Sodium metal, soft, reactive, and squishy

[@WheelerScientific]

This video unintentionally mirrors some of NileRed's talking points from his sodium metal video. That's on me-I respect his work and should've kept a clearer distinction. At the time, I genuinely thought I was creating something original, but looking back, I see how similar it came out. I've made it a point to be more mindful since then, and while it was unintentional, I take full responsibility for my mistake.

I mean you guys are covering science, which involves facts that should be consistent meaning content would be very similar. I don't think anyone would think you were copying him or his ideas. Just a simple showcase of a metal that's cool.

So is it the make up of air that makes it this quality or the heat? Obviously heat correlates to density but so can surrounding compounds in the air. I’m sure I can and probably will look it up right after this but if sodium was in a much cooler temperature it would stabilize similarly? (Mainly slightly denser because of it being colder but for the most part the same) or would it resemble other metals?

He was already partially blind in one eye and had his fair share of scritches and scratches from teaching.
