This state of matter was first predicted by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in 1924--25. Bose first sent a paper to Einstein on the quantum statistics of photons. Einstein was impressed, translated the paper himself from English to German and submitted it for Bose to the Zeitschrift für Physik which published it.

The story of the banana republics, the United Fruit company, or the CIA intervention of the 40s and 50s are virtually impossible stories to tell correctly. They are simply too big and complicated. Mixing them together as I've done here means leaving out a vast majority of the story. A thousand unmentioned thoughts. I think, maybe, with around 3 hours or so you could start to get a basic handle on it, but I've done my best with twenty minutes. Hopefully it helps to at least start painting the picture.
As always, thanks for watching, everyone. We truly appreciate you.
