  • I don't get why there are so many dislike. He obviously knew the candle wasn't going to blow up. He wanted to make the kids feel agitated and expectant, only to throw them a disappointing fact that nitrogen doesn't catch fire. It's how people will learn. Or was it because he didn't dip the burning candle into the liquid? There's really no point. Nitrogen, liquid or gas, simply won't explode or catch fire.

    • Big Bang. The quark-gluon plasma cools, allowing nucleons to form. Clouds of hydrogen and helium gas collapse, forming the first stars. The largest stars explode, seeding the Universe with heavier elements. The sun forms. The earth forms. Life arises. Life evolves. Dinosaurs rule the planet. Dinosaurs are wiped out, allowing for the rise of mammals. Life evolves. Humans create language and art, master fire, build tools and learn agriculture. Civilization arises. Humans aren't completely occupied with survival, so there's time to discover how the world works. Chemistry, physics, biology, math and all of the other sciences develop. People learn how to liquefy nitrogen. KZhead is invented. A video is made of a lit candle being placed in a container of liquid nitrogen. The video is uploaded. You click on a link. You arrive here. Elapsed time, about 13.798 billion years.

  • I deeply appreciated this video. I am in college majoring in science, and I had picked the "N2 will just put out the flame option", but was still on edge and built on suspense that I was probably going to be proven wrong, SOLELY based on the fact that you seemed to be inferring that an explosion was going to happen. Not only had I anticipated an explosion the first time, but also the second. This video really teaches the importance of learning how to think for yourself and trusting the laws of the universe to be able to predict outcomes, and not the spoken word of somebody else. I also think you made the whole experiment much more exciting through your presentation, and more likely to be remembered than if you had presented the experiment plainly. The result was honestly disappointing, but if one could see the beauty in the disappointment, a deeper appreciation for our judgement could be obtained.

    • Gregg Macey If the title were "Liquid Nitrogen + Fire = EPIC EXPLOSION!!!" or "My jaw hit the floor when fire was put into liquid nitrogen and then THIS happened!!!" then, yes, I would agree that those would be leading you to expect something... grander. As it is, the title consists of four words, three of which directly describe what's being dealt with in the video. The fourth word is a conjunction and can't really be faulted for being there. If those four words caused you to expect an explosion, it's because you JUMPED TO A CONCLUSION based on the minimal, factual data you were given. The jumping occurred within your own head and isn't the fault of the title. Disappointing? Sure. But that's sometimes what happens when one jumps to a conclusion.

    • Completely agree. I almost didn't finish my lady semester in college because I stayed home and just watched fascinating documentaries to subjects I NEVER was taught in school on KZhead and listened to audiobooks and things like that. When I would come into school it felt like a real joke and nightmare for myself - overcrowding, lack of materials, bad attitudes by professors and students alike, complete lack of information and worse, misinformation...money wasted to pay for overpriced GMO crap on campus and expensive metro fare. I have learned more on KZhead in 4 months than I had my entire 17 years in public school institutions. You have to teach yourself these days with America's teaching institutions collapsing and lack of book stores selling affordable books and closing libraries. If you are really curious and hungry for knowledge, there are public free databases (most require money) like jstor that will give you great academic articles on different subjects going back decades. Have a good one, and keep enrichment alive!

Hydrogen is *fused* within the sun to produce helium, and the mass difference (4 individual protons are more massive than a helium nucleus) shows up as energy via the well known equation E = mc^2.

I remember he would use a wooden stick to point.. and it was like 3 weeks into the school year and people looked so bored.. no one seemed to care.. Finally someone asked a question about whatever it was that we were learning. He got so excited he went to point at the board with his stick, and ended up hooking the corner of his glasses and launching them across the room by complete accident.. The poor guy was so excited that someone was paying attention. I remember everyone laughing for 10 minutes and I remembered how embarrassed he was. I hope he's still teaching, he was amazingly passionate about it.

This is a quality that is lacking in so many teachers over here in the UK. when I was 13-14 we had to actively seek out our education in science without the schools help because the teachers were unwilling to help us further our knowledge of the world. Subsequently about 50 children in my year suffered in our chemistry classes due to the unwillingness of teachers and the difficulty of getting hold of chemicals at such a young age to do home experiments. Sorry about rant but I would of loved a teacher who got this involved with his lessons over a useless teacher who just taught us the periodic table every chemistry lesson making our lessons a massive yawn fest.
