Powerful television

Big upps to the cac gawd...

Eh. This show is a let down to me. Probably mostly because it's geared toward children. Outside of the visuals, I'm taking The Universe over this. Still got it on DVR though.

Spoiler

Can't hate on you for liking The Universe...good show.

Tyson on giving airtime to opponents of the Big Bang: "You don't talk about the spherical earth with NASA and then say let's give equal time to the flat-earthers,"

Curmudgeon ass Hooke.

Hooke was good friends with the adventurer Captain Robert Knox, who often traveled to distant lands to acquire strange plants and other curiosities. One such curiosity, brought back to London in 1689, was a quantity of “bangue,” or marijuana. In Hooke’s diary entry from October 24, 1689, he describes it as a “wood spongy like a rush. beset with thornes 2 inch long & sharp like furs…” This plant was “accounted very wholsome. though for a time it takes away the memory & understanding.” In December, he gave the Royal Society a lecture on cannabis:

… The Vertues, or Quality thereof, are [in India] very well known; and the Use thereof (tho’ the Effects are very strange, and, at first hearing, frightful enough) is very general and frequent: and the Person, from whom I received it, hath made very many Trials of it, on himself, with very good Effect.

But cannabis, although wonderful, was only rarely available. Hooke tended to prefer opiates for a good night’s sleep.

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

This episode was aight to me. Good info, don't get me wrong, I learned a bit more about Newton and Hooke, and can't say I remember learning about Halley at all but I just wished the episode was about more than just the 3 of them. It felt more "Science History" than Science. Still can't wait for next week though

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

I feel late as fukk for not knowing that this level of Black Excellence was out there. nikka been dropping jewels for years.

We need a Tyson smilie brehs.

 

[killacal]

They did Newton dirty as fukk Trying to jack his ideas 2x

 

[feelosofer]

I like those stories about Newton and Hooke, it really is a parallel for modern times and shows how petty politics gets in the way of progress.



Graog was probably feeling the same way when that crab nikka Kruuu was hating on his wheel.

 

[Oh1one]

Just watched the second episode. Two things had me like

• Mutation is random.
• Evolution doesn't happen to one person but to a group of people (Think this is roughly what was said)

Am learning some ish
