Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Deadly dinos, laser beams, putrid
plants, cool machines
2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,920
Potty planets, moody moons,
strange science, big booms
3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,760
Experiments that make you
hurl, visitors from other worlds
4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,640
Earth's core, stinky space,
the future of the human race
5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,400
Science that did not go right,
things to keep you up at night
6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,320
Biology with stings and fangs,
chemistry that stinks and bangs
7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,640
Freaky physics we do that
8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,360
Quantum gravity, what's that?
9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,560
Weird and gross stuff you should
know
10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,080
Welcome to the Horrible Science
show!
11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,720
Welcome to a very special episode
starring
12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,200
three of the powerhouses of
science.
13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,320
First, put your hands together
for one of our brightest stars.
14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,000
It's light!
15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Argh! It's too bright!
16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Next up, make some noise for sound.
17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,400
HORN BLARES
Argh!
18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,120
Too loud. And, finally,
you heard the buzz.
19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,680
Let's shake the house
with electricity!
20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,920
ZAP
Ow!
21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Is this going to happen every time I
say light, sound or electricity?
22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,320
PIPETTE SCREAMS
23
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,680
Whoa. I didn't think this through.
24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,440
OK, while I get some much
needed medical attention,
25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,120
here's something about light.
26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,760
Waargh!
27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Time to meet your doom, planet
Earth!
28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,920
Ow!
29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Can you play somewhere else, please?
30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,800
We were here first.
31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,880
HE HISSES
Weirdo.
32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Thanks
for bringing us on a day trip, boss.
33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,520
It's not a day trip, Janine.
34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,440
It's the end of the world
as we know it.
35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,400
And a picnic. From here,
we'll have the best view possible
36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,600
for when I press this button
and switch off the sun.
37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,120
And then all the world leaders beg
for help,
38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,880
and I rule the world.
39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,480
Say goodbye to the sun.
40
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:13,680
Hmph.
41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,000
FRUSTRATED GRUNTS
42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,080
Toni, a word.
43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Why is nothing happening?
The sun is 93 million miles away,
44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,520
so it takes light eight minutes
and 14 seconds to get here.
45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,040
So you're telling me I have to wait
over eight minutes
46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,360
to see any difference? Yeah.
47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,360
Take a walk with me, Toni.
I just wanted to check you brought
48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,520
that crate of cute but ravenous
man-eating hamsters?
49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Oh, yeah, we did. It's right here.
Just go in and...
50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,400
TONI SCREAMS,
HAMSTERS SQUEAK
51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,960
Oh, so sad. I don't
think I'll ever get over her death.
52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,640
OW! Do you know how long it took me
to do my hair this morning?
53
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,200
No. Now...
54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,720
What can I do for eight minutes?
55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Man on, man on.
56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Pass! Man on. That is well offside.
57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,800
I'm open! I'm open!
What is he doing?
58
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480
I'm open. I'm open.
59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,960
BEEPING
60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,080
And that's eight minutes.
61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Thanks for the kick-about...oh.
62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,320
And now the sun should be off.
63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,760
Francoise, why is the sun still on?
64
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,680
Well, the sun is huge,
65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,520
330,000 times the size of the earth,
66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,000
so this machine can't make the sun
stop releasing energy.
67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Take a walk with me, Francoise.
Don't worry, I'm not cross.
68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Au revoir. I just need you to start
up the human vase-making machine.
69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,520
In you go. There we go...
70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,560
WHIRRING
71
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,240
FRANCOISE SCREAMS
72
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,000
So sad. I don't think I'll...
73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,640
FRANCOISE SCREAMS
74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,400
I don't think I'll ever get over
his...
75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,760
FRANCOISE SCREAMS
76
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,920
..death. I'll miss what's his name.
Of course, in a way,
77
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,600
he's still with us.
Actually, do you know what?
78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,360
Take a walk with me, Janine.
79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,560
These vases always look better
in pairs.
80
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Right.
81
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,680
VOICEOVER: When it's time to know
beauty.
82
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,000
When it's time
to know sophistication.
83
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,600
When it's time to know...the time.
84
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640
It's time for the sundial
wristwatch.
85
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,920
Sundial.
86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,120
No battery, no charging,
87
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,840
just the natural light of the sun
and precision engineering.
