Kaluza was not a string theorist, though I'm not sure how I would try to introduce him with three words. He formulated a theory that attempted to unify the two known forces at the time-gravity and electromagnetism-by introducing an additional spatial dimension with a very small diameter. This inspired later attempts at unification of gravity with the three forces currently explained by the standard model of particle physics (electromagnetism and the weak and strong interactions), including some that also introduced additional dimensions. In a sense, the basic approach of almost all modern string theories parallels the theory developed by Kaluza and Klein in the 1920s and 30s. Kaluza's first theory was purely classical, not quantum. Kaluza-Klein theory was quantized, but it did not involve strings or branes in any way, only point particles. A true string theory-a theory that involved dynamics of strings in some way-didn't arise until 1969, when Nambu, Nielsen, and Susskind independently discovered that Gabriele Veneziano's theory of hadrons could be interpreted as dynamics of vibrating strings. The first model apparently consistent with experiment was a theory of bosons in 1974, but the (possibly unique) 11-dimensional theory of everything we think of today didn't arise until the development of M-theory in 1995.
I've been skydiving a fair few times, back at university I joined the club and learnt it via static line. But I'd hate to do a tandem jump, the lack of control would terrify me.
I was (and am) a nerd. When I was 16, a friend of mine got a motorcycle and I wanted to ride it. I literally checked out a book from the library called something like "How to Ride a Motorcycle" and then just rode it. I think it was a 200CC Honda. Within just a few minutes, I was going 50+ on the highway ... no helmet, of course ... good times!
My father taught me how to drive when I was 5, I was in the f250 super duty. Hindsight a smaller vehicle would have been better! Still a great memory with my dad!
I think I was probably around 6 when I learnt to drive the VW Kombi van. Father was happy to take us on laps of the school field. Our mother believed that was a waste of money, and would only let us drive in the course of actually going somewhere. So all the family, van fully laden, open road, mother sitting in the middle of the bench seat, leaning over the steering wheel ready to grab it and completely obscuring my view of the winding country road, screaming at me to be more careful... I preferred my father's lessons.
First vehicle i drove was my grandpas 1940s ford 9n, when i was twelve. Grandpa said when i was heavy enough to push down the clutch i could drive it around. Tried every week to shift it for three years, then when i finally did drive it for the first time, regretted it a week later when they made me cultivate and plow from then on.
My cousins were out driving the farm vehicles by 8. They'd be driving around the farm checking fences and water troughs on their own as soon as their feet could reach the peddles. I have fond recollection of them driving the tractor with a big load of hay on the trailer behind. They had a huge bull that would lift the back of the trailer with his head whilst we were sitting on the back. I think most of our farms here in Australia are a lot bigger than elsewhere in the world. It's such a dry hot place you need more space to run cattle.

When I was 17 I got my open motor bike licence without a road test and immediately bought a slightly warmed up Honda CB750, rode it from the bike shop to my house, picked up my gear and road it 400km to my brothers place . I had never ridden anything bigger than a Yamaha 250 2 stroke and NEVER ridden on the highway. Ah rural Queensland in the early ‘70s. Fun times...and I survived.
I did bungee-jumping three times in a row from about 50 meters on Bali. It was quite exciting. But one of them I jumped backwards, so I couldn't see where I was going. For some reason it was much more scary.
The most frightening one for me is the chair bungee jump. They strap you in a chair and they throw you down with it. Falling down freely feels more consented than falling down strapped with a chair.
@@violetskies14 yeah, you fall with the chair because you're strapped with it. I don't know if it is accessible for people with wheelchair but it doesn't hurt to try.
who wouldn't take a light reprimand from our Lady Toksvig? when she reprimands the audience for the ding dong with calman and holly, it's what she does, makes things right again.
"I do Comedy" Yes, that can be far more dangerous than most army field medics. ( I mean how often, even when at war, are you really shooting at each other at close range). They stand, completely unprotected, in front of drunk, childlike, demanding audiences armed with umbrellas, bottles and assorted other weapons, and the need to somehow impress a certain young lady. Basically an accident looking for a place to happen. And they are sitting down and not moving.
1. It's likely at like 50% of places, especially dry humour countries. 2. It is also possible they were both there at the same time... We keep finding out on these shows that all British comics are friends
It's a staple joke for any activity that involves jumping off something. Apparently a variation for bungee jumping is when the person is committing to falling backward and the last thing they see before the point of no return is someone yelling 'NOT YET!' and holding the end of an untied rope.
regarding Lee's anecdote, I read about a Dutch girl who died bungee jumping because the instructor said "no jump!" in a funny accent and she understood "now jump!"
Taught myself to waterski... Granted, I couldn't captain the boat simultaneously, but deduced the physics involved and, just right up and across the lake I went 👍
Just wondering... is watching a video or reading a book teaching yourself or learning? although not person to person my thinking is you are learning from the instruction from someone else, while teaching yourself is learning something without instruction from someone else

