  • Whats the huge bottle collection up in Dr. office?

  • Left Handed :)

  • The formel could write: (g/mol=(relative Atomformeladditionmasse)*10^-3­6)

  • What was the outcome of the milk before water, or water before milk argument?

  • @iddn The Prof answered that... Just don't care! They're going to be mixed anyway :P

  • That's so weird, I was just reading about how anthocyanins change color in acidic or basic environments.

  • I'm sure that guy gets laid each night with a different woman. He totally is a womanizer. Seriously this guy has a very individual behaviour and style and is unique, which is attractive to women.

  • This is so awesome. I want him as my professor.

    I wish I knew this guy!!!

  • ok, so there were 3 beakers, two had tea in them, the other looked like water mixed with small worms.... What in the heck was in that 3rd beaker!?!?

  • @mccdotedu Tea.

  • HAVING A MAD HAIR FOR THIS CHAP IS JUST A WAY TO SPICE HIS LIFE .. IT'S NOT GOING TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO YOUR SCIENCE WHEN YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN ENOUGH GOOD SIGNS OF SCIENCE .. MAD HAIR IS YOUR ONLY LEGACY. IS IT A CASE OF LONG HAIR AND SHORT SCIENCE ? CHEMISTRY DEALS WITH SUBSTANCE BUT THERE IS NO HAIR IN IT .. I'LL SEE YOU WHEN IT SNOWS ..OH .. IT JUST DID .. LOOK AT YOUR HAIR .. HeHeHe....

  • Wait. The indicator in the tea has a PROTON added to it?

    That sounds like alchemy. o.O

  • @DFZero235 Mhm. Acids, such as those in the lemon juice, love to give away their protons!

  • @DFZero235 Why? There's nothing wrong with that statement.

  • @DFZero235

    I think you might want to review your acid-base chemistry mate :)

  • i agree with everything she says!

  • cool stuff

  • i met this man at dulles airport in washington dc he is a really cool and nice guy and fun to talk to!

  • OMG, I have a periodic table mug, and I prefer green to black tea.

    I also have hair similar to the prof's ... though not as epic!!

  • We need to walk into these Chemistry Labs and correct everything. These Chemicals are Toxic to the Human Body.

  • @heartlessvietboy Chemicals are safe when handled correctly in a proper environment. If they didnt have those chemicals, they wouldnt be able to teach chemistry students to use chemicals correctly or teach them the chemistry of the chemicals, knowledge which they may use to benefit mankind. People dont realise that everything, even pure water(hyrdrous oxide or H2O) is a chemical or made of of chemicals

    Life itself is basically systematic chemistry when boiled down to its simplest, crudest form

  • There is no benefit to chemicals. We can live without them. It's the reason why Earth is dying and there's War & Killing.

  • @heartlessvietboy Obviously, you really dont know what youre talking about so im just going to give up and not care about what you have to say. I wont convince you of anything anyway. Life's too short to argue in a comments box of youtube

  • It's not arguing. It's debating. I'm trying to tell you that we can live without chemicals. 75% if diseases came from Factory and Laboratory Chemicals. Periodic Table = Gun Powder and Uranium. Trees are for building homes. We can grow. Water is from Rain. Food is from farming.

  • @heartlessvietboy You can't live without chemicals, the only reason we've got lots of farms / crops / animals is because of the chemicals we use. Lower quality food, but plenty for everyone.

  • @heartlessvietboy

    Might I remind you that everything, including you, is made of chemicals?

  • Man-Made Chemicals are the evil in this world. Factory Chemicals are the reason why people have cancer and diabetes.

  • @heartlessvietboy You're so right. You should stop using anything that contains, or was made with any kind of chemicals. It's easy to do, just look around your room, and anything you see, throw it out! Get rid of it. Don't keep anything, because there is nothing in your room that was produced, grown, or transported to you without the use of chemicals. And once you're standing naked in a field of flowers, reveling in the fact that you're not using chemicals, how will you post it to Facebook?

  • Hard plastics (computers) are safe when we recycle them. So are plastic bottles. But people aren't recycling. That's the reason why I said there's no benefit to Chemicals.

