[noobownzify]

u never said the name of the element though the entire vid :(

[KaslarProductions]

:D "Click to add keywords..."

[gnrfan32]

I could listen to this man talk about elements all day lol, he's like my perfect stereotype of a wise but silly looking scientist

[Andy120290Returns]

She may not have gotten a Nobel prize, but I think having an element named after her is a greater honor, if only because there are fewer to go around.

[vulpecula999]

i dont want to be a cartoon so f**** off

[NASCreations]

It's pretty obvious that Lisa Meitner didn't get the Nobel Prize because she was a woman. Disgusting!

[OrezUMoM]

So tht is what E=Mc2 means. ive always wondered wut it meant

[bustincapz]

and c is the speed of light through a vaccum its like 128472985793579347893

[Mudsta]

more like 3x10^8

:P

[sikory]

exactly 299792458.00000000

:p

[Fisherdec]

km/sec

[sikory]

nope, 299792458.00000000 m/s

[Fisherdec]

oops :)

[tripy666]

@sikory isnt it like 10 to the power of 8 being 3000000000?

[sikory]

@tripy666 no you've got a 0 too many, that's why exponential notation is so convenient, just think about writing c^2 or hbar in standard notation, it's easy to make a mistake with a 0 that makes your calculations completely wrong, I put the decimal point with the 0's in there because 299792458m/s is a definition and not a measured quantity, so you can add as many significant 0's as you like.

btw. do you realize that you are commenting on a year old comment?

[heloizyjhenifer]

squared!

[cheetah219]

umm...no...3.0E8

[ElveeKaye]

I like how the screensaver bounces from one monitor to the other in the background. :D

[konman001]

He probably has a video card with a dual DVI/monitor input - so he set it up in such a way that the monitor space is shared between monitors - it is great if you are working apps that utilize numerous icons. . . you can have workspace on one screen and all the icon functions on the other monitor

[insatiableso]

Sweet, I thought I was the only one who would notice that. : )

[AlwaysReadTheLabel]

I am sure there'll be something beautifully wonderful about the update of this one...

[JonesBonesScones]

Knowing the history about the element is very interesting and I think contributes a lot to learning about a particular element. I do appreciate these videos and all of the information they share it's pretty cool!

[mindflaypewpew]

As much as I like these videos, the story of Meitner has nothing to do with the element Meitnerium itself. =p

[inthefade]

Yeah, I doubt there is much to know about it. All these really high atomic number atoms don't really have much to 'em.

[rookie4619]

first. good videos :D
