@@sciencegeekgrandpa8 Alfred Nobel founded the prize specifically to be remembered for something positive.

This was an awesome short, I normally avoid these like the plague but when I saw it was you Tom wearing safety gear I KNEW it had to be something special and especially dangerous 😅
My college in its special documents and archives section of the library had a first edition print of Copernicus’ book “On the revolutions of Celestial spheres”. The book responsible for eventually popularizing and proving the theory of heliocentrism.
Now that you have some experience with actinide elements, you can finally begin construction on the coveted “mostly stable house”, with only moderate loss of life
Discovering and coming to understand nuclear physics really was an insane leapfrog in the technological and scientific capabilities of humanity that a lot of people take for granted.
Yeah I have had a video in the background for ages where I want to make interesting coloured flash powders using Rare Earth element metal powders, but I couldn’t ever get it to work well. But a future plan is to also look at IR counter-measure flash powders, which I think will be super fun! Need to find a good IR camera to demonstrate the effects
I’m waiting to see what gets uploaded by the official Open Sauce channel. They might hopefully put up some cool stuff, they were filming a lot and I didn’t film much at the event at all!
Im actually directly related to john ray dunning, another member of the manhatten group who was a key figure in the mass production enritched uranium for use with the plutonium as well as energy production. Hes one of the less memerable members but he served a key roll and had an interesting life.
Bro actually looks sane in this youtube short. Id love to see more shorts of you talking calmly and professionally while your main content stays unhinged. Wouldnt that be funny?
This along with another fun fact are two of my favorites. Between the invention of powered flight, and boots touching the surface if the moon...only 66 years passed
if the open uranium pit near me was still abandoned, i would send you a core sample. the superfund cleanup finally started though (after 20 years of doing nothing) and its now got controlled access. kind of insane it was not controlled before and literally anyone could just walk into the old sample room and all of the core samples will still on the shelf LOL
😂 is it the next "high explosive" to try synthesis from sources available in local hardware store? Love you facial expression of excitement! A bit of mad scientist excitement but, yeah it's fun.
Without the specifics of the isotope i couldn't be certain, but I'd say since 1942 there isn't much of the original plutonium left- has anyone done an ENEMARR on it since just to see the daughter products?
something cool about plutonium is that you can make a generator that works for 60+ years out of it which uses the heat it radiates while decaying to create electricity. Its called an RTG
It’s a mix of a few Pu isotopes, as the early experiments didn’t/couldn’t separate them well. But it likely is mostly 239Pu, with a half life of 24,000 years. So it’s not going anywhere quickly!
I heard that the plutonium used in the Trinity test cost around $1 billion to acquire. Understandable that this was all the lab could make back then lol.

Ironic that the man who invented the most powerful explosives didn't get a Nobel prize.
Not unironic, considering Nobel made his fortune by inventing an explosive--dynamite
@sciencegeekgrandpa8 that's the reason it's ironic?

my boy doin shorts now 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🥶
marketing team of oppenheimer doin' a good job ngl
I'm not even sure if it's the marketing team, but just nerdy people excited about a nerdy movie about a nuclear scientist.
Hey, us nuclear physics guys dont get a lot of hype so when theres a big movie about it we get a little excited.
Now that you have some experience with actinide elements, you can finally begin construction on the coveted “mostly stable house”, with only moderate loss of life
Given the context, I have to ask: How far away is this "mostly stable house" from causing a criticality incident?
Dangerously close
@@neolexiousneolexian6079possibly one screwdriver away.
Woah, that's so cool! Good for you and thanks for sharing with us. Very cool.
Incredible advancement? Yeah, but it was also accomplished through an incredible act of sheer “throw money at it”.
Yes, most big things take big money....
Not really breaking news...
I just started working at the LBNL. I'm really happy to be working with such smart people.
I think the way your personality and kinda way of speaking is really great for shorts. Great job on this one!
It’s it’s it’s WXPLOSIONS AND FIRE I LOVE HIM
Plutonium is very fun
Commenting a second time to bump your channel, cheers mate❤
You look so happy holding that plutonium.
That is just plain awesome. Hope you had fun with that!
You wouldn’t happen to have a spare sample or two by any chance? (Asking for a friend)
If it were just a few months ago.....
You are my favourite youtube. Thank you very much for your style of content!

Awesome, glad to see this!

Love the shorts. More like this.

first short! nice
Didn't expect Ex&F to visit my uni!
Welcome to Cal Tom! 😃

I don't usually like "Shorts", however, this is awesome.
INSANE ACTUALLY
Great video

Very cool!

that stuff is Nasty,
Crazy how college got more expensive but we don’t do shit like this anymore
*slaps box of plutonium*
Think of all the yellow chemistry I could do with it.
I find it intriguing how someone can just… hold… the most macroscopically significant piece of plutonium ever synthesized.
More shorts pleassseeee
Makes me want to go watch the 1980s movie The Manhattan Project with John Lithgow
holy shit thats awesome
That’s rad

Never heard "Australian gum tree" before. We just call them Eucalyptus.
love the cool shirtz microplastics shirt
Gooood... Now you just need a thousand more of those and lead bricks
This feels like nothing could possibly go wrong..
Please cite all former explosions and fire videos for how often things go wrong
From the point of content creation; things never go wrong on E&F videos:D
Look at you! Making shorts like a real youtuber!!
Would have wanted to see a Geiger counter test it
Time travel time
next video is going to be a pretty interesting one.
We call them eucalyptus trees in Berkeley
The trinity bomb should have been the last, sadly op never got that wish
It was discussed in a place called Bohemian grove
Whats the half life?
It’s a mix of a few Pu isotopes, as the early experiments didn’t/couldn’t separate them well. But it likely is mostly 239Pu, with a half life of 24,000 years. So it’s not going anywhere quickly!
