This was actually quite interesting. Someone wrote an EXACT data point that happened hundreds of years ago, and we learned how it was captured. I like it!

Keith is like an old school Google, finds a random name in an obscure letter and instantly "he was an instrument maker, he made telescopes". I'm amazed Brady wasn't amazed.

Its like a giant library of science and history that you can touch!

@BeastOfTraal
@BeastOfTraal 9 лет назад
I've heard a second chance called a Mulligan.
@TheNumberScott
@TheNumberScott 9 лет назад
BeastOfTraal The two terms are different. A mulligan would be acting like the first shot had never happened and not counting it. If they had simply closed the drawer and ignored the card, never looking it up, that would be a mulligan. A provisional is different. When you hit the ball in the water (or out of bounds or something) you have the choice to drop it where it went out (counting both the original stroke and a penalty stroke) or you can (still counting those strokes) hit another one from the same spot you hit the first. If you're not sure whether you hit the ball in the water or not, you can hit a provisional, so that you can avoid walking all the way back to the tee box. If it went in the water, you just play the second ball you hit, but if you didn't, you play the original one and never play that second ball you hit. In the video, once they checked out the first card, and determined it was a dud, they were able to simply pull out the next slip instead of having to walk all the way back to the tee box (or card catalog) because they had hit a provisional.

I definitely did appreciate the randomness. I would have liked to know why, exactly, the Royal Society was interested in a mortgage repayment... was it a building they owned maybe? In any case, more videos like this would be appreciated. As you say Brady, everything is interesting. I fully agree with that. During this video you mentioned that the catalog of objects has been computerized, but that leads me to wonder: Is there any effort to digitize the actual objects themselves? Scanning of the written material, of the various artwork, and 3D laser scanning of the physical objects?

Hate to point that out, but not random at all. The top right box didn't stand a chance. Humans, including Brady, are poor at picking items at random, or generating a random sequence. Perhaps a topic for the Numberphile video ;)

Pāvils Jurjāns I can't help it if the White Gloves of Destiny chose the more central draws... blame the gloves! - Brady
@pseudocalm
@pseudocalm 8 лет назад
+Pāvils Jurjāns (Passiday) Still random enough since Brady doesn't know where things are in the catalogue, so essentially any of the cards in the catalogue could have been in that top right box that Brady was never going to pick. It makes me laugh every time....you can literally open *any* Brady channel and any video on that channel and the comments will be full of people trying to point out - sometimes right, sometimes wrong, and almost all of the time unimportant technicalities or corrections. I thought somehow this video would be spared from that fate but I was trying to kid myself. Not trying to knock you for pointing it out, this is just a fun thing I check on every brady video now. It's endemic to his videos, more so than the rest of youtube. Check for yourself sometime.
