Him saying "pretty cool" while staring at it makes me think he wants to lick it to know what it tastes like..
Don't lick the Science.
Geologists often do
Why did I also think that?! 😅
I mean Nile does taste and lick a lot of his experiments so that makes sense
I was expecting that too😅
"Should I taste it?😃"
Yes
Yes you may get an award. A Darwin award
I was sure he’d put it in his mouth at the last second. 😅☢️😋
@@quagernag thats what she said xD
Swallow ..
"So this is definitively radioactive" Next scene "It is pretty cool" while holding it close to his face.
These doses are completely safe
Wasn't even close enough to recieve that entirely safe dosage. Much worse per hour of commercial airplane flight.
@@ZerosiiniFINno it’s not. Go get radio active rocks and play with them since it’s so safe
@@lawrencemalone-px6qe all rocks are slightly radioactive. Are you saying all rocks are dangerous? It's more likely that there's just a threshold between safety and danger
@@lawrencemalone-px6qe You get more radiation standing out in the sun then from holding that rock
Bro immediately lost his smile the moment he was told it could be radioactive for real. 😂
They should test a banana next.
@@PervyAutomatonand watch them really freak out.
Canada Post, “this package is spiking the radiation meters, should we call anti-terrorism?” Manager: “Nah, it’s going to NileBlue, it’s fine.”
Based on what?
124 is hardly deadly
It's very mild. I have a piece I've kept in my room for ages
It went higher. Pretty sure it's still harmless unless you do something stupid like make a trinitite smoothie.@@alltimenative

“ it’s pretty radioactive” Proceeds to hold it barehanded lol
You also get radiation as you breathe and hold electronics! ... And stand outside in the sun. Radiation just itself is interesting in how it works overall, as some is mostly completely safe then there's gamma radiation of which would be lethal in a lower dose than others. Along with Caesium-137. It all will vary on the dose of radiation you get. You'll get a *ton* more radiation from a simple dentist x-ray than that rock. So he is safe.
Fun fact you experience 100 times normal background radiation when traveling by air.
@@klutzspecter3470 good thing I travel by car or motorbike
@@dragonvibin2188his point is the rock is harmless
@@Chadius_Thundercock I get it. I just found it funny. Hence the laugh out loud
"its beeping quite a lot" That Geiger counter was off more than it beeped, you should be worried when the beep never ends
Yep😂😂😂
"still radioactive" proceeds to hold it in his hand to admire it
Well, 80 CPM isn't that much more radioactive than normal air. He has much more radioactive things, that have around 17000 CPM if I remember correctly
@@maximax5471 CPMs are not a measure of actual radioactivity, he should've changed the unit to sieverts instead
@@enricomontanari1390 you do realize most of these modern geiger counters (especially tube based) use CPM to calculate the measurement in uSv or even mSv.
We're bombarded with radiation from the sun and cosmic rays 24/7. This was only 5-10 times greater than that background radiation. His fingers got the same dose from this rock as they would have just from existing for a few minutes. It's not even enough to register compared to what he/we get in a day normally.
@@maximax5471 it wasnt 80cpm. it was 370 and rising.
Now for the flavor test
There was actually a guy years ago who would claim radioactive stuff wasn’t harmful and licked some uranium and handled it all the time. He died at age 82 but I believe it was from something induced by radiation.
Take me to favor town..👅
@@Pe1ayo well, he wasn't wrong, Uranium rock is actually not that harmful. The harmful part comes from the enrichment process.
Forbidden jolly rancher
Trinitite is scattered all over the place if you go to the Trinity test site. Which people can just visit.
Yeah, but it's technically illegal to remove the trinitite from the location.
@@MrThatguyandrewThe guy got scammed
Bet someone is making a killing shoveling rocks to envelopes anyway.
@@stellviahohenheim Ah yes, they just happened to find some OTHER radioactive rock...
@@stellviahohenheim Not necessarily so, samples were collected, before a law was passed making it illegal to collect, that are grandfathered. Proving provenance might be difficult on undocumented samples though.

