Was anyone else dissapointed at not finding out what replaced ivory billiard balls?

@guillaumeartois4288

3 жыл бұрын

original material, back in the 15th century when billard was invented, was wood. It was replaced by ivory in the 17th century. After trying celluloid at the end of the 19th century, billard balls were made of bakelite at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, they are made of either polyester or phenolic resin (which in fact is similar to bakelite, just made under more pressure). The later is a higher quality material than the first.

30,000 tons of intellectual property was removed from Germany during WWII. For about 15$ you could buy a patent and start an industry. That’s why you will never hear the inventor’s name in your history books. I suspect it was Kurt Ueberreiter (probably an alias) and a few other scientists. The world may never know. My grandfather was a scientist in Berlin. He was a good man. He told my mother he never killed anyone. He told them he invented the first flexible plastics. He disappeared after the war. His kids were told he died in a Russian prison camp. In an interview Kurt U explains that it was a dangerous time to have children. I still wonder if he was the same man as my grandfather. The family stories of war are sad. Both sides have not gotten away with anything. Destroy the world for money and all future generations suffer. It’s not just plastic this was also the story of our pharmaceutical and medical industry. It’s why it’s a broken system.$$$$$

Hi, great video! However, I would like to point out that plastic packaging were not always design to be for single-use, take for example the plastic bag (conventional plastic grocery bag) was originally created to replace the paper bags in an attempt to decrease the environmental impact. These thin plastic bags consume less energy and resources, are resistant and durable and therefore, according to the patent in 1965, were never meant to be manufactured for single-use. Reference: Thulin, S. G.: Bag with handle of weldable plastic material. United States Patent Office (1965).

Technically yes plastics are made for single use. However with a little imagination, you can find ways to reuse your plastic items. It won’t stop the plastic problem but it can slow it down and buy us some more time to solve it. I’m an avid gardener. I save my yogurt cups and egg cartons for gardening. I heard I can turn my plastic grocery bags into “yarn” for crocheting. Haven’t done it yet but have the bags saved up for it. My husband said his family used to save the margarine tubs and yogurt cups to use as bowls and cups.

Combine that with all the people who eat meat and drink milk, yogurt etc. But actually? Dont stop it, but become aware of how animals live in these conditions. Try to eat less meat in general, try to use milk alternatives like soy milk. Reduce the demand for animal products, so the industry needs to adapt.

@Floris I know of this too but this wasn't in my mind at the point of writing. Your point is valid yes. I am just against that type of vegan who wants all people who eat meat dead. Yes, its good to be vegan, but most people want to eat meat. So it's not good to condemn them (that never helps to solve a problem) but to show them a way how they can help without stopping eating meat. Many who are becoming more aware of that will stop eating meat anyway or at least reduce the amount significantly. (You can still condemn the people who order like 1kg of meat and then don't eat the other half, but this isn't exclusive to meat, we should always treat food with respect and dignity, other people don't have the luck to do that).
