Can someone explain the flask submerging experiment mentioned in 8:35.
It seems that the purpose of submerging the flask is to increase the pressure of the substance inside it. But given that the flask is not deformable, how would the pressure inside it increase?
"The world would need another way to get it's nitrogen fix". Nice.
What 3 books would you recommend? Thank you for the knowledge!
Luckily video id EvknN89JoWo is available on the Internet Archive.
Wow. demonetized…. there is so much I can say. I wonder if it's because it touches on the truth of why the earth is doomed? Overpopulation.
What a sad and tragic irony.. the person who invented zyklon-b belonged to the same religion as the millions of victims of this invention. Science is indeed a double-edged sword sometimes.
I didn't know I had German ancestry damn
An interesting thing to note is that while the Nazis used Zyklon-B in the "Final Solution" .They didn't use chemical weapons on troops or civilians.
YouTube indoctrinates children to pursue genital mutilation, which often ends in suicide when they realize what they have irreversibly done to their natural bodies. So it's a bit hypocritical of alphabet to restrict discussion of suicide directly
Love the video!
Would personally be interested if @veritasium made a video about what 4-wheel drive does for you and what it doesn't. There isn't anything straightforward online currently and I know @veritasium would do an amazing job!
This video is so pertinent to the situation unfolding in front of our eyes in the Middle East
Some of the technology that makes our lives so much better is being actively used to destroy, malign and glorify death there as we watch this.
I pray none of the people reading this are on the receiving end of that side of technology or the ones using it for anything but saving lives.
a jew's invention killing jews, very interesting
"You can't always count on youtube monetization"…proceeeds to take down a good video because it was demonitized.
You should be capable of sacrifizing some of the money in order to show things that matter to the community (Given you are already big on youtube). Lead by the example.
My attention span is very short, I was waiting so long for you to come to the point
The fact this needed to be reuploaded makes me want to "unalive" myself. Grow up snowflakes.
can we find the offending section somewhere on the internet?
wroclaw & basf & book How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States
Is there an uncensored version?
F for those missing the legendary sex scene😔
You're by far the best YouTuber. That's it.
Re-liked on the basis that the original video was perfectly well made and YouTube is being a whiny little *** but Veritasium doesn't deserve to suffer for their poor choices.
At least the original is still up
It's like Ricky Gervais says: it's not offending they FIND it offending.
To hell with YouTube censorship on Historical matters
Hi @Veritasium, with YT blocking adblockers now, i'm moving away from it. Is there any other website we can watch your amazing videos on?
Is this how we got the Instant Pot?
I was enchanted by this video when I watched it for the first time, but I can't remember which part of the original video has an "OFFENSE" to have censored such a BEAUTIFUL video.
Fiquei encantado com esse video quando assisti pela primeira vez, mas, não consigo lembrar qual parte do video original tem uma "OFENSA" para ter censurado um video tão LINDO.
I think your video was cut short: You forgot to answer the last question you asked.
I refer to the last statement of the video, and have to say that the whole paradigm of "controlling the natural world" is not only the root-cause but also a myth. Natural forces and phenomenon are way beyond any human or human-race controls. A true definition of sustainability will only come by using whats bare minimum. This is also evident by the 2 naturally-occuring processes of ground-nitrogen synthesis. Unabated usages and single-use items (whether decompostable or not) should not be manufactured or even pursued. Earth has enough natural resources to sustain a trillion people, but only if we relinquish. @Veritasium.
