Dmitri Mendeleev: Great Minds

[@semyondelaney]

Also in Russia the Periodic table is called 'the mendeleev's table' .

[@NYgarrett]

I am a bit surprised that Hank did not discuss how Dmitri's mother basically hitchhiked from Siberia to St. Petersburg in order to provide Dmitri with an education. What is even more remarkable is how shortly after transporting Dmitri to St. Petersburg, she passed away. If you desire an excellent example of parental sacrifice for their children, well here you go!

[@theamazingfuzzlord]

Ra ra Rasputin lover of the Russian queen, oh wait. That's Mendeleev.

[@ricksanchez7192]

Shut your dirty mouth. She had sick son.

[@robert_wigh]

Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев, привет из Швеции! Огромное спасибо за периодичаскую систему!

[@wolfimueller9449]

Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев, привет из Америки! Я тоже согласен со шведским человеком. Большое вам спасибо за периодическую систему!

[@YouTube_Is_Sick]

Не знаю законно ли это писать, спустя 5 лет, но привет из России и Огромное спасибо за комментарий, содержащий благодарность за таблицу, под биографией Менделеева.

[@Pumma3]

Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев, привет из Канады! Вы настоящий русский талант!

[@ImSoCool2403]

I have a periodic table on my wall!! (is this something to be proud of? It is now! >:D)

[@cooliodiddy]

I'm so glad there's people like you on KZbin :)

[@metkic94]

Do video for Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

[@BrianHutzellMusic]

My dad is a retired chemistry teacher, and over the years we have given him a number of period table themed gifts, inducing a glow-in-the-dark periodic table tie, and a “Periodic Table and Chairs” sweatshirt.

[@railroadisolationist5452]

did he buy them with drug money

[@BrianHutzellMusic]

@@railroadisolationist5452 Elementary, my dear Watson!

[@epicname1549]

do a great minds episode on Archimedes

[@SuperChrisf]

I agree with this comment. Scishow should do a great minds episode on Archimedes!

[@YamiChip]

I gasped when I saw the title. Demitri's my favorite scientist!

[@hk47xhk47x]

Great video, this is probably my favorite great minds so far! so many interesting facts (like the vodka thing)

[@sweater0115]

When I was old enough to have my own bathroom, I got the table on a shower curtain...

[@BobCMcDonald]

I love scishow so much

[@extreamemineing]

Watched this in school. Best science lesson ever!!

[@imageeknotanerd9897]

One day in biology class we literally just watched a bunch of Hank Green's videos. The whole class. 86 solid minutes of this guy. Best day ever. :D

[@extreamemineing]

I'm a geek, not a nerd you have 86 min long lessons!

[@imageeknotanerd9897]

***** Last year the schedule actually was different each day. Sometimes we only had 40 minute lessons. Very occasionally we had 2-hour lessons. Although apparently the school is changing it for next year. No idea what it's going to be.

[@extreamemineing]

+I'm a geek, not a nerd we just have 1 hour lessons and occasionally in the higher years we may have double lessons that are 2 hours

[@XeniaJoy]

My cat's name is Dmitri, watching this video I now feel like he is destined for great things.

[@Hel101]

Ahhh, watching this instead of studying Chemistry. Close enough :)

[@flightsnotfeelings5867]

I feel this

[@ivoryas1696]

Hel101 Technically, _this _*_is_* studying Chemistry! 😁

[@valentintorres9342]

I don't see Charles Darwin in the list of Great Minds. You guys definitely need to make a video on him.

[@executormmm]

It's probably because there are atleast 9 documentaries about him. Still, the greatest mind of all times in my oppinion (Archimedes was also a no joke guy, but he was on machinery - inventing is easier than observing... and on that scale and that precision...)

[@triturus5785]

Because there is much evidence that his evolotion theory is false !

[@executormmm]

When you talk about evidence, you are addressing a 3rd party yellow magazine article or an experiment that everyone can confirm by testing it himself? Because i tend to believe at information that is closer to it's source, sry for that! :) If i can make my screensaver calculate a random creature that, by evolving, manages to walk after a day or two (and i can also make it from scratch, changing the enviroment) i tend to believe that, i'm sorry again :). If you can not understand something there are 2 options - either this thing is not true or you are not that smart and need to put more work on the subject! Some brains search for the 1st option - saves energy and they feel better, and some tend to search for option 2. So - option 1 - you can't understand something and see someone saying he have evidence this thing is false. - option 2 - you can't understand something but if you put alot of effort you can replicate it and see how it actually works, but you need a basic programing skills and maybe a few days to make it work on your own.

