Martyn's Message - Periodic Table of Videos

[reichmeister50]

Great videos and great work!

[tommy9688]

great videos!

[DJthesource]

Thank you! you're videos are a great inspiration for me and they also make me fall in love with chemistry over an over again. Never stop making these videos

[ProfWithTheHair]

@evgeniyar Bol'shoe Vam spacibo za Vashich lyubeznich slov. Martyn

[MidnightRedemption]

Periodic Table of Videos.

Making Chemistry fun.

[evgeniyar]

Мартин! Ребята! Я просмотрела все ваши видео, некоторые по нескольку раз! Вы самые замечательные! Я надеюсь когда-нибудь вы сделаете ТВ Шоу из своих маленьких видео, чтобы как можно больше человек могло насладиться гуманностью и теплотой которыми наполнены ваши видео!

[jjovereats]

@evgeniyar Translit: Martin! Pebyata! Ya prosmotrela vse vashi video, nekotor'ie po neskol'ku paz! V'i sam'ie zametshatel'n'ie! Ya nadeioc' kogda-nibud' v'i sdelaete TV shou iz cvoikh malen'kikh video, tshob'i kak mozhno bol'she tshelovek moglo nasladit'sia gumannost'io i teplotoy kotor'imi napolnen'i vashi video!

Very inaccurate translit by Jack J.

[nelson1tom]

These videos are awesome, do u guys have any cool titration reactions? the ones we do in my AP chemistry class usually just go from brown to yellow to colorless.

[franczyk94]

your videos are great and they are the only place where i can learn about the man made and super heavy elements. when ever i ask my teacher she just says dont worry about them

[Defonthana]

Oh wow that is really making me suggest something. Well first of all...i have to say (what quite a lot people said before) that this is a great channel! It really makes you want to study chemistry..also i think i would be to hard for mee..unfortunately...but it is easy to understand so even people how never done something with chemistry before can...at least basicly...understand what is going on!

and that made me thinking of the idea...but the text is going to be too long. i have to make another

[Defonthana]

@Defonthana

so...to be continued... ;-) ...well how about making videos af basic chemical things like "what is an alcohol? what makes it have this name..or what the name tells you about the molecule?" or like what are Ester..you know what i mean. so that everyone can understand..what they didn't understand in school's science lessons. may it is too much ...but..it was just an idea ^^

[JesusHChrist2000]

Could you do some videos about the Bayer process, Haber process, Contact process for H2SO4, or other industrial processes?

[msowdal]

LOVE THIS STUFF! perhaps in the future you could explain some simple process chemistry, like breaking cellulose down to sugars for people trying to make alcohol fuels without GMO materials or how to refine vegetable oils for use as fuel. Professor Polakoff could be the "spark" of a minor revolution for the masses.

[IAINMAN96]

I would love if Martyn was my chemistry teacher. I hope I'll go to Nottihingam.

[barkulator]

What's an allotrope? What are ions? Charges? MORE DEBBIE

[Juiceton5000]

An allotrope is one of the different forms a single elements can be; for example, Carbon can exist as diamond or graphite. Ions are atoms or particles that have either a negative or positive charge due to the loss or gain of an electron. Charges are the positive or negative values associated with an ion.

[pepsibookcat]

Heh. Muse.  You get style points for that one.

[Jakub0071]

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alex887]

I wish Martyn was my chemistry teacher.

Perhaps I would have learned something the first time around.

[pepsibookcat]

Adorable geekiness.  I'm addicted!

(Bonus points for going with Muse, btw.)

[culwin]

Great videos! It's like chemistry class, but without the grades.

[arjs87]

Profesor es un ejemplo a seguir...muy buenos videos me gustan mucho como estudiante de Quimica que soy...

Saludos...

[dbc616]

great cinematography!!

[rnistuk]

Thank you very much for making these videos.

[alanna4858]

These videos are my absolute favourite. I absolutely love them. Keep going guys. Cheers!!

[prfctday]

MUSE - nice choice.

