It does open the door to a very wide range of modern applications.

I hope they are digitising everything as a backup.......

@@blaximperia really, like what? What application does the odor of Copenhagen in a bottle have??

@@bethhollins3556 Bringing out memories, as mentioned by the OP. Fighting dementia, and rehabilitation in neurodegenerative diseases. Sensory integration treatment, exposure therapy and as a relaxation technique for those with acute stress (eg. trauma therapy) or serious emotional dysfunction. Coma patients treatment, maybe even waking them up - we still don't really understand coma, and specific neuro-sensory stimulation may well be the key to breaking it. Research. Research in neuro-sensory stimulation, how precise it can be and what effect specific smells can have on human brain and body. Before you say none, or something about aromatherapy being only psychological (which doesn't invalidate it), just remember smelling salts. Education, both in museums and schools; showing children what Middle Ages smelled like, for example. Particularly as a component of a larger installation depicting those times. Education for tolerance and creating an immediate connection with people far away from you; showing ten year olds in London what a Delhi ten year old's life smells and looks like, while also letting them speak with one via a skype-like program, for example. Expanded sensory education for those with one or more senses impared: what does "green" smell like? In similar vein, emotional education for those on the autism spectrum: what does "joy" smell like? It may sound abstract to you, but sense of smell has been proven to have a very strong ability to both bring specific memories and evoke emotions. It has an illustrative and explantatory power beyond direct connections, too. As a part of an art installation, theatre or dance performance. As a component in movies, gaming, and VR. A fancy twist at a fancy fashion show, or some other vip gathering. But also as a sudden awareness hit for political, humanitarian or enviormental activism, particularly imparted on political spaces (such as parliment during a sitting) and in general public, preferably crowded, space. Do you know what it smells like when they bomb your city? I bet US voters wouldn't be so keen to go to war if they did. Or what it smells like when a drone hits during a wedding, as they do. Or what Earth will smell like 30 years from now, those 2 degrees hotter. Or what it smells like right now in a refugee camp in Greece, or in Syria. It's much harder to ignore otheer people's suffering once you get to actually feel it. And smell has an immersive power unparalelled with any other human sense. Is this wide enough for you? Edited to get rid of the double space, it's annoying.

the purpose I see it having is on 4d movie making. They can release scent molecules into the theatre in specific scenes. It would be really cool

That is smart

I have a collection of KZfaq libraries to go too

so true!

then any storage of information could be considered as a library. Each and every person on earth could be considered a library of memories:)

Unfortunately it’s shutting down 😔☹️

I think she smoked meth and put to much thought into the nose

She is the descendant of Jean Baptiste Grenouille

I think she will be making lotsa purposes with the newest #GoogleNose

Sage Mirei But why? I find it the complete opposite. I hate reading books and the smell, too. Plus, it's way too quite!

YES!

Yeah and with these libaries THERE ARE SOMANY THAT MY MIND NOT COMPREHEND!!!!!!!!!

@@aus-li everyone has a different taste For me The quite of libraries is soothing and the smell of books is really addictive.....Being in a library makes me want to be productive 😊

Adventure Awaits Hmm, maybe. But what's "productive" about being in a library? Isn't it hard to communicate?

Tell us about it.

YES! Oh my gosh yesssss! We can thank Baghdad for a LOT of scientific and medical advances. Enlightenment who? Doesn’t compare to the golden age of Islam. Not even close

@@constancemiller3753 it was said to be build as round city and in the middle there is a huge " university " and library although there are no confirmation of the exact shape. It also has been said to been the place of pf study and teaching of science and philosophy during Islamic Golden Age. Until it was sadly burned down by the Mongol

@@PandaGraciosa all the sage and scientist who made discoveries and innovations were persians, not arabs, who weren’t muslims at all

@@kitaboleh9378 was? is it gone or something? im genuinely asking

He might be gone for more than a minute

hahaha!

Big brain moves

That might actually work lol!

Lol

Wow that's a great idea 🤩

Not the pie from the help hahah

@@veganramen6423 Hahaha omg no, not the "special" pie 😂😂

SAME here! 🙏 ....Those 2 being the thumbnail was the *ONLY* reason I wanted to watch the video in the first place.

Pwettyyyyyy

I'm Irish and I am so happy u said that

Me too. After watching this, I was really tempted to buy a ticket to China just to see the library this video mentioned.

wanda kay relatable xD

wanda kay I didn’t know but now I do

Me also great moment for me

Same I'm such a nerdy peasant, I was like someone say LIBRARY???!!

ikr

matt wang Oops! I accidentally clicked on read more 😂

Read More It s a simple spell but unbreakable

@@KazukiZX00 quite.

