    The best science content on TH-cam. Thorough yet understandable to laymen, relevant, entertaining, personal and broad without dilution, memeable, meandering but with purpose, humble, motivating, inspiring, and it leaves you appreciating the big picture while admiring the small things we take for granted. Every video is like a warm blanket I'm curling up inside for the first time.

    I couldn't stop myself from replying that rivers flow not south, but that rivers flow downhill.
    He looked at me as if I had ten heads.
    A quick explanation cleared things up for him.

      @@dal8963 Ok, let's compare your pool with holes in the bottom to a pool with no bottom. Obviously, the ground is wet under both pools, but which is more wet? The pool with no bottom. Now, let's say there's a bunch of devices in the ground that dry it. Where will the devices have more trouble drying the ground? In places that are wetter. Where is it wetter? Under the pool with no bottom. Likewise, someone's immune system will have more trouble fighting, say, a virus, if there is more of that virus present. So while yes, wearing a mask doesn't *guarantee* that you won't get sick, it does make it less likely.

      Im Alastair If you have the coronavirus, you shouldn’t even be leaving your house. And wearing a mask doesn’t limit breathing, rather it prevents further spread of the virus. In fact, cases are rising in the US because of people not wearing masks. Also, “limit the oxygen you are breathing”? That’s not true, they may feel harder to breathe in, but it is still preventative of the coronavirus. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html Even the CDC, a GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION agrees

      Well, good teachers use this technique to maintain the level of attention of the class when explaining something.
      Just slip a little story, a "fun fact", something that goes a little "off topic" and kids will, in almost every case, pay attention to you to hear what you're saying and then you can go back to the main topic.
      This works on adults too.
      I had a teacher who did this with History lessons, he normally would randomly say a fun fact about spies and it would catch my attention again.

    Brilliant! I love your videos Michael, always brings some new interesting info every time! Speaking of time. Who decided that the day would consist of 24 hours and not for example 12 (one of our current hours would be a half one etc) and why did the people choose that?

    • @lololol917
      @lololol917 11 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      and who choose that a minute should consist of 60 seconds and not 100? wouldnt that be much easier to handle and calculate?

    • @EdwardBerner
      @EdwardBerner 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It'd be nice to see a video about that.
      A short answer based on what I found is that ancient Egyptians used to divide the day into 24 parts of varying length (meaning the length actually varied between days, not only that the lengths were unequal), Greeks decided it'd be better for calculations if all the hours were of the same length, and the increasing amount of mechanical clocks in Europe during the 14th century made this system commonplace.
      Hope this satisfies at least some of your curiosity while we wait for Michael to hopefully make a video on the subject :)

    • @santykamael
      @santykamael 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct me if Im wrong but I think it has to do with the best divisible way to number stuff, you see 60 minutes in an hour is great because it has a lot of "divisors", and to mark a day you need a cycle, night and day, so if you put an hour as half an hour or just night and part of sun light as a day and the other part of sunlight as another day you would ruin the cycle or the divisibility of the numbers.. Sorry for the shit english.

    • @darwinroberson76
      @darwinroberson76 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      the number 12 represented the day and 12 for the night in Mesopotamia
      like we choose base 10 after our 10 fingers they chose 12 off the twelve segments in your 4 main fingers on one hand. That's why we base so many things off of 12 still today even after the majority of the world converted to base 10. Also metric time was at one point going to be introduced but 10 hour days were much too long and 100 hour days even worse. (60 is another common base number because it is the 12 segments multiplied by the 5 fingers.)
