She was one tough woman. Living to 67 with all that radiation exposure. Just think how long she could have lived sans exposure. Humble beginnings can be a great motivation for hard work and achieving goals.
Yeah she was exposed to ridiculous amounts of radiation. Notably her notebooks and even her cookbook are kept in a led container, because they are very radioactive. Marie was buried in a led lined casket because her body was radioactive.
I think you missed a critical fact. She was the first (not sure if the only) person, not man, person, to win Nobel prizes in two different disciplines of science, both physics and chemistry. I’m not sure if anybody has done that since. But it is a noteworthy fact of her achievements. Also, she was almost denied the prize because she was a woman and the committee was going to give it to her husband alone. I think that needs to be added to her bio. She was not only an extraordinary woman scientist, but extraordinary by any standard.
@@claudemaassen2963 yes, but the 2 other people who won 2 Nobels have been in the same field (John Bardeen for Physics, twice; Fredrick Sanger for Chemistry, twice). The Nobel is considered being at the pinnacle of your field. Imagine mastering 2 to the same height, which is why her win in 2 different fields is even more remarkable. She's the only one along with Linus Pauling to have ever won 2 in 2 different fields in history (Pauling won for chemistry and then for something not really scientific, but mostly his activism during the cold war, which made him win one for peace). Marie Curie is the only one to have ever won in two entirely different fields of science. She's the boss of bosses! These four double Nobels are known as the Magnificent Four! :)
Yes, she was an incredibly gifted woman. More unusual back then, when most European institutes considered unintelligent and incapable of understanding science. To receive not one but two Nobel Prize just shows how remarkable she was.
So you're saying we should ignore errors in science because the people who find them are mean and meticulous? I'd hate to break it to you, but truth from someone you dislike is still truth. And if your work has errors in it, it's not truth.
You should look up "Philosophy of science". Science is all about testing theories /= trying to find the foults in a (better to say your) theory. In other words, the only way to prove your theory is to try find the errors (hopefully not finding it) in it.
No, basically, don't be an arrogant, spirit-killing asshole … I have worked with brilliant scientists that made people think they chose the wrong path of life … that should be recriminated, does not matter how outstanding the perpetrator is …
I think she said this because of the backlash from those who thought she shouldn't be in science because she was a woman. They weren't interested in facts or truth. They just wanted to discredit her and that's not science.
@@julianfitz806 No theories are proven. They are tested. They can be shown to be false if they conflict with experiment. But agreement with experiment does not prove a theory.
As I mentioned in my comment (It came later than yours so look above) I first heard of the heroin on this story in about the 4th grade. Even though my focus on the biographies we were required to produce was totally different I found Marie Curie very fascinating because of her work in x-rays. Staticlmage, I think you & I have stumbled onto a great UA-cam channel.
Just wept for her loss and stoicism. Pierre knew her "worth." And she honored him as he would have expected. Such a pair, true "Scientists." Thank you for this, I have always loved "biographies," and this is a rare gem.
Thruthsabre7 you are so correct .... I could see the right writer doing something with her life for the big screen. I would probably not be a block buster .... but I bet it would make some money AND an impact. Dang I wish I had 10 mil.
Truthsabre7 there is! Greer Garson made a hit film about her life in the 1940’s. It’s very good, too. I dare not think about how ridiculous they would make a biopic today. It would star someone who overuses the word ‘like’ constantly, and they would throw an affair or two in for good measure. All that science stuff would be glossed over too, because everything is now marketed towards morons who would undoubtedly find her true life story ‘boring’. Honestly it’s worth checking out ‘Marie Curie’ with Garson and Walter Pidgeon, if you’re interested.
Australian waste-of-oxygen, Yahoo Serious did make a movie about the romance of Marie Curie (who had a French accent) with him, a Tasmanian by the name of Albert Einstein … don't ask.
Marie Sklodowska-Curie as this great woman herself always insisted on to be called. And that exact name is on the Nobel Prize certificate. Both of them to be exact.
I live in Poland. There is a commemorative 20 Polish Złoty bill with Marie's face on it. It's a collectors item, and as far as I know, it's still worth face value. I think it should be in normal circulation. She deserves to be on Polish money!
What a happy coincidence. I'm just halfway through reading a biography on Marie Curie, and I came across Simon's biographics. Kudos to Simon and team for such an excellent rendering of M Curie's life.
Not only did she train people in medical treatments in WW1 but for a while she actually worked in a field hospital. That is humility, humanity, and care!
One of my favorite women of history: Marie Curie. I’m so glad you guys made a video of her and gave her the honor that she needed. I remember dressing up as her costume parties and people wonder why. Now I know that I can just direct them to this video. Thanks once again
Imagine having a partner who was so dedicated to working with you as a peer as the two of them were. It seems like when he died, she didn't just lose her husband, but her best friend, and scientific partner. What all-encompassing devastation!
