, and from that Leibniz cites. Faraday, Vannevar Bush, Shannon were also inventors/ engineers by heart. The royal institutions, patent wars or just war invention. Or simply take the moon landing, or current biochemical engineers.
