[@HebbenBeeld]

That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight.

[@chrisbm123]

Losing my religion

[@SpaceyGhost94]

Dont tell me hes losing his religion😅

[@lindakilmer2548]

REM!! Cool!!

[@top6ear]

I was hired to photograph Dr. MacDonald from Canada who won for physics, I followed him for a day, super nice guy who tolerated all my questions. That night we all drank with world leaders in physics an absolute hoot.

[@hammerth1421]

I love that the Nobel Prize people have learnt to be brief. The science fair ceremonies I've been at myself as a winner have been like 3 times as long despite them being an event for children and teenagers who'd all like to get their prize and leave rather than sit in a lecture theater and listen to local politicians make grand speeches for 3 hours in total.

[@DasGanon]

Looking Good Brady! Probably not many other people (if any) wearing an Order of Australia Medal too!

[@handlesarefeckinstupid]

Well there are only about 30 of them in Australia. The rest are drop bears in disguise

[@peter.stimpel]

Thanks for the video, but I need to file a complaint. This VU meter styöe animation at the bottom of the screen is driving me nuts. I would appreciate if you avoid such stuff in future videos. Thanks a lot for considering

[@HuMaNiTaRiAn1]

"I wasn't allow to take phots or make video" 0:46 didn't get the memo

[@hantrio4327]

At 10:09 also

[@Stjaernljus]

that rule may apply equally to all but some may be more equal than others. royalty etc.

[@tomgidden]

Back in... umm... 2002 for work I had to go from Bristol to Malmö via Amsterdam just to type a single command on a server console (don't ask) and was stuck in a Swedish hotel overnight. Having no Internet access, I switched on the room TV for live coverage of the Nobel Prize ceremony. During a lull, up pops the Swedish equivalent of a Dimbleby in black tie for a piece to camera. Covering the dinner guests between speeches, the camera was lingering for ages on the gorgeous Princess Madeleine when suddenly he dipped into English for a local adage: "Why haf but öne deesh when you kan haf duh shhmörgåsbord!?" To this day I wish I knew what he was on about.

[@ehsnils]

Other well known Nobel Prize winner: Marie Curie - who got it twice.

[@jonnawyatt]

In two different fields no less.

[@patrik5123]

My grandmother has been watching the nobel prize banquet and ceremony every year her entire life. And so have _many_ others. So yea, it's a pretty big deal here in Sweden. And unlike you, I believe you did deserve to go. You've done more for science in how you communicate it, than many scientists manage to do in their lifetimes. Well earned, imho.

[@TheEvertw]

"This is like the Oscars" I disagree, sir. This is MUCH more prestigious than the Oscars. There is no comparison between people amusing others by pretending to be someone else, and people who significantly improve the future of Humanity by making huge scientific advances.

[@jonnawyatt]

Very true. But probably still a few egos there

[@tbird-z1r]

Nobel prize is a bit less prestigious with the existence of the joke of the "peace" prize. Also the AI bandwagon physics prize recently.

[@ED-yy4te]

He felt the pressure that killed Tycho Brahe

[@klaxoncow]

Most famous scientists: 1. Albert Einstein 2. Sir Isaac Newton 3. Stephen Hawking 4. Muppets Scientist Guy Seems legit.

[@jimb9063]

Respect where respect's due- Dr Bunsen Hoeneydew if you please!

[@Evergreen64]

Dr. Hopfield is 91. So it's no wonder he has a bit of trouble getting around.

[@cabooseMK2]

"I'm also too stupid to win a Nobel prize or Fields medal." Me too Brady. You are smarter than a lot of us that watch your videos.

[@jeremybuchanan4759]

"Everyone in Sweden should just have the same coat."

[@theemissary1313]

Brady looking swish in that tuxedo! Where can I find some of those shoes? They look great. I'd also point out, Brady, that far from not being deserving of an invite, you have done for science communication and introduction, what the professors do for their students by inviting them. Showing people what science is like for real, with real professionals and academics. But on a global scale. Yes. You have earned that invite!

[@ameyakshirsagar4941]

Everything about Nobel prize looks grand. It's the prize given to great human minds who gave something new and valuable to humanity. It's grandeur still hasn't fade even a bit and will continue attract brilliance for centuries to come.

[@JimmyMatis-h9y]

Yes it is! Though I recommend being careful about admiring grand looks pomp & grandeur is required for all cults. This is just the cult of elite intellect & industry.

[@EdMcF1]

In Scandinavia there is a huge thing for sailor hat parties at graduation and getting hammered on a pub crawl. Go to Copenhagen in midsummer and you will see and hear groups of students hiring usually an army-style lorry and going on a pub crawl, blaring out music, waving banners and blowing whistles.

[@Moffen9T]

18:52 that is just the most Swedish accent. Very nostalgic. Glad you enjoyed it Brady!