  • @heartlessvietboy Just so you know, plastics ARE man-made solid chemicals. You need man-made chemicals to make computers. You need man-made chemicals to recycle stuff.

  • I don't think hard plastics are harmful to the human body unless they are swallowed or left to decay out in the wild.

  • @bmbirdsong Even the flowers are made up of chemicals. Even he is made up of chemicals. Life is so cruel.

  • Organic is the way to go. Natural.

  • what did the student say in chinese at the end? (8:18)

  • I could go for a nice peach iced tea right now......

  • Lol

    

  • That was cool, I love the screen saver which passes between 2 computer screens and the water bottle collection

  • @MikeB4242 i was jst gonna say that! :P

  • Anyone know what she said at the end?

  • @BubbaHoggit If I'm correct, The university of Nottingham, Chemistry department wishes you a happy and prosperous new year (ox year). Something along those lines, she's just wishing everyone a happy and good year! :)

  • That green tea, is it 龙井茶 Long Jing (Dragon Well) tea?

    Did the professor live in China some period of his life or pick up his tea habits in China? Becayse that is the way people drink tea in China, with leaves in the cup/bowl, and never with milk.

    That's how I drink tea too, chinese green teas, or chinese oolong teas, yummy, no flavoring or sugar or milk needed, just delicious fine tea leaves.

  • @lotrfreak2010 pouring the tea in after the milk cools the tea feather then the milk. Heating the incoming milk makes the protein chains unravel and lose it's flavour.

  • @azx100ful

    Or maybe we can all drop the nationalistic bullshit and consider chemistry a human endeavor rather than one your particular region of the world gets to claim?

  • @azx100ful This is so bloody unrelated to the video, what the hell does Allah and the basic chemistry gleaned from the Islamic golden age (which ended a few centuries ago) have to do with a video explaining the chemistry of tea for Chinese New Year? Also, if we're going to make random religious statements, Allah does not exist, no God does :)

  • I would totally wear that tie.

  • I don't understand, is there a chemical difference between adding the milk and adding the tea?

  • @z0tx I think the deal is with shocking the milk. If you pour tea into the milk it tempers it slowly and you're not shocking it. It has to do with the protein denaturing at a certain rate, much like when you temper eggs before making a custard so they don't curdle.

    At least that's my theory. I personally think there is a difference in the consistency and taste and prefer the milk in first :).

  • Professer M. Poliakoff... Fancy name... I bet he's a Russian.

  • @SwirlingChords British-Russian: he was born in London. 

  • @SwirlingChords very bright remark.

  • @SwirlingChords his father was a russian

  • Please decode that message.

  • When i get older like 40 - 50 i want that BADASS HAIR

  • Thumbs up for a video on Adamantium and Unobtenium.

  • i found the screensaver thing on the monitors so much more interesting. :/

  • Everyone Type "Won" Before youtube.com

  • fuck all those justin bieber haircuts. I want his hair!

  • DAMMIT, WHY DIDN'T I FOUND THIS ON MY THIRD YEAR HIGHSCHOOL?!

    It should be more exciting!

  • for all the americans out there you spell tea C-O-F-F-E-E

  • @shidoink not in the south.

  • @shidoink We spell tea T-E-A

  • watch 0:50 with subtitles - awesome

  • lemon tea :) tastes great though

  • The Professor is Left Handed, thats one more!!! Including me!

  • I never get used to the asian smiling mask

  • And Finally

    A Chinese New Year Message

    ...WHAT THE HELL

    your videos are brilliant =D

  • would be caffeine a white powder? oO

  • I love this professor and tea

    This video is perfect

  • I always watch this video with my own cup of tea. xP

  • What is the chemistry of pu-erh? Would it be the same?

  • I have a request. Do a video on the caffeine molecule and why it works.

  • I love hearing Chinese being spoken :D

  • Instrument, not machine :)

  • He has the classic mad scientist hair . AWESOME :D

  • I would think the professor likes regular black tea, his liking green tea surprised me only because he is so quintessentially British :) but I agree with him, Green/White tea is a bit more refreshing =) keep up the great work brady!