[@executormmm]

Also - if you are lazy to think and just search for the sensation - i hope one day you get so lazy you stop comment crap everywhere :D www.spiderland.org/breve/breveCreatures.html this is a link where you can start experimenting with your own virtual evolving creatures.

[@triturus5785]

***** read the book l'erreur de Darwin and see if that changes your mind its in french but i am shure you can find it in English and there is no reason to go crazy and insult me !

[@X3sAiiDaDaB0MBx3]

I could've sworn you already made this video previously. I know for a fact I watched it way before the 26th or April.

[@sumakote]

You are a Boss

[@THEBrandonBrownson]

Hank, I'd kind of like to see you do an Brilliant Minds on Einstein. A lot of people my age really don't fully understand what he did, they just know that he was, "Like, really smart"

[@KYAg227]

He was a fraud and idiot. Freemason promoted fool. Tesla was the genius

[@Ramenstein1]

40% alcohol law? I love you Dmitri.

[@Spikeygal]

Could you talk about the chemicals and neuro-things behind pain perception?

[@fearthetenebrae]

Can we see an episode about the differences between electric and traditional cars?

[@TheTallBeverage]

Because he's one of the most magnificent and interesting men on the planet, at least to me.

[@MrBiger48]

you should do a show on the skylon.its a British plane design to go to space.its engines are operantly revelatory and have just finished a test.it operas to be a successful.

[@nancyhey1012]

I’m glad that he was in the good favor of the Tsar, even though I don’t condone bigamy or adultery. But the periodic table was certainly a huge boon to science worldwide, so I’m glad that the Tsar appreciated that.

[@happytheodoreperson]

I would love to see a video about different types of meditation.

[@HarrisDouglas6]

Do a video on Lord Kelvin. Would love to hear more about him as he had something to do with(probably a professor) Glasgow University. Which is were I study :D

[@LRA1969]

Can You Please Do A Show On Unification Of The Weak And Electromagnetic Interaction Between Elementary Particles, Abdus Salam, Sheldon Glashow And Steven Weinberg .

[@megannancy23]

I would really love to hear more about women who have contributed to science! As girls, we kind of grow up with people like Kim Kardashian and Snooki to look up to. I would really love to hear more about smart, powerful women who did really amazing things.

[@LaughingMan44]

You forgot to mention that he practically walked most of the way from Siberia to St.Petersburg (which is around a 3rd if not more of the Earth's surface).

[@erincrozier9703]

I have a periodic table on the wall right beside my bed.:)

[@BrazilianCitizan]

Yay! Vodka! =D

[@francismausley7239]

Another great video. It's most amazing that Dmitri Mendeleev saw the Periodic Table in a dream. “Knowledge is a light which God casteth into the heart of whomsoever He willeth." ~ Bahá’u’lláh, Baha'i Faith

[@blahness666]

haha i felt like i watched this before too, i think the series of videos has ended and is on repeat now

[@kght222]

ask the prof (poliakoff) on periodic videos where he got his mendeleev vodka, and get yourself some. it's label even has the periodic table on it.

[@Esllava1]

Hahahaha the thing is I've always hated science at school (I've had 9 teachers for the moment because there's biology and physics) but I always enjoy reading science revues, for exemple. I think science is awesome and teachers don't make us like it enough.

[@MrElizajohn]

Don't worry Hank, I have a periodic table on my ceiling!

[@jaboodi]

I'm continuously surprised by the elegance of the periodic table. At first it seems so simple but you can learn so much about each element simply based on its position. It's pretty much the Shakespeare of chemistry.

[@TheNemoNerd]

Hank, why is it that in English the element Na is called sodium where in other languages (like Finnish, Japanese, and Indonesian) it's called natrium? Potassium too, why not call it Kalium?

[@Javjean]

You should do a video on Albus Dumbkedore!

[@ColdHeartTV]

Hank, can you make an episode about (Jabir Ibn Hayyan) an 8th century Arabian scientist who invented distillation (the process of separating liquids by different boiling temperatures). With his invention despite discovering how to make alcohol, he never drank it due to him being a Muslim :)

[@kwengkynator]

Well since everyone is already requesting Tesla, I'm going with Alfred Nobel. The guy behind the Nobel Prizes. But of course he has to wait after Tesla. :)

[@gracelee9687]

helped me a lot with my school prject/ assignment

[@TheNemoNerd]

My question was why English uses sodium instead of using natrium like other languages do.

