Im Jahr 1855 stellte Charles Goodyear das erste Gummi-Kondom her. Seither hat sich einiges getan.

Certains procédés, très utilisés aujourd'hui, ne sont pas seulement dus à l'ingéniosité de leurs inventeurs. En effet, le hasard a tenu une grande place dans leur mise au point. C'est le cas du type de caoutchouc inventé par Charles Goodyear.Né en 1800, ce chimiste américain s'intéresse très tôt au caoutchouc, un produit issu du latex. Il croit dans les potentialités de cette gomme, mais joue de malchance. Dans les années 1830, la fabrication d'une valve en caoutchouc devant équiper les gilets de sauvetage est un échec.Tout comme la mise au point de sacs postaux, qu'il fabrique en ajoutant de l'acide nitrique au caoutchouc. Mais le soleil fait fondre les sacs !Ces tentatives infructueuses s'expliquent en partie par la nature même du caoutchouc. Quand il fait chaud, il a tendance à devenir mou, alors que le froid le durcit. Et puis les produits finis ont un autre défaut : ils collent aux doigts. Tant que Goodyear ne sera pas parvenu à stabiliser le caoutchouc, et à en éliminer le caractère collant, il n'arrivera à rien.Alors il cherche. Et croit trouver la solution. Il entend parler des travaux de certains de ses collègues chimistes qui, en ajoutant du soufre au caoutchouc, auraient obtenu un produit qui ne colle plus.Alors aussitôt dit aussitôt fait. Mais, même avec l'addition d'un peu de soufre, le résultat n'est pas satisfaisant. Un jour, cependant, le hasard vient enfin à son secours.Un soir, il laisse du caoutchouc près du poêle allumé. Voilà que le produit s'enflamme. Exaspéré, il jette le morceau de caoutchouc par la fenêtre. Tombé dans la neige, car nous sommes en hiver, il se refroidit rapidement.En allant le ramasser, le lendemain, Goodyear est tout étonné de constater son élasticité. Il avait inventé, sans le savoir, un procédé nouveau : la vulcanisation. Elle consiste à chauffer un mélange de caoutchouc et de soufre, ce qui permet d'obtenir un matériau résistant et insensible aux variations de températures.C'est cette technique qui est employée aujourd'hui pour la fabrication des objets en caoutchouc, et notamment des pneus.

Charles Goodyear opferte dem Gummi alles: Seine Gesundheit, sein Geld und sein Privatleben. Das Naturkautschuk war bereits entdeckt und das Potential erkannt, aber das Material hatte einen entscheidenden Nachteil. Bei Kälte wurde es porös, bei Hitze klebrig. Regenjacken und Stiefel mit Kautschuk-Überzug konnten deshalb nicht lange genutzt werden. Charles experimentierte, ohne jegliche chemische Ausbildung mit Naturkautschuk. Aber ein Fail jagte den nächsten, Charles musste sogar ins Gefängnis... Doch als schon alles verloren schien, half dem armen Erfinder der Zufall! Willkommen zu unserem True Science-Podcast! Wir reden über die absurden, irren, romantischen und verworrenen Geschichten hinter Entdeckungen und Erfindungen. Denn in der Wissenschaft gibt es jede Menge Gossip!

This episode introduces us to the first attempts at "plastic materials" in the 19th century, from vulcanized rubber by Charles Goodyear and Thomas Hancock, to Alexander Parkes's "Parkesine", the first synthetic polymer. Later polymers of the Victorian era include Celluloid, rayon, photographic film and the rise of easy photography, the mostly forgotten charmer of the Art Deco word called galalith, Bakelite, and cellulose acetate--also called Celanese. Among the chemists we meet are John Hyatt, George Eastman, Louis Bernigaud, Wilhelm Krische, and Leo Baekeland, and Camille and Henri Dreyfus. But even with these developments, chemists still weren't sure what a polymer really is.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

Asi podria haberla llamado. Hacía todo lo que se suponía que debía hacer el caucho, bajo todo tipo de condiciones climáticas y durante largos períodos de tiempo. En este día de 1844, Charles Goodyear, de Nueva York, patentó lo que se convertiría en la sustancia «mágica» del siglo. Por casualidad, dio con la respuesta que muchos buscaban desesperadamente.El caucho se conocía desde hacía tiempo, pero nadie conseguía que fuera estable y, por tanto, útil. Quien lograra conquistar la sustancia y hacerla utilizable en la vida cotidiana podría ganar mucho dinero. El látex, la savia líquida blanca de los árboles de caucho, tenía todo el potencial para convertirse en el producto maravilloso del futuro. Pero no importaba la combinación de productos químicos con la que se combinara, por ensayo y error, nada parecía funcionar. La savia tratada y calentada se volvía pegajosa y acababa desintegrándose.Y entonces, un extraño accidente saltó a las páginas del destino. Una vez en un siglo, un extraño desliz del destino hace esto para un inventory le entrega el descubrimiento soñado de su vida. Goodyear llevaba años invirtiendo en el proyecto del caucho. Había gastado todo su dinero, sacrificando incluso el bienestar de su familia para resolver el dilema y alcanzar el premio. Un día, mientras trabajaba con el último compuesto de látex, se desprendió un poco del utensilio que utilizaba para extenderlo sobre un trozo de tela. El trozo de látex cayó sobre la parte superior de la estufa caliente, y cuando lo recogió se sentía diferente. Era firme y a la vez elástico al tacto, como una esponja. ¡Y listo! Dio con un descubrimiento que había eludido a inventores y químicos durante años. Desgraciadamente, Goodyear nunca llegó a obtener la riqueza que le correspondía por su éxito. Empresarios y fabricantes codiciosos utilizaron sus ideas sin pagarle nunca lo que valía su éxito.Incluso cuando las cosas no salgan como deseas, anímate y sigue dando lo mejor de ti. Dios te recompensará y te dará una bendición simplemente porque perseveraste para alcanzar tu meta. Si eliges servir a Dios, sabes que sufrirás decepciones. Satanás se encargará de ello. Pero si tomas a Dios como tu socio, no puedes equivocarte. Dios nunca ha fracasado en una empresa.

The raw rubber material, however, was perishable.then in 1839 Charles Goodyear made the revolutionary discovery of the process of vulcanization. This method cured the rubber and made it durable.  Why are there so many pink erasers? well...One of the ingredients in erasers is a substance called pumice. The type of pumice used were primarily pink or red

Charles Goodyear may have developed vulcanized rubber in 1839, but its origins are actually much older and more playful than you might imagine. After a visit to ancient Mesoamerica, Azhelle Wade joins us to talk about her career as a toy designer, patented inventor, and her latest adventures in the business of play as “The Toy Coach.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tune in today to hear about Charles Goodyear, the American self-taught chemist and manufacturing engineer who developed vulcanized rubber. Without vulcanizing, or Charles Goodyear, you wouldn't have things like sneakers or tires!

