In this platinum documentary, we explore platinum mining, science, history, and the future outlook for this truly unique commodity.
As one of the lesser known, but nonetheless vital precious metals, platinum has a long history of being used for jewelry and ornamentation, reaching back to the ancient Egyptian empire, having been discovered on a coffin unearthed in Thebes, estimated to be from the 7th century BC.
Modern day uses of platinum include being a key element in catalytic converters for vehicles , as a catalyst in the chemical industry, and even in the creation of life-saving anti-cancer drugs.
In this platinum documentary, we explore this exclusive metal that befuddled miners and scientists alike when it was first discovered. Dubbed ‘platina’ or ‘little silver’ by the Spanish Conquistadors, the truth is, platinum is so much more than meets the eye.

Back in the 1970's I was given a piece of rock from a mining company in South Africa with a 3mm wide vein of platinum and gold running through it, from the Merensky Reef, Rustenberg Platinum mines. I still have this rock sample today. It also triggered off a lifetime interest in Geology and collecting mineral specimens from across the world.

I used to work in analytical chemistry where we'd use platinum for the electrolytic deposition of copper. One day we spent hours trying to find a platinum anode that had gone missing, after 4 hours we gave up. Next day the facility electrician was wondering why his soldering iron wasn't melting a piece of solder, even though it was hot. He'd picked up the platinum electrode thinking it was a piece of tin/silver solder that he'd left behind!

Platinum is way undervalued for how rare it is

@CommodityCulture Год назад

Platinum is a purely industrial commodity, therefore it's rarity does not correlate with its price. It is priced for demand from industry, if it wasn't used for industrial purposes, it's value would essentially be zero.

@MrAnderson352 Месяц назад

It really depends on how long they can keep the lie going eventually people will want something real and platinum will make an excellent currency along with other rare metals.

I used to be a silver-plating room operator for a medical device manufacturer. During my training, I was told that platinum is actually the best metal conductor of electrical current, but silver was a good cost-efficient alternative. The two years I spent on that job sparked an interest in chemistry (metallurgy in particular) that I wish I'd discovered in high school. This is a fascinating video, and I thank you for sharing it!

8:45 The purpose of the French Geodesic Mission to the Equator was NOT to prove that the Earth wasn't flat (it's not), and it was not then widely believed (nor for many centuries before then) that the Earth was flat. The main purpose of the mission was to measure the length of a degree of latitude near the Equator, and thereby to calculate the Earth's radius. Part of the purpose was also to determine whether the Earth was wider around the Equator or around the poles.

No, you were correct. An accurate clock is critical for determining longitude.

Determining one's latitude is easy and can be accomplished by several straightforward methods without a clock.

Platinum is even less reactive than gold and used as catalyst more often. The only reason why gold is more expensive because of Human emotional and cultural reason (it is easier to use gold as currency due to its relative abundance). Hence higher trading volume leads to higher price.

One note: The objective of the expedition in which António de Ulloa participated, wanted to identify precisely the shape of the Earth (how flattened is the Earth Globe in the Poles) not to demonstrate whether the Earth is flat. They needed to measure a meridian to do that. (Actually, to measure 2 meridians, the other in Lapland). Another note: Everybody knew in 1735 that the Earth is NOT flat. The expedition Magellan-El Cano (1519-1522), founded by the Spanish Crown had gone around the Globe: matter put to rest. I have found the rest of the clip very interesting.

The expedition in which Antonio de Ulloa participated didn't aim to prove that the Earth was spherical - this fact was never doubted, at least in scholarly circles, for centuries at the time. It went about more subtle matter - how much does the Earth deviate from being spherical. The theory of Newton predicted that, due to the Earth's rotation, the Earth is to be a flattened, so that a degree at the equator will be slightly smaller than that near the pole. There was a competing theory by Descartes, that, instead of the Universal Gravity Law, tried to explain the movement of the planets by some kind of ethereal currents engulfing them. According to this theory, the Earth was to be elongated. The French, who organized the expeditions, hoped to prove Descartes to be right, but ended up proving Newton.
