I did a quick search for the 100 year light bulb. It does exist and is generally accepted as being true.
What I posted on the video: "The 100 year light bulb creator, Adolphe Chailet, was in competition with Thomas Edison who was notorious for using patent laws. Patent laws are government creations. He got 2,332 patents. His Light bulb among them."
Without having gone into a deep research, it seems to me that there was many people developing light bulbs at the same time, but that Thomas Edison got his version patented which is why it was the one that "won" over the others.
