The first mechanical clock appeared around 13th century, I have no idea what records you have of this in 725

Love this video—amazing how innovation keeps repeating itself.
I just made a short doc on inventions history forgot—like a device from ancient Greece that could predict eclipses.
Posted it over on @thecurioussequence if anyone’s as fascinated by lost genius as I am.

I am surprised that menstrual cup is not there. It's the greatest invention of the century.

Its a crime not to mention the first nuclear reactor. We can literally control the power of the sun but people are too scared to fully utilise it and fund it.

Could we just give Bill Gates a little credit for inventing GPS?

Two things wrong here:
1) You got the date wrong, it was 509 BC not 508.
2) It didn’t start in Greece but in Rome.
(Also it’s capacitor not capacitator)

If I had to add one to the list, the invention of the nuclear power plant or the atomic bomb

The fact that most of these were discovered in the last 200 years is amazing

So cars make the list, but the humble bike is absent? Funny- to me cars are possibly one of the single WORST inventions of all time and a total misuse of one of our best- the ICE. There is absolutely NO use for a car that is not better served by a train, bus, truck, bike or foot. Carsflattened and uglified our cities, they make our air toxic to breathe and prevent our children playing outside. Car dependency has made us unaware how bad it is- we are like drug addicts who can't see how devastating this "great" invention has truly been, how much putting it's apparent convenience up on a pedestal has done to move us further apart and make our cities and overall environment more dangerous and damaged! Without cars cities would be more compact, less baron and more of a joy to navigate and for long distances we used to build railways- now we are seemingly stuck with expensive, polluting, ugly death machines! The humble bike and the mighty train could still be the most important innovations in transport EVER and vital to tackling climate change! Electric cars won't work because they destroy roads and the batteries are environmentally damaging to mine, and still depend on readily available energy. Forget Elon and his push to own the whole transport industry- bring back bikes and trains!

God engineered evolution from the first bacteria cells to humans now. He gave us the gift to discover and invent, and we ourselves have become creators now. I hope to see the eradication of polio, a return to a healthy planet, civilization on the Moon, and the discovery of what lies beyond ourselves, such as proof of extraterrestrial life, or even the proof of a deity.

How many trees do we cut to build solar farms and wind farms? How many big bird species would remain after 5 year of being fully "green"