On 29th December, some of the interesting events that took place were: 1800 :  American chemist and manufacturing engineer, Charles Goodyear was born. 1844 : Co-founder and First President of Indian National Congress, Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee was born.  https://chimesradio.com    http://onelink.to/8uzr4g   https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/   https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/   Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many people think our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived short and miserable lives. In fact, that's what most anthropologists thought. Until the 1960s, when they looked more closely at how foragers got by. The way foragers “worked” can tell us a lot about the way we, as creators, work. Farming gets a lot of output with little effort No one can be exactly sure when a human first planted a seed to grow food, but this one act was one of the most revolutionary in human history – up there with the invention of fire, or the internet. The agricultural revolution meant humans no longer needed to roam around, searching for food. But, with the innovation of agriculture came some trade-offs. We had to wait for our crops to grow, so we had to stay in one place. But staying in one place didn't work out-of-the-box everywhere. As anthropologist James Suzman points out in his book, Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots, the first successful cities sprouted up in floodplains. These areas flooded regularly, and that refreshed the nutrients in the soil, which was a must for successful farming, as crop-rotation hadn't yet been invented. Which brings us to another drawback of farming. Yes, farming gets you a lot of food with little effort, but eventually your once-fertile soil runs out of nutrients. Creative “farming” grows ideas into finished products As creatives, it's useful for us to “farm.” Plant seeds of ideas. Give them water, sunlight, and fertile soil, and eventually you'll have a crop of creative products to harvest. I talked in my book, Mind Management, Not Time Management, about “creative systems.” Cultivating ideas takes time. By working with the cycles of your energy to do short bursts of work, and letting incubation do the rest, you can always have creative products to ship. (I talked specifically about my creative system for Love Mondays newsletters on episode 260.) Creative farming is a great way to consistently turn ideas into finished products. But foraging is where you get the ideas in the first place. Foraging is more effective than you think In the 1960s, anthropologist Richard Borshay Lee lived with a hunter-gatherer tribe in the Kalahari desert. He carefully tracked what they spent time on, and what they got out of it. Lee found these tribes met all their needs for food in just fifteen hours work a week. They consumed well over the daily recommended intake of 2,000 calories, and they did it all without farming. They did it by foraging. Fifteen hours a week to get everything you need. That sounds appealing to many of us. Fifteen hours a week is ironically the number of hours economist John Maynard Keynes once predicted we in the industrial world would work. In 1930, in the midst of the Great Depression, Keynes had the guts to predict that by 2030, we would at least quadruple our productivity. As a result, he said, we would work only fifteen hours a week. But foraging doesn't lead to progress We reached that quadruple-productivity mark way back in 1980. But we still work way more than fifteen hours a week. Why? We can make philosophical arguments about the hedonic treadmill, and how we buy too much junk. But one thing is for sure: We want to see “progress.” These hunter gatherer tribes, who have sadly been all but completely driven off their foraging land by the industrial world, did lead rich lives. They worked for what they needed, they had plenty of leisure time, and everything they did was deeply integrated with their families and communities. But they didn't have running water, electricity, or modern medicine. Many lived as long as anyone in the civilized world – if they reached adulthood. But they had a high infant-mortality rate, which pushed down the average lifespan. They didn't have what we consider “progress.” They didn't wonder if their children would live in a world with human flight, space exploration, or the internet. Each generation's life was essentially the same as the previous. Creatives need to forage As creatives, we can't just farm. We need to “forage,” too. We need to wander around, follow our curiosities, and see what surprises we can find. The hunter-gatherers of the Kalahari lived in such a rich ecosystem, they could always feel confident they could find something to eat if they went and looked for it. But as a creator, happening upon a feast is less common. It's not every day a song comes to us in our sleep, like it did when Paul McCartney wrote “Yesterday.” Or that a happy accident occurs, like when Charles Goodyear spilled chemicals and developed vulcanized rubber. This is why you need to farm what you forage. Forage, then farm, to have great ideas, then make them real Farming what you forage isn't just a good way to do creative work. If you want to be consistent, it's the only way. This is hard to see, because we're working in a world that's a relic of the assembly line. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, and software developers, themselves, are produced on assembly lines. They follow curricula. They take exams. These exams have bubbles they fill out, so a machine can read them – as long as they're filled out with a number-two pencil. But, like farming, these professions grow stale, like soil being sapped of nutrients. The curricula have to change, as do the exams. But those curricula don't change from farming over and over. Someone has to farm what they forage, to change the field. Remember from episode 266 that for Henry Ford to put workers on the assembly line, he had to first farm what he foraged. It took a lot of experimentation and tinkering – from Model A to Model S, in addition to the work he did in two previous failed car companies – before the Model T was ready to be produced en masse. But the soil eventually got sapped of its nutrients. While Ford refused to change the Model T until sales dwindled, other car companies were farming what they foraged – innovating to build better cars. We're not used to farming what we forage. It's not how work has gotten done in recent history. But as automation and AI threaten more and more jobs, we're freed from the drudgery of just farming. We need to forage, too. I talked in episode 250 about how I farm what I forage with my digital Zettelkasten (that article has since expanded into a successful book by the same name). To forage, I explore what interests me – reading books, listening to podcasts, and having conversations. To farm, I take notes, then categorize and connect them. These seeds of ideas grow over time, until I'm ready to harvest them. An idea can grow into a tweet, then a newsletter, then a podcast episode, maybe eventually even a book. Farming = clock time; Foraging = event time Farming and foraging call for different ways of thinking about time, too. In episode 235, I talked about the difference between “clock time,” and “event time.” Clock time's most recent roots come from Frederick Taylor's scientific management. Breaking actions down to split seconds was a big departure for farmers who moved to cities to work in industry. But farming, too, was a likely predecessor of clock time. Foragers could usually be confident that if they were hungry, they could find something to eat. When you live in a diverse ecosystem, if one thing is not doing so well, something else is. In fact, when Richard Borshay Lee was studying foragers, there was a drought. The nearby farmers couldn't grow crops. To survive, they had to rely on outside food aid. The tribe he was studying did not. They got by on foods they had found in the wild. When you're farming, you can't count on finding food whenever you're hungry. You have to grow it. So, you have to think carefully about time. If you don't plant your seeds, pull weeds, or water crops today, you'll be hungry a long time from now. This is probably one reason cultures close to the equator tend to think more about the present, whereas cultures in climates with changing seasons think more about the future. When surviving tomorrow depends upon what you do today, you think ahead. If you focus too much on farming, you'll always be on clock time. If you keep planting the same seeds and growing the same crops, your soil will become sterile. If you focus too much on foraging, you'll always be on event time. If you only rely on what you find in the wild, you'll always be living hand-to-mouth. You'll be waiting a long time between one idea and the next, and you'll struggle to develop them into finished products. Find a seed with potential, then plant it To farm what you forage, make space to wander. Follow your curiosity, even when it feels as if it will take you nowhere. But when you find something interesting that might have potential, plant the seed. Build creative systems that help you keep ideas growing, without sapping your soil. If you do those two things, you'll never have famines, and always have feasts.

