The computer wasn't invented in Britain, it was invented in Germany (Konrad Zuse)
That's very debatable
More importantly the internet was invented by the US Military and Stanford University -- ARAPNET.
It depends on how you define "computer". Computers didn't just pop into existence. There were precursors, the development was fluid.
We should accept that some things are simply a development with multiple participants/inventors.
@@schenkov it was the first computer, just not electronics based like today, but like the architechture and logic
Well kinda it was invented in Britain, but never built. The first built one was the Z2. Konrad Zuse invented the probably first digital Computer Z3. The Eniac in the USA also gets credited as the first general purpose one (slightly after Z3) so it depends on your definition who to credit.
You were tricked into watching a Zeiss advertisement XD
lol!
Adverzeissment
But still interesting.
Sorry! But the first operational computer was developed by Konrad Zuse in Germany! The Z1
sure ..and i was 12 at that time ...
@@richardhltrp1791what do you want to say? You dont believe it?
This is not correct. The “Z1” was the first freely programmable computer in the world that used Boolean logic and binary floating-point numbers; however, "it was unreliable in operation"
I understand that you’re probably simplifying, but saying that Carl Zeiss makes glass is the understatement of the millennium
True... they buy the glass they just "refine" it technically
@@LoFiAxolotl 'just'
@@LoFiAxolotlmost of their "glas" is very special plastic and the mirrors are metal with a special coating
@@CJO-no1 most of their business is in optics for camera lenses, microscopes, glasses etc... most of their glass is absolutely not special
@@LoFiAxolotl the ones for glasses (the thing you put on your nose) are not glas, the optical microscopes are often also a plastic camera lenses might be glass idk its a smaller part of their business. And most don't mean its their most important thing. The most important department is the one that makes the mirrors, afterwards glasses for people. Both are absolute cash cows.
Zeiss is everything about optics. So I was short sighted my whole life, an 5 years ago (in my mid-40s), I had an eye surgery in Düsseldorf. The Doctor was the Supervisor who also checked my visual ability - but the op itself was completely done by a huge robot - from Zeiss.
I have a Vision now above 100 % (yes, that's possible). Before, I had around 25 % on my left eye and a little bit over 20 % on my right eye.
Thank to Zeiss, I can see the second I wake up - without reaching for my glasses or putting lenses in my eyes.
How is it above 100%? Is it just better than the usual state or what?
@@Tudas It seems, the percentage system for eye sight is a bit weird, 100% is the value for an average human, so young adults mostly have > 100% while kids and elderly will have < 100%
@@Tudas Translated into another measurement system, the visual acuity is the reciprocal value of the resolution of the eye, which is measured in (degree) minutes. So, a visual acuity of 1.0 means, the resolution of the eye is 1'. A visual acuity of 0.25 means, the resolution is 4'. At some point in human history, someone took the 1.0 and turned it into 100%. It is correct, the average human eye has a resolution of 1' and therefore a visual acuity of 1.0. But I wouldn't call it 100%.
Computers are rather a German invention by Konrad Zuse.
Also while nearly the whole world takes Alexander Graham Bell as inventor of the telephone, there was a German Phillip Reis who came actually first.
So actually Germans invented a lot more than the car. 😊
you’re welcome world
Predi?! Du auch hier 😅
BS!
Well, the first "programmable electronical computer" was invended by Konrad Zuse, not what we consider general purpos computers now. But definitely the first computer that you can just give instructions and it will calculate it.
Yeah a lot more. How about the X-Ray? Pretty important aswell I'd say.
Turing (UK) invented the theoretical concept of computing/computable. Konrad Zuse (DE) build the first programmable and general usable computer. Fairchild Inc. (US) developed the integrated circuit that combines transistors and other electronic components on a chip. Later on out of Fairchild a new company was founded, named Intel.
almost right... it wasn't the first programmable computer... but the first programmable computer to use floating point calculations... it was one of the most significant steps towards modern computing still
Zeiss is a bigger one of so many hidden champions in Germany.
The printing press by Gutenberg, was a game changer for the whole world.
zeiss did the mirrors in hubble
Zeiss makes everythink about optics
My Brother is working for Zeiss semiconductors. And it’s just surfing on the edge of physics. Imagine to standardize such a process. It’s a nightmare 😂

The first ever "Self-Contained breathing apparatus" was invented by a german (Johann Heinrich Draeger).
