  Hello i was wondering, hence why i searched for this video. If you would put a glass peephole (the one that its at the door wich we use to see who is konocking) under those glasses, would you then be able to start a fire?

  The trick he's probably using is shaking salt on the counter first. Only takes a tiny amount that's not seen.

• 
  @SecretNatureChannel4 ай бұрын

  Hey, thanks for commenting. Salt can help in theory as it makes the countertop rougher. However, it is unnecessary. The surface of eggs are rough enough on their own. Try it out. It is actually pretty easy to do.

  Hi, i have an 80's brazilian alarm clock with white luminiscent dials and numbers, the brand is "Sturm" (couldn't find anything on the internet) Can it contain radiation based on the color of the dial?. It brights clearly in the night. Unfortunately don't have a geiger counter.

• 
  @SecretNatureChannel Жыл бұрын

  Put it in a completely dark location with zero light for a day. Take it out in the dark. If it is still glows without having been exposed to any source of light for a day then the only way it can be glowing is if it contains a radioactive paint.

  What is the qualification of a naturalist ?

• 
  @SecretNatureChannel Жыл бұрын

  That's going to depend a lot on what the position is. For some beginning seasonal work there may be little qualifications listed other than a willingness to learn and the ability to be a good communicator. Many jobs are looking for a degree in outdoor education or environmental education or equal experience. In general, knowledge of nature, ability to communicate, ability to read and even create curriculum, are critical. Those are the givens we assume you have when you apply. What often gets a person a job though are the other skills they bring to the table that set them apart. Are you an artist? Do you play an instrument? Do you have animal care experience? Are you good with social media? Are you a good writer? Can you build things? Are you creative? Do you have experience with evert coordination? Those are all skills that may come into play and can serve to set a candidate apart.

  @SecretNatureChannel Жыл бұрын

  That’s a great question. I could probably do a whole video on that. The answer is varied. This is a maturing field. 30 years ago on one had a specific degree in this. Now, more and more newcomers have degrees in environmental education. Not everyone though and it probably depends on where in the world you are. People come to it from different backgrounds. You need to figure out what unique skill you can bring that will be valuable. Our last got used to be a graphic designer and wanted a career change. His visual communications skills are super valuable to our team. Some employers may be looking for social media experience. Others may need someone with event planning experience. The teaching and communication skills are assumed. EVERY qualified candidate is going to walk through the door knowing how to do those things. What lands you a job are the unique things other candidates don’t bring. If you don’t have the experience of being a communicator and working with audiences, especially but not exclusively kids. You absolutely need to find a way to get that experience first.

  Thank you for informative video. I have one question, are all clocks and watches with radioactive dials sensitive to ultraviolet light?

• 
  @SecretNatureChannel Жыл бұрын

  Yes and no. In theory yes because they have phosphors on the dial. The radiation charges up the phosphor paint just like the UV light does. However, often older radioactive dials no longer glow. It isn’t because they aren’t radioactive. It is because the radiation has degraded the paint. So, those might not glow under UV if the paint is in bad shape.

  Not any in particular. There is a wide variety out there. One thing to consider is how large the actual detector is as this will affect sensitivity. Also check out what it can detect as some have limitations. They can be expensive. I got mine used which saved some cash but it still was not cheap.

  I feel like these types of pieces are cool in a way yeah dangerous to an extent but more of a piece of history but not to freak out about radium in a clock in their possession when we in the common day in age all use our phones and technology with radiation all day 24/7 in our hands. (Not forgetting that it’s on a totally different levels of radiation)

• 
  @SecretNatureChannel2 жыл бұрын

  Not just a different level but a different kind of radiation. Phones “radiate” energy in the form of light and radio waves but it is non-ionizing radiation. That distinction is lost on a lot of people to such a degree that I wish we didn’t use the same word. Yes, radio waves are technically a form of radiation but a phone is not considered “radioactive” because it is non-ionizing.

  @JamesPerkins3 ай бұрын

  @@SecretNatureChannel Appreciating your response! I was about to say the same thing. Everything electromagnetic radiation with wavelength longer than ultraviolet is non-ionizing radiation - this includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light - they can cause their own problems - mostly overheating tissues - but none of those cause ionization damage. The ultraviolet to a small degree, but definitely x-ray and gamma ray - those are ionizing radiation. Other things that cause ionization damage include alpha and beta particles. The alphas are bad for any tissue they are absorbed into or in contact with. Radioactive cesium looks like sodium/potassium to the human body, and radioactive strontium/radium acts like calcium. When ingested, they are redistributed and end up up killing/mutating tissues from the particles they put out. Beta particles penetrate much farther than the alpha particles.

  There are many kinds of "labs". Just having been in a lab doesn't mean it was around radioactive materials. If it was in a disease lab you could be concerned about bacteria and if it was from a Food Science lab you might have to worry about contamination with ketchup. It the machine was somehow radioactive (which would be very very odd unless there was an accident) it would need to be disposed of as radioactive waste and not just thrown out with the trash.

  You miss the actual egg balancing trick -that does in fact, only work within a few minutes on either side of the exact time of the equinox. Balancing it on the narrow end! Otherwise your approach is correct -you need to check the exact time in your time zone first. Then, start trying to balance an egg about 5 minutes before. When it does watch and typically within 3-5 minutes past the exact equinox time it will roll onto the side.
