I had the good fortune to meet one of the earlier (and incredibly prolific) science explainers: Isaac Asimov. While he's usually described as a Science Fiction writer, he was also a science educator. He couldn't have been more gracious and I treasure my signed copy of the Foundation Trilogy :-)
A lot of homes were burned down by those festive christmas-tree candles - Edison’s application saved lives (at the holidays). Thank you, ‘science explainer’.

I follow most of those already. Some additional science channels I like include: PBS Space Time, Kurzgesagt, The Science Asylum, Dr. Becky (astrophysicist), Mark Rober (mechanical engineer), MinuteEarth and MinutePhysics.
Can we get an updated version of this video that just focuses on the subject the entire time? I enjoyed the video but I don't feel like I learned what I came here to learn. Going to go watch some other videos now to get that info.
Mendicant Bias that makes the history of it even more interesting. If it’s not considered legitimate in the field of psychology, why do people still know about it and use it in self-help, schools, and businesses?
Because it was very well designed and sold to look scientific as well as give satisfying answers (which the Big 5 test doesn't, and is not designed to) at a time when there wasn't much of any good alternatives. But fair enough, it would make a good topic.
Edison also had stray animals electrocuted and placed around town to try and get Tesla's alternate current questioned as he, Edison, had only direct current.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn which was shame too bad one of the actresses who were in thralled with Tesla didn't get him to meet with a showman where this actress and Tesla could show his work.
UA-cam channels I like to watch: Smarter everyday, Its ok to be smart, Vsauce 3 (Vsauce 1 is too long for me), and I watched Beakmans World when I was a kid
Although regarded as "one of the greatest scientific discoverers of all time", Faraday was a devout Christian, and as such, is seen as less than human in this new PC world. His reputation must be ignored and his contributions downplayed.
Googl SelzmiyinIt is obvious what side of history this one is on :(. Nauseating to observe. Edison as all the rest, stole the inventions of others. I suppose she believes Ford invented the automobile. Sad.
This vid was more about science explainers than who invented the lightbulb (which they did acknowledge Edison wasn't the first). If anything, you should be criticizing them for not acknowledging things like the Royal Society's public outreach efforts and stuff.
I generally agree with you, but I've got to interject, "Say it ain't so, Dr. Tyson!" We'll have to wait for the evidence and analysis, and in any event we can still love his artistic science no matter what. Hell, I still kind of like Kevin Spacey, and he was way worse.
I wonder what it must have been like to experiences electricity for the first time. It must have be how we would react to anti gravity once it gets invented.
Easy... Dr. Joe Hanson inspired me to pursue Theoretical Physics... and although I'm nowhere near there, when I have children, we will watch his show together! Thank you PBS
The picture of Edison with the huge globe with electrical twisted wire in it around the 6:00 mark, is that a plasma ball of Edison's version or just a gigantic light bulb? Great episode, Thank you. You packed so much information into this one!
Fairy lights were invented in England by Swan. 1st used in a stage production where ‘fairies’ on stage wore a headset and dress lit with small lights from a battery pack.
In computer science, there is a famous video called The Mother Of All Demo, by Douglas Engelbart (known for his invention of the mouse computer) in 1968, featuring " video conferencing, teleconferencing, hypertext, word processing, hypermedia, object addressing and dynamic file linking, bootstrapping, and a collaborative real-time editor.". Way ahead of this time ! ua-cam.com/video/yJDv-zdhzMY/v-deo.html Wasn't meant to the pubic though, it was more for universities research. www.wikiwand.com/en/The_Mother_of_All_Demos
Ummm everyone knows that Edison was scared of Tesla's AC (alternating current) & was hell-bent on using DC (direct current) to power the grid which was not viable then & is not viable now, which is why we chose Tesla's AC method, & is also the reason why Edison WAS the one electrocuting animals, in order to make an attempt to make everyone else scared of Tesla's AC also. Also Edison never did pay Tesla that 50k he owed him! I really loved this channel until they tried to make someone like Edison look like a good person because he soooo wasn't!
This almost might be better titled "The origin of public scientist" or science educators. I'm not familiar with the term 'explainer video'. I clicked because I knew it would be good TOOE content. :)
... 1:27 I can't help think of the coincidence that the country that nearly exterminated the menorah invented the lighting of Christmas trees with candles...
Great video, although I have to agree with some of the other commenters on here, Edison gets a little too much credit. Although I didn't realize he was such a salesman/showman. That explains a lot. BTW, I just discovered this channel, and am super impressed!
Oh, my god. How much of a nerd am I. All I could think of when she was listing off "my colleagues here on UA-cam" was HOW MANY OF THOSE AM I _SUBSCRIBED_ TO? XD (The answer is: Most of them, + one she didn't mention (probably because it's PBS online but not science): "It's Lit" with Lindsey Ellis. Heh.)
Neil Degrassi Tyson gets smack for demoting pluto but I like to think of it as bring attention to other dwarf planets like Ceres, sedna, haumea, makemake etc.
Viced Rhino is a great debunker of science tomfoolery along with Professor Stick. Today I Found Out/Top Tenz is fun and very accurate. in fact they work hard to be accurate when just being flashy would probably get them more views. Also Simon Whistlers voice is fantastic. Polar Warriors - A channel focusing on Bipolar and the many joys and sorrows it brings. Your videos are amazing and awesome. If you want to look into more cute things how about the history of Anime in the west like why Cartoons from the rest of the world are cartoons but that - its anime.
I wonder exactly what side of history you are on. Listening to this commentary, observing your histrionics and excessive details, you failed to include truth regarding the light bulb. Although much of history is hidden, lights were invented long b4 Edison. We only need to examine history of the ancient world of the Moors of Cardova who were the first to invent street lights etc. More recent was Louis Latimer who invented the shoe last and worked alongside Edison to improve the light bulb’s filament. Yet Edison rushed to the patent office unbeknownst to Latimer, and thereby history attributes the invention to him. Edison was able to create blueprints. It was Louis Latimer who improved the filament which allowed the light to operate much longer than the few seconds of Edison’s design. These men oftentimes, in fact most times stole the inventions of others. The Library of Congress is complicit in the cover-up and mythological narratives by excluding Blacks. You must be more diligent in your research and only deliver truth as this is not. It is apparent whose side you are on, but they are certainly not on yours. Always apply diligence when executing research.