88
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:23,960
Precision.
89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,640
As the sun moves across the sky,
the shadow on the sundial changes.
90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Shadow.
91
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,600
That shadow is created
92
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,080
by a small, pointy stick called
a gnomon.
93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,320
Num... Num-num. Nwan... Num.
94
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,720
Small, pointy stick.
Small, pointy stick.
95
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,880
It tells you the time
96
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,640
using numbers on the dial's face,
except at night-time.
97
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,120
Except...
98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,040
Wait. What's the point in that?
99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,040
The sundial from Solax.
100
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,400
It needs the sun to work
101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,360
and only gives a rough idea of
the time,
102
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,920
so don't rely on sundials
for anything important.
103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,520
The sundial wristwatch.
104
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Warning - sun not included.
105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Only tells the right time if kept
106
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,240
in exactly the position it was
designed for.
107
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,480
Other than that, it's great.
108
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,600
VOICEOVER: Coming and going soon,
109
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,240
the disappearing moon.
110
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,640
..and then he saw
the werewolf's teeth!
111
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,560
THEY SCREAM
112
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,880
HE CHUCKLES
113
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,280
I'm glad it's not a full
moon tonight.
114
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,480
Legends say werewolves come out on
a full moon.
115
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Awooooooo!
116
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Wait, hang on. Werewolves only come
out when the moon is full,
117
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,480
as in, like, a fully round circle.
Yah! What are you doing?
118
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,720
WEREWOLF SIGHS
119
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,320
I can't believe
I've got to explain this again.
120
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Right, the moon is round.
No, it's not.
121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,080
Look at it. Tonight, it's like a
toenail clipping.
122
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Right, number one, gross.
Number two,
123
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,760
granted, you can only see a
crescent-shaped bit,
124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,640
but the rest of it is still there.
125
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,880
The moon doesn't actually
change shape. Number three...
126
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,240
I'm hungry, so, "Awooo", etc.
127
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't just
make up moon science cos
128
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,760
you're feeling peckish.
129
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,200
I'm not making it up.
Right, give me that.
130
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,920
Hey, that's my torch.
Give me a minute.
131
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,360
I can explain this with some props.
132
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,320
Right, you're the earth, OK?
133
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,920
You're the sun.
134
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,760
OK, so, what we see on earth is just
the sun's light reflecting off
135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,640
the moon as it travels round the
melon.
136
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,800
Er, the earth. Where did you get a
melon and orange from?
137
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,080
I brought them with me from home.
138
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,360
It's amazing how often I have
to explain this to my victims.
139
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,480
Victims?! Yeah, we'll get to
that bit.
140
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,680
The half of the moon facing the sun
is always lit up, like this!
141
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,480
From the earth, the amount of the
lit half we can
142
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,480
see changes as the moon travels on
its orbit around earth.
143
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,880
I always thought the moon was made
of cheese.
144
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,880
No, it's made of rock
and it's always round,
145
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,760
therefore it's kind of always full.
146
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760
We just can't always see the whole
moon. To be honest,
147
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760
the moon's actually there during
the daytime half the time,
148
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,040
so I'd be well within my rights
to attack you in the morning.
149
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,240
Right, if it's all right with you
guys...
150
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,600
..I'm going to eat you. Um,
I would just say we've been walking
151
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,000
for days without a shower,
so we smell a bit.
152
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,080
If you grab our backpacks,
153
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,200
we could stick some deodorant on
before you eat us.
154
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Ooh, seasoning.
Well, that's very good of you.
155
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Oh, great. Well, yeah, sure.
Most people aren't actually
156
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,720
this cool about it. To be honest,
I'm glad of the chat.
157
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,840
It can be nice to...
158
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Oh, they've gone.
159
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Well, I guess it's fruit
for dinner again tonight.
160
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,560
Ah, it is a tale as old as time, no?
161
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,000
I find myself caught between
the two loves.
162
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320
On the one hand, I love the light.
163
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,600
Oh, come here, ma petite cherie.
164
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280
Mwah. Ow! Mwah. Ow! Mwah. Ow!
165
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,560
But, on the other hand,
166
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,800
I love the sound of my wings
when they go the flap-flap!
167
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,760
Muh-muh-muh-mwah!
