  • He does another skill. He is a great teacher! Not only he teaches in classrooms where he is loved by his students (cupcake periodic table), he also captivates and teaches lots of us around the world via Youtube. Thank you!

  • @adfgfds I totaly agree!!

  • @Serostern

    Exactly. Was going to mention that he has an amazing skill at explaining things in ways everyone can understand. And makes it fun in the process :-)

  • I am only at :50 seconds and I have to comment...I am a chemistry major, and I hate being put on the spot when asked by friends to mentions a chemistry relation to whatever it is mainly because I know I am too dumb to think or something witty to say, or do not know a chemistry relationship.

    You know a person is at their ideal level, and well suited for a job when they do not find such a request intimidating and pull it off without issues or worries. We are in hands of a great teacher.

  • Here's an easy chemistry fact about the Opera House. The air conditioning system uses the sea water from Sydney harbour in it's heat exchangers. The way they stop all the pipe work from corroding from the salt is that they use Zinc Sacrificial Anodes. The Zinc Anode corrodes first protecting the other metal pipes.

  • I LOVE CLASSICAL :D

  • Hidden skill? KUNG FU!!! SHAOLIN STYLE!!!

  • Borodin was a brilliant composer. Personally I find Russian classical music to be much more exciting than all other kinds.

  • The only opera I ever liked was the turret opera. ;)

  • "i love it. i'm just obsess with chemistry." I wish i had a teacher like him. :-(
