Please do a bio on Frankie Lymon, Simon. he had an interesting life and none the movies do him Justice, just read the Ebony magazine articles about him and you'll see.
I had to double check and make sure I was still watching a biographic on Alexander Graham Bell. I thought I must've accidentally switched to one about a presidential assassin.
Incest is best. Just don't get her pregnant. I guess that's an advantage of a mother over a sister. Benjamin Franklin would agree (he said that old vs young don't matter much from the neck down).
I started losing my hearing when I was 38 (late deafened adult). I went to Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) to get trained in another job which included sign language. We had young deaf teachers who’d had their hands tied in boarding school for signing. For many deaf, signing is an intuitive solution to talking. Now they have a broad spectrum approach that encourages the deaf person to do the best they can to communicate. Some deaf are amazing speakers. Others simply don’t see the point. They’re finally free of the pain and suffering hearing people like Bell had on the Deaf Community for way too many years.
The Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Cape Breton Nova Scotia is amazing. All of his inventions, including the MASSIVE Hydro Foil are on display. You can easily spend a day looking at all he created or had a hand in creating them

I genuinely have to give you a very big thank you for accurate and complete closed captioning. They seem very much to be made and corrected by humans instead of automated results generated by a TH-cam algorithm. This is a tremendous help in understanding the very dense and captivating content of your videos. Very highly appreciated.
As an aviation nerd I feel compelled to mention that the early aircraft that Bell worked on was called the Silver Dart, not the Silver "Dot" like the header says.
I've been wanting to see your take on his biography thank you again Simon! No matter if it is a historical figure I am well versed in or a new individual I am unfamiliar with I never fail to learn something (quite often lots of information mind you).
I've read in "the Book of Symbols (Taschen) in the article concerning the telephone, that Alexander and his brother had made a pact : the first one who was to die would do everything possible to communicate with the survivor.
Bell was perhaps even more important than Edison and Tesla in the history of spirit communication as he created the basics of EVP research. There was a great rivalry about interdimensional communication between Edison and Bell, who was first with his idea of creating the spirit phone. Bell e.g. experimented with latex balloons initially as a tactile hearing aid for the deaf. Since he was a spiritualist, his work soon found its way into the community, where it developed into what later got known as latex trance. So inflatable trance suits were developed (based on a drysuit precursor) those were used for calming traumatized patients, meditation and for transcommunication with the spirit realm. There is much hearsay and it is hard to find contemporary written texts about their research. Acoustic discoveries of Bell labs quickly found their way through newspapers and newsletters to spiritualists, those created own variants of those research instruments for own experimentation. So the whole concept of vibration transmission through technical means was basically derived from Bell.
Please do Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, man who led Finland through ww2, or Risto Ryti who was president from 1940 to 1944. He took all the blame for allying Finland with Germany so others wouldnt have to face the consequences. im going to keep posting this until you do it :)
Hahahahaha, might just be me but at around 2 mins in I interpretted "his mother and later his wife were both deaf" as him later marrying his own mother
Bell, Garfield, Elisha Gray, Meucci, the stupid doctor, there's a lot to learn on this one. I was fascinated by hearing Bell's voice. I found a website that had recordings of voices from history. I was floored when I heard Earnest Shackelton's voice; I adore him!
Heya, Can you please do a video about Nobunaga Oda? There are a few videos out on TH-cam but many of them have conflicting information. He was a keystone in the unification of Japan and I think a Biographics episode on him would be very fitting.
Love your videos Simon and team. Would you do the life of Richard Trevithick on day? The man invented the steam locomotive, the steam car, the steam carriage, and worked on pumps that saved the lives of many Tin minors. He also attempted to build the first tunnel under the River Themes, almost died trying. The tunnel left bankrupt. He was left in a unmarked grave in Dartford London. A sad end for one of the greatest inventors in history.