[@Wolf3fd]

An email from a Nobel price winner is cool, but I got multiple from the Nigerian prince.

[@NathanaelNewton]

This is such a great conversation, thanks so much for sharing ❤

[@roberttelarket4934]

Poliakoff will be awarded the Nobel Prize for best chemistry videos.

[@lsdzheeusi]

Brady you clean up nice! So happy you were able to attend!

[@GundersenMarius]

43:13 I would love that, and I've thought about doing it. It would be cool to track the progress of science through all the prizes, since they often build on each other. It would also be cool to hear about the people who won and if what they discovered is still relevant today.

[@lindakilmer2548]

Does anyone know how the Big Bang Theory did a Nobel ceremony that appeared so authentic??? Or was it authentic?????

[@johnries5593]

King Carl strikes me as a hale old man. He's definitely been presiding over awards ceremonies and banquets for a very long time.

[@domramsey]

Reminds me of when I won the Nobel Prize for apathy. Couldn't be arsed to go to the ceremony though.

[@Einyen]

I think the "sailor caps" are graduation caps from high school and similar level of educations before university, at least they look like that in Denmark and I'm pretty sure in Sweden as well. But I guess they might have caps like this in University as well in Sweden, that I don't know about.

[@OlliWilkman]

We have pretty much the same caps in Finland, too. They're high school graduation caps, but they are also the ceremonial cap of the university student. Historically, they started as university students' caps and later became high school graduation caps. It used to be the same thing, because the high school final exam was the university entrance exam. In Finland, university students used to wear a blue cap (like some Estonian students still do) in the early 1800s, but some students switched to a "Swedish-style" white cap in 1864 and it became the norm. That white cap originated in Germany, and it came from there through Denmark and Sweden to Finland. These days, all high school graduates get a cap with the symbol of the University of Helsinki on the front, because that used to be the only university. But if you go to a different university these days, you might replace it with the symbol of your alma mater, if you care enough about these things.

[@davidgustavsson4000]

Traditionalists will wear a blue cap in winter and a white cap in summer, except it's always a white cap with tails. In this respect, summer starts on Valborgsmässoafton, last of April, so universities will have a cap ceremony as part of their celebrations.

[@Einyen]

@@OlliWilkman Thanks. I actually went to university in Denmark in the late 90s, and we didn't have caps like that. So I'm not sure if Denmark doesn't have them or only some universities, or if it started later.

[@Flying0Dismount]

They could do a Disney style "The Nobel Experience" show... You purchase tickets first by filling out a form that looks like one of those applications to publish in a journal, of course checking the box for the VIP experience where you get to sit on the stage and get a souvenir plastic medal presented to you by an actor dressed like the King of Sweden.. In between presentations, you get typical Disney song and dance numbers and then you get bussed to a typical theme park cafeteria where you line up with a tray and pay exorbitant prices for mediocre fare, unless you purchased the VIP ticket, in which case the meal is bundled and you also get a glass of mediocre wine or spirit of your choice, and then everyone files into the eating area which is superficially decorated to resemble the banquet hall and then afterward, you exit through the gift shop where you can purchase photos of yourself take by strategically placed overhead cameras and other keepsakes and souvenirs like posters, pencils, plastic medal replicas, stuff dolls of Alfred Nobeland of course the obligatory T-shirt that has a formal tuxedo front printed on the front and "Disney's Nobel Experience" across the back..

[@Thoran666]

I didn't know that there was so much glamour at the Nobel Prizes. Thanks for the interesting talk and the beautiful images.

[@patricescattolin43]

Who is the other guest of the podcast? I don't see it in the description

[@periodicvideos]

My buddy Tim Hein - check out The Unmade Podcast - www.unmade.fm/

[@Graham55382]

Tim Hein.

[@OwlRTA]

Dr. Reverend Tim "Heindog" Hein, The Moth aka Heinhond™

[@srwapo]

Congratulations on your prize!

[@0neIntangible]

Congratulations, Brady!

[@victorgarciasilva8183]

Hi periodic videos project, would it be possible to activate the automatic youtube audio transcription to spanish or another language, the whole world will thank you for it.

[@MagnusOsterlund]

My sister was was invented for many years ago as a student

[@davidgustavsson4000]

Don't worry about being undeservedly invited at an event where the main guy's primary credential is being the great⁴ grandson of a guy whose claim to the throne was that he was available.

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

I must admit feeling slightly cheated, I thought the Prof had won something that I had not heard about. Nevertheless it looks like you had an interesting and enjoyable night - even if you DID have to wear a tuxedo!

[@jwb6583]

Happy New Year!

[@lynxfl]

Brady's been hitting the Fitotron 5000 lifestyle hard seemingly

[@TheGreatAtario]

How dare you forget the name of the most important scientist of our times, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew!

[@niceride]

John Wilkes Booth jokes and published on 6th January 🤔 "but they were short" the duration of the interpretive dance, or the length of the dancers?