Madame Curie is probably one of the most remarkable persons in the history of mankind. I realize that the fact that she's simultaneously a female and a world class scientist would qualify her for that label nonetheless. Nowadays, her reputation is solidly established because of those two facts. She was a female. Se was a world class scientist. Nowadays, those two facts work together towards her reputation. Back in the early 20th century, those two facts worked *AGAINST* each other. It's sad, it's stupid and it probably says bad things about us as a species, but during Marie Curie's lifetime, her gender actually worked against her odds of having her achievements acknowledged during her own lifetime. Which just makes the fact that her achievements *WERE* acknowledged during her lifetime more impressive, if you ask me. As far as I know, this is the first time me - or anyone else, for that matter, have put this in writing - but "If Mrs Thatcher was the iron lady, Mrs Curie was the Lead Lady".
"The Iron Lady" refers to Thatcher's resistance to pressure and strain. Lead is, in that sense, soft and malleable. That is not an accurate description of Curie.
These videos are wonderful. I know they're constrained by the particular format of UA-cam but the depth they contain is more than what one would expect from something produced by National Geographic or one of the many science/history devoted tv channels. The presentation isn't obtuse but it still covers the more important aspects the subject's lives. Keep up the great work.
Its incredible to think of how much she was able to accomplish with hard work and a love of science shes a huge inspiration to me thanks for the great bio
Gret episode! but i think you should've added (as you repeatedly say how she loved Poland) that even after marriage she kept her maiden Polish surname, and her name was Marie Skłodowska-Curie, not just Curie
It's interesting that here in Czech Republic she's mostly known as Marie Curie-Sklodowska. Every nation seems to model her name by some internal standard. She was hardcore hero of science under any name.:-)
Vojtěch Ptáček Poles call her Curie-Skłodowska occasionally too But it’s considered a language error, since in Polish, when there are double surnames, the maiden name is written first
My grandfather told me a similar story, but he couldn't understand the russians. So he had them speak polish to tell him to stop speaking polish. Tru troll
Unfortunately, those drones have been nothing but frustration for Simon. The first one didn't work right and the second one was, apparently, stolen... as well as broken, prior to his acquisition. He tried to give it back, but nobody ever told him where to send it, as I recall. (It was all in Simon's vlogs way back when he was doing vlogs.) You have been warned. Don't talk about the drones! ;-) Hahaha!
Simon and Crew: You have no idea how welcome your interesting and informative videos are. I am a fan of non-fiction in general and biographies in particular; they are delightful jewels of knowledge. Thank you.
This channel is incredibly fascinating! From the not so famous, to the famous, to the infamous, it’s very interesting to learn the stories about all these people!
Omg, that video is SO good! ... What an amazing woman. I had this video in my list for a couple of weeks, and now it simply started itself after another video was over. Actually, I meant to go to bed - but those were 20 minutes well spent. :-)
Always an amazing video, that feels well researched. As a note to Simon, I know you do a lot of narration for other channels, and I really hope this channel is your attempt to start your own channel. You've always done such great work for all the other channels that I knew it'd only get better if you had complete control over format, duration, story, editing etc. This seems to be a combination of things I've seen you work towards on other channels and love that it's all come together for these Biographics.
I once remembered that Marie and Einstein knew each other and get along quite well. I guess it takes one physician to understand another one, Now I am imagining if Newton live in their time.
Thank You Simon for all your hard work on these high quality videos. I extra appreciate you making so many great videos about empowering historical women! They are sadly left out of the story of our pasts often. Keep up the great work!
it should be "Maria Skłodowska-Curie" correctly! Why, for example, is widely recognized - James Clerk Maxwell, and the double name of Maria is forgotten ...
wow what a great lady my mind blown away ... !! a massive thanks to Simon... one of my fav youtuber... after visial poliks .. work on biography is just amazing
She was a vtrue "feminist". The world thanks you Marie Curie. I wish my fellow girls & women would strive to be more like her than the Nicki Minaj, cardi B, Kardashians, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga's of the world. Thats my opinion. Like it or leave it.
Incredible woman. i had no idea how dynamic she was. considering her work with radium and uranium, i'm amazed she had such a long life. it was wonderful that it didn't seem to effect her second daughter. Unfortunately, like many "inventors" (Tesla), businessmen made the fortune, not the Curies. but - two Nobel prizes - how many people have had that distinction?
Great as always! Can i put my vote out for you to do daniel o'connell.. One of irelands greats and an intesting man, but i am guessing not too famous internationally. Thought i would put it in your ear anyway
I used to work at a comic book shop, and we used to show promotional material. One was a trailer for a comic about a group of assassins called "The Family Trade". Why do I bring this up? Well, the song you used was also in the trailer for the comic. Now, I won't be able to think of Marie Curie without thinking of a comic book with a lot potential that was wasted on a lackluster character and story. Thanks for that! Joking aside: Great video
You did an excellent job of explaining the importance of her/their work at the physics level. The recent movie “Radioactive” could have used your help. (a high energy physicist)
Really....The story about the GREAT legend 'Marie Curie' achievements in her life and the life sacrifice she has done which we can cherish them. I am glad that my daughter has got a chance in her school to a write a Biography of Marie Curie and the big day is tomorrow she is going to present before all the parents. In that way I got Introduced to this great LADY !!!! LOVE from USA.