[100PercentGeeks]

I Love Science!

Thanks for all these videos ^^ They're amazing

[kingpopaul]

witch video is 1:44 from?

[F00dTube]

"We've got a lot of very nice comments, for example Bobby writes: 'Fucking asshole, you've just wasted 4 minutes of my life. 911!!eleven!! was an inside job!' On the potassium video"

[madsciiscrazy]

cheers

[kixnet]

Your videos are great. Please keep making them, they are very informative. I learn more about these elements from the videos than I would have if I used the internet.

[ElveeKaye]

The Table of the Elements? Oh, I only use that periodically.

[FlacaMuchacho]

i love the videos you guys make !! :D

Please never stop :)

[oobermate]

I am extremely into chemistry and am looking forward to becoming a chemistry professor myself in the future. Really facinating information. Great videos. =)

[kyledontforget]

All this science interests me! I'm drawn to it enough that I can listen to it and undertsand what is going on... for once!

[blinking801]

Beautiful best thing I have seen on u-tube. Great idea about the compounds how about aqua regia.

[jesusrocks007]

ty doc :)

[roendm]

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fyayh2]

I really wish Dr. Martyn taught in my school

[clappyslapper]

set us some homework :-D

[christy13131]

Absolutely top class videos. It's this sort of thing that inspires people to take up science as a career.

Now how about having a word with your physics collegues to put together a few bits and pieces e.g. a brownian motion experiment.

Thanks for the entertainment :)

[zetreque]

very cool!!! thank you!!!

[CitizenErased2007]

omfg smart, awesome AND they like muse ?

THESE ARE MY GODS :O !

[tetris2300]

haha just thinking that

[Ritzoid]

Great videos guys! I love it when there's some history thrown into science, and when little nidbits of interesting book titles, facts, and analogies are added to your videos. I think the most important part in teaching is keeping the material fresh and exciting. Keep up the good work!

-Cheers

[drummajor0687]

I really wish Dr. Martyn taught in the states!

[OmfgitzJonn]

I want Martyn's glasses! Great videos!

[1mb0123d]

I really like these videos. They make chemistry much more interesting and entertaining. My thanks to the team for these awesome videos

[petepsy]

I'm in my mid 40s and never studied Chemistry as a subject alone. I find these videos fantastic and wish science in all forms was better promoted when I was at school. Very informative and interesting.

[paulruddick]

Brilliant, I used to be rather rubbish at chemistry at school because the teacher was so het up with chemical names. Your videos are great and explain things in a much easier to understand method. Perhaps some new chemistry tests to show how practical the science can be, like how do we make petrol (I've always wondered)?

PS. I'm not a pyromaniac!

[marconarajos]

We make petrol by distilling it from crude oil. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons. The less carbon atoms there are in a hydrocarbon molecule, the higher the boiling point. The heat the crude oil up and distil it according to their boiling points. Petrol has 8 carbon atoms, hence octane.

[marconarajos]

oh my gosh! i was the one who made that comment about molecules (CO2 + DNA)! thanks so much for making these videos, they've been so helpful in my class. too bad they scrapped the year nine SATs, i would have taken it next year. i would really love to beat everyone in my chemistry test using these videos!

[pyrioni]

very educational for me form 2 student. thank you!

[wildwolf111]

I just spent the a few hours watching your videos. These videos are awesome. Thank you for making them (though they will get me into trouble tomorrow because I didn't finish my homework... lol) !

[unicyclist0]

AMAZING!! what you all do is just plain amazing! this weekend I am going to sit down and watch a bunch of these.... though at the moment I cant/shouldnt because of the Chem class I am in... so.. I should be responsible and be prepared for that rather then learn fun things about eliments

[impossibletimelord]

Thank you so much Professor! I am a home-schooling mother, so this is a great was to expose my daughter to Chemistry at an early age. She can see that Chemistry is an active science. She is already interested and excited about science, and how things change. These videos will be a wonderful addition to our curricula.