He and his company influced and built many important stuff for medical and other fields, including mining, diving and safety equitment for fire fighters.
Thats why rescue workers in the US mining field are called "Drägermen" because of the Dräger equitment (also there was once a 1937 movie called "Draegerman Courage" about mine workers and even a 1938 superman comic, where he got help from some workers to search for lost miners)
And another node is, that the first succesful climb to the mount Everest peak was done with equitment from Dräger.
Thanks man, I learned something new about Dräger today :)
I thought they make medical tools.
@@MiaMerkur well yes, their started with it (even if the first idea was a ventil for pumping beer before they went into the medical field) but they saw the potencial of their product in other fields too the following years/decades
Yes Zeiss is most famous for making high quality camera lenses (for almost 100 years now) and high quality glass for glasses, that's a rather small part of their operation though, but since it is what most people will interact with it is what they're known for
If we ever figure out the powerproblem, you can bet the Lasgun will include Zeiss Lenses and Mirrors.
Along with Leica , Schneider Kreuznach best lenses in the business !
There are laser guns already in existence and military testing. Just not soldier sized.

The first micro chips were invented in Germany to be used in credit and bank cards !
And as I said in many vlogs before : inventions and education and training skills are the
" raw material " we build our wealth on as we lack the sources of countries like China Russia or the USA or Canada. There is NOT A SINGLE MOBILE PHONE on this planet without something that was made with the help of a German company. :)
this is the least educated and most wrong comment i have read about the importance of education in a long while... Microchips were invented decades before any bank even thought about credit cards.... though one early patent comes from Siemens it never was actually realised.... also Germany has an abundance of raw materials... it has just become too expensive to mine them in germany except coal... We literally formed the European Coal and Steel Community because we had so much Steel and Coal and didn't want other countries to price gouge germany... also there's plenty of mobile phones which have absolutely 0 german involvement in them... Huawei phones since 2017 for example are exclusively produced with Chinese technology....
German wealth largely comes from foreign investment during the cold war which lead to hyper productivity in the west to combat the former UdSSR which allowed Germany and other western countries to form the ECSC and later the EU which strength is a common currency that can't be inflated and makes the european market interesting to again foreign investment... Germany has also long been a problem for invention and education as Germany is extremely slow to change and adapt to the changing industries around the world, which allowed for example China to swallow whole industries that are dying off in droves in Germany... the only advantage Germany still has is that people think "Made in Germany" is a sign of quality which it really isn't... the competition in Asia is better while also being cheaper... the only glimpse of hope that Germany has for the future is the rising wage costs in China
You are confusing it with the chip card. Microchips existed well before. The integated circuit was, if I remember correctly an american invention.

@@EyMannMachHin Yap, made by Texas Instruments
That says absolutely nothing. We need two pieces of information in order for your comment to mean anything:
1. How many transisters per mm² do you need on your chip for it to be considered a "micro chip"?
2. What is the most trainsistors ever placed on a mm²?@@EyMannMachHin
There were two Zeiss companies, because the company was split up after the war. I think the more capable one was the one in the East, Carl Zeiss Jena.
both very much competent, the Eastern part probably more famous because it had more consumer facing business while the west focused more on industry applications
There's a wikipedia page listing german inventions, it's pretty nutty.
Also germany largely does not "make" things, besides cars, that's not how you get a long term business. You want to make the things that make the things (that make the things). You don't want to build tunnels, but rather the machines that build the tunnels that every company that builds tunnels wants to have. Or in this case, you don't want to make smartphones or computers, but the part that makes the machine that makes them work. It's super specific, only needed in one or two products, made by a couple other companies whose product everyone wants.
Exactly!
Smart.
yes thats a pretty good description of germany. Thats the hole concept of germany export industry. Besides not only cars, its also chemistry
NASA
Zeiss designed the optical components for the James Webb Space Telescope.
