This entire video is a series of mistakes. Most of the "facts" presented are completely wrong. - We did not fight WWII with aircraft carriers where planes taking off ran into planes stored on the deck. There were crashes on landing because of damaged planes or pilots, but not because of a lack of room. The newer design simply allowed carriers to both launch and recover aircraft nearly simultaneously. This increased the utility of the carrier, but was not the result of a mistake being corrected. This evolution was due in part to the faster take off speeds needed for jet aircraft, which led to the development of the steam catapult to launch aircraft. - The first airplane did not have square windows. Most airplanes had no windows at all for years after they were invented. The real story is that the British De Havilland Comet was the first jet powered commercial aircraft. It was made with square windows, but the added stress of the speed from the jet engines created stress fractures that led to several aircraft breaking up midair. The windows were changed to rounded corners (as were the doors and cargo compartment doors) to eliminate the issue (which the video did get correct). These airframe stresses were not well understood at the time the plane was designed. The rest of the story in the video is wrong. Info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Comet - The "State" had nothing to do with the Crazy Horse memorial. It was the idea of a Native American named Henry Standing Bear. It has no connection to a statement made by Crazy Horse about where his lands are, and that story is false (never happened). Standing Bear wanted it as a memorial to Crazy Horse because Crazy Horse was buried in secret in an unmarked grave, so this is seen as a grave marker of sorts. Being a Native American, Standing Bear would certainly be aware of any cultural problems with having Crazy Horse pointing at something. There is NO issue with pointing among Native Americans. The memorial has been in process since 1931, but major work was delayed for decades. It is managed by a private foundation from private donations. The only real controversy around the statue among Native Americans is that the destruction of a mountain to make a statue is considered by some to be a desecration of the land and the mountain itself. Info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Horse_Memorial - There are many more issues with this video. I may address them in a future post.

#8 Airliners had had these square windows for YEARS. It wasn't a problem until pressurized airplanes started using jet engines. Jets are much more efficient at higher altitudes so the first jets were pressurized much more severally than their piston powered predecessors. This higher pressure meant more stress and after several cycles cracks would cause the planes to break up. De Havilland, who built the first jet airliner (the Comet) lost several planes before they realized what was happening. It was these accidents that greatly matured the art of air accident investigation., which has, over the years, made flying so much safer. Boeing got lucky on this one. the 707 was still in its testing phase and Boeing modified the windows on the 707 as a result of discoveries made. As a result, the 707 benefited greatly from De Havilland's stumble.

If you give it to someone with the palm facing out i.e towards the person you are giving it to that is the victory sign but if you give it to someone with the palm facing inward i.e to wards you it is a swear sign the same as giving the middle finger. Now the apocrypha story goes that during the battle of Agincourt Frenchmen who captured English Archers would cut of their index and middle fingers to stop them from using their bows. So the Archers that had them would show off the V sign as a sign of defiance and mockery. Ha ha we have still got our Archery fingers stick it up you French.

To my understanding if the palm of your hand is facing away from you then it is meant to be the Victory or Peace. If the palm is facing you (back of the hand facing out) then it was meant to be an F you to the French by British archers showing they still had their fingers. At least that is how it was explained to me while I was a member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). May or may not be true but members of the SCA normally make every attempt to be as historically accurate as possible, so take it for what it's worth.

1. It was the first Jet Airliner that had square windows, not "the first plane". 2. The comment about the Disney Concert Hall "intentionally" burning things wasn't actually real: comments were only made in jest, save for a few conspiracy theorists. 3. The first aircraft carriers had very little issue launching and landing planes due to "crowding": Propeller driven aircraft required much shorter takeoff distances, and planes were launched in sequence, with the first plane simply having the shortest takeoff distance. Larger bomber aircraft (as was depicted in his graphic) were only launched from those carriers during the Doolittle raids, where B-25 Mitchell bombers were stripped down to their bare minimum airworthiness in order to take off from a carrier, since the bombers were ground-based and never needed to launch from the confined deck of a ship. 4. Wikipedia is, and has always been, a user-editable encyclopedia. It was created to allow people to create and edit their own encyclopedia. With the world being what it is, people took more than a few liberties, and safeguards were put in place to better police unwanted content (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#Openness). Also, it's not "Japanese Hieroglyph", as hieroglyphs are typically pictographs, where as Japanese uses the same or similar Chinese characters (called Kanji) for many of their words. The word in question on the Wiki globe is "Ancestor", though there is an errant mark, but it is still legible. I can't speak for the Hindi character, though.

A serpent eating its own tail has been depicted in different versions of the infinity symbol throughout the history.The term ouroboros is derived from two words in ancient Greek language. The first word is “oura” which means “tail” and the second is “boros” which means “eating”. Combined, these two words give the meaning “he /it that eats his/its own tail” or “tail eater”.Alchemists of the old ages were using the infinity symbol as a purifying glyph and they referred to it as “the name of the Great World Serpent surrounding the Earth”. It also represented the element of mercury (which is known as an element that can run through any kind of matter). Snakes being animals shedding off their old skin periodically in a cyclic manner to renew themselves/their physical existence is the perfect analogy for life being recreated out of death, in other words, for rebirth through death. Representing “the unity of all” was another reason why the alchemists of the times considered the ouroboros symbol important. In The Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra, one of the most important works written by alchemists during the earlier ages (the texts comprising the work in question were written in the 2nd century to be exact), ouroboros is depicted in black and white halves, just like the Yin-Yang symbol of eastern culture. In addition to that, the words meaning “hen to pan” were used beside the symbol of serpent eating its own tail. “Hen to pan” means “one is all”, “the one is the all”, e.g. unity of opposite sides of one’s being, the duality in one’s nature. Ouroboros the infinity symbol represents two different phenomena such as life and death which cannot exist without one another.

