4:47 Whilst not wanting to deflect from the church's horrific and abhorrent abuses this is so off topic it's clearly more about MS's axe grinding than Newton.
There is huge political impetus behind the apotheosis of Newton, who was obsessed with alchemy. Leibnitz came up with the calculus; geopolitics intervened=but the truth is out there.
Leibniz and Newton developed calculus independently, but I do believe Leibniz did come up wiht the term calculus, whereas Newton called it Method of Fluxions Newton developed it in conjunction with his work on Gravitation and the Laws of Motion. but of course parts of it was developed by Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama in the 14th century
+Sascha Humphrey Leibniz also came up with most of the notation we still use today. I too think they came up with it independently, I often think Leibniz is a little bit forgotten, but Newton was first so early bird en all that...
The three cybernetic levels of reality in platonic physics Firstness- Mind- The One, the Monarch- this is the realm of Plato's Mind. Purely subjective, timeless and spaceless - with innate knowledge and a priori memory, containing the pre-established harmony, necessary logic, numbers - the womb of the WHAT. Mind creates all, perceives all, controls all. Thus the individual mind controls the brain, not the reverse. Mind plays the brain like a violin. Secondness -- Mental objects so both subjective +objective- The Many. In this, the WHAT separates from Mind and becomes a HERE. Accordingly. Heidegger referred to existence as "dasein". "Being here." According to Leibniz, all monads are alive to various degrees. There are of three gradations of life in these, according to Leibniz: a) Bare, naked monads, which we can think of as purely physical ( Eg, a fundamental particle). b) Animal and vegetative monads, which Leibniz calls souls, which can have feelings, but little intellect. c) Spirits (corresponding to humans), which have, in addition, intellectual capacities. Mind transforms physical signals in nerves and neurons into experiences. If Mind then reperceives or reflects on these experiences, they are said to be thoughgt or apperceived. To be apperceived is to be made conscious. Thus consciousness is the product of thought. Intentions are also made in the same way, so that we caqn say that thoughts are intentions by Mind. The human brain is a monad which contains as subsets, mental capacities. Neuroscience tells us that there is binding between monads for parts and functions of the brain, but since monads cannot act directly on each other, this binding must be indirect, through the sequential updates of the perceptions and appetites of the subfunction monads. These must be made by Mind, either directly or through the preestablished harmony PEH). Unfortunately the Stanford Leibniz site on Leibniz makes no mention of the action of Mind on the individual mind, IMHO a gross shortcoming. Sensory signals and signals for feelings must also go through such a binding process. In a sense, the binding process plays the role of a self, but in conventional neuroscience self is a function of the brain, rather than the other way round, as common sense suggests and the intentionality of self or mind proves, along with the need for a PEH. This shortcoming in conventional understanding of the brain becomes all the more nagging if we consider thinking, which is closely related to apperception, because it must be conscious.Thinking, we submit, consists of consciously manipulating and comparing such apperceptions. Through Mind, with its potentially infinite wisdom and intelligence, intuitions and thoughts can arise spontaneously in the individual mind. If these are to be immediate and/or original, it is reasonable to believe that they originate in Mind, rather than indirectly through separate although bound parts of the brain. Anyone who has experienced a vocal duet in which the vibratos are in phase should become convinced of this. Mind is the monarch of the intelligent mind, which controls the brain. Mind plays the brain like a violin. Mind is also is able to focus on a thought for a brief period, within the context of one's memory and universal memory, for purposes of thinking an comparison, making the biological brain and its complex bindings seem hopelessly indirect and subject to confusion. Thirdness - Corresponding physical objects as is appropriate- -here the object is born or emittted from the monad--and emerges into spacetime as a particle, becoming completely objective, a WHAT+ HERE +WHEN., In addition the Thirdness of a private thought or experience is its public expression in some appropriate form. -- Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (retired, 2000).

these old 90s videos of mark steel has so much british references. if you're not british, you would not get a lot of them. it makes me hate and cringe to have to try and understand his references as i am not british nor from your usual anglo country
How dare he not be a generic US pop culture parrot or constantly reference 80s Bollywood actors and senators from the Brazilian parliament. Here's a suggestion, learn something about foreign cultures and history and not just a language.
19:56 Is that Barry Shitpeas swimming?
E: Holy shit it is! Al Campbell is on the production team!
Catholic church to Galieo-How MANY moons are there? This is you last chance.
Gaileo-"There...are..SEVEN moons!
THIS is the way to teach science! :0)
I love the Ainsley Hariott cameo!
huh... didn't think I could love Ainsley Harriott anymore than I already did.
Open University shows have come a long way!
whats happened to the bearded bespectaled bland presenters who kill the passion in a subject and are as much fun as watching paint dry??
What-ever I notice that the YT community is lacking, this video being one of them.
Excellent, Thank you.
had the same boat experience going from copenhagen to hamburg
The plague was 1665. Great Fire of London was 1666. Mark is a year out on both... but great stuff, nevertheless.

Isaac newton ''invented gravity '' humankind is doomed...

''Issac newton ''he invented gravity '' these guys probably have 10 GCSE ..ah the good old UK education system.......

@@phoneboxchicken4108 Agree - I learned about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Blaine
except he's American
Sorry to hear learning is so painful for you. I hope you will find joy in it one day.