Smartphone lenses
Zeiss worked with Nokia, and later with Microsoft Mobile as they continued production of the Lumia series.[37] The Nokia 808 PureView features a lens custom-developed by Zeiss for its 1/1.2 inch sensor; as did its successor, the Nokia Lumia 1020. The Nokia N90 and Nokia N8 also used Zeiss optics. In 2017, Zeiss again provided optics for Nokia products through a collaboration with HMD Global,[25] beginning with the Nokia 8.[38]
Its kinda the other way around: a German invented the electronic computer and the Americans invented the micro chip. Though, it wasn't that micro at the beginning. The idea is just to pack many semi conductors into one chip, instead of having them seperatly like in the early days of transistors.
Yes, all the micro chip technology today would not be possible without the state of the art optics from Zeiss. And that has a long tradition: for over a century Zeiss is top supplier for scientific microscopes. A number of discoveries in the field of biology would probably not have been possible without Zeiss products as well.
The question is: What is an invention? There is almost no invention that comes out of "no where" and is "now here". Many people are responsible for the computer. Konrad Zuse did build the first working electronic programmable computer. It is certainly an invention based on theories by Alan Turing who improved theories by Kurt Gödel, an Austrian, who improved...
This first computer is certainly an invention. It took Konrad Zuse several years to figure out and develop all the systems to make the hardware work. So the computer (hardware) is certainly a German invention. The theories behind the machine rest on many brilliant minds. It is not based on the theories by von Neumann. He published them in 1945 while the computer Z3 was finished in 1941. Some of the Von-Neumann-Architecture was already patented by Konrad Zuse in the late 1930s.
Theoretical background is based on the works of Leibniz (binary system), Babbage (analytical engine), Lovelace (programming), Gödel (mathematical model), Turing (mathematical model on computation), and others who found models and theories way before technology was ready to make use of them.
Nah bro I’m giving Zuse the full credit … like did you see pictures of those first prototypes? The idea/ concept just doesn’t hold a candle to the monetary and physical effort of creating those
@@nightcorelore5648 I didn't say I do not give him full credit. I just did not write these words. He would not have built that computer from scratch without the theoretical works of others. I wrote "This first computer is certainly an invention." Nobody of the others has achieved a similar status. Except maybe Babbage who built a machine that was not working because of the imperfect mechanics possible at that time -- but then it was _only_ a calculator. Zuse built the first working mechanical computer Z1 and faced precision problems and then made the first electronic one Z3 using tubes, transistors weren't invented yet. Z4 was finished in 1945 and then a year later came ENIAC....
Zeiss supplies the mirrors for the ASML chip making machines. ASML is Dutch.
Chip manufacturing is insane, and basically a monopoly. The most advanced Chips are pretty much only produced by TSMC (Taiwan) and the only Lithography Machines advanced enough to make these Chips are made by ASML (Netherlands), and the only optical systems advanced enough to be used in these Mashines are made by Zeiss (Germany). If any one of these companies vanishes, the world stops functioning.
True and there are a lot more Companys involved at that level
Our world wouldn't completely stop functioning without them, but our technology would instantly regress by about 5-10 years almost overnight and it would cause a financial crisis on a enormous scale that previous ones looked like small hickups.
That's also one of the reasons why it's in the best interest of every high technology nation on this planet to protect Taiwan from chinese Invasion at all cost 😅
Fun fact: In the 1970s and 1980s a Spanish woman worked for Zeiss -- by the way: the _Z_ is pronounced as _Ts_ -- fine-polishing mirrors by hand. When she fell ill, Zeiss learnt that they rely on a single person for certain high-end products and no machine available provided equivalent results. They then started investing in better polishing machines.
Zeiss uses the English pronunciation itself in its own videos and ads.
There is just no way that an American would use the correct German Ts pronunciation.
I work in the semiconductor field in southwest germany and I can guarantee that at least a couple components in your phone are from my city, or at the very least used a patented method for production from my city :D

I actually make some chips during my PhD. The chip is coated in light sensitive resist and then exposed either with light or with an electron beam. A developing agent then washes away the exposed resist. Then there are many methods to manipulate the surface: You can etch it with wet chemicals or plasma. Or you evaporate some metal and let a thin layer deposit on the surface. But all these influences only influence the areas without resist. Then you wash away the resist with acetone. For computer chips you need to repeat that process dozens of times. The chips I make can't compute anything and are far less detailed (the smallest structure I have is 2 μm, whereas in computer chips it's nanometers).
