This is partly why I am so in love with antique books! You can almost witness the birth of a new industry (like the manufactured diamonds), as well as a fairly accurate peak at what was either really going on or what propaganda of the time is being spread, rather than the fodder we are fed in school. We have a long way to go before we should even think about moving to a different galaxy-wide home with the minute understanding we seem to have, still! Thank you for all the wisdom and fun!❤️✨
I will be 74 in February. I graduated from HS in 1968. I attended a brand new school, with new science labs. Man landed on the moon in 1969. I began college as a chemistry major. We thought we were pretty damn smart and up to date. Still, since that time so much has been discoverd. In just one area, cardiology, they started doing bypass operations in about 1978, stents in about 1995, and many medications since. People with heart disease today do not have a death sentence, but can live into their 90's. I remember when a heart problem was practically a death sentence. My family doctor, who was in his late 60's had to have "open heart" surgery, which was when they opened the chest. As they said, "he died on the table". Today he would live. In space, they knew nothing about the planets, but what they could see through telescopes. Today, all the planets have been photographed, measured, surveyed, up close and we have fairly complete ideas about them. I remember when the Russians beat us by hitting the moon with a rocket. It didn't do anything, but it was a big deal. that was about 1962. I remember the first live pictures from Europe, via a satellite called TelStar. We thought it amazing to see live pictures from London and Paris. Cell phones? In about 1957 my friend and I strung wire between his house and mine so we could talk over a cheap intercom system I got for Christmas. It didn't work. We had fun anyway.
So interesting hearing how life was like and how different times have become. recently saw an article published say that this generation of children will likely live to 100 and "80 will be the new 60". Our world is incredible and is constantly changing, thank you for sharing
@@Monkeyfun13 They said that about my generation too, but it didn't exactly turn out that way. While some are living longer, generally people are in worse shape, are more stressed, eat more bad food, and exercise less. All of that leads to more heart disease and strokes and early deaths. If people used the knowledge that has been discovered, yes they would live longer. I see there being a big split between the health conscious and those who are oblivious and get obese. Excessive consumption of carbs and sugar are the big culprits. Watch videos about keto etc.
This was fun! Hanging out with you and your mom would be a pleasure. I have a feeling librarians will still be happy to answer questions, written or not.
It's always interesting to look at old reference books to see how our ideas have evolved or dramatically changed. That was a fun vid and you obviously enjoyed making it. Thanks for brightening up my morning (UK 11:30). 😊
I got to thinking about this one and had to come back, according to Wikipedia: "Blue Gum" of Australia "Eucalyptus globulus is a tree that typically grows to a height of 45 m (148 ft) but may sometimes only be a stunted shrub, or alternatively under ideal conditions can grow as tall as 90-100 m (300-330 ft), and forms a lignotuber." "Hyperion was discovered August 25, 2006, by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor.[2] The tree was verified as standing 115.55 m (379.1 ft) tall by Stephen Sillett."
It's a tough decision with so many good questions, but I'll call the sinking ship question my favorite, probably because this came up (no pun intended) years ago somewhere. From what I remember, most or all of the confusion was from people thinking that some air would be trapped in the ship, but not enough to displace its weight prior to being submerged. I believe there was (or is?) a theory that the various things in sea water could increase its density at great depth, requiring less air to displace a ship's weight.
Scientists use to have the freedom to speak and write in "normal" terms so that anyone could read and understand it. Now we are taught to write like robots with NO feelings etc. I love reading old geology texts. I suggest you look into the NYS museum in Albany. They have tons of old state geology publications from 1906 and up at least. They are wondeful with hand drawn color in some of the drawings!!
9:40 Now I now why a few people would laugh when I repeated what I was told: That 1 quadrillion times 1 thousand equals one googol (Hopefully I just got corrected when I found "quintillion").
If you change the speed at which the earth turns the circumference would also change.. and thus changing the shorelines .. it could create great canyons by splitting the crust or creating new mountains .. all it would take is a large gravity well moving thru our solar system
Indeed it is quite interesting to see how science has evolved in hundred years. At the same time I also find it astounding how far science had already been evolved back then... think of general relativity (1915), quantum physics (1920s), or even the evolution of species had been known for over 60 years in 1924. I find it funny and - to be honest - also a bit disturbing how far away science has been from common everyday knowledge.. people still believe in mystics, spirits, astrology and all kinds of stuff and wouldn't have a slightest clue to the answers to most of those questions in that book already been asked 100 years ago.
Now I want to know, if the Earth is 1.6 billion years old and mountains are formed from the earth shrinking, how big was the Earth 1.6 billion years ago?
Thank you for proving that science is ever changing and the other half are theories. Imagine putting your faith in something that changes and has to be revised every 25 years😂😂😂

What's your favorite question that I read from the book? 🤔
How do we know that the earth is slowly shrinking ! their answer was funny !!!
The northern lights
'What would happen if the Earth collided with a star'.
🧐 Well, you didn't read that questions but I saw it when you held the book to the camera 🤓

Thank you very much, very much Geo Beck.
Awesome video concept. Thanks, Becky's Mom! Lol

Great video! 😊👏🏻 Love your side note to the FBI 😂👍🏼
Not sure if I learned anything, but I was definitely entertained. 🙃

I have Charles Darwin, origin of the species. I don't read it but damn it looks good on the shelf.

Awesomeness...

This is great I just bought the book 🎉
ok that's really funny what is the best way to lose weight. answer: eat less food. Lmao! so true.
Thank you for proving that science is ever changing and the other half are theories. Imagine putting your faith in something that changes and has to be revised every 25 years😂😂😂
Thank god there are girls like u that love rocks n this type of stuff means theres still hope🤘🏻 ps link in herk 💎🤣
Venus is what Earth would be if global warming took Red Bull, steroids, crack and speed.
You'll never debunk Flat Alps Theory!!!
Ohh God...Flat Earthers,
They kill me, slowly 😔
