Walt's Science Lesson | Cat's in the Bag | Breaking Bad

[@guynehemia4029]

For those of you who don't know, the reason why Walt had a hard time coming up with an example for this is because the first example that came up to his mind was Meth, which is itself a Chirality. While the righthanded version of it is the drug we all know, the left handed version of it is an innocent nasal blockage medicine. This is one of the most common examples when talking about Chirality, and it's the first one to come to Walt's mind, but he didn't wanna talk about it. This show has so much detail.

when you say "full potential" I can't help to think that is a knock to high school science teachers. They may not be working on cutting edge stuff, but you face another set of problems.

He shared his devotion to chemistry in a way that people can understand which is meth but also his enemies experienced chemistry as well. For example Tuco with the mercury, Gus with the bomb, he escaped in that room that Mike put him etc.

[@danielclinkman7683]

I read a really good fan analysis that theorized that Walt intentionally chose a public high school job instead of a university position, because doing so allowed him to be the smartest person in the room. The person suggested that Walt's ego required being surrounded by intellectual inferiors. It was pretty thought-provoking.

[@futuremovieactor]

@@danielclinkman7683 That's one theory, but another could be that Walt was sattled with a high school job because no college hired him and no college hired him because he gave up his stake in a mulit-million dollar company for no reason--thus why he became so lowly and put down and eventually made crazy decisions based mostly on boosting his own self-worth. Another theory is he wanted to have the biggest effects on the youngest students possible because then he was the most influential to them in their science teachings that way.

They keep experimenting, but couldn't explain what was going on, because at their time, the electron hadn't been discovered yet. It wasn't until JJ Thompson discovered the electron in 1897, that Lenard and Hallwasch could finally complete their experiments and conclude it. These are instances in history about science that teach us a lot about circumstances, about how problems we face today could be explained by something much more fundamental that we are yet to discover.

If I was student of him, I would aprecciate every teach, every lesson...

[@Rywolt519]

The reference to thalidomide here is actually the same example that my professor went over in organic chemistry earlier this semester. Gosh I love this show!!

[@ninjaguyYT]

Teachers always use the same examples. Stats: AIRPLANES WITH BULLETHOLES. SURVIVORSHIP!!! Engineering: ORINGS!!! SPACE SHUTTLE. History: HOLOCAUST Business: FORD PINTO COST OF BUSINESS

[@badgerp-chanqueen7707]

Walt is better than my actual science teacher.

[@yampolskie]

I thought that kid gonna drop a "did I stutter?"

[@Cheka__]

Maybe 10% of my college professors were as interesting as Walter.

[@ninjaguyYT]

Why would someone ask if something so simple would be on the midterm? "Chirality is same but mirrored. It means hand." "Do I need to memorize that?!"

[@egs_mythicgamer4013]

I love how chirality is an analogy for Walt himself he has the ‘safe and inactive’ Walter White side and the the ‘dangerous active’ Heisenberg side

[@IAmSnuffles]

Anyone else come here because they legit forgot what the real sound effect was?

[@karlols2321]

Yes and there was none, how dissapointing

[@timecrashv5wu709]

"Walter White, a former alburquerque high school teacher who was subject of 6 months international manhunt was found dead on late tuesday after a scene of gang massacres which claimed 9 peoples lifes."

[@BG-dq9pp]

I need Walt as my teacher

[@reznov4668]

This topic is one of most common lessons in organic chemistry and I have studied this before

[@Nash9r]

So he fed Skylar the left handed isomer thalidomide? :D

[@gouthamravikumar5636]

Ayy lmao

[@cristiano_9654]

Lol damn

[@hyllaf]

ouch

[@FrapsDirector]

That's dark bro

[@mihirshinde1706]

ROFL

[@yrlbaker]

I've never seen this show, only clips, but if they ever made a YT series of "Mr. White's Chemistry Class", I would probably watch every episode LOL

[@michaelc.4321]

The reason why he stumbled when coming up with an example is because a classic example of this concept is meth amphetamine which in one form is a perfectly safe cold medicine and in the other is the blue crystal stuff

[@mochammadfuadhakim7731]

So sad he is such a good teacher

[@nhanthomasnguyen6231]

Just learned this in class and i searched up on this video. That was pretty cool

[@binitpoddar6252]

Thanks for revision

[@ArkevialStudio-lj7sd]

I wouldn't have taken commerce if I had a chemistry teacher like Walter White

[@ferrer985]

the moment where he still has a moral struggle
