As part of my ongoing and lengthy series of articles debunking various jewish ‘achievements’ via looking at the history of the jewish invention myths that underlie them. I have found a great many instances where a grain of truth is mixed in with a much larger falsehood – incidentally what Adolf Hitler was talking about ‘Mein Kampf’ when he famously described the jewish rhetorical tactic know as the ‘Big Lie’ – and another such example of this is the claim that jews invented the television.
As usual ‘MNews’ helpfully details the claim:
‘Boris Rosing – Television
Even though nearly all the people on the planet have been using the invention of Boris Rosing, his name is known to few. And yet the professor at St. Petersburg Institute of Technology was the first to create and introduce the first electronic television to the world back in 1911.’ (1)
The problem as usual is that this simply isn’t true.
The technology behind electronic (not mechanical) television – the cathode-ray tube – was conceived of by English physicist Sir Joseph John Thomson in 1897 and around the same time German physicist Karl Friedrich Braun created the first cathode-ray tube that came to be known as the ‘Braun tube’.
Braun himself envisioned using the Braun tube to use his cathode-ray tube as a display device aka television. (2) Braun wasn’t the only one to realise this possibility however (3) and in 1906 Braun’s fellow Germans Max Dieckmann and Gustav Glage produced raster images using a Braun tube and successfully patented their method of doing so (aka television). (4)
Raster images are the physical basis from which television images are constructed (5) and had been produced on mechanical televisions since at least the 1890s. (6) In essence raster images are television in the same way that Boolean data type is computer programming.
What Boris Rosing ‘invented’ in St. Petersburg in 1907 was a way to use a Braun tube to form a more coherent picture based upon raster images which he patented on 25th July 1907 in Russia (7) and was awarded another patent on an improved version of the same concept on 2nd March 1911. (8)
So, no Boris Rosing didn’t invent the electronic television: Karl Friedrich Braun came up with the theory behind electronic television then Max Dieckmann and Gustav Glage made Braun’s vision a reality for the first time.
