Man I miss top gear

Was not expecting James May! I've always been jealous that us Americans don't have our own James May, he's a national treasure!!!! ❤️❤️😂😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

clarksoniosarus.

Thanks for the amazing video! I'm writing a paper on Dendrochronology and this really helped me know what was going on in my reading!

I'm a big fan of all of James May's work. Having said that, can I point out that palm trees don't have rings not because they are in the tropics but because they are in fact not trees at all but are a form of grass and their "trunk" is made up of the bases of former leaves.

CLARKSON!!!!!

I just love how he mocks Jeremy outside of the show...

Fantastic stuff hahaha So happy I found this channel, keeping me busy on my day off and my daughter will love it. Thanks!!

Few people on youtube are interested in grammar. Some perhaps are annoyed that you question Mr May's grammar, because he is so well-spoken. But the answer to your question is that both forms are correct: "more dense" is used here for emphasis.

if it was a 6 yo kid who din't know a thing trying to do this and then had that message, I would agree. But this is obviously high quality so, I don't see anyone being bothered too much by them asking for something that is literally Free, maybe if they are too lazy/value their time more than what its worth. but that's not most people (Its a great channel with loads of content and regularly added content, frankly, its under-rated and deserves more subscribers. they should employ these tactics.

If Jeremy Clarkson is a dinosaur then that makes James May the sun.

British people have a much more evolved sense of humor, or at least James May does.

The video is very informative and answered my questions because I live very close to the equator and once worked at the lumberyard. Many large trees that had been cut here either have few rings or none at all which buffled me for years because it's not what I saw on books which contains pictures of trees with rings.

They missed a great opportunity to name the early wood the 'morning wood'.

I lost it at the end!!!

Exactly, thank you.

its great whwn someone can give the best jokes, whilst remainimg completely serious

I like Head Squeeze because of James May. I wish he was a professor at my college; i'd take his class, no matter what the subject was.

LOL @ the dig at Jeremy. XD

Trees are like pipes that grow larger. Removing water from a tree through the root circulation, is an electrostatic process as well. The electrical current assists the drying of the tree. The constant connection to the air amplifies the soggy electrical char process. The rings become more pronounced with height. Like a stone that is tossed into a pool; the magnetic force rings outwards. The char field ring is the external inner and is most intense. Remaining strongest at the outer edge of the tree pipe; the electrical field grows in harmony with nature. Soggy Charing can produce Sapp as well. Juicing is part of the anticoagulation electrolysis process within the tree. Barks help with iron dye drawn through the root torrents. At the roots, there is photosynthetic pumping drawing water upwards: Also small root branches spew water out as larger roots pull water the opposite way. Dominant suction has leak roots. While those smaller roots are leaking back into the soul; they are part of a larger pull. Extending upwards are connected effective thin currents of water also. Those small roots can cause a substantial differential in the trees inner stir. A tree is a powerful filtration center that works at keeping oils separated; using a complexed electrical process. Weather changes the shape of the water using momentum. The tree follows the shape of its' own water. cJT...aka.. Charlie John Thomas

I actually just learned this about two weeks ago in my study of plant diversity.I just wanted to hear james may say it.

dis man cracks the up

Thank you, sir! That's all I wanted to know ;-).

Adding Clarkson to this made it even better

Only thing I could think about when he mentioned Vegas was when he tried to auction off that Cadillac for a T-Rex bike XD

Loved the Clarkson rip

Force applied at a distance from the turning point has more leverage and therefore force.

Good video, however I would like to point out that Charles Babbage was the first to work out that the size of each ring depended on the climate.

Because I'm an EFL student who wants to master the English language and normally you don't use "more" with one-syllable adjectives, or do YOU? I have to say I'm quite shocked that most people give me thumbs down, is it really that common to say "more dense" or do people have no interest in English grammar at all?

James may kicks ass

They don't. But trees that do get cut down (or even knocked down due to weather) do get studied.

made my day

i always knew that Jezza was really really really...ancient...hahah Good one Mr May

Question suggestion: How do capacitive touchscreens work and why do they not work underwater (on phones that have been waterproofed).

interesting, i subscribe for more!

Yes, seriously! I was just curious because every English teacher would tell you it's wrong to use 'more' with this particular adjective and even my Oxford dictionary has only the form 'denser' in it. So I only wanted to know if there is any particular exception to this rule or if he said 'more dense' just to put more emphasis on it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Why do trees have rings? They think earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are cheap and tacky, so rings are all that's left to them. ;)

There is a way. After drilling a core sample the scientist can do their studies, reinsert the sample and the tree will naturally heal itself. A lot can be learned from this for the study of botany. Do some research on the-purpose-of-taking-tree-core-samples.

Realise how to 360p quality is greyed out and you can't select it?

Question: do battery's weigh more when they are fully charged than when they are empty?

headsqueeze should call jeremy and richard to the show that would be awesome!!!

Thanks for the answer, It was quite helpful. Now I know I'm not a nutter.

There’s an early wood late wood dark ring gag here somewhere but I’m struggling to make it all fit!

More Q&A about cars, pleaseee

Can someone explain why James said "more dense" instead of just "denser" in 0:58?

So today i have learned tree rings show lots of things, and Jeremy is a dinosaur. Fair enough

Hahahaha Clarkson is a dinosaur hahaha that was awesome :D

Cool

By my Monty Python logic: If Jeremy Clarkson's head is made of wood, he's a witch.

i thought it was a bot talking at first lol

As for why we 'hear' thoughts in our head, this is most likely due to how we sometimes process information by having a conversation in our head. Language is an audio stimulus. As you read this, your brain is receiving visual stimulus, but encoding it as audio, as that's how you're used to processing this language. A good example is to put a caption next to a picture of Morgan Freeman. As you read the caption, you imagine it being said in Freeman's voice - even though its all visual stimulus.

