When Brady asked "Walter White?" Keith missed an opportunity to say "You're God damn right."
"I am the one who docs!"
They mention Captain Fitzroy who is actually a fascinating character. If you like reading about things nautical and want to find out more about Fitzroy's tragic tale and his relationship with Darwin, get a copy of This Thing of Darkness by Harry Thompson. It's more interesting than you expect, I promise you.
You guys are amazing :) thank you for making really clever & educating content all the time. Objectivity is like a museum tour right at my fingertips. Thanks Keith & Brady!
Thanks for tuning in!
Objectivity You're welcome! :)
My grandpa (currently 80 years old) has like 25-30 of these kinda ships, and made 50+ in his life. They are beautiful trust me.
There's a description of Darwin's 'line crossing ceremony' at the equator on Wikipedia. He "was placed on a plank, which could be easily tilted up into a large bath of water. They then lathered my face & mouth with pitch and paint, & scraped some of it off with a piece of roughened iron hoop. -a signal being given I was tilted head over heels into the water, where two men received me & ducked me. -at last, glad enough, I escaped. - most of the others were treated much worse"
I can't explain in words how grateful I am for these video's.
They are simply amazing.
Thank you for all your efforts!
MichaelKingsfordGray Uhh.. Whut? Nope. I'm an entrepreneur. Why?
MichaelKingsfordGray As in, it was spot on, how cool is that? Or as in, WTF dude, go back to school!
Mind you, English is not my 1st language :)
MichaelKingsfordGray Neh, I'm just baffled...
We have a first edition of the Voyage of the Beagle at the library I work at. I was looking at Darwin's journal a few weeks ago. They spent Christmas here in New Zealand, but Darwin didn't have a good impression of the people.
This is really incredible what you're doing here. I may never make it to England, let alone the Royal Society, but there are just so many interesting physical objects squirreled away! You are doing a great service to share these precious objects with the world!
Haha. Keith's face when he realized where Brady was going with 'Keith Moore has... me" priceless.
Going across the equator was a big deal during the times of sailing ships, because the winds near the equator are often non existent for long periods of time, which was obviously a big problem for ships who depended on them for their propulsion. No wonder they had special rituals and celebrations to mark successful crossings.
Well Navy ships still have similar ceremonies today but it isnt quite for the reason you mentioned. Usually the first time a sailor crosses the equator or the date line they are initiated with some silly and usually demeaning ritual. Like striping down and being covered with grease or something like it. It also gives the crew a good reason to let their hair down and have a good time. A good officer knows when not to interfere with the crew.
Still reading The Eruption of Krakatoa and Subsequent Phenomena (thanks to one of your viewers who provided a link in the comments section of that video), and now I have four more volumes added to my reading list. Many thanks, guys! =-)
I love objectivity. Inspires me to get my uni work done.
You done yet?
"Here is the best map our experts can supply you with..." (Hands over a blank sheet of paper) "They'd be glad if you could fill it in as you go" :)
How many of these kinds of books are digitized? I'd quite like to read the Captain's logs from a famous ship. Not necessarily the Beagle's captain, but I often see books on Objectivity that I can't find on Project Gutenberg.
Keith is probably why i watch this channel .... is that weird i mean i like brady also but keith is the one who knows his stuff!
A first edition of On the origins of species sold in 2009 for £103,000
Wow.
For a first edition, especially for a book such as that you would have thought it would go for more. £103,000 isn't much.
Darwin was NOT the ship scientist. He was the captain´s gentleman companion, needed because said captain was afraid he´d get suicidal if he didn´t have anyone to talk to. I´m pretty sure the ship surgeon was officially responsible for collecting stuff and describing them. Darwin just ended up being better at it.
I don't know why but I really want to see Brady accidentally break something priceless one day.
lol
I don't think either of the guys would think that was funny. I'd think they'd be devastated actually. And probably it would end the series instantly.
people who cross the equator by boat are called shellbacks, and they often had a bit of a party for newbies
That's definitely an interesting ship.
Must be an amazing feeling to hold a book that Darwin himself had in his hands 150 years earlier.
