A Visual History of Light
Ғылым және технология
400,000 years ago, humans and Neanderthals created fire. This ignited a relationship between people and photons that changed the course of mankind-and continues to evolve to this day. Take a tour through the visual history of light. For a detailed timeline of light inventions throughout humanity, go here: www.theatlantic.com/video/ind...

I think this video referred to artificial light unlike the sun which would be considered as natural light

Ehh, they kind of skipped over a good amount during that gap, but I guess its understandable if they are tracing the change in material and process used to make light. During that large time period it was mostly about refining the previous methods. Better candle materials and components, different ways of supplying oil in an oil lamp, different wicks. Although, I would say a very important development that was kind of skipped was advancements in glass, reflective methods, and manipulation of the light produced. These developments massively increased the brightness of fire and other light sources by many magnitudes. And are in some way more important than the actual method of lighting.

@@midshipman8654 That is true, also different types of lamps utilized light better. Such as Argand oil lamps. Spermaceti and whale oil used for lighting purposes from the 17th century onwards is also something they could have covered. Although expensive spermaceti smelled much better, burned for longer and brighter than tallow and fat.
Vessel Light 1900s
@1:15 wtf is a moon tower lol

Its a tall tower with large arc lights facing down, the tower lights up streets surrounding the tower. They produced a dim light and consumed lots of electricity, so they mostly went out of fashion after the 1880s. They are however still found in Dallas, TX, the moonlight towers there use more safe mercury vapour lights.
wait, we have fusion? holy shamoly