You're jumping the shark a bit here. They mentioned Edison wasn't the first person to invent the lightbulb, he just patented and marketed it. His unscrupulous dealings however aren't the subject of the video.
@Shawna W from a certain point of view sure. But that viewpoint on culture isn't the only one and the term cultural exaptation still has it's uses in the other viewpoints as well.
"May all your Christmases Bea (Arthur)(Betty) White" I love it!!

8:45 Vsauce
Can you make a video where you explain why fruit and veggies are so expensive in the USA?
Can you do the origin of personality tests, like the Myers Briggs test?
Myers Briggs isn't a recognized personality test. The main test used in the field is based on the Big Five model.
Mendicant Bias that makes the history of it even more interesting. If it’s not considered legitimate in the field of psychology, why do people still know about it and use it in self-help, schools, and businesses?
Because it was very well designed and sold to look scientific as well as give satisfying answers (which the Big 5 test doesn't, and is not designed to) at a time when there wasn't much of any good alternatives. But fair enough, it would make a good topic.
Upvoted (not MBTI, but personality tests in general)
What about Tesla's contributions? Didn't Thomas Edison take ideas and inventions and patent just like he did with the movie industry?
Tesla was an inventor, not a showman. Not exactly a proto-science explainer, more at home in a lab than on stage.
Edison also had stray animals electrocuted and placed around town to try and get Tesla's alternate current questioned as he, Edison, had only direct current.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn which was shame too bad one of the actresses who were in thralled with Tesla didn't get him to meet with a showman where this actress and Tesla could show his work.
Hmm how convenient, Thomas elephant killah Edison didn't have Toppsy sentenced to death himself uh just have the poor animal's owners do that 🙄
I always wonder how they put candles in christmas trees without burning the house down?
UA-cam channels I like to watch: Smarter everyday, Its ok to be smart, Vsauce 3 (Vsauce 1 is too long for me), and I watched Beakmans World when I was a kid
Interesting connection between Edison and all my favorite UA-camrs. Thanks for showcasing some wonderful people like Emily Graslie!
Totally missed the opportunity to talk about Michael Faraday's Christmas lectures.
Although regarded as "one of the greatest scientific discoverers of all time", Faraday was a devout Christian, and as such, is seen as less than human in this new PC world. His reputation must be ignored and his contributions downplayed.
Don't tell me Thomas Edison is getting credit for stealing another invention

Shoutout to Neil deGrasse Tyson an inspiration to all.
I generally agree with you, but I've got to interject, "Say it ain't so, Dr. Tyson!" We'll have to wait for the evidence and analysis, and in any event we can still love his artistic science no matter what. Hell, I still kind of like Kevin Spacey, and he was way worse.
My 7th grade science teacher aby White. I never forgot how she was able to explain e=mc square perfectly
No elephants were harmed in this science explanation and demonstration.
I love this womans energy.
I really enjoy this channel! I learn something every time I watch - thank you!
I wonder what it must have been like to experiences electricity for the first time. It must have be how we would react to anti gravity once it gets invented.
We'd probably vomit when we go on anti gravity which is prob not how it went when they saw it but the amazement are probably the same yeah
Easy... Dr. Joe Hanson inspired me to pursue Theoretical Physics... and although I'm nowhere near there, when I have children, we will watch his show together! Thank you PBS

can you do a origin of family christmas cards!?!
Stated Clearly is another great educational youtube channel.
Gotta give shout-outs to the channels of:
1. Issac Arthur
2. Sharkee
3. John Michael Godier
4. Trey the Explainer
5. Your Dinosaurs are Wrong
ContraPoints makes my favorite explainer vids
Thank you science educator!
I grew up watching Mr. Wizard.

I still like Tesla more.

Yes, I still like Tesla more. You don't have to be a showman to be successful or celebrated in history.
@@djcsavato100 Fair enough. However this video is about science explainers, not simply inventors. Hence their choice.
Tesla is my hero.
After actually watching the video, all the science educators spending their time and energy to teach the world is far far better.

it wasn't actually his inventions he was a business man
Can you discuss the origin of juice from concentrate vs. juice not from concentrate?
Thomas Edison is awesome. Without explainer videos, I could not live... sanely.
It's Christmas Lights...Not Xmas
Edison was also one of the biggest crooks ever
a Legend
OMG 'glowy"

What are the sides you're talking about and whose are they on ? Also this probably isn't proven which is why they prefer not to talk about it

Put it in mute and she’s a conductor
Edison did it. No need to watch the whole video.
You know if you're going to talk about cultural exaptation use the term cultural exaptation.
@Shawna W from a certain point of view sure. But that viewpoint on culture isn't the only one and the term cultural exaptation still has it's uses in the other viewpoints as well.
