[@JacksHacks2012]

I've enjoyed watching Keith gain some confidence in front of the camera over the course of this channel. He's really funny!

[@a.fleischbender7681]

I thought the exact same thing :)

[@garyzod8818]

Keith has a brain the size of a planet

[@domenicalvaro4744]

An Australian, an American and an Englishman walk into a bar...

[@ten.seconds]

Hey this combination is almost on par!

[@GamesFromSpace]

And get outdrunk by an irishman who was already there.

[@samueldelacruz2659]

And they have a great time.

[@Tedd755]

On a Saturday

[@chriswebster24]

It’s neat how they’re all able to communicate with one another, despite being from such different parts of the globe, and having such different cultures. I feel so lucky that the language they agreed to use happens to be the one that I’m able to understand. Out of all the many languages of the world, I can’t imagine what the odds of them choosing to speak the one language I know how to speak were, but they had to have been extremely low, obviously. They could have just as easily decided on Japanese, Swahili, or Antarctican, and I wouldn’t have understood a word they said, but, instead, they chose to use the language of my people to communicate with each other, and I’m very appreciative of that. It was quite thoughtful of them to speak my language, indeed 👍🏿

[@mountainshrimp1616]

I would really like to see Keith's favorite pieces in the collection of the Royal Society

Keith + Destin + White Gloves = Awesome

Correct! :)

BEST PUN IN THE HISTORY OF ROYAL Society

[@sooooooooDark]

come on dont forget brady :p

[@82rah]

10 Downing St. has been a government property since the 17 hundreds. Rayleigh stayed there when his brother-in-law, Arthur Balfour, was prime minister.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

Liking the research....

[@anernits]

I thought Destin's last name was "Fromsmartereveryday"!

[@markncl100]

Keith & Brady et al. I cannot tell how much I enjoy and look forward to these glimpses into the Royal Society you bring us. Long may they continue.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

Cheers - we enjoy making them.

[@oz_jones]

I am so jealous of you guys having the opportunity to use Royal Society.

[@mateusrodolfo98]

As far as I know, anyone can use it. When Brady started the channel I emailed the Royal Society to know about who can have access to it's archives, as I wanted to see the Principia Mathematica, and they replied to me saying I could do it, but I'd had to ask for it in advance. Only thing missing is an airplane ticket from Brazil to England.

[@iambiggus]

These guys should be the hosts for Top Gear. I could definitely see Professor Poliakoff as a passenger talking about rubber compounds and gasoline chemistry while Keith races him around.

[@FirefoxisredExplorerisblueGoog]

But Brady doesn't swear so how's that supposed to work?

[@mothman.industries]

I want this video to exist.

[@LooneyJuice]

Keith has the best tie ever. Not to mention that having all of you together on one screen is just bliss! Thanks for the video.

[@hermaeus_jackson]

Keith really let some accent slim when he said "talent".

[@Varksterable]

I still come back to old episodes of this channel. But it's not so much for the objects (fascinating though they are). It's because the rare glimpses 'behind the scenes' are such perfect viewing. Interesting, mysterious, insightful, entertaining. Please don't make a documentary purely on this; that would likely spoil it. But keep dripping it thickly into every new Objectivity episode. Thank you for such an amazing series.

[@clairespivak2953]

keith has such a pleasant reading voice, i always enjoy hearing him read from these archives!

[@MrHairyGoat]

Destin-y, ... oh Brady, never change

[@davidalexallen]

Keith's tie is awesome!

[@ridespirals]

I wonder how many times Keith has explained what a "referees report" is and yet there's never a hint of annoyance, he clearly enjoys spreading knowledge. he's a true pro

[@James21691]

More, please more. I made the mistake of finding this channel (long time Brady fan though) and watching all the videos in a few days. Now I'm experiencing withdrawal; please send help.

[@winterborn82]

Every time I see one of these destiny videos, I cant help but think that it would be so much fun just to disappear for a week into those archives.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

it would - with food and comfort breaks!

