Earth Science: Crash Course History of Science #20
Рет қаралды 554,722
Күн бұрынIt's Earth Science time!!!! In this field, natural philosophers were asking questions like, what’s up with fossils? Are they the remains of extinct organisms? Or are they so-called “sports of nature”-rocks that just happen to look like living things but don’t /mean/ anything? And most importantly, how old is… everything?

The pronunciation of "principia" really depends on which contextual and regional tradition of pronouncing Latin you decide to go with. In Classical Latin, the was most certainly pronounced /k/, but by the time of Vulgar Latin the sound had become palatalised before front vowels. In Ecclesiastical Latin, for example, it's pronounced /t͡ʃ/ (as in the in English "chair"), which is also the pronunciation used in Italian and Romanian pronunciations of the letter in their respective traditions of New Latin, while English an French pronounce it as /s/, thus "prin/s/ipia" as opposed to "prin/k/ipia". Neither pronunciation is more correct than the other, as long as it's consistent, e.g. if you use prin/s/ipia, following English New Latin, then the in "philosophiæ" should be pronounced /eɪ/ (as in the of "day"), but if you use prin/k/ipia, following Classical Latin, then should be pronounced /aɪ/ (as in "eye").
@varana 5 жыл бұрын
That said, the real error in the pronunciation was the stress, and that does not depend on tradition. _Principia_ has stress always on the syllable "cip", never the "i" of "ia".
@marctelfer6159 5 жыл бұрын
It seems, though, that when Hank pronounces it with a /k/, as opposed to /s/, the stress also moves to the back to the second syllable (instead of the third).
@varana 5 жыл бұрын
Counted from the start? (1=prin, 2= cip, 3=i, 4=a.) That's the correct way and what I was trying to say. The pronunciation of the C is quite variable, as you pointed out; but the stress should be on the second i (prin-KIP-i-a or prin-CHIP-i-a or prin-SIP-i-a or whatever, but always stressed on the third-to-last syllable).
@marctelfer6159 5 жыл бұрын
Oh, yeah, counted from the start. Definitely agree with you there, that Classical Latin stress, as far as I can tell, is preserved in most traditions (similarly, if I remember correctly, stress appeared in the same place in Vulgar Latin, but due to the loss of certain coda consonants and the loss of vowel length it became effectively irregular, but still in the same actual position)

I'm really curious how geologist determined the age of the earth. Now, my questions are answered. Many speculation and theories regarding the age of earth have arisen during 17th century in Europe, people do believe that the age of the earth is parallel with the age of humans. It is really awesome how geologist determined the age of the earth depending on the fossils, volcanoes, and rocks. Their conclusions and studies has a big impact in the history of science because it help us to determined the age of the earth.

Principia: depends in how linguists hypothesize about the pronunciation of Latin. Some believe that the system of ‘hard consonant sounds before dark vowels’ and therefore soft ones before light vowels, as existing in Italian and French, was already present in Latin. Meaning: prinz/cipia is not totally ruled out. :)

@varana 5 жыл бұрын
Continental drift is a surprisingly recent theory. It only gained attention (mostly devastating criticism) in the 1920s, and was widely accepted only in the 1960s. So if they mention it (and I hope so), it'd come up in a later episode.

Watching this video makes me think you are the perfect person to ask this question. And let me just say, it may be a really dumb question that I just completely overlooked the answer to but I can’t seem to find one. So, star explodes creating all the elements that eventually come together as a planet. All of the radioactive isotopes are presumably made during this stellar explosion. So, planet forms from this space dust with all of the isotopes within the dust and makes the compositions of the planet. So, my question, why is there any difference between the amounts of isotopes anywhere on a planet? Shouldn’t the age of all rock be the same age as the space dust it was made from? Again, maybe it’s a supper dumb question but my understanding is that there is not really any new isotope formation so when we radiometrically date rocks there was kind of a fixed concentration at the starting point which is why the dating is reliable. I feel like I’m missing something, can you help?