Also, many thanks to your team! Keep up the good work! :D

[aspieasta]

Thank you so much for these videos. I never learnt chemistry at school, so I am curious to learn about it. I studied an OU course in science, and couldn't get my head around how to study chemistry, but these videos are brilliant, because they go systematically through the elements and are visual and entertaining. I find it so much easier to learn this way.

So thank you - you are a great team, and I love how you joke around and don't take yourselves too seriously. :-)

[johnclavis]

Terrific videos -- thanks so much!

I've been into the Periodic Table ever since I was a kid! I even have a really cool, retro wall-chart of the periodic table that was printed in 1950 -- technetium has almost no information!

Everyone should check out a book called "Nature's Building Blocks" by James Kircher (I think) -- relaly fascinating info about each element!

Keep it up, guys! Wonderful stuff!

[osakanone]

Thanks guys -- This is really awesome. I've had lots of fun following you. :)

[TheMojoTribe]

love the links oh and the camera you use it's like 4k though cant afford oh and i think your web server is down (p.s iv asked my chemy teachers to use your vids in his lesson!) keep up the chemistry!!! ahhhh Sparta chemistry

[Sectorsophia]

Fantastic videos. Keep it up :)

[NAMLegolas]

I wish you were my chemistry teacher!

Just found out about these videos, I just watched them all in one night! LOVE THEM! KEEP IT UP!

[sy1234]

I enjoy all the light humour throughout the bits of odd history or material uses or personal stories.

[HotCat2001]

ditto!

[reddeath1888]

brilliant videos!

[flyonawndshield]

I've never been very good at Chemistry and even got poor marks taking Gen. Chem in college! But, even so, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all your videos.

Your approach to them is fun and accessible, and as a result,-everyone- can appreciate the real science regarding even the most elusive of the elements. I think the balance between education and entertainment is incredibly difficult to achieve, but your videos consistently do so.

Martyn and the others, thank you for your work!

-John, TN,USA

[reinux]

Thank you.

I used to really hate chemistry, but after watching your videos, I can't quite remember why.

This is what the Internet is meant to be!

[ibphotos]

Hey Martyn, you guy's are the ROCK STARS of the Geek world. I love your vodeos, and have tried to steer my kids to look at them too. I find fascinating the way different elements react to form different compounds, and also of what the everyday things around us are made of. ANy videos along those lines would be much appreciated.

[kolderiekerik]

Great and very complete series, thanks. Watched maybe 10 episodes, more to go!

[dagger86]

Your videos are wonderful and fabulous.

[Blairwest5]

Asomw but rethink the format of peridocvideos website

[gatorclaw]

Thank you! I just watched every one of the videos. Amazing work. This should be on Discovery Channel- pronto!

[waragainstgreed]

you've given the mouse a cookie. it now wants a glass of milk. yes, the spark of curiosity ignites a firestorm of knowledge that spreads over the planet.

thank you very much for these videos.

[alexitin]

How I love these videos. Some day you might want to rebuild the website. It's a little ugly, but the concept of making the periodic table alive with video is so brilliant. It reminds me of Primo Levi's book... This is informative, but also something of a work of art... new media art.

[ismite123]

actual question...i might sound stupid but ill only learn if i ask...anyway here goes...if dna is a molecule, is a human being actually a big molecule? be gentle and if you are just wanting to be mean please just leave me alone. anyway are humans just big molecules?

[waragainstgreed]

not a big molecule, but a series of probably more than a trillion trillion molecules, each with just the right variations to comprise different tissues. DNA is often called a code for living things. i dont think you sound stupid at all, your question has me perplexed - from chemical reaction to sentient being... one cant help but wonder what interprets this code. ill say this though; if physics are to philosophy what man is to woman, imagine the offspring.

[Mekill60]

As a bit more addition to what he said, the human body is indeed made out of trillions of molecules of different kinds. A molecule is a particle composed of of one or more atoms held together by chemical bonds; the smallest part of a compound that displays all of the properties of the compound. Which basically means that the human body contains H20, Carbon molecules, and so forth. DNA is a molecule located in the Nucleus of our cells, it is the basic information that a cell needs to survive.