  • thanks for uploading this educative video

    hairstyle is quiet good

    and office is really messy

  • 7:00 the computer behing him. WTH?

  • @nejustinas32 double screen, never seen it?

  • From the part of the world I come from, tea isn't really associated with new year. Wedding ceremonies perhaps. (I love lemon tea btw)

  • I am one of those people who loves to learn new things. It is no surprised that I watch this channel all the time. I am always surprised. You never know what you might learn, if you just take the time. I am a subscriber. Thank you.

  • Is that hair real?!

  • Is he a brother of Benny Hill?

  • thats true...tested it

  • I am from Hong Kong and we don't drink tea in the Chinese New Year

  • Pouring milk or tea first, I think the issue is about quantities and how well mixed the end product is. If you pour the smaller quantity of the two substances first, you will get a more thoroughly mixed product since pouring the second substance will take longer and therefore give you a longer amount of time during which it is being mixed. Of course, if you stir it afterwards, you've made it a moot point.

  • @FIScorinthian I think it has more to do with the way the tea brews. If you place the milk in first you lower the temperature of the mix so your tea does not brew as well.

  • @physicsbugga Hmm... suppose you heated the milk first?

  • Primarily the milk first or second debate is (or rather was) more about the chemistry of the cup. In the 1700s cheap mass produced china became available from potters in the Midlands of England. These would crack if heated too quickly, consequently the milk would be put in first.

    It actually was a status symbol if you had china in which the tea could be poured first. Adding the milk first was therefore something of a lower class thing to do.

    That said it does taste better that way!!!

  • Is that his real hair?

  • Nottingham University 化學系元素周期表XX小組 恭祝你牛年大吉 萬事如意

    lol

  • The exact class of compounds responsible for this color change are called anthocyanins. The most common one, if I recall, is cyanidin-3-glucozide. 

  • If you make tea and stir it before you add the milk, you can get more tea to desolve in the water as it is hotter. Then you can add the milk. It does not change the tea, just it means that the tea can be made more strong.

  • Oh, what's that screen saver? Able to transfer one screen to the next?

  • @orgminyak It's probably because the computer use both screen as a single display like one big screen

  • Afraid of drinking some liquid nitrogen?

  • @DeltaPhi79 It's only liquid nitrogen after all.

  • I hope there was nothing dangerous in those beakers before XP

  • is the dry cleaning fluid called tetrachloroethylene by any chance?

  • lemon juice is very acid lol, i want Chinese food

  • einstien lookin ass

  • If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate! ;)

  • This modern day clone of Einstein (when it comes to looks) rocks! lol

  • If caffeine has no effect on the taste of coffee, what is it that makes coffee taste so uniquely awful?

  • Not doing a great job of dispelling any stereotypes

  • Cool hair hahaha!

  • ...at least he HAS all hair left...unlike you...

  • @02stv whats your problem huh?

  • Frigging disrespectful of him to even talk about the Chinese tea ceremony looking like this.

    How can a guy so smart (supposedly) overlook something so obvious.

  • @Skybaby79 its a joke, calm down

  • @tehmittens

    Damn right he's a joke.

  • @Skybaby79 i was talking about the chinese tea ceremony thing, and these guys are all really smart, smarter than you for sure

  • @tehmittens

    And yet he's the one on YouTube looking like a Dr. Brown rip off.

    Uh huh

  • @Skybaby79 Why are you attacking the professor? He is soft spoken, gentle natured man.

  • @HotLeper

    Because this is a cheap gimmick for fame.

    His appearance degrades the Chinese Tea ceremony, it's far older, more respected then to be presented in this matter.

  • @Skybaby79 Fuck you =)

  • Comment removed

  • @williamkendrick

    You realize, you're replying twice to the same -months old- comment right? You kids can talk all the smack you wish, in the end this guy's a clown, disrespecting a time honored tradition with his ridiculous appearance.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @williamkendrick

    Again with you? Trolls seek to cause problems, I made a point that many have agreed with.

