How Does... With James May | BBC Science

[@JustLilGecko]

I'm almost disappointed this wasn't a 35 minute deep dive on Glue

[@Littleman879]

But you stuck around all the same

[@MrDuane-lr8dm]

I'm disappointed he didn't showcase the stupidity of people, as it relates to what they thought would be hilarious to glue together. It would have been a perfect segue into the cohesive deterioration of glue through a natural process, id est, sweat, which would segue into deodorant.

[@chris2746]

I absolutely would have listen James do a 35 minute deep dive on about just about anything technical or mechanical

[@feelincrispy7053]

New Mind does deep dives on the evolution of engineered products like glue, sandpaper and cardboard. And they arnt just some crappy production that mocks your intelligence either, it’s very professional

Crikey! The only you tube video I've watched in ages that doesn't need subtitles. Proper speak like. Thank you James.

[@longway7948]

Yes! English isn't my first language so it's really easy to recognize his speech. Actually his native British pronunciation is really pretty tho.

[@meagain3876]

Informative and entertaining - James is always worth watching. This clip is particularly good - lots of information and the odd dig at Jeremy and Richard included too.

[@carguybikeguy]

Good stuff! I especially loved the last second loving jab at Hammond. Great work!

[@adam.dzwoniarek72]

I love this guy. He could give a lecture on a broom stick and it still would grab attention.

[@oliverhooper435]

18:54 Currently watching how the technology of a television works whilst watching this (essentially a video) clip from an electronic device similar to an iPad whilst listening to it via Bluetooth headphones is absolutely mind boggling when you think of it! Watching something how it came about in a completely new form now makes me think at the time what people saw when they first saw colour TV from black and white think what would happen in years to come. And here I am now learning about how it worked then although now through a completely different aspect. Mind blown 🤯

[@saltedbarofbutter]

I want more of this. nah I NEED MORE OF THIS.

[@Redmenace96]

Watching the RADAR segment made me think of something: Sending and receiving EM waves is a big part of the tech, but what about the timing mechanism? Light travels very fast! The elapsed time is incredibly small. Did they have to also develop timer/clock of new ability/precision?

[@SuperRemion]

To process signals from radar, timing is king. As the time passed, the tech had to get quicker too. From the creation of the signal, generating the needed power, switching between sending and receiving, to signal processing, a lot of development had to be done to fasten up all these processes.

[@ChrisMasto]

But how can you glue audio and video together? Apparently it's a mystery to the BBC

[@dipling.pitzler7650]

There is a delay because of the Doppler effect!

[@topmandog1]

and covering the old bbc earth logo wioth a grey square and placing the new one over it

[@moniquem783]

I just watched a video that left me feeling really icky. Back to the home page. Scroll. Oooh James May! My version of kittens and puppies when I need to feel better! Perfect timing. Thank you 😊

[@cheesetoast99]

This was great, really helped my insomnia

[@straingedays]

Watching this makes me want a return of The Reassembler

[@Ricimer671]

He still didn't explain why super glue sticks to me but not the object that I am trying to glue together.

[@medler2110]

maybe you're a bit rough. 😂 Sorry I couldn't resist, I'm sure you're really a lovely person and not at all rough. 😁

[@scottmorse9403]

Most likely the item you are trying to glue is oily or glossy and your hands are cleaner and dry.

[@jspaceemperor420]

You sanded your own hand instead of the object you wanted gluing, Simple

[@nigelliam153]

Super glue was designed as a battlefield dressing so that’s why it’s best at sticking skin together

[@XBOXTimeDevil]

That was brilliant! More please!

[@solsol1624]

Since James is known for cars I'll put the first glue segment in terms of tyres. Open to correction on this, but we all know the wider the tyre the more grip. Yet the formula for friction seems to suggest width, or contact patch, should be irrelevant. Think the formula is just coefficient of friction by force or weight. However as the tyre is made of 'rubber ' it moulds itself to the rough road surface making a mechanical bond, hence more rubber on road = more grip

[@UXASSAKY]

my face is hurting thx to Mr. James now

[@drnanjo]

Thank you!

[@GregConquest]

@11:50: In addition to Doppler radar, there is one more major development: radar arrays. Numerous small transmitters are structured as a flat grid. Radio waves are emitted such that destructive and chicken interference between the waves results in a directed wave. The direction can be altered without moving the physical array. Arrays can also be used with ultrasonic audio waves. The can produce waves emanating from a distant point. The descriptions of this, like "hearing a sound coming from within your own head" make me think of Havanna Syndrome. I imagine these arrays will be transformational for various kinds of wave emitters - light, radio, audio, x-ray, etc. Military radar is already switching over. The next-gen AIWACS will have a flat "fin" instead of the current, spinning disk. And there are interesting kit radar arrays that can be experimented with now.

Thanks for not including the incorrect episode in which james may ( by extension the research team) claims that glass is transparent because it is a slow moving liquid. (the real answer is the complex interaction between light and the particles that make up the glass. This interaction is also why when we add different particles to glass, we can make filters which can allow us to select which light particles we want to make it trough the glass)

[@trupower22]

Vand der vaals force is described incorrectly, it's created from instantaneous dipoles, not from the interaction of polar forces. Even non Pilar molecules experience this.

[@EricDKaufman]

Vand der vaals force is spelled incorrectly Van der Waals Force is the correct spelling :-) The rest of your statement is also correct. Well done. I will not troll you on the difference between instantaneous dipoles and a true polar molecule/polar interactions. That would make me look bad.

I think Samsung made a yellow TV years ago

[@glenncurry3041]

@@cinthe3 WRONG! Samsung's were known for yellow vertical stripes because of blue channel issues. And their backlights tended to fade to warmer/ more yellowish. But they never produced a set using a yellow pixel. Current video operates in an RGB space. You could not directly map to a yellow replacement pixel.

Despite Hammond and Clarkson's constant jokes about May being boring, I've watched every docuseries he's made, and listened to him narrate his audiobooks. There are certain voices that go with certain topics. For example in the UK, David Attenborough is the voice of natural history. And I'd say James May is the voice of science, tech, and man stuff.
