We're especially excited about this episode because we know that this series is treasured by our most dedicated and long time viewers of the channel. The author of this pinned comment was honestly shocked to consistently see comments asking for a new episode even a year after the last video released. It's quite fitting then that this should be the first video back on TimeGhost after a bit of a lull that we went through. If you haven't heard on the latest breakfast club already, we have a few projects in the works for TimeGhost History. These include more shorts, Between Two Wars, and a special series on The Troubles. We're back baby.

"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." -Newton Also Newton "I am a very humble guy. I am so humble. I am more humble than anybody else I know."
Not sure but to me the first quote seems newton acknowledging him needing the other scientists to reach his success. The other scientists are the giants, and he just stood on their shoulders and used them to his advantage.
Hooke's law is in fact quite important in modern physics after the fact. Turns out, if you take a system governed by Hooke's law (shall we call it a harmonic oscillator) and try to study it as a quantum system we get very interesting results. The energy levels of the oscillator are quantized (as quantum physics predicts) and more surprisingly, the minimum energy isn't zero! This is the zero point energy, and cosmological models say this "minimum energy" distorts spacetime (as it's predicted by relativity). Also, Quantum Field Theory considers fundamental particles to be excitations of a harmonic oscillators. So in hindsight, Hooke has planted a lot of seeds.
So glad this series is still going! And thanks for the The Baroque Cycle suggestion. My parents love historically informed novels about scientists and researchers, so you've just simplified my Christmas shopping.
2:17 I actually *do* use that every day. Why? I'm in Calculus 1 currently. Also, I like math, so I'll be using it after I am done with the class (both 1 & 2). To all the people who love math: don't let anybody tell you you can't, or it's dumb or weird. Keep at it!
Euler should have been in the spotlight. Think what Euler might have done with the use of his eyes-had he not ruined them on Russian cartography. There might have been four or five more entire mathematical disciplines for which he would also get little or no credit, respect or attention today.
I see your shorts from time to time and I was looking up this story on UA-cam about newton and I saw your channel so here I am. Love the math history. Would love to see more math videos.
Idea for this series: Cotton Mather. Owner of a slave named Onesimus, who arguably became the founder of modern inoculation by introducing the practice to Mather in Boston. Also was heavily involved with, and pretty much complicit on, the Salem witch trials. This would be good for the DicKtionary.
You should do an episode on Winston Churchill, you can compare his obvious achievements in WW2, to planning Gallipoli and his behaviour in the colonies
His famous quote about using poison gas for colonial riots goes on to say that there are quite a few gases that render people insensible, and those would be ideal to solve riots without much danger to any side. He was talking about cs gas, not chlorine.
Newton: Never realized that he was such a dick but I guess that goes with the territory and puts him in the same category as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.
"Light is a wave" would be important to 20th century science, but it was a theory proven in the 19th century by Augustin Jean Fresnel, leading to his invention of the Fresnel lens.
"oh yes, Issac Newton, I climbed up his tree and dropped apples on his head." "Oh is that when he developed gravity?" "No he told me to push off out of his tree, i explained it to him over drinks later." -Dr. Who
When it came to crediting someone with inventing ideas, a number of contemporizes thought Newton was a thief and came up with a nickname for him. Hence the saying "By Hooke or by Crook"
