Fun fact: 'Silicon' people, I mean users of computers, laptops, smartphones, etc., know nothing about Jan Czochralski. And yet, without his invention, there would be no Silicon Valley. In 1916, Jan Czochralski developed a method for producing silicon monocrystals. In 1954, engineers at Texas Instruments used it to make the first transistors and then integrated circuits. The road to the digital world of computing was paved.
Of course, this video does not show perhaps the most important discovery that changed the world. Polish physicist Maria Skłodowska Curie and the discovery of polonium and radium.
Ok, being honest it wasn't the Poles who invented the bulletproof vest. It was done by the Koreans many years earlier. Żegleń and Szczepanik improved them.
@@DawidMaul78-by8yh Read about 'Myeonje baegab'. This is the first bulletproof vest as we know it today. The Poles did not invent it because the first vest existed 30 years earlier. Żegleń adapted the idea to more modern weapons.

Fun fact ... Polish invented Vodka. Cheers
lol. the more i know.

Maybe becouse video is about inventions not discovery...
Właśnie, odkryła, nie wyznalazła. Film jest o wynalazkach
Polish special forces cavalry from XVII-th Century- Lisowszczycy where using bullet proved wests instead of armour.
Everybody claim the invention of the Paper Clip.
Apparently, condoms were also invented by Poles. 🤔
it is called mobile phone now... but basiv is a same.

I appreciate the recommendation, but I think I'll stick to reacting from a safe distance. lol
It's not true. These two Poles created the first prototype of a bulletproof vest. Every encyclopedia and scientific sources write about it.
That's not true. These two Polish scientists invented the first prototype of a bulletproof vest. There are no Koreans in this story.
