Faraday really was one of the greats. Self-taught and determined to make a name for himself. Inspiring stuff, and he had the talent to give the world something to shout about.
Are there more YT channels like this? I subscribe to over 90 channels of various subjects and format but this particular one is a standout favourite of mine.
I loved that story. It's hard for me to imagine Michael Faraday not be accepted everywhere. While you were telling the story I was picturing him knocking on doors and writing notes, thinking, "I love science, I've got to be working in that field." Wasn't it called natural philosophy? I bet he was a good bookbinder, though.
thank you for taking the time to make this information available here. I wouldn't have any access to it otherwise. btw I think Kieth draws the ladies in just as much as you to Brady lol.
WarpRulez He got an honorary doctorate (from the University of Nottingham, IIRC, but maybe not) for his great body of educational videos bringing knowledge to the public. Insisting on being called "Doctor" is a running joke since then.
At 0:38 there's a document with drawn lines which continue on the page in the book. These must been added after glueing (?) it in the book. Why did they do it on some documents but not om all documents/pages?
There is a relief on the paper. It is possible that what you perceive as the paper border is in fact a result of imprinting this relief: The relief itself is at the bottom-center of the document, but the block used to make this relief is smaller than the paper itself (while not just the size of the relief, as the press used needs a large surface to do its work), leaving a rectangular relief around the document. If you look closely at the bottom-right of the whole page, you can see traces that hint at the real border of the document. That, and the fact that the color of the book is slightly darker than the document, which show that the rectangular shadow that we see is not the end of the paper. This comment comes a little late and I may not have explained it clearly enough (not being a native speaker doesn't help), but I hope it provide you with some insight. (I wanted to find some photos/illustration to help with the explanation but couldn't find any. If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer them as a penance for my lack of clarity ;-))
I do like the caricature you showed at the end, the instruments in the storage room are very interesting. The artist probably wouldnt have taken the time to create them from his mind. He could have just made a closed door. The fact that he included them probably means that the storage room existed and the items shown were probably there. Even if the instruments are not very detailed we might be able to identify some of them?
Wow this guy from the Royal Society looks just like the museum curator in the Doctor Who episode with Victor Van Gogh 0_0 He looks and sounds like Bill Nighy!
Is it just me, or does the latest taboo episode (ep. 4) seem inspired by the caricature shown at the end of the clip? Seeing as it is a British show, i wouldn't be surprised if they consult the Royal Society on these matters.
I wonder what the evidence is for the claim made in this film that Faraday declined the Presidency of the Royal Society in 1858 because he would not swear the oath due to his Sandemanian beliefs. According to his own account he regarded the office of President as a corrupt one, commenting that if elected he 'would not answer for the integrity of my intellect for a single year'.

Keith should become an audiobook narrator. His voice is so pleasant to listen to...
I like this. Telling a complete story through a series of artifacts.
I found that very interesting, perhaps because Faraday has been a science hero of mine since I first read about him as a kid.
i feel you
YAY!!! Saw "FARADAY" on a new release of my subscription feed and instantly GOT HAPPY!!
Wow, it's really nice to see how he got his start in the science field.
Keith fills his situation at the Royal Society extremely well.
Faraday really was one of the greats. Self-taught and determined to make a name for himself. Inspiring stuff, and he had the talent to give the world something to shout about.
Fascinating. Definitely my favorite channel right now.
I have a test in electromagnetism tomorrow, so it was a very relevant video for me!
Faraday is my absolute favorite of the 19th Century scientists, mainly for where he came from.
So work hard at any job and you may be remembered when the big break comes.
A really exceptional episode. Great Job Brady!

VERY WELL DONE !!
Another excellent Objectivity video.
love this series

I read a dramatized version of him a couple years ago. So it's interesting to hear this.
I love the cartoon picture at the end of Faraday in the lecture hall.
Please make longer episodes, i could listen/watch this for 20-30-60 minutes. PLS.
thank you for taking the time to make this information available here. I wouldn't have any access to it otherwise. btw I think Kieth draws the ladies in just as much as you to Brady lol.
As a long time subscriber i must confess, i don't like Brady very much.
But i do love what he does.
I feel very fancy, Keith casually dropped amanuensis and I actually knew what it was!
??????????
It's a secretary for taking dictation, managing correspondence, etc.
It has also a great etymology: 'slave at hand'.
Great video.
I wonder if someone will go through Brady's previous videos and count the number of times he mentions "one of the societies most important scientists"
That's *_Doctor_* Brady to you!
He is a doctor?
No. But he studied journalism for a year!

4:20 The face Keith makes XD
I don't know but I have great attraction for sir Michael faraday

What's printed on Keith's tie in this video?
Keith better go in a tour and give lectures at some point... soon
I see fart jokes never got old.. Btw quite an instructional video, loved it
Faraday is underrated.
can't wait for the next HI episode :( just saying :)
wasn't there one today?
yeah, I should have leave a comment a few day earlier :P
Did you watch the Time Travel Shoujo episode about Michael Faraday? What are your thoughts on it? Is it accurate?
Wow this guy from the Royal Society looks just like the museum curator in the Doctor Who episode with Victor Van Gogh 0_0 He looks and sounds like Bill Nighy!
Maybe the good looks will get Brady that Royal Society fellowship ;)
Is it just me, or does the latest taboo episode (ep. 4) seem inspired by the caricature shown at the end of the clip? Seeing as it is a British show, i wouldn't be surprised if they consult the Royal Society on these matters.
Reminds me of the baseball star Babe Ruth, who was a pretty good tailor
Nice hairstyle Brady :^)
Read and wright the book , " what have we hear !"
Come Brady you didn't give enough credit to Keith joke about the "punch" lecture.
So ... an indenture is a contract. How DID Faraday get out of it?
If Brady wants to be a dandy, someone needs to get him a hairbrush :)
This was interesting -- to see the famous achievers before they got famous.
Keith is my regency dandy.
Did Keith just call Brady a dandy? I'm not sure if that's an insult or a compliment.
Wow the man who invented electric.

Faraday is the reason we have zoos, because he invented the cage.
Pretty obnoxious you ignored the class issues that kept people like Michael Faraday from doing science.
