37
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.360
I would like to hear the backstory of this, but

38
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.199
I just can't find it anywhere. Seventeen fifty five in

39
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.039
the Philippines they closed all non Catholic Chinese restaurants. Eighteen

40
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.919
fifty nine. A French acroback called Charles Blondon. He was

41
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.360
the first person across Niagara Falls on a tight rope.

42
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.199
Eleven people have done it now, ten men and one woman.

43
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.439
Eighteen seventy eighty, Kelly She became the first American woman

44
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.960
to graduate from law school. Yeah, it's Northwestern University today.

45
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.360
Nowadays fifty five percent of all graduates from law school

46
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.759
are women. Now, he was just a twenty seven year

47
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.639
old clerk in nineteen oh five when Albert Einstein released

48
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.840
his thirty special Relativity you know, equals in C square.

49
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.879
Now it's known as the Tunguska Event. It's the largest

50
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.080
impact basically recording ever in Earth history. It was the

51
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.120
nineteen oh eight Nights Siberia. It was near the Tunguska River.

52
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.039
A large fireball I think it was probably a meteor

53
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.240
exploded in the air over the area. Now, the explosion

54
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.360
of fireball, it leveled eighty million trees over eight hundred

55
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.280
and thirty square miles. That's one thousand times bigger than

56
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.639
the bomb that they dropped on Herotia. It's so remote though,

57
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.719
they don't think anybody was killed there. Yeah, but they

58
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.199
did take out a bunch of reindeer. Now, they can't

59
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.680
really prove that it was a mid air meteor burst

60
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.479