I'm teaching the changes too the newly discovered evidence of tree growth and much more of the evolution of tree's on earth.

See what you mean? I was replying to someone else. Not all animals have blood, and if you cut a tree in two, the "top" part won't live long (the bottom will probably end up dying too, if you cut it close to the ground). Also, some plants' sap circulation does sound remarkably like a heartbeat, when recorded and sped up.

Hahahahaha I love the ending :-P

you do realise that if you cut out a chunk then replace the higher up area and keep it on the now exposed trunk the tree will not only survive, but you will get a chunk to test and the tree survives...

We had that in 8th grade but wikipedia might help you (verisatium1 and minutephysics made some good things about it too)

If the thumbnails have Clarkson severed head, it be a good content

Trees tell us a lot of things even before they turn into paper.

examination of richard hammond's teeth would confirm that he got them done

❤👍

A Palm tree doesn't have rings because it's a monocot, that is to say, it's an oversized flower. It doesn't grow in the typical tree fashion

You totally should get Jeremy on with you for a episode :P

Talk about cars! tell us all about torque and double wishbone suspension.

It'll take years to count the number of rings in the world's largest tree.

What's the difference between Heartwood and Sapwood? Which is most often used in construction (tool handles, British Longbows... - could just as easily look at Wikipedia, but I thought I'd ask.

i can't take credit for the definition. that goes to merriam-webster. all references to hemolymph say that it is analogous to blood, and the definition of blood includes the comparable fluid of an invertebrate. analogous and comparable. it's blood.

The force of Gravity on earth will always attract objects, to accelerate at 9.81ms. Of course the Hammer and Feather have their own gravity, and theoretically the hammer has much more than the feather. But gravity is such a weak force, that the difference in weight between the feather and the hammer is insignificant next to Earth's mass. In an atmosphere the density of the hammer is greater, making it stronger against air resistance than the feather, so they fall at different speeds.

Lmao! Examination of his teeth will confirm he's a dinosaur! :P

Hint: they make up around 80% of the species of animals on Earth. Starts with an "i". Ends in "nsects". Also molluscs, arachnids and crustaceans.

Early wood made me laugh.

Haha love the joke about jeremy clarckson

sir where can i get tree ring images for different tree species

Love the Jeremy Clarkson joke :D

centrifugal force of the wheels makes them fight to "lay over"

No, hemolymph definitely isn't (and doesn't even resemble) blood, just as feathers aren't fur and chitin isn't skin. It's transparent, flows through body cavities (not through veins), and doesn't carry oxygen (the main function of blood). Anellids, for example, have both hemolymph and blood. And cnidaria (corals, jellyfish, etc.) don't even have hemolymph. Only a small percentage of animal species has blood. BTW, your "definition" of blood ("a fluid resembling blood") seems to be recursive.

Im a little hazy on my Grammar but I think its something to do with the 2 meanings the word dense has. If you were to refer to someone as being dense, ie stupid then the noun for that would be denser. But if your looking at the word in a quantitative sense then it like 'the density increases' then grammatically speaking its 'more dense' However I could be completely wrong and its the TV companies dumbing down.

I never said they had a heart. I said they had circulation, and that it could sound like a heartbeat. And no, if you cut a tree (covered in bark, as opposed to plant) near the bottom of its trunk, it generally won't grow again. And the top part of the tree (now horizontal, lying on the ground) won't "spring back to life". Just because a tree doesn't die instantly when you cut it (just as some animals don't) doesn't mean they're not alive or that they won't die.

look up the word "blood" and your errors will be understood. hemolymph is blood since the definition of blood is a fluid resembling blood of a vertebrate or a comparable fluid of an invertebrate.

these shows are great, but the mid-video fishing for subscribers could be a bit more subtle, makes the channel look a tad needy

Why do we get dry mouth/hot/sweat/bite nails, and other odd things when we're nervous?

So now I know how Clarkson has ended up with his extra head(s) :D

sorry, YT changed my name, same person. The top part could easily live on, and keep growing if it gets nutrients again... it could even be years, and still it could spring back to life, so, was it dead and brought back to life, or always alive? And same with the bottom part, leave it and it will grow up again. sap circulation have to do about the time of the day, they are more active in daytime, that still doesn't make it a heartbeat. it's not a heart, and it's not beating.

Why am i reminded of Jame's lectures from Top Gear?

so if you grow a tree your self, well you have to grow the correct kind of tree. But if you do this and you wait about ten years will you count ten rings? Just asking because i cant find anyone that has done this.

Give us more TOP GEAR!!!!!

Question for James May: Why is it easier to balance on a two-wheeled vehicle at higher speeds? For example, it's easier to balance on a bicycle going 10 mi/h, than on a bicycle going 1 mi/h.

Why would you cut down really trees that have lived such incredible lifetimes and though out history just to find out how the weather was during a certain period in history?

Aren't palm treas more like a grass rather than a tree?

James may about Jeremy Clarkson. What a diss! Haha

But then how will the Discworld's Counting Pines ever evolve?

"literally Free" for the time being.

Yo James May, can you explain the ringing you hear in your ears even when you're in a dead silent room?

Guest appearance by raptor-clarkson!

Someone has had a holiday on the beach...

This is useful for me hahaha. Im doing Forestry for University LOL

It's youtube, man. That's never gonna happen. The more subscribers you get, the more money you can make.

CLARKSOOOON !!

Wow this was 10 years ago

You do know that no modern definition of "life" revolves around having a heart, right? And (funnily enough) most plants do have a circulatory system, and something very similar to a heartbeat.

you can also check out james may on another channel... Uninsulated Crimp or seach james may's man lab you're welcome!
