It's fascinating to see the difference in style between Rob and Deane, and how they compliment each other. The storyteller Deane's showmanship is balanced by Rob's soothing matter-of-factness.
It's neat how humble this show is. It's all simple learning and fascinating content that thousands adore yet the backdrop is simply a white flag with the shows name pinned to the wall
@CuriosityShow I remember you guys so well from my childhood days back in Germany. Your program was a definitive favourite (despite of the terrible dubbing). Therefore I'd like to thank you and your team for the quality time that you bestowed upon a whole generation. Let's hope that kids of today will be as as spellbound as I was ...
wow. i had forgotten all about this show. i used to love it. it definately created my love for science and the mysterious world of physics. i have to thank you gentlemen with all my heart. you developed the most useful part of my personality. isnt it amazing that two guys with a sheet for a back drop and some pop sticks could do more at educating and inspiring a whole generation of Australians than 12 years of schooling ever could. there are no shows like this today. its all superficial dopemine releasing zombie bulding garbage. EDIT: it seems you were not only played in australia. germany aswell as one man has mentioned. i wonder how many lives you affected.... staggering to think.
My absolute favourite show to watch on a Saturday (or Sunday?) afternoon in the '70s... & better now, as I'm fascinated all over again, having forgotten a lot of the segments. Fanx! for posting!
Thanks. Curiosity Show was a national science program featuring Dr Rob Morrison and Dr Deane Hutton. It was made in Adelaide, South Australia and screened nationally in Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries and dubbed in German for Europe) from 1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house (like old rusty cans) so that people could repeat the demonstrations with materials they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International, the world's top award for TV programs for young people.

So basically he married the ones he wanted to bang, and sent the other ones off thinking fate had the final ruling. That man was a god damn genius lmaoooo
I loved these shows as a teenager. And now suddenly I see where and how and even why my personality was partially formed as a youngster watching these shows. Nowadays of course my unbounded curiosity and solution-finding skills annoy the bejesus out of my wife and daughters.
the one with the half twist is mobius strip. The other with the full twist i cant recall please advise. The mobius strip is used on belt conveyors so the material wears on both sides or i should say one side.
I believe it's still considered a Mobius strip, just a variation of one. At least, when I was a kid I read a book that treated them as different versions of Mobius strips.
@@vara202 no not a major twist on the belt it makes the 180 twist over a distance of several feet supported by idlers . you can google images. im a mechanical designer this common for vary long conveyors.
The Curiosity Show went nuts with those fancy expensive backdrops. The quality of that flag is simply astounding! I remember the old days in black and white where they sat on stools or stood at a table with a bare background.
Nicely done! I watched your series in Germany back then and really enjoyed it. I think, if after tearing the last loop into the long whole one it has a double twist. If you cut it along its long side right at the middle, you should also get two separate circles in the end.
We didn't get this show in the UK (not to my knowledge anyway) we had How, and How2. This is the sort of thing i would have loved as a kid. The great thing about the internet is now kids all over the world can tune in to the magic.

South Aussies have a weird hybrid kiwi vibe about their accent sometimes. Only Aussies I can hear a distinct difference from the rest. We basically all sound the same.
This is a demonstration of entanglement in quantum mechanics innit... You crafty bastards. Hiding the joins behind your hand, all wizard of oz styleee.
I've watched a few of these clips and I definitely would have loved to watch this show growing up. Why does he always call tape "sticky tape"? As far as I know all tape is sticky isn't it?
@@CuriosityShow It must be a U.S. thing, we don’t say sticky when we are putting things together with it , it’s basically understood. Your examples are when we use that word WITH the word tape to differentiate things, measuring tape is a good example, so is crime tape.
@@CuriosityShow cblanton may not be aware The Curiousity Show was on mid afternoon for children and Dean's an the other presenters tailored their level of English for children. Dean would have said adhesive tape if was for adults.

