I'm almost disappointed this wasn't a 35 minute deep dive on Glue
But you stuck around all the same
I'm disappointed he didn't showcase the stupidity of people, as it relates to what they thought would be hilarious to glue together. It would have been a perfect segue into the cohesive deterioration of glue through a natural process, id est, sweat, which would segue into deodorant.
I absolutely would have listen James do a 35 minute deep dive on about just about anything technical or mechanical
New Mind does deep dives on the evolution of engineered products like glue, sandpaper and cardboard. And they arnt just some crappy production that mocks your intelligence either, it’s very professional
So dumbed down. Ridiculous
Love James May and am hoping there are plenty more where this came from.
This is just reuploaded old content unfortunately i don't think he does this anymore
@@Atomy111 That's what I was thinking, but I'm hoping that they can upload some more episodes. Hopefully this isn't the only one in the series. Fingers crossed.
I’m afraid there’s only one James May.
Meanwhile, Jeremy and I are going to glue James's car doors shut...

Thank you.
Cheers mate.
Spoiler
Thanks very much. We missed that man called The Captain Slow, who's now at The Grand Tour. James May also a good friend of Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond formerly on Top Gear.
'......cheese.' Sorry, had to be done (if you haven't seen the meme, this will seem like a very odd thing to post)
I sometimes forget that this channel used to be Head Squeeze!
Head Squeeze! Thank you, I couldn't recall the name, but I knew it wasn't Man Lab.
I love videos like this, and of course having James May present it makes it that more entertaining. Plus, I appreciate that the final sentence is a dig on Hammond.
Thank you BBC Earth Science and Mr. May! This is interesting and well done. I'm very glad this is available, thank you again.
Good stuff! I especially loved the last second loving jab at Hammond. Great work!
He still didn't explain why super glue sticks to me but not the object that I am trying to glue together.
maybe you're a bit rough. 😂
Sorry I couldn't resist, I'm sure you're really a lovely person and not at all rough. 😁
Most likely the item you are trying to glue is oily or glossy and your hands are cleaner and dry.
This was great, really helped my insomnia
Vand der vaals force is described incorrectly, it's created from instantaneous dipoles, not from the interaction of polar forces.
Even non Pilar molecules experience this.
Vand der vaals force is spelled incorrectly Van der Waals Force is the correct spelling :-) The rest of your statement is also correct. Well done. I will not troll you on the difference between instantaneous dipoles and a true polar molecule/polar interactions. That would make me look bad.
But how can you glue audio and video together? Apparently it's a mystery to the BBC
There is a delay because of the Doppler effect!
I just watched a video that left me feeling really icky. Back to the home page. Scroll. Oooh James May! My version of kittens and puppies when I need to feel better! Perfect timing. Thank you 😊
How does.....James May keep appearing on our screens? Ah, it's the BBC.
This show is awesome
Watching the RADAR segment made me think of something: Sending and receiving EM waves is a big part of the tech, but what about the timing mechanism? Light travels very fast! The elapsed time is incredibly small. Did they have to also develop timer/clock of new ability/precision?
More of this please! ❤
James mays solo programs are still the best
Thanks for not including the incorrect episode in which james may ( by extension the research team) claims that glass is transparent because it is a slow moving liquid.
(the real answer is the complex interaction between light and the particles that make up the glass. This interaction is also why when we add different particles to glass, we can make filters which can allow us to select which light particles we want to make it trough the glass)
Clarkson be like, James only you could make science boring.😂😂
James you forgot to mention rice starch, the Great Wall mortar of choice. Love the show
Love you May! 🤘
🤮
Very interesting
Despite Hammond and Clarkson's constant jokes about May being boring, I've watched every docuseries he's made, and listened to him narrate his audiobooks. There are certain voices that go with certain topics. For example in the UK, David Attenborough is the voice of natural history. And I'd say James May is the voice of science, tech, and man stuff.
Good days ❤❤
I wasn't that interested in glue, but I was in Radar. Thanks, James.👍👍
@11:50: In addition to Doppler radar, there is one more major development: radar arrays. Numerous small transmitters are structured as a flat grid. Radio waves are emitted such that destructive and chicken interference between the waves results in a directed wave. The direction can be altered without moving the physical array.
Arrays can also be used with ultrasonic audio waves. The can produce waves emanating from a distant point.
The descriptions of this, like "hearing a sound coming from within your own head" make me think of Havanna Syndrome.
I imagine these arrays will be transformational for various kinds of wave emitters - light, radio, audio, x-ray, etc. Military radar is already switching over. The next-gen AIWACS will have a flat "fin" instead of the current, spinning disk. And there are interesting kit radar arrays that can be experimented with now.
What year was this filmed?
Oh. I thought the whole thing was going to be about glue. That would have been more interesting.
wow a young james may lol
I am 50 years old and I have an allergy to chemicals, so I don't use deodorant.
Once every couple of years someone might say I smell if I haven't had my normal routines...
