One of the best parts of our work at Socratica is we get to learn about complicated, fascinating people like Thomas Edison. We'd love to hear who else you would like to learn about. Who should we do a biography on next?
I’m from Brazil and I have trying learn English from you tube. I found your channel and it’s amazing. The best you tube channel I have ever whatched. Thanks a lot!
Edison was an American entrepreneur. I don't know if he was born in Mexico or not, but he was not Mexican. If he had remained there he would ended up making burritos and tacos, LOL.
Su nombre original era Tomás Alva Edison, y es mexicano, nació en un pueblo del estado de México, que con el paso de su infancia se mudó al estado de Zacatecas en México, y a la edad de los 11 años emigra a estados unidos. Eso que dicen que nació en estados unidos es mentira, ya que no tienen un registro de acta de nacimiento de aquel país.

The grieving factor is that I am in the grade of the children of Ellon musk after being in the grade of job of Ellon musk is the reason for love failure.
Thomas Alva Edison had 6 children, but not all with Mary Stilwell. They had the first three together, and then Mary died after being very ill. Then Thomas A. Edison married Mina Miller, and they had three children together. His laboratories caught fire twice in his life, ironically, given the fact that he invented crucial components of fire alarms.
Thank you !!! Since you are knowledgable about Thomas Edison, I thought I would share the fact that his youngest son Theodore, married my cousin ( Anna Osterhout ).. I am glad all of my "older relatives" have passed away, due to the current "fad" of stating Thomas Edison was "Mexican"..
Ah! Fantastic! I grew up in New Jersey and had visited Edison's lab in West Orange, NJ several times! I enjoyed walking through his lab looking at all of the colorful bottles of chemicals that were still on the shelves. I had also visited the Black Maria and his manufacturing plant. My grandmother was employed by Thomas Edison. Thank you for creating this wonderful and informative video...it certainly brings back memories!
Tracy, that's amazing! Your grandmother must have had some great stories! We're looking forward to visiting the Edison National Historical Park one day - looks like a really wonderful place with interesting exhibits.
You'd really love the Edison National Park in West Orange, NJ and Menlo Park is only about a 20-minute drive away and has a museum and a tower erected in Edison's name. Highly recommend you watch the 1940's film *Edison the Man* with Spencer Tracy! When you visit Edison's lab, let me know and I can meet you there! Thanks again my friends!
Well done! Some thoughts about other great thinkers to profile- Ben Franklin-well known and versatile, but there is much about him that is myth. Could approach it from that perspective, maybe. George Washington Carver-not so well known. Galileo-if I have it right, he was persecuted for being a great thinker. Newton-Newtonian physics enabled the development of engineering, which enabled the Industrial Revolution, which enabled... You could also do something on the concept of a "Renaissance 'man'." These days, there is a lot of emphasis on choosing a dedicated focus for your life so that you can excel, and outcompete your peers, to win a spot at a prestigious school, so you can excel, and outcompete... and so on. The Renaissance man pursued a mix of art, science, music, sport, literature, and nature. I believe that these complemented one another and enabled him to think in ways that he would not have if he had solely pursued one to the exclusion of others (engaging both hemispheres of the brain, and all that). Just an idea.
Edison was so revered as an inventor that Edison used this fame to play the ultimate April Fool's prank. This April Fool's prank involved announcements, which were picked-up by the press and radio media, that Edison had invented a means of communicating with the dead. This great prank was spread throughout much of the world, and widely believed - until it was revealed as an April Fool's prank. Best regards, Robert N. Schlesinger
The truth is more astonishing of how the greater piece person to see. Is difficult to distinguish the true value through the chronologically history...
Edison helped humanity more than Tesla could do in his 3 lifetimes. HVDC making comeback, Tesla bimbos forget their great lord is the one who mocked relativity quantum physics relativity radioactivity so on so on. He was a great showman and a engineer, Tesla and Edison never had issues, Tesla wrote fondly about Edison, it always was Westinghouse vs Edison. Edison lost his company, they cut his name from his own company. Most people don’t have capacity to understand these tech behind all, most blind Tesla fans can’t even understand Teslas own formulas.
Você deixar muito mal explicada a questão da saída dele da escola, dando ao entender que a mãe o tirou por vontade própria, quando na verdade a mãe não teve escolha já que a escola o mandou embora.
Nit-picky correction: The name of the town in Michigan where he lived as a boy is PORT Huron, not Point Huron. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Huron However, Liliana de Castro is a wonderful host, as always, so it's a forgiveable mistake. :)
Oh my goodness. Looks like we said it right in one place and whiffed it in the other. Our apologies to the good people of Port Huron! Thanks for *pointing* that out! :D
As I have your attention, you probably came across some of this in your research, and it was definitely outside the scope of a short overview video, but Edison's mania for protecting his patents, by means both legal and not, drove a lot of innovation in the early film industry, and eventually drove the industry to Hollywood as a way of avoiding his hired thugs and lawyers. Should you ever do a series on something as trivial as Hollywood history, that could be useful. :)
Woooo how beautiful you are and the way you speak is more beautiful then you...... i love you and the way you make me educated..... Alas you were my teacher.....
Very true !! Thank you for not telling people that he was "Mexican".. Edisons youngest son ( Theodore ) was married to my cousin ( Anna Osterhout ). I am thankful all my older family members have passed away, because they would not appreciate all the stupid accusations the Thomas Edison was "Mexican"...
i miss my childhood.thomas alava edison..first ive heard his name in school..science subject..so amazing guys..i want to go back the time when he create a ligth bulb
@@JoseMedina-ob4mf You need an education. Thomas Edisons youngest son Theodore, married my cousin ( Anna Osterhout ).. You should know who you are abusing and telling to "SHUT UP"... I am an actual relative and you may have to deal with legal repercussions..
They even don't get moved even after Ellon musk is found in street fights , the reason the reason of benefits. or is not comforted as his family practices his vulnerable childrens of benefits. or even after found in lady victims categories in movie stored, even then they don't get moved, what I request they contrary to that aggravates such condition. now get reflected for harms you did, your own harms.