As we know, in later life Newton was appointed to run the Royal Mint… apparently, it has been speculated, not because of his good nature or intellectual ability but largely because of the acknowledged charms of his niece who’s beauty and personality caught the eye of Lord Halifax, who had been tasked with finding a suitable candidate… that’s just how politics and society were run back then, and obviously that kind of thing never happens nowadays…
From now on if Indy says that something a great/bad/etc name for a band, I will accept it as fact that he actually once used that name for a band that Indy founded during his colourful past!
Calculus just reminds me of 7AM lectures by a professor with an accent so thick I could barely understand him. That engineering degree thing didn't work out for me.
Hooke was the first to use the term and describe cells in his micographia. Leeuwenhoek had a better microscope and was able to observe more cells than Hooke who could only observe the largest types and may have been observing cork xylem when he coined the term but the term stuck and the theory is Hooke’s.
History is written more in favour of Robert Hooke these days. And that's a good thing. A lot of the credit goes to Stephen Inwood. Who should be applauded, for his tireless work getting Hooke back into the limelight.
Hey Indy, Newton was a Cat Guy who built a cat door so his fur baby could let himself in and out while Newton was being brilliant, shouldn't he get a few points for that? :3
To paraphrase a famous quote: "Science doesn't happen in a vacuum." There never is one singly genius who pushes the whole scientific world ahead. There are always at least a few people working on the subject, often independently, and one of them turns out to be slightly ahead. You can take out an single famous scientist and the world would still be in more or less the same place, because one year of a delay (at most) doesn't really make a difference. As for stealing other people's ideas, Newton wasn't an exception, that's basically a rule in the scientific society. Just like in arts - good artists borrow, great artists - steal. ;-)
R for Riches/Rome for Marcus Licinius Crassus/Gaius Julius Caesar. Crassus because he created Rome's first "fire department" to put out fires so the city didn't burn down, but also extorted poor fire victims because he wouldn't put the fire out until the owners agreed to sell to him their land. Caesar because he was a great general, statesman, and implemented much needed reforms for Rome's poor but also broke long standing political norms, used threats of violence to get what he wanted passed, did a lot of actions that were either unethical or illegal and when the Senate tried to bring him to trial he marched an army into Rome and eventually had himself declared dictator for life precipitating the collapse of the Roman Republic.
What about R for royalties? It can be a 2 hours long episode with only a scratch on the surface. England: King John. France: Louis XIV. Belgium: King Leopold II. Spain: Queen Isabella. Russia: Ivan the Terrible or Catherine the Great.
The thing is though, even if you take away the calculus and the laws of motion against from newtons achievements. his body of wwork is still vast and incredible.Even without these, he's one of the greatest scientists and mathematicians, ever
You forgot one name that should not be forgotten. In 1645 in his book Astronomia Philolaica, Ismaël Bullialdus first refuted Kepler's assertion that gravity diminishes with the inverse of the distance between two bodies and instead proposed the field diminishes with the inverse square. I don't know if Newton was aware of this proposition, but it took Newton's mathematical genius to apply calculus to the inverse square concept to decipher the planetary trajectories thus proving Kepler's conic orbital observations (circle, ellipse or parabola). It has also been mentioned that Hooke knew of this and proposed the inverse square idea to Newton. Newton may be boss, but we need to keep in mind the others.
Wow. I did NOT know what I was getting into with this DicKtionary thing... Will going all the way back to A and watching these episodes make me dickish, or prevent it?
"...he's not a genocidal or industrial grade dick." Ajdhdjdhdkdjkdk I HAD TO CACKLE AT THAT 😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣 (...also I wonder if my current favorite historical figure could end up in the diCKtionary 🙈, he condoned a genocide after all 😅🙈💀💀🔥)

