"history of the entire world, I guess" | Kip Reacts to bill wurtz

Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into the history of the world, or something? This was an absolute gem of a video and I had a blast reacting to it. Hopefully you even learned something from this as it was incredibly informative and filled with memes. I highly recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

6:17 You laugh and joke, but the actual, real-life reason we now know theropod dinosaurs and modern birds are related is because of the movie Jurassic Park. They had paleontologists over with the effects team and used the 3d imaging software to build a mesh of a T-Rex skeleton to work out how to make it move realistically. Then one of the scientists went "Hang on... I've seen that before..." They then pulled up a video of a chicken walking around and had a collective breakdown at the sudden realization that theropod dinosaurs were mostly just really old, really dangerous chickens.

@@KipReacts Who is these days?

[@emperorteutonic7964]

I am afraid that is not true, since this was speculated or suggested way beforehand (See Franz Nopcsa, Thomas Henry Huxley and John Ostrom), it just wasnt the mainstream opinion in paleontology (A guy called Gerhard Heilmann basically fucked that up in the 20s). Also Birds arent just related to theropods, they are theropods.

[@beefystu559]

So cassowaries?

[@lauchlangibson732]

Thats… that's not fucking true, birds being related to dinosaurs was an accepted fact among paleontologists decades before Jurassic Park was made, Jurassic Park just made the general public aware

[@rangerghost2474]

“The Demon Core” is the hardest name for a weapon I have ever heard holy f.

[@KipReacts]

It definitely lived up to its name.

[@gabrielhenson5751]

yeah, it got called the demon core due to an accident that killed one of the researchers and heavily irradiated the surviving researchers. the demon core (during the incident) is an internal core of plutonium held in a sphere of beryllium used to deflect the radiation particles back into the plutonium core. the sphere of beryllium is actually split into 2 half sphere parts. Those half sphere beryllium shields should NEVER touch together and completely close-in the plutonium core because that is what causes it to go supercritical, (plutonium or other similar fissile material going supercritical is the start of a nuclear explosion by releasing a massive amount of energy and radiation extremely quickly) so what happened in the accident that gave it the name the demon core? Well, during a demonstration/experiment the demon core was being kept just subcritical by a screwdriver holding one side of the top shield up so the casing wouldn't close fully. but at one point in the demonstration the screwdriver slipped out and the beryllium casing closed, causing a flash of blue light as the core goes supercritical for a fraction of a second before the lead researcher (who was holding the screwdriver, and was closest to the core) ripped the top casing off the core, stopping the reaction. the lead researcher was instantly given a lethal dose of radiation and knew it, with him being quoted saying, "well, that does it." after stopping the reaction, he then died 9 days later. Everyone else in the room was given a dangerous dose of radiation, and most of them ended up dying years later from cancer

[@Magnustopheles]

It's not even a weapon, although it was originally MADE for use in a nuclear warhead

18:35 something interesting about Mansa Musa is that when he went on that spending spree, he gave away so much good that he caused its value to nosedive so hard that it took decades to return to its previous value, literally crashed the market

[@PongoXBongo]

Yep. He pretty much tanked several economies too, including Egypt.

[@ghostshrimp5006]

actually as someone who fancies a bit of paleontology, recent research has shown from a well preserved patch of skin from a T-Rex shows that it may not have had feathers at least not during adulthood

[@Krokmaniak]

If I remember correctly and my knowledge isn't outdated (I'm not gonna lie. Bug part of my Dino knowledge come from books from 80's, though this part is from like 10 years ago)T-Rex were supposed to have mane like lions, just made of feathers in adult form.

[@ghostshrimp5006]

@@Krokmaniak That might be outdated, i fallow ben g thomas a paleo news channel and i haven’t heard anything about that

[@DracoJ]

@Krokmaniak well the only Tyrannosaur I know of that definitely has feathers is Yutyrannus. The last study of feathers on rexes pictured small quill or down like feathers on the head, back, and neck. Similar to that pictured in Prehistoric Planet I believe.