[@JustOneAsbesto]

There once was a man named Babbage Who himself had quite an advantage He invented computing which used substituting But he lived in a giant cabbage.

[@Scy]

Still a better love story than twilight.

[@EamonBurke]

+

[@WontonTV]

Uh, but Babbage doesn't rhyme with advantage.

[@Scy]

Wonton Uh, it does. Unless you pronounce babbage or advantage wrong.

[@WontonTV]

Lol no, 3 letters at the end of a word =/= rhyme. Does 'delicious' rhyme with 'famous'? Good rhyming is more about matching the vowels and rhythm of a word. Babbage rhymes with 'adage' more than it does with 'advantage'.

[@Mokoach]

dat tie is awesome too

[@LeonardChurch33]

Isn't it though? I was almost more interested in the tie than whatever they were about to pull from the archives.

[@igt3928]

So much talent in this channel!

[@Rincon009]

Subscribed because SmarterEveryDay came up in my search and am not disappointed!

[@SchmackyJoel]

I get to read through documents from the mid to late 1800's at work sometimes. It's challenging at times, but it's fun too.

[@canguar]

Keith is so amazing!

[@cougar1234c]

as a fan of ties, that is a bad ass tie keith has on

[@Sirius19741066]

Lord Rayleigh was a very important scientist. His work on light explained why the sky is blue (Rayleigh scattering). Good pick.

[@naota3k]

Keith's got that awesome tie again! Absolutely love that one!

[@PokemonDiamondUS]

"Not the finest poem i've written" WHAT?!!?!?!! PROOF THAT KEVIN IS IMMORTAL.

[@toolebukk]

This ties neatly into the video I just saw with Hannah Fry about Newton vs Liebniz

[@seanehle8323]

I'm loving all the collaborations I've seen on my favorite KZbin channels! Thank you all for going to the time and effort to travel so far to work together. I wonder if we'll see Brady on SmarterEveryDay soon!

[@jaimeluisi1807]

Destin: *reads provisional card* Keith: " Babbage is celebrated in *vERsE?* "

[@asdfghjkl9346]

Keith, your tie is awesome!!

[@FrontalBeep]

Heyo, I have mentioned this for the upcoming 50th video, but maybe you can do it for the 100th. Could we have a video on Keith and his journey, how he became the librarian, what was his first impression of the collection, his favorite piece, or something that he worked on? Maybe famous people whom he guided through the archives? I really want to know how he went form (persumably) I have no idea what to do teenager, to The Head Librarian :D

[@jonbrown4926]

Had read that Keith was officially the Society's Librarian on the 4th of July, would love to see an objectivity episode that commemorates this date (Maybe a 20 minute video of Keith's favourite pieces?), and not because of the American Independence Day, solely because of Keith's anniversary

[@JosephTBradley]

That look he shot at 2:17. 😂

[@Croxmata]

Keith actually seems to be more excited than usual in this video. Interesting.

[@YPOC]

I'd like to see some reports, sightings and drawing about comet Halley's passes, especially those in 1759, 1835 and 1910. Of course Halley's documents on his discovery and when the comet was named after him would be interesting, too.

[@vincentfiestada]

It looks really cool down in those archives

[@Pilkas_Vilkas]

Love this channel, watching these videos is like meditation with added benefit of information

[@TusharKelshikar]

You made us wait so long for this, Brady. I was so looking forward to this after watching Destin's Guns and Rockets video. Thanks so much anyway.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

good things come to those who wait...

[@seanisawesome000]

He's back!

[@jamesbuchanan3439]

It seems to me that the reference to the "D"'s versus the "dots" refers to the preferred symbols used alternately by Leibniz versus Sir Issac Newton to indicate a differential in calculus, for example, dy/dx is what is used today, but which was not the symbology used by Newton; it would be a Y with a dot over it, as is still used sometimes today in the study of celestial dynamics. (The primacy of the discovery of calculus being of course a huge controversy between the two titans of calculus.)

