Kathy Loves Physics channel is amazing. When I discovered it, around the same time as Dave, I binge watched it. And I was pleased to see Dave's comments there.

I got interested in the history of science when I first got into contact with Thomas Kuhn's work (the guy of the paradigm shift). I'm currently reading his "Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894–1912" and I recently devoured (metaphorically speaking) "The Maxwellians" by Bruce J. Hunt.

My favorite part of the black-body theoretical progress at the turn of the previous century is the term "ultraviolet catastrophe" for what needed to be solved.

One question Dave missed is who wrote and recorded the a capella intro:

Electricity, electricity
Electricity, electricity ♪♩♫

Dave,

I met her last year at the PCB Carolina show and I bought her book. A great read. I highly recommend it!
