      In some woodworking traditions designing and building a staircase was considered to be a journeyman's masterpiece; that is, the work which graduated him to the rank of "master". So having one's name attached to a (really nice) staircase is not unsurprising.

    I have only just seen this video. I spent a lot of time at the Royal Society during during the 70s and early 80s. My Grandparents lived in a flat which was right at the top ,they looked after various professor's that were visiting and staying. I met Sir Bernard Lovell many times. My Grandad was a caretaker. I spent so so many days there,i knew my way around so well. It looks quite different now in some places .Huge memories for me and my sister. I have so many stories.

    A minor technical correction. Tim Berners-Lee did not invent the Internet. He invented the World Wide Web, (not the same thing) or more specifically the version of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) which has developed into our modern web browsers. The Internet was developed much earlier as the ARPA Net. For an excellent, easy to understand book on the Internet, I recommend "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet" by Matthew Lyon and Katie Hafner.

      there are plenty of Royal Societies out there-Royal Society of Literature, Royal Meteorological Society, Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
      but the fact that *the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge* was founded at least a century before any of the other ones made sure that they would be _the_ Royal Society.

    That was a wonderful tour. Thank you. I greatly appreciate the small easter eggs that are found such as the window knobs and the friezes above the entryway. That is because, with those tiny unexpected easter eggs, there is no “anticipointment”. The anticipation of seeing something usually somewhat negates the excitement of seeing it. Thus, to enjoy something fully, it’s best to have no expectations and to find things unexpectedly. I do hope that all of Kieth’s knowledge (about every nook and cranny and staircase) has been written down for his successors. He is truly the master of his house and no one knows the house like its master.

I mean, Keith is just about as fascinating as the Society itself. I think if you took Keith away, the videos would be a bit....boring? Maybe not the best adjective but he really makes the videos pop, especially with how he and Bradey get on. lol. Such great fun. Thank you all!

      Brady's impact on the future of science and mathematics is difficult to comprehend. I recently started my undergraduate degree at UCL and almost everyone I know watched the Numberphile, Computerphile, etc. videos and were at least partially inspired by them to pursue the sciences. There's a coming generation of scientists who owe their discoveries to Brady. If that's not worth something, nothing is.