Computer was invented in Germany!
At least computer, that could process different tasks (programmable) and was not only build for one specific purpose. So computer as we know them today.
Zeiss makes all kind of optical/glass stuff. They also manufacture lenses as you mentioned and also even glasses so you can see better :D
The first general-purpose computer (at least in theory) was the Analytical engine. Zuse is the first one, who actually was able to build one, a century later.
Gutenberg, Buchdruck. Die Grundlage für jeden Fortschritt.
Especially the foundation for Enlightenment.
haha I got the Zeiss ad just before this video
Fun Fact: to be able to manufacture these super high quality things they placed their factory in the place with the least seismical activity within europe.
The Computer was invented in Germany by Konrad Zuse in multiple unimaginable expensive intervals that filled multiple rooms with electronic parts and I’m honestly tired of giving Turing even a bit credit for a thought project on the level of an simple calculator by now
Well, the first "programmable computer" was invended by Konrad Zuse, not what we consider general purpos computers now. But definitely the first computer that you can just give instructions easily and it will calculate it.
I am not a fan of exaggerated national pride. Yes, computers, microchips, the car and modern radiology in medicine are German inventions. But strictly speaking, they are international inventions, because no scientist works in a vacuum. For me, it is humanity that has made these milestones possible. Okay though I do feel a little comfortable seeing German names in the list of inventors.
As far as the computer is concerned: Ryan, you've had this topic before. And each time you were surprised that it was Konrad Zuse.😉😊
computers and microchips were NOT invented in germany (though some significant progress was made by germans like Zuse inventing a computer capable of floating point calculations was not the first computer by any stretch of the imagination though)
@@LoFiAxolotl As I said before, nobody can claim to have “invented” anything. Only the collaboration of ALL scientists creates innovations.
@@Onkel_Wuschel not disagreeing with that (i mean kinda some things literally were first discovered by a single person but those things happened like 3000 years ago) but the Germans attributed with inventing the Computer and Microchips weren't even the first people to invent them
@@Onkel_Wuschel Wirklich...? Beim Buchdruck, oder der Luftpumpe? Diese Kooperation, konnte erst zu einem gewissen Zeitpunkt einsetzen und der war beim europäischen Buchdruck und der Luftpumpe, eben noch nicht erreicht...
@@LoFiAxolotl Nope! But the Germans made it work...
Most important? Only one right answer.
The book press
yes agree, because the effect that had on the human brain must have been tremendous. Because 70y after Gutenberg, Martin Luther translated the Bible into german by which suddenly ordinary people could read it, which before had been possible only by scolars and the clergy and we know how the latter interpreted it to the people. So with the possibility of quick printing that Book was in everybodys house. Followed by newspapers rudimentary form, pamphlets and of course other books.
So glad the expression "cool beans" is still around. I always liked it. Interesting video, Ryan.
zeiss produces microscopes, we have a lot of these at work
Yes, the USA has great scientists.
And Germany has good engineers, as do Japan, China, India, France, Brazil, Kenya...
We have a lot of success when we all work well TOGETHER - and not just with weapons of war and attack planning (….)
Unfortunately, people still work too much against each other or too little with each other …
Kind regards from Northern Germany
Zeiss makes very many things. They make camera lenses, glasses for the eyes, precision lenses and mirrors, industrial precision coordinate measuring machines and so on. I have Zeiss glasses and sometimes work with their coordinate measuring machines
Agree to Abbath and ThePredatorDE..the first functional computer was invented by Konrad Zuse in Germany years before the British one.. Which things where invented in the USA, especial from US Americans? I do not know only one.. Space-rocket where invented by Germans, the Apollo was build by Germans.. oh, sorry I forgot the lift, the electric lamp, the revolver and the telegraph.
But the best invention was the Bottle blowing machine..
😂 But you know the point with Zuse.. have a look at your older videos. American reacts to '10 most important German inventions in history' 4 month ago..
And the powered flight... Look up for Gustav Weisskopf, Connecticut 1901. The federal state passed a law about the topic. The outcome is: First motor powered flight in the USA, but done by a German...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 What I have say.. The most "USA" invention where not from Americans.
The first microchip (integrated circuit) was invented in America by a Texas Instruments employee Jack Kilby. The first programmable computer was invented by a German Engineer Konrad Zuse (obviously, it didn't have any microchips).