Nearly everything is fine in moderation. Plastics exploded as an industry in the post World War II boom of the 50s and on - but goes back far further. A plastic is a category of materials called a polymer. These are materials comprised of long chains of molecules that can be easily found in nature because cellulose, the cellular walls of plants, comes in many forms. But while the word plastics comes from easily pliable materials, we don't usually think of plant-based products as plastics. Instead, we think of the synthetic polymers. But documented uses go back thousands of years, especially with early uses of natural rubbers, milk proteins, gums, and shellacs. But as we rounded the corner into the mid-1800s with the rise of chemistry things picked up steam. That's when Charles Goodyear wanted to keep tires from popping and so discovered vulcanization as a means to treat rubber. Vulcanization is when rubber is heated and mixed with other chemicals like sulphur. Then in 1869 John Wesley Hyatt looked for an alternative to natural ivory for things like billiards. He found that cotton fibers could be treated with camphor, which came from the waxy wood of camphor laurels. The substance could be shaped, dried, and then come off as most anything nature produced. When Wesley innovated plastics most camphor was extracted from trees, but today most camphor is synthetically produced from petroleum-based products, further freeing humans from needing natural materials to produce goods. Not only could we skip killing elephants but we could avoid chopping down forests to meet our needs for goods. Leo Baekeland gave us Bakelite in 1907. By then we were using other materials and the hunt was on for all kinds of materials. Shellac had been used as a moisture sealant for centuries and came from the female lac bugs in trees around India but could also be used to insulate electrical components. Baekeland created a phenol and formaldehyde solution he called Novolak but as with the advent of steel realized that he could change the temperature and how much pressure was applied to the solution that he could make it harder and more moldable - thus Bakelite became the first fully synthetic polymer. Hermann Staudinger started doing more of the academic research to explain why these reactions were happening. In 1920, he wrote a paper that looked at rubber, starch, and other polymers, explaining how their long chains of molecular units were linked by covalent bonds. Thus their high molecular weights. He would go on to collaborate with his wife Magda Voita, who was a bonanist and his polymer theories proven. And so plastics went from experimentation to science.  Scientists and experimenters alike continued to investigate uses and by 1925 there was even a magazine called Plastics. They could add filler to Bakelite and create colored plastics for all kinds of uses and started molding jewelry, gears, and other trinkets. They could heat it to 300 degrees and then inject it into molds. And so plastic manufacturing was born. As with many of the things we interact with in our modern world, use grew through the decades and there were other industries that started to merge, evolve, and diverge.  Éleuthère Irénée du Pont had worked with gunpowder in France and his family immigrated to the United States after the French Revolution. He'd worked with chemist Antoine Lavoisier while a student and started producing gunpowder in the early 1800s. That company, which evolved into the modern DuPont, always excelled in various materials sciences and through the 1920s also focused on a number of polymers. One of their employees, Wallace Carothers, invented neoprene and so gave us our first super polymer in 1928. He would go on to invent nylon as a synthetic form of silk in 1935. DuPont also brought us Teflon and insecticides in 1935. Acrylic acid went back to the mid-1800s but as people were experimenting with combining chemicals around the same time we saw British chemists John Crawford and Rowland Hill and independently German Otto Röhm develop products based on polymathy methacrylate. Here, they were creating clear, hard plastic to be used like glass. The Brits called theirs Perspex and the Germans called theirs Plexiglas when they went to market, with our friends back at DuPont creating yet another called Lucite.  The period between World War I and World War II saw advancements in nearly every science - from mechanical computing to early electrical switching and of course, plastics. The Great Depression saw a slow-down in the advancements but World War II and some of the basic research happening around the world caused an explosion as governments dumped money into build-ups. That's when DuPont cranked out parachutes and tires and even got involved in building the Savannah Hanford plutonium plant as a part of the Manhattan Project. This took them away from things like nylon, which led to riots. We were clearly in the era of synthetics used in clothing.  Leading up to the war and beyond, every supply chain of natural goods got constrained. And so synthetic replacements for these were being heavily researched and new uses were being discovered all over the place. Add in assembly lines and we were pumping out things to bring joy or improve lives at a constant clip. BASF had been making dyes since the 1860s but chemicals are chemicals and had developed polystyrene in the 1930s and continued to grow and benefit from both licensing and developing other materials like Styropor insulating foam.    Dow Chemical had been founded in the 1800s by Herbert Henry Dow, but became an important part of the supply chain for the growing synthetics businesses, working with Corning to produce silicones and producing styrene and magnesium for light parts for aircraft. They too would help in nuclear developments, managing the Rocky Flats plutonium triggers plant and then napalm, Agent Orange, breast implants, plastic bottles, and anything else we could mix chemicals with. Expanded polystyrene led to plastics in cups, packaging, and anything else. By the 60s we were fully in a synthetic world. A great quote from 1967's “The Graduate” was “I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening? Plastics.” The future was here. And much of that future involved injection molding machines, now more and more common. Many a mainframe was encased in metal but with hard plastics we could build faceplates out of plastic. The IBM mainframes had lots of blinking lights recessed into holes in plastic with metal switches sticking out. Turns out people get shocked less when the whole thing isn't metal.  The minicomputers were smaller but by the time of the PDP-11 there were plastic toggles and a plastic front on the chassis. The Altair 8800 ended up looking a lot like that, but bringing that technology to the hobbyist. By the time the personal computer started to go mainstream, the full case was made of injection molding. The things that went inside computers were increasingly plastic as well. Going back to the early days of mechanical computing, gears were made out of metal. But tubes were often mounted on circuits screwed to wooden boards. Albert Hanson had worked on foil conductors that were laminated to insulating boards going back to 1903 but Charles Ducas patented electroplating circuit patterns in 1927 and Austrian Paul Eisler invented printed circuits for radio sets in the mid-1930s. John Sargrove then figured out he could spray metal onto plastic boards made of Bakelite in the late 1930s and uses expanded to proximity fuzes in World War II and then Motorola helped bring them into broader consumer electronics in the early 1950s. Printed circuit boards then moved to screen printing metallic paint onto various surfaces and Harry Rubinstein patented printing components, which helped pave the way for integrated circuits. Board lamination and etching was added to the process and conductive inks used in the creation might be etched copper, plated substrates or even silver inks as are used in RFID tags. We've learned over time to make things easier and with more precise machinery we were able to build smaller and smaller boards, chips, and eventually 3d printed electronics - even the Circuit Scribe to draw circuits. Doug Engelbart's first mouse was wood but by the time Steve Jobs insisted they be mass produceable they'd been plastic for Englebart and then the Alto. Computer keyboards had evolved out of the flexowriter and so become plastic as well. Even the springs that caused keys to bounce back up eventually replaced with plastic and rubberized materials in different configurations.  Plastic is great for insulating electronics, they are poor conductors of heat, they're light, they're easy to mold, they're hardy, synthetics require less than 5% of the oil we use, and they're recyclable. Silicone, another polymer, is a term coined by the English chemist F.S. Kipping in 1901. His academic work while at University College, Nottingham would kickstart the synthetic rubber and silicone lubricant industries. But that's not silicon. That's an element and a tetravalent metalloid at that. Silicon was discovered in 1787 by Antoine Lavoisier. Yup the same guy that taught Du Pont. While William Shockley started off with germanium and silicon when he was inventing the transistor, it was Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce who realized how well it acted as an insulator or a semiconductor it ended up used in what we now think of as the microchip. But again, that's not a plastic… Plastic of course has its drawbacks. Especially since we don't consume plastics in moderation. It takes 400 to a thousand years do decompose many plastics. The rampant use in every aspect of our lives has led to animals dying after eating plastic, or getting caught in islands of it as plastic is all over the oceans and other waterways around the world. That's 5 and a quarter trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean that weighs a combined 270,000 tons with another 8 million pieces flowing in there each and every day. In short, the overuse of plastics is hurting our environment. Or at least our inability to control our rampant consumerism is leading to their overuse. They do melt at low temperatures, which can work as a good or bad thing. When they do, they can release hazardous fumes like PCBs and dioxins. Due to many of the chemical compounds they often rely on fossil fuels and so are derived from non-renewable resources. But they're affordable and represent a trillion dollar industry. And we can all do better at recycling - which of course requires energy and those bonds break down over time so we can't recycle forever. Oh and the byproducts from the creation of products is downright toxic. We could argue that plastic is one of the most important discoveries in the history of humanity. That guy from The Graduate certainly would. We could argue it's one of the worst. But we also just have to realize that our modern lives, and especially all those devices we carry around, wouldn't be possible without plastics and other synthetic polymers. There's a future where instead of running out to the store for certain items, we just 3d print them. Maybe we even make filament from printed materials we no longer need. The move to recyclable materials for packaging helps reduce the negative impacts of plastics. But so does just consuming less. Except devices. We obviously need the latest and greatest of each of those all the time!  Here's the thing, half of plastics are single-purpose. Much of it is packaging like containers and wrappers. But can you imagine life without the 380 million tons of plastics the world produces a year? Just look around right now. Couldn't tell you how many parts of this microphone, computer, and all the cables and adapters are made of it. How many couldn't be made by anything else. There was a world without plastics for thousands of years of human civilization. We'll look at one of those single-purpose plastic-heavy industries called fast food in an episode soon. But it's not the plastics that are such a problem. It's the wasteful rampant consumerism. When I take out my recycling I can't help but think that what goes in the recycling versus compost versus garbage is as much a symbol of who I want to be as what I actually end up eating and relying on to live. And yet, I remain hopeful for the world in that these discoveries can actually end up bringing us back into harmony with the world around us without reverting to luddites and walking back all of these amazing developments like we see in the science fiction dystopian futures.

Charles Goodyear made an accidental discovery on this day in 1844.

Charles Goodyear made an accidental discovery on this day in 1844.

