The Ontario Science Centre is forced to have a nonsense display of the contributions of non-White scientists. They ended up including Chinese acupuncture and says qi is an "energy force" around the body (what? they put this down in a SCIENCE MUSEUM?) and that the Polynesians discovered stellar navigation by comparing star positions IN RELATION TO ISLANDS (not needed if you can see landmarks; James Harrison made a naval clock to find longitude out of sight of land, 1700).

Thanks for posting! I visited the OSC when I was 6, and the Toot Sweet machine was tucked away in a corner... it is my most vivid memory from the visit. I always sort of wondered if I had made it up, having been so young and having never returned to Toronto.

Boffo! Thanks for this video, I am a big fan of Emett's mobiles and cartoons. He should be MUCH better known! There was a big machine at Spitalfields, London. This was thrown away a few years ago, but luckily it was rescued and re-built