It was such a fangirl moment for me to hear Simon say my hometown out loud. Brantford - although we natives pronounce it "Brantferd". The Bell Homestead is one of our main tourist attractions. Brantford's nickname is "The Telephone City". The phone company is called Bell, and the old building has a large statue of a seated Alexander Graham Bell at the entrance. Guess where we think the phone was invented and by whom? Thank you for a very interesting video!
Johann Philipp Reis and Meucci both had earlier created an invention to phone from room to room but had no means or idea to turn this novelty into a public national telephone network.
Here in Edinburgh we have no doubts who invented the telephone. By the way, "big city"? Have you ever been to Edinburgh? Even by modern standards it's tiny. Indeed, it's cramped conditions have often led to epidemics, and it is more likely that is how Bell's brothers contracted TB. I am taking it Bell's metal detector worked on the principle of a beat frequency oscillator. This works on two coils sending and receiving impulses, and when the signal hits metal, the tone changes. Such a device would indeed pick up metal from the bed.
How could they implement this? Not even vacuum tubes had been invented yet, so concepts like a theremin circuit were out of reach. They only had stuff like mechanical buzzer coils those could induce some highvoltage.
All of Bell's family members that had the name "Melville" reminded me of Herman Melville, the author of "Moby Dick." Maybe you guys can do a biography about the "father of the modern revenge story" someday.
The plane was called the Silver Dart and was flown from the frozen surface of Lake Baddeck, Nova Scotia in 1909 and was not just the first powered flight in Canada it was the first powered flight in the entire British Empire. I worked in an aviation museum in Halifax, Nova Scotia where a replica of the plane is today.
Correction: The first message sent by telephone was Bell describing the lunch he had at the trendy new restaurant by the old wharf, Watson was then socially obliged to feign interest in the interesting fusion of ingredients and presentation.
The telephone was invented by the German Phillip Reis in 1859. He gave his invention the name “Telephon” and he spoke the first words through a telephone which translates to “The horse doesn’t eat cucumber salad”.
This is the only channel that I can watch and not get angry about you talking about your sponsor. Idk why. Other channels I'm like, I don't care, but for you I don't mind it. Proves how good your channel is.
The word "both" in "his mother and later on his wife" identify not incest but two individuals. Alexander Graham Bell was not involved in incest. Alexander's wife was Mabel G. Hubbard who died in 1922; as for Alexander's mother, Eliza G. Symonds, died in 1897. Awesome Video and God Speed!
Isn't that the guy that hosts LinusTechTips? That would be weird. Ever notice he seldom even does living bios (most are dead at the time of upload)? It would be unusual to say the least to do one that's living and also a fellow TH-camr.
Its prounced like Bra-Door Lake in Cape Breton NS...the museum is actually quite interesting to visit in the town of Baddeck, where Mr and Mrs Bell are buried and their home (Bein Breigh spelling not quite sure of) is still in the family..however it is in need of some repairs apparently, And it is NOT open to the public.. If you come to Nova Scotia, specifically Cape Breton you will understand why Mr Bell loved it so much the views do not disappoint, the people are friendly and it is like "New Scotland" 🇨🇦
Love the intelligent words that are used, nice to have a video not “dumbed down” for regular folk. Always being lead to the dictionary, thanks @Biographics ! You’ve taught me a new word today: vexatious!
Carmela Soprano: “Did you know that an Italian invented the telephone?” AJ Soprano: “Alexander Graham Bell was Italian?” Tony Soprano: “You see? You see what I’m talking about? Antonio Meucci invented the telephone and he got robbed!! Everybody knows that!!”
My father is from Brantford, Ontario. His family and the Bell's were neighbors and one of my grandfather's cousins married Bell's widowed sister in law. My great grandfather turned down the chance to buy into the fledgling Bell Telephone Co. He thought it was a silly invention. There goes my family fortune.
Really loved the video and appreciated the small mention of my home country of Canada. Would love to hear the story of a famous Canadian. I'd love to see some videos of important Canadians like the controversial Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier. or maybe our Hero of Hope Terry Fox.
