146 Years of Popular Science

We took 146 years of Popular Science art and illustrations to show you what the universe looks like. SUBSCRIBE! for more Popular Science on YouTube ►► http://pops.ci/yt-sub The cool thing about working for Popular Science is getting to say you work for a magazine that’s 146 years old. Think on that for a second. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX YEARS OF POPULAR SCIENCE. Einstein wasn’t even born when the first issue mailed out. (For the record, baby Al came on the scene in 1879—seven years after PopSci number one.) Well, we here at PopSci thought about all this and more. What we wound up exploring is what the universe looks like after 146 years of Popular Science. Because in the last century and a half of unprecedented discovery and advancement, PopSci has done more than just tell you about it in a magazine. We’ve taken up real estate in your brain and painted a picture of what the world—through those discoveries and advancements—truly looks like. So, we took 146 years of Popular Science art and illustrations to show you what we mean (also, Neil deGrasse Tyson may or may not eat Pluto in this video)… -Video by- Animation: Jason Drakeford Producer: Tom McNamara Producer: Eleanor Cummins Researcher: Lexi Krupp Researcher: Anna Brooks Thank you: Jane Goodall Institute, NASA As always, for more Popular Science go to www.popsci.com! #science #history #PopularScience #ElectromagneticWaves #HeinrichHertz #xray #WilhelmConradRontgen #Polonium #radium #MarieCurie #PierreCurie #firstflight #wrightbrothers #whitedwarf #atomicnucleus #gasmask #discovery #invent #flyingcar #Penicillin #antibiotic #pluto #clydetombaugh #volcano #nuclear #firstnuclear #laika #dog #spacedog #deepestpartofocean #ocean #janegoodall #primates #primatestools #platetectonics #apollo11 #space #firstman #firsthumans #moon #moonlanding #cleanairact #verarubin #darkmatter #universe #firstwhalefall #whalefall #apple #macintosh #firstapple #firstmac #mac #firstmacintosh #stevejobs #fossilembryo #dinosaur #dolly #clone #dollysheep #international spacestation #ISS #humangenome #pluto #dwarfplanet #NeildeGrasseTyson #lelandmelvin #ligo #gravitationalwaves #trappist1 #popsciart #art #animation #illustrations -Timeline- This is what the universe looks like after 146 years of Popular Science 1872 - Issue one of Popular Science 1886 - Electromagnetic waves confirmed by Heinrich Hertz 1895 - X-rays discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen 1898 - Polonium and radium discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie 1903 - First flight by the Wright Brothers 1910 - White dwarf first confirmed 1911 - Atomic nucleus discovered 1915 - Gas masks invented 1917 - Flying car first concept 1928 - Penicillin, the world’s first antibiotic, discovered 1930 - Pluto observed by Clyde Tombaugh 1931 - Scientists make a volcano erupt (for fun) 1945 - First nuke detonated 1957 - Laika, the first dog in space 1960 - Deepest part of the ocean explored (35,797 feet) 1960 - Jane Goodall shows how primates use tools 1963 - Plate tectonics confirmed 1969 - First humans on the moon (Apollo 11) 1970 - Clean Air Act passed 1970s - 1980s - Vera Rubin shows how dark matter interacts with the universe 1977 - First whale fall discovered 1984 - First Macintosh computer 1993 - Discovery of first fossil embryo of meat-eating dinosaur 1996 - Dolly the sheep is cloned 1998 - First part of international space station launched 2003 - Human Genome sequenced 2006 - Pluto downgraded to a “dwarf planet” 2009 - Astronaut Leland Melvin sneaks his dog into his official NASA portrait 2015 - LIGO detects gravitational waves 2017 - Trappist-1 Solar System discovered (including, maybe three future Earths?) https://ift.tt/2Ew8cpi Popular Science October 18, 2018 at 10:16AM