¿Un vídeo entero hablando de presiones? Pues sí, porque muchos ignoran lo mucho que influye la presión de los neumáticos en la seguridad, en el agrado de conducción y en el consumo. Y te vamos a contar todos los secretos, todos los trucos, algunas curiosidades… y un poquito de historia. A esa cosa redonda, negra, con un agujero en medio y que muchos no consideran bonita, no se le presta la importancia que tiene. Y a las presiones, aún menos. Y todo, absolutamente todo lo que hace un coche, acelerar, frenar o girar, depende de los neumáticos. Siempre lo digo, el mejor coche potente, sofisticado y carísimo, con unos malos neumáticos o unas presiones inadecuadas, no vale nada. En competición, lo habréis visto incluso en la Fórmula 1, se vigila con celo la presión de los neumáticos. Algo que parece tan sencillo os aseguro que es un reglaje clave que influye y mucho en el comportamiento del monoplaza. Y en los coches de calle, sobre todo por temas de seguridad, su vigilancia es igual de importante. No siempre los neumáticos han llevado aire dentro. En los primeros coches entre la rueda, que era de madera, y el propio suelo, se interponía una banda de caucho pegada y clavada o atornillada. Poco más que las carretas. Tened el cuenta que al principio los coche eran simples carruajes sin caballos y con motor, pero enseguida se vio que en un coche de caballos la “tracción” dependía de las herraduras, pero en un coche, dependía de la adherencia entre la rueda y el suelo. Había mucho que mejorar y os vamos a contar esa historia en la que aparecerán nombres que os suenan, como Dunlop, Michelin o Goodyear. A lo mejor te sorprende, la primera motivación fue el confort. La mayor parte de las carreteras eran caminos y en las pocas carreteras y calles pavimentadas abundaban los baches y las piedras. Al señor John Boyd Dunlop se le ocurrió la idea de cambiar los neumáticos de goma maciza por un neumático con una cámara de aire hinchada dentro… la suavidad de marcha era espectacular y el inventó triunfó. De esto hace un poco de tiempo, pues fue en 1887. Los neumáticos y las cámaras iban pegadas a la rueda. Cuando pinchabas podías cambiar la rueda por la de repuesto, en esos tiempos era frecuente llevar dos o más, y seguir la marcha. Pero como se pinchaba a menudo muchas veces había que reparar a rueda in situ, lo que implicaba coger un formón y despegar el neumático de la llanta y volver a pegar otro… una tarea que a un conocedor de la técnica le podía llevar dos o tres horas. Los hermanos Michelin pensaron que tenía que haber una forma más sencilla de hacerlo e inventaron los neumáticos desmontables. En 1898 aparece otro nombre ilustre en el mundo de los neumáticos: Charles Goodyear. Años después inventa los neumáticos con talón, una especie de anillo que mantiene, ayudado por la presión del aire, el neumático sujeto a la llanta. Nace el neumático moderno y en 1916, asociado con la empresa Firestone, se convierte en el fabricante número 1 del Mundo. Con menos presión, el neumático se deforma más, absorbe mejor las irregularidades y se calienta más, pero es más confortable. Con mas presión se deforma menos, es más incómodo, pero flanea menos, tiene menos deriva y el coche es más preciso. Llevado al límite, por ejemplo en competición, si hinchas mucho un neumático disminuye su huella y agarra menos… con solo la presión de los neumáticos puedes cambiar el comportamiento de un coche. Hay que buscar un equilibrio y para eso lo mejor es que sigáis los consejos que os voy a dar: 1. Mirar las presiones con frecuencia. 2. Manómetro de confianza. 3. ¡Siempre en frío! 4. ¿No puedes en frío? Truco. 5. ¿Qué presión pongo? 6. Rueda de repuesto, ¡no la olvides! Coche del día. Voy a escoger un coche con el que aprendí mucho de este tema de las presiones: El Peugeot 205 GTi, pero el 1.9, que era un coche muy eficaz, pero había dejado de ser ese coche sencillo y amable de conducir que eran los 1.6 de 105 y luego de 115 CV. ¿El motivo? Su potencia, la falta de motricidad y una estabilizadora trasera para arreglar el problema del tren delantero… y pasarlo al trasero.

C’est au 19e siècle, aux États-Unis, que Charles Goodyear découvre par erreur le procédé de vulcanisation du caoutchouc.

Warum Patente Erfinder und ihre Erfindungen schützen - und warum sie für Charles Goodyear zu spät kamen

Das erste Gummi-Kondom war ein Nebenprodukt. Charles Goodyear machte durch die Vulkanisation des Kautschuks für viele Dinge plötzlich ein neues Material nutzbar. Das erste Qualitätssiegel für Kondome gab es erst viel später.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 15, 2021 is: vulcanize • VUL-kuh-nyze • verb : to treat crude or synthetic rubber or similar plastic material with chemicals to give it useful properties (such as elasticity, strength, and stability) Examples: "In 1939 [Charles] Cornell invented a safer and more efficient way of patching holes in tires. Previously people put a piece of rubber on the tire and put heat on it as part of the vulcanization process. Cornell discovered a way to use chemicals to vulcanize the patch to the tire without heat, revolutionizing the industry, [Mike] Murray said." — Maria DeVito, The Newark (Ohio) Advocate, 18 Mar. 2017 "The station was known for the service it provided vulcanizing tires. This type of repair involves external tire damage, such as sidewall cuts, chipped lugs, cracks in the shoulder, and bead damage." — Scott Mall, FreightWaves.com, 20 Nov. 2020 Did you know? Vulcanize might sound like something Spock from Star Trek might do, but the explanation behind this word has more to do with ancient mythology than it does with science fiction. Vulcanization in its simplest form consists of heating rubber with sulfur in order to improve the rubber's qualities. The Roman god Vulcan (whose Greek counterpart is Hephaestus) was the god of fire and of skills that used fire, such as metalworking. So when Charles Goodyear discovered that high heat would result in stronger rubber, he called the process "vulcanization" after the god of fire. Goodyear developed the idea in 1839 and acquired a patent for it in 1844.

How cool would it be to come up with an invention that is so important that someone ends up naming their company after you? That's exactly what happened with the great inventor we are looking into in this episode, Charles Goodyear. Yup, he didn't start Goodyear what-so-ever!! But his invention of vulcanization was so crazy important that Frank Seiberling started the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company using the Goodyear name. Join us for a quick chat about the life of Charles Goodyear, how he came up with vulcanization, and more!

Une histoire trépidante où l'on rencontre des inventeurs renommés : Charles Goodyear, John Dunlopp et Edouard et André Michelin.

De nos jours, le concept de sérendipité est valorisé dans l'entreprise : il s'agit d'une conjonction du hasard heureux qui permet à un collaborateur, un chercheur ou un manager de faire une découverte inattendue d'importance supérieure à son objectif initial Charles Goodyear a expérimenté avec succès la sérendipité : après de nombreux échecs, un coup de chance mérité va faire aboutir une innovation qui sera à l'origine de l'industrie du caoutchouc et de ses dérivés. Une industrie aujourd'hui dont la demande est supérieure à l'offre !  Pourtant, aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, Charles Goodyear n'est pas vraiment rentré dans l'Histoire... Pour quelles raisons ? Pourquoi est-il mort endetté et dans la misère ? Quelle leçon pouvons-nous tirer de son destin et de son histoire ? Comment promouvoir la sérendipité ? A vous de le découvrir dans cet épisode.

This episode of Clause 8 features an interview with Brian Pomper of the Innovation Alliance. Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, and Charles Goodyear are some of America’s best-known innovators. Instead of just making and selling the final products, they obtained patents and licensed their innovations to manufacturers. American companies like IBM, Qualcomm, and Dolby have followed this great American tradition of focusing on innovation. However, the patent troll narrative has undermined the idea that innovators should be incentivized and rewarded for their efforts. A string of Supreme Court decisions and the passage of the American Invents Act were part of an effort to deal with the so-called “patent troll” problem. Around the time that the AIA was being debated in Congress, a diverse group of technology companies that focus on research and development formed the Innovation Alliance to educate DC policymakers. And, Brian – a registered patent attorney who worked for several years on Capitol Hill - became the executive director of Innovation Alliance shortly after it was started. During this episode, Brian discusses: • working in Congress and how he became the head of The Innovation Alliance; • the #1 way to improve the patent system; • what unites the Innovation Alliance; • how the Innovation Alliance tried to improve the AIA; • the Obama administration’s continued efforts to restrict patent rights; • how DC became more patent friendly; • the Senate IP subcommittee and why there’s still hope for legislative action to fix patent eligibility; • importance of having grassroots support for legislative efforts; • the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic is having on the patent policy debate and the Open Covid Pledge; and • much more!

Insight is that mental (or inward) activity by which the mind grasps the intelligible connections between things that previously had appeared merely disparate. This act of understanding “sees” a pattern in data, where “seeing” is only a metaphor from physical sight. The Transfiguration of Jesus is a grace-filled insight into life's meaning and purpose. The story of Charles Goodyear, the inventor of the vulcanization process is an example of how insight operates. Music by Russell Ronnebaum

In opposition to the world's indifference, I offer some words of thanks for the zealous innovators who came before I did.  In particular: Charles Goodyear, a man who endured perhaps as much as any innovator ever did on his way to triumph. Igor Sikorsky, a man who escaped the Communists and achieved his dream of creating the first mass-produced helicopter.

Après des années de recherches infructueuses, c’est une erreur de manipulation qui permet à l’Américain Charles Goodyear, au 19e siècle, de découvrir le procédé de vulcanisation du caoutchouc. Il arrive à stabiliser cette substance pour qu’elle reste malléable en toutes circonstances, qu’il fasse chaud ou froid, grâce au soufre et à une exposition étendue à une chaleur élevée.

The evolution of soccer has been dependent on the evolution of the ball used to play it. Charles Goodyear was one of history's greatest innovators. Sadly, he was also one of history's most tragic figures. His pursuit of vulcanizing rubber did not cease even thru unimaginable hardship. He lost his fortune and his family to give us the world we know today, and perhaps the most important thing he gave us was the leather soccer ball. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/footylosopher/message

Gummi er ikke bare gummi. Det er en indviklet struktur bestående af polymerer blandet med andre partikler. Selvom det snart er 200 år siden at Charles Goodyear opfandt vulkaniseringsprocessen og dermed lagde grunden til de gummidæk vi kender i dag, så har det indtil nu været en slags sort boks, hvad der foregår, når man mikser og opvarmer de forskellige ingredienser. Men takket være computermodeller og supercomputeren Abacus 2.0 begynder man nu at forstå, hvordan de enkelte molekyler i gummimaterialer opfører sig. Og det er noget der interesserer den tyske dækvirksomhed Continental. De har indgået et forskningssamarbejde med Carsten Svaneborg, lektor ved institut for fysik, kemi og farmaci på Syddansk Universitet, som er ekspert i computersimuleringer af polymermaterialer.

