  • Ergo, please make more. This is far better than anything on the Science (oooooAncient Aliens 2012, Things not actual Science) Channel. :)

  • I love your videos with passion.

  • Love your videos ,but its wrong to say without copper there wud be no Electricity. There are other conductors like aluminium etc. Less efficient but they can do the job

  • Your kid is going to be pissed off that you trashed their trumpet...

  • @Exarian Yes, Diamond. More thermally conductive than copper (about 4x so I think) and doesn't conduct electricity. Not sure about the other way around though, I can't think of any off the top of my head.

  • you forgot one more property of copper, it is also antibacterial!!!!!

  • This makes me regret not going to UIUC when I had the chance o-o Damn T_T

  • They actually billed you for the water usage? What is our education system going to? Greedy bastards.

  • he did not just dump the trumpet in water !
