Really Old 1836 Astronomy Book (3 Hours) | ASMR whisper

what do you got ourselves quite the rainstorm outside right now hope you guys nope you don't mind it I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the boat review the gloss through this book last time so let's let's keep at it carry on and I guess good news I'll start off with the best news is that yes that we got the even older and in better shape better quality book of the geography of the heavens that I talked about ordering classes last video and it came in so let me show you right and I couldn't tell you how ecstatic it was this buckle is about $25 to my door which is cheaper than the most of modern astronomy books and in this case it sure it's gonna be very out of date and have a lot of just you know ignorant assumptions like we said last time just a lot of missing information but that's the that's the wonder of it you can tell super-nice it's a very very mobile I like it no shrill cracks you can tell this is the introductory page and man I don't know where to begin with all of this there's so many areas I want to cover I think I'll make this really long video or at least make it into break it into parts sew it together to make a three or four hour long video you guys can Doyle - you know put on the background while you do more important things like work and sleep one of the most interesting things that's smacking us in the face is the a tangible history of the book the most recent of which is a note and I think about from this is 1972 dad with much love from Brenda jokes aside though this in 1970 just to put it into perspective was already almost 250 years old and I'm still probably gonna put 200 year old book in the title because I mean guys it's this is the fifth edition this is the third additional to show you the inside it's from 1836 we have another inscription again how cool is that not really sure why I mean Brenda's got some damn good handwriting so I can't really we can't really be better for wanting to write a personal telling her dad must've really loved astronomy but again she wrote a note on the next page I guess this is page 1 so on the second blank page we have another note in very very I don't know is it anachronistic but it's very 1800 the font it's so cool I love how perfect without text book del oh there there cursive was let's see what this strata are let's focus this okay I hope you guys can read that I think this is a Search Search me diligently and I don't know what that word is if it's a person ooh with this be brown Wilson may be an age for doing I'm sure September of 1818 43 that's 27 18 years before the Civil War and man's just cool search me diligently and I think that's what I love about this book is it's accessible to an individual like myself and like many of you weren't really formally educated in either Sciences or let alone astronomy in particular and that's who this book was dedicated to so it's here that says 1836 and yeah so it's I got the microphone slightly off there and I gotta be careful I know you guys again are probably hating on me fur he had to like this but I I wash my hands very very good I actually heard that when you put gloves on you might be and what's the word just you know tracking dirt without realizing it so so uh anyways this yes what's a spine though this book originally looked like we have two versions this one's three years younger and I just can't believe again this it's got embossing on here it's you could see it I think in the right lighting in the back it's like many books of from a series they advertise the other types of similar books geography and if modern brief that's interesting and then we have a much geography in Annapolis which I tried to look up and they don't they don't have any they actually print modern versions of this atlas I guess I think it's a like the market or projection and say type of Atlas it's is a type of system systemising of an atlas anyways parlays geography history of the world so I'm thrilled I'm super excited about about this purchase it was amazing and I guess off to put some time stamps in this for those of you actually interested in the meat of the book which again we I think it depends how long a record but we'll be talking about them primarily the introduction by this guy Thomas dick llt main portion of the book is by Elijah Burt and Thomas decked I looked them both up so it's actually easier to learn about he's on Wikipedia Elijah didn't make the cut I guess yet maybe I'll make an entry form and maybe had a picture of this book that'd be cool but apparently Thomas dick is yeah he has an interesting history he's a famous well it was a very well-known astronomer worked with many famous astronomers of the early 1800s in the late seventeen hundreds even in the first thing after I get done showing you the in the back here we're gonna be tackling Thomas's mr. or dr. dr. decks introduction here again it's I feel like it's a it's a conjunction of the tactile history age of the book the actual materials and the timeline which you know they they come out of look I'm getting a little bit on my hand and you know the writing the context of the this speech in which they write not only that but the knowledge that they had and and that's just so that the history is so so just overflowing out of this book alright so that's okay okay so where do we begin let's argue over there in case you hear some dogs shuffling around shifting positions while they're laying down once well it's uh it's a rainy day out right now as you can tell we just had a big old storm rolled through though this introduction it's gonna be the focal points of today's episode but I also once I have some peripheral things like this book here to put it in perspective anyways writing will take care of all address some outlines okay sorry I did just my my volumes there oh here we have some health plans well we'll be using to work our way through the the introduction here so it makes a preface kind of a justification telling you why you wrote the book and very briefly explaining how he wants it to be used for about 14 or 15 pages option that we have Thomas Dix introduction to this book very beautiful very poetic so we'll talk about that he goes into the you he puts astronomy really in the context of its importance to humanity and spiritual alright so the again we have and sorry I would do auto focus but it gets so bright that's just okay so we have this book I think the binding is beautiful I really don't understand why the modern bookmakers don't use this I mean I wonder if this is real it just um yeah it just seems overall like it yeah such much so much more quality than typical modern art cover books okay so don't want to show you let's see yeah so let me know the comments any of you guys could make that word out I'm not sure if it's I'm not sure what that searched diligently 200 year-old penis you guys tell me what you think maybe it was maybe this was used as a like a textbook or something at some point we have some random seemingly random letters and I tried to search want to show you the end here we have the telescopic appearance penis these are these little spots because Venus doesn't have any moons really dense cloudy atmosphere was ever maybe those more plumes coming from a volcanic eruption bursting through something as far as I know Venus in visible wavelengths looks like a solid you know whites overcast cloudy or to the naked eye now this party here want you guys to tell me about this says as best as I can read it it says the discovery of Neptune so this is the remember this was written ten years before Neptune was discovered in 1846 1846 and that's why I got this I even brought out the old the book our universe National Geographic atlas of our universe the one I used in gas giants video just show you guys a little perspectives in this book ten years uh so you know obviously in 1846 after Neptune was discovered by both a French and English astronomers mathematicians using painstaking calculations to deter Ives they get this focus to derive the the mysterious location of an object that appeared to be and in fact was pulling and tugging and slowing in the speeding up of the orbit of Uranus which was discovered in 1781 I think the late 18-hundreds either way a little late 18-hundreds so this is just so awesome so it's so amazing you can sell it was written you know much later I mean maybe it was written in the year it was discovered but oh it says 18 to 46 right there there we go sorry I gotta get a do stand for my phone or just a new better way to look at this has one new planet discovered right there 1846 named Neptune forty six thousand or 40,000 miles in diameter which I think that's pretty right okay so we have what else does it say 1846 [Music] yes the center something those Pleiades is it the bleed is okay yeah you guys are gonna have to make that out and let me know in the comments if you can I think it says something else the Pleiades is the center around which the Sun the Sun will do something in 218 million years Sun circles maybe I don't know I can't make that word out and that word either you guys let me know all right so let's open this up the preface written in 1833 and you can see