Espectacular!
@MAHI-fo5sr Says:
Nah bro, Hedy Lamarr didn't invent WiFi 😂
She (with some dude) patented frequency hopping in '42 for torpedoes, super cool & helped inspire Bluetooth & spread-spectrum stuff.
But actual WiFi? 1990s engineers + Aussie CSIRO team.
"Queen of WiFi" is a fun myth, not facts. Respect the legend tho 🔥
@smileysatanson3404 Says:
Not to be confused with Headly
@paulillichmann2552 Says:
It’s Hedley 😆😂
@joshuagrover795 Says:
Personally, the sad fact of what seems to be common of many folks in the entertainment industry is that Hedy Lamarr was married throughout her life six times and six times. Hedy divorced. Hedy Lamarr, for such a capable and incredibly beautiful intelligent woman, she couldn't ever find ever lasting happiness in loving relationships. RIP
Samson and Delilah (1949) brilliant film, encapsulating and fantastic Hedy Lamarr character and her sadness at betraying Samson.
Hedy Lamarr's comments on her beauty is personally truely sad because she was an intelligent and beautiful person who's looks brought her fame but also pain. But even with plastic surgery I wouldn't call Hedy "ugly."
@BeverlyBanks-l5d Says:
I love her
@scottcarroll9201 Says:
She did not invent frequency hopping (that was invented before she was even born). What she did was CO-invent an unwieldy device for randomizing radio signals, punching out the signals on a paper roll, similar to a player piano. Her device employed frequency hopping (which, as we established, was a technique invented before she was born).
The device was completely unworkable due to its size and was rejected by the US Navy. WiFi and the internet do not even use frequerncy hopping. Blue Tooth uses frequency hopping. But, again, she didn't invent frequency hopping.
These are all FACTS. This myth abouut her being some brilliant scientist has grown to absurd proportions. She was an amateur inventor who filed one patent for a device that used a technique that she did not invent.
@meghanavs1 Says:
This video got me tears and understanding how this world works. She is a beautiful woman with beautiful heart and soul. It’s not her face that needed surgery. It’s the unintelligent, mentally ill society, self-centered world that needed right tools to do the surgery on them. May your soul rest in peace ma’am.❤
@manuelodabashian1089 Says:
But is wi-fi good? Especially now. I once photographed a model looking just like her even better looking

You ever read a title and go "Aint no fxckin way..." ?
@ronheflin9767 Says:
The expression Dumb Blonde, really makes sense now...
@dougscott8161 Says:
You need to keep a closer eye on the printed narrative, Heddy name always shows up as Eddie and I believe there are numerous other errors also. If you are going to try to influence your audience, you at least have to give the appearance of having at least a modicum of knowledge about the subject you are trying to present!
@thomasjones4570 Says:
This may have been one of the worst videos I have seen about this woman. Trivializing her inventions in such a way and giving more detail to minor events in her life.
You would think a person inventing what leads to WiFi and Bluetooth alone would be worth more than a 15 second explanation...her list of inventions is vast.
@Baskerville22 Says:
Her 'invention' was rejected by the Navy and came to nothing.
@steamer1112 Says:
So, this isn't about that character played by Harvey Korman, Hedley Lamarr?
@spaghettiqueen230 Says:
beauty is so subjective. You think she's the most beautiful girl in the world, and I think she looks like Sandra Bullock's ugly sister. To each their own.
@mrprettyboyishurr Says:
The most beautiful woman gave us WiFi? That’s a phenomenal gift besides her other ones
@morecowbell235 Says:
She did not invent WiFi.
In the 1940s, her and the composer George Antheil came up with a mechanical device that could change frequencies. The presumed use was to disable Nazi ability to jam signals related to a torpedo They got a patent for it, but it was never used. The technology itself is fundamentally different than anything used decades later - including WiFi and GPS.
@terriblegamers8981 Says:
She didn’t invent wifi, she invented radio frequency hopping, which isn’t wifi. Why this channel spreading lies?
@MrMrchatcity Says:
Its Hedley. Hedley Lamarr.
@tiberius-f7t Says:
I’m not sure that her patent was ever proved to have actually worked as theorized so maybe Myth Busters can demonstrate the electro-mechanical device in actual usage. Patents do not have to be a viable proved device for a patent to be obtained. Also the reason for Heddy inventing her device is puzzling since early 1940s US torpedos were Line Of Sight launched and either impact or magnetic detonated, not radio controlled.
@arnepianocanada Says:
Not that it was too cumbersome, but she was too beautiful and a woman... THAT is why US Army did not accept her and George's invention (cumbersome!? Look at decoding machines!)
@sirrom5155 Says:
nice story. it's vital that we artificially empower and buoy women historically in Western society, above and beyond...lionize them... so that we may fundamentally weaken society in general. (vital for the elites to retain control). oh better watch what i say, before they cut off my bank account...or worse.
@gurk_the_magnificent9008 Says:
That’s Hedley!
@vicc7409 Says:
Sorry to see you are perpetuating the false story that Lamarr’s invention has anything to do with Wi-Fi, GPS and cellphones. That’s simply not true.
As you DO note, frequency hopping was invented long before (Tesla was the first to allude to it, but others long before Lamarr had described it and patented it). So Lamarr did not invent frequency hopping or spread spectrum communication.
What she and her co inventor invented was a way to synchronize the frequency order and timing. They used a technique similar to what is used on player pianos.
They were awarded a patent, but the system proved unworkable in practice. And the Navy never adopted it. They used frequency hopping, but as mentioned above, they did not invent that.
@VashTheDamnFiend Says:
Lol this is such bs. Give credit to Tesla

