YouTube Description:
In 1812, four men at Cambridge University met for breakfast. What began as an impassioned meal grew into a new scientific revolution, in which these men -- who called themselves "natural philosophers" until they later coined "scientist" -- introduced four major principles into scientific inquiry. Historian and philosopher Laura Snyder tells their intriguing story.

Sniper007says...Someone get that lady a hamburger. She's gonna float away.
spawnflaggersays...If you took her entire talk, word-for-word, and had Neil DeGrasse Tyson do it- it would be twice as good. She definitely lacked the enthusiasm and charisma you usually find at TED.
SevenFingerssays...Agreed. It was a very good talk, but I can totally see NDT blowing that place up with knowledge.
