The Magic of Chemistry - with Andrew Szydlo 

Sad to see teachers/students not really passionate about their subject

@@menest1442 It really is. Back when i was in middle school i had a teacher that was really passionate in teaching science and she *made* me learned it even though im not really interested. And now im trying to learn more about the world of chemistry. But nowadays the teacher in my class just doesn't really care about the subject nor their students. ps: sorry for bad english

@@khaiwriel4238 Sorry to hear that hope you find a wonderful mentor

Cuz if its not on your phone what good is it rite?

most stuff is not the slightest funny or interesting when it is forced on you

He’s prepping the young kids to figure it out. You know , leaving a little mystery to discover for themselves.

@@chemomancer so you are telling me that he doesn't have a formal education? I knew about that and chemistry wasn't my strong suit.

@@chemomancer He is a demonstrator of science phenomenon, not a scientist as such. Plenty of mistakes here made by this "expert"

@@emanuelmifsud6754 he has a PhD… pretty sure he is an expert.

Just out of curiosity, did you become a chemist? :D

He didn't want the clapping because this was being taped for television. Clapping takes a lot of time and thus must be edited out. When your trying to tape a 90 minutes special, you must allow for intro and outro, credits and possibly commercials unless it's sponsored like it would be in America for PBS. I took broadcast journalism in college for 1 semester. Learned a lot.

@DeeJay1210 He didn't have any complaints about the massive applause he got at the end though. And his demonstration style very much shows that he is very experienced as a performer. I have a strong feeling that the whole "I'm not here for applause" was part of the performance, for whatever reason. Whenever someone is speaking to an audience, you shouldn't implicitly believe everything they say is the whole truth, or even true at all. - Wayne Gretzky - Michael Scott

@DeeJay1210 It's a performance, he can give a reason that immediately appeals and makes sense to children. Nobody has wacky conspiracies. Nothing you said was technically wrong, but you're missing the point, specifically other peoples.

@DeeJay1210 Also it bugs me that you use ` and not ' like it`s when it should be it's. Unless that's just your thing or something. U do U ig lol

@DeeJay1210 He doesn`t want them to clap because the clapping takes time out of the allotted time slot. What he said was not indicative of this, yet both reasons hold truth. You are using one of the truths as a counter argument to the other when they`re not mutually exclusive. That`s my point`

😂 👌 🍻

His performance is extraordinary and heart warming. ❤

He is a master teacher indeed. First because he conveys his sincere enthusiasm, and second he fully internalized the knowledge.

Agreed

And passion too

The power of the human brain.

@@umuta1969 you forgot. HE IS NOT THERE FOR APPLAUSE !!!

humble?, it make me feel uncomfortable by denying a natural applause for a presentation, and being entertained not because people actually believed is magical,

@@albertroswell I understand the guy's sentiment, but after the 2nd or 3rd time, I skipped ahead everytime the audience started clapping because it was so uncomfortable hearing him.

@@albertroswell But do you clap every time you drive a car though?

@@albertroswell It's because its basic chemistry, if you were highly knowledgeable in a particular subject, chances are, you wouldn't seek gratification from something so simple. It's like if you're an electrical engineer, the applause wouldn't feel deserved if you just made sparks and everyone was amazed by it.

@@toby2668 I mean people clap when the plane lands 😂😂

"machine gun" is perfect. I tried to measure him and he's not below a monster average of 150 words per minute. The video is 1h 22 min, which makes 12k+ words in total.

^ this, I like this

He should allow applause and then give the credit to whom it belongs....God.

@@colemanadamson5943 I nearly fell off my chair after reading that last word

It sorta felt arrogant to me. I don't know exactly why, but it felt condescending - like "I'll tell you what to appreciate and when!" He honestly could've given that speech at the end and just talked through all the applause instead.

WelfareChrist but he said im not here for applause.... not "dont clap right now dummies"

He's mastered anxiety and is now able to talk casually to huge crowds...I wish I had that power instead of hiding behind my keyboard.

He breathes at 1:00:41 !! 😄

@@deadmanperipherals dude! great comment about hiding behind the keyboard. Idk, the fact that you are self-aware makes me think that maybe you are done hiding behind it )

U mean, anaerobic respiration

the reasons it's not as noticeable is because hes breathing every few words so they are much smaller quick breaths

😂😂😂 same here

But l couldn't understand what he said in 14:14 can you explain this for me ?

