and welcome to a groundbreaking edition of five daily trivia questions.
3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.800
Let's explore some fascinating facts about the father of microbiology.

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.519
Question one, Which failed art project in Pastor's youth accidentally
5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:30.719
led to his first scientific breakthrough about crystal formation? Question two?
6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.759
What common kitchen ingredient helped Pastor approve his germ theory
7
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:41.719
when other scientists kept claiming his experiments were wrong? Question three?
8
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.840
Which famous world leader secretly funded Pastor's Rabi's research after
9
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:52.960
what tragic incident with the Royal dogs? Question four? What
10
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.159

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:12.840
an experiment, leading to a mistake that saved millions. We'll
14
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.319
be right back with these scientific answers after this break.
15
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.719
Welcome back, trivia fans. Let's reveal today's answers. Question one
16
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.519
asked which failed art project in Pastor's youth accidentally led
17
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.719
to his first scientific breakthrough about crystal formation. Answer. A
18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.480
botched attempt at making stained glass led him to discover
19
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.920
molecular asymmetry when the failed glass crystals formed unexpected patterns.
20
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.920
The original broken glass pieces are still in the Pastor Institute.
21
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.159
Question two asked what common kitchen ingredient helped Pastor prove
22
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.560
his germ theory when other scientists kept claiming his experiments
23
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.959
were wrong. Answer. He used swan necked flasks filled with
24
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.319
chicken broth to prove that germs came from the air,
25
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.200
not spontaneous generation. The broth remained sterile until the next
26
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.599
were broken, finally convincing skeptics. Question three asked which famous
27
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.319
world leaders secretly funded Pastor's rabies research after what tragic
28
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.439
incident with the Royal dogs. Answer Czar Alexander the Third
29
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.919
funded the research after his hunting dogs contracted rabies. He
30
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.080
kept its secret to avoid public panic. The funding arrived monthly,
31
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.879
hidden in boxes of Russian tea. Question four asked what
32
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.879
everyday object did Pastor design that still used in modern laboratories,
33
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.520
though most people don't know he invented it. Answer. The
34
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.479
Petrie dish was his modification of his wife's soup plates,
35
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.439
designed to better observe bacterial growth. He never patented it,
36
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.800
wanting it to be freely available to all scientists. Question
37
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.719
five asked which of Pastor's discoveries happened because he fell
38
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.400
asleep during an experiment, leading to a mistake that saved millions. Answer.
39
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.360
He accidentally left a chicken collar culture out overnight, creating
40
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.560
the first attenuated vaccine when the weakened bactie area still
41
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.159
provided immunity. The lab assistant who forgot to wake him
42
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.639
was given credit in his Nobel speech that concludes today's
43
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.560
five daily Trivia questions. I'm journey Joe Mitchell, and today's
44
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.800