On this day in the year 1170, Thomas Becket was killed by supporters of King Henry II of England during a conflict over the rights of the Catholic Church in England. Here are some things you may not have known about Thomas Becket. He was born around the year 1120 in London. His father was a merchant and property owner originally from the Normandy region. He studied the trivium and quadrivium and then spent a year in Paris. His father soon suffered a financial setback and Becket was forced to get a job as a clerk. Eventually he worked for Theobald of Bec, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The archbishop sent Becket on missions to Rome and to study canon law in Bologna and Auxerre. In 1154, Becket was named Archdeacon of Canterbury along with other posts. He was appointed Lord Chancellor in 1155. After the death of Theobald of Bec, Becket was nominated to replace him as Archbishop. His election was confirmed in 1162. He was ordained a priest on June 2 1162 and was consecrated archbishop the next day. As archbishop he clashed with Henry II over the rights of the church, including the jurisdiction of secular courts over clergy. This disagreement escalated for two years until Henry called a meeting of bishops at Clarendon Palace. There, Henry demanded the church be subject to secular law. Becket refused at first, but eventually agreed to what became known as the Constitutions of Clarendon. Later that year, Becket tried to go to France without permission, which was prohibited by the Constitutions. Additionally, the king would ask him to account for his spending while he was chancellor. He was found guilty on both charges. Becket went in to exile in France for the better part of the next six years. In 1170, Henry’s son was crowned junior King of England by the Archbishop of York. This act infringed upon the right of the Archbishop of Canterbury to crown monarchs. This led the pope to allow Becket to threaten to censure England as punishment. This threat led Henry to negotiate with Becket. The two reached an agreement on July 22, 1170. Shortly before returning to England, Becket excommunicated the archbishop of York, the bishop of Salisbury and the bishop of London. The news of the excommunications enraged Henry, who is said to have exclaimed, “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” In answer to this question, four knights set off to confront Becket in Canterbury. Upon arrival, they demanded Becket account for his actions, which he refused. In response, the knights retrieved their weapons and killed Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. In 1173, Becket was canonized by Pope Alexander III. Our question, “The Canterbury Tales” is set during a journey to the shrine of Saint Thomas of Canterbury. Who wrote “The Canterbury Tales”? Today is Constitution Day in Ireland and Independence Day in Mongolia. It’s the birthday of inventor Charles Goodyear, who was born in 1800; British Prime Minister William Gladstone, who was born in 1809, and actress Mary Tyler Moore, who turns 80. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1987, the top song in the U.S. was “Faith” by George Michael. The No. 1 movie was “Three Men and a Baby,” while the novel “The Tommyknockers” by Stephen King topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.

Isoprenoid or terpene natural products, that seem to be made from isoprene (2-methylbutadiene), are formed by oligomerization of electrophilic isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). Latex, the polymer of IPP, became commercially important when Charles Goodyear, a New Haven native, discovered how to vulcanize rubber. Statistical mechanics explains such curious properties of rubber as contraction upon heating when tightly stretched. Specific chemical treatment confers useful properties on a wide variety of polymers, including hair, synthetic rubber, and plastics. The structure of copolymers demonstrates non-Hammond behavior and ionic character in the transition state for free-radical polymerization.

Das erste Gummi-Kondom war ein Nebenprodukt. Charles Goodyear hieß der Tüftler, der durch die Vulkanisation des Kautschuks für viele Dinge plötzlich ein neues, strapazierfähiges Material nutzbar machte. Das erste Qualitätssiegel für Kondome gab es erst viel später, am 26. Januar 1981.

