No, it wasn’t called “hacking” back then: it was called “scientific hooliganism”. Let’s talk about Marconi, Nevil Maskelyne, and a demonstration that didn’t go as planned. And go check out the Royal Institution’s channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFfRqoIdArM&index=3&list=PLbnrZHfNEDZyfUXqroIlSf2hOznnThqM0
I’m indebted to Sungook Hong’s wonderful book “Wireless”, which helped me track down some of the more obscure sources here — and to the British Library, whose incredible archives and microfilm tapes helped me find the original newspapers and journals you see in the video.

0:39 FARADAY'S STILL LECTURING WHAT SORCERY IS THIS
scom tott
wait, Faraday still gives talks in the lecture hall of the royal institution?
I'm surprised that this video wasn't sponsored by NordVPN
These videos could easily be recorded on a green screen, and it doesn't seem like standing in some field would make a difference, but I love all these videos because I love seeing the random locations of history. I could stand in that spot and not even know its history. So cool
Didn't Tesla's heirs sue the Marconi estate to prove that Marconi used (in some of his earliest attempts) Tesla equipment to send radio signals, and won?
.-. .- – … -.-.–
Marconi plays the mamba
The morse code in the thumbnail says KATS
About what you said about disclosure at the end…
In our country, it just happened twice or so in the last year that someone found a security hole in goverment-close companies systems, reported them to the companies, and they got arrested as the company claimed they caused serious damage. If they did not tell the company what they've found they would not know about anything. Roumor says the holes are still there, but I will not try them…
You're supposed to say that Marconi played around with a Tesla invention because that would be the truth. I guess Marconi got his 'karma' handed to him.
I thought it said macaroni and I was like “wow cool the guy who had something to do with the invention of a type of pasta made wireless things.”
From walking an empty hall to giving a talk. Good work, Tom.
Edit 00:40 add tom scott
Please remove the french translation. It's done by google translate, it's horrible and it's forced upon us, we can't disable it ourselves and it ruins the description and title
Macaroni vs mescaline
Clicked on this cuz I thought someone hacked something with macaroni
morse in thumbnail is "RATS"
I read that as "Macaroni"
"British mainland"
In America, you would actually be sued for this: Defamation.
I thought the title said macaroni
RATS WE’RE RATS WE’RE THE RATS
2016:“And so in the prestigious lecture hall of the Royal Institution, where Faraday and many, many others gave public talks — and still do –”
2019: gives lecture in the royal institution
I read it as "macaroni"
Surprised there was no VPN sponsership.
rats, rats we are the rats
Why rats?
Poldhu? Wouldn’t that be pronounced with a voiced dental fricative (English: polthu/ welsh Polddw)??
It’s weird, that there are only 2-3 comments under the comment.
