Yep. And, if you didn't know that most fires need oxygen before now, you've learned something! That would make those eight minutes a good use of time!

He wanted to make the kids feel agitated and expectant, only to throw them a disappointing fact that nitrogen doesn't catch fire. It's how people will learn. Or was it because he didn't dip the burning candle into the liquid? There's really no point. Nitrogen, liquid or gas, simply won't explode or catch fire.

[@JeffersonLab]

Big Bang. The quark-gluon plasma cools, allowing nucleons to form. Clouds of hydrogen and helium gas collapse, forming the first stars. The largest stars explode, seeding the Universe with heavier elements. The sun forms. The earth forms. Life arises. Life evolves. Dinosaurs rule the planet. Dinosaurs are wiped out, allowing for the rise of mammals. Life evolves. Humans create language and art, master fire, build tools and learn agriculture. Civilization arises. Humans aren't completely occupied with survival, so there's time to discover how the world works. Chemistry, physics, biology, math and all of the other sciences develop. People learn how to liquefy nitrogen. KZbin is invented. A video is made of a lit candle being placed in a container of liquid nitrogen. The video is uploaded. You click on a link. You arrive here. Elapsed time, about 13.798 billion years.

[@th3kr3w100]

I deeply appreciated this video. I am in college majoring in science, and I had picked the "N2 will just put out the flame option", but was still on edge and built on suspense that I was probably going to be proven wrong, SOLELY based on the fact that you seemed to be inferring that an explosion was going to happen. Not only had I anticipated an explosion the first time, but also the second. This video really teaches the importance of learning how to think for yourself and trusting the laws of the universe to be able to predict outcomes, and not the spoken word of somebody else. I also think you made the whole experiment much more exciting through your presentation, and more likely to be remembered than if you had presented the experiment plainly. The result was honestly disappointing, but if one could see the beauty in the disappointment, a deeper appreciation for our judgement could be obtained.

[@ExperienceLOS7713]

Completely agree. I almost didn't finish my lady semester in college because I stayed home and just watched fascinating documentaries to subjects I NEVER was taught in school on KZbin and listened to audiobooks and things like that. When I would come into school it felt like a real joke and nightmare for myself - overcrowding, lack of materials, bad attitudes by professors and students alike, complete lack of information and worse, misinformation...money wasted to pay for overpriced GMO crap on campus and expensive metro fare. I have learned more on KZbin in 4 months than I had my entire 17 years in public school institutions. You have to teach yourself these days with America's teaching institutions collapsing and lack of book stores selling affordable books and closing libraries. If you are really curious and hungry for knowledge, there are public free databases (most require money) like jstor that will give you great academic articles on different subjects going back decades. Have a good one, and keep enrichment alive!

What u are seeing is very rare species of teachers which everyone wants

[@JoeNagle-Bagle]

At the beginning when he asked the kids what would happen, i knew right away. We learned this in IPS, when we read a book called the Disappearing Spoon. For fire to stay lit, it needs oxygen, which is flammable. Nitrogen has the opposite effect, it snuffs out the fire.

[@JeffersonLab]

Joe Nagle Oxygen is not flammable. Oxygen does not burn.

[@Fuar11]

Jefferson Lab Pure Oxygen is flammable.

[@JoeNagle-Bagle]

Yes, and what i meant to say was that nitrogen puts out the flame, and that fire feeds on oxygen. When there was no oxygen the the tube, the fire went out.

[@JeffersonLab]

MCAA6556 Pure oxygen is not flammable. Without something to burn, the oxygen has nothing to react with and there's no fire. Take a look at the video where we put a lit match in liquid oxygen. You'll see pure oxygen *NOT* burn as soon as the match runs out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5yvpIGIhc6kmdE But, suppose that you're right and that oxygen were flammable. What would the reaction be? O2 + O2 --> what??

+PremierMilenkov I don't know if I'd go that far. I prefer to think that this is more of a knowledge vs. application of knowledge issue. I think (hope) that most people 'know' what will happen, they just don't realize that they know that they know. If not, then, yeah, your critique becomes much more valid.