This morning we're going to be looking at verses 18-23. "Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: The knowledge of God and of ourselves." I'll read that again: "Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: The knowledge of God and of ourselves." With these words, a French refugee, 27-year-old French refugee in the middle of the Protestant Reformation, began the Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin. And he's right. It's amazing that a 27-year-old can get it that right, but it is possible, especially one whose mind was so saturated with the Word of God. Now, this expression that I've given you talks of true and sound wisdom; that implies there is something the opposite, which we would call foolishness. The key to it all, therefore, is understanding God properly and understanding ourselves properly. We need to know God the way He really is, not some false understanding of God, not some idol. We need to know God truly. And not only that, but we need to know ourselves properly. And what is the source of this information? Where are we going to find it? I would contend in the Scripture alone. And I would say that Romans Chapters 1, 2, and 3, gives us as clear a view of both God and of ourselves, as we need in this age. We need to hear this message. There are going to be some things in these chapters that are difficult for us to hear. It shouldn't surprise us, because it's coming from outside in. It's coming from a supernatural source down to us, and therefore, it's going to be unusual. It's going to sound different. It's going to come with power, and it's going to transform the way we think about God and ourselves. As we look at God, we have the tendency to construct God the way we like Him. What would you call it, if somebody puts God together out of the construct of their own imagination, puts God together, and then worships what they put together? What's that called? Idolatry. Idolatry. And the Book of Romans was given to sweep away idols, to give a true and right perception of God. And what is it called when we look at ourselves, and we deal very lightly with our own transgressions, lightly with our own sin, but deal in the worst possible way with the sins of others? That's pride. That's pride. Well, this Scripture sweeps both away. Now, as we go into the last half of Romans Chapter 1, and then into Chapter 2, and Chapter 3, culminating with a verse that all of you know, Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned..." And you'll understand it this way, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." I have a different translation, "For all have sinned and lack the glory of God." You know that verse, but there's an awful lot of verses that lead up to it. There's a whole discussion of who we really are, and we need to hear it, so that we understand God properly, and we understand ourselves. But as we move into this section, it's amazing. There's a danger here of self-righteousness. It really is shocking what our minds, our souls can do to Scripture. We see described here in the first half of this section, idolatry. And then, in the second half, we see described homosexuality. We say, "I'm not an idolater and I'm not a homosexual, therefore, I'm free." You have to see yourself in Romans 1 and you will, when we get done, when there's a list of 21 sins at the end of Chapter 1, and gossip and slander is right next to murder. You'll see yourself, I hope. We're all in here. We must not twist the truth that comes to us. We must not let ourselves get off the hook. We're on a hook. I want to know about it. I want to know what kind of hook it is. And I want Scripture to show me the way out. I want to understand truly. We are not to be self-righteous. You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else. For at whatever point you judge the other, you're condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. And so it is as we begin this section, which is a diagnosis of the human heart in its natural state apart from Jesus Christ. I'm going to begin this morning at verse 16, although our discussion begins at Verse 18, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the Gospel, righteousness from God is revealed, the righteousness, that is, by faith, from first to last. Just as it is written, the righteous will live by faith. For the wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the Godlessness and wickedness of men, who suppressed the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them. Because God has made it plain to them, for since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For, although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God, nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man, and birds, and animals, and reptiles." I. Review: The Gospel is the Power of God for Salvation Now, verse 16, Paul describes the Gospel of God as, "The power for the salvation of everyone who believes." We've talked about this for two weeks; the Gospel is powerful, isn't it? The hearing of this message can transform someone from being an object of wrath, under the judgment of God, to being an object of grace, seeing God face to face in Heaven. That's a powerful message. It's an incredible message and the Gospel is that message. Last week, we talked about why it is the power of God. It is the power of God, because in the Gospel, there is a righteousness from God, which He holds out to us as a garment to put on and it will shield you. It will cover you on judgment day; it is the only garment that will. There is no other righteousness which will cover us on judgment day. The beauty, the joy of the Gospel, is that the very righteousness that God will demand from us on judgment day, He provides us freely, if we will just believe the message. That's incredible. Now, verses 16-17 lead into verse 18. In some translations, there isn't the little connective words that we need, like in the NIV. They leave out the word 'for' at the beginning of verse 18, but there is a connection: "The righteous will live by faith, for the wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the Godlessness and wickedness of men." There is a need for this righteousness, because the wrath of God is coming. Last week, I talked about this to some degree. I said that, "The righteousness of God is both our greatest threat and our only salvation," you remember that? The righteousness of God threatens us, because there is no one righteous, not even one. We are not righteous in ourselves, and therefore, we are threatened on judgment day. It's a great threat and it took a great salvation to save us from it, didn't it? Jesus dying on the cross, pouring out His life, His blood, so that we might avert the wrath of God, that we might survive judgment day. And so there's a direct connection between the phrases. The righteous will live by faith, for the wrath of God is being revealed. The only way you're going to survive the wrath of God is this Gospel message. It's the only salvation. It's the only way. II. The Wrath of God: God’s Passionate Response to Evil Now, as we come to this topic of the wrath of God, we come to that, which is a very unpopular topic, very unpopular, and I risk the danger of being called a "hellfire and brimstone" preacher. Frankly, I've never heard such. I've heard of them, but I've never actually heard that kind of a sermon. I think preachers have been intimidated out of it. Well, I'm not going to preach a "hellfire and brimstone" sermon, in that there's no hellfire and brimstone, actually, in these verses, but I am going to preach the wrath of God. The wrath of God is here and there is a coming wrath that we should be afraid of, we should flee from it. And it is my purpose today, that you be as afraid of it as God means for you to be. That's my desire. We trifle with the things of God. We think lightly of them. And it's a pleasure to hear a preacher that tells stories and does other things that are entertaining, but that's not my purpose today. My purpose is to bring your minds into that which is weighty, and heavy, and serious, that you may take it seriously. It may be that there's somebody in this room who will look back on this day and thank God for it on judgment day, because they dealt properly with the wrath of God. What is the wrath of God? You know, there was an ideal picture of God in the Greek world, that God was a dispassionate... That means unfeeling, unemotional, thinking machine. That's what God was to the Greeks, the purest, highest ideal of God, that He was a thinking, logical machine, no passion at all, no feeling. I don't know why they came to that conclusion, except that they saw the damage of human emotion, specifically human anger, human lust, and desire. They said, "Well, none of that can be part of God." But they never stopped to think that all of those things in us are actually twisted perversions, because of sin, but they have a reflection in the personality of God. Our God is a passionate being, is He not? Oh, He's an emotional being. He is passionate. You look at it and you see all the different ways that God reveals His passion. He rejoices. He rejoices. He is grieved. Grief is a strongly emotional state, isn't it? He is grieved at sin. He laughs at rebellion, Psalm 2. He is compassionate. Our God is a compassionate being. What does compassionate mean? It means to link your passion with somebody else's passion. It means to rejoice with those who rejoice, to mourn with those who mourn. God does that. Why do you think Jesus wept at Lazarus's tomb? Why did He cry? Because He was compassionate to those who are going to weep at many such tombs throughout all history. He feels it. He's a compassionate being. Therefore, He's a passionate being, isn't He? He's an emotional being and that includes anger. Now, this is uncomfortable for us, because human anger is so often polluted. It's an evil thing. If you were to take a survey of your own anger, just keep track of it over the next two months, and draw it back with, as best as you can, an honest assessment, and say, "Why did I get angry there?" You'll find self at the root of much of it, if not all. "This person has inconvenienced me. They have put me out. They have insulted my pride, and therefore, I'm angry." That's not God's way of being angry. God is angry, because of love. Understand this. Understand this. And God does not just love people. He loves righteousness. He loves holiness. He loves what is good and pure. We think, "Oh, God's love and His wrath are mutually exclusive." No, God's love is more than just to people. He loves holiness. He loves what is good and right. And therefore, He has a passionate response to what is evil. He hates it, absolutely. God's wrath is His passionate response to what is evil and what is unrighteous. The problem for us, is that we are evil and unrighteous. And therefore, naturally, apart from the salvation that Jesus gives, we are under the wrath of God. He is angry with us. He's angry with sin. Is that not what it's saying here? "The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the Godlessness and wickedness of men," of people, people. The wrath of God is directed toward individuals. And so, if we are not in Christ, we're under wrath, it's just that simple. John 3:36 says that whoever believes in the Son comes out from under the wrath of God. We come out from under it. Now, Romans 1:18 says that, "The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven." It's presently being revealed. This is a very deep idea. What comes in the next number of verses, from 18-32, is a pouring out of all kinds of evil: Idolatry, homosexuality, a list of 21 evils and sins at the end of this chapter. And all of this is evidence of the wrath of God, and we'll understand that more. It's not just that which produces the wrath of God, it is actually the result of the wrath of God. He sees that we harden our hearts, He sees that we sin, and He gives us over to drown in whatever swamp we choose; that's the wrath of God. It's presently being revealed. And how is it revealed? It is revealed in the evils of this life, in sickness, in poverty, in suffering, family break-ups. It's also revealed in being given over to sin, addictions, perversions, all of this evidence of the wrath of God. It's revealed in death, for death is the righteous punishment of God for sin. More than anything, it is being revealed in this Gospel message. When you get done today, you'll understand the holy and righteous response of God to sin more clearly. Why? Because He told us about it in Romans, in the Gospel. The wrath of God is revealed in the Gospel message. Do you understand that, in the cross, the love of God for sinners and the wrath of God against sin come together? They're both there in the cross, both the love of God, the compassion of God for sinners like you and me, and the love He has for righteousness, which the flip side is the wrath of God against both, come together in the cross, revealed in the Gospel message. But the Gospel message also speaks of a future wrath, doesn't it? There is a wrath to come. The wrath of God is presently revealed and there is a wrath which will come in the future. Matthew 3:7 and John the Baptist talked about this: "When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them, 'You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath'"? Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? For such, you should be doing. I'm just wondering who warned you to do it? There is a coming wrath. And the only way to escape this coming wrath, the only way, is repentance, and faith in Jesus Christ; there is no other way. Suppose you were in the Middle Ages, and you were in a city, a walled city, and an enemy had surrounded the walls, and it looked like they were going to win. They were going to conquer the city. It wouldn't be long before they were running through the streets of your city. And suppose someone came to you with a sense of urgency, and said, "I have a way out, a way of escape to get out of this city, which is about to fall. Will you come or not? It's a tunnel. They haven't found it yet. It'll bring us up to those hills up there. Will you come?" Imagine a person who would stand there and say, "Well, why aren't there two escapes? Why aren't there two? I'd like to choose from one or the other. I don't want the one you're offering. I'd like another one. Why aren't there 10, as a matter of fact?" Would you do that? You would say, "Show me the door. I want to go. I want to escape." And so they run for that one door. And so it is with salvation. There is a way of escape from the wrath of God. You must flee to that way. That way is Jesus Christ. It says in Romans 5:9, "Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more will we be saved from God's wrath through Him?" That is future tense. I don't mean to give you an English lesson, but 'will' or 'shall' leads to the future tense. There is a wrath to come. There is a judgment to come. And if you'll have faith in Christ now, are justified through faith in His blood, you will be saved on that future day. And that is a great, and an awesome day. I can't even describe it to you, when all nations will be gathered before that throne, and He will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And where will you stand on that day? What will save you on that day? The Blood of Jesus Christ alone. And will you quibble, and say, "Why weren't there two or three ways of escape?" He will say, "You heard, you knew. You knew." There is a salvation from the wrath to come. And you can say, "There is no wrath to come." You can say that. But God has said, "There is a wrath to come." And it will come. First Thessalonians 1:10, it says that, "Jesus rescues us from the coming wrath." Is that sweet for you, as a believer? It should be. "Jesus rescues us from the wrath to come." He is our salvation. III. The Cause of Wrath: Wicked Suppression of Truth Resulting in Failure to Worship Now, in this verse, what is the cause of the wrath of God? I say it is the wicked suppression of truth, resulting in a failure to worship. A wicked suppressing of truth, resulting in a failure to worship. Now, there are steps to the argument that Paul brings us through. What I'm going to do, is I'm going to go to the conclusion and I'm going to work back. The conclusion is that all people are without excuse and deserve the wrath of God. That is his conclusion. All people are without excuse and they deserve the wrath of God. Step back from that. Why? Why do they deserve the wrath of God? Because they do not glorify God, nor do they give Him thanks. That's why. Alright, then, Paul, why are they without excuse? That's why they deserve wrath. Why are they without excuse? They are without excuse, because it is not from an ignorance, an innocent ignorance of God, but in spite of sufficient knowledge about God, which is available to us. One step back from that, God has made it available to us. He has made it plain to us. Those are the steps of his reasoning. Let's work from the front then. It says, "The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men, who suppress the truth by their wickedness." Suppress the truth. I get the image of one of those low budget Japanese invasion movies, and there are these hideous monsters in the subterranean parts of the city, and they want to push up through the sewer hole covers, the manhole covers, and pop up, and take over the city. And there are some people who are running around trying to push this hideous thing back down under the ground, so that it would not come up and trouble us. That's the way they look at the truth of God. That's the way they look at it. They are suppressing it, pushing it down, as though it were something horrible, which is pushing itself up into their minds. And that makes God angry, that His person, His truth, His character is dealt with that way. That's what makes Him angry. Now, We suppress the truth it says, "In unrighteousness." Do you know that no infant comes into the world with a loyalty to the truth? Think of it this way: Have you ever met an infant with loyalty to truth? What does an infant come into the world with loyalty to? Me. Right? Me! An infant comes in the world with a tremendous loyalty to me. You have to learn loyalty to truth, don't you? And so, once the truth comes in, we begin to suppress it, we begin to twist it, push it in unrighteousness. We become what's called, in the political parlance these days, spin doctors. What is a spin doctor? Have you ever watched a political debate on television, and after it's over, there are these professional people who sit down in their suits? And they sit down, and they tell you what to think. Have you noticed that? They tell you, "Well, you know, when he said this, it didn't mean what it seemed to mean. What it meant was this, and that, and therefore, it fits into his whole plan that he's been explaining now for the... " Oh, on and on. This is spin doctoring, is what it is. It's twisting the truth, rearranging it, so that we think of it a different way. We're all spin doctors, every one of us. When the truth of God comes in, we begin to twist it, rearrange it, adjust it, so it fits where we are, and that's called suppression. We're suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. Well, what truth are we suppressing? Verse 19 says, "Since what may be known about God is plain to them." It's a truth about God that's being suppressed. Well, what truth about God? Romans 11:36 says, "For from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him, be glory forever and ever. Amen." Well, there's some truths in there that could be suppressed. God the creator, from Him are all things. God the creator: I was made by Him; He made me. God the commander. God the commander: He has authority over me and can tell me what to do. God the sustainer: Everything I need for life, and breath, and health, and everything, comes from Him. I'm on a welfare state situation here. I'm dependent on Him for everything. And then, finally, God the judge: God gives me this freedom to make decisions, and in the end, He's going to judge me for them; He's going to assess me on this thing called judgment day. I don't think I like any of that. It's very uncomfortable to me. God the creator, God the commander, God the sustainer, God the judge. Suppress. Twist. Push. I don't want it. I don't want it. Well, how is it we know about this? In Verse 19-20, it's God's self-revelation, "Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." "What has been made," the Greek word for that is 'poiema.' 'Poiema,' what English word do you hear in that? 'Poem.' What surrounds you is a poem. Think about that. A poem of creation surrounds you, a poem of the character of God. It doesn't just surround you, it surrounds stone age tribes in Irian Jaya too. It surrounds everybody. A poem about God, what He has made. Now, there is a long history of the argument of the existence of God from creation. Long history: Medieval scholars Thomas Aquinas, Peter Lombard, and others, came up with proofs of the existence of God that were very neat, and very clean, and very logical. I'm not going to bring you through them, but then came a brilliant man, Immanuel Kant, who just shredded them. Just shredded them and showed that they weren't worth their paper they were printed on. Very interesting. Well, Immanuel Kant did prove that the existence of God is not logically inescapable. There is a way out, logically. But it is morally inexcusable to take that way. Do you see what I'm saying? We know there is a God. We know it. We can do little games. We can turn little twists of the phrase. We can be Immanuel Kant, be amazed at our logic and shred arguments, but in the end, everyday, we get up, we look around, we know inside there is a God, and we suppress that truth. We don't want it, but it's there; we can't get rid of it. And no one will be able to say on judgment day, "It never entered my mind that you existed. I never even thought that you could have been here. It never occurred to me." No one will say that on judgment day. They knew. Well, how do we see it from creation? We see God's immensity in the Heavens. We see God's consistency in the regularity of the sun and the physical laws that are around us. We see God's love and His daily provision for us. We see God's power in so many ways, whether a thunder and lightning storm, or an earthquake, a hurricane; we see His power. We see God's inscrutability from the mysteries of the atom. There are things that He will never tell us about this creation. And we see God's wisdom in our own bodies, fearfully, and wonderfully made. We see these things. The invisible qualities of God, they are there. We should all of us, as I said in my series in Genesis, be scientist worshippers, not worshipers of science. No, scientist worshipers. We study things and say, "Oh, what a great God you are. What an awesome God you are." I was in the middle of writing this sermon, and I took a break, and I reached back for a magazine with lots of pictures in it. I like pictures when I need a break. So I was reading this and it was, I've talked about it before, the hundred greatest men and the hundred most significant events of the last thousand years. And one of them, the picture was of a pile, a huge pile of old tires. Old tires. And I thought, "What is this?" And the event was the discovery of vulcanized rubber by Charles Goodyear. Now, you've heard of Goodyear tires and all that. Well, this is what Charles Goodyear said. I was just taking a break from this sermon. God wouldn't let me take a break. Charles Goodyear, this is what Charles Goodyear said about rubber. This is a quote from Goodyear on rubber, "Who can examine it and not glorify God?" Isn't that amazing? I said, "Lord, that's going to be in my sermon! Who can examine it and not glorify God? It stretches, you can do things with it, it's incredible. Praise you, God. Praise you. Be a biologist or a physicist worshipper of God, because God made it. But yet, in science today, there's a great suppression going on. Did you know it? A pushing down of the truth. "We don't want it. There's no research dollars in it, no grant money in it, so we're going to suppress it, we're going to push it back." Darwin's theories, evolution, natural selection, time plus chance, billions and billions of years, that's where it all comes from. Now, listen to these quotes. And as I read these quotes, tell me if you can think of suppression of truth when I read them. Richard Dawkins, who is a leader of Darwinian thought today, says this. Listen to this, it's incredible, "Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose." That's an interesting definition of biology: "Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose." Francis Crick, Watson and Crick, the DNA double helix structure, won a Nobel Prize. Francis Crick says this, "Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved." Why do they have to constantly keep that in mind? Because there's so much evidence to the contrary. They see it in the lab, they see it day after day, the closer they look, it's there. And they have to suppress it, they have to push it away. Michael Behe, in his book Darwin's Black Box, talks about the bacterial flagellum, of which you have a picture in your little... Do you see it? You wonder what this was? "What in the world does this have to do with Romans?" Well, I can't understand all this. All I know is that this is living. Everything you see here, this is not the structure of some kind of motor in a new boat that is being made for recreation or whatever, this is a living thing. Cells arranged looking like a motor, looking like an O-ring, looking like the stator of a motor and the rotor of a motor. This is the flagellum of a bacteria. And we must constantly keep in mind that what we see, though it gives the appearance of having been designed for a purpose, was evolved. Do you see this? Suppression. Suppression. But it's not just scientists who do it. We do it everyday in our hearts. We do it morally. We resist the truth of God. We don't want Him in our kitchen, we don't want Him at our dinner table, we don't want Him in our bedroom, we don't want Him when we're on the internet, we don't want Him in the way we live our lives. We don't want Him here. And so we push the truth out. We suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Verse 21 says... This is what we should have been doing... "Although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God, nor gave thanks to Him." That's