let's get out more director for you so this right here the first couple pages actually popped out what use that to our advantage let's show how they changed okay see this is I don't know why they did this now okay so they changed the if the outline it looked like there was a very clear distinction between see the analyst guide you know again this came with a what do you call it an atlas you know they came with it it was partnered with an atlas so I shirt references references the maps with widget game but it was broken into two parts the constellations here how you I don't know risk I don't want wrong this there we go um yeah the first 35 240 or 4 pages describe the 12 astrological zodiacs sections of the sky and the second part is more I guess more focused on local objects of the solar system asteroids comets Northup lights Northern Lights as a part of the earth sky we have something interesting here the precession of the equinoxes let me see if I can find they're under Equinox there it is okay 262 112 yeah so this book has been altered in its arrangement a little bit but uh yeah just this is much more the old version though it's easier to understand as far as an index goes and it's interesting that you look at the look at what's offset it's kind of like edit angle the text with respect to the actual page but I think I might read have this one once we start reading the introduction so I couldn't handle the the already broke you know leave this one more intact but but the yeah I thought it was interesting that the index is in the front as you can see there is no now that I have the complete book you know and you can see stamp stamp up the last chart it's just cool boy now as we go as I can see examples but oh here's a really an example right there you can see see the embossing maybe you could hear it anyways it's it's very very cool to think that this thing this whole book exists before so many of the things that we take for granted before well we'll get into that when we look at the ribbons of time yeah look they got a lousy Florida right there that's very cool used to abbreviate it as FA the first and last letters of that okay I guess we beat around the bush as long as I can't hear our introduction is Costa page and I don't know what these are I don't know where those numbers come from because if that's marking the footnote or something but this is page 26 the preface in the introduction all right Roman numerals so if you don't practice there alright so so so so let's grab this maybe put this back set that over there and yeah I gotta be careful with that book this what do I want to get to first [Music] all right there's a an attraction between two objects that is proportional to their mass in relation to the inverse of the distance the square of the distance between those two objects it's the are is the center I have here the distance center of the two masses so about the distance of each objects from the center of masses of the center of this pin it weighs a little heavier than the pencil so the center of mass is gonna be closer to the pen so far if we're measuring the force I believe it goes the force of mass one on mass - yes this equation using the mass one on mass - actually no I don't wanna say I know cuz I don't if i had to guess that's what i'd say but I might be wrong but anyways it's generally the force and that is what R is gonna be measured with respect to so if you're measuring the force of this on this pen you're gonna measure R with respect maybe the art would be maybe it's the distance from the center of mass of these two objects closer to the pen because the Pens heavier but still outside of the bend from the bend to that center of mass anyways you get the force which is the acceleration it's F equals MA is a famous equation its mass times the acceleration under which that mass undergoes the mass which that the acceleration which that mass undergoes it's the measure of how much time it takes for a object of a certain mass to move a certain distance and the change and that's velocity so acceleration is the change in velocity meaning how fast let's say the time in which it takes for an object to change from moving a certain distance over a period of time to moving a greater or lesser distance in the same period of time I'll get into that too much more that's up and some like to say for a proper maybe maybe a small little lesson on rocket propulsion or something like that that would be cool all right I busted this book my perception changed pretty quickly now you guys couldn't see the the title I saw the statue before I saw the title oh so yeah I think we can all benefit from a quick context of the book I busted this out on a live stream a month or two ago maybe a couple months I lose track of time sorry I keep getting interrupted but yeah you guys seem to like this this book is 500 years of world events and literature religion philosophy art in architecture and show you the performing arts and science and tech is in America is its own category because it is an entirely new continent but you find our place yeah okay nice that was entirely once it up this right here look at the book about I'd say about 80% of the book is prior to 1833 but so we have you know as far as astronomy goes we have Galileo well like this Copernicus is the oldest century after that we have Kepler and Galileo Copernicus is in the let's say around 1500 we'll just say roughly average Galileo so he's still full on into the late Renaissance we could say guess let's try to find him that's the time both Raphael and Michelangelo posh let's keep it outside to technology notice not much in the yellow science and technology here glass mirrors were greatly improved by a new Venusian manufacturing technique out of which the status of an individual was much elsewhere outside of Italy your status was entirely genetically dependent or at least reddit reddit airily dependent on your bloodline whether you came from oil tea there's very little chance change show the social castes whereas Italy the late Renaissance if you were intelligent you still are very you notice you're an exceptionally talented artist or statesman you have to be a very talented say manipulator of capital and wealth trades goods but nonetheless Italy was this Center it was the place most likely to be had been j-just as someone looking to change their life it was the it was the center of the Renaissance so let's keep that in mind a lot of innovation happening there in other words both social and technological I don't want to go through all this but I just want to keep in mind all this happened you know 15:33 is uh you know just 30 20 now this is maybe 20 years after Columbus discovered America or the Caribbean islands at least so America is just being populated black slaves imported into Hispaniola from Spain replace the more abundant laborers Newfoundland God banks starting to be explored supported Columba shipwrecked for a year all right yes I want to go over all this some other time as far as let's see technology is concerned I got da Vinci sunflowers from America introduced by the Spaniards yeah we still have extremely it is the emergence into modernity the first you know vestiges of industrial industrialization weren't just starting to pop up little tiny inventions that would in the future manufacture soap that would allow hundred to three hundred years later see the mass manufacture in big industrial plants manufacturing plants of textiles you know cloths and individual parts for guns and other tools and things the technologies and the methods of craftsmanship that would eventually lead to those hundreds of years later work a lot of you know first hand science that's what I love about this but this book is way closer to I would say this in terms of in terms of the proximity to having to observe you know roughly polished lens and this book was before electric the electric light bulb for instance so in a way this book in 1833 it's much closer to its 300 year old 200 year old lifestyle just even more we consider basic tools we have transportation we have air mail we had the telephone and you know further back we had the telegram to communicate nearly instantaneously we had an airmail airplane noise it allowed us to have much more instantaneous we communication the relationship for the individual to nature as it were is much more removed nowadays is this is what I'm trying to get at I guess we didn't have air conditioning we didn't have modern anesthesia and surgery you know no refrigerated foods you don't unless you're literally in a place where it's snowing most food most if not all food was not preserved it was fresh fresh meat if you had any meat if you were wealthy enough to eat me that you didn't catch yourself you know even the gun up until the early to mid eighteen hundreds I think was was a musket involved you couldn't there was no revolver or anything it was one shot every two minutes or so long it took you to reload that musket ball so warfare was different everything we think about today writers of this book they were born in the seventeen hundreds so they were much closer and that's why yeah I think my point and the significance of that for me is that they were much