The original people that the Kon Tiki expedition tested their theory on didn't use clocks, did they? Crossing the deserts, they didn't use clocks, did they? How on earth did they manage? A stick and its shadow by day and the stars by night. Things were not so rushed then, people had time to think and reflect. Well, it's 22.20 here in London, I'm orff. rofl

Hi Martin, I live in Lupton House between around 1968-1973, Am I having a false memory or was it possible to go underneath Lupton house where there was some sort of storage area? Also, was your friend Terry Pickles a carpet fitter with a couple of brothers?

John Harrison.. Born at Foulby.. A small village 9 miles from where I am sitting this minute; This man is a hero on an epic world level and I feel proud to have him as a local to myself
@robert-zj7ef2 ай бұрын
Why Harrison was not given the prize money is apparently due to the arrogance and condescension of the board m3mbers.. It is class warfare. That exists today in government, society and corporations. It is the" YOU ARE NOT LIKE US , THEREFORE YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE". I did enjoy the documentary. !

Humm, pendulum clocks do not go well with boats because the waves rock the boat and that disturbs the balance mechanism. So a pendulum clock would be inaccurate on a boat.

@scabbycatcat42022 ай бұрын
Like all documentaries they all manage to leave a massive gaping , obvious question that remains unanswered right the way through. " Harrisons clocks were astonishingly accurate to within 1 second per day "......... How did he know ? Did he have another clock that was perfect with which to compare it ?? I don't think so . In that era where clocks were in their infancy , how could you possibly measure ANY clock to within 1 second per day ??

This is very interesting, but there is one thing that is missing. How did Harrison know that his clock was accurate to one second a day? That would imply that he knew how to get the exact time, and there was something to compare to. And how did he do that? It wasn't with a sundial. We have scientific means to get the current time. The fact that he was trying to make an accurate clock meant there was nothing available back then.

I'm surprised that this lovely man - as involved in longitude as he is - mispronounces "longitude" as though there were an additional "t" after "long". There is no "t" there and so the word IS - and should be pronounced - LONG- I- TUDE and not LONG -TI- TUDE....... Admittedly - Latitude and Long -ti- tude rolls off the tongue in a more satisfying way than "Latitude and Longitude (no extra "t") - but it's wrong.....

How I would love to go to Greenwich and see all that. Years ago I was visiting my nephew, and while waiting for him to finish up some work at his office one afternoon I perused his books and found Dava Sobel’s lovely work ‘Longitude.’ I was immediately captivated by the story, and I finished it just as my nephew was getting back home. Powerful. What a story, what amazing people! I’m enjoying reading the comments from those who’ve spoken of their visit to Greenwich; I’ll never be able to go myself but I’m thrilled for those who have been. For those who haven’t read the book, it’s wonderful to while away part of an afternoon in its company. I’ll be reading it again soon. Thank you for the video!
