Fun fact: Kim Il Sung (North Korea's 1st leader) was born the same day Titanic sank. By extension, you can use North Korea's Juche calender to keep track of how long since the Titanic sank. This is because the calendar follows the exact day Kim Il Sung was born.

5:36 - "the *medieval* practice of death by guillotine" ... wait, hol'up, the guillotine is old, but not THAT old, it was invented in 1789, which is more than 300 years _after_ the modern era started.

[@nathangamble125]

1789 is not more than 300 years after the modern era started. Most definitions of the modern era have it starting in the year 1500 (at the end of the Late Middle Ages), which is 289 years before the guillotine was invented, not more than 300 years.

[@Mimi.1001]

Yeah, it's a pretty modern execution method all things considered (especially compared to the most common methods like getting shot or hanged). Execution in general is probably more "medieval" and I feel like the point could be more so phrased like "The last execution in France ever took place in the same year Star Wars initially released", but that wouldn't have worked with an audience where the death penalty is pretty much common place. (France was the last country to abolish the death penalty in Western Europe, btw).

[@DaRealKakarroto]

@@nathangamble125 I've never heard someone claiming it to be _precisely_ in the year 1500, though I've heard people claim it is when Columbus travelled west in 1492 to the Americas. Nevertheless, the most (and regarding western history also the most consistent with the turn from antiquity to medieval times) claimed incident when the modern era started is the Fall of Constantinople. Of course, a change of an era isn't something that will happen from one day to the other and the people living in it would certainly not known 'ah, this is a new era now, time to change our history books'. It is but a chosen point from people in retrospect, so I can understand an argument that the time after that "wasn't real modern era" and stuff; still, as the fall of Rome (don't ask me which one exactly though) and Constantinople are most often the chosen turning points in that regard, my '300 years' comment is very true. And even if there is a sudden shift in perspective and the majority of historic scholars decide "it has to be exactly the First of January in 1500" and not a progressing phase change where a point is defined in retrospect for categorising purposes, it's still close enough to be at least correct in spirit. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised to have an answer to my comment focusing on that minor point (at worst I'm 11 years off) and says nothing about the mistake from the source.

As stated in the video, the components of calculus are much older than Newton or Gottfried Leibniz. What is ment be "these individuals invented calculus" is that each discovered the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. There are two key concepts in calculus: the derivative and the integral. The derivative is the slope of the tangent line. This is your speed in the exact direction you are moving. An integral calculates the area underneath the graph of an equation. It is not at all obvious that derivative and integrals have anything to do with eachother. Isaac Newton and Gottfreid Leibniz are the inventors of calculus due to their discovery of the 1st Fundemental Theorem of Calculus: an integral can be computed using an anti derivative.

The movie Alien was released 10 years later, it imagined a future with computers still using monochrome display. 46 years later in 2015, Space-X has a rocket that can safely land itself. Yes, we don't progress that much, but the 4-engined Avro Lancaster bomber max payload at max range is 6.4 tons, B-29 can carry up to 9.1 tons. The 2-engined F-15E Strike Eagle can lug up to 10.1 tons, the single engined F-35 Lightning II 8.2 tons. You know why they don't send "bombers" as much these days when a small F-16 can carry more bombs (7.7 tons) than B-17 (3.6 tons, if it wants to reach 400 miles and back).

Fun fact: flamethrowers and grenades were created centuries before fire weapons were a thing, they were being using since the ages in which people used formations, spears, shields and swords in battle even the mayans had created their own grenades before the arrival of columbus

I don't know if filling a hollow gorde with hornets and throwing it at people really constitutes a "grenade".

Guillotine was used because it was a relative painless way to go. You could argue it's way less barbaric than the electric chair or those painfull execution drugs used in the US (and no it wasn't a public execution, the last one in France was before WW2)

If the Aztec and Inca started to build 200 years earlier it could've given them the chance to survive the Spanish a bit longer.
