[@jmmahony]

As an occasional science teacher one of my pet peeves is how the "Newton and the apple" story is routinely condensed to the point where the real story is completely lost and all that's left is "An apple fell and Newton called it gravity", which is stupid- any caveman knew that when an apple detached from a tree, a force pulled it to the ground. For anyone interested in the real story, Newton lived roughly a century after Copernicus and Galileo had found that the planets orbit the sun. By this time scientists figured the planets must be held in orbit by a force between the sun and planets, and they knew how to calculate the centrifugal force on an object in a circular path. By looking at the (relative) distances from the sun to the various planets, and the speed with which they orbited the sun, they could calculate the (relative) forces, and found that it decreased with the square of the distance between the sun and planet. What Newton added to this is that he considered the apple, and the moon orbiting the earth. From the moon's orbit, he knew the centrifugal/gravitational force pulling the moon towards the earth, and recalculated for an object near the earth's surface, and found that it matched the force on the apple. So the force that had been known on earth since the days of the cavemen was shown to be the same that was holding the planets in orbit around the sun.

[@nadennight]

Not to mention that he made many contributions apart from describing gravity -- the laws of motion, calculus, numerical analysis, fluid dynamics, and the spectrum of light come to mind.

[@nicholasleemarks]

“For anyone interested in the real story” … friend, I think you have the right audience

[@goatgirl5968]

I found this interesting, thank you. I always tell my son that his generation will never invent anything new or make any discoveries because they're always just watching crap on TikTok. Maybe this is mean, but these sciencey guys from earlier centuries had a lot of time for thinking and look at all the stuff they came up with. P.S. Yes, I realize that I waste my time watching stuff on KZbin but nobody is expecting me to invent anything. I'm past my prime.

Tonight's Corrections was made FOR ME!!! And Seth, thank you for sharing your unfiltered brain with us jackals each week! 🐾❤️💜 "Only problem...hard to find." "No, this is just a prop." Double Earhart burns!! So hard to predict where they'll land 🤣🗺 Squiggy saying "Hello" sent me hurtling back to a childhood memory of watching afterschool reruns of Laverne & Shirley, nurturing my nascent dream to one day work in a soda bottling factory with my best gal pal! 🎶💄🥾🧤 Bad, Bad Leroy Brown was my dad's favorite 8-track to play in the car, so hearing "Well the two men got to fighting, And when they pulled them from the floor, Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple'a pieces gone." 🧩🤕 This lyric is legitimately why I never got into fights in school. Your nightmare Mac Tonight "gift" evokes John Oliver's beach trash baby dolls segments. Wonder if the jackal who created it for you is also an Oliver fan? 🤔 🐾🏝🛢🧸🔪🪸🧸💉

"Tonight's Corrections was made FOR ME!!!" is a sentiment I hope many of us jackals feel whenever we're watching. This is peak comedy.

Congrats on your new job! I saw in another comment that you're working in local news - I did, too. It was a transformative experience and gave me skills I still use every day despite no longer being in a newsroom.

I hope you have the time of your life ✨

[@laras678]

@@schempgirl1 Just remind yourself that being new and getting yelled at is how it goes for most new jobs, and it won't be long at all until you're the one who knows everything, and you're watching some newb screwing it all up and you'll be remembering how it was for you back in those days. And then, to break the chain of yelling, you'll be the one to calmly tell them what was wrong and how to fix it next time, and you'll tell them them a story of some mistake you made to make them feel better, and the world will be a better place. And then when they're the one who knows everything, they'll remember how great you were when they were new and struggling, and they'll pass that on to the next new person. So enjoy your new job, and if you can, just keep telling yourself that it won't be long until this rough stage is just a memory. And congrats on working at your dream!

Actually Sir Isaac Newton was a keen alchemist, so the whole photography/videography thing would have interested him a lot.

Fun fact: Newton believed in alchemy. Seth seems to also with his jokes.

[@BWintJack]

Also wrote a treatise on optics (or "opticks," as he called it.) Glowing screens would have fascinated him! The bit about the naked woman would be true, though. Newton died a virgin.

[@Zahaqiel]

​@@BWintJack Newton's understanding of physics is sufficient to at least get him to mid-20th century photography and filmography with a little outside help. I feel like the notion that photonic excitation can induce electro-potential in solid materials, and that the topology and composition of said objects can be used as a medium for complex computational methods, resulting in the storage and transfer of information in replicable electrical forms and multiple kinds of material storage methods may just wind up looking like magic to him though. And that'd just lead him straight back to alchemy, which... I mean... there aren't many alchemy rehab facilities left anymore.

As it happens, you're accidentally correct in saying that Sir Isaac Newton would be more interested in how she came down if a naked woman fell into his lap, as Newton reportedly had no romantic relationships his entire life and died a virgin. He even outright ended a friendship over a dirty joke about a nun, such was his prudishness.

[@S.Pociecha]

Correctness is a feature, not a fluke! And Sir I believed in fairies, so the "prudery" act was more like homoerotic self-punishment. I had a teacher like that.

[@canadianhappyinitalytruest6556]

I feel like Corrections is just Seth’s long game to get us to help him perfect his stand-up set.