But what is better?
168
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Light or sound?
Only one can win my heart.
169
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,600
Although, I have to admit,
I'm hoping it's light.
170
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,040
Light, I love you.
171
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Mwah-mwah... Ow, it's hot!
It's very hot!
172
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Hello and welcome to Sci Sports.
This is...
173
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,040
Physics Grudge Match.
174
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,520
I thought we agreed I was going to
say that bit. No, you agreed.
175
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Yeah, and you agreed with me.
176
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,520
I didn't. I agreed,
you agreed, we agreed.
177
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,280
Anyway, it's finally here, the race
you've all been waiting for.
178
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Light...
179
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,200
..versus Sound.
180
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,720
It's a best of three contest and in
181
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600
the first event they will be racing
through air.
182
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,360
Here we go.
183
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,520
HORN BLARES
184
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,400
And they're off... Nailed it!
185
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,840
..and it's over. Light wins!
186
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,440
Even though Sound travels at a
whopping 767mph in air,
187
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,360
we clocked the winner Light at
a staggering 671,000,000mph.
188
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,400
If you did that in a car, they'll
give you a six-month driving ban
189
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,400
and telling them that you're a TV
presenter
190
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,080
cannae help you, trust me. I
wouldn't trust you to put your shoes
191
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,960
on the right feet, Gordon.
192
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,320
Looks like Sound doesn't stand
a chance.
193
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Oh, not so fast, Sara.
The next race is underwater.
194
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,560
Who can travel furthest?
195
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:13,720
It can all change here.
196
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,800
I know. I was literally
197
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,000
in the same meetings as you about
this event, Gordon. Oh, right.
198
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320
HORN BLARES
And they're off again!
199
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,280
Oh, and look at that!
Sound has won this leg.
200
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,080
Oh, there's still no sign
of Light at the finish line though.
201
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120
She's probably avoiding you, Gordon.
Hmph.
202
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,440
No, wait. There's Light.
203
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,560
She's only made it about 1,000
metres. Unimpressive.
204
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,000
Yep, that's right. Light bounces off
all the closely packed particles
205
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,720
in a liquid, so she can't travel
as far.
206
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Oh, getting through those particles
is like trying
207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520
to push past a queue of toddlers at
the fairground.
208
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,440
They're like, "Oi, you!
What are you doing
209
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,560
"on the tea cups?
You're too old for that."
210
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,440
We're not talking about
the race any more, are we, Gordon?
211
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,800
I love those teacups, I do.
212
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,560
So, it's 1-1.
213
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,080
Light's faster through air
and Sound can travel
214
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,400
further through water.
215
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,240
But who will win in a race
in the vacuum of space?
216
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Wow! The starting horn didn't even
make a sound at all.
217
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,760
Can think of someone else I'd rather
didn't make any sound
218
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,360
at all, Gordon.
219
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,680
Well, there's nothing at all in the
vacuum of space,
220
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,680
which means she cannae move
221
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:26,520
because Sound needs particles
to travel through.
222
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Whereas Light goes even faster
223
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,760
when there aren't any particles
to get in its way.
224
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,240
So...Light wins!
225
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Oh-ho-ho!
226
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,560
I can't actually hear
227
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:39,840
what Light is shouting
because there's no sound in space.
228
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,000
But I'll tell you what,
it does not look friendly.
229
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,680
So, Light wins 2-1
230
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,400
and that's everything from us here
at the Physics Grudge Match...
231
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,960
Physics Grudge Match.
I am saying that bit.
232
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,360
How many times? And your shoes
are on the wrong feet, by the way.
233
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,160
I can't believe light wins
in a competition against sound.
234
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,040
I have always preferred sound,
235
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,800
but then that's probably
because I am so...
236
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,840
Ahem.
237
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Muuuu....siiii...caaaaaaaaal!
238
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,200
Ha-ha! Oh, yes, I have
had whole audiences on their feet.
239
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Well, running for the door,
which is a bit harsh.
240
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,800
I mean, there are far worse sounds
than the ones I make.
241
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,240
La...la...laaaargh....!
242
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,200
VOICEOVER: The Royal Albert Hall is
hosting a ground-breaking concert.
243
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Morning. Featuring a once
in a lifetime performance from
244
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,080
a soloist with
a very special instrument...
