I'm almost disappointed this wasn't a 35 minute deep dive on Glue

Love James May and am hoping there are plenty more where this came from.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and I are going to glue James's car doors shut...

I sometimes forget that this channel used to be Head Squeeze!

I love videos like this, and of course having James May present it makes it that more entertaining. Plus, I appreciate that the final sentence is a dig on Hammond.

Thank you BBC Earth Science and Mr. May! This is interesting and well done. I'm very glad this is available, thank you again.

Good stuff! I especially loved the last second loving jab at Hammond. Great work!

This was great, really helped my insomnia

I just watched a video that left me feeling really icky. Back to the home page. Scroll. Oooh James May! My version of kittens and puppies when I need to feel better! Perfect timing. Thank you 😊

He still didn't explain why super glue sticks to me but not the object that I am trying to glue together.

This show is awesome

beautiful

Vand der vaals force is described incorrectly, it's created from instantaneous dipoles, not from the interaction of polar forces. Even non Pilar molecules experience this.

amazing!

More of this please! ❤

But how can you glue audio and video together? Apparently it's a mystery to the BBC

Watching the RADAR segment made me think of something: Sending and receiving EM waves is a big part of the tech, but what about the timing mechanism? Light travels very fast! The elapsed time is incredibly small. Did they have to also develop timer/clock of new ability/precision?

Love you May! 🤘

How does.....James May keep appearing on our screens? Ah, it's the BBC.

Very interesting

James mays solo programs are still the best

Good days ❤❤

Thanks for not including the incorrect episode in which james may ( by extension the research team) claims that glass is transparent because it is a slow moving liquid. (the real answer is the complex interaction between light and the particles that make up the glass. This interaction is also why when we add different particles to glass, we can make filters which can allow us to select which light particles we want to make it trough the glass)

@11:50: In addition to Doppler radar, there is one more major development: radar arrays. Numerous small transmitters are structured as a flat grid. Radio waves are emitted such that destructive and chicken interference between the waves results in a directed wave. The direction can be altered without moving the physical array. Arrays can also be used with ultrasonic audio waves. The can produce waves emanating from a distant point. The descriptions of this, like "hearing a sound coming from within your own head" make me think of Havanna Syndrome. I imagine these arrays will be transformational for various kinds of wave emitters - light, radio, audio, x-ray, etc. Military radar is already switching over. The next-gen AIWACS will have a flat "fin" instead of the current, spinning disk. And there are interesting kit radar arrays that can be experimented with now.

James you forgot to mention rice starch, the Great Wall mortar of choice. Love the show

✔️

What year was this filmed?

Good news!!!!!

Oh. I thought the whole thing was going to be about glue. That would have been more interesting.

Clarkson be like, James only you could make science boring.😂😂

I wasn't that interested in glue, but I was in Radar. Thanks, James.👍👍

Despite Hammond and Clarkson's constant jokes about May being boring, I've watched every docuseries he's made, and listened to him narrate his audiobooks. There are certain voices that go with certain topics. For example in the UK, David Attenborough is the voice of natural history. And I'd say James May is the voice of science, tech, and man stuff.

liquid poetry

Should this be added to the James May's Q&A playlist?

I liked these more than Amazon's James May eating cheese in Japan.

3:19 ok the wording is just purely James May now I'm trying to imagine Jeremy Clarkson being forced to watch this

this man needs a Knighthood

wow a young james may lol

"Find out by clicking the link... Here " Lol i forgot KZfaq used to allow clickable links on their videos

I am 50 years old and I have an allergy to chemicals, so I don't use deodorant. Once every couple of years someone might say I smell if I haven't had my normal routines... But even if I get really smelly I normally only have to air out for about half an hour and I won't smell anymore

Hoof Grip Pro. That is some magic sh*t.

Adrian Newy. 🎉❤😂

Hey Bim ... Guess what ? You're very smart .😀

if you want a really good laugh, turn on the auto-generated captions.. LMAO

James May saying the word GLUE is an aphrodisiac.

James May is basically BBC's Internet personality!

Clarkson and Hammond are snoring to this

Just as you said it...glue, combination of both quantum mechanics (vanderwaals force) AND chemistry (locking bonds) and whatever other physical processes (pressure, tension, compression etc.).

How old is this and why is the sound not in synch?

R.G.B., Red. Green. Blue. Not Yellow! On a TV, yellow is produced by combining red and green.

I'm reading a book on this subject. I can't put it down!

But why does superglue go on all your fingers instead of the thing your trying to glue and the only way to get it off , is pulling the top layers of skin off

James May is the perfect presenter for discussing inventions as he was there at the time they were invented. Like the wheel. Or fire.

James May stole my bicycle .

Subject 1. James, the 3 colours in a crt are rgb, red green and BLUE NOT Yellow as you said.

How does.... James May talking about anything produce interesting results However, the audio is not even a little bit in sync with the video

The LCD displays use red, GREEN and blue. Not red, YELLOW and blue. Surprised he didn't know that. Its because our eyes have Red, green and blue receptors. Our eyes perceive yellow as a combination of those colours.

I can't address the deodorant information, but I will offer this about adhesives. I once worked with the Adhesives and Sealants group of the Dow Chemical Company. There, I learned more about the stuff than any man should know. They stuck things to cars, boats, subway trains, airplanes, well just about anything that remained static long enough to get their sticky fingers on. The last I checked, they were working on adhesives for the tops of cereal bags, and if you've tried to open one lately, you know they're doing well. Do you know how difficult it is to type when your fingers are stuck together with CA?

