Francis Bacon, 2

The main text I am sampling from is Katherine Drinker Bowen's book, "Francis Bacon."

Please support my private academy (and youtube rants) by donating to my school. Each $15 results in a video up to 10 min. long being uploaded.

The first 4 min of this video are repeated at the end of the video. Some glitch shows up once in a while and I have to post a vid like this in two shorter segments. In this case, damage is minimal - no material was left out so I'm going to leave it as is, sadly.

I wish I knew why the glitch keeps showing up. Gladly it is rare.

Carl Sagan absolutely WAS a scientist. He was an astronomy professor, did research on Venus, and worked with NASA for decades.

[MrCropper]

Very true. I recall he was heavily involved with the Voyager project. I don't know if he produced any breakthroughs, but that isn't necessary for being a scientist... I reluctantly withdraw my statement that he was more of a popularizer of science - he was a scientist who was heavily involved in popularizing it.

The first four minutes and twenty or so seconds of this video were the last four minutes and twenty or so seconds of the last.

I was lost until Galileo's house arrest came back on at 4:23 or so, which was where the end of Francis Bacon 1 cut off.

[MrCropper]

Oh dear, what a mess... : (

I've ordered the book and plan to follow this series closely. Hopefully it'll be a long one!