Nile contemplating the unmitigated destruction of nuclear warfare: "It's pretty cool"
"WAIT, THIS COULD BE RADIOACTIVE?" *instantly ghoulifies*
Anyone wondering this is barely radioactive, This is 370 CPM for comparison 1 microSeivert p/h (μSv/hr) is about 120 CPM this is the average background radiation, so 370 CPM is about 3 times the average background radiation and is only concentrated on the rock, for comparison your entire body receives 6.9 μSv/hr (828 CPM) during a CT scan, the legal limit for background radiation in the work place is 20 μSv/hr (2,400 CPM) even if you were to cover yourself in a rock with 370 CPM you would still not pass the legal limit let alone the lethal does, which for comparison is about as low as 7,000 μSv/hr (980,000 CPM) but can be as high as 10,000 μSv/hr (1,200,000 CPM) Does this mean he’s being exposed to a dose of 3 μSv/hr of radiation, actually no, this is where size matters, the rock is very small and the only place receiving a dose this high would only be the top layer of skin on his hand, another factor is he’s only exposed to it for really short periods of time, so realistically this is completely safe. The factor that affects how much radiation you receive isn’t the energy output, but the amount of energy absorbed.
"Nice, what is that?" "Idk, my friend was buying some used measuring device on ebay" he takes out his phone: "Mom, listen to me carefully. I've accumulated some debts. It's important that you all reject the inheritance. Wendy will probably have to reject the inheritance in name of her unborn child as well.

Thank you, was looking for the math and comparisons to other radioactive materials on this

You aren't really in danger until the counter goes monotone
The next video: *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
A CPM reading of at least 100 is considered a warning level by the Radiation Network, although the length of time you're exposed to the radiation is an important factor.
@@The1CoolPop my own counter occasionally sees 100+ spikes just from ambient radiation, though i can't help but wonder how much of that is cosmic rays and how much is just noise from its own source. That said, obviously I'm not saying hang around on a 300 cpm environment and disregard its presence, I'm just saying that it takes an awful lot more than that to warrant great concern beyond common sense safety procedures (don't leave it out, don't eat it, probably store it in a radiation sealed capsule while you aren't using it, etc)
Technically, this was monotone
Turn the bipping duration to be very short, and you would never be in danger of radioactivity.
Get a radiacode to prove its fission products instead of natural occurring thorium or uranium
"I got a package for you" "What is it?" "Cancer"
Markiplier with radioactive cups: Get it away from me! Nigel with radioactive rock: Its pretty cool.
Its barely radiactive, that amount is perfectly safe as long as you dont wear it as a pendant against your chest all day every day or consume it

You're right it's not small it's above average
It has a great personality!
You’re***
You might even call it huge!
I bet it’s really funny
*you’re *it’s
The only way that sample would be hazardous to you is if ingested or inhaled it. You can find things in antique stores that are significantly more radioactive and even those are pretty safe. The average smoke detector is much more radioactive.
no and no and just no huge difference in radiations so just because something i blowing 600cpm and a smoke detector is 2000cpm its all depended on what it is Gamma rays are the most harmful external hazard. Beta particles can partially penetrate skin, causing “beta burns”. Alpha particles cannot penetrate intact skin. Gamma and x-rays can pass through a person damaging cells in their path. so simply telling people on the internet its safe to hold is ridiculous
sorry little buddy but small amounts of any type of ionizing radiation is harmless as long as not ingested, it's basic research
You should also keep it in a well ventilated area. One of the decay products of U235 is Radon gas. If you leave radioactive items in an enclosed container it will block the alpha and beta radiation, but the radioactive radon gas could build up to harmful levels and be inhaled when you open it. Radon is also a decay product of Radium, which was used in antique watch dials. A study by the university of Northampton found that a collection of 30 radon watches stored in a badly ventilated room had 134 times the recommended safe level of radiation. There isn't much research on this route of exposure so better be safe than sorry.
@@RealUlrichLeland That is absolutely terrifying. Radiation is truly evil stuff.
A lot and I mean a LOT of people have radon gas in their basements/crawl spaces/cellars, etc. Some people go to great measures to evacuate it, many don't even know its there. And billions have lived with it with no implications. Honestly, not something im even remotely concerned about, there's a lot more things you should be before radon.
I can only imagine how much something like that would cost...
"This can kill you." Humans, for some reason: "That’s pretty cool"
The face shift of neil founding out that could still be radioactive 😂😂😂

