I went through the microscopes and telescopes as a young child. I became aware of chemistry around 9 years old when I learned how to make gunpowder. Back then you could get sodium nitrate and sulfur at the corner drug store. I began experimenting with formulae and methods of making, increasing the charcoal % and grinding under alcohol and evaporating to “plugs” I used as rocket fuel. I had some spectacular failures and still have all my digits.

On your site- I love that baby picture of Neil!

It'd probably be just three to five minutes of silence.

We mixed a copper (ii) fluoride solution into a beaker and places a strip of aluminum into it. It started to realease energy and produce heat and that really hooked me be cause I wanted to work with other chemicals that I have yet to interact with. Also 5 words: periodic table of the elements.

From when I was about 6 all I wanted for Christmas was a microscope! I wanted to see everything! I got one when I was about 7 and I decided to look at a tiny, tiny bit of cheese, then I thought, I wonder what it looks like moldy! Lol! So I put it away for a while, but then forgot about it! 1 year later I found it again hen we moved house....and it smelled quite bad haha! But now I really love chemistry, and I'm 14 years old :)

I've been watching your videos from the first to the most current for the last week or so. Loved the short video of Neil at the end. He's certainly a man of few words :)

@linjedomarn99 That was from an experiment involving an alkali metal. Potassium I think.