James and I may be the only ones who remember Hai Karate anymore. 😁

Red, Blue & Yellow ??? I think you'll find TVs use(d) Red, Green & Blue not yellow ! - Cyan, Magenta & Yellow are secondary colours, whereas RGB are primary colours. Really James, you surprise me not knowing that.

Wait I thought he quit

It's Vice Versa James.

18:18 There was...

Red, blue and yellow?

That was groovy in a far out happening kind of way.

I thought even if it's simple glue - no mixing - it was still a chemical reaction as it sets?

Pls answer this question: why can't you comment straight away on YT the way one used to? You have to wait 60 seconds, like one does when it's live!

There was once an experiment in which someone didn't wash for a year. At the end of the experiment, guess what? He *didn't* smell.

10 years ago my camera had 13 mega pixels. 1mp was about the turn of the century.

you'd think someone could have taught him how to say the words he was reading out before he started

I buy his gin. I’m buzzed off his gin now. Should you drink his gin? Yes. Get the navy strength !

Those Dirty Fokkers 😂

Any relation to Theresa?

Captain slow teaching science?? W h a t

On the subject on timekeeping, the most accurate pendulum clocks ever made, the Shortt Synchronomes, are accurate to one second in five years. A quartz watch is accurate to within 10 minutes a year. To be fair the Synchronomes use two separate pendulums

Cheese!

Airplane glue is what travels today.

as usual for james...not even a car in sight and slower as a snail...

Also it smells nice :-)

Some people are actually attracted to the natural body order.

What happens when AI May gets self aware?

why is he not in a sportscar

#adhesive

Oh hey yeah. I use Radar, every day. Every waking moment. It's called hearing. It's like radar. You can tell where everything is. Just by listening. Just ask Stevie Wonder. I did. In an interview. But that's neither here nor there. I use the same radar.. Because as an, Audio Engineer. I know sound is bouncing around at, 1100 ft./s. Approximately. And that's all I need to know. Where I can put my microphones. And what I want them to pick up and how. And so I also realized. Quite by happenstance. I think I can see sound moving around the room. Look over there! Oh you missed it.. It goes around really fast. It's like going down a concentric circle. And disappearing up its own ass hole. It would be a crazy thing to see. And I can see the sound rushing around. I can even see the sound coming out. From in front of my speakers. As you can't hear it coming, directly from your speakers. As it shoves the sound out. In front of your speaker. And I can usually see the focal point where it, emanates from. It's strange. I know. But I've been doing it for 50 years. Though? You might think I have Synesthesia? I don't. I don't see any colors. I only see the sound. I can see it coming toward me. Rushing away from me. Bouncing back and forth sideways.. As an, Audio Engineer. I only Mix for, 2 Channel Stereo. I don't mess with, Surround Sound.. But I discovered. In my Mixing Technique. I was always mixing for Surround. Without knowing it. As my 2 Channel mixes. I heard pass through a Dolby Professional Sound Surround Processor. And I was amazed to hear. What I wanted to hear. Coming out of the rear speakers. Yup. Exactly as I intended the listener to hear it in stereo. Now in, Dolby 5.1 Surround. I was completely amazed. As they also didn't tell me. It was my mix. I thought they had contracted somebody else to mix the multitrack master I had recorded for them. And they did. Released on CD. But I'm watching the DVD. And it's definitely a different mix. I told the producer. An assumed the other guy had mixed it differently for the video? He said nope it's your mix. My mix? I only give you a stereo mix. He said yes but we put it to the Dolby Surround Processor. It came out perfectly. Who knew? I just achieve the same thing in stereo. You can also. So it was around 30 years ago. I realized I was much better than I had given myself credit for. As that recording was nominated for both a Grammy a Soul Train Nominations. And it was only a rough mix I supplied to the producer. In stereo. Just a rough one. I never expected that. He said my mix worked better for television than the guy who mixed the CD. He did a great job. I love what he did. Those are my tracks? Those are my tracks. I recorded. That's all I was hired to do. Record the multitrack. And provide a rough mix for the video editors to work from. It stayed with the video. It wasn't supposed to. They were supposed to stripe on, the CD mix. He said it didn't work as well. They opted to keep mine. You just never know when things like that are going to happen. I was having conversations with my partner. Eating pizza and drinking beer. During that whole live recording. Little did I realize? My mixes are the ones that got nominated. I thought that was very funny. Voted best engineered? It definitely was not my best engineering. Hmmm? I guess I'm not a hack? I reckoned? Since then I've gotten a couple more. Not bad for a high school dropout with a GED. I'd say. I did say. RemyRAD PS Like what?

A small, smattering.

Why do a lot of peoples armpits smell like chicken noodle soup if they don't use deoderant (or forget to put it on after they shower)?

"adhesives probably work through several or even all of the things I've just described" after describing two bonding principles is a poor writing.

Why do I get the strong feeling that the corynebacterium animations are Scottish? Gotta jab at someone any chance they get huh?

Put some glue into a plastic bag and take a deep breath. You will know how it works

James is looking healthy

why does the background look like art attack/ euro trash 😂😂😂

Have humans been proven to excrete pheromones?

This needs CHAPTERS.... Deodorant something I really don't need to watch for what seemed like 30 minutes.

Bro thinks he’s James may!

Stupid aeroplane graphics with the wobbly engines and the plane flying backwards!

What about Super Glue, Or Gorilla Glue?

Has james may have ADHD

poor lip syncing, very irritating 😠

It like a health and safety video 🫣