Zeus’s makes very high precision optical instruments, including microscopes, telescopes, camera lenses and everything similar.

Well, Maybe you heard about the Philae-Lander, the first space probe that did a soft landing on a comet. The Legs of this probe were made in a small Workshop four buildings down our street in a small village north of Ruhrgebiet. If you don't know you'd drive past this small shop never registering it. Most people will not look into the direction of the small shop because diagonally across the street is an expensive looking house behind a small circuit driveway that houses a well known red-light business. 😉😁
Dude i think lenses is the keyword when it comes to zeiss. they create binoculars, that givs you the feeling to stand right where you look its crystal clear, and olny costs 300Euro xD
Still wonder how they pull it off, since the details of the circuits are fractions of the wavelength of visible light. You'd have to account for all kinds of unwelcome things light does at those dimensions, like bending and interference. Also usually the dies don't just get developed once, it's a long process of different layerings and etchings, which all have to align very precisely.
Arm Holdings plc (formerly an acronym for Advanced RISC Machines and originally Acorn RISC Machine) is a British semiconductor and software design company based in Cambridge, England, whose primary business is the design of central processing unit (CPU) cores that implement the ARM architecture family of instruction sets. It also designs other chips, provides software development tools under the DS-5, RealView and Keil brands, and provides systems and platforms, system-on-a-chip (SoC) infrastructure and software. As a "holding" company, it also holds shares of other companies. Since 2016, it has been majority owned by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group.
While ARM CPUs first appeared in the Acorn Archimedes, a desktop computer, today's systems include mostly embedded systems, including ARM CPUs used in virtually all modern smartphones. Processors based on designs licensed from Arm, or designed by licensees of one of the ARM instruction set architectures, are used in all classes of computing devices. Arm has two lines of graphics processing units (GPUs), Mali, and the newer Immortalis (which includes hardware-based ray-tracing).[6]
Arm's main CPU competitors in servers include IBM, Intel and AMD.

9:31 No american president can dictate free and privatly owned EU companys anything, the only explanation that would make sense is that the US state pays them a shitload of money for an exclusiv use of the technology.

This vid suggests a lot of power and worldwide authority in the office of the pres. of america.
That is not reality.
it wouldn't be the first time. Especially for German companies.
Well, there are a lot of ways an American president (and the congress) can influence privately owned EU companies (and many, many more), even 'force' them to obey.
They can put sales sanctions on the company, they can 'talk' to the government of the the country the company is located in and 'convince' them of the necessity of not allowing a sale of those machines, they can put financial sanctions on the company and so on.
So you may not call it a 'dictation', the result is about the same.
The President of the US couldn't do that period... the US Senate could, not directly but indirectly.. the President is the head of the executive not legislature
I think one of the problems is: ASML is based in the Netherlands, but it also has factories and research centers in the US.
Z is not spoken as S, but as Ts in german! Zeiss -> Tseiss. Just like Zug (train), Zeppelin or Zeit (time). Ts has the same sound like the t's in let's.
Any microelectronics, semiconductors or satellite stuff is produced in clean rooms. I used to work in one for LED-production (semiconductors) and we had white clean clothing. That's where my nickname back then came from, because you could only see the eyes: White ninja xDDD
Zeiss itself uses the soft S pronunciation officially.
The first programmable computer recognized as such is the Zuse Z3, which was developed by Konrad Zuse in Germany in 1941. The Z3 was the first fully operational, fully automatic, programmable, and freely programmable computer that used binary floating-point arithmetic.
The programmable computer was an invention that comes from Germany. It was an invention by Konrad Zuse. Turing did a HUGE amount of work to describe and define data manipulation rules. Zeiss is a company that is specialized in optics of all sorts. From glasses (the ones you wear on your face) through all sorts of lenses to mirrors..
Ultra-violet or near-UV frequencies are the reason you can store more data on a DVD than on a CD. CD uses red lasers (if I remember correctly) and DVD uses blue lasers. Blu-Ray shortens the wavelength even further. It's the same principle they use for those microchips.
