  • Wonderfully lucid exposition, (and all without any written notes!) from Simon Shaffer.

    A truly great synthesis of the Cavendish' history. Bravo.

  • What a bunch of crap, I know an old lady figured out the structure of DNA in biology class, those two sods stole her work =/

  • i wonder if the tall grey guy was coming along to question the filming ("post nine eleven" style) and when he realised that Simon knew what he was talking about he decided to walk on.

  • Great video, thank you very much for posting.

  • I had the good fortune to go to school with this guy...he had charisma even back then...

  • Excellent! Virtuoso ad libbing crammed with historical detail and he doesn't condescend or dumb down as he would if this was say, a BBC Horizon series. Pity about the gormless bystanders though.

  • I love Simon Schaffer, he's an encyclopedia of science history. Horrific case of dientes Ingles though. lol.

  • Im gonna build another lab like this in West Virginia