245
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,920

SHORT NOTE,
SHORT FART
254
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,080
Farting is just like playing
a brass instrument. With a trumpet,
255
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,160
sound is made by vibrating your lips
256
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,720
as you blow air into the mouthpiece.
257
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,560
OK. From the bottom, ja?
I'm doing the same thing,
258
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,520
except the mouthpiece is my bum
and the air is a trump.

where a bum note is a good thing.
262
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,960
With one week to go
until the big night,
263
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520
the wind is blowing
in the wrong direction.
264
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
No, no, no, no, no, no!
265
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,080
That was wrong. Um,
266
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,800
actually, that last one wasn't me.
267
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,640
Philip? Out!
268
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,440
We don't need two trouser trumpets
in the orchestra.
269
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,000
PHILIP SOBS
270
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Grace, I want passion.
I want you to open up.
271
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,240
That sounds risky. Take risks.
The bottom is like a
272
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,840
brass instrument. For a louder
sound, you blow out more gas,
273
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,960
more quickly. I want the audience
to hear your talent.
274
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,400
If they're near the front,
275
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,680
I want them to smell it,
maybe even...
276
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,160
..taste it.
277
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,160

there are more problems.

280
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,520
OK.

00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,440
THUNDEROUS FART
Oh!
282
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,720
The curtains will open tonight,
and all the doors and windows. Ooh!

00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Shepherd's pie? Yes. Oh, well done.
284
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,960
And, with the beefy
smell of anticipation in the air,
285
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,480
it's time for the final performance.

Ooh! Sorry about that.
304
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,120
I just finished off
some lovely nectar
305
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,040
and I think I drank it a bit
too fast.
306
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,840
Yeah. All right,
I don't mean to brag...
307
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,920
Well, I do, because us bees really
are amazing.
308
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,040
When we land on a flower
to drink nectar,
309
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,000
some of the flower's pollen sticks
to us, too,
310
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,280
and we carry it to other flowers,
which helps create new flowers.
311
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,360
Oh, ha, and we make a really
312
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,920
lovely buzzzzing noise
as we fly around.
313
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,800
But why do you think we buzz?
314
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,240
Is it because...
315
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,080
..or we're singing because we're
so happy doing our jobs,
316
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,440
flying from flower to flower?
Ntzz, ntzz, ntzz.
317
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,280
Ha-ha-ha! I will shake my
bee-autiful booty
318
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,600
while you think of the answer.
319
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,160
Yeah, feast your eyes.
320
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,600
All right, that's enough of that.
The answer is...
321
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,960
B!
The noise comes from our wings,
322
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,120
which flap so fast they make a
buzzing sound.
323
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Bzz! All right, anyway,
this bee's got to bounce.
324
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,160
Electricity is everywhere,
it's even inside you right now.
325
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,560
Yep, us brain cells use electricity
to send signals.
326
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,120
They're constantly firing off
to other parts of the body.
327
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,600
Pew-pew! That's a message for the
lungs.
328
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,360
Pew-pew! That's one off to the
kidney.
329
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,800
Pew-pew-pew! That one's gone off to
the bum muscles, but...
330
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,920
Ooh, actually, you don't need
to know about that one.
331
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Pew-pew! That was a message to the
hand to open a window, just in case.
332
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,720
Pew-pew! And that was a message to
the mouth to ask the question,
333
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040
"But what is electricity?"
334
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,040

Can I have a waffle?
335
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,200
Oh, they're closed. I'm Sir Isaac
Newton, a very hungry
336
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,160
and very serious scientist.
337
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,840
But today I shall be
riding on this giant
338
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,600
mechanical dragon so you can
all laugh at me screaming.
339
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Now, get out of my way. Famous
scientists go to the front. Shoo!
340
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,680
Today on Science and Speed,
I shall be answering the question,
341
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,160
"What is electricity
and why did I agree to do this?"
342
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Oh, no, we're moving.
343
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,920
Now, electricity is a very useful
344
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,840
type of energy.
345
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,920
It powers your phone.
346
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920
It lights your home.
347
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,400
Oh! "Go to the seaside," they said.
348
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,760
"You'll have a really fun time,"
they said.