That's one of the coolest things to have. Memory from the first nuclear bomb which set a whole lot into motion
This guy gets it
First nuclear bomb in modern times. The Sahara region is full of that stuff.
A memento of dark portents
@@josephr4761 No, first nuclear bomb ever. You probably don't understand that it takes a LOT of energy to split an atom.
@@Techno_Idioto I just gave the same answer that Oppenheimer gave. Trinitite didn't just magically appear all over the Sahara. Something had to create it.
I love the way he casually put it down knowing it may be radioactive.
370 cpm is around 2.1 microsieverts per hour, while the average background radiation people are exposed to is around 2.4 microsieverts per hour. This trinitite isn't really dangerous and it's also likely the geiger counter is picking up background radiation.
"Its a nice slim package. Oh, its a very small thing." Where have I heard that before?

Did we just witness the beginning of a slow “murder” case. Kidding
For those curious, this is well within safe levels of background radiation for short exposure times. 370CPM is 2.109mSv
Not great, not terrible
If you look carefully you can see Oppenheimer's hair
Come on that rocks. Radiation level only compares to about 3 bananas.
Hearing those people scream in that video at the beginning was heart wrenching. God. The fact that I was 7 when this horrible disaster happened makes it all the more real.
after the radioactive glass video, I think his body has developed immunity to radioactivity
No he hasn't. It's simply that the doses are too low to pose any harm. There is nothing dangerous about the stone in this video.
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 bro its a joke chill
@@lightbulb8888do you always interpret literally everything as angry? People love that, you should keep it up.
@@_Epidemic_ Probably anything that says "No x hasn't" with an explanation at the end is too much for his peanut brain to handle.
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 Radiation type is also significant, Trinitite releases alpha and beta radiation, which cannot penetrate the skin like Gamma radiation. He would need to have the source of radiation bypass his skin barrier for it to access the cells/DNA to damage it.
whole video, stone hype and stuff end of video, Nigels tone saying "its pretty cool" being so sincere, its an actual piece of history, that the common person never comes close to hold.
fun fact: At the Trinity site here in New Mexico, they had to put a rule in for people to stop stealing trinitite from the site because *so many people* were doing it. 😅
A very scary part of history
That's pretty cool. I live in New Mexico. They open the Trinity Site once a year to the public and will even let you take trinitite from there.

Cool deal. A permanent heater for your MREs.
Depending on Element Radioactivity lasts longer in it, Metal being the one where it stays in longest and Air about where it dissapates the fastest, Thus meaning modern cities with tons of metal are dangerous if radioactivity emerges from somwhere.

They sell it at a roadside stand on the way to the Trinity site. You can pick it up from the site itself. They explain that some houshold products emit more radition than the Trinitite to allay your fears if you go there.

@@mytmousemalibuplus, uranium and plutonium are alpha emitters. they can’t penetrate skin, let alone cause harm at that low of an emission rate.
The dose he got was tiny, only a few times greater than the background radiation he would have gotten from cosmic rays. TL;DR: The dose he got is comparable to the dose he would get just by existing for 5-10 times longer than he held the rock. Hold the rock for 30 seconds? Same dose as he'd get just standing around for 5 minutes.
the sun is also definitely radioactive, will you proceed to go outside? edit: that sounds really mean actually, I didnt mean it that way
The guy who took that rock off of the Trinity test site committed a felony to sell you that piece of Trinitite. Stay safe my man.