[LastCommand]

These videos are addictive!! THANKYOU FOR POSTING!!!

[themugenfood]

These videos you guys do have got me interested in chemistry, and i REALLY want to be a chemist now (or a demoman, KABOOM =D)... anyways, keep the updates goin', keep the vids coming, keep the inspiration growing, and good luck

[seraphic002]

YAY MUSE!!! is that supermasiv black hole?!

[sintrixpwns]

yeah it is

[PetulantKim]

My wifes thesis is on oil uptake in french fries, any ideas?

[wimsop]

thanks for this really great series of videos! wish i could have seen this back in my school days.

[oobermate]

great job on the videos. i have watched all of them at least twice each. keep up the great work! :)

[reuvens1234]

my english isn't perfect so i'll wright to you in hebrew (hpeing somoen will trnslate at)

אתם גדולים!

נתתם לי כ"כ הרבה עזרה !

תמשיכו בעבודת הקודש שלכם ותראו לכולם למה כימיה שולתתתתת!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

נ.ב

אני מתכונן להקדיש את הפוסט הבא שלי לכם .

[Proph3tTroyer]

a literal translation:

You are big!

Gave them me so much help!

You will continue by the work of your sacredness and show to all why that

[likefensi]

:3 tnx alot for all your work!!! you made chemistry alot more fun then it used to be! :3

- A thank you from China

[elocoetam]

Just Keep Up The Good Work!!!

[XxDEBUGxX]

Definately very appreciative for these videos. Since I subscribed I've watched all of them and they are both informative and also enjoyable,it's really refreshing to have a source of information that is both easily accessible but also more than simply text, or a very basic demonstration of an experiment.

In any future endevour you choose to persue I and I'm sure all the other people who found your videos enjoyable will back you 100%.

I look forward to more pockets of knowledge with excitement.

[SaintCog]

It's only a shame that there aren't more *EXPLODING* elements in the table. Good work!, to all of you putting these videos together.

[kmarie42]

I love these videos! So nice to learn something from youtube, and be entertained at the same time :)

[chichimus]

This is a great series and I just love that you are going to look further into chemistry.

You all are doing a great job. I can tell you eat this stuff with a big spoon.

[Tracon82]

This could be done for physic's pretty easily. Maybe some more complex or common compounds would be nice to know. Either way your idea was very simple and I'm surprised no one had thought of it before but someone had to be first and this is certainly great. I'm in college chem right now and the only reason i remembered that K was Potassium was these videos. So thanks for those 3 points on that test and keep going and maybe get the physicists to give it a try.

[tomatzu]

Excellent video. Chemistry isn't just exciting, but interesting, and the way you explain it and show how it works is excellent for not just degree students like myself, but even my brother who is doing his GCSE's, and to my friends who aren't aware of the in-depth chemistry to some of the elements.

I wish you all the best with your future videos. I have recommended you to all of my colleagues and lecturers at UKC.

[msrgs]

Really really excellent Martyn, not quite watched all of them yet!!! - Dave H Warwick

[dismutased]

I'm so glad you are continuing with the videos and giving us more fantastic information couched as entertainment! GO GEEKS GO!

[inthefade]

Yay! I love these videos. The more information per element the better. You could consider doing some videos that are more in-depth for those of us who like more information.

Something else you guys should do is make a video about the basic makeup of atoms, describe the valence levels, what they mean and what role they play in building molecules, what ions are, the role of all the different quanta, etc.

Good job, keep it up guys!

[jimmytangy]

Yayyy, muse

[halori]

I am a biology student, but all these videos sort of re-ignite my love for chemistry during the A-levels. :)

Good luck and wish to see more videos!!

[Ch3mG33k]

I'm so excited for these new videos. These scientists are doing something really wonderful.