    Being respectful to other cultures should be one of the first things collage teaches......then again, look at your teacher.

    :P

  • @Skybaby79 you have been blocked, enjoy your silence.

    i dont answer trolls.

  • @williamkendrick

    Shouldn't have "Answered" in the first place.. It's an old comment.

  • Comment removed

  • @Skybaby79 Go be a douche somewhere else and by the way, its "soo smart" not "so smart".

  • This video makes me thirsty.

  • I would like to ask a question about caffeine, I have tryed every single sort of coffee, energie drink and nothing keeps me awake, the only thing that keeps me awake is Plain Water, why is that?

  • @felathaWOWguide I have noticed the same thing myself, I just don't feel any effect from coffee etc.

  • haha, cool video. i like it.

  • NMR!!!!! Just done that in Chemistry, so interesting.

  • @SumayahsIslam I did it in organic chemistry for a good portion of my last term in college. I formed somewhat of a love-hate relationship with the machine. :)

  • @AstralDragoon In UK, we don't get to work with nmr machines unless we're at university. We only get to learn the theory behind it. Is college in USA equivalent to university in UK? Thanks for answering :))

  • @SumayahsIslam I think they are equivalent. In the U.S., there are both colleges and universities; a college has to meet certain requirements before it can achieve university status. My school became credited as a university just before I entered.

  • 我也祝你萬事如意=]

    我很希望入讀這間學校呀

    跟這麼多位的專業一員一起研究會和工作

  • the queen always adds the milk first

  • Well first of all he has such a hair, I suspect, because he's not young anymore, obviously, and he doesn't know when his air is going to stop growing ... and afraid to cut it and stay bald for the rest of his life.

    Second, well, he reminds me of most of my teachers and my grandma, who was a teacher in the uni as well. Prolly because of the way he talks... looks very familiar. Prolly because he's russian like all my teachers were :P

  • That hair is BAdASs!

  • intresting video

  • "I'll just put some in my tea cup as well..." Love this guy.

  • watchu talkin bout willis?

  • wait wait WHAT??? he said add a proton??does he mean electron...im confused

  • No by proton he means H+

  • oh ok tht makes sense....thanks

  • no, acids contain more H+ than do more basic compounds. The H+ is the proton he is talking about

  • No he ment proton. He could also said Hyrdrogen+, same thing.

  • Awesome guy, I wonder if he is anti-weed or not.

  • Neat NMR loader!

  • wat is that stuff in the other cup with that green stuff in it??

  • GAWD HE IS AWSOME he is the best teacher evar if mine was like that:..

  • my absolute favorite person on youtube. no doubt

  • I agree, his knowledge amazes me. i feel i learn alot from this guy.

  • So... you want the taste of boiled leaves in water? Hmm. I might just have to think about this one.

  • 'Those are not tea' I laughed out loud!

  • Licorice tea is the best, sweetest tea Ive ever had.

  • It is cold, windy, and wet here on this Jan. night, and I'm enjoying this video along with a nice mug of hot tea. ;)

    Warm, snuggly hugs to the POTV folks! :)

  • I love how messy his office is. I never trust a professor with a tidy office.

  • @vornander9 And I bet you he knows where everything is.

  • @vornander9

    What about his hair? l0l

  • Even as a devout coffee drinker, I can understand the milk before or after debate.

    Personally, I prefer to add sugar first, then coffee and stir then add the milk. I think that the action of pouring assists the dissolving of the sugar and adding the milk helps to cool it to a more drinkable temperature. It isn't ruined if it is done differently though.

  • what tea is that your drinking? the one with just the leaves and no bag, i have been searching for a green tea like this for some time now.

  • looks like it is Yunnan Pure Bud Green Tea to me

  • thanks alot!

  • Your welcome !!! by the looks of it to me it dont look like it got much tast in it though.. but im sure its worth trying

  • the best tea is green mint tea !! moroccan tea !!

  • Then you make a hole series of videos about the periodic table.

  • rolf ,we watched something on this guy in school lol

  • my neighbor will not accept a cup of tea if the milk the milk has not been added to the cup before the tea. absolute rubbish!
