Electric light bulb was invented by Joseph Swan not Edison. Swan took Edison to Court, but settled out of court and Edison and Swan set up a company to manufacture light bulbs 💡
It's kinda weird to see - especially since the youtube trend of Reaction videos and international folk being exposed to a lot more (great) British comedy, I think you're right. It's hugely culturally significant. "We" also made some incredible contributions to the worlds of literature and stage performance.
Comment from an American on BBC'c Radio Four many years ago: "Given your incomparable inventive genius, I simply don't understand why the Brits aren't the richest people on the Planet". Well, aside from our dipstick politicians, I suspect that we Brits are more excited about inventing and constructing things than we are about making money (something we tend to leave to our Colonial Cousins!)😀
@@maureen348 "America had the money to develop" Until the beginning of the 20th Century, Britain had very little need of American money. But after 1913, of course - with the creation of the Federal Reserve system ( a private cartel to this day), America found itself with a Money Machine that could print _massive_ amounts of interest-bearing dosh - at the American taxpayer's expense, naturally - and _endless_ amounts when it came off the Gold Standard in 1933, thanks to the saintly Mr Roosevelt (who later made a bundle for his banker friends in WW2). Uncle Sam has never given _anything_ away without entirely mercenary motives ("In Mammon We Trust"), and did very nicely, thank you, out of BOTH World Wars, while the UK paid dearly, virtually to the point of bankruptcy. So yes, in that _qualified sense_ , you are perfectly correct😀
It is a horrible thought but you and me probably wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the British. Our ancestors may not have survived to create us.
The catholic church started free education for the poor. The church of England only joined in after when they complained to King George to stop them before they made Papist's out of the poor, the King said " if you don't like it, educate them your self".
I went to catholic schools and I learnt to not just think for my self but to research and debate. My first two junior schools were state and they were rubbish. If you've had a bad experience, I'm sorry.
@@maureen348 So ... Galileo was definitely no prevented from thinking? What happened in this country, where other parties have controlled what is considered "the norm", is not representative of what happened in other countries where the Catholic church imposed whatever they wanted as "the norm". Recall the burning of so-called heretics, the institutionalised support for Fascist dictators, and the covering-up of child-rape within the Catholic church.

Did you know that Stephen Hawking only developed the Big Bang theory first put forward by a cosmologist called Georges Lemaites, decades before hand who happened to be a Belgian priest, they called him the father of the Big Bang theory. Hawking was quite happy to acknowledge that.
Dude you have managed to make a very interesting video into a bore by your comments! So, advice, just listen watch and learn without your ignorant comments which only highlight your lack of scientific knowledge! ✌️
"The British crusade against slavery " is a must watch.

There were many great inventors from Europe but British inventors were responsible for so many great inventions
Hovercraft.

No they were all British born and bred.
None of the scientists were foreign. Only Leibnitz the mathematician was named. Also, we didn't sell our inventions, we spread them out to the world.
Don't forget great comedy. Not bragging or anything but its pretty important.

Britain had the brains, America had the money to develop

Theres are a lot of amazing german scientists and inventors too but yea most of these guys were british.

kicked us out but set u up, teenagers act up but ul settle it time XD
There were no German names mentioned.
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!!!
That would probably be because the video is about British inventions, and by implication British inventors.
@@istvanglock7445 Mr Dyce said he thought some of the inventions were German.
Leipnitz was
@@dorothysimpson2804 Missed that one. Are you sure he wasn't Welsh? 😉
The British had the advantage that they did not have the Catholic church telling them what to think.

@@maureen348 How is catholic church education different from them telling people what to think?
