Boys and his Bubbles - Objectivity 187

[@DackxJaniels]

"You know what they say Keith, boys will be boys!" *Keith taking a split second whether or not to acknowledge the bad pun* "Yep."

[@steve1978ger]

4:58 - "... and he used some of his instruments to measure the temperature of the Moon". - "Cool!" - "It is very cool, yes."

[@skoobydoofus5997]

"Boys will be Boys." I could see the pain in Keith's eyes at that one.😂

[@BTmatias]

by far one of the best channels on KZbin. I hold a little grudge against England for stealing so much stuff from the rest of the world, but also admire them for taking such great care for history (and it's artifacts) nowadays.

[@BritishMovietone]

Haha - don't upset the archivists by calling their shelves dusty whatever you do! Jenny from British Movietone

[@dielfonelletab8711]

Brady: Boys will be Boys! Keith: ... Yep The delivery on the "yep" and the immediate cut away was hilarious.

[@dielfonelletab8711]

4:10 by the way

[@KarlFFF]

6:56 Idea for a new objectivity segment? Find the things in the archive that hasn't been taken out and looked at for the longest amount of time (hence why the items are dusty). The dusty shelves of the archive. Would probably be similar to The white gloves of destiny, but never the less sounds fun to me :)

[@ΧρῆστοςΚωστελίδης-γ3φ]

I agree

[@Ana_crusis]

could be a good idea but as Keith says you can't use the word 'dusty' . maybe 'forgotten' ?

[@DackxJaniels]

I just imagine Keith spending every episode being politely annoyed by the fact that the series is named "The dusty shelves of the archive"

[@UpcycleElectronics]

How does this channel only have 146k subscribers? KZbin's AI has flubbed up on this one. This is one of the best channels on here. -Jake

[@JonathanCorwin]

Sadly too many folk want to watch slow motion videos of guns firing instead...

[@josuelservin2409]

@@JonathanCorwin, I like to watch both, learning from the past and present is one of my favourite things to do.

[@konzetsu6068]

Hah. You left out a fun nugget... 9:08 "On this occation, C.V.B. related that when he had just completed his first recording instrument--the gas meter of which was made of celluloid--a visitor pointed to it with his lighted cigar. The meter took fire, and "two years' work went up in flames". So what did mr C.V.B. reply?

[@RadeticDaniel]

Thanks for pointing me back to that frame! I usually pause and read the pages, but couldn't do it today

[@Joe_VanCleave]

Boys' Soapbubbles book was one of my favorites as a kid. I might still have it somewhere in a box.

[@iAmSoEpicYea]

This is fantastic to see as this came from my Grandfathers house. I am looking forward to coming to visit it. Slightly bizarre for me to no see it in the family home anymore!! thank you for sharing some of the history behind it for others to see!!

[@Macieks300]

6:20 Brady intimidated by Keith to not look at the sun hahaha

[@ragnkja]

Macieks300 To Brady’s defence, he did test the eclipse goggles first to confirm that they didn’t let any light from weaker sources through, and only _after_ they passed that test did he even consider looking at the sun through them.

[@Macieks300]

Well I looked at the sun a couple of times in my life directly and I'm not blind

[@PerMortensen]

When you look at the sun directly your pupils will contract, protecting your eyes somewhat. If you're looking through really dark glass then your pupils will remain dilated, and if the glass you're looking through isn't filtering out UV then your eyes will fry in no time. Keith was very right in advising Brady not to test out those glasses.

[@PeterGaunt]

Excellent, Brody and Keith! I have never heard of Boys before. I wish I had someone like him in my family.

[@orellaminx3530]

7:06 The dust in an archive is just a collection of the people who have visited.

[@naota3k]

7:49 that handwriting is *GORGEOUS* ! It almost looks like a specific typeset, or "font" nowadays. Beautiful!

[@zeikjt]

Someone really wanted him to use that wire.

[@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.-]

You two are a wonderfully intelligent and funny duo, and this video really captured that.

[@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.-]

@MichaelKingsfordGray, both, and both work off of both.

[@Hagledesperado]

4:10 Keith's reaction

[@stuartthegrant]

What a wonderful collection. Interesting video as always.

[@Vardagaladhiel]

Wow, I love all the different facets to the donation which give such an interesting insight into the person! I haven’t heard of Boys before so this was really interesting as always!

[@piotrarturklos]

LOL at 4:10 "Boys will be boys"

[@reabkire]

another lovely episode :) Dad jokes and interesting science history...and of course objects :P great video!

[@leobarlach]

"You know what they say, Keith. Boys will be Boys." "Yep"

[@brocktechnology]

I discovered that book in the school library in junior high, I was absorbed with it for weeks. Shortly after moving on and losing access to that particular school library I developed a desire to read it again. I didn't remember the author and I assumed it was a profoundly obscure old book so I didn't have much hope I'd come across it. Just recently (25 years later) the book crossed my mind again, a few minutes of googling and I had a PDF as the book is now public domain. Now I just need to find an appropriately old book that I can smell while I'm reading on the computer.