[@tarunsingh2171]

"Ah its just talent"-Keith da savage!

[@jeroentetje3]

Did anyone notice the tie with skulls and hearts as well? :P

[@magistermaximus]

There is a reason they celebrate d's instead of dots. In the beginning calculus and differential equations were noted with dots. The modern form is of cause dy/dx.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

I miss the old card catalogs at your local library.

[@Noremaad]

Ah, what I wouldn't have given for Babbage in Verse to be a short poem,e followed by 'If Sirs you deny posting with due haste in the quantity of tens or more to all fellows and good men, then ill fate may overcome you'.

[@Th3LadyD]

"Mind your head". Can't get more british than that! Haha, love your videos!

[@mat5473]

This is kind of a tangent but regarding the difficulty reading old handwriting... People back then presumably found it much easier, although I'm sure even they had difficulty. But I think because they just looked at so much more handwriting, their brains got used to the shapes of the words, much like how ours are used to the shapes of typed words (which has been shown to be how we read...using the shape of the word rather than reading each letter and determining what the word spells that way, which is how we must do it with old handwriting.

[@PMickeyDee]

@2:11 😂 wow blast from the (more contemporary) past, I don't think I've heard that utilization of tight since since the late aughts

[@BlackHayateTheThird]

Old-style bromance through writing verses about writing a book together.

[@abstractlycalculated]

Do u get multiple silver play buttons for all ur channels Brady?

[@clairespivak2953]

Brady's touched on this on Hello Internet- IIRC he does! Though i cannot remember which episode it is where he discusses it with grey

[@abstractlycalculated]

ohh that's good multiple silver and gold play buttons!

[@JoeyBartlett]

I knew we were destined to get another video...

[@RobbieSherman]

that was really cool

[@bobrobert1123]

"In modern times" get him destin

[@kf10147]

Oh Brady and his puns A+ video

[@nikolaos9175]

Woot! who knew ud be back

[@Atlantis11698]

Does the Royal Society have any pieces from Ada Lovelace? If love to see some of her work.

[@Cold_Ham_on_Rye]

Someone else already said this but I would love to see Keith's favorite thing

[@oldcowbb]

ok, Keith is now more badass than Neil now

[@tetsi0815]

Did Keith wear a tie with skulls and hearts on it? :-)

[@JunaidalitheAwesomeMe]

Brady THE PUN MASTER

[@SGM260190]

No offence to Brady or Destin but James' camerawork is much better. :P I'm guessing he was busy or otherwise unavailable on the day of filming. Love your videos as always!

[@ShadowReubenKee]

Love Keith, he's so loveable. ^-^

[@PinkChucky15]

Those are pretty good picks :-)

[@namelast6152]

Need more in put please !!!! 🙃🙈🙉🙊

[@GodOfLemon]

His channel brought me here and... nvm :)) I like your channel too !

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

Whoa, some prose has hair stand on end, doesn't it. Nice!

[@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

Babbage in verse: There once was a wise man named Babbage Who sadly smelt too much of cabbage He built a machine Whose price was obscene So his back was subjected to stabbage. I also do children's parties. Nobody asks me to, I just show up and stand there, ominously.

[@Jack2Japan]

ROLL TIDE!! 🐘🐘🐘Alabama!!!!🐘🐘🐘

[@EebstertheGreat]

Is the line about "the d's instead of those rotten dots" referencing two common notations for derivatives, dy/dx and ẏ for representing the first derivative of y with respect to x?

[@Tilbythegreat]

Sounds like they prefer Leibniz's notation to that of Newton. Newton used dots and Leibniz used d's in integral calculus.