what we should be doing. We should be glorifying God and giving thanks to Him for what He's made, but we don't do it. "And then their thinking, they became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened." To glorify God means to prize Him above all things. "For the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." To prize Him as having created, and it's glorious, and to give thanks to Him. Giving thanks is a form of worship, "Thank you, God, for my life. Thank you for my food. Thank you for everything; it comes from you. I praise you God, by giving you thanks." That's what we should have done, but we don't like it. We're on welfare. We don't want to receive this way all the time, and so we resist. And not only that, but there is a drive inside us to worship, isn't there? There is a drive and we can't deny it, so we're going to worship something. And what is it we're going to worship, if we suppress the truth? We're going to worship an idol. We're going to make a new God, one that fits the way we like it. We're going to make the first dark exchange: Idolatry. IV. Result of Failed Worship: The First Dark Exchange… IDOLATRY The end of all this, folks, is not atheism. It isn't; it's idolatry, worshipping a created thing. We will worship something. God gave us our minds, our thinking ability for worship, for worship. That's why He gave us the ability to think. That's why we honor and glorify God more than anything else that's created around us, because we can think. And once that thinking becomes perverted, because of this dark exchange, we exchange the glory of God for something created. Oh, what a loss! Our thinking becomes twisted. We become lower in our thinking. Perfect example of this is Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel Chapter Four, a great story. Just read it with my kids the other day. One day, Nebuchadnezzar is walking, taking a tour, looking out over Babylon, and this is what he said, "Is this not the great Babylon, which I have created as my royal palace, for the display of my majesty and glory?" Don't you want to be sick as you listen to that? "Look what I've made. Isn't it great?" This is worship, folks. It is worship. Nebuchadnezzar was having a worship experience, but he was worshipping himself. And at that moment, a voice came from Heaven, "Judgment." But gracious judgment, seven years, his mind would be changed to that of an animal, and he would live outside day and night, and be drenched with the dew of Heaven, and his hair would grow long like an animal's. And his fingers would grow long like an animal's, and he would eat grass like an animal. He would be in his mind an animal, because he was not using his thinking for what it was created to do. And at the end of the seven years, his eyes looked up to Heaven, and his sanity was restored. What did that look mean? That was worship, folks. It was worship. He looked up to Heaven and gave glory to his Creator. And God restored his thinking to him. That's a picture of salvation. You look up to Heaven and you say, "You're my God. I worship you." And your thinking gets restored. It's no longer dark and feudal, the way it used to be. Now, in this dark exchange, in verse 22, it says, "Although they claim to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man, and birds, and animals, and reptiles." Verse 25 says, "They worshipped and served created things more than the Creator, who is forever praised." And what's the number one thing that we worship? Me! We worship me and things like me. That's what we do. And so we'll even make a physical representation. Now, perhaps I'm not speaking to anyone who's actually taken that step, to make a physical representation of the new God you want to worship, making an idol. They used to do it. I've been to a country where they did it all the time, Japan. I've described this to you before, about the little girl, remember, at the corner of the street? There was a stone shrine there and she was putting a candy bar next to this little stone thing. And I said to the missionary who's with me, I said, "What is she doing?" And he said, "She is asking that god for help in her test, because he's on this corner and the school is in this block. This is the god of this block and she's asking for help on the test." Oh, it's grievous. Do you think she really believed in it? Probably, she did. She really believed that that god would help her. Now, we live in a modern society and culture. We don't do that kind of thing, do we? We don't do what's described here in Isaiah 44, "The blacksmith takes a tool and works at it with the coals. He shapes an idol with hammers, forges it with the might of his arm. The carpenter measures with the line and makes an outline with a marker. He roughs it out with chisels, marks it with compasses, shapes it in the form of a man, of man and all his glory," says Isaiah. "Of man and all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine. He fashions a god and worships it. He makes an idol and bows down to it. He prays to it and says, 'Save me. You are my God. '" But you know something? The issue here is not so much the physical representation. There's a danger to that, because when you make a physical representation, it begins to shape your thinking. There's a circular effect. You pour your adoration on it and looking at it, it affects the way you think about God. But even before that, what happens is, first, there's an idea about God in the mind, isn't there? A thinking about God, and out of that, comes the creativity to make the idol. That thinking is going on in America today. It's going on, perhaps, in this room today. "I tend to think of God this way." "I'm uncomfortable with this sermon. I never think of God as a wrathful being. I like to think of Him as a loving God, who deals gently and patiently." Do you know what you're doing? When you do that, do you know what you're doing? You're making an idol. You just haven't taken the next step to go buy the materials. You haven't bought your gold, or your silver, or your wood, or your stone, but you're making an idol. You're supposed to receive by revelation what God is like and believe it, that's all. Let Him tell you what He's like. Now, people who do these things think of themselves as wise. It's a wise thing to put your God together, isn't it? Think of the benefits. And eliminate all of the things that are uncomfortable, put in some things you like, it's a good deal. And not only that, once you start getting a sensual worship around it, that feeds your natural proclivities, that's a good deal. Do you ever wonder why Israel constantly was getting dragged into idolatry? "What is the deal about idolatry? I don't understand it." Well, there's a whole system and it's described here; it's a pulling in to the sensual. But the tragic, tragic central issue, is that exchange, the exchange of the glory of God for something created. The Hebrew word for 'idol,' 'idols,' is 'nothings,' 'nothings.' That's Isaiah's word. They traded the great "I Am" for the "I am not." They exchanged it. And Paul uses strange language here. It says, "They exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, literally, for an image of a likeness of corruptible man." Why the double language? Why the image of a likeness of corruptible man? It's the idea of distance, distance from God. Image of an idol of the image of God. Well, aren't we created in the image of God? So we're three steps removed from the true God with the idol. Now, Isaiah already told us what we are. What is our glory? All our glory? "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flower of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall." That's our glory. This exchange is foolishness. And I understand Romans 3:23 that way, "For all have sinned and lack the glory of God." Do you know why we lack it? We traded it. We gave it away for nothing. We traded it for something created, and now, we don't have it anymore. I want you to crave it. I want you to want it back. I want you to go to God and say, "Give it back to me. I want the glory of God where it belongs, in the center of my being. I was created for your glory. I was created to worship you. Give me the glory back." V. Summary, Remedy, Application We began this morning by this one statement: "Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: The knowledge of God and of ourselves." Well, we've begun to find out about both, haven't we? Our God is a Holy God, and He has a great wrath against sin and evil. It is Scriptural. And if we take that, and twist it, we have done the very thing this passage says that we do. We take the truth of God, and twist it for a lie, and worship something else. And so we've learned about ourselves too. We are, naturally, truth suppressors, truth twisters, and we need to be saved from all of that. The cause of the wrath of God is that God has made himself evident in creation. Therefore, we have enough knowledge about God to glorify Him and thank Him. We know enough. We do, but we suppress this truth in unrighteousness. Therefore, we refuse to glorify Him and thank Him, rather we make idols. Whether we make a physical idol or a mental idol, we make idols and we worship them. And therefore, we will have no excuse on judgment day. That is what Paul is saying. That is what God is saying. Is there a remedy? Well, we began with a remedy, remember? "I'm not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the Gospel, a righteousness from God is revealed." It's held out just as it is written, "The righteous will live by faith, for the wrath of God is being revealed." Righteousness or wrath, folks. You're going to get one or the other from the God of the Gospel. You're either going to get the righteousness of God or you're going to get the wrath of God; there is no third choice. Receive the righteousness of God and flee the wrath to come. This is a free gift, simple faith. As we apply this, I guess, I want to begin by talking about your self-knowledge. What do you know about yourself? Are you basically a good person? Basically a good person? Is that what Scripture says? All of us, myself included, we're truth twisters and evaders. We're not basically a good person. We're basically idolaters who need to be saved. Andre Agassi tells us that, "Image is everything." Is image everything? No. The glory of God is everything. The glory of God is everything. John Piper, in talking about this, said, "You know, when you go out there into the workplace, or at a college campus, and somebody says to you something like, 'Image is everything,' I would recommend that, at that moment, you say, 'No, I don't think so.' And they'll look at you. And say, 'No, I think the glory of God is everything.' What look do you think will be on their face when you say that?" And what Piper did with his congregation, I'll do with you. Go out and get a look this week. Go get a look. Go challenge this idolatrous culture we live in with the truth of God, that the glory of God is everything. Don't make an idol. Don't say, "I like to think of God this way," or, "I could never think of a God who would do that," which is revealed in Scripture. Don't be an idolater. Allow God to teach you who He is. And there's another kind of idolatry, too, isn't there? Greed. Greed. Materialism. Materialism. I got a Fortune magazine, didn't buy it, but it was loaned to me. And I looked through, and I saw some ads for Omega watches. Omega watches: "The world is not enough," is what it said. "The world is not enough." For what? "To satisfy me. It's not enough. I want it all. I want it all." Or a Cessna Citation X business jet can travel 600 miles an hour. I wonder how much that costs? An Acura RL luxury sedan, I don't need to wonder how much this costs, it's told me in the ad, starting at $42,000. Starting at $42,000! My parent's first house was $19,600. Starting at $42,000. Ashford.com, "Irresistible watches, pens, jewelry, fragrance, leather goods, just a click away." This is their quote, "All the stuff you really, really want." All the stuff you really, really want! What is that wanting? Well, let's unpack the wanting a bit. It gets close to idolatry. Maybe, in some cases, it is idolatry. Colossians 3:5, "Put to death greed, which is idolatry, and flee the wrath to come." Colossians 3:6, "Because of these, the wrath of God is coming." Flee from it, flee. Take it seriously. If you don't know whether you are under the wrath of God today or not, will you please come and talk to me after the service? Will you please make it a top, first priority? Say, "I don't know. I believe what you said, that the wrath is coming. I don't disagree with God, I just don't know where I am." Come and talk to me. Jesus provides a way of escape. He finally exchanged the darkness of sin for God's glory. "For all have sinned and lack the glory of God." Second Corinthians 4:6, "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts, to give us the light of the glory of God in the face of Christ." He can create the light inside; you can put the glory back. Jesus can. Jesus died on the cross to take away the wrath of God, and to give you a glory at the center of your being, to what you are created for, to turn you into a worshiper in Spirit, and in truth. Ask Him for it today. Please join me in prayer.