[@Almostgfx]

Still think it would be interesting if you did an episode on Deja Vu

[@ihy90]

3:14 and AK-47. Never forget AK-47.

[@lonerizer]

can you do an episide about Volta and Galvani? We are learning about them in class at the moment and have an exam on them later... seems as they are both pretty interesting and as i can basically recall anything you ever say, that video would be really really awesome and helpful... ^.^

[@0beastly0]

I thought so too but I realized I was just remembering bits from the Periodic Table episode SciShow did, you might have made the same mistake.

[@tetsubo57]

I recommend the book, The Periodic Kingdom.

[@bobbysaul1]

the AP chemistry test is coming up. Could you do a show for review on it, please?

[@253198253198]

My grandma was the second oldest of 18 kids

[@LittleWhiteLy]

I know this is completely off the point and I'm such a dork for noticing, but BY SHAKESPEARE, I saw the bottom of Hank's shirt and a bit of his pants. Sometimes it just seemed that all his scishow-shirts were going on forever downwards without ever ending... good to know that Hank still has pants.

[@m4rcus4ur31ius]

No. The avatar only mastered 4 elements. Mendeleev mastered the whole damn table.

[@lichenthrope__]

Erwin Schrödinger, please...absolute genius...

[@eliyahuw]

Mendeleev did not decide that Vodka should be 40%. That was determined when Mendeleev was only 9.

[@YurvanGor]

you mentioned Grigori Rasputin in the beginning, do presentation on him

[@heidiesel]

Now I know exactly where to put that periodic table of mine...

[@semietaa]

Hi I am Bulgarian currently living in Canada. I just want to share with you that in the Slavic countries the periodic table is better known as the "Table of Mendeleev" and it is called so even in schools and universities.

[@rapingwalrus]

Being the father of modern Chemistry is quite more prestigious than having a Nobel Peace Prize.

[@Phiteros]

You didn't talk about how the idea for the Periodic Table came to him in a dream.

[@theyaremakingme]

I'd like to be a master of alcohol, petroleum, and bigamy.

[@officialdiegofurlan]

PLEASE DO ALBERT EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY!

[@dhines03]

Here is an impactful biography on Dmitri Mendeleev: www.missingtheforest.com/dmitri-mendeleev/

[@jimmytheradical]

"While it is true that Mendeleev in 1892 became head of the Archive of Weights and Measures in Saint Petersburg, and evolved it into a government bureau the following year, that institution was never involved in setting any production quality standards, but was issued with standardising Russian trade weights and measuring instruments. Furthermore, the 40% standard strength was already introduced by the Russian government in 1843, when Mendeleev was nine years old.[65]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitri_Mendeleev#Vodka_myth

[@stevenlyngdoh2819]

Then Vladimir Lenin came to power.

[@voskan6296]

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein

[@matthewlaurence3121]

+Vos Kan That is fitting here, as Mendeleev was extremely devout and would fight tooth and claw to support this statement.

[@rg9448]

Just for a bit correction, Einstein didn't consider mainstream religion as "useful". He meant more like spirituality rather than religion in the sense we know today

[@williamtael8379]

This phrase makes no sense. Science is not trying to find a way into heaven nor it's trying to proof that some god exist. One of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking, is an atheist (and of course there are way more atheists out there). Nobody needs religion in order to do science. The Bible doesn't even tells anything that we didn't know before.

[@ManjuKumari-rk4wt]

I'm gonna quote this in y morning assembly. Thanks

[@Funk2Funky]

I've got puzzled when I read Mendvedev instead of Dendeleev

[@rayhs1984]

he's half of the vlog brothers with New York Times best seller John Green. They have 217,126,321 views on thier main channel. He runs Eco Geek dot org and develops webs web pages. John runs crash course check that out if you like history.

[@skizzik121]

yeah hank that is really nerdy....i had a Kathy Ireland poster on my ceiling above my bed as a kid

[@axe8287]

he really said clout

[@luvinthepotter]

I once had to do a research project on Mendeleev. I happen to feel somewhat ashamed at the look my teacher gave me when I asked how the periodic table contributes to science... "THE PERIODIC TABLE IS ORGANIZATION AT IT'S BEST! IT IS SO PERFECT THAT IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE ANY BETTER!" Sorry, Mr. B., but how was an 8th grader supposed to know?!?! And that would be what makes me feel stupid -.-
