I'm familiar with Bacon only second hand. Blake commented on him in the margins of Bacon's work. Bacon seems to have been a proto socialist who believed in wage and price controls which Blake believed would not work. Perhaps I should be fair and examine Bacon at first hand, but my sympathy is with the poet and all those whom Plato would reject. (I believe Plato was joking.)
I am a high school science teacher and would love to use this video in my class. However, one of my students is blind and it would be incredibly helpful if I could Braille the script for this episode to help her understanding. Is there any way I can get a transcript?

It's amazing how people still believe there is a grandpa in the sky with a pair of divine binoculars watching them, from his throne deciding their fate...But then again...some people believe in unicorns too...
The whole Christian church does, and all the Christians plus all the Muslims, more than half of the Globe population believes in a grandpa in the sky :) So ignorant! God, Unicorns and Santa Claus have something in common, they all have white hair and they don't exist!
No one believes that God looks like a grandpa, or that he even has a look of a human being. Also if you honestly think that God is among the cloud, like actual clouds above us, then that shows how you atheists have a very childish mindset and are unable to actual understand theology. Only small children and atheists think that God is an actual old guy among the clouds, an idea that would made Thomas Aquinas slap you.
I don't actually believe in any God, that is the stupidest thing I've heard. I don't believe in the bible or any other scripture, especially since all the writings from the old testament were burned by Catholic Priests and then written what ever they wanted...Could never believe a God exists except if one would actually show himself. People lie and cheat, like all the time...The only thing religion was good for is War! I believe in Nature, I believe Buddhists are close to the truth, I am not a Buddhist myself, but they believe in life, not in Gods, I can't remember who said "Is there intelligent life in the Universe? Yes there is, in Asia"! And I am not Asian myself, but they are clearly more intelligent then the plants running around Europe and USA yelling Noah built an Ark and Jesus did miracles and other idiotic Fairy Tales and SciFi stories...