The very first integrated circuit - several electronic semiconductor elements on a single glass substrate - was developed by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958. Although there have been similar ideas around during the preceding decade his device was actually the first one integrating several individual devices on a single substrate to create a defined electronic function. In 1959 he filed a patent together with Robert Noyce at the USPTO. Later Noyce became one of the founders of intel Corp. which created the x86 computer processor architecture driving personal computers since their introduction in the early 1980ies.
The idea of integrating several electronic devices in a single housing to provide a more comprehensive electronic function has been realized in vaccum tubes and has been used in very early implementations of radio and television systems before.
Zuse was inspired by mechanical calculators which he was using to calculate the static stability of buildings and other architectural structures. However, calulators are desinged to perform a limited set of mathematical calulations. And if one calculation returns a result, quite often that has to be reentered to do the next calculation step and so on and on and on ...
Zuse admitted that those calculations were boring and he didn't like doing them. So he started to think about a device allowing to combine several calculation steps and to do so in a configurable way - which ended up to be called programmable. And since he had started with mechanical calculators his first configurable calculator was mechanical too. With later versions he started to use electronic devices - electromagnetic relays and electronic vacuum tubes - more and more. Unfortunately the early systems were destroyed during WWII.
The first mechanical calculator was built by Wilhelm Schickard in 1623. Schickard, a professor at the university of Tübingen, wanted to facilitate astronomical calculations and invented a "clock" for that purpose. Today an institute at the faculty of computer science in Tübingen is named after him.
Alan Touring invented the Touring machine, a machine programmable with magnet tape (at least that's the model of the touring macine).
The first digital computer was built by Conrad Zuse (Z1). This digital machine was mechanical.
The Z2 was built with magnetic switches
and the Z3 with tubes. Non of Zuses machines were built using semiconductors. The transistor wimply wasn't invented yet.
There were even calculation machines available way earlier. The first has been built by Blaise pascal (french guy) and Leibniz (German Mathematician) has also built one - a bit more sophisticated than Pascal's, but still mechanical.
The transistor was invented in the US, aswell as the first integrated circruit AND the first microprocessor. I would say, this was the birth of the first digital computer as we know ist.
One other German invention that changed a lot is the button hole. It was invented in the middle ages.

@@LoFiAxolotl I study Computer Science at the University of Darmstadt. I do understand what computers are, I do know what high level programming languages are, and I also know what digital means.
Digital means, it calculates using Numbers (in the case of the Z3 binary numbers) or rather distinct values of something, unlike Analog computers, which use a continuous signal (e.g. Operational Amplifiers or Differential gears).
A high level programming language is any language that is not directly machine code.
So one could argue that "Assembly" is a high level programming language.
For a full list we have to sit hear till tomorrow 😂
For me the most important improvement of an already understood principle was the Haber-Bosch process. Haber is a very problematic individual due to his involvement of the development of nerve gases (mustard gas) during WW1. But the Haber-Bosch process was an incredible jump in energy efficiency for the binding of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia.
Why was this so important?
Because at the end of the 19th century the agricultural industry still used animal dung, as well as bird and bat guano to create fertilizer. These had been deposited at specific sites of bird and bat colonies over millenia but had almost been depleted by one century of agricultural and population growth. By the end of 50 more years ALL such deposits would have been completely depleted causing mass starvation.
The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia allowed for virtually unlimited artificial fertilizer to be created cheaply and efficiently.
How ammonia is also required in huge amounts in the production of explosives, as well as in most nerve agents.
So while yes, the Habet-Bosch process helped killing a few million people, it helped feed billions. Without it our world could at best feed four billion people on starvation levels, while depleting all natural food sources. Today we could easily feed ten billion people if we could just ignore our greed and fairly distribute all our foods among the world population.
That's why I chose this reaction process as the greatest, but also the most problematic German invention. It requires a huge measure of restraint not to abuse it for greedy or negative purposes.
It was far less than million peoples...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Oh I included all the millions of people who were killed due to Germany's ability to effectively produce unlimited ammunition during WW1. Without the ammonia binding process there wouldn't have been a war. Germany would have simply been embargoed of all sources of ammonia by the other nations, and the war would have been over in a few weeks. At least when it comes to modern day explosives. I simply wanted to avoid any discussion about how many people died due to this process by understating the numbers. Because the numbers have continued to rise slowly over the many decades since then. We are essentially still using a more fine-tuned version of this process today.
