REAL PLUTONIUM

The haircut of the professor is just the haircut I would imagine the haircut of a crazy nuclear professor.

Thalium is a HORRIBLE poison that is agonizingly painful. :(

"doc u dont just walk in a store and buy plutonium!"

What an extraordinary and fascinating collection of videos showing chemical elements and their use and origins.

Dubya calls it Pultonium

I love these videos, not just for the information and education, but for the genuine human relationships you all have with one another. It's a breath of fresh air. Thank you, all of you!

In Actinides : 94 🌋

these vids are fun and im in 5th grade!!!

That Tie is absolutely Killer 😍

So, what is the upside, or the benefit of using Plutonium?

Even while just watching this video I could feel the tension as they handled the plutonium.

LIGHT IT ON FIRE 🔥💪

It seems there are a couple notable isotopes of plutonium that have very long half-lives, and they're Pu-244, with a half-life of approximately 80,000,000 years, and Pu-242, with a half-life of approximately 375,000 years, neither of which seem to be fissile, like with U-235 or Pu-239. With radioisotopes like these, with their long half-lives, that gets me wondering if these plutonium radioisotopes could've hypothetically seen use for applications outside of being used for nuclear fission (especially if they were more naturally abundant, such as in the space near recent supernova events, such as the Crab Nebula). For example, would Pu-244 have made for better counterweights, armor, and penetrators than U-238 (a.k.a. depleted uranium)?

very nice

What a great trick question that'd be for Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

The UK's entire supply of weapons-grade plutonium was once stored in:
A: A single lab
B: A public fallout shelter
C: A dog house
D: A table

Very interesting element wondering if there is any other uses that plutonium could be used for besides nuclear power/ weapons some of those compounds look very inert very deceptive this element must be treated with respect. Looks like plutonium 239 is responsible for the isotope U235. Uranium to plutonium (238/92)U + n —>(239/92)U ->(-e)+(239/93)Np->(-e)+(239/94)Pu
Plutonium to uranium
(239/94)Pu—>(4/2)He + (235/92)U.

евнух

Your channel is trash, your just a sycophant of the establishment!! Get lost

I have a theory that all geniuses have crazy hair so they can pick up signals from the cosmos.

Plutonium 3+ is very pretty violet blue.

The Cambridge professor was smart enough to be trusted with England’s entire stock of plutonium and genius enough to collect almost all of it back after spilling it, but he wasn’t smart enough to come up with an alibi for why there was a hole in the desk? 😅

The follies of man

Ionize me

Why do scientists have that hair?

The Americans and their war pals bombed civilian neighborhood, school, hospital and pretty much all of Iraq with depleted plutonium bombs. forever poisoning the CIVILIAN population. causing massive amounts of disfigure children being born and the highest childhood cancer rate in the world. all by an illegal invasion based on COMPLETE lies from the most evil countries on the planet THE US AND ISRAEL to make WAR PROFITs for American corporations and its war loving population.

Nuclear physicists have the funkiest hair.

LOL, Plutonium is naturally occurring in extremely small amounts in uranium ore. Saying man first created it is absolutely false. It sounds cool to say it, but its a lie.

Is this old man still alive

Dude called improper plutonium storage a skill issue he based af

Gamma rays are dangerous, because they shred DNA.

Bro talked about Plutonium’s reputation and didn’t bring up Back To The Future. OK, nerd 👌🏻

Dropping pu wakes you up better than any coffee

'If you're somebody that who makes bombs' 💀

My siblings and I spent our entire childhoods in Los Alamos. Since the release of the movie "Oppenheimer" we've been having text exchanges as to what sort of nastiness we may have been exposed to. No doubt there was Plutonium, among other trans-uranium elements, being handled at the National Laboratory across the canyon.
My physiological reaction to the toxicity in trace elements in multivitamins might be a demonstration of the evolved response to environmental elements.

still waiting for it to be available in every corner drugstore

Pu is stinky 🤢

Change E mail,
SWEETCH location...

His hair depict radioactivity

The professor is Martyn Poliakoff

This element is so famous because of openheimer

Doc brown hosting this

A bit of a letdown that it looks like lead. I expected something emitting green light... 🦠

Oh, I'm sure in 1985 Plutonium is available in every corner drug store. But in 1955, it's hard to come by!

Back in university we planned to make a device using tiny amounts of heavy metals that would react by running current through them. They were to be organised in a complex pattern and would shed, first photons, then electrons, then protons, leaving only neutrons, and were organised in such a way that they would strip the surrounding matter of protons, leaving only a neutron plasma. To maintain the chain reaction, the idea was to create a complex molecule whose atoms would react with one another and cause the molecule to keep turning back into itself. This would initiate the process that would end with generating a neutron plasma. When the profs got wind of what we were doing, they took our toy away, and nothing more was said about the subject. We asked "What harm could one molecule do?" "More than you can possibly imagine," was their last word on the subject.

Will everybody's fascination end when they are covered with radioactive fallout? Many people in a rush to build nuclear power plants so we can have more nuclear weapons.

Pu: PUtin’s favorite poison. One day someone will put some on his breakfast cereal, and poof, no more Putin. Bury all plutonium deep.