[@PremierMilenkov]

[@NightRunner417]

+PremierMilenkov It's a room full of kids, not scientists. The whole point of classes is to *learn* what you don't already know. Besides, I think that a lot of them got caught up in the showmanship, either hoping or worried that it would make a big bang, lol.

[@JeffersonLab]

Gregg Macey If the title were "Liquid Nitrogen + Fire = EPIC EXPLOSION!!!" or "My jaw hit the floor when fire was put into liquid nitrogen and then THIS happened!!!" then, yes, I would agree that those would be leading you to expect something... grander. As it is, the title consists of four words, three of which directly describe what's being dealt with in the video. The fourth word is a conjunction and can't really be faulted for being there. If those four words caused you to expect an explosion, it's because you JUMPED TO A CONCLUSION based on the minimal, factual data you were given. The jumping occurred within your own head and isn't the fault of the title. Disappointing? Sure. But that's sometimes what happens when one jumps to a conclusion.

[@violatingpanda8294]

Not sure why this video has such bad ratings. We need more educators like this to get kids interested and excited about learning. The great thing about science is that it doesn't have to be taught out of a book -- you don't have to READ about science, you can DO science. I promise you fully half of those kids went home after school and, instead of playing video games, watched videos about liquid nitrogen, and that's awesome.

[@bobdonat9783]

its got bad ratings because he says many incorrect thigs, like if humans breathe nitrogen we go out..... thats total nonsense

Finally someone asked a question about whatever it was that we were learning. He got so excited he went to point at the board with his stick, and ended up hooking the corner of his glasses and launching them across the room by complete accident.. The poor guy was so excited that someone was paying attention. I remember everyone laughing for 10 minutes and I remembered how embarrassed he was.

( 5:15 ) That's one big 8th grader.

[@JeffersonLab]

You don't send 250 8th graders to a national lab without some teachers and parental chaperones.

[@Mereaux]

@@JeffersonLab ok

[@Mr.KKream]

I added this to my watch later so many years ago and hadn’t got around to watching it until now. Even in 2022 almost 2023, we don’t have teachers half as good as this man!

[@WanderingHermitCrab]

try liquid hydrogen

[@JeffersonLab]

While that would result in a boom, it wouldn't be as big as you might be hoping for. Like with the liquid nitrogen, atmospheric oxygen would be purged from the inside of the container. The only 'boom' would come from a relatively thin layer near the top where enough oxygen has mixed in.

[@WanderingHermitCrab]

hmm.... So it doesn't work like stars? that's what their fuel is.

[@JeffersonLab]

Spore Creature No, it's not nearly the same thing. The sun isn't burning like the candle burns. There's no chemical reaction with oxygen. The energy is a result of a *nuclear* reaction. Hydrogen is *fused* within the sun to produce helium, and the mass difference (4 individual protons are more massive than a helium nucleus) shows up as energy via the well known equation E = mc^2.

[@WanderingHermitCrab]

oh...... -_-

[@jonathannellis]

If only a fusion reaction was as simple as a small amount of heat and some liquid hydrogen.

[@paullangford8179]

Please. please try it again, but with liquid oxygen!

[@JeffersonLab]

We have: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5yvpIGIhc6kmdE

[@cesar7141]

+Jefferson Lab wow your still alive!

[@arulpalayam9202]

I love his experiments....it's so informative.....and interesting too😉✌

[@micabean8291]

Literally O2 ac is rocket fuel

[@AidenOcelot]

Wait, What? Why so many dislikes?

[@TimReeve93]

Likely people disliked the fact nobody got hurt.

[@Liharris30]

this teacher is amazing!

[@fos427]

why does this have so many dislikes??

[@JeffersonLab]

Some people think it will explode and get angry when nature doesn't oblige.