@@themartianway yes i messed it up :(

The button doesn't work 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wondered if it was too dark to read in though.

Beth Hollins avid readers can read in really dim light (i can vouch), but it may get a bit uncomfortable. the lighting in that library is on point tho

Yeah if you can read chinese characatures

Did you see that reading nook? Totally uncomfortable.

you are literally in every comment section

Canuck Crusader Absolutely adore your train of thoughts

I'm Irish and I am ashamed to say that I didn't go to trinity college library

@@lauramulhare647 You should, its beautiful. The book of Kells is also really interesting.

@@hemera8156 trinity college is the most prestigious school in the country.

I know what you mean, it sort of ruins the purpose. There was an exception when I went to the Art Institute in Chicago, the library in there wasn't too crowded when I saw it (probably because it isn't well-known) I've been going to that museum for years and only recently saw the library. The funny thing is that it isn't intentionally well-hidden or inaccessible, it's just really easy to overlook.

Darth Guilder My grandma used to live in Brooklyn she would always take the train to that library and it was never crowded same with the New York Cathedral ( forgot the name) people use to just go like normal people living there daily lives. Now everything's overpopulated gosh lol

MJ Blue That's why the Lord above invented the strategic fart. Beans away...!!!

Payhole Everdouche Oh gosh lol

Thas awful!

Especially for me with the sculls. :)

They receive funding from CNN i think

@@shoushikochou seriously?

I think you should call 917-275-6975 so Bernard or Rosa can answer those questions for you lol

Idk but it seems legitimate they did a project with Ted-ed I think they have a foundation

It is owned by CNN

too soon

Nicosarea I always thought that as the greatest tragedy in ancient history, hundreds of years of records and stories, gone in hardly any time at all. The potential it had was truly remarkable.

If it was still intact, it would have smelled, looked, and been amazing

I still feel bitter about this

Bie B. Same.

Yasss! I see it! 🤯

Zwayz who’s 50 cent?

Like a president or something?

@@lisumaperaly4252 I think he's a rapper or something

How is it awkward?I found it interesting and unexpected

That one debut album sold over 11 million records

guardiangelrae My assumption: they probably stuffed them.

the real answer is at the orginal video in the comments

Just imagine the smell of the bookstore. Like with so many books in a small area. Imagine how good it smells

Yong Ooi lol i love the smell of books too

Jebbie You can’t check out most of the stuff mentioned at the Library of Congress. It’s in a collection that you need special permission and credentials to even look at, and they can’t be removed unless for a very special purpose

I suggest you go to THE LAST BOOKSTORE in LA. I literally just uploaded a video on my channel

Katherine Manrriquez What happened to your “librarian” dream? I recently went through library school and I have been applying for jobs. Unfortunately, I haven’t had an acceptance yet.

As @maybemae highlighted, "the gloves have been proven to be bad for the paper and the skin's natural oils keep the pages from drying out."

Prince Vegeta That's where trans-gendered soldiers are sequestered for further sexperimentation.

I heard somewhere that it's so you can grip the pages properly and not damage them

That and because the oils in your skin prevents the pages from drying out and cracking

As long as your hands are clean, you can touch older books if you know how to handle them. Ive been to archives before

its been proven that touching them with gloves on is actually worse. as long as you have clean hands it should be perfectly fine.

If you take poop and smear it on your hands I hear that keeps the pages fresh Not true at all....

Doctor who

Ota Cat pretty much

@Canuck Crusader calm down,it's just a joke

I asked where bobble heads came from, and got a pretty solid answer in a few minutes. It was kind of amazing lol

Briana Walker where do they come from?

Now when you call them, they put you on hold while they ask.. "Hey Siri"... (kidding.. 😁)

Biplove Baral No, No, No, No, Nope. There ain't nothing there...!!!

the first copy of the bible in the original language?

I'm pretty sure you can't go there unless you're invited & have special permission.

Sshhhhhhhh illuminati secrets will be revealed shhhh 😂😂😂

Unaccessible

macey no because they mix up videos of related subjects and make a video out of them.

But, it is after a technological revolution my friend, where we have every information on our finger tips

Magical Poop hello human when what does your poop look like in the toilet?

Edou Mamoru it’s green from al these green Gatorade’s I drank yesterday. I smell a hint of lemon grass along with a pungent dip of olivander. About 19 cm long.
