Octopus Laser - Backstage Science

At 3:00 min: cancer is already cured: it's a candida-fungus infection curable with 'baking soda', search "dr tullio simoncini".

[j0kerman2]

@WakeUpSleepIsDeath No...youre confusing thrush with cancer. Candida albicans does not cause cancer and you cannot cure it with sodium bicarbonate

[RandomGuy0987]

@WakeUpSleepIsDeath You are quite insane and very racist.

[dumbzebra]

Seriously, nobady made that joke yet?

DOCTOR OCTAGONAPUS BUWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[twistedbass15]

Is there any credibility to Dr Bob Beck's work ??

[trespire]

Great to see the equipment setup, I believe we haven't yet begun to realize the full potential of what can be done with Laser light.

Good work.

[FrozenHaxor2]

He sounds like Mr Bean!

[andrebrannan1953]

Please crank up the volume on these videos and the sixty symbols ones. I keep having to adjust my volume all the time on my computer.

During a "Take your child to work" day:

Son: Father, when I grow up, I want to be a scientist just like you.

Dad: Good son. Now, tell me. What color light does the yellow cable transmit?

Son: Yellow light?

Dad: Wrong. It's red light. Now, tell me what color light does the blue cable transmit?

Son: Blue light?

Dad: Wrong. It's green light. Now, tell me what colour light does the black cable transmit?

Son: A colour that is neither red nor green!

Dad: Wrong again.

Son grows up to be a politician.

Holy shit!

[bl4ck0p]

Slightly worrying that they'd install the likes of adobe reader on these systems.

[a1a2a3skurr1l]

Actually that was not a tipical microscope, but an inverted microscope...

[mobilemarshall]

laura is a cutie :)~

[Trichomes503]

I expected octopi with frickin' laser beams on their heads.

[eggroll9000]

@Trichomes503 The octupi were a lie.

[Draxis32]

Science is science, from any part where you start if you have the will to go deep you will a find a place with no boundaries.

[Cypryssss]

I have the same sound for my school fire alarm.

[unluckylion]

The good old GFP and stuff : D haha

[shidoink]

i was very disapointed after seeing the title.

[Films4You]

5:48 a seahorse

[mathie92]

@Films4You thats why its named the horsehead nebula



[Films4You]

@mathie92 Neat, thanks for this info.

[ALAPINO]

I'm going to guess they can't achieve laser super cooling at this lab?

Dark in here, because Laura is DOING SCIENCE.

[LBPCraftsman]

Octopuses with FRICKIN LASER BEAMS ATTATCHED WITH THEIR FRICKIN HEADS!

[LechuCzechu]

0:42 - twelve lasers ? It should be called duodecimpus - not an octopus .... xD

[BackstageScience]

@LechuCzechu oh how I wished they called it the duodecimpus... that would be cool!

[2xsf]

@BackstageScience

I kind of like 'disquidopus'.

[ALAPINO]

@LechuCzechu @3:51 -- that's why it's called an Octopus.

[alcyonae]

@LechuCzechu *facepalm. it would be dodecapus

[HWGuyEG]

A man can never have too many lasers.

[Malithion2001]

By optical tweezers you mean tractor beam right. Just say tractor beam it's 100% cooler.

[AbortedSheepFetus]

not gonna lie, I blanked out for about a third of the video just thinking about organizing all the icons on those desktops lol

[kamikrazi123]

I was expecting to see something completely different...

[ieatatoms]

That last minute or so in regards to linking whole galaxies and single cells was particularly interesting.

[uut0]

Isn't it kinda confusing that the yellow cable transmits red light, the blue green light and the black one 3 different colors?

[BackstageScience]

@uut0 hmm, I'm sure there is some logical reason!? :)

[uut0]

@BackstageScience What I think is the case is that yellow indicates that it is a single mode cable, blue single mode with polarization and that the black indicates that there are multiple cables inside the cable. (sorta like that electric cables have blue/brown/green-yellow cables to indicate certain things) :O

[boldger13]

@BackstageScience

Cheaper than having a custom fiber optic cable made to match the colors.

[wazscience]

@BackstageScience i guess the company was running out of plastic, and used what they had

[HomeDistiller]

@uut0 i would think its to stop light bleeding in of the wrong colour if you had a red cable on the red laser then you might collect another wavelength of red light but a different colour cable would absorb any red light instead of reflecting it

[RectumPilum]

Weeeeee