[@DaviusMelleisiusFelix]

9:05 China was called China long before the 1949 communist takeover; in the 1842 Treaty of Nanking for instance, the Emperor is called the "Emperor of China". According to Wikipedia, the name has been used in English since the 16th Century. The precise origin of the name is debated but it is often considered to derive from the short-lived Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of imperial China. China is, of course, only the western name for it, and the Chinese call their country “中国” (zhōngguó), 'Middle State', or officially “中华人民共和国” (zhōnghuá rénmín gònghéguó), 'Chinese People's Republic'.

I’m swooping in to answer a question 4 months later! The cube mentioned when Islam was made as a religion was the Kaaba. It’s just a massive cube draped in silk that Muslims make the pilgrimage to in Mecca. It’s a major religious artifact for them.

16:30 It's first Reich and lasted until Napoleon. Second Reich was from unification in 1870's to WW1

[@yeshevishman]

A lot of people don't realize but "spices" in general back then largely refered to preservatives. It was literally what kept the trade economy going so people could continue to travel and trade far distances without having to stop and constantly hunt/forage for food. All traveling merchants needed it, which is why it was so profitable.

[@HiddenWindshield]

28:40 You're conflating two different things here. Yes, there was a third one ready to go if Japan didn't surrender, but it had nothing to do with the Demon Core. That was just used for research. It got its name from the fact that it killed two different researchers in two different lab accidents. It was slated to be used in a test, but that never happened, and it wound up being melted down instead.

[@jesusofbullets]

The Soviets didn’t win the arms race, and especially not because the Tsar Bomba. Yeah, it was really big, but that’s not really an achievement. Scaling up a nuclear weapon isn’t really that hard. NOBODY really won the arms race because there wasn’t really a goal. Maybe the idea of getting more nuclear weapons, but while the USSR made more BOMBS, the US made more nuclear equipped missiles, meaning while the USSR technically had a larger stockpile, they only would be able to use a fraction of it before the end of the world considering most of their bombs were literal plane carried bombs, not ballistic missile carried. But if you want to be REALLY technical, then the USSR lost by default when they collapsed.

[@dymaxion3988]

The ancient Roman steam thingy was just a single prototype that one guy came up with. It spun around and looked cool, but it never went any further because they didn’t know about air pressure, which is a requirement for building a steam engine that can do useful work.

24:04 It was the Greeks. They had the aelopile, a metal sphere with two opposing vents on it. When heated, steam escaped from the vents and turned the ball. They considered it a novelty, not something useful.

Technically only 4 states have outlawed slavery in it's entirety, as is still a punishment for prisons. So It is still legal.

@@Great-Documentaries Read the the 13th Amendment again. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

[@IceMaverick13]

@@Great-Documentaries How do you think we have so many "Made in America" products that can compete with Chinese-made products at the same price point? We use prison labor for a _lot_ of US-made products and prisoners are not required - at the federal level - to be paid for work that they do. They form the foundations of constitutionally protected slave labor and are the main driving force behind the existence of for-profit prisons and why the US kickstarted the entire "War on Drugs" in the first place. With a heavy focus on introducing drugs into - and then prosecuting - minority communities with felony charges, they could very conveniently get them back into the slave-class as part of the 13th Amendment because it's 100% legal to force somebody into labor against their will if they've been convicted of a crime.

[@TheOneGuy1111]

Let me ask you something: Is kidnapping legal? Because if prison labor is slavery, then by that same logic arresting someone and throwing them in jail is kidnapping.

To expand on the national security aspect of Manifest Destiny, we were essentially surrounded by "enemies" on all four sides: British Canada to the north (not "America's Hat", but backed-by-the-Redcoats Canada), Mexico to the south, the Royal Navy to the east, and Native tribes to the west, many of whom were friendlier with Britain, France, or Spain than to the US. If we hadn't managed it back then, we might be in a border panic similar to Russia today.