more aware the implications of astronomy for civilization and for the flourishing of society as well touch upon we read the introduction you know as far as needing to keep track of when to plant so that you literally didn't starve syphilis entire societies starved because of a miscalculation of when the rains would come and therefore no floods and navigations across oceans Columbus relied not on a GPS using Einstein's theory of relativity to track them really no radar don't hide our no radio communication no electric lights in a lighthouse by the Stars machine designed by German Germans have always been good at anything scholastically engineering lies that's interesting chemotherapy in 1527 I look into that later that's really interesting okay that's a whole nother episode I want to touch upon sometimes be this tight intermingling of alchemical astrological scientific disciplines okay now mind you he died in 1543 so he lives though he was 70 years old I believe so early 15 hundreds Copernicus had already been working on a novel conception of the the Sun as the center of the universe he got that part wrong but the right in terms of making being one of the first people to publicly make a distinction between the earth being the center of the universe and the earth being another body that is in fact that the main idea that was significant was that the earth was moving the earth is actually in rotation around a more a significant object in the into your firmament as they used to say which i think is a beautiful word we'll be reading that word a lot more as well 15:43 500 years later roughly we have Galileo and Kepler the barium sulfide anybody taking a medical imaging MRI or what not x-ray usually has to swallow a lot of barium okay get a log of the stars we're gonna see a lot more astronomy the again the best juju the vestigial the proto elements of astronomy the early 1500 Kepler and Galileo Kepler be taking Copernicus and running with it and saying yes he was right and in fact the Kepler says he had it on to that by suggesting in a very mathematical way that the planets the earth Thunder sounds good now I hope it's not too much of a distraction in other words the significance here you set the orbit in a predictable fashion so we can predict features of the universe that were previously mysterious and separated into the realm so you can see the danger of being that's why Galileo was put on house arrest instead of you know being burned at the stake I think he chose the lesser the lesser of the two punishments you could see the authority of God and his spokesman was being put into question if diligent and tedious and very methodical observations could yield predictions about the heavens which were supposed to be God's realm but of course it's we can now make a distinction between science in terms of explaining what is and now non-human objects operate and philosophy and psychology in religion and spirituality which explain how human minds human consciousness the patterns that we act out and that inform how we should navigate the world outside of us that science explains so there's a there's a distinction there but we you know at the time just like Kepler and Newton they made they establish expertise in multiple disciplines so I love how Newton was on top of being the inventor of calculus he's one of the most revered scientists ever respected almost divinity in terms of scientists in that as close as you can get in the science room he was a mathematician physicist you know before these or even careers he was a optom yeah physicist dealing with light yeah he made a significant career out of controlling the English mint and the you know the what do you call it the institution that pressed and created coins English currency he was in charge of the you know overseeing the ratios of different metal alloys that went into the standard gold and silver copper bronze of the English currencies traded at the time coins um and so on top of all that he was a mysteriously he was to us nowadays it seems to the uneducated observer he was seriously alchemy and that seems like pseudoscience and superstitious nowadays but as Carl Jung has pointed out and made a very compelling case for alchemy is actually a very a very symbolic way of understanding how humans think and what we wish for and how we perceive the world in a fairy a very even non-spiritual or at least non-religious way alchemy tells us a lot about scientific people viewed the world and therefore tells us a lot about see the ideas that permeated in society long before modern science so dominant uses so okay so we have Copernicus early fifteen hundreds fast forward 100 years a century later early sixteen hundreds here we have Kepler and Galileo Copernicus is fifteen hundreds of you Kepler and Galileo were able to actually make a Kilauea sensed case observations of Jupiter Jupiter's moons are on the moon Venus Mercury Mars the other planets Saturn I don't think he observed tyrannous at least knowingly he might have thought it was a comet or something like that but the the science of astronomy was crystallizing into a bit during a system of ideas about our universe that could withstand the criticism and scrutiny and scientific rigorous observation and investigation so it's a compounding domain of inquiry that is building on one another [Music] Galileo fast forward 100 years in the 70 hundreds yeah this is he was an astronomer again it's so interesting these guys are very tied at the tail end because these guys last part of the last few generations right before the modern era the Industrial storm was fast approaching at the time of this book if you will I say that because a human should go out a huge storm storm is actually so and there we go fantastic I enjoy the experience I guess that's why it's you know just [Music] interesting compounding you know discoveries about the universe on top of everything science is revealing on earth we have a continual revealing of the the phenomena of the universe always happening it's just I guess all of the instruments or so seemingly primitive but I think I get so much like this right here for instance this is a great example quadrant so the reflecting quadrant invented by John Hadley alcohol a thermometer so you know one of the first thermometers was invented and these seventeen hundred's on the hundred years what 1920 is to us this is the year 2020 just in case you're watching it decades from now somehow what 1920 is to me in us right now this all these does it go how many things that we look at as just ridiculously primitive wears only about a hundred years old these guys maybe 200 years old maybe 300 at the most you know this these guys in this book were roughly contemporaries of you know they were maybe a generation or two after the founding fathers of the Constitution so maybe three generations now probably too cuz they were already established when they wrote this book so maybe even one one generation away which is interesting to think I think this guy okay so this book in the context of at the time it was written because we have computers and technology and all this abstract you know even the theory of relativity is really hard to understand the fact that time time ticks slower under mass gravitational inform influence is really difficult think that is over 100 years old right now to us it was seventy years away from being invented at the time of this book and I just feel like if I were a science teacher and of course in a way I kind of am here I get so much more out about these primitive scientific discoveries and instruments and perceptions of the world because you understand that we didn't just go from the Middle Ages to Einstein we went from the Middle Ages to about 800 years you know maybe a thousand years of slow you know a hundred generations maybe or was that 50 maybe 50 generations of people they had to slowly methodically carefully you know incrementally build upon this structure of inquiry into the world so all right so we have two so I want to get up to the Year 1833 focus on to this book [Music] non-euclidean geometry developed by russian mathematician nikolai love Oh Jeff skate this integral without this relativity Einstein's conceptions would not have a mathematical foundation you would have not have been able to develop anything even if he did have the insights that he did it would have at least taken decades longer I'm sure so years electromagnetic induction was working at this time he was a contemporary of these guys let's see the pistol my Colt famous American pistol the first repeating fire the first one that you didn't have to load every shot is stellar parallax I feel like that was pretty close okay list of everything that comes after this book this book was written before all of this it was written before anesthesia it was written before the faintness type of battery that was popularized it was written before the concept of a unit gallery module hydraulic cranes were later Neptune 1846 it was before Darwin Karl Marx before reinforced concrete the second law of thermodynamics Bunsen burners okay machine oh yeah the okay steam hammer it was written before the scientific demonstration of the rotation of the earth written