[@fos427]

Jefferson Lab well then... it's pretty screwed up that people actually wanted to see 8th grader space program

[@joeytje50]

I didn't down-vote it, but I was expecting something other than such an anticlimactic show and then nothing afterwards. I've worked with liquid nitrogen myself before, so I expected nothing other than the fire going out, but I was expecting him to maybe try the same thing with liquid oxygen afterwards. The huge build up and anticlimax afterwards is just what makes this video so down-voteable.

[@JeffersonLab]

Of course, doing anything with liquid oxygen in a room full of middle schoolers isn't the best idea.

[@DW_Films]

jefferson lab is shutting down all the negative comments lol

[@jukechuu]

though the resolution was kinda disappointing the video was amazing :D idek why people are disliking this video!!!

[@JeffersonLab]

jukechuu The resolution was what could be done easily in 2008. The technology of the time...

[@nomlee969]

Jefferson Lab he probably meant result not the video resolution lol

[@roberthadzicki6423]

Nom Lee LOL! Hah!

[@llm549]

Wow....what an awesome teacher! They are enjoying this lesson so much, they don't realize that they are learning!

[@nightstalker9272]

the title lead me to believe that there was going to be an explosion.

[@JeffersonLab]

+NightStalker 927 Ummm, no. Pretty sure you led yourself into beleiving that there was going to be an explosion.

[@Eclecticweirdo]

+NightStalker 927 XD But wasn't the humor worth the letdown?

[@MrKassieboy]

I read it as in liquid fire. I don't know what I expected :(

[@runeknytling]

Well, I suppose that we could conserve water with the fire department and just shoot liquid nitrogen at blazing inferno :p

[@JeffersonLab]

I suppose. But, considering that liquid water falls from the sky, it's a bit easier to come by than liquid nitrogen is.

[@jonathannellis]

Some of the fancy fire suppression systems in high value storage rooms, museums and data centers do use nitrogen (gas) to put out fires. That way you can avoid the problem of preventing things from burning only to destroy them by getting them wet.

[@naoimporta58]

Jonathan Nellis I've seen with CO2, never with nitrogen . But I bet that he wouldn't be so brave as to do that with a tank filled with hydrogen .

[@JeffersonLab]

Eros Viana Intelligence would be a greater factor than bravery.

[@naoimporta58]

Jefferson Lab Yeah, I think it would need more dumbness than bravery to do that . Also, great channel, found it today, congrats on it and it's cool that you guys take time to talk to your fans .

[@helpmycatsonfire]

Best troll ever.

[@lukavignjevic719]

I actually enjoy the build-up, nothing is more enjoyable than an unpredictable teacher. Science can get boring for a younger audience when the outcome is ALWAYS as expected.

[@hawkeye0248]

Well, the helium will give you at least some kind of warning - your voice will sound like that of Donald Duck.

[@CliftonPhotographer]

"Don't do this at home"? I'm a rebel!! I immediately went home and lit a candle. 🕯️ 🔥 😏

[@grantkaze9539]

I am amazed at how this dude managed to captivate so many young minds. This is a quality that is lacking in so many teachers over here in the UK. when I was 13-14 we had to actively seek out our education in science without the schools help because the teachers were unwilling to help us further our knowledge of the world. Subsequently about 50 children in my year suffered in our chemistry classes due to the unwillingness of teachers and the difficulty of getting hold of chemicals at such a young age to do home experiments. Sorry about rant but I would of loved a teacher who got this involved with his lessons over a useless teacher who just taught us the periodic table every chemistry lesson making our lessons a massive yawn fest.

[@cashflo8241]

I jumped when he hit the table

[@adrian23422]

Someone give this teacher an Oscar

[@Annie-gk4mj]

+Adrian C For teaching simple science?

[@BozzleyOfficial]

Why can't you guys see what he's doing? He's getting young individuals excited about science, I think he is an excellent professor and deserves a lot more credit than a bunch of youtube trolls saying "Waste of time". You're completely missing the point. Kudos to you professor keep it up! You could inspire the next Einstein or Newton!

[@Kermy]

I wish this guy was my science teacher! xD