I usually stick to History and Literature crashcourse, but I just happened to click on this in my subscription box and loved it. Entertaining and informative. Thank you!
Galileo? You can't mention Galileo without also talking about Figaro. AND while you're at it can scientists tell us if Scaramouche could do the fandango. What's the point of science if it can't answer that question?
Andy Hartley- Amongst! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as blah blah blah... God, we're such Nerds. oops heresy. Newton, we're such nerds.
Forgot to mention that Galileo gave Pope Urban's views on heliocentrism in the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems to a character called "Simplicio", which had the Italian connotation of "simpleton". So he was kind of asking for harsh treatment there. He was still a pretty good scientist, but he really liked to start fights.
Jaime Nyx actually that's not true and you trying to shift the blame to defend an institution where they tortured and killed and censored people for thinking and advocating heretical ideas shows how idiotic you are
Mario mario You're idiotic for denying historical facts and accepting long debunked misconceptions at face value. Galileo wasn't some enlightened superhuman wrongfully persecuted by a moustache-twirling organisation of evil, he was a petty man that picked up fights with his own patrons. Also the objections to Galileo's hypotheses weren't religious, they were scientific. The consensus of his time still prefered a geocentric model of the universe, because the proofs of heliocentrism were still sparse. It took the science few more decades and works of Newton to shift to a new paradigm. Most of the astronomers of the early 17th century were still devoted geocentrists. Stating that it was a bad or backwards thing that Galileo's ideas were scrutinised by his peers is a prime example of a hindsight bias.
Stop spreading lies. Galileo's trial had less to do with religion and more with science. The old myth that church was anti science and that Galileo was some hero of rationalism is debunked long ago. One of Galileos closest disciples was even a monk named Benedetto Castelli. The Catholic Church provided more support for scientific research then any other institution and their universities are among the finest till this day. Stop spreading anti Catholic bigotry and learn actual history for once you deluded moron.
Mario mario I'm not saying the church didn't do some effed-up stuff around this time (though as others in this thread have pointed out, it wasn't as simple as "religion vs science", and I'll add that witch trials heavily influenced the development of the scientific method), but I didn't lie about the Simplicio thing. Galileo was a complex figure, not merely a "hero of science". He would be the modern equivalent of a radical string theorist trying to start rap battles with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Pope Francis.
It doesn't matter if other scientifically minded people thought his ideas were wrong. You don't lock someone up for having a different theory of stellar motion. If you do that, regardless of your supposed reasoning, you are a harmful organization. Unless you are disputing the fact that he was put on trial and put under house arrest, there isn't any ground to stand on that the church was definitely in the wrong.
I am finishing up my Astronomy class this week, but nobody has mentioned this story about Galileo writing the beautiful and profound statement to the Duchess. I am going to post this on my wall! Thank you for sharing!! And now we know it’s not actually Turtles All The Way Down (couldn’t help it, sorry! Great book, btw!)
Galileo's time as a shipwright is well worth mentioning, his time looking at mathematics of rowing and quinqueremes is one of the most important and understated parts of his life, the group of shipwrights at the Arsenal while he was there are easily worthwhile mentioning as their own school of thinking making significant changes to their fields.
I always liked Bacon's brilliantly terse quote, "Nature to be commanded, must be obeyed." If you want to get things done then you have to play by Nature's rules.
This is a good video but I think the way CrashCourse presents Galileo's trial might be a little misleading as it seems to imply that opposition to the Copernican model was solely based on religious bias. But the majority of the scientific community was not yet convinced of the validity of the Copernican model, either! If the Copernican model were correct, it was argued, there would be evidence of a stellar parallax as seen from Earth. There was no evidence at that time that such a thing existed, though, making Galileo's model problematic.
Agreed. Also there were notions of the lack of reliability of instruments like telescopes which might skew the senses and the continued support of authoritative texts like Aristotle and others with their methods of logical deduction, questioning whether induction was a reliable method of obtaining knowledge.
Also both the Ptolemaic and Copernican models used epicycles, and because Copernicus's epicycles were not as fine tuned as Ptolemy's, his model actually made _worse_ predictions of the locations of the heavenly bodies.
If I remember correctly, Popper has an episode dedicated to his work in the Crash Course Philosophy series, but an additional episode in this series would be appropriate.
Where was Ibn Al-Haythem, Rhazes, and Avicenna? They were, hundreds of years in advance of Europeans, working with rules-based scientific experimentation for their work, using hypotheses, experiments, and drawing conclusions based on results.
I wish we could create a class for our youth, maybe as early as 4th grade, called Epistemology, and apart from Science class. This would change our future to have everyone more critical thinkers and able to take a look at ourselves as humans and how we are affecting the planet. If only I had this when I was young, I wouldn't have struggled so much to figure things out.
"Philosophy is written in this grand book, which stands continually open before our eyes (I say the 'Universe'), but can not be understood without first learning to comprehend the language and know the characters as it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is impossible to humanly understand a word; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth." (Galileo Galilei)
Regarding Galileo's telescope: There are many great science UA-cam shows dealing with the people of science and the ideas of science, but I haven't been able to find any good science UA-cam shows looking at the tools of science. A scientist's tools are their eyes and ears to a world they usually can't perceive. Yet, little mention is made of these fantastic contraptions.
I'm just realizing that most complicated project management methods like Lean Six Sigma (A certification that costs like $400 to get) is basically just the scientific method wearing a hat
Bacon would, in the present climate, be accused of being naive and possibly an extremist, proposing such wild ideas like "The scientific endeavour for new knowledge should not be the realm of a few wealthy people, but should instead be funded by the state, from everybody's contributions, for the good of all".
Aesthetic note, Hank clean your glasses before going one camera. I want to take them off and clean them with my microfiber cloth while listening to a really awesome topic
Isn't Galileo the one who faked a bunch of his data though? Like, the objects falling data, since his theories didn't account for factors like air resistance, which heavier objects with the same surface area can better ignore.
Gregory had reformed the calendar decades before Galileo using Copernicus' data so the Church was not opposed to Coprenican theory per se just at a non theologian/Non clergyman commenting on theological matters. Urban was dealing with the Reformation and so had other matters on his plate. Galileo not only ignored his advice but put Urban's words in the mouth of a character named Stupidio.... and when you're head of the Pontifical science council, biting the hand that feeds you is always a bad move.
Indeed, "Nobody expects The Spanish Inquisition", except... that was their local field office, The Italian Inquisition. Using his telescopes, Galileo spotted them from miles.
Amazing episode, as always! One thing : I thought the presentation of Descartes as a reductionist was a bit misleading. He supported dualism (existence of material and immaterial things) and his whole system rests on the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent God. I know the bit referred to his view on mathematics, but I'd like to see a quote on that.
Which was good, while the Spanish Inquisition was controlled by the Spanish state the Roman one was directly under the pope and thus less prone to using torture and executions.
This kind of show makes me so incredible sad. Why, one might ask. Because it reminds me of something really sad. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years ago, people already knew how to approach discussions, about anything. Coherently, never taking anything for granted/face value, and not believing something just just because he/she/it said. And yet, today, in the age of knowledge, so many people do not act in this manner
phmarriel well....I think thats been the case back then as well. Remember that this series focusses on intelligent people.. not idiots and everyday people
The difference between then and now is that their society had extremely undereducated people and highly educated people, while ours has moderately educated people and highly educated people. Combine that with the fact that every citizen has the right to vote and that geniuses are sometimes found in unusual places, and we get a recipe for a lot of people thinking their opinions are more legitimate than they actually are.
Well, yes..But that is not really what i meant. A LOT of years ago, fire was discovered. Slowly, more and more people learned about it and today, It is used by everyone today. Hundreds of years ago, Calculus was created/discovered. Slowly, more and more people learned about it and today, It is used in pretty much every area of knowledge. Hundreds of years ago people found out that hygiene was a pretty good idea. Today, the """""whole world""""" knows that and """"applies/enforce it"""". In general, technology and basic knowlodge passes on. Starts with only a few people, but eventualy, reaches everyone. This kind of "Coherently, never taking anything for granted/face value, and not believing something just just because he/she/it said" behaviour should be the first thing every children learn. They should learn this before they learn washing their hands is a good idea. An yet, that is not the case. That is what makes me sad
Since the topic is history, explain who invented the very popular modern description of the scientific method as a series of steps. USA students are taught about steps of observation, hypothesis, experiment etc. In searching books in Engish with Google, I don't find any texts of the 1800's and early 1900's using this description. Was it used before the 1950's? As far as powerful historical influences go, I think the inventor of the modern approach has more influence on the average student than Galileo does.
who's all here cuase of your teacher gave you a link to here for class