...so I'm not the only one.

😂

6:02

XD LOL troll

I only just realised that it was an hour and 22 mins long when I read ur comment, damn that went by pretty quickly lolol 😂😂

U must be a depressed youth

couldn't have said it better.

True if most people would develop their minds a bit more by reading and educating themselves the world would have been 10x better

He has much information to convey and little time to waste 😃

I also like the speed at which he talks. Others who speak too slow lose my attention too quickly or I have to speed up the video

Ayo i was saying the same..get my man some tea please😂

Seems as if he had planned a 2.5 hours long lecture, but the RI cut his time short at the last minute, so he had to speed it up.

He’s definitely wired. Look at him

And yet he wears his microphone backwards. Just goes to show that even the most brilliant minds need help.

Yes, but he's lucky to have an inherently interesting subject. How would he do if he had to explain spreadsheets or setting tabs on a word processor page?

@@HO-bndk Spreadsheets? Have you heard of Matt Parker? Festival of the Spoken Nerd? Comedy routines *about* Spreadsheets!!! 😮 Look it up!!!🤔🙄😊

It’s guys like this who create things like atomic bombs just because it excites them , this guy is way too into fire 🔥 destructive humans 👽 lets get a load of kids in a room and play with fire 🔥 wtf? 😂🤣

Thank you finally someone who gets it. I'm so tired o hearing teachers say "we're teachers we're here to teach not to entertain".

They will remember a set of spectacular experiments and that's it. After some time they'll forget what substances were part of it and they'll just remember that sometimes when you mix stuff it changes colour or if you light it up it goes "pop". To know why, to create new experiments, to deeply understand what's going on you need to sit down and read a (more or less) boring book and do some (more or less) boring exercises and failed practice runs. Yes, it's awesome to see something spectacular once in awhile and it gives you and idea of what you're going towards, but you can't say that every lesson should look like that. I think the trick is to make the "more or less boring" stuff less boring. Great educators, like Feynman, are able to do this. But it's not always boom crack whoosh. Most of the time it's just equations.

The wise man is known by his common sense, and a pleasant teacher is the best.

nope, I have lots of kids who witnessed amazing experiments, but after one month its just nothing about the experiments in their heads.

Yes, but it's very hard to do it 8 - 10 hours a day for below average wage in front of a crowded class of children where majority either does not care or sabotages your effort. Of course this guy is great, but not every teacher is blessed to work in good conditions. Let's try to be fair, please.

Hi and Hello. I gather people for a good cause: I wanna provide people with Links leading to bad or toxic people. Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i need help with reporting them. RU-vid is in a bad state and i think you heard of that. Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan. But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something? So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use. You can at least pre-emptive 'block user' regarding the Racists and all those, but you can also do one thing more and report them, so YT becomes a better place. I know this was random and also overly summarized, but think about it and consider. You can make a difference. Means: I gathered and confirmed many Links. And made a Wiki to provide the Public with them. Wanna help, too?

Oh! Wait! This took more than an hour!? Just realized that.

i too totally lost track of time

No one will ask me to remember anything he said, that is why. They might ask me why i stayed up until 4 in the night watching, and my only explanation is that the lecture is 82 minutes long. 82 minutes, that is a long time for a lecture.

1.18 million

I remember similar lectures at the University of Ottawa Christmas series (available to the public) over 40 years ago. I'd enjoy them as a kid (4-8 yrs old). Yes, I understood at that age. Chemistry, mineralogy have been my "fun" for years, tho, I've shifted to video games. Our youth needs to get back into the sciences.,

@@mattmartineau6018 /r/iamverysmart

There is very little science instruction going on here, just a bunch of "Wow. look at the explosions i can make." Her is fun to watch, but I would not want him teaching science. I say this as a physics/chemistry/astronomy instructor with 33 years experience.

@@wayneyadams It is meant to make People say "wow, that is so cool! I want to know how this works!" I am 15 y/o and I have already learned most of this ( I do sciences ) but this is meant to be seen by people like the Original commenter, who may not have learned all of this (or have forgotten it).

I want to know more about this guy. So....

@@wayneyadams If the choice is between a science extravaganza under the direction of an instructor invited to do lectures at RI _multiple times_ or one by someone feeling the need to self-aggrandize at his expense........you have a guess. Make an experiment out of it. Side note: Szydlo has taught science since 1972.

i dont understand what age has to do with it. but im 36. And love tons of topic!