@pierrex3226 Says:
Patent games are some of the most disgusting aspects of the US economy. A friend of mine is a patent lawyer, the games that Amazon is playing with conveyor belt patents to prevent others from reaching the same levels of efficiency in parcel dispatch are maddening. Imagine the role model this woman could have been for young girls in society had she been compensated for her scientific work, instead of fading and becoming a freak show. It's heart breaking.

Wi-Fi is a Muslim invention by Dr Hatim Zaghool
It was stared by WiLAN 1991 in Calgary with Patents purchased from Hedy Lamarr
Dr Hatim even published his books in the 80s
Cisco and other companies pay for royalties to use these patents
Calgary also having the First Wi-Fi network in Calgary Launched by Calgary.
This video is clearly trying to rewrite history with its imperialism
@truth409 Says:
Bull sheeeet
@truth409 Says:
Hedy Lamarr did not, however, invent wifi or cellphones. Wifi as we know it was invented by John O’Sullivan, an Australian engineer while working at the Netherlands’ Dwingeloo Radio Observatory in 1977. No one person invented cellphones. The concept of hexogonal cells for mobile telephones was proposed by Douglas Ring and W. Rae Young at Bell Labs in 1947. Two decades later, Richard H. Frenkiel, Joel S. Engel and Philip T. Porter, also of Bell Labs, fleshed out the idea to include cell towers with directional attennas and many of the protocols now in use. It was Martin Cooper at Motorola, however, who was in charge of making the first handheld cellular telephone, which he used to call his rival at Bell, Joel Engel.

Might I suggest looking into the life of Anita Ekberg? She was most known for La Dolce Vita.

If a 12 year old girl was allowed to win a beauty contest now all the women would go into a rage.
And they would insist she give up her title and the pedophile judges be sent to prison.

Very interesting bad also sad story. I'll watch it again I think you did an awesome job talk a little too fast for me LOL
@MissJellybean Says:
Sometimes people don’t understand that beauty can be a hindrance, especially if you are intelligent. No one ever sees the intelligence they only ever see the beauty.
@sailorjerry3720 Says:
The ad reads really break up the program.
Perhaps a mention at the start and finish along with links in the description would be sufficient.
The irony of a history channel following in the footsteps which led to the fall of network television and the rise of cable and the very platform you're enjoying now is astounding.

Soooo how did she give us wifi again I had to miss it. I was waiting the whole show to hear it but never did.