But even if I get really smelly I normally only have to air out for about half an hour and I won't smell anymore
Should this be added to the James May's Q&A playlist?
3:19 ok the wording is just purely James May now
I'm trying to imagine Jeremy Clarkson being forced to watch this
He'd just sit there grumpily saying, bored, bored, bored!
I liked these more than Amazon's James May eating cheese in Japan.
Or man in Japan was great. Our man in India less so
if you want a really good laugh, turn on the auto-generated captions.. LMAO
Clarkson and Hammond are snoring to this
James May is basically BBC's Internet personality!
Hey Bim ... Guess what ?
You're very smart .😀
James May is the perfect presenter for discussing inventions as he was there at the time they were invented. Like the wheel. Or fire.
Hoof Grip Pro. That is some magic sh*t.
James and I may be the only ones who remember Hai Karate anymore. 😁
Remember the Ad?, black and white,some dude chopping a piece of wood in half with his forearm?, that and Brut...MANLY smells!
@@schiz0phren1c Oh yeah man. I remember it well. He had to fight the chicks off ! 😄👍✌️
@@DoubleMrE And that's what led me to take up Martial Arts!
this man needs a Knighthood
R.G.B., Red. Green. Blue. Not Yellow! On a TV, yellow is produced by combining red and green.
I think Samsung made a yellow TV years ago
@@cinthe3 WRONG! Samsung's were known for yellow vertical stripes because of blue channel issues. And their backlights tended to fade to warmer/ more yellowish. But they never produced a set using a yellow pixel. Current video operates in an RGB space. You could not directly map to a yellow replacement pixel.
James May saying the word GLUE is an aphrodisiac.
✔️
How does.... James May talking about anything produce interesting results
However, the audio is not even a little bit in sync with the video
Good news!!!!!
James May stole my bicycle .
The LCD displays use red, GREEN and blue. Not red, YELLOW and blue. Surprised he didn't know that. Its because our eyes have Red, green and blue receptors. Our eyes perceive yellow as a combination of those colours.
How old is this and why is the sound not in synch?
Subject 1. James, the 3 colours in a crt are rgb, red green and BLUE NOT Yellow as you said.
Thank you! I'm surprised he got something so basic wrong.
10 years ago my camera had 13 mega pixels. 1mp was about the turn of the century.
But why does superglue go on all your fingers instead of the thing your trying to glue and the only way to get it off , is pulling the top layers of skin off
Adrian Newy. 🎉❤😂
Pls answer this question: why can't you comment straight away on YT the way one used to? You have to wait 60 seconds, like one does when it's live!
Censorship
Just as you said it...glue, combination of both quantum mechanics (vanderwaals force) AND chemistry (locking bonds) and whatever other physical processes (pressure, tension, compression etc.).
I thought even if it's simple glue - no mixing - it was still a chemical reaction as it sets?
No, adhesive at its simplest is a compound that fills the voids between and can bond to the two pieces being joined. You don't necessarily want the adhesive to react to the base material (bonding primer might be required, or it may be self etching) because typically, a reaction would compromise the material and the strength of the joint (this is why you have to use specific construction adhesive for foam).
The bond to the base material typically comes from its ability to fill the voids or soak into the material. Porous materials will allow it to soak in, but even metal has voids for adhesive to fill. Drying comes from exposure to air or porosity of the base material (the moisture soaks in and dissipates). Reactive chemicals might be required when there is no air, quick drying, or special properties required.
Wait I thought he quit
I can't address the deodorant information, but I will offer this about adhesives.
I once worked with the Adhesives and Sealants group of the Dow Chemical Company. There, I learned more about the stuff than any man should know. They stuck things to cars, boats, subway trains, airplanes, well just about anything that remained static long enough to get their sticky fingers on. The last I checked, they were working on adhesives for the tops of cereal bags, and if you've tried to open one lately, you know they're doing well.
Do you know how difficult it is to type when your fingers are stuck together with CA?
It's Vice Versa James.
That was groovy in a far out happening kind of way.
Red, Blue & Yellow ??? I think you'll find TVs use(d) Red, Green & Blue not yellow ! - Cyan, Magenta & Yellow are secondary colours, whereas RGB are primary colours. Really James, you surprise me not knowing that.
Red, blue and yellow?
There was once an experiment in which someone didn't wash for a year.
At the end of the experiment, guess what?
He *didn't* smell.
18:18 There was...
Any relation to Theresa?
you'd think someone could have taught him how to say the words he was reading out before he started
I buy his gin. I’m buzzed off his gin now. Should you drink his gin? Yes. Get the navy strength !
Those Dirty Fokkers 😂
On the subject on timekeeping, the most accurate pendulum clocks ever made, the Shortt Synchronomes, are accurate to one second in five years. A quartz watch is accurate to within 10 minutes a year. To be fair the Synchronomes use two separate pendulums
Airplane glue is what travels today.
Also it smells nice :-)
Cheese!
Some people are actually attracted to the natural body order.
as usual for james...not even a car in sight and slower as a snail...
