Hawking vs Einstein | ERBreakdown History Teacher Reaction

[@torgnyaanderaa2334]

The last line in Hawking's first verse is a double homage to Newton, as he was also the one who said: "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

[@Daytruin]

also another meaning is he is dropping mad apples which if you take sir issac newton (fig newton bars). so dropping mad bars from the shoulder of giants. If you want to take it there. Kinda a double there.

[@HGmolotov]

another fun fact: that quote is theorised to be a dig at hooke, who suffered from a curved spine, meaning that hooke could never be one of the "giants" from which isaac could base his work from. yeah, newton was a dick.

[@timothylemmon4430]

I know you are trying to go through the season one ERBs first but Bill Nye vs Sir Issac Newton is a great followup to this one.

[@Inevari]

I think the ti-82 -reference is my favorite one of the entire ERB catalogue. I used that graphic calculator all the way through my uni studies back in mid 90's. Back then it wasn't just a calculator it was THE calculator! This is just such a specific reference to a very tiny part of specific nerd community it always makes me smile.

[@zeallust8542]

Im a super computer, youre like a TI-82 Oooohhh Fukn classic, and i grew up with those too lol. I think eventually we hot 84s, and you could put games on them. Good times

[@majinsole8554]

Loved your breakdown of this! The MC Squared line is one of the all time greats in the history of ERB. Would love for you to cover Sir Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye after this one- would be a great compliment. Great work as always, Teach! ~_~

This was awesome to watch... this is one of the few where you are actually so completely engrossed in the lines of the battle and your explanations, it reminded me of the Eastern vs Western Philosophies ERB. It is amazing watching you catch the subtle jabs that others have missed and then recognizing how much research ERB does in order to write their scripts

You're the first (and maybe only) one to explain p-brane line! Ty for that.

Keep on doing these please! You're like the cool history teacher I should have had in school, and this paired with ERB breakdowns, makes learning these facts enjoyable.

This has always been a favorite of mine when I was a kid but I had no idea it was so in-depth! Why we need more teacher eddie vids on erb!!!

[@thatguy_5240]

Its wild how much the production value went up for ERB, I remember watching these come out when I was in middle school and early high school, and its hella nostalgic. These were a big part of my later childhood into early adulthood, and I get just as excited when they release new ones as I did back then

[@zeallust8542]

This is one of my favorites. And its one of the most underrated.

[@albroiser]

This is one of my favorites ERB's, it's so iconic that people keeps asking for a part 2.

[@Caelum7913]

The ten million million million million million million million million million particles in the universe that we can observe line is my absolute favorite ERB line in all of their videos. It absolutely wins the battle for Hawking for me too.

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

it was a very weak line tbh, he lost

[@johneagan5249]

I knew the particle line would get him choking. Ha, love it. Keep up with the ERBs and Oversimplified videos.

[@animationmaster4]

Surprised nobody caught your joke about how even his marriage was relative. Fantastic.

[@tdb2012]

Loved your breakdown of this one Eddie! Hawking's TI-82 reference is a bigger diss than it just being a calculator. Texas Instruments came out with the TI-82 after some of their customers complained that their flagship calculator at the time, the TI-85 graphing calculator, was too complicated to use. So they came out with the TI-82 as a stripped down, simplified, user-friendly version of the TI-85 -- basically the TI-82 is a "dumbed-down" TI-85.

[@heresheis2063]

One of my fave erbs. Tnx for reacting to this

[@Sensei_BigJoe]

Wow man, you.are the only other person I've heard get the p-brane reference. Not trying to blow you up brother, I'm bingeing your erb playlist . I am super envious of your recall man, I have to flick through my mental roladex to pull things up but you just have it right off the cuff. So impressed and envious brother.

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

Appreciate it

[@AlyxiSistahTweaky25]

An addition concerning the line about the shoulders of giants (and Einstein's immediate response): The quote is attributed to Newton in reference to Descartes and others in a letter to Hooke. And Hawking's book by that title is a compilation of works by past masters....including Einstein himself.

++001 I always find your intros funny because I've noticed each time you do a new reaction to ERB, you say "Faaaam" a tiny bit longer than before. Now I can imagine you saying it for so long, it starts echoing or something silly of the sort. Anyways this ERB is one of my top 5 favorites when it comes to the music and beats. I also agree on how good Hawking's flow is.

You watch John Oliver's interview with Hawking, and Hawking's pretty good with the putdowns for a laugh. So the whole "put the ugly ones and put them into one nerd" is something I can picture Hawking saying.

[@Bigsamoa20]

I've always liked the last line. My brother was born in 1993 and I was born in 1999 and when I got to high school, he gave me his TI-84. So even though, not a TI-82, frickin' hilarious to me.

[@jappperon7012]

There’s a general misunderstanding of what a theory is in science. Theory can’t be “disproved”, but they can be updated based on the available evidence. What Hawking did was hypothesized what would come out of black holes, which was then disproven through peer review. Generally, we want hypothesis’ to fail, it helps to learn more about something in science Please correct me if I’m wrong

[@dole8001]

I thought the C stood for a constant, which in Einstein's case was the speed of light.

In physics, the speed of light in a vacuum is known as the universal constant.

[@DJchilcott]

@@tonysanders2332 Isn't it something like the only true constant in physics?

[@BigBisdotdotdot]

Hey Teacher Eddie, just wondering, shouldn't Hawkings Black Hole 'Theory' really be referred to as a hypothesis since it wasn't something that was accredited with peer reviews, and evidence. Hence why Big Bang Theory, or the Theory of Gravity have such titles because of the extensive evidence towards the claim?

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

His theory was a black hole in itself

[@jasongarfitt1147]

Bigger than the holes in the black hole theory, not just the flaws in the theory but the black holes themselves are some pretty massive holes

[@jasongarfitt1147]

@@TeacherEddieHistory also Hawking radiation is not the thing that was wrong, thats something else. Hawking radiation is one of the methods how we detect where the event horizon of a black hole is. In space, where two gamma rays intersect you can have something called "spontaneous pair production", where the enery from the gamma rays is converted into mass (via e=mc^2) in the form of a particle and its corresponding anti-particle. If this happens too close to the event horizon, one of the two can get trapped by the black hole and it looks like the black hole is producing tbe other.

[@Thundernoob98]

I was under the impression that Hawking radiation is correct but he lies about the way this happens because it was too complicated for normals to understand so he made a simpler explanation for them while the actual theory explains how it really works.

[@elenteny]

Hawking radiation is separate from his original theory on black hole information theories, which is where he deals with what happens at the event horizon. While that theory is a big stretch, theoretically speaking, his work on hawking radiation is still widely held as quite possible the only issue is that it is so hard to prove due to how small the energy signature of that radiation would be compared to the energy held in the accretion disk.
