Watched an hour long documentary on the history of the difficulty of making blue LED lights this weekend lol.
Saw the thumbnail for that and added it to my watch later. So I'll probably never watch it
It’s actually a cool story. The dude was a technician and was shunned by the phd’s and had to repair equipment which gave him the skills to modify the machines to eventually succeed.. and he later got a phd like he always wanted…. If the story is to be believed…. Either way pretty sure that dudes family is loaded unless there’s a weird thing from his country where they don’t allow hereditary stuff but maybe not…. Dum dum dum…. Does he get rich I can’t remember but he seemed happy I think and proud rightfully so
The Veritasium version is only 33 minutes 😉
This was a great watch!