349
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,680
Anyway, electricity powers
350
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,880
even the screen
that you're watching right now
351
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,240
and this absurd monstrosity
that I'm riding.
352
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,480
Now, most electricity...
353
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,080
Oorgh! ..is made by generators
354
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,520
that are powered by things
like coal...
355
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,800
..GAS...
356
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,400
..SUNLIGHT!!
357
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,360
HE SCREAMS
..WIND...
358
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:22,920
HE SCREAMS
359
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:29,640
Electrical energy is carried
by TINY PARTICLES called electrons.
360
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,800
HE SCREAMS
361
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,280
To control...!
HE WAILS
362
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,840
To control where the energy goes,
363
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,800
electrons usually FLOW...
364
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,320
..THROUGH ELECTRICAL WIRES.
365
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760
Aaargh!
366
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,920
A bit like weewee is flowing
down my leg right now.
367
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Ugh! Oh, oh.
368
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,120
Are we done?
369
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,880
BIRD SQUAWKS
370
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,000
Why are you doing that, then?
I just open my beak and...
371
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,960
SHE SQUAWKS
Not that! I know how to squawk.
372
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,200
SHE SQUAWKS
373
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,800
I mean, sitting on an electric wire
without being, you know...?
374
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,520
HE SCREAMS AND SPLUTTERS
375
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,040
Yeah, that. Oh, I'm perfectly safe.
376
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,040
See? How come Corville
just got fried?
377
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,400
Because he was touching the wire
and the tree.
378
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,640
If you touch the wire
and something else that's
379
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,840
connected to the ground,
380
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,000
you make a circuit
for the electricity to pass through,
381
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,920
so it passes through you. What?!
So how come you're safe?
382
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,200
Well, I'm only connected to the
wire.
383
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,920
I'm not giving the electricity
384
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,880
any option to change
where it's going,
385
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,120
so it stays in the wire.
386
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:54,520
It just keeps doing what it's
doing - minding its own business.
387
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,440
So you're saying, as long
as a bird isn't touching the ground,
388
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,960
or touching something
else that's touching the ground,
389
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,880
it can sit on the wire and be safe?
Mm, basically.
390
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,880
It's one of the perks of being
a bird,
391
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,680
where you can just fly up here
and land on a wire.
392
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,720
If a human tried it, they'd get...
393
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,040
ZAP AND SCREAM
394
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,120
Yeah, that. Now, come on,
rest your feathers.
395
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:19,720
It's a lovely view from up here.
396
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,880
Ooh! You're right.
It's lovely up here, isn't it?
397
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,200
Ooh! Look at me. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
398
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,160
SHE GIGGLES
Oh! Mind yourself.
399
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
If you touch two wires at the same
time...
400
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,680
SHE SCREAMS,
SHE FARTS
401
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,520
..you'll make yourself the perfect
402
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320
circuit for electricity to flow
through!
403
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,080
Probably best to stay away from
wires entirely, like the humans do!
404
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,880
Phew! That was lucky.
405
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:52,440
Argh!
406
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,880
Ooh, what are the chances?
407
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,680
I'm back with another
of my science reaction vids.
408
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,600
They will make your jaw drop almost
as fast as the speed of light.
409
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,680
That is really fast, you guys!
410
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,240
Ah, this video is about lightning.
411
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,560
I love lightning, it's how I get my
hair to stand on end.
412
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,000
Waargh!
ZAPS
413
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,880
EINSTEIN CACKLES
I'm just joking.
414
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,760
Please do not write in.
415
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,360
I spent three hours in the hair
and make-up.
416
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,960
Oh, looky, looky! That is our Tesla
coil, ein big machine
417
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080
that creates lightning
with ein voltage of...
418
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,520
Now, remember,
lightning is super dangerous,
419
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,240
so you shouldn't do anything stupid
with it.
420
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,480
So what is this guy doing?
No way! He's going to zap the car
421
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,440
with him in it. Uh, that
American football helmet
422
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,320
won't protect you from lightning.
423
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,160
Lightning does not tackle you like
a quarterback.
424
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,520
Trust me, bro, I'm ein scientist.
425
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,360
Argh! Oh, wow!
426
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:55,680
Oh, boy! My stomach
is doing the boingy-boingy.
427
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,840
This is...not scary at all.