There are many reasons for the angled flight deck. A key one is it balanced the ship. To allow planes easy access, the superstructure is forced to one side of the ship, creating a large in-balance So, they would have to take up space below deck to balance out the superstructure. The new design eliminates that problem. Also, while the new design does allow for simultaneous launching and recovery, this is likely rarely performed unless in a critical situation. (I have no military experience, that just what makes sense to me)

Harold is correct. The angled deck was built to allow carriers to launch and land aircraft at the same time. Prior to this upgrade carriers could either launch or land aircraft but not simultaneously. This limitation was one of the reasons the United States won the Battle of Midway. The American fighter planes caught the Japanese carriers with their decks full of planes that had just landed and were getting re-fueled and re-armed. These planes had to wait in the air until the carriers had launched the planes kept in reserve. The American bombers showed just after the planes landed.

I'd also heard that the infinity symbol was also based on the Moebus Loop; a flat, but three dimensional figure that looks like it has two sides, but only has one.

Infinity symbol not from Moebius loop. The loop was discovered in the last 250 years, the symbol has been around since the Greeks. The 'side-ways eight' is meant to be traced. Start at any one point on the figure, follow the line and you get back to where you started. The symbol itself is infinite, if you know how to read it!
@Ze_eT7 жыл бұрын
The reason Infinity is like this is because it looks like a path without an end. its like an 8. If you would say to someone ''Drive out of this street'' Which is the Infinity symbol, or lets say, 8, he can never drive out of it without breaking the law. Hence, it would take an Infinite amount of time to get out

"The first airplane had square windows" ??????? WRONG !!!!! The first airplane had no windows. It was over a decade after that before airplanes had windows. And then another 40 years before the accident being referenced, with plenty of aircraft having round windows in the meantime. A dumb blanket statement that detracts from the valid point being made about structural stresses. Moving on: the oversimplified statement of the design history of aircraft carriers is laughable, and shows the host and/or editors have no knowledge whatsoever of naval construction history.

I always thought the Churchill fingers picture was iconic because not only was it a V for victory, but also the hand turned backside front was a British gesture comparable to giving the finger to someone, making it easy to use as a symbol of British defiance to German aggression in WW2. The way the Germans attacked Britain so indiscriminately from the air, and even landed troops near the Isle of Wight, Churchill may have wanted peace, but not until after victory was achieved, he didn't want to end up like France, overrun, surrendered, and occupied by enemy troops, with just pockets of resistance to defend country.

I'm a former carrier aviator. The straight-deck carrier was not a mistake. It worked well for prop aircraft that could take off and be recovered in comparatively short distances. Straight-deck carriers helped us win WWII, so how big a "mistake" was that? The angled deck was an evolution that allowed the use of high performance jet aircraft. In addition, square airplane windows were not a mistake per se. They worked fine on non-pressurized aircraft. The only mistake was continuing them on pressurized aircraft. It has no relation to what causes cracks around windows in buildings. When pressurization came in, not only did windows need to be rounded, they had to be curved, and the whole fuselage hand to be tubular. There are still modern aircraft with fuselages and windows that are almost square, like the Short SC-7 Skyvan. But they are not pressurized.

It's not that they're upside down (well, maybe with the hindu character, I don't know that one). Wikipedia used the radical for clothes instead of the one for altar (which I guess is what the video refers to as "wrong spelling") in 祖, which means it's not actually 祖. It's actually a rather impressive mistake, as that means they went through the trouble of building the character instead of just typing it. But the video is still wrong: kanji aren't hieroglyphs. They're logograms.

Crazy Horse... the carving was started by ONE MAN who did it without any government funding for many years. Aircraft Carrier change from straight deck to angled was for improved operations with jet aircraft. The straight decks were fine for the slower prop driven aircraft. it wasn't until the performance and vision issues of the Corsair (F-4-U from WWII) were found to be reduced by making a long arcing approach that the idea of the angle deck came up. Our LSH carriers are still straight deck because there is no real advantage to the angle deck for a heli and the wide deck of the modern super-carrier makes it unstable. A super-carrier can only tolerate a small list angle before it capsizes. Wiki has ALWAYS been editable by anyone... On purpose. White house has construction and design errors. You have to go outside to get from the east wing to the west wing. No restrooms on the floor where they hold a lot of large gatherings.

The Crazy Horse monument is privately owned, not a project of the state. And Churchill's "V for Victory" certainly was not a symbol of peace, it showed determination to continue the war (WW II) until complete victory was achieved. A similar sign was used for "peace" in the late 1960s, but it must have had a different origin.
