  1. BOLLONI OR BS! THE NO.1 INVENTION OF ALL TIME – The Perpetual Motion Machine. The Permanent Atoms of the Periodic table are – the Worlds ONLY Perpetual Motion Machines. This means that mankind; the food chain; eco systems were all planned, designed and made by God. Why? Scientists can't make ONE single Perpetual Motion Machine. Thanks, Buff.

  2. All these inventions are amazing and I think God I live in a society that has them, but I also struggle with anxiety and depression and my ancestors never even knew what that was until we decided to give it a and people I would give anything to go back before all theseinventions were made and living for sex food and sleep because ultimately that’s still what I live for

  3. Thank you for creating and sharing this video. I found your perspective on the top 10 inventions of all time very inspiring. While it was very interesting to watch, I must admit that I don't agree with everything.
    Speaking of my top inventions, I would include writing, the light bulb, books, the camera, and the pill.

  4. Here is my take on how the steam engine & locomotion came about.
    This is fiction until proven otherwise.
    I haven't studied this in detail, my brain is just pondering.
    The person that built the contraption, I believe he originally invented it for powering the industrial looms at the cotton mills.
    Having the contraption built, then transporting to mills in different areas of the country by horse & cart.
    Then the idea came to create a drive wheel & belt system attached to the carts axel so it could "move under it's own steam".
    It performed badly though, gaining ground was painfully slow & the wooden carts kept collapsing & the loom belts kept flying off & it was an interesting invention, but it was impractical for the idea of becoming locomotive.
    It was later found out that the steam engine on the cart performed exceedingly better on track rails & it had to be built out of iron, this the beginnings of locomotive cross country travel & then the world seemed a lot smaller to people, because what would take them days on horse & cart, would only take a few hours at most by steam locomotive.

  5. After watching this list, I cannot believe you left out written language. Would have been an easy segue with paper invention, and would have emphasized the impact of paper and the printing press even more too.