428
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,760
This is uber wunderbar!
Don't do this at home, obviously.
429
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,920
OK!
430
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,880
We're going into lightning.
Ja! Science is happening.
431
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,920
Ooh, here it comes! Oh...!
432
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,480
Oh, it's passing over.
433
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,640
Guys, I've got to be honest,
434
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,280
I don't know what the helmet
is contributing at this point.
435
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,920
We are under. Am I dead?
Am I dying?
436
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,000
No, funny American, you are
not dying.
437
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,800
In fact, you are
perfectly safe.
438
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,200
The metal frame on the car
acts like a shield.
439
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,400
The lightning is trying
to find its way to the ground,
440
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,280
so it goes around
the outside of the car and down.
441
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,920
So, inside the car,
he's totally fine.
442
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,160
Sorry to be a buzzkill!
443
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,760
But lightning is dangerous, so...
444
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,920
Well, he survived,
even with the silly helmet.
445
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,560
I give that seven million tongue
bagels out of five.
446
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Ah!
447
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,720
OK, we've made a couple
of adjustments to the sign
448
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,560
and I'm almost positive it's going
to be fine now.
449
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,160
So thank you for watching our
light...
450
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Ergh! ..sound...
451
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,600
HORN BLARES
Ow! ..and electricity.
452
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,680
ZAP
453
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,080
..special. I hope it was loud,
dazzling and shocking.
454
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,560
HORN BLARES AND ZAPPING
455
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,960
But, before we go,
456
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:20,120
we've got a sparky little number
from Nikola Tesla about...
457
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,280
Do I really have to say it?
Yep, you do.
458
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,680
..electricity.
459
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,800
ZAP
460
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,120
Oh, come on!
461
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,600
Oh, I'm Nikola Tesla
462
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,440
Electrical pioneer
463
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:45,880
I crossed the world
from Croatia to the USA
464
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,520
Where I played around
with electricity
465
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,560
So...
Don't shock me now
466
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,240
I won't shock you,
but I'll show you how it works
467
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Show you how it works
468
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Electricity starts its life
in a power station
469
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,120
Turbines produce the energy
470
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:08,360
It's sent to our homes using wires
471
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:12,560
And really big pylons,
where it will flow, flow, flow
472
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,240
For use by you and me
473
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,280
It powers so much stuff, yeah
From fridges to games
474
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,680
Electric trousers
and this disco light
475
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,920
But touching a
livewire's not bright
476
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,680
Not even for a
super cool inventor like me
477
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,920
Don't shock me now
Don't shock me now
478
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,800
My alternating current was
a worldwide hit
479
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Don't shock me now
Don't shock me now
480
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,760
If you want to make the power flow
You need a closed circuit
481
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,800
Don't shock me now
But be careful with wires
482
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,640
Don't shock me now
We don't want a fire
483
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,280
Don't want to get shocked at all
484
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,960
I developed lots of gadgets
I'm part of the reason
485
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,000
There's power inside
your house right now
486
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,680
I was eccentric
I couldn't touch hair
487
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,720
Fell in love with a pigeon
488
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,000
I also loved, loved, loved
489
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,640
The number three
490
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,600
The writer Mark Twain
was my pal, yeah
491
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,160
He tried my experiments
492
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,160
He said they were good
for his health
493
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,360
Though this one made
him poo himself...
494
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:19,120
FART
I really wish you wouldn't tell
495
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,280
That story about me
496
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,400
Don't shock me now
Don't shock me now
497
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,760
I like inventing strange stuff
498
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,360
What can I say?
499
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:29,440
Don't shock me now
Don't shock me now
500
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,160
Like this Tesla coil
501
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,400
And maybe even a death ray
502
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,680
Don't shock me now
Just a zappity-doo
503
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,200
Don't shock me now
It might make you poo-poo
504
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,760
We don't want to get shocked
at all
505
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,600
Zap, zap, zap, zap, zap
506
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,720
Zap, zap, zap, zap
507
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,680
Zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap
508
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,920
Zap, zap, zap...
509
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,200
And switch off the... Ow!
510
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000
Did I pre-empt it?
I pre-empted it.
511
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,200
It's a slow chicken.
512
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,720
A slow chicken!
513
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,320