Interestingly enough... Zeiss together with IBM are working on not using mirrors anymore but using liquid lenses to focus the lights in those litography machines
It's more interesting that even kinda informed people from the US have no clue what US politics does outside the US...

The car was of course invented by the German Carl Benz in 1885.
The Ford Motor Company was only founded in 1903.
he absolutely did not do that.... Zuse invented the first programmable computer to use floating point calculations... it was an extremely significant step towards modern computers but not the first computer whatsoever by any definition of computer
Well the first was definitely not to be used at home … rather a whole home was used to house it 🤣
The first Computer, that used the binary system, was the Zuse 1, invented by Konrad Zuse, who was, you guessed it, German.
This compter worked with tubes, transistors came later.
The car was also invented in Germany by Karl Benz in 1885. No it wasn't Henry Ford he just industrialized the making of cars
Zeiss seems only to hire Twins :-) there are alway 2 Persons together :D
Diggi, der Computer wurde in Bad Hersfeld erfunden..
btw: The "IC" -> microchip was invented by Jack Kilby (and Robert Noyce). He received the Nobel price in physics for that. And since then he is called "the father of the microchip". So, it was invented in the US.
...but the first programmable(!) computer was build by Kontrad Zuse (Berlin).
Amsl is Dutch. They have the power to
Integrated circuits and mirco processors are American inventions. All the early semiconductor companies are from the US (TI, Fairchild, Intel, IBM).
Jou know that IBM so exist while after the 2WW the USA robbing milions of german Patrnts and Enginers (Operation Paperclip). (Inclusive the Z3 from Carl Zuse) Without this the USA never has advanged rapid.
"the computer was invented in Britain .... " thats very debatable ... Konrad Zuse built a free programmable one earlier as Turing his code breaker ... and he did it alone and 'in academic isolation' ...
Basically the top manufacturers of microchips still go to Europe to buy the tools they need. The Netherlands and Germany has the knowhow, even if their largest customers are from Taiwan or Korea.
Reg. Zeiss, anything that’s really high level, telescopes, binoculars, microscopes, camera lenses, even certain glasses, will have Zeiss optics or lenses in them.
aaand, not only the Diesel Engine was invented in Germany. Also the Petrol Engine (Otto engine) was invented in Germany by Nicolas August Otto aswell as the Wankel Rotary Engine, which was invented by Felix Wankel. So all combustion engines come from Germany, aswell as the first car.
And the rocket, the jet engine, the ramjet engine, the human flight (all basic knowledge is from Otto Lilienthal). So: no Germans - no flight - all walk. You're wellcome ;)
Zeiss also builds cameras, planetariums, microscopes, telescopes and much more. Anything to do with optical and astronomical science.
Zeiss is an optica manufacturer, the best there is in Germany.
Actually, it's pronounced "TSEISS".
Zeiss only makes lenses and mirrors for all sorts of applications. Cameras or space telescopes and basicly everything that uses lenses. ASML only builds machines that produce chips that cost millions and are all custom made. There is a documentary on ASML and its insane how much work is put into that machines. Often they have to do new things like laser shoot a liquid drop thats dropping down in the air to create a single atom or something like that. This machines are absolutely crazy. TSMC, NVIDIA, Samsung and all this chip producers buy the machines for their chip production factories from ASML.
Zeiss makes a lot more than just lenses. They also create maschines to inspect and repair photo masks. Greetings from Zeiss Rossdorf
@@philippgebel134my mom had a friend at zeiss about 20-25 years ago. An old lady, but i think she died. But she was from a family that owned it or something like that. She was very nice and asked what i wanted for my birthday. I said night vision binoculars ;D and she really asked in the company and then replied its only for the army and it wasnt allowed ;-)
@@mucxlx well I hope now you own one! ;o))
american high-tech: telecomunication and weapons
german high-tech: stuff that builds stuff that everyone else needs
A Brit(Alan Turing) invented the theoretical math behind it, a german Konrad Zuse engineered the first version.
the haber bosch process which enabled the world to feed more than a bilion people (creating fertilizer on an industrial scale) we where approaching mass starvation because the guano reserves where almost depleted and farming couldn't produce as much as needed not to mention to feed ten times the amount of people as it does today
maybe the printing press, maybe the diesel engine or the otto-motor, microchips or .. well there are so many but i THINK those are amongs the most important
ZEISS also makes the glasses for glasses (English is weird) They also make many medical products like MRTs and CTs
Also it owns half a city lol
Computers are not an invention of modern times, nor are they solely a German invention, even though Konrad Zuse's work led to the first reliable electronic programmable computer in Germany. The ideas and principles behind modern programmables computers existed over 100 years earlier.