before the printing Telegraph it was written before still the cheap production the wine production of Steel the Civil War of course is all is bubbling up 1861 is when it starts let's see some significant months of pasteurization the internal combustion engine was written twenties invented 27 years later dynamite was invented 35 years later something like that Mendel F devising the periodic table of the elements was not even written at the time of this so many things the modern concept of what light fundamentally is or at least its relationship to electromagnetism it was not known until forty years neech over here of course aren't you guys get the idea did you get the idea radio is the scientific instrumentation of radio waves let alone the mass production of them in small machines we used to transmit talk shows and music and auditory plays to mass artists audiences in the early nineteen hundreds radio waves were produced by Heinrich Hertz and then Thomas Edison and rubber gloves for the first time the term electron what is why you're hearing right now in the background x-rays okay so I just wanted to try to put this bug get the context next so here's our let's see I'll get the last thing I want to do before we actually finally get into the introduction to okay Zoe alright so we have the Reverend Thomas dick here I wanna show you guys the this guy was a he was born in 1774 so he was I guess I got two generations after the founding fathers he what did he do so he was an art a Christian you made it to 82 looked like you was finally given a pension of 50 50 pounds a year studied as a teacher in birth oh I thought that was Australia all right so this guy they believed every planet was inhabited that's interesting he wrote some books Nazi his books enable the advances made by the Scottish enlightenment in the previous century flourish [Music] he was a an abolitionist I was willing that the world should know that he hates the peculiar institution of slavery the Christian philosopher was some of his books the connection of science with religion and so he does Africa's intro is touching upon religion the other half is a very interesting equally I guess maybe depending on your perspective take on the practical uses of astronomy the philosophy of a future states in which Christian theology is compatible with the empirical science of Francis Bacon it was a famous famous of one of the first modern scientists in the 1500 sixteen hundreds okay anyways Yankee wrote some books on astronomy very much in line with a logic buret which is why he you know wrote his introduction collaborated with them on this book called the practical astronomer here we go here it is so I want you to understand that this guy was not a a career academic or at least in being in the beginning I want you to understand the context with which all these ads pop-ups um he had this guy so this guy was oh he was just I really enjoy his perspective that he was a layman's and wanted I guess I I find a likeness between myself and him because he just wanted to share the you know inspiring the imaginative awesomeness of science and not not the methodology the the at times boring and tedious and difficult methodology of science but the but the generic let's see the results of it that they outlined the gosset effect of the universe the general concepts that we can use to protect the world around us and understand how nature works and it's magnificent complexity complexities I guess so he wrote in a more understandable style then was common in the textbooks of the day you know I'd argue even some today because there is that balance between writing excessively and let's see like you know a lot of famous popularizers Sean Carroll bright green get a real interesting looking guy Lawrence Krauss I feel like they overly simplify that's why I like Eric Weinstein I feel like they pander to the audience a little bit so anyways created this combination textbooks specifically to get students out there under the stars okay so it was a smash hit the sixteenth edition we have the third and fifth editions three hundred thousand copies so he was a little success so I want you to recognize this guy where he came from reading the book he was 18 when he was 18 he ventured into a town nearby does 32 years to become a blacksmith which was very very young necessary essential business unfortunately he suffered maybe a smelting accident along with the motivation from his friends this caused him to enroll in Williams College in Massachusetts where he studied astronomy so he'd read a lot about it during his recovery and his finances so forth like a teaching job and he picked up other odd jobs including editing the newspaper he remained in Georgia for ten years before moving back to New Britain Georgia he married a wife that had five children so oh yeah they born in 1794 and New Britain Connecticut the first of children children that's so interesting yo my grandpa both my dad's parents be four be huge families like a turn I can't see and Molly's parents don't have that nearly that many aunts and uncles so so that's interesting to me now some families didn't some families did so yeah he converted some property he owned to the stone store into a school and installed an observatory yeah that's one of my dreams that's definitely one of my dreams to have my own observatory on a quiet light pollution land out in the mountains maybe out to the near boo or Rock so anyway is he here you began writing geography of the heavens [Music] numbers up to 10 million imagine everything yes before electronic calculators so we don't you have to calculate everything by hand which is amazing the the amount of mundane math that probably went into doing the mathematical calculations for determining the position of a Neptune and they were correct but I don't believe they were correct the first time they tried those so that's interesting okay yeah that's that's really all I wanted to show you guys oh yeah there's no the last part it's kind of sad but it's it's it's a testament to oh there we go but we're safe from right now you know the exposure to the elements and to poverty that these people regularly even someone's successful as this guy was in the early you know anytime before the early you know nineteen hundred's so he already writes this book makes the Atlas so he had a material to these second that's third editions of the book but he died before further editions were printed so interesting so the 1839 edition I got it's probably not one of these editions here they were reissues of the third edition which is oh yes the new wood we have so that's interesting actually look really really damn sure it looks interesting wrong form for that shirt um so this guy this is kind of spice was really tragic he writes the book in 1833 he gets moderate success organized I guess he was but the I think this is a testament to our my sense of connection to his you know his adventure in his spirit is just that that he was willing to sell off what he had I guess concur yet Carell is one of his sisters and a brother to go out to Houston Texas so in 1836 a couple of years after he had read in this book Texas seceded from Mexico it became an independent republic this is around the time of the Alamo I guess car-rental that's that's America for you John okay yeah there we go 18:36 okay Wow interesting um yet this guy [Music] okay I'm sorry guys okay I just wanted to see where roughly it was he went out to take a plot of land that the government because Texas had seceded from Mexico the US was trying to encourage you know Americans French what America was very fresh generations old they were trying to encourage people to settle there so that they could establish that there or do plenty of the prospering families and communities down there which would further support and justify their claims to Texas land now burn was drawn to Texas because the government had passed laws I gave generous lots of land this guy had an adventurous spirit I think they chartered a ship they went on a 28-day voyage from here around the tip of Florida Keywest through the Gulf of Mexico landed at Galveston sort of so apparently a storm wrecked the ship on a sandbar crack of thunder very apt timing there and which delayed the actual landing several days the journey here from Houston on to from Galveston to Houston took a few more days but once they arrived the party had to live in tents because nobody was expecting them now here wait yellow fever broke down and wiped out nearly the entire group including Elijah H your dad it used to just a few weeks later so a sad ending but this guy left his mark on history which I'm interesting late contributing to now by you know being a proponent and and Anton showing is demonstrating his work so we have HP Lovecraft he got praise from the field of astronomy so that's that's good vindicating but then the author HP Lovecraft decided it is aspiration a copy of what she inherited from his grandmother a copy of Bert's geography of the heavens is today the most prized of volume in my library how crazy is that how interesting is the connections through history from mr. Elijah it still / it all the way down to HP Lovecraft so let's find out here all