Table Exhibit - Periodic Table of Videos

[lravenl]

I like the tie :)

[Chriskeaten]

@fiish2 LOL

[TheNorcon]

That's so cool!  You guys deserve to be famous. Your videos are great fun and quite informative.

[kiwivimt]

Wow, that is a very good achievement to have a museum in Brazil use your videos. I think the periodic table of videos is a very good idea and I think I'm going to check out your videos now.

Amazing!

[archaedemos]

really cool!

[ElmarBischof]

Would be nice to have a similar Periodic Table at the London Science-Museum.

[Colten45Owns]

That is awesome, not just the QR code but the whole thing.

[MSCompuServ]

That is called a QR code. If you have a smart phone you read the information on the code. They probably set up html links to your Youtube videos.

[WhiteTiger333]

Wow - very cool that your vids were chosen! I liked the banana on the side of the potassium cube. :)

[ligerx45]

I think you shoud've hid behind the screen and when they put in the block and see your face on the screen you pop out and freak them out... (would only work if they didn't know you were their already)

[priaf]

you can see more on "facebook.com/expoelementar"

[priaf]

great!

[TheAdrenalineJunky]

Awesome exhibit and congratulations for being selected to be a part of it!

[jonnois]

i'm ! semester away from getting my chemistry degree, when i'm done i will be asking for a job with you guys

[Ephemrael]

I want one!

[armegeddon11]

What Was that El Box next to the Helium??

[heyandy889]

Damn! You guys are legit!

[osoe113]

That's badass.

[omichron420]

SUCCESS!!! The professor must have ladies crawling on their knees to him.

[UncleKennybobs]

Great success!

[pmr1973]

This is a great display - and the bar code video activator is a wonderful idea. Someone must have spent qutie some time captioning all the videos in Portuguese. Good on them, I say.

[meowcatcool]

Professor, you are a brofessor.

[Khaielaash94]

I love you guys so much! After watching your videos more often, my Chemistry mark went from 52% to 84. :D

[KingsBlend1]

I could listen to the Professor talk about a turd, he's simply the best!

[globalcorey]

I wouldn't mind spending a couple grand to see that chemistry display.

[japanesepoptart]

My mouth literally dropped open when I saw the professor come on the screen! :D

Did you guys know about it or was it a complete surprise?

[1RadicalOne]

What did any of the guests say, seeing, in person, the person on the screen?

[MrTranceNinja]

I wish they had something like this in the London Science Museum. It's really missing out on interactive stalls like this, and the most interactive part of the museum (the Launchpad) has restricted access and is really small. :C

Though something like this is easy to steal from, and people sure like tangible memories... >_>

[v8media]

I'm curious about the rights on these videos. Was this period table installation ok'd by you guys? Or can the videos be used in any way for education without prior consent? I looked around and didn't see anything about rights or usage.

[elocoetam]

I hope educators are watching, cause this has many other applications. Any field of science could benefit from a similar type of example.

[kontekzt]

great stuff :-)

[Razzfazz87]

3:09 buy a normal LCD TV (with LED back light) and use it as your computer screen. Works like a charm and there is no problem with being small on a computer.

[Razzfazz87]

I love how he seems to surprise himself with everything he says and then has to think about how to continue.

[infinummjb]

rare earths are the future so it's quite convenient that children are small and don't need to bend down for them ^_^

[lequebecois2]

wow



[BrotherBloat]

this is AWESOME! :D

[Skindoggiedog]

Dude's got arms like the robot from Lost In Space.

[Skindoggiedog]

That really is a great little exhibition.

[andycapo123]

Excellent, keep it up!!!!

[Harshfate]

Professor, you sir are a great teacher!

[FrozenHaxor2]

QR Code FTW!

[colourready]

'...And it'd be dreadful to lead them astray'

 lol the Professor's so funny

[pagani8]

Incredible!  Congratulations Professor!

[clearmenser]

This is why we can have nice things!

[MegaMonkeyExtreme]

oh Professor, you devil you.

[pepsibookcat]

Recursive Professor!

Metafun!