I was here for the letter A, and I'm buzzing to see it return
So... why are you shocked exactly?
I am so happy to see this, I was worried that we'd never get any more letters.
Okay I read the description & the first few words are 'we are excited...' and you keep saying the word "dick".
🤔😯👍
😉🙃
So....How YOU doin? 😍☺😅
Looking forward to the Troubles but I am super ecstatic "Dicks" is back!
"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." -Newton
Also Newton "I am a very humble guy. I am so humble. I am more humble than anybody else I know."
Hooke was 5ft nothing so the subtext there is “I owe nothing to that insignificant dwarf”.
That second quote doesn't sound intelligent enough for Newton. I suspect a certain orange ex-President.
@@rcknbob1 El Grosso says nothing original, unless it is garbled gibberish Tweeted at 2am
Not sure but to me the first quote seems newton acknowledging him needing the other scientists to reach his success. The other scientists are the giants, and he just stood on their shoulders and used them to his advantage.
"I too am extraordinarily humble" -hook
Happy to see this series alive again, lovely stuff!
Very solid math tie. Great choice. 4/5
Are you sure the tie wasn't imaginary?
@@Slash-XVI In part, but it's too complex to explain.

Turns out, if you take a system governed by Hooke's law (shall we call it a harmonic oscillator) and try to study it as a quantum system we get very interesting results.

T is for Transportation, Roads, Bridges & the Same. And if you're caught in a New York jam, you have Robert Moses to blame!
I didn't realize how much I missed this series.
Bro... wtf ... youare everywhere ... anytime i watch some video i always see your coment . .:D :D :D :D
Man what did I miss this series.
P.S. You probably named almost all of the most common people high school STEM students come across.
Y'all should sell prints of "newton with laser eyes burning hooke's portrait"
So glad this series is still going! And thanks for the The Baroque Cycle suggestion. My parents love historically informed novels about scientists and researchers, so you've just simplified my Christmas shopping.
Should be a quick read.
Nice to see this series is back. Can’t wait for more episodes!
I spent the first minute wondering what this had to do with WWII. I never claimed to be a genius.
Ask another Dick - Werner Von Braun - As he says about his rockets - "We were aiming for the stars" ..but sometimes he hit UK or Belgium!
And now I get Terry Pratchett’s inspiration for the internecine shenanigans at the Unseen University

Finally, a tie I want. Even if Euler wasn't mentioned.
Euler should have been in the spotlight.
Think what Euler might have done with the use of his eyes-had he not ruined them on Russian cartography. There might have been four or five more entire mathematical disciplines for which he would also get little or no credit, respect or attention today.

The editing and visuals are top tier.
bravo.
I love this series. Looking forward to further installments.
I unironically enjoy all my calculus classes. They were integral to my education and not at all derivative
You know why exponential functions don't turn up at parties? They don't integrate well.
Yayy! DicKtionary is back!
basically a summary of my classes disscusions about newton in undergrad physics
I am so happy this series is alive, all off your videos are great but this have a special place in my heart.
Idea for this series:
Cotton Mather.
Owner of a slave named Onesimus, who arguably became the founder of modern inoculation by introducing the practice to Mather in Boston.
Also was heavily involved with, and pretty much complicit on, the Salem witch trials.
This would be good for the DicKtionary.
Finally this series is back! :D
Oh yeah!
The 80s style of hair has nothing on the glorious hair of 1600s.
You should do an episode on Winston Churchill, you can compare his obvious achievements in WW2, to planning Gallipoli and his behaviour in the colonies
His famous quote about using poison gas for colonial riots goes on to say that there are quite a few gases that render people insensible, and those would be ideal to solve riots without much danger to any side. He was talking about cs gas, not chlorine.
hurrah - I love this series - thanks Time Ghost.
I have missed the D format, welcome back.
The sound I made seeing this series return was not human in its excitement. Indy, you have made my day!!! I missed this series so much! 😀
Newton: Never realized that he was such a dick but I guess that goes with the territory and puts him in the same category as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.
"Possibly not a d*ck" is now my go-to description for anyone I dont know personally. Either way, you're covered.
"Light is a wave" would be important to 20th century science, but it was a theory proven in the 19th century by Augustin Jean Fresnel, leading to his invention of the Fresnel lens.
"oh yes, Issac Newton, I climbed up his tree and dropped apples on his head." "Oh is that when he developed gravity?" "No he told me to push off out of his tree, i explained it to him over drinks later." -Dr. Who
Add to Newton's achievment of finding a way to find pi in a very fast way compared to using drafting tools.
When it came to crediting someone with inventing ideas, a number of contemporizes thought Newton was a thief and came up with a nickname for him.
Hence the saying "By Hooke or by Crook"
Back in the day, when I was in elementary school, we were still learning about that falling apple bullshit.
"You had a lot of fun in calculus class"
Yes, I did!
This was brilliant Indie! More more more!
I almost never comment on yt, but I was just so glad you guys started doing this again! Please, keep'em coming if you have the time!
Thank you very much for your support!!
Your video was highly historically correct!
Damn good job my friend!
Thanks! Glad you like it
I had my money on Mugabe for this letter but this story definitely hooked me
Thanks.