The one thing that called my attention is the way he speaks. He's clear, to the point, and more importantly, he uses correct grammar.
Story goes king Solomon just chose on looks and played this game to make it seem like fate or an easy let down for the unwanted
Hence the wisdom

Also in Austria 😊 Loved it.

This is fascinating…I never realized just how tight mens trousers were 40 years ago.
The Möbius strip tricks were cool too.
That guy was showing off his cakes 30 years before it was a thing
That tearing sound reminds me of a date that went terribly wrong.

Came for circles, stayed for the handsome Australian with the charming accent.
That's just GREAT. Gets you thinking how non-straight-line geometry works. FAB.
I love how most of these experiments can be done with stuff from the recycling bin.

It seems like a good idea to twist the conveyors so they wear more evenly, but wouldn't you get a lot of strain at the twist?

Maybe Solomon was the wisest, but he was never as great as you Deane.
This channel is addicting
It's morbin time
Anyone with 300 wives can be called many things but wise is not among them.
Seems he was a Trickster and didn't leave it to Chance, but so it Favors him.
Not sure why you think 300 wives means he wasn't wise
L Ontivero it's a joke. 300 Headaches. But I guess back then you can beat them. Instead of nagging all the time. LOL.
300 Vs They should make a film about that. =)
He had 700 wives and 300 other women ... Dirty boy !
Just discovering this show; makes me kinda feel like a kid again, and I'm almost 65....
Ah yes, back when tape was tape, and could just hold cloth together all willy-nilly.
King Solomon needs brought up on some charges
So I was showing this trick to my wife and my two teenage step-daughters...
Fuzzybeanerizer ooooh jeeez

What is the best material to use for this trick? I have tried silk, cotton etc but all do not tear neatly or easily. Thanks.
Such an amazing channel, lol I like to watch these when I’m drinking and bored which makes the illusions so much more astonishing 😅
This guy is the science version of Bob Ross
This guy reminds me of an Australian Uncle Rico and it makes me smile.
Back in the day when kids were getting educated.

Amazing
We had Mr Wizard in the US back in the day...shows like that are all gone...
uhh.. there's a thing called PBS, also, back when people werent so stupidly nostalgic.
Mr. Wizard was great.
King Solomon must have been great at slight of hand.
The Mobius Strip (or Mobius Loop) is my favorite shape. It has 1 side and 1 edge in 3 dimensions.
I came here for a different kind of Solomon's circle, but still satisfied. 72/10
Imma pull this one on a date
It's also called Möbius strip
Ian Chappell without the swearing.
ha, true. I hope he keeps doing his radio stint since he's not doing tv broadcasts anymore.
I should use this trick when interviewing job candidates!
love this stuff!! subscribed.
This seems like the kind of, off brand Mr. Wizard character, who you later find out was a serial killer
Thank you for sharing
Solomon was a cheeky chappy.
For a minute there, I thought that story was the origin of the wedding band.
So this is what Uncle Rico is doing after all these years after Napoleon Dynamite
this guy is like spongebob, the other guy is like squidward.
I have learned in other UA-cam videos about what happens when you twist the piece of paper before taping it but this is a really cool use of it.
Next up: how King Solomon invented sticky tape
They used THREAD.
Those trousers are a bit tight.
Is that good or bad?
So entertainingly!
TIL King Solomon had Scotch tape back in the day.
Future watching this like “dam now it’s my turn”
glad to see Charlie Bucket got work after selling the chocolate factory
he didn't 'invent' it - he discovered it
I am definitely gonna use this someday...
Gon be pushin p wid dis one
obviously he didnt invent this but rather gave it a name
this belongs on KQED back when i was kid
great stuff
what year is this?
This made me think of wormholes
He sounds like Korg. Close your eyes.

there's no chance i wouldn't ruin it if i tried to do it.
that's a nice skivvy.
Ohh cool, a Mobius strip.
I wonder what kind of tape King Solomon used. Scotch or 3M
The story was the most interesting part :D