[yellowmetalcyborg]

I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but the elements themselves, although they are quite fascinating, are nowhere near as interesting as what you can do with them. I personally believe that periodicvideos can reach out to a wider audience if there were more videos about more than the elements. Don't get me wrong, these videos are great, I've been watching them even before I got a YT account.

[AtheistChef]

Sweet!

[rushianokun]

You guys and khan academy have REVOLUTIONIZED science learning

[Zeldakitteh]

@rushianokun Not to forget Sixtysymbols.

[rushianokun]

@Zeldakitteh yeah well, of course, I guess...  kind of....

[DactaDork]

Those codes look like those codes you scan with your cell phone. I wonder if they work with cell phones or not- that would be cool.

[THECOMMENTER10000]

I look forward to my sixties. I will have the same haircut as you sir, but till then I have to wait 41 years. I will make sure to use them in fulfilling my passion for chemistry

[Serostern]

I am watching a video of the professor being in brazil watching a video he recorded himself.

Wtf.

Lol

[chaos00113]

@Serostern Inception!

[punishedexistence]

@Serostern I think you mean FTW :) The Professor will soon be receiving his Nobel prizes in chemistry and public relations, never have a seen a person so dedicated to his work and so easy to understand and like. As I said, for the win!!

[culwin]

awesome

[soaleha1]

thats awesome!!

[dreasim]

WOW! very cool

[xarlz159]

i wish that kind o periodic table is found all-over the world

[dot1337]

awesome!

[DuckyOwl]

that's cool, gotta love professor's hair.

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

I wonder: What did people say when they saw the guy on the video stand right next to them?

[kaczmarek3007]

2:02 how did he fit his hair in his hat? jk :D

[bemanos12345]

very nice

[ModelOrange]

0:00 hymen. lol

[LogicalThinker667]

Pretty Badass!

[zythepsarian]

must be very flattering to find yourself on an exhibit in a far-off country, just goes to show you, learning and chemistry is universal

[igorcoreixas]

oh my godness! prof poliakoff came to brazil and i didnt know, to make matters worse, i also didn't know that there's an exhibition of his videos in my city!

brady, do you think that you're going to return brazil sooner?

[thejenyus]

yay. i hope this inspires you to keep making new videos. they are extremely interesting and educational but they're presented in a way that is fun and short enough. also <3 the professor.

[LsBaba]

Fame :)

What next, "Periodic Videos, The Movie"?

[birddog2017]

So one could say that you and your colleagues are now international stars!

GO CHEMISTRY!

[mayorca13]

i'm brazilian, where is this exibithion?you got more information about it?

[noobenstein]

@mayorca13 "rio museum of life"

[trespire]

I can remember the video about Hassium.

[MrGuitarZeppelin]

This is every type of win combined into one video

[DJBigz1988]

dude your gonna get so popular so fast. you are gonna be the super star of chemistry :D

[WolfDOuka]

THAT IS SOOOO COOL! How'd they do it? Do the periodic table element boxes have like a USB integrated into them? Or is it like a scanner? Please tell me!

[Probablyacowtbh]

@WolfDOuka That icon on the back of the cubes is called a "QR" code, have a quick google.

[dd08880bb]

@WolfDOuka They have the qr code on the back which is scanned with a simple camera and that leads you to the designated video ^^ You have that in advertising everywhere now, you take your mobile and with the proper app and camera these codes are usually links to some web pages...

[ERFireworks]

hahahahaha!!!! this is so funny!

[ghuegel]

At ~2:50, were they putting the element symbols together to make words? Fluorine, Uranium, Carbon, Potassium, that might be a bad idea.

[pepsibookcat]

@ghuegel ThinkGeek sells that t-shirt. lol

[MadPuppets1]

Chemistry, you are it.

[CommanderCoward]

You must feel very accomplished for having your videos used in a museum.

[hobbitsarecool]

WIN!!!!!

[wcastle9110]

The blocks that you can insert to show the videos are awesome, shows the impact this channel has had and it is awesome!

[PrivateSlacker]

If they painted the blocks in a gradual shading progression, it would be easier for the uninitiated to put them back in the right place even within the same class.