Very recommendable, but I did not want to know so much about President Garfield's assassination In about 1861, a German Johann Philipp Reis from Frankfurt am Main, also invented the telephone, which was not mentioned
Could you do a video about Robert (Bob) James Keeshan? Otherwise known as "Captain Kangaroo". I love your video about "Mr. Rogers". I grew up watching both and think it'd be cool since they were actually great friends, sometimes doing guest appearances on each others shows. Keeshan's dedication to teaching young children about life and the world they live in is truly heroic in my opinion and his legacy will hopefully live on for generations to come.
"induction balance""relates to the design of the coils rather that the circuit itself, there are various different circuits that can be built to make a functioning metal detector, the two most common are VLF, an PI both of these designs can be built with or without induction balance coils. as an aside in bell's detector was built and setup correctly it would have been able to detect the bullet regardless of the metal bed frame.
Sir this is my third time requesting you to do a biographic episode on mithilesh kumar srivastav a.k.a Mr. Natwarlal the world biggest con artist. If u like to know his accomplishment please do reply me and I would sincerely help you to get more info about this man character. Please sir it's a request from an indian. Jai Hind.
Oh and thank you very much for such a superb and detailed bio Simon. And you managed to get so much in it, even a presidential assasnation. Not to shabby at all. And I never knew about the HELLO. That was a revelation.
Near where i live is a museum for alexander graham bell, also you use to be go on a schooner ride near there where it would take you out onto the bay and sail past his place he use to own, i think the family still owns it. not to sure on that.
I'm saying Ahoy now when I answer the phone. Me: *phone rings* Ahoy! Boss: ....what. Me: It's Alexander Graham Bell's fault. Boss: ....what. Me: Bell popularized the word Hello as a greeting, before then people used Ahoy. Boss: ....okay.
@@UnchainedAmerica its actually became a running joke between me and my boyfriend that Simon is my side chick because I watch the videos all the time while I'm knitting.
It's interesting that the doctors had not gotten the sanitation point, as I have read that the liberal use of bromine water on instruments drastically increased the survival of wounded soldiers at the end of the Civil War. So some doctors knew better (probably also reading about Lister, too), but amazing that some had not gotten the memo yet.
Ignaz Semmelweis found out that messing in wounds or pulling babys out of wombs with dirty hands after corpse dissection was the way doctors killed more people than they healed.
This was basically the same thing they had named "telephone". And of course many others later improved it. Early radio headphones (with sheetmetal diaphragm) were still often named telephone receiver.
Dunno why lawmakers of various countries would care who invented it after the the proposed inventor of the telephone died over a century ago and it's now ancient history. It's like taking the radio patent from Marconi and giving it to Tesla in 1943 after he's already dead. Too little, too late and obviously pretty pointless since they can't enjoy bragging rights and royalties/licencing fees/etc. when dead.
Its never too late to correct the record. Even back then there was intellectual theft that led to unfair patents. Those inventors spent their lives inventing things that we use and take for granted today. We have to give credit where credit is due, if only in their memory. I really believe Tesla's brilliance outshone Edison's. Edison was ruthless!

Hi Mr. Whistler - what role did Granville T. Woods play in the development of the telephone?
Makalani
It's interesting that the doctors had not gotten the sanitation point, as I have read that the liberal use of bromine water on instruments drastically increased the survival of wounded soldiers at the end of the Civil War. So some doctors knew better (probably also reading about Lister, too), but amazing that some had not gotten the memo yet.
Ignaz Semmelweis found out that messing in wounds or pulling babys out of wombs with dirty hands after corpse dissection was the way doctors killed more people than they healed.
As my mother use to say, Alexander Graham Bell never phoned his mother.
So who invented the microphone and speaker?
This was basically the same thing they had named "telephone". And of course many others later improved it. Early radio headphones (with sheetmetal diaphragm) were still often named telephone receiver.

Dunno why lawmakers of various countries would care who invented it after the the proposed inventor of the telephone died over a century ago and it's now ancient history.
