Nobelium - Periodic Table of Videos

[epicka]

So how in the world did Obama get a Nobel peace prize again?

[chavjones]

so what about nobelium?  This is all about Nobel. Nothing about Nobelium other than it's shaped like a "football".... fail.

[peon17]

@chavjones A bigger fail is that C_60 (or sometimes referred to as a Buckyball) is shaped like a football, not nobelium. On a more serious note, the elements that are very far along on the periodic table rarely have much to talk about. Nearly every one of them for which they've made videos contain information similar to this one.

A big explosion occurred on the 3 September 1864 at their factory in Heleneborg in Stockholm, killing five people. Among them was Alfred's younger brother Emil.

[ReverendFlatus]

Interesting stuff about Nobel, but nothing about nobelium.

[JMaxfield09]

kieselgur (UK spelling kieselguhr)

Nobel's key absorbent ingredient for dynamite, as mentioned by Prof. Poliakoff but not included in the subtitles (1:28). Also known as diatomaceous earth, or diatomite (source: Wikipedia).

Sawdust is another absorbant substance (source: Fight Club)

[DevilMaster]

Let's rename nobelium as poliakoffium!

[iSynOSX]

why does the professor have an American Dollar on his wall lol?

[mrericsully]

The Nobel prize in Economics is handed out by a sister organization (the bank that holds the money). The literature prize was missed in his list of prizes.

[culwin]

Should have been called YouTubium

[Lessien881]

@culwin You are a moron.

[culwin]

@Lessien881 Yeah, that's why I got 8 thumbs up.

[Lessien881]

@culwin they make fantastic videos dont be a tool and mess them up. just because 8 others are mindless does not mean you win.

[culwin]

@Lessien881 Wow, you seem like a really nice person. Thanks for your great contribution to these videos. Your insults really make things better for everyone. Keep it up!

[piecemover]

@culwin haha thats awesome dude

[CesaretNAME]

[legion3721]

Good series. I love it!

[dushiemcbag]

hooked on these awesome vids, this dude is bad ass man

[asgard69]

this videos are awesome

[rajwraith]

this guy rules!

[BirdValiant]

The closed captions for this are in a bad place for me - right in the middle of the screen. How can this be changed?

[bullets0000]

Only if the heck ads are removed. But they won't.

[BirdValiant]

...it works for me somehow. Yay.

[Ormaaj]

Heres this element. We know nothing about it. It has no use or application. But we have a funny story about its name!

[ElveeKaye]

XD haha, yeah. I guess it just fills a gap in the periodic table that would otherwise be empty.

[wwwhexxycom]

Your inspiring shots of information excite my brain, instead of inhibiting it. Cheers and merry christmas

[sn1pe352]

Honestly guys you are seriously helping the world with these videos

it was said all chemistry can be explained using an 18th century organ tuning manual

please explain

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

what's the proff's name?

[seanjo]

I love this guy. I just want to know when they'll release the video about the element he puts in his hair to keep it sticking out like that.

[tubeuser1992]

:) I wish you were my teacher, love your way of teaching. You make everything interesting. thank you

[roendm]

wow, he had his hair done,. ahahaha

[Guinnie]

Another great vid keep makin em !! Bravo Dudes

[bariman89]

Great stuff, if have to say it makes up for some of my unfortunate chem lectures in gen. chem.

[ibedubs]

Love his hair

[Shankovich]

Even your side track stories amaze me lol! I love all your efforts. I hope my uni chem teachers will be as devoted as you guys are! :)

[mountaineermaniac0]

my chemistry teacher is a twit .. im pretty sure i know more about it than he does .. it feels like im in an LD class .. he really ruins a subject i love .. but this guy makes it great, ive seen all the videos

[SalchichaPolaca]

awesome way of teaching, master!!

[liftercatcher]

Let the hair grow! The vids are aswesome!

[MaXG65]

It's just to sad that the peace prize has become such a farce that it would chose Al Gore over someone like Irena Sendler for the award!

SAVE A TREE! WIPE YOUR ASS WITH AN OWL!

[aesfubar]

lol i love it how he side tracts!! all great teachers do that!

[pitviper12345]

lol anyone knows the bushy haired professor's name?

[blacksmithdog1]

Professor Martyn Poliakoff CBE FRS.

[Ampelios]

I love these videos...

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

same here. i never was interested in chemistry, but these videps somehow make in good!

[DrBones666]

There are no uninteresting subjects, only uninteresting teachers. I really like this gentleman. Like all good teachers, he makes the subject approachable and human.

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

when i though of what you said, you're actually very right. and he is a very very good teacher

[DrBones666]

I was a student at the UW-Milwaukee in the late 80's. My Physics 101 prof was so great. First he's have a demo and everyone would go "ohhh... ahhhh...." and then he'd diagram out the vectors and whatnot so you'd understand what you just saw. Only then did he give you the math so that you could predict what would happen. Easiest A and the most info retained of any class ever.

[censor1934]

Why do they do new versions? I'm not complaining, just asking.

[Mjolnir258]

To improve upon the other ones I guess. Do better...

[pete804]

normally the new ones have better reactions

and they explain more

[CitizenErased2007]

:O he got a haicut :'( ! unsubscribed !!!!

Just kidding :P keep up with the great videos and grow back that fro mister !

[rockcrabs13]

lol i said the same :P

[xdfgf]

Another great one!

[HAMMERON825]

more more !

[andrebrannan1953]

He's had a hair cut, thats why they made a new video!

[Findulidas]

You better respect the doc man! He got the style.

[limlynn999]

Cool video

[strek0655]

Lovely!

[klutz22]

Awesome video!

[lvecsey]

MacGyver is known for running out of sheds with packs/crates of dynamite. Maybe handling that material wasn't so dangerous after all?

[kurtilein3]

lvecsey:

actually, dynamite is alfred nobels discovery.

before that, they used liquid nitroglycerine for example. and this explosive oil might go off just because you look at it angrily. if you bind nitroglycerine using the hollow shells of marine algae, you get dynamite, which is MUCH safer than nitroglycerine. actually, dynamite is always packed using paper and wood so that nitroglycerine that leaves the compound can evaporate and doesnt collect at any sealed surface.

[toxicXsharpie]

you make me feel smart xD

[BlacPlague]

Damn good video

[Markflafer69]

I personaly do not prefer to learn out of school but these are enjoyable.

[Osirus1156]

I love these videos.

[88metallica88]

i like how the nobel has nothing to do with the name, and the vid has nothing to do with the element, only the name lolol

[multaflor]

martyn have my babies!!!

[TomMarAlem1987]

You must've had too much coffee or sugar and don't know where to use the energy.

[ninja4flying]

Love you guys.

Keep up the good work!

[WokSz]

Very good video. Thank you.

[claytorpedo]

neat! I always wondered why that was often put in small explosives!

[JumpStop1]

i <3 science because of you guys!

[zuzerey]

Keep making videos, I love them!!