[SonOfNye]

@PrivateSlacker It would also make it easier if they put some kind of number system on the elements that moves forward in a logical fashion, like maybe left to right top to bottom. So hydrogen would be one, helium would be 2 and lithium could be 3.

[DevilMaster]

@SonOfNye They did. It's called the atomic number.

[SonOfNye]

@DevilMaster I think you missed the not too subtle sarcasm.

[josyula547]

Congrats sir ! You've made chemistry accesible to so many people around the the world.

And You have a beautiful hairstyle..

[DarbysBored]

love this!!!

[iamhoey]

That tie is awesome

[JonatanGronoset]

This was awesome. There needs to be more of these things.

[billytisme]

I Want One.

[JDanChris]

on the compu-ter

[Draxis32]

The QR-Code reads its in 19.html probably its an internal acess thing, cause clearly they've saved all the videos from periodic table, and it represents the element number 19(Potassium), and play its video.

Quite simple and clever but I guess the video display could be a little bit better, but for my country standards this is a Terrific Exhibition.

[Lleanlleawrg]

Indeed reads the url 19.html But without a webdomain before it, so it's some sort of local service then.

I just took a screencap, enhanced it a little and it worked fine for me :> Make sure you don't hold your phone too close to the screen for this one.

[PandaBasher]

The reason the code reads 19.html is because the element he picked, Pottasium, has the atomic number 19 and so when the scanner scans it, it tells the computer to play the Pottasium video.

[fossil98]

Those strange codes are 'QR codes'.

They are a way to encode data into an image and have it be read by an image sensing device. They are used in all sorts of places like advertisements and other interactive things such as exhibitions although not super widespread it is gaining traction. All you need to read QR codes is an app on your smartphone which reads the codes from the camera.

[khaledelmansoury]

@fossil98 That particular one he used, just says "19.html", the 19 is the atomic number of potassium which he used.

[tmafkap]

Truly, the Professor is a great teacher!

[rvdm88]

"this stange code" (1:08) reads: "19.html"

[DelxSus]

Quite cool, I thought about making the same thing some time ago, but I had no money. I'm glad someone made it!

[zing0a0ding]

FRICKEN AWE-SOME

[woodesroger]

dreadful to lead them astray :P chemists unite, lead the public away from the chemical truth, we will make a secret society just like the masons :)

[ThePurpleBus]

very cool! :)

[9b5as]

That strange code professor was talking about 1:08 seems to be a generic QR code. I wonder what would happen if you would scan with any QR code reader (let's say a smartphone)? Of course there is something encoded within, I wonder what is in there.

By the way, congratulations on getting your videos into the exhibition!

[Monolithix]

@9b5as Sadly even in HD the code is too poor quality for my phone to pick it up

[rvdm88]

@9b5as it reads 19.html

and something obvious infront of it, though it gets blocked by youtube

[andylares]

Thats neat

[Annulable]

That's amazing

[livmlarsen]

It could be so cool if my university had such an amazing interactive periodic table instead of the one painted on the boring blackboard

[Minifig666]

Plans new summer project... Can you guess what it is?

[kanjitard]

That was a really cool periodic table

[ToxicBassUK]

That's excellent.

[lexichronicle2]

Awww that's neat! :D

[twstdelf]

Very cool! Congratulations! Great to see these addictive videos spreading. Good work!

[canadianric]

lol children get the radioactive elements :P

[BentMachine]

oh my god. i want one of those

[PasseDieu]

That is very cool

[sabaths1fan]

thats just awesome i love it

[deadeaded]

You guys must feel so proud!

[thunderfirebolt]

thumbs up if you've memorized at least half of where elements go in the periodic table... =D

[rossexton]

Never wanted to go to Brazil more than I do right now!

[runnybabbit12]

wow

go nuts professor it's cool that they know and use your videos.

[Willoq01]

that's really awesome

[DyceKendoka]

thumbs up if you scanned the UR code on your phone!

[xsni]

Professor Poliakoff is such a character.

[MoeMonkey78]

this is AWESOME

[PrecisePrecision]

The Professor's hair is just unreal.

[jammer786]

8 views keep up the good work

[xsni]

Keep up the good work Dr. Poliakoff and Brady!!