Yes Brady, the ship is the most important crew member I'd say
I love how you can't contain your excitement when the subject is adventures :).
Could you guys make a video about John Harrison and the problem of longitude? I'd be interested to know if the Royal Society has any of his timepieces!
Its cool to know that at Fitzroy time, the captain of the ship was refrained from having casual conversation, or any kind of relation to that matter, with any lesse crew member or oficial. its most likely Fitzroy accepted Darwin's letter asking to be on the next voyage of the beagle because he was afraid of going MAD from isolation during the journey. Its also interesting to note that, considering Fitzroy was a bit of a conservative, he and Darwin didn't go along very well at all.
Possibly my favourite video till now! Loved it, great choice Brady :)
Man I love this channel. Amazing stuff Brady & Keith!
That is an impressively good map for people having no aerial capabilities.
I can't believe there isn't a Wikipedia page about Walter White.
Why don't you make one?
Amazing and educating once again :) I'd love to see a Q&A sometime, who is with me?
With Brady or Keith? Or both?
I guess either way, I'm with you! 😄
i would love to see that!
Yay! More ocean discovery please?
Super interesting episode, Brady! And what a beautiful model of the Beagle! :) #KeithRocks
I'd love for the Beagle to have been preserved but if every ships, buildings, instruments that I'd love to have been preserved had been then there would not be any space for new things.
Well, after all, there are a lot of space in the world, so that's not really the problem with population growth.
The reason people are worried about the increasing population is the issue of how to supply enough food, water and other resources that population uses in a way that is maintainable.
On April 1st you should take a mystery box out of the archives, but it should be empty, so it would be like:
Brady: So Keith, what's the story behind this object?
Keith: Well this is air, it's really interesting, because we use this to breathe.
"Hi there everyone, today we are in the Royal Society cancer room which is a real pleasure."
They're like two dads reading me a picture book as I lay here in bed.
I can't wait until next time :)
Fantastic
If Brady replies to this comment, I swear I'll send a letter to Keith to reveal that I'm in love with him.
+911gpd deal
+Objectivity Ha! Brady - please make sure you have Keith show us all this letter when he gets it! 😉
Yeessssss, I'll send it to you via e-mail :)
No it needs to be a paper letter don't be cheap
ILYES Yep that's what I had in mind, I will scan a hand-written text
Superb video! : ) just a shame you didn't show the Fitzroy Storm/weather glass. Maybe for another video?
Now i really wanna sit down and read those accounts by fitzroy...
I wonder if universities library has a copy of them.
Found them! Here's the first volume; I think they have all four:
archive.org/stream/narrativeofsurve11839fitz#page/n14/mode/1up
Ink Panther Nice one! Thanks. Have just downloaded the kindle version :)
Oh, bad news... It doesn't say it on the webpage, but apparently it's only volume I. :(
Ink Panther Check archive.org -- they have at least the first three; not sure about the 4th, but I think it's there too.
***** Yes the father of modern meteorology had an amazing and very tragic life. Modern historians are of the opinion that he was bipolar. His achievements were very much overshadowed by Darwin, but at least in recent times he is starting to get the recognition he deserved.
SO jealous right now...!
Now you you should do an episode about Walter White!
Brady, you look surprisingly similar to a young charles darwin!
Charles Darwin looks like Max egan. Although Max egan is slightly more handsome than the former.
@5:15 he actually says Walter White.
Darwin discovered the Bradypuss!
I want a ship model.
Walter white gets darwin, Keith gets Brady, who does the next get?
pewdiepie?
no dislikes, nice
❤
What happened to your white gloves Brady?
just came from your Snapchat
hey how about Forbes and the Beacon?
Edward Forbes FRS
Rebuild the ship from the model. x3
5:08 That's a cover for coocking meth
Is the mentioned Vera Cruz in Brazilian territory?
try Googling it !
723 to 0 that ratio
Who could be more famous... Isaac Newton?
I just typed beagle on youtube search bar
20 seconds ago? Oh damn
Good video, but it leaves off with a bit of a downer.
He looks more credible without his hipster beard😂-still think his theory is seriously flwed and untrue though

Who's from twitter?
Donald Trump?