right [Music] [Music] all right right wow that was quite an introduction wasn't it to the interruption this book is which turns out a lot more 25 bucks so what I kind of want to do yes this notebook just kind of maybe write down some things that are interesting about this that mr. Thomas dick has to say about about the MRSA god that uses the uses of astronomy the advantages of the study of astronomy the advantages of the study of astronomy so the best part about this guy's perspective is again Dee's trying to track a good phase of wonder and the the [Music] the closeness of us when we step outside to the heavens and maybe once but also the history the accessibility he wants to convey the accessibility of the heavens to to the layman so he he critiques some of the contemporary atlases of his time by saying that they they do a poor job looking at some of these books of the student well if I did a little better than a fancy sketch the relative positions especially the comparative brightness yes we'll be rarely exhibited with such accuracy that the young observer will be inspired with much confidence it is God so he wants to inspire people with it oh he wants to allow them to successfully be able to locate and identify celestial objects not just points on a on a map or a page but he wants to engage engage them and encourage them to go outside be knowledgeable about these same the same celestial orbs that our ancestors for millennia even millions of years I've been going out and seeing seeking and seeing and using he says I have purposely or personally I guess personally he's done his own investigation into it and recognizes that they aren't these other celestial asset atlases aren't nearly as accurate as as is our so he's of course making a case right out front that is is much more it's useful in general and I like how he says here is the description part of it at least was not composed by the light of the Sun not the daytime principally at least nor of a lamp not even a lamp at night remember this was before electricity so just to paint the picture by the by the light of the stars themselves he says having fixed upon the most conspicuous star or constellation as it passed the Meridian halfway point in the sky and with a pencil carefully noted all the identifying circumstances of position bearing brightness number and distance their geometrical allocation defending and such other descriptive features as seemed the most notice I then returned to my room to transcribe and classify these of memoranda in their proper order so you're repeating the same observations at different hours of the same evening and on the other evenings at various periods for a succession of years a succession of years there so these he's done this personal studies not consulting data tables or anything although we might have done that too but he into this book is his own careful observations so the last thing about this introduction that he says is that he seriously believes that problem that's schools let's see the other do the science of the Stars has been but to very superficially to study in our schools for once of proper nope so they haven't he feels again this work is justified popular science popular understanding by the public of astronomical even general generic codes with astronomical ideas and observations relax and so therefore he really feels adamantly that students would greatly benefit from the you know from this book again accessible vantage point he says he gets upset when he thinks you know he's passionate about the fact that they have a students here as they've continued to gaze upon the visible heavens without comprehending what they saw they have cast a vacant eye upon the splendid pages of this vast volume as children amuse themselves with a book with which which they are unable to read they've gotta here and there as it were a capital letter or picture but they have failed to distinguish those smaller characteristics on which the sense of the whole depends [Music] so he quotes an eminent English astronomer a comprehensive work on descriptive astronomy detailing in a popular manner all the facts which I've been ascertained respecting evidence is a desert Virata which means a serious necessity something that is very much in need if it's not even if it's not particularly in demand which the 300,000 copies of this book apparently show that you know refute for as it was very much in demand after all I love very humble how far this desirable end is accomplished though in the following in the following work I helped lead leave to the public you guys to decide and so at last we returned to the index a jump little table of contents of sorts so we got it drop it uh let's see yeah these are all for the most part these are all mostly constellations yes Stars sexton's the sextant asteroids comments likes the lights of night and day equinoxes the ecliptic forces attractive and projectile gravitation oh I forgot this book in part 2 it starts all over again with the solar system right there so the page numbers start over again so halfway through it jumps to considerations of more local objects assuming I believe even back then 1833 they assumed the Stars were much more distant oh well they just assumed they actually do because if the general effect that the Stars remained for the most part unmoving whereas [Music] at the bottom what do they used to be called love questions at the beginning at the end of each page regarding the comprehension of the text or the planets in their orbits we discovered the great truth this great truth and that was he affected how was he affected by the view of it yeah I loved the integration of history into this book I love that this book I love that this book is on it's so much more than just a dry factual yo FAC spitting machine it's very cool if you guys heard a sigh that was hurting okay so after the index we have the introduction furthest down so we have Uranus not called I guess it wasn't called Uranus Neptune was discovered and even Neptune I believe was they attempted to I guess Mercury Venus Mars Saturn Jupiter world already named after classical mythology alright the advantages of the study of astronomy astronomy as a science which has in all ages engaged the attention of the poet the philosopher in the divine and being the subject of their study and admiration Kings have descended through the Romans to render homage and sometimes enriched it with their labors zico probably for instance was a nobleman was very central to the study of astronomy in the 1500 and humble shepherds humble humble Shepherd while watching their flocks at night FPL with rapture the blue vault of heaven with its thousand shining arms moving insulated grandure till the morning star announced the approach of day the study of this science must have been temporary existence of nocturnal sky can be helped walking brightness among the planetary arms and the host of stars but must have been struck with the awe and admiration at the splendid scene and it's sublime movements and excited to inches enquiries into nature the nature of the motions and the destinations of those four distant orbs compared with the splendor the amplitude the August of motions and the ideas of infinity which the celestial vault presents the most resplendent terrestrial scene sinks into identity in appearing worthy and being sent in competition with the glories of the sky as always saying they're the really anything any science studying anything in the world on earth it doesn't really you know it pales in comparison to the concepts the the vast distances of both space and time said are represented by the observations made in the firmament above independently of the sublimity of its objects and the pleasure arising from their contemplation astronomy is also a study of vast utility in consequence of its connection with terrestrial arts and sciences many of which are indebted to the observations of the principles of this science for that degree of perfection to which they have attained so it goes on from here to [Music] a couple pages to just elaborate on some of the interesting historical impacts and completely crucial uses of astronomy just invaluable situations that have [Music] advanced radically advanced our understanding of other areas of science using the stars above different features of them so I'll tell you what I'm gonna do because I just actually noticed this piece falling off which scares me so I'm gonna put this bad boy sigh we're not gonna touch this one anymore because the the text is the same we're gonna use this this copy instead I believe it was right there the introduction okay this first part about geography is something completely I've never even heard of this concept I didn't even think it was possible that alone possible with you know this guy so Thomas dick is um he's saying astronomy has been well the point is they they measure the gravity of a mountain in Scotland and I had to look this up but they actually I figured out a couple of things but there's a mountain called shelleyan Shelley initially in Scotland Mountain shalyah they could spell with a know nowadays yeah and they specifically picked out this mountain because it was very symmetrical