[@Richardincancale]

9:33 Hope these ladies filming are paying their 30k kronor fines!

[@joncodyhaines]

What’s up with all the people taking photos/videos in the official video… but you can’t‽

[@jasonsmall5602]

Demis the most fancy, with his OBE medal.

[@simonboucher7152]

My second choice would be Newton, tho Curie would have been high. Feynman maybe.

[@Chriva]

Heard our king mentioned. Guy is basically like everyone's quirky father. So many pictures of him doing clown things in public 😂 He used to hang out a lot in Västervik during my childhood and what immediately caught me off guard is that he talked to people like he's known them for years. :)

[@amontaval]

Your voices are so similar it sounds as if you're talking to yourself.

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

12:44 openly filming/photo 😂

[@YawnGod]

It's all Eyes Wide Shut, isn't it? Gosh darn it!

[@adrian7583]

Marie Curie?

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

more xrf analyzer will be amazing sir not just metal detector or geiger counter maybe

[@sorphin]

For an event that you're not supposed to be taking videos or pictures at... I saw quite a few phones out taking videos in the audience..... I guess amateurs are allowed, but people who know what they're doing like Brady cannot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Gaspode_]

Dr Bunsen Honeydew is Beaker's boss

[@mateuszcielas3362]

why Fields must be under 40? whats the reasoning?

[@friiq0]

They want to encourage fresh new work by up-and-coming mathematicians with the Fields Medal rather than well-established mathematicians with long careers. There may be another prize for lifetime achievement in Math, but I don’t know about one.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

Why do you call them sailor hats? They are the kind of hat used whith many uniforms. Do sailors even use them?

[@ugthump2753]

White caps are used by the Australian Navy. The UK and USA also use them. Officers wear a cap with a black peak, but a bit bigger than those the students wore. So the student caps look a bit more like an ordinary seaman's (sailor's) cap than an officer's cap.

[@thend4427]

Im happy Bill nye got one

[@XAirForcedotcom]

OK, well you’re handing each other prizes I am sending out a message that we need to write a universal constitution for all living things to include life that we have not met and artificial intelligence. We can unify the world and take care of each other and the environment easily. Everyone needs to stop concentrating on their one area and work on the big picture of what can absolutely save us. This is the next step in social evolution and we need it to happen now after we prepared a little bit. I’ve ran this through three different major AI companies and all of them agree and it’s also economically better for all of society along with getting rid of most of our major problems that are true threats to humanity and every other species.

[@XAirForcedotcom]

I’m listening to you talk about the event and I absolutely know what you’re talking about because I was in the military for 22 years. Many times I was running the public address system for the event so I went to a abnormal amount of these just at a lower level in society, but still very formal.

[@XAirForcedotcom]

Of course you’re gonna be happy when you’re that old. It’s like being let out the nursing home. : )

[@XAirForcedotcom]

Think about the old person standing in front of you at the grocery store and how happy they are to even talk to the cashier after sitting at home for weeks without talking to anyone because they’re at the age that all of their friends are no longer here

[@XAirForcedotcom]

Just think when he grew up, that’s how everyone dressed and he finally felt at home again.

[@XAirForcedotcom]

60 or 70 years ago, you would’ve got the exact same treatment just by going to the theater or getting on an airplane. Lol

[@niafer9444]

Brian Cox would have been among my choices for second. Although it was the 1997 PBS TV mini-series, Stephen Hawking's Universe, the sparked my interest in the Cosmos. I still listen to it every week or so. Very relaxing.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Its all pomp and circumstance.

[@immameme]

Cool Science and Imma1st Don't take my comments seriously. It's only a meme

[@danielmadar9938]

❤

[@sgtommyc]

The name for the dress code is "Galla 1" which means white tie and tails for men and tailored long dresses for women with no embarrassing cuts or details plus all medals you've ever earned or been rewarded. It's called class, which republics and colonies knows nothing about 😉

[@paulmicks7097]

Thank you for covering this pompous elite affair , did they also have cyan and yellow napkins to celebrate the war in Ukraine?

[@Mudu0123]

Plzz help me in chemistry 🧪😢

[@MrCaptainbirdman]

Plz help

[@Shadowstray]

Having some king taking center stage among so many distinguished people kinda diminishes the honor of being there.

[@KentoLeoDragon]

And the wokest prize goes to...

[@kpc5]

Just Unsubscribed, i really do not care of your self importance.

[@dynimo1]

Thanks for letting me know

[@teeteetuu94]

Bye, you won't be missed.

[@thend4427]

This a pretty big deal it's sad you don't understand

[@JimmyMatis-h9y]

Idk...since the committee gave one to Kissenger, how prestigious should we consider the award/event to be? 🤔🫤

[@tbird-z1r]

Obama got one.. He was a great president.
