The Magic of Chemistry - with Andrew Szydlo

Subscribe for more science videos :bit.ly/RiSubscRibe
If you were able to make a substance change colour, or turn from a solid to a liquid, would that be magic? Andrew Szydlo leads us through a world of magical molecules and enchanting elements in this Ri event from Wednesday 23 April 2014. From a liquid that boils at room temperature to gases that are heavier than air, this family event is full of practical demonstrations of the magic of chemistry.

    He taught me Chemistry at school and he was a great teacher. He would play his violin during lessons sometimes. This was back in the day when over-powered and under-designed pyrotechnics were acceptable and he would delight us with explosions, sometimes calmly taking while the thing was brewing and enjoying watching us jump out or our skins when the thing went off. He always had our rapt attention, which is the sign of a brilliant teacher.

    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. KZread 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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    I had a professor like this in college and for the first time in my life during school I was engaged. I was always kinda smart like I would understand what my teachers were talking about and i would do well on tests but I just went through the motions. It took one man to bring out a passion in me and now I’m a chemical engineer for a fortune 200 company. All it takes is one person to come into our lives and reshape everything. Teachers should be here to inspire, not just get us by. This guy is absolutely brilliant

    EnhancedGamerChris Lol of course he's an actor! He performs a show for laymen. Of course his explanation about that experiment with the violin is not as accurate as it should be ;-) Oh, and he IS a chemist too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Szydlo . This lecture is, of course, more a 'magic shows' then real chemistry (which is the reason I like this so much). I read: "Andrew uses chemical experiments to deliver education, enlightenment and entertainment to the wider community.". And he does a GREAT job in just that.

    EnhancedGamerChris "Musical energy" or sound energy is very real, I'm surprised that you have even said this. I will agree, this experiment was poorly explained. I'm not very familiar with the iodine clock reaction but from what I understand he was trying to say that he was using sound energy to reach the required activation energy for the reaction to occur. I'm not sure that using sound for this reaction was necessary but I don't think that was the point he was trying to make. I think he was trying to explain that different types of energy exist and they can have an effect in certain reactions. For the sound energy he produced to have a significant effect he would have to play much louder. Obviously this wouldn't be suitable for his presentation so I think this is why he chose this experiment because the energy wouldn't have a significant effect either way so why not choose a cool one? I don't think what he said was wrong, just poorly worded. In a 1 hour presentation that he is trying to rush through the stress probably caused him to slip up here. One minor mistake isn't a big deal in my opinion, you said he made many mistakes throughout feel free to point out others.
