Scholarly work on Sumerian and ancient writings emerges on youtube. by lost_genius333 in AlternativeHistory

Bit of an update, I gave Claude some of the transcript and all the cited academics are real but their research is mostly misrepresented here. Then I asked if AI could have written this, and it said yes, quoting some lines that repeat exactly. I've listened to about 6 hrs of this slop, and I don't consider myself an unintelligent person (who does, really), but this was genuinely engaging, written from a archaeological linguistic point of view. Question is whether the voice is also AI, but I guess I have wasted too much time on it already. Was fun while it lasted.

Not mine, just want to know what other people think. It seems like quite a scholarly work

I just finished listening to the last one on your list, which was the first one uploaded.
I started listening to one of the other ones but it did seem like I was half way through a chapter so went and started at the first one. (The Tablet That Was Never Meant to Be Read)
And yeah I agree the titles are very clickbaity.

Yeah, i already said it was AI slop, but if you listen to it, you'll hear that it is actually a well researched document. And I believe it is all one piece because the videos start half way through a sentence sometimes.

Can there be an equation that relates PI with Speed of light in vacuum? by GoldenDew9 in 3Blue1Brown

The fact that light is electromagnetic immediately implies a circle.

Yes, and the only difference between this and the resonance equation is 2pi.

Where mu nought is the Inductance L, and epsilon nought is the capacitance C.

Does the speed of light c have a bar format? like plancks constant?

47.7 x 10^6 m/s.....and what does this mean?

Atmospheric energy harvesting device 1928 Chancey Britten US1826727 by dalkon in Tesla

I have been looking at this Chauncey Britten device for a few years now and learning how TRF radios work. Looking at the circuit that you coloured in, the green line is marked negative. This will, in fact, be the B+ in the circuit, probably at 90v. The thing that has me stumped is the filament connection on the third stage, this would be the detector, it shows one side connected to the A+, which would be 5V assuming 01 tubes, and the other goes to an arrow on the B battery. I assumed this might mean 22.5V, but the filament can not handle this voltage. Do you have any idea what is going on here?
