I agree 💯! Much better than reading. I literally graduated college with honors by watching documentaries. I retain the information much better by watching a film and it keeps my interest better.

Educational films of this earlier era were easier to follow than today's documentaries. The older films were less hectic and childish. They conveyed information to us intelligently, and with a tone of maturity.

I’m a child of the 50’s. I’m amazed at the simplicity of Newtonian concepts explained like some great scientific understanding. There’s no mention of Einstein space time. It’s so “experimentally precisely based” to explain these concepts of engineering. I really like that. Many shows I’ve seen kind of skip this step and go right to quantum physics and GTG.

Time is only relative to our planet. Once you leave our planet, there is no sunrise. Unless you are on another planet, and then you will need a different clock.

Time, as we understand and measure it, is a concept created by humans to make sense of the progression of events. However, the passage of time seems to be an inherent aspect of the universe, evident in natural phenomena such as the motion of planets and the decay of elements. Therefore, while our perception and measurement of time are human constructs, time itself appears to exist independently of our minds.

Then came a solar eclipse and the animals were confused on what time it was to do stuff? 🤔 I like these videos. 🥰 Thank you. In 1583 Galileo made his first important discovery, describing the rules that govern the motion of pendulums. However, in 1964 England Swings like a pendulum do.

Love thee films for the sound track they didn't download a $0.50 mp3 but hired a real 40 piece orchestra, and shot miles of film that then went to the cutting table and were restrung on projectors and telescopes to make another film. Mess up? Well thats going to cost you 30 frames per second each one taking minutes. I once made a 1:30 cartoon, the back ground was on paper but the characters were on transparencies, and each second was 30 drawings laid over the next. Hardest part was making the mouth look like it was saying the vowel "O" or the stress of an "E" whole thing was over 1000 transparencies. Staples charges $20.00 for a box of fifty so think 50$ per second. Was fun though.