Lett out a bit more rope and had a loop in it with a wedge and string to keep it in place. Having done the activity and knowing when it's at its most frightening I cut the string giving him an extra couple of feet of rope at that point. The scream could be heard from the top.

So I have a question for the English speakers in the congregation. Why 'skydived', and not 'skydove'? If Alan dove into a swimming pool, we'd say he dove in. If Alan leapt head-first through a window - or indeed from an aeroplane - we'd say he dove through the window or from the plane. So why does 'Alan skydived' seem natural? Does it seem natural to you? Is this just creeping Americanisation of the language? Or is there a valid reason for this usage? A penny for your thoughts.
That’s interesting actually I never thought about that - I think “dove” is actually an Americanisation though, I think the one situation I might say “dove” is into a pool of water, but I would probably say “the robber dived out a window”, and when watching football we will always say that “the goalkeeper dived for the ball” - so perhaps it’s more a problem for Americans to work out why they don’t say “he skydove”
@@tomrowell1558 I've only ever seen Americans (and American-influenced people) use dived instead of dove. I have met Americans who see 'dove' and try to pronounce it like the bird, so pretty sure at least some of them are firmly in the dived camp. In the same way that Americans haven't dreamt, they've dreamed. Although I think they dreamed while they slept - surely they wouldn't say sleeped unless they were deliberately baby-talking? It's actually pretty easy to see which are the American spellings - any spell-check or auto-correction will almost certainly default to American spelling and grammar.
Americans will say "dove" or "dived," but I think "dove" is more commons (NB: I am one). However, we rarely say "I skydived" or "I skydove." We will instead say "I went skydiving." It's almost never said as anything but a gerund.
In Alan's defense "to impress a girl" has led to many misadventures,and the survival of the species.

Bold of you to assume Alan isn’t also a lesbian
So I have a question for the English speakers in the congregation. Why 'skydived', and not 'skydove'?
If Alan dove into a swimming pool, we'd say he dove in. If Alan leapt head-first through a window - or indeed from an aeroplane - we'd say he dove through the window or from the plane.
So why does 'Alan skydived' seem natural? Does it seem natural to you? Is this just creeping Americanisation of the language? Or is there a valid reason for this usage?
A penny for your thoughts.
That’s interesting actually I never thought about that - I think “dove” is actually an Americanisation though, I think the one situation I might say “dove” is into a pool of water, but I would probably say “the robber dived out a window”, and when watching football we will always say that “the goalkeeper dived for the ball” - so perhaps it’s more a problem for Americans to work out why they don’t say “he skydove”
The past participle of dive is always dived. Grammar is quite interesting indeed.
@@tomrowell1558 I've only ever seen Americans (and American-influenced people) use dived instead of dove.
I have met Americans who see 'dove' and try to pronounce it like the bird, so pretty sure at least some of them are firmly in the dived camp.
In the same way that Americans haven't dreamt, they've dreamed. Although I think they dreamed while they slept - surely they wouldn't say sleeped unless they were deliberately baby-talking?
It's actually pretty easy to see which are the American spellings - any spell-check or auto-correction will almost certainly default to American spelling and grammar.
@@ejauthor this discussion is about the past imperfect.
I never dreamt I would have to point that out.
Americans will say "dove" or "dived," but I think "dove" is more commons (NB: I am one). However, we rarely say "I skydived" or "I skydove." We will instead say "I went skydiving." It's almost never said as anything but a gerund.