[@adnenmez]

4:11 Keith is definitely not amused by that pun.

[@HermanVonPetri]

"Yep" More stunned than anything, I'd say.

[@lasksi]

Its beneath Keith.. lol

[@andrewkepert923]

... but his burn on Brady's "Cool". 5:00 #maestro

[@dielaughing73]

Not mad, just disappointed

[@shugaroony]

What a great man and scientist he was. Inspirational indeed.

[@BrawnyFanta]

Wow, what a guy and what a collection!

[@kamilazdybal]

Amazing! I read the wonderful book 'Soap Bubbles...' some years ago and I never thought I will hear about it again!

[@celtgunn9775]

I absolutely love the painting! So gorgeous! Can you imagine the time taken to paint the bubbles? 🤔 The 2017 total eclipse I went to view totality. Absolutely stunning experience. Something I will never forget.

[@triangledefinition]

I'm so jealous! I still have a road map my friends and I drew the path on, but when it happened a few clouds came by so we only saw right before and right after.

[@francoislacombe9071]

The eclipse goggles looked like they were made from a piece of overexposed black and white photographic film. They would have been quite safe to use I think.

[@MisterTingles]

Brady: "Well, you know what they say, Keith..." Keith: "Yup."

[@laurentbergeronmusic]

Great stuff

[@Skem67]

Wonderful!!

[@ragnkja]

So Boys was better at writing books about science than he was at teaching the subject in a classroom? Though I would disagree with Wells about calling him the _worst_ teacher ever, since he did manage to make or keep his student interested in learning, even if he didn’t always manage to make the material stick.

[@daily8150]

Every time I see those black borders I feel sad for the person writing the letter.

[@Sam-lr9oi]

wow what are the odds I watch this on June 29th, 92 years after that eclipse

[@davidrenton]

interesting HG Wells went to a school just next to my road in London (no longer a school) i wonder if that;s where he taught.

[@EchoHeo]

Bubble boi

[@suzannep]

Is that a stereoscopic image of the canon at 3:06

[@litigioussociety4249]

It's perfectly fine to look at the sun for a second, so he could have tested the glasses for a split second to see if he could see the sun through them. During an eclipse they warn people about looking at the sun to insure they don't try to watch the start of totality without protection, because you don't want people staring at the sun waiting for it to happen. People don't always realize that you can't see a partial eclipse with your eyes, even when the moon has covered almost all of the sun. Personally, I have glanced at the sun just before totality, and at best the nimbus/sunburst around the sun looked slightly lopsided. The end of the totality can be watched just fine, because you'll only see the sun's direct light for a second if you wait to see the end of the diamond ring effect, and it's by far the best moment to watch, because while the corona glows for a while, the diamond only appears for a second.

[@comsubpac]

Brady you should visit the Deutsches Panzermuseum. They have very interessting Objects.

[@Tfin]

So what was it passed for "high speed" photography 150 years ago? Was it any faster than the modern norm?

[@mushroomsamba82]

4:10 Brady with the dad jokes

[@ic8575]

Objectivity is like antique road show for young people who watch youtube.

[@otakuribo]

3:51 @SmarterEveryDay you were called out

[@EchoHeo]

Erik Satie Dang bro I love your music

[@eriksatieofficiel]

Thanks mate, all my music is on my channel, enjoy!

[@praveenb9048]

08:42 "CVB ... was of good stock". (2nd paragraph) I don't think you'll see that kind of assessment in a modern obit.

[@PinkChucky15]

Wow, sounds like he was a very interesting man.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

Looking directly at the sun for a second or two will not harm you. Haven't we all done this by accident?

[@thescientist4726]

4:11 haha that yep

[@megadyptes]

Yup.

[@swagswap]

"Can I handle this?"

[@ramonie10]

Too bad they cut out part of Keith's reaction to the "Boys will be boys" joke. Left in it would probably be "Yup.... for fucks sake, Brady".

[@dielaughing73]

I think we saw the full response

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

4:13 Keith is horrified as Brady makes a silly name joke. Keith's face tells the whole story!

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

@MichaelKingsfordGray : Keith has taken custody of family hierlooms, to be included in the Royal Society collections. The family name just might possibly be Boys as well. While the joke is silly, Keith must deal with the proprieties and that family. Ouch!

[@farpointgamingdirect]

How many people suffered permanent eye damage using the 'Eclipsia"? You definitely need eye protection while viewing totality...

[@tinyturtle1898]

I've been busy thinkn bout boys 😉

Brady you lost weight!

[@Braeden123698745]

He nailed down the constant of attraction. But couldn't nail down her attraction...

[@steven_003]

I love the title, I bet 9/10 people misread it. Lmao

[@harrytsang1501]

Brady is eagered to stare at the sun

[@erniejohnson547]

If these materials are of historical interest one has to ask why are they,the articles, being handled with bare hands. Definitely not good museum practice.

[@CorwynGC]

Keith prefers that Brady not wear gloves when handling paper.