I've been wondering if the Dicktionary was still going on.
Man, Newton was such a troll. A genius, but petty.
When we needed it most it has returned
I missed these !
Those pictures of Hooke are terrifying
Not only a math tie but one with the most beautiful equation in maths!
Oh my you look good in a black shirt with white tie! I'm totally digging💯 the look! Two thumbs up Astrid 👍👍👏
From now on if Indy says that something a great/bad/etc name for a band, I will accept it as fact that he actually once used that name for a band that Indy founded during his colourful past!
Calculus just reminds me of 7AM lectures by a professor with an accent so thick I could barely understand him. That engineering degree thing didn't work out for me.
You need to do US Senator Benjamin Tillman. Seriously. This is the guy whose picture is found in most dictionaries next to the word dick.
Wait isn't Tillman the guy who was super proud of having taken part in a racist lynch mob once?
@@Oxtocoatl13 Yes, among many other things.
3:36 The one who discovered the cell was the Dutch researcher Leuwenhooke (probably he confused the names).
Hooke was the first to use the term and describe cells in his micographia. Leeuwenhoek had a better microscope and was able to observe more cells than Hooke who could only observe the largest types and may have been observing cork xylem when he coined the term but the term stuck and the theory is Hooke’s.

Q is for Quatrains, and old Nostradamus. According to him, he lives now among us. Oh wait, that was Edgar Cayce... never mind.
This series lives! Yesssssss
Yeeeeees the Dicktionary is back, love it!
Glad to see this series back. And surprised to learn this about Isaac Newton.
Cause only thing you learn about is that he discovered gravity
Hey Indy, Newton was a Cat Guy who built a cat door so his fur baby could let himself in and out while Newton was being brilliant, shouldn't he get a few points for that? :3
Not unless the cat was Leonard Euler.
Wonder who did he steal that idea from...
Great tie! I give it half a circle out of 10.
Finally! Very excited
God I missed this series.
My favorite show ever is back!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
It's back!

Yey! It's back!
Sorry, for inventing Calculus alone Leibniz gets to be considered a dick, even if he does not get the credit most of the time.
The thing is though, even if you take away the calculus and the laws of motion against from newtons achievements. his body of wwork is still vast and incredible.Even without these, he's one of the greatest scientists and mathematicians, ever
I always knew of Hooke from his work/discoveries on cells. Maybe it was just the Australian education system of the time was just that good.
You should do Alexandros Mavrokordatos
Mavrokordatos was relative descent guy and very capable. Kolettis, on the other hand, truly deserves a place in the dicktionary
astonishing
Ah. Leibniz notation ! It differentiates itself from the rest !😛
It's back!! Drop everything and let's diss Newton!! With good arguments this time!
Excellent Indy.
Can you read us a story from one of the books behind you?
Be careful not to burn yourself on that candle though.
That is a really nice tie!

As a mathematics and phisics student i really use these things daily, hahaha awesome video!
Newton was the real life equivalent to Sheldon Cooper.
as a math career guy who only dabbles into history for fun this was pretty interesting, even if I knew a lot of the basic facts already
Funny, I was just asking about if the dicktionary was continuing.
Yes, it's back!
When are you adding this to the dicktionary playlist?
Newton was a giant amongst geniuses and a truly dreadful character as a person
V for Vampire! Vlad III 🦇
I've found Descartes highly questionable ever since I came across his statement alleging that animals have no souls.
If M is for Mathematics, then shouldn't it be Mewton and Mooke? Only kidding.
Since you're doing WW2 currently what about some of the flamboyant Generals? Like MacArthur, Mark Clark or Montgomery?
"...he's not a genocidal or industrial grade dick." Ajdhdjdhdkdjkdk I HAD TO CACKLE AT THAT 😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
(...also I wonder if my current favorite historical figure could end up in the diCKtionary 🙈, he condoned a genocide after all 😅🙈💀💀🔥)
Hmm, living people do not count . . . I got bupkis.
Interesting series
Aaah so that is what dicktionary means ..... I understand now ....
A NEW DICKTIONARY EPISODE FUUUUUUUUUU-