Long before the modern era, the term 'computer' referred to a person who performed calculations. In ancient Greece, around 200 BC, mechanisms like the Antikythera mechanism were created to calculate astronomical constellations. However, the foundational principles of modern computer architecture were first introduced by Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace.
In the 1820s, Charles Babbage began developing the 'Difference Engine', a mechanical calculator designed to compute polynomial functions. Although never completed in his lifetime, the Difference Engine was the first mechanical device intended to automate complex calculations. Later, in the 1830s, Babbage conceptualized the 'Analytical Engine', which was far more advanced and included principles foundational to modern computers. The Analytical Engine was designed to include a control unit, arithmetic logic unit, memory, and input/output mechanisms-core components of modern computer architecture. It also introduced the concept of programmability using punched cards, a method inspired by the Jacquard loom.
Moving forward to the 20th century, Konrad Zuse made significant advancements in computer technology. In 1941, he developed the Z3, the world's first working electromechanical, programmable computer. Unlike Babbage's mechanical designs, the Z3 used electrical relays, which allowed for faster and more reliable calculations. The Z3 was programmed using punched tape and could perform a variety of complex computations, marking a crucial step towards modern computing.
Meanwhile, Alan Turing laid the theoretical foundation for computer science with his concept of the Turing machine in 1936. The Turing machine is an abstract mathematical model that helps us understand what it means for a function to be computable. It consists of a tape divided into cells (which can be seen as memory), a tape head that can read and write symbols on the tape, and a set of rules (an algorithm) that dictate the machine's operations based on its current state and the symbol it reads. Turing's groundbreaking insight was that any calculation or algorithm that can be precisely defined can be performed by a Turing machine, given enough time and tape. This means that a Turing machine can, in theory, simulate the logic of any computer algorithm, making it a fundamental model for understanding computation itself. This concept of a universal machine was pivotal in the development of modern computers and the theory of computation.
Together, these pioneers-Babbage, Lovelace, Zuse, and Turing-each contributed uniquely to the evolution of computing. Babbage and Lovelace introduced the architectural principles, Zuse brought these principles into practical application with his electromechanical machines, and Turing provided the theoretical framework that underpins modern computer science
best utuber, actually gives credit to other channels etc
ZEISS and ASML are at the point where smaller transistors come with problems based on quantum mechanics... They are already only a few atoms in size.
I was actually convinced this would be about the MOS FET
0:21 Its Beer. And when they took a sip, they invented the Computer.
"The Computer was invented in Britain." :D *grabs popcorn
11:20 No Microchip, No Computer.
In the end, we are all just poking around in the dark when we try to understand the world, some more, others less.
I would argue, that the most important invention from Germany is the Haber-Bosch Process.
That's a very niche knowledge ;-)
Veritasium made a video on the subject.
Nope... For sure it's the printing press. Without this archivement, everything else, would be impossible to develope to our todays level in the same amount of time...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 not only that, but the impact on the human brain must have been enourmous. As suddenly
ordinary people were able to read books, starting with the translated Bible by Luther and its rapid distribution. Everybody
wanted to be able to read and they wanted their children to be taught.
@@juttaweise Da gibt es überhaupt keinen Zweifel. Genau deswegen, wurde der gute Johannes G. zum wichtigsten Mann des vergangenen Jahrtausends gewählt...
Just a little hint: the German Z as in Zeiss is pronounced like TS, so it's not Seiss, it's Tseiss.
oh, btw.: what's the Imperial unit for nm?

Zeiss is since a long time THE wird wide findest producer of optical instruments and technical glas. But this is not THE german invention, that chaned everything. This was the invention of printing with movable types.

No, the computer was invented in Germany from Konrad Zuse - Z3 in 1941