[mclight81]

great song... love muse

[THEspindoctor84]

this guy is cool

[Samhains]

We love the English!!!..You guys rock!..no you guys..sodium rock..LOL WE learn alot from you..but dont think I dont want to start chucking chunks of sodium into water now cause I watched your video...cause I do..:P bronine and clorine..carful what you tell the kids*

[blahgirl37]

Love your vids and your hair!! XD

[ColevanFilms]

The success of these videos doesn't surprise me at all. People are thirsty for knowledge. That's why there's a Discovery Channel, a Biography Channel, a History Channel, on and on.

Anyway, well done. Keep up the good work.

[VeritasEtLibertas82]

I love these videos -- really helped my understanding of the elements.

[Toxie207]

I can't wait!

[archaedemos]

Chemistry IS Exciting!!! Its the absolute utilization and application of pure physics.

GOoooo!!! Chemistry!! (;

[feerof]

chemistry is quite neat after looking at how important and how neatly organized the periodic table is. really, i never knew you could talk so much about a table like that. haha i never knew the significance of it.

[0c4pnh4nk]

Chemistry is interesting, unfortunately, the way I have been taught in the past has been incredibly dry. I enjoy the videos because you all seem so personable and knowledgeable.

That, and I enjoy whipping out neat facts of information and answer questions from friends, or family, or fellow students. The information presented here has even helped me in filling out crossword puzzles!

Cover the most ground as possible because, in reference to molecules and DNA. It would be much appreciated.

[stuartthegrant]

Thats some task you are undertaking. Great

idea.

[xxxemokidlauraxxx]

these videos have helped me alot i wana be a forensic anthropologist and i have to get to no the periodic table (which ive never been able to do)  NOW I CAN SING THE ELEMENT SONG BY HEART YAY thanks a bunch i owe u 1 xxx

[Tolrias]

wooooohoooooo more video :D

[Jekelstheory]

Thanks for the amazing Videos,

never really had an interest in The Periodic Table of Elements until I started watching these :D

[hakane]

Fantastic, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[xplosivepizza]

GREAT VIDEOS!

[Blisary]

Chemistry is my favorite subject in school, well science in general. I love all the periodic table videos and I'm really looking forward for more! Thanks!

[ofey137]

HUNGARY! YEA RULZZZ Hevesy Neumann Teller Wigner Szilard. btw viva la Feynman:)

[CaesarMagnusYT]

Regular updates! That is awesome! I have really enjoyed the periodic table series. Definitely looking forward to more.

Thanks so much!

[feenix560]

most inspiring. thamk you for all your vids

[ktspaz]

Man I wish you were my science teacher, your awesome!

[MeIoco]

I love your videos, Just think if this technology had been around in Einstein's time. Generations beyond number would benefit, as they will from your videos.

[allsorts4me]

Please keep the videos coming. Love them!

[batjutsu]

Great news, many thanks :-)

[themanwithacrumpet]

This is seriously one of the best ways to spend time on youtube. Informative, interesting and fun, its better than the crap you find on youtube and television. I've loved science and do my own projects and I would like you guys to keep on going and do everything that you want because I think we'll always watch what you guys make

[strek0655]

To be very honest... These videos have actually made my view on chemistry the complete opposite from what it used to be in high school. Now I LOVE it. Chemistry is the best subject at school and its very interesting because these videos makes the elements something one can relate to and not just a variation in numbers.

Thank you VERY much

From Norway

[STHayden]

I'm very excited to see weekly videos. Keep up the great work!

[trickyricky42]

Chemistry was the subject which greatly interested me when I was at school. These videos rekindle some of that early excitement for me, so well done; keep up the very good work and thanks for all your efforts.

[blath]

Y'all have no idea how happy this channel makes me, keep up the good work.

[metroidprime4]

Keep doing what you do!

[digitalni]

You're doing a great job... Thank you so much from Sweden!

[hord]

cant wait for these extra videos, you have made chemistry so much funner then at school where you just read about it, we see it first hand and know what its used for and see some experiments! This is one of the best educational channels on youtube!
