  • Fake rubbish also Hamster and Tickle are very annoying, did he say "rubbish science videos"?......

  • "Rubbish science videos"... yet these dishonest clowns fake their own video for a paycheck. This isn't helping science - it's helping perpetuate distrust.

    Shame on you.

  • @eiryn24 What, and learn nothing?

  • @doomknightsepulchure Oh I know they do. They spark and even explode, but Mythbusters proved the final video where the tub explodes is bullshit. They even added twice as much and 3 times as much Cesium as these people added and the tub didn't even crack. Same tub too. They needed a C4 charge to make the tub do that!!

  • @Stevesrssrssrs Buddy, Alkali metals do react that way. I read the periodic table everyday.

  • Just amazing Mme Bodart (vous voyez que j'écoute ce que vous me dites!)

  • I really couldn't care less this show was awesome, I mean who wouldn't want to do what they did!

  • 1:52 wires to detonator.

  • @ndavid120 Caesium*

  • Its top gun not top gear guys

  • hamster! thumbs up if you like top gear!

  • Francium has a 1/2 life of 22 minutes I think and there is an estimated 50g in the earth's crust at any time (I think 10,000 atoms is the maximum amount ever collected). So no, they wouldn't let them have francium, but if I had some I'd be willing to give it to Hammond especially if Clarkson and May were in the vicinity too.

    This is just another example of lazy science on tv.