@@Jakeonkuningas Perhaps she was only exposed to small amounts at a time and over the course of years, her body built up a resistance...
@@joshglover2370 then why did she die?? And I highly doubt it's possible to build up resistance to Radioactivity. (Just my opinion)
True 😊.
@@Viridian02 around 17:00 he says her cause of death. The amount of radiation over time caused her anemia and cataracts.

Marie Curie has always been such an inspiration to me! She worked so hard under very difficult circumstances even just to get her education.

One of your best Simon. Shared their discovery and hated fame, should I laugh or cry.
Maria Sklodowska-Curie
Up!
I know
So she could barely speak French but was top of her class? Damn she was brilliant
Especially since French is such a difficult language.
She was a really smart lady;)
Only not well, and not for long.
Her French improved to fluency during her studies. She also spoke several other languages.
Mr Simon,
You are reminiscent of my best University professors, from many days gone by.
Not only did they teach but they illuminate and inspire.
What a happy coincidence. I'm just halfway through reading a biography on Marie Curie, and I came across Simon's biographics. Kudos to Simon and team for such an excellent rendering of M Curie's life.
Heck of a woman, Madame Curie was. Her legacy will last in the scientific community until there isn't one.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie* She was proud of her heritage, you shouldn't erase it.

Best take I've seen on her. She was brilliant and she was just fantastic. One of my heros.

Thatcher called herself the Iron Lady as political propaganda. Most of us in UK call her something rude.

Such a brilliant, loyal woman who died from her hard work. What a sacrifice and legacy.
Love and really enjoy biographies of science legends. Pasteur and Madame Curie are two of my favorites thus far. Please do more of the same.
What a boss, great advances to humanity by her hard work, hunger for knowledge and selfless service.
A minute in and I want a biography about her mother. 5 kids, TB, and manages a school for girls? BEAST MODE FULL TIME

She is a person that bring up as a role model to my students. Interestingly enough, female students pick up the information way more passionately.

Really cool episode, Simon.!
In the 80's I had a very old secretary who claimed that her husband was the last reasearch assistant of Marie Curie.
One of my role models. She did it all!
All her life she was so dedicated to her country and now, majority of people thinks she was French. She wouldn't be happy to se that.
I love this channel!

i generally am! Specially when you cover the most genious Serb ever! makes me feel proud of my people! love the channel!

but - two Nobel prizes - how many people have had that distinction?
Thanks for this great documentary!
One thing you missed about her burial:
Her tomb had to be lined with lead because her body was radioactive (and I believe still is).
A truly wonderful and amazing and gifted woman!!!!🙏🙏🙏
I love this Biographics lesson.
Excellent biographic on such an amazing person; I've respected Marie Curie since I was a grade-schooler.
Great as always! Can i put my vote out for you to do daniel o'connell.. One of irelands greats and an intesting man, but i am guessing not too famous internationally. Thought i would put it in your ear anyway
I burned my food because of this video. You owe me a meal Simon !
This helped me on my project! Thanks!
There's a street on the Ottawa university campus named after her, and a building as well.
I used to work at a comic book shop, and we used to show promotional material. One was a trailer for a comic about a group of assassins called "The Family Trade".
Why do I bring this up? Well, the song you used was also in the trailer for the comic. Now, I won't be able to think of Marie Curie without thinking of a comic book with a lot potential that was wasted on a lackluster character and story.
Thanks for that!