very good shape and they could get a very accurate estimate of its volume and the size length at night and what they did was actually measure its gravitational pull on strings that are plumb that are just you know hanging like this and the fact that gravity is what makes a plumb line straight up and down straight perpendicular to the Earth's you know the average of the Earth's surface they were able to measure the slightest [Music] slightest bit of tilt on one side of the mountain they went over to the other side of the mountain flight you know almost imperceptible but somehow I can't even believe this is real but it is and it's been verified and not only that it it didn't even happen it happens before the eighteen hundreds it happens I think it was in the mid 1700s it might have been in the late let's find out but astronomy has been of immense utility to the science of geography and Yuri means actually understanding the makeup above the earth you know learning about Geo study often geo with the earth rich chief it is chiefly in consequence of celestial observations that the true figure of the earth has been demonstrated and its density ascertained it was from such observations made on the moon she might be like alien in Scotland that the attraction of mountains was determined the observations were made by taking the Viridian distances of different effects to the stars and near the zenith funny yourself and afterwards on the north side of the hill and with the plumb line of the sector was found in both cases to be deflected from the perpendicular towards the mountain that's so crazy so it's like saying that that the line as they drew near to the evil they obviously measured you know miles and miles away they measured with respect to the stars so more flat ground away from any melons I think they strategically picked this number because there weren't many other mountains within the region around it so it wasn't like in the Alps or and that's a bit you know tibetan plateau where everest is day or they had a bunch of monopolist you know geological mountain ranges to deal with what they did was make sure they measured at different distances from the mountain the deflection towards and then they went to the other side and measure the deflection and the way they did that was they used the stars to look and see how far it deviated from the star that was situated directly overhead at a particular time at night directly and from the calculations founded on the quantity of this deflection the mean density of the earth that was ascertained it was likewise by means of a celestial observations of celestial observations that the length of a degree of the meridian was measured and the circumference of the globe with all its other dimensions accurately ascertained [Music] yeah how amazing is that so oh yeah let me just I keep talking into this so let me just get it out of the way before I do I'll show you this is a level just like a 3d printed one right here but you can sit it down on a surface and you could see both yeah you can see both you know vertical right here and the horizontal right there the levels make sure they are yeah this thing's as old as the Egyptians building the pyramids as far as we know [Music] so yeah so these guys [Music] so they has retained a bunch of things a bunch of characteristics about the earth once they knew the you know the pole they have a pendulum well they know these let's see he doesn't wait they know the waves and what else that they figure out from this [Music] yeah Mel Julia anglicized translation means constant store and the lowlands lowland Scots name of the meat that weighing the world 18th century experiments there's a beautiful picture of it right so yeah check this out history the experiment the experiment little more about it right there the experiment previously been considered but rejected I got a sick dude cuz he thought it was gonna require way too accurate of a measurement that they didn't have the tools for at the time and that's what I sure it was a practical demonstration of his theory of gravitation so these guys at 17th also was a little bit later in the seven seventeen hundred's 18th 18th century funded by the Royal Society [Music] thanks to its almost video allowed us to measure distances at this point time was known in particular ratios ratios very proportionate to dooms equation universal gravitation so one pendulum would be the mass of the one mass would be the mass of the pendulum to the other would be the unknown and what they would do is know the distance between well they would know a rough distance between such a small mass in such a large mass as the mountain they would know the force I would say they had this so they have this mountain they have this pendulum that's well man I should have drawn it way down there but if they have a star way up here let's just so imagine this star whether you're here or you're over here or you're right on top of that if this star is sufficiently far away so they wait for the earth to rotate so that a very well not very easy to spot star is way overhead directly overhead on the meridian they call it that's the easiness that's the exact demarcation sides of the sky you're standing here you know what exactly the Meridian cuts it bisects the sky into two sections of 90-degree angles so they were pacing the pendulums initial position wait wait they knew that this was straight up and down because just like this right here yes using Earth's gravity to level to know that an object is oh the bubble is that's why they have two lines right here there's pressure from the water on equal signs of this little container right here and when the Earth's gravity is perfectly perpendicular to this this line right here that bubble will be right pressure on that the liquid is creating you see if you go like this the water will want to be closer because it's down here we want to be closer to these center of Earth's gravity likewise for this so just the air the air is lighter still float to the top and that separates from the water or whatever that is it's probably a really bad wracking explanation but it's the best I got at the moment and it's the analogy with this because away you know Center away this object is straight up with respect to Earth's you know average surface now when it's a year over by the mountain the center of mass of the mouth gravity in this big field you know if we pretend that there's no other significant mountains anywhere near it the anomalous bump on the surface created that this mountain is will add I suppose they you have the best way to describe it is that the the mass of the pendulum the mass of the of the mountain is enough to move a tiny bit your mass because it moves the center of gravity from you know way down here in the center the local gravitational field that this pendulum is sitting right next at the mountain feels so it will feel towards this will move it up just a hair and so anyways instead of going straight towards the Earth's gravity it'll be bold a little bit towards to the now I'll be pulling a little bit that way and they could use this angle right here oh they use trigonometry like we did in my other video to determine the the amount of force that would be required right here so if this is Earth's gravity and this is the amount of gravity this right here will be the you say well don't measure the distinction between B standard the what do they call it the test the control away from the mountain I think though with ninety degree looks like and then they measure the new measurement with a slight deviation from that perfect they measure them to one and they measure the difference and that right there is going to be the force necessary to pull on this pendulum the mass of this pendulum is some measurable dance they don't know the mass of this but they know this and then they measure this and so now out of this equation they have the mass of the pendulum the force that is exerted by the mountain on the pendulum they can probably figure out that based on some trigonometry again where where the radius what the distance from the center of mass is to the pendulum they can measure how tall it is and then break it into a pyramid a geometrical pyramid because of course they chose this mountain just for that reason so that they could easily make a quick you know a rough estimate of its volume and shape and other characteristics and therefore distance from here to here from its outer rim into its center they can make a rough but you know roughly accurate guess and so therefore they have this this and this you just solve for m2 equals R squared times the force divided by that mass and there you go they figured out the mass of this mountain everything above the Earth's field they were able to figure out what that mass probably is and yeah it's just amazing that they what else is let's see what else they should get out of I want to see well so the curvature of the earth that was actually accounted for so they have what they did was take something new that a star was directly overhead and I'd say this is the earth let's forget about this they accounted for the measurements on this side and this side of the mountain I'm being 42 