Tomas Alva Edison wasnt born in USA!
He was born in Zacatecas Mexico!

Respect Nikola Tesla.

🖤💜❤
Tesla was a clown, his mouth was one million times bigger than his brain.
Mexican inventor. Alva isn’t a middle name but rather a last name. It wouldn’t be the first time history is twisted and manipulated.
Jorge I totally agree with you, he born in sombrerete Zacatecas!
Mexican? LOL! Mexicans have only invented burritos and tacos.
You helped me with my assignment I'm going to get the best grade thank you
Good luck!! 💜🦉

What do you call a stolen Tesla?
An Edison.
You have a beautiful voice; It makes the story more interesting.
Actually, the master mind behind many o those breakthroughs was the great Nikola.
Yes! ❣️

You should do a biography on Theodore Roosevelt!!
Love this idea. We're so thankful for the US National Parks.
Yes please! ❣️

Thomas Edison or Nicolas Tesla? Alternative current was invented by Tesla as most of invention of Edison.

Tesla rules! Edison was ambitious tief!
The murderer on an elephant 😔
@@teddy_miljard he actually paid children to theif and Tesla's neighbours dogs and cats and publicly electrocuted them. Insane.🙏
Thank you socratica
The flax was rolled in "fuller's earth" and then fired in a kiln. Making a COMPOSITE! This is why it has strength and stability.
If this person had never been born, we would have had free electricity.
Respect for Tesla
Wow! ❣️

Edison was not an inventor, he is just a investor.
He invented the electric chair. So sad 😔

Always awesome.
We loved the chance to learn more about this complicated person! :D Thanks for your kind comment.
Unknown facts covered 👍
Flushed with pride!!!

Loved it
Joseph Swan implemented his successful light bulbs before Edison succeeded. However, Swan did it for fun.
When times go by, we can read stories how Edison invented fire? 🤭
Light bulb moment!!! 💡
Great as usual.. Thanks.

Edison is great scient USA patriot, for better understanding he made "bread" for others to can play to made and making " cake." and "cookies".
keep making more videos.....
Nice 💞
Thanks socratica
Thank you, for watching!! :D
Shout out to everyone who named their kid's "Dot and Dash", or after anything else they invented.