Really? No mention of "Cogito, ergo sum"?
Sadly, Galileo was brought before the ROMAN Inquisition.
Which was good, while the Spanish Inquisition was controlled by the Spanish state the Roman one was directly under the pope and thus less prone to using torture and executions.

LOl. "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition."
really interesting! thank u

This kind of show makes me so incredible sad. Why, one might ask. Because it reminds me of something really sad.

And yet, today, in the age of knowledge, so many people do not act in this manner
phmarriel well....I think thats been the case back then as well. Remember that this series focusses on intelligent people.. not idiots and everyday people
Friendly reminder that Galileo was literally arrested for disagreeing with the Church repeatedly.
The difference between then and now is that their society had extremely undereducated people and highly educated people, while ours has moderately educated people and highly educated people. Combine that with the fact that every citizen has the right to vote and that geniuses are sometimes found in unusual places, and we get a recipe for a lot of people thinking their opinions are more legitimate than they actually are.
Well, yes..But that is not really what i meant. A LOT of years ago, fire was discovered. Slowly, more and more people learned about it and today, It is used by everyone today. Hundreds of years ago, Calculus was created/discovered. Slowly, more and more people learned about it and today, It is used in pretty much every area of knowledge. Hundreds of years ago people found out that hygiene was a pretty good idea. Today, the """""whole world""""" knows that and """"applies/enforce it"""". In general, technology and basic knowlodge passes on. Starts with only a few people, but eventualy, reaches everyone. This kind of "Coherently, never taking anything for granted/face value, and not believing something just just because he/she/it said" behaviour should be the first thing every children learn. They should learn this before they learn washing their hands is a good idea. An yet, that is not the case. That is what makes me sad
Amen to that

USA students are taught about steps of observation, hypothesis, experiment etc. In searching books in Engish with Google, I don't find any texts of the 1800's and early 1900's using this description. Was it used before the 1950's?
As far as powerful historical influences go, I think the inventor of the modern approach has more influence on the average student than Galileo does.