forty-two difference between position one two seconds so degrees this is 90 degrees 90 degrees split up into degrees if that's one degree the degree is split up into I forget how to convey the 16 minutes and then each of those minutes each of those sections of 60 of each degree or split up into 60 seconds just like time so each degree has 3600 seconds of arc in them and these people are measuring a change of 40 to 0.94 so they're measuring in the seconds which are already three 3601 thirty six hundredths of above a degree they're measuring that unit an arc second I guess hundredths yeah 100 the place that's amazing even back then they had tools to be able to do them something accounted for the curvature of the earth which would make you know a slight difference they were able to notice after accounting for that see no I just realized that was all off camera anyways 42.9 that's supposed to be a an inch sign two lines thanks doing they counted for that and then they basically measured SV yes so they measured the true Cena that which they marked by a star way up here and really even like you know make it more accurate you can imagine what a star is relative to the earth yes trillions and trillions of times the distance from the earth to a star is trillions of times if not more what the distance between each side of a mountain would be there is no there's hardly any significant angle from this side to this side of the mountain so they were able to look directly up here on the mountain and on the other side of the mountain this star should have been all the star is directly overhead at the same time you know they do it all simultaneously so the earth the Earth's rotation is also factored out compensated for what's left is the difference of the angle that they call blunt which normally would be directly the line bullying be to the center of the earth we should keep it directly perpendicular to the Earth's surface pointing to the star but because the mountains gravity was pulling it a little bit the line was not straight up it was actually a little bit off and symmetrically so on the other side of the map so with a deflection of 20 seconds of arc seconds they were able to that guy masculine that was the lead of the team was able to produce a fundamental if any doubts remained about the truth of the Newtonian system based on the universal law of gravitation they were now totally removed it's a how amazing was that all right Oh in just a little side note the art of cartography the technique of cartography measuring the lines of elevation around a certain mountain was was was developed just for the purpose of measuring this mountainous elevation you know characteristics so an entire discipline was just invented to be able to help this experiment continue so astronomy is likewise great utility was the art of navigation oh yeah they were able to measure and again an indication of how long ago this was they're able is determine and debunk the all o'er theory music the basically the relative gravitational poles of the mountain found shaylen Julian and the earth in general there helped determine the fact that the mountain do you flagged it I did - [ __ ] - the pendulum enough - I guess based on the fact that they knew the Earth's general size its and how much it both objects its gravitational acceleration in general so they knew that the earth itself was essentially as dense but much more dense and I also think in general we're able to roughly determine the use this to determine the mass of the earth and therefore other masses based on their orbits and the speeds so much it was discovered by measuring the variation of a pole from Drew as they call it true meaning directly perfectly perpendicular to a flat Earth's horizontal surface the deviation of true from the zenith the star was able to determine all this and we couldn't have done it without you know any journal a static unchanging variable like this star the exact opposite of a variable with which to measure all these characteristics of the earth so he goes on to making it a great case for the complete or alliance of ocean travel navigation on stellar phenomena stars I'm getting a little too pretentious here with my poetry without the knowledge of mariner could never have traced his course through the pathless oceans to remote regions the globe never would have been intercourse opened up between the inhabitants of distant lands he was able to ascertain with precision which portney was bound to help this part o able to ascertain with precision on what particular portion of the terror aqueous aqueous a fuse terrestrial and aqueous land in oceans land and water globe what portion of the terraqueous globe he is at any time placed what course he is pursuing how far he's traveled from the board in which from what she embarked what dangerous rocks or shoals lie near the line of his course it's even what direction he is destined to even Valley by astronomical observations are at least chiefly that such particulars can be determined so he can given you can calculate his distance east or west from a given Meridian and by taking the Meridian altitude of the Sun or of a star he can learn his distances distance from the equator which I know is much easier to determine the latitude that you're on the bear log around the thing through the lines distances from the equator the lines parallel to the equator rather than these longitudinal lines that go vertically around the earth because the Earth spins so you have to have precise measurements of time to be able to recognize which stars should be directly over certain areas of night it goes on to talk about how it opened up commerce and of course he skips over some of the more violent and belligerent voyages more plundering I've been at this for a while forgiving top exporter I guess supportive aspects up you know traveling to new continents but oh yes this very very jubilant celebration of travel which is it is great you know it was great it was quite the feat for the adventurers of the fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen hundreds so anyways the promotional philanthropic objects trading commerce and in a real way of course - the slavery it did open up transcontinental transatlantic trans-pacific even commerce which the brought new medals to places and allowed the diffusion of textiles you don't roll what are they going to Wars you know into new markets and spices and all sorts of exotic phenomenon to different parts politics and philosophy of open up a communication between the remotest and habitants of the globe bringing salvation to heathens he says ok so the next part in this science has been no less useful to agriculture this part is it's crucial absolutely crucial the fact that our ancestors well I'll address it as he says it agriculture into the cultivators of the earth the successful cultivation of these soil depends on the knowledge of the courses of the Sun the exact length of the seasons and the periods of the year most proper for the operations of tillage and sowing the ancients were corrected in these operations in the first instance by observing the courses of the revolutionary correspondent [Music] finding the coincidence not to be exact and that the time of seasons was changing in order to know the precise bounds of the sun's annual course and the number of days corresponding to his apparent yearly revolution remember Allah families riding in in the proper context of the ancients how many times the Sun rotate around the earth so it's reversed and that would be you know 365 days or rotations of the Sun around and so we recognized they were obliged to examine stars in the evening interesting you know rotate once around the earth of which corresponds as far as as far as [Music] to have you know aggressive to completely new meaning black in the shadows and then it gains until it's full again from wonderful to the next it's about 28 days but those extra two or three days at the end of art now Julian calendar you know twelve times to about about being a month a month or so and so every year the seasons if they did calculate tillage about the seasons of the seasons by the moon their seasons would be very very off very quickly using the stars however the stars burn are essentially fixed essentially fixed in with respect to I guess with respect to the emotions of all the other objects closest like the Sun moon and the other planets and the occasional you know comets and asteroids the stars are eternal and fixed and so we can get a much more accurate determination of the rotation of the earth around the Sun I guess it would have been hard to recognize that we were returning to the same spot in orbit roughly but once they recognized that it took about you know 365 rotations of the Sun around the earth for the same set of stars to appear on the horizon at you know at dawn or dusk they would recognize that that most accurately corresponds with these seasons the winters the spring in the floods that would come after the rains of the spring and so they wouldn't know he says - you recognize that after a while they were able to distinguish then divided the sky - maybe quarters and then afterwards perhaps even twelve equal parts now