Hi, you've made it to my 2nd channel 👋 Here I will post videos that focus on books and historical science documents. I want to keep my main channel (@tibees) focused on explainers
LOVE IT! WOO!
This was awesome as usual :D
Will support both🎉
Loving this format and the new channel!
Cool channel :^)
At my age of over 70, I have heard many times of this Exhibition and the building that housed it, but this is the best coverage of what was actually involved I have seen.
The internet can be really wholesome
Very good indeed, but the Crystal Palace was in fact moved to Sydenham in south London, where it eventually burned down. Hyde Park was where it was built originally.
"Have you fed the Storm Prognosticator dear?"
"Thanks for reminding me, dear. I'll get a house maid."
The Crystal Palace has intrigued me for a long time. Even being born in the 21st century, it seemed like a marvel. I can’t imagine how one would have felt looking at it in the 1800s
An amazing story that no one ever heard about! I'm old enough to have attended Expo '88 in Brisbane.
My grandad remembered seeing it burning. Great pity, I'd love to be able to go and see it. It was originally in Hyde Park but then moved to an area of south London which by an amazing coincidence was called Crystal Palace 😀
The area around the V&A, Natural History Museum etc. is unofficially referred to as Albertopolis.
There was a great exhibition in 1951, the centenary, on the South Bank of the Thames although I believe it was more entertainment focused rather than being scientific, technological and industrial.
crystal palace was build in Hyde park for the exhibition later was moved to another area ( Sydenham ) where it burned down that area is still known and called crystal palace .
palace ….I didn’t burn in hyde park
Ok I have no clue why I was recommended this but I am so glad I was!! Amazing video and great info.
Old world architecture is neat. I watched a video on the same building earlier, how funny to find it now again.
My mind is not for math. Glad you’ve started a second channel, really digging the topics chosen here so far.
To give a little historical context, this was just two years after the final repeal of the Corn Law, a tax on food that had kept the majority of the UK population living hand to mouth. After that repeal, many were able to participate more fully in the economic life of the country. Many of those who had agitated for the change were identified with Industry (particularly non-conformist cotton kings and other factory-owners) against the aristocrats and land-owners. There was a new sense of oprimism and belief in the compassion of society. Except in Ireland where, by the time of the Great Exhibition, they had been starving, dying and fleeing from the Great Famine for the last six years. The cause was a combination of potato blight and the barbaric policies of the British government.
this was a great video. I loved it.
Well that 1851 World's Fair was fascinating ! I wonder how the many inventor's who were in attendance went home to produce many inventions related to what they had seen.
In the World's Fair of 1900, Tesla attended and never went home.
Tesla had such a remarkable mind that he could "see" electric motor magnetic fields rotating in his imagination. He went on to invent a whole branch of mathematics that was applicable to the analysis of electrical circuits. Tesla picked 60 cycles per second for the power line frequency because it was a trade off between transmission equipment and the electric motor.
One small mistake at 10:48. The new location was in South London next to Sydenham Hill. Hyde Park is were it was built originally.
Keep the good work up
I subscribed!
The Crystal Palace must have been an incredible building to visit in itself.
All that glass and iron is just a giant leap in building methods.
This was interesting, thanks.
I love this content. Please do more science history!
Amazing story 😊🥰
Thank you for the video! One question I have is wasn't the final location of the crystal palace in south london in Sydenham Hill rather than hyde park? The models of the dinosaurs you see at 10:52 are still there in the since renamed crystal palace park.
Sorry if you've answered this elsewhere, but do you have a system for the colored tags? (as seen at 4:32)
Which city are you from? I ask this because you have a very interesting accent that sounds very distinct from other Australian accents.
Whoa. I had no idea Babbage was so opposed. Perhaps a 280 character screed would have consumed fewer resources.
In pre-internet days such gatherings were of greatest import. As a child I went to the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.
There was a line to sit in a car where one could make a call, but this was less interesting than the large Rubix Cube.
Lovely tribute Tibbs.. And another reason to support Crystal Palace FC :)
nice try lol
Using insects to detect things goes back further than I thought. Today they use bees to detect explosives. :o ua-cam.com/video/_T7d0bze4kM/v-deo.html
Oh wow this is supremely calming. And the images are beautiful and well proportioned in a way we never see anymore. I really miss these traditionally designed images.
The visual landscape where I live is scattered with ugly housing from end-to-end. Very expensive, ugly houses. It is insane how much money people will spend to live in a house where everything ranges between a hideous eye-sore, to something that has all the right features, but they're all slightly off and were arbitrarily designed.
Computers have encouraged people to be incredibly lazy with their design work, and actually frustrated attempts to make something beautiful, because the tools were never built with these designs in mind.
So, uh, thank you!
Basically the successful version of the millennium dome ?
Also discovery of dinosaurs was announced.
Nope it was 10y before by Richard Owen.
Wow Babbage yeah oh my crazy fire wow - interesting that it was so lucrative and the royals etc managed to use this money quite well however perceived - could a special amusement park and similar tax today be used to benefit museums and education etc whoa!?💯💯💯💯💯🤯🗽☮️💟🥰😘😍🌈🤩🌞🚀🌌♾♾♾🎬🎬🎬…
summit to see
Tibees!! my day is perfect!! 😁these industrial expos in the 19th century are so wild to read about these days. just makes me wonder if your average joe from downtown paris could visit or if these were more by-invite, pay per view sorta thing only
Thousands if not hundreds of thousands attended these fairs! And their American counterparts.
“Salty”? Oh, no… Teenage years flashbacks.
How can the poetic mind not see the charred twisted remains of the palace, and the inferno that ended its existence, as foreshadowing of the demise of all that absurd overconfidence about colonialism and technology? It was obviously amazing, nothing taken away from your precis here... but yeah...
Good vid, horrid rising inflection.
Lore of this victorian tech expo was unhinged momentum 100
Why in this channel?
You should make ASMR
Schweppes Indian tonic water is one of my favourite beverages. I like the bitter-sweet taste
Great video, did you do a degree in mathematics or physics though?