James is looking healthy
Its because he's 10 years younger in the video. 😄
Needs a haircut.
What happens when AI May gets self aware?
why is he not in a sportscar
Oh hey yeah. I use Radar, every day. Every waking moment. It's called hearing. It's like radar. You can tell where everything is. Just by listening. Just ask Stevie Wonder. I did. In an interview. But that's neither here nor there. I use the same radar..
Because as an, Audio Engineer. I know sound is bouncing around at, 1100 ft./s. Approximately. And that's all I need to know. Where I can put my microphones. And what I want them to pick up and how. And so I also realized. Quite by happenstance. I think I can see sound moving around the room. Look over there! Oh you missed it.. It goes around really fast. It's like going down a concentric circle. And disappearing up its own ass hole. It would be a crazy thing to see. And I can see the sound rushing around. I can even see the sound coming out. From in front of my speakers. As you can't hear it coming, directly from your speakers. As it shoves the sound out. In front of your speaker. And I can usually see the focal point where it, emanates from. It's strange. I know. But I've been doing it for 50 years. Though? You might think I have Synesthesia? I don't. I don't see any colors. I only see the sound. I can see it coming toward me. Rushing away from me. Bouncing back and forth sideways..
As an, Audio Engineer. I only Mix for, 2 Channel Stereo. I don't mess with, Surround Sound.. But I discovered. In my Mixing Technique. I was always mixing for Surround. Without knowing it. As my 2 Channel mixes. I heard pass through a Dolby Professional Sound Surround Processor. And I was amazed to hear. What I wanted to hear. Coming out of the rear speakers. Yup. Exactly as I intended the listener to hear it in stereo. Now in, Dolby 5.1 Surround. I was completely amazed. As they also didn't tell me. It was my mix. I thought they had contracted somebody else to mix the multitrack master I had recorded for them. And they did. Released on CD. But I'm watching the DVD. And it's definitely a different mix. I told the producer. An assumed the other guy had mixed it differently for the video? He said nope it's your mix. My mix? I only give you a stereo mix. He said yes but we put it to the Dolby Surround Processor. It came out perfectly. Who knew? I just achieve the same thing in stereo. You can also.
So it was around 30 years ago. I realized I was much better than I had given myself credit for. As that recording was nominated for both a Grammy a Soul Train Nominations. And it was only a rough mix I supplied to the producer. In stereo. Just a rough one. I never expected that. He said my mix worked better for television than the guy who mixed the CD. He did a great job. I love what he did. Those are my tracks? Those are my tracks. I recorded. That's all I was hired to do. Record the multitrack. And provide a rough mix for the video editors to work from. It stayed with the video. It wasn't supposed to. They were supposed to stripe on, the CD mix. He said it didn't work as well. They opted to keep mine. You just never know when things like that are going to happen. I was having conversations with my partner. Eating pizza and drinking beer. During that whole live recording. Little did I realize? My mixes are the ones that got nominated. I thought that was very funny. Voted best engineered? It definitely was not my best engineering. Hmmm? I guess I'm not a hack? I reckoned?
Since then I've gotten a couple more. Not bad for a high school dropout with a GED. I'd say. I did say.

Why do a lot of peoples armpits smell like chicken noodle soup if they don't use deoderant (or forget to put it on after they shower)?
Why do I get the strong feeling that the corynebacterium animations are Scottish?
Gotta jab at someone any chance they get huh?
"adhesives probably work through several or even all of the things I've just described" after describing two bonding principles is a poor writing.
How old is this episode anyway -- plasma televisions?? - the whole script is weird and full of errors. James reads out that CRT primary colors were red, blue and yellow which is preposterously wrong, but could be explained by a poorly educated script editor who remembered from kindergarten that their teacher explained those were the primary colors -- for paints.
@@KanalFrump I believe that error I mention is because of editing. Most probably he did describe more bonding methods, they just did not end up in final cut, hence the poor wording. Bu then again, stating that it's still not known how glue works, is that for real? When we know which gene is responsible for horns in cows, we do not know how glue works? Could it be that this whole video is just super old, something from archives and now dug up, refreshed and posted? And yeah, it's not only CRT tube principle, most of electronics prior to digital and component signal provided individual RGB channels. Sometimes encoded in composite/s-video/RF package but RGB nonetheless.
why does the background look like art attack/ euro trash 😂😂😂
This needs CHAPTERS.... Deodorant something I really don't need to watch for what seemed like 30 minutes.
Put some glue into a plastic bag and take a deep breath. You will know how it works
Have humans been proven to excrete pheromones?
Bro thinks he’s James may!
What about Super Glue, Or Gorilla Glue?
Superglue is cyanoacrylate, which he mentioned.
And gorilla glue is a polyurethane adhesive. Both are activated by moisture.
Stupid aeroplane graphics with the wobbly engines and the plane flying backwards!
Has james may have ADHD
poor lip syncing, very irritating 😠