called the science of the Saudia which they distinguished by names corresponding to certain objects and operations connected with the different seasons of the year January the melting of the snow I love how he says in such a again such a poetic fashion these as the you know if for some reason our knowledge was lost he says we're the knowledge of these things to be obliterated in any extensive immoral meaning shift of our values and maybe we disregard religion and then astrology and the zodiac science that we had learned if used it our culture up to this point if we threw that away as superstition or physical convulsions meaning war are just mass you know mass destruction in a good pulse of way than the work the devotion so so what's the word tangible so so he's as if we have a compulsion of something that would destroy our knowledge mankind would again then be forced to very acutely observed the estranja you know the Stars to determine the limits of the solar year in the course the ancient Greeks had to watch the rising of Arcturus the Pleiades and Orion to mark their seasons and to determine the proper in time the rising of the star Sirius along with the Sun announced to the Egyptians the period when they might expect the overflow so consequently time this would tell them the time when they were just so their brain canals and reservoirs harvest so we're gonna burn ology after that likewise the science of phrenology depends on celestial observations [Music] [Music] [Music] you know we can't choose our privilege our technological privilege that's been 1 or 4 years with our own you know skills and abilities it doesn't make us any better than them it's just you know if anything we must do we have to respect but he says for example if we couldn't ascertain and within an hour to wind and assembly Oracle course of human beings was to mean for an important purpose Oh such purposes would soon be frustrated and a human improvement prevented so our ideas of time and succession in duration arrived from time is the is what goes by it's how we measure how fast something moves how long it took to get from here to here is what we measure time with with the motion of physical you know physical objects in the world in the most fundamental motion is that of these stars the most eternal the most consistent the most constant the best standard of measurement up until you know that you taught my clock or whatever what's the motion of the eternal stars of course we did the measurement of water you know if the beautiful you know marking certain lines the length of time it took never water to get from here to here would have been a consistent you know standard force the famous the famous hourglass so there are measurements that we can use on earth but the most I guess accessible you know accessible in Universal would be goes to create these you have to know how to refine you know glass or at least make clay containers and you know measure is specific amounts of water that's in here but he says in order to its being divided into equal parts the motions on which we fix air as standards of time must be constant in uniform or at least at any slight deviation from the uniformity shall be capable of being ascertained but we have no uniform motion on earth by which by which the lapse of duration accurately there's a flight of birds or the motions of clouds or gentle breeze or the impetuous whirlwind the smooth flowing river the roaring cataract the falling rain or even the flux and reflux of the incoming tides as regular as they generally are just remember those are mostly influenced not in concert it's not an imperfect conjunction with the cycles of so it's therefore into the motion of the celestial orbs alone that we look for a standard of duration that is certainly an imminent variable and not liable to the changes that take place in all terrestrial movements those magnificent glows which all around us in the canopy of the sky weather their motions be considered as real or on the apparent they move in respect they move in with an order and regularity which is not found in any physical agents connected with our flow and wonder from this quarter any one variable measure of time we can subdivide it into the night nudist portions just observe all the purposes of civil life you have the improvements of science without the aid of astronomy he says therefore it should have been obliged like the like the root savage of the desert to compute computer time by the Falls of us now the succession of rainy seasons the melting of the ice the progress indication in other words celestial observations in consequence of having having ascertained a regular measure of time having enabled us to fix chronological dates and to determine the principal epochs of history many of those epics were coincident and this is pretty cool while they were coincident with she was saying once we established the regularity of the seasons and not just that astronomical occurrences like eclipses big you know major events like comments or even flares and the you know like supernovae which even to these guys I don't think even even they understood I know they did so nonetheless he's saying that were able to use our knowledge of astronomy and certain reoccurring events like eclipses at least and maybe governments to determine at what point relative to our understanding of history historical time certain events in deep history took place based on accounts so the Sun or moon and which are recorded in connection with such events where no dates are mentioned the use of the astronomer therefore knowing the invariable movements of the forms and calculating backward through of the past periods of time can't ascertain what remarkable eclipses must have been visible at any particular time and place which is pretty amazing because eclipses don't cover the older [Music] so they you if they had even in the eighteen hundreds the ability to retrace in you know reverse engineer just what we're on earth the eclipses would have been based on the positions of the moon and the sun's with respect to the earth pretty amazing actually so he says kal Theseus for example found his chronology on 144 eclipses of the Sun and 127 of the Moon which he had calculated for the purpose of determining and settling dates the Grand Junction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn which is certainly a very rare occurrence so that's that's amazing you know in the same point yeah even so again the concept of the eternal you know essentially unchanging the movement of the stars the stars with the exception of the Earth's every twenty four thousand years the stars for every you know every time span of about two to three thousand years the Stars remained essentially fixed and constant never you know unless the sky is cloudy they never fail so it says the conjunction about Jupiter and Saturn in a particular zodiac what just happened only eight times since the mosaic creation not sure what that means Moses furnishes chronology with testable proofs of the date of offense such phenomena happened to be recorded on such data surprising Newton actually determined particularly in which happened just as the two armies al Cadiz king of Lydia in syak series somebody more engaged and which calculated in the fourth year because they the Greeks apparently counted their history historical dates in terms and units of years every four years that you multiply that by before I guess then we have 160 170 two years after the original you know date so I guess they started counting in seven 775 775 BC in the urine so they 43rd Olympia in the fourth year of it would have been 603 BC and then dr. Ali of at least common Fame I think he was a yeah a celebrated astronomer the 17th century determine the very day and hour of the landing of the Julius Caesar in Britain from the circumstances stated in the Caesars so the rest of it I don't want to bore you guys with too much it's mostly him see the researches of astronomy that demonstrates the in the power of the creator um he's kind of speculating maybe we'll touch upon that next time but it's less less technical less scientific less rational more philosophical speculative which is cool but [Music] I kind of want to draw a line here happen I think I've been at this a total of about five hours today's quits right now this is uh it's been a fun ongoing adventure so I'm so really really glad you guys are enjoying this as well I can keep me updated keep me informed I'll try to be the proper attention to all your clients it just means so much to uh to see all the love and you know shared joy you guys get them looking through our books we will as long as there's material to mine so glad you stuck with me for this song if you did remember I have a patreon account if you guys enjoy the material and especially you know I really want to thank all of you guys who do it means other than that just yeah show me you show me what you thought comment you know if you want to like it like it if you don't just hit that that that dislike twice and them as always I hope you guys have a great evening and we'll see you in the next video take care guys that's our any morning in the background now it's time for a bike ride you