[@lb5368]

100%, we'll see him perform some of these joke premises on Netflix! I'm here for it 🐾💕

[@ofsinope]

Dunno about that. Corrections is the exact opposite of a tight five.

[@stefanhoimes]

I still think it's a Fred Armisen joke that got out of control and turned into this glorious adventure.

Have you seen Seth's stand up special? It was already perfection

I will never get over why the roadrunner looks like an ostrich not an actual bird called a road runner

[@maciek5608]

fun (?) fact: in the Polish version of the cartoon the bird is identified as an ostrich (struś)

[@jkar4727]

Yep. As a kid I always tought "Roadrunner" was the name of the ostrich coyote tried to catch. You know, like Stargazer or Skywalker.

I became a Seth Addict during the 2020 Pandemic. I was peripherally aware of him before that, and had watched him in front of his audience on several occasions, but in the depths of that endless lock-down despair, I stumbled upon his wasp infested attic cam-comedy and found myself clinging to the beam of laughter he provided... I got to really understand what great comedians can do for us when we need it the most. And here's my two cents: I think that during the pandemic, Seth emerged as the reigning king of silent-room comedy. Sure, Colbert and Kimel were having a crack at it, but Seth had every trump card in his corner: humility, compassion, generosity... and he's a master of absurdist humor. (The sea captain & his wooden friends were the simplest, and most comforting characters in those dark days.) Seth is in many ways the last of his kind in a long standing tradition of Catskills comedians -- which is now a disappearing art form, as millennial comedians have all become tv preachers, often skirting jokes to instead proffer intellectual gospel. But what I wanted to say is that Seth really mastered his delivery style during the pandemic, playing to an empty rooms with occasional cackle from the staff. With every joke landing in silence, with no feedback, he became a master at holding it all on his shoulders and I think this has perfected his comedy now that he has returned to an audience. In "Surprise Inspection" the bad jokes become infinitely superior to the good ones - Who else can claim this? He is now able to fly through "Corrections" which to me is one of the greatest, most innovative comedy bits since Gervais's The Office, or Andy Kaufman's sideways, mind bending act. Kudos Seth Meyers and your team, who often gets credited! And thank you.

This segment is so funny! Keep it up Seth.. Thank you! My wife and I Love the show.

For a second there, I thought "is that bloody baby doll head CAKE?", Somebody should make Seth a cake like that.

[@DavidRodriguez-jz4mi]

I wondered why he was doing the Mac tonight material at the beginning instead of the end, but I should’ve known he was just setting us up for a brilliant payoff. So good! BTW, is there going to be a Corrections anniversary show this year? Perhaps with us finally getting to see “Cicada, Cicada”?I. certainly hope so!

[@RandallChase1]

14:17 agreed that is terrifying! Maybe it should go to the same place as John Oliver’s Demon Baby Dolls!! Scary 😧 😱😬😳

Dude this has been one of the best!!! Seriously.

I had my eyes closed at just the right time, but heard the scream and went back to see the image. Damn you, damn you to HELL, Seth!!?!

[@edwardlwittlif]

Hey everybody, *HUGE* jumpscare warning for this video. Right when the video starts, you'll see Seth isn't wearing a suit, even though he's the host of a late night show. It might give you a fright; it certainly spooked me. Just wanted everybody to be aware!

I see my painting made it in time for this week's corrections.

@@S.Pociecha ha ha ha, I like they but no I made the Mac Tonight becoming Seth painting.

[@gregmark1688]

You're actually completely right about Newton; he would definitely have ignored a naked woman. Newton was famously misogynistic, in fact, he apparently had no interest in any kind of sex. He avoided women his whole life. Near the end of his life, he said he was proud that he would die a virgin. So, yeah.

[@lsaideOK]

And his right hand was found to be two times larger than his left

I was working on a TV show on the back lot of Universal Studios in California and heard the eagle/hawk sound and thought that we were really really close to a ride just beyond the trees making a sound effect, but we weren't it was just an actual red-tailed hawk.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

We have 'em flying all over the place where I live and you learn the different calls they make. Some of their juvenile calls are almost easily confused with bald eagles in fact.

[@jasoncarter1869]

"May up, be the place you keep the good work" 🤣

[@joelflanagan7132]

At the end of the episode Seth said "See me next week" when in a lot of cases the audience won't see you next week if they failed to show anyone the Mac Tonight image.

A collage of the Mac Tonight paraphernalia would be fantastically terrifying...maybe for the next specjackular? My favorite is still the black card and creepy photo.

The Roadrunner does not say "Meep, meep." It says "Beep, beep." It's even written out in a speech balloon in one of the episodes.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Similar tangent, different cultures have different ways of writing sound effects! I know in French comics, gun shots go "pan pan!" instead of "bang bang!" for example. It's cool to see the different types.

That’s so funny about the eagle/red tailed hawk. We have red tailed hawks around our house and I always wondered why eagles sound like hawks 😂 Sometimes I marvel at my lack of curiosity.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

lmao. this is actually done with MANY things in audio editing. when you watch a movie with a car chase, you're probably not hearing that car's actual engine. Definitely not hearing that car's tires screeching. Almost everything is replaced with a better sound. But the red-tailed hawk is definitely up there as the greatest "find" in Hollywood audio. Whoever did it first did a good job!