[@CullenCraft]

You need to update the annotation on the other destin video FTI

[@dalitas]

so that poem was anti newton(x dot notation) and in favour of leibniz δf/δx

[@dalitas]

addition THAT'S AWESOME

[@EebstertheGreat]

ẋ would be dx/dt, not df/dx or especially ∂f/∂x. It's also possible he wasn't talking about Leibniz notation but rather Euler notation, Dx = dx/dt, which is especially handy when you have access to a font that allows subscripts and superscripts in the same column, since you can represent multiple integrals or partially derivatives with respect to different variables all using a single D.

[@dalitas]

+EebstertheGreat oh yea I do know x dot is the time derivative but I also didn't specify, so x i though of x as in x1 x2... notation for "different dimensions"/

[@EebstertheGreat]

that would be *ẋ* = d *x*/dt = = .

[@dalitas]

EebstertheGreat i submit, i cannot best you, I will return to study the dark arts to see if I can be worthy to face you again Hallow'd be maths

[@vincentfiestada]

Are there new things stored there, or just old stuff?

[@aleksandarereman2080]

What is Keith's autobiography? I woud love to know more about him.

[@FishyArchaeologist]

The comparison of the "d's" and "dots" seems like a reference to Leibniz notation and Newton's notation for derivatives. However I don't really understand why Babbage would be involved or the significance of this change in notation would be important to these researchers.

[@fixityurself]

Why was the 10 Downing St stationary used? i can't see any evidence of Raleigh living there???

[@RickDangerousNL]

Could the editor please dial down the bass in these videos? Especially when Keith talks it's very heavy.

[@JunaidalitheAwesomeMe]

Destin-Y HA HA HA !!!

[@Sluggernaut]

Fine. The First International Olympics.

[@johng7410]

Just paused at 1:19 Babbage! Creator of the first computer (difference engine) with Ada Lovelace as the first 'software engineer'. Ohh come on white gloves on destiny this better be good.

[@Scy]

Keith doesn't look overly enthusiastic that you RUINED (must be spoken in a Stewie voice) his day off...

[@BigAirWindJam]

Might not the CAM be a reference to the Babbage Engine?

[@TheRipler]

Both selections were great! Frustrated that you guys gave up so easily on the first one. I want to see the paper that was being reviewed. Rayleigh distance? Maybe something related to his work on pinhole cameras? I think it had potential.

[@EvanMoon]

Are those gloves useful in Alabama

[@jpatt1000]

2:40 Isn't that Donald Sutherland? Well at least he'd be a pick to play Lord Rayleigh anyway.

[@piers780]

I paused the video and looked up the 1905 fact just before they did in the video

[@ShubhamBhushanCC]

I love Keith. There is no job I'd like better

[@brycegutierrez4677]

Came here because of your Snapchat Brady!

[@thomasdobson1481]

Hi, just thought you'd like the to know that the First Lord of the Treasury - the prime ministers official title - has been living in Downing Street since the 1700s....the name prime minister only became a legal name in 1905 when it was cited in a law....Robert Walpole was given the house by the king, Robert Walpole then said I'll only accept if it is used by every first lord of the treasury and by extension the prime minister - it was a private house when this letter was written.

[@IridiumSmelter]

What are the chances of finding an article about 10 downing street before the Prime Minister lived at that address. I think theres something yo those white gloves

[@JohnViolidakis]

At last!

[@francoislacombe9071]

Alabama shirt? There are elephants in Alabama? 0.o

[@Jack2Japan]

The elephant is the mascot of Univ. of Alabama.

[@francoislacombe9071]

Jack2Japan Oh, that's interesting, thanks.

[@bob963me]

Just in Zoos, but there is an elephant sanctuary a little north of Alabama, in Tennessee.

[@dimesonhiseyes9134]

the correct local pronunciation of Alabama is A'bama.

[@EoThorne]

My guess is "windows" was supposed to be pronounced "windiss".

[@latrbuild]

[@weakpig]

I wonder how historians 100-200 years into the future would inteprete the videos of today...?