+John Naranjo humble or not that's an other thing but the reason why he say no to applause in middle of his lecture it's because he is a scientist not a clown (like in a circus) but after he finish he will accept it

+Khalid Ikan so claps are meant for circus "only", hmmmm didn't know that

Oni Akuma no I never say that, it just he is a scientist who want to transmettre his knowldge to the next generation not a man who wait for applause for every experiment he do if he want that he will go to some show theatre not in the middle of an universty

+Khalid Ikan The audience clapped because they were engaged and was impressed with the demonstration. Accepting an applause doesn't make you any less humble or less of a scientist. It's probably just his personality.

jk jellyfish maybe you're right

Any idea why tea specifically?

@@DasAntiNaziBroetchen because he's British

@@DasAntiNaziBroetchen Tea is as important to us in the UK as oxygen. We can go without it for a short time but we pass out if we have to go too long. Tea is a fundamental part of British culture. No other drink will do.

Joshua Rosen iced tea?

Me too! I kept asking myself if it was part of it hahah

Edit 3 and more fire

Edit, in that order.

He's dehydrated all the time because he spends all his free time around massive roaring fires.

Tea is a diuretic hahaha

Perfect numbers on your likes 444

@@wayneyadams actually he did explain quite a lot of chemistry behind all of this, but you might have missed it if you didn't pay attention. Also, besides having the knowledge, it's extremely important - as a teacher - to know how to convey this knowledge in a way that engages the students and keeps them focused, which this guy totally does. Not every man who is knowledgeable is a good teacher precisely for lacking this skill, but this man totally nails it

A lot of teachers could have learned a thing or two about teaching from him. He's amazing.

if we paid teachers better more of them would be like him

Yeah if you in Jr High...

If he was my 4th grade science teacher I'm sure I would have been more interested in science.

At the beginning of the movie: "there's no WAY I'm watching a chemistry video that's an hour and 22 minutes long" An hour and 22 minutes of not blinking later: "sonofabitch, that was awesome"

Its not magic :]

Rightly so. Very curious. Need more of these types of knowledge transfers

These kind of demos used to be common place in college. Students don't find them exiting enough these days.

Imagine the invaluable advancements he can contribute to the art of chemistry (Prior accomplishments hath already been validated organized and accounted for )

Great display of thermodynamics aswell

But dang he is entertaining, and I actually learned a bit of chemistry

Apparently the audience is incompetent of listening

@@danielbartlett122219 yeah the guy wasnt there for cheap claps like a circus performer lol he was teaching and yeah they didnt listen one bit when he said please dont clap

@@jonathanodude6660 wdym? i am an engineer but I can't play any musical instrument.

No it isn't. Very little content, all fluff. No teacher in their right mind would jump from demo to demo to demo, from thermochem to gas laws to this and that.

hes a self made chemist xD and with the 1st trick he used gun powder to tell you that cough syrup and asprin will burst into flames in your stomack if you drink water :'D

@@porterwake3898 hey genius the title of this lecture is "Magic of chemistry"

if only i can turn back time... i've just realized for a while now how much i wanted to study chemistry... and this vid just made me want it more. i've just graduated college just for the sake of finishing it, but once i save up in a few years i'll study it i swore to myself.

I majored in Chemistry and hated it - due to my lecturers stressing on research and PhDs, rather than applications and how one can contribute to humanity. What my lecturers did was concentrate on how to get accolades for yourself - and in the process, boost their fame

You comment makes me scroll back up to see was this uploaded, "2014". Been 6 years now, well better late than never they say ;) Also those teachers pushing you for the degrees, that's what capitalism doing.

We know how, but not why. We just got good at explaining the physical laws of matter. It's magic redefined. It's alchemy. Transmutation. A legitimate part of modern science. We still don't understand it.

@@ronhempfield5043 I disagree to am extent. Alchemy's biggest goal was to turn lead into gold. And even though radioactive decay makes it possible, it isn't possible in the way alchemists thought. This is why alchemy lead to chemistry. Same study as you said but the methods and data analysis is different

It's a bit

To me, it's the most amazing thing. He firmly refuses to take any credit for impressive stuff he's showing, stressing that he is merely demonstrating basic principles in nature discovered by great people before us. This humble attitude of respect is perhaps the most important point of his lecture, that can make any man a better person.
