If you've ever read an academic publication, or like, I think they do textbooks too, you have seen Springer on a publication. I can picture the logo. Yeah, yeah. And this is that company, right?

And he gets to know the owner of the company, an elderly man named Ferdinand Springer, quite well. Now, pre-war, Springer had been the world's largest publisher of scientific literature, because Germany had been the scientific center of the planet in many ways prior to Hitler's rise to power.

Aber sobald der Krieg begann, ging die Wissenschaft weiter, weil die Nazis natĂŒrlich noch die Wissenschaft finanzierten, aber Deutschland war ein Pariastate. Und sie haben also nichts fĂŒr den Rest der Welt veröffentlicht. Und so werden BĂŒcher immer noch geschrieben, die ganze Geschichte von all diesen wissenschaftlichen Erfolgen, die wĂ€hrend der Nazi-Periode gemacht wurden.

And they were just building up in a warehouse that Springer had, that he was trying to keep, you know, far enough away that it didn't get blown up by Allied bombs. So at the end of the war, Ferdinand Springer is broke, but he has 63,000 books filled with like... The science of rocketry, which the Nazis had developed to a massive extent.

And like advanced metallurgy and medical, like all of this really important, crucial science that's going to be a big part of the space race. It's just sitting in Springer's warehouse, unpublished, right? And Maxwell becomes this guy's friend. Und wĂ€hrend sie darĂŒber sprechen, erklĂ€rt Ferdinand ihm, wie wissenschaftliches Publizieren funktioniert.

Und er sagt, die Regierungen fundieren wissenschaftliche Forschung, so wie UniversitĂ€ten. Und es gibt GrĂŒnde, und diese GrĂŒnde kommen manchmal aus Regierungen, aus verschiedenen GrĂŒnden, aus reichen Philanthropen. Und sie bezahlen fĂŒr die Wissenschaft. Und dann produzieren die Wissenschaftler diese BĂŒcher ĂŒber ihre Erfindungen. Und dann bekommen die Publizisten sie im Grunde fĂŒr gratis.

Und Maxwell ist so, warte einen Moment. Gratis? The most like important valuable resource in the world. People aren't even really charging for it. I got a motherfucking idea.
