00:00Why winners keep winning the science behind the Matthew effect?
00:04In the echo chambers of history, a single phrase has whispered through the corridors of power and discovery.
00:10For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.
00:14Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
00:19This is the Matthew effect.
00:20A force as subtle as gravity but no less omnipresent in the grand theater of science.
00:25Picture an unremarkable laboratory in Paris, 1897.
00:31Marie Curie, working late into the night, painstakingly measures traces of radioactivity,
00:36but when her discoveries shake the world, only her association with Pierre Curie grants the scientific recognition she deserves.
00:44The credit flows to those already celebrated.
00:46A glimpse of how fame begets more fame.
