I have been reading all of your comments with joy. Thank you 😊

That is so cool! Do you know if anyone has a picture of your great, great, great Aunt? Inquiring minds want to know. (I think Davy is fascinating and got such a bad rep in the "Einstein's Big Idea" video, if you have seen that). My next video about Faraday's beginnings mentions him a lot too but from Faraday's point of view. I hope that it treats both men fairly.

Fabrizio T That was such a lovely complement, thank you

Julian Ramírez thanks Julian! You know radio was my weakest area before I started and now I feel like it is one of my strongest! Crazy eh?

aww, that is so lovely. Keep on going. By the way, you might like my videos on Rutherford and on Spectroscopy, they involve Chemistry concepts. Cheers, Kathy

So glad you liked it. I love Davy - wished his story was better known.

So glad you like them. In my opinion, you are just getting to the good stuff.

Kathy Loves Physics & History I totally believe you. The series is getting better and better as it progresses. I really love the way it’s all connected. You illustrate how everybody contributed something to, and for, the overall harnessing, development, and improvements of electricity and the ways in which it can be applied. You’ve laid it out beautifully.

Thanks. This one (and the Volta one) were real surprises to me as I thought I knew about Davy from a video and the real guy was way more interesting and appealing than I expected.

So glad.

So glad you liked it. I wish this video did better as I just adore Davy and wish he was better known.

Thank you 😊

Good point

You are welcome glad you liked it

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics Kathy, I had an idea that you may be interested in both for your channel and as a neat experiment. You may have seen a video of a guy who demonstrates gravitational forces in space by rolling steel balls onto a trampoline frame covered in a latex type cloth? That experiment is supposed to demonstrate the fabric of time/space and diagrams of Einstein’s theory take that form, more-or-less a large object in space curving a 2 dimensional grid. He had several million views so I guess it was quite a hit! The idea is to show this in 3 dimensions based on a Galileo thermometer type apparatus. As I understand it, that thermometer has floats in it that gravitate to a certain depth of fluid depending on the temperature of the fluid they are in. So perhaps if you take a large square sided glass bowl filled with this liquid and put a heat source in the center, like a tea element. Looking down on the bowl, the central part should be slightly warmer than the walls of the bowl. Perhaps rotate the liquid slowly. The Galileo floats should find a spot HORIZONTALLY comfortable for them between the walls of the bowl and the element (which is representing the mass full object in space). This should demonstrate that space time works more like a viscosity (3D) than warping (2D). Thank you! I hope my little comments on your videos have not spammed you I am watching my way through them and it helps me remember where I was. Have a nice day. Pete.

I had no idea! Thanks

Thanks - I love Davy's story.

Good point! Interesting

I have never heard of that podcast,, I have to be honest I don’t often listen to podcasts, but I love being guests on podcasts.

Diseño de Sueños Great question, the Royal Institute where Faraday worked got its money from its members which were the leading people in Britain at the time. Davy did several jobs for the British government and he would work as a chemist for local businesses.

Oh, I see, thank you. So the academy where galvani worked was also supported by leading italian people at the time?

@@disenodesuenos1247 hrm good question, Volta was a professor so I assume they paid him but honestly I don’t know (I know the university where galvani worked paid pretty well)

I also talk about Jane Marcet a bit more in my next video about Faraday.

That is so cool that you are related to him! I’ve never read anything particularly racist from Humphry Davy, but considering when he lived you are probably correct that the chances are high that he wouldn’t of been particularly happy with you being half-black. Are you a descendent of his brother, John Davy?

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics not entirely sure. My grandfather is from the UK and told me about Humpry and gave me a book on him.

@ BatEzioMan Don't worry . What goes around etc........We're almost at the stage where you have to apologize for having NO black ancestry ! Give it another few years.....

According to my phone it was Joseph Priestly in 1772.

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics Your phone agrees with my laptop. I love your style of video. At least I was paying attention... right? = ) Something has really astounded me. It is how many times I see that a mistake or good luck caused something to be discovered. (Vulcanization of rubber, antibiotics, radiation, etc, etc) I'd like to see a video or a series on that. I don't know if you are thin on ideas for new videos or not. (I'd do it myself, but I'm mad because I had to look up who invented laughing gas, so...)

You sound like my husband. 🤣

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics I've have no doubt 😊.. My ex and I agreed with hair length, so we never had a spat about that..
