thats why I hate school, in my school we had chemestry at 4th grade but they never said what the substances was. So basicly school is more useless than youtube
I got my enjoyment from this video because he was pressed for time. I think that is somewhat the point, he is flustered and doesn't have much time to explain which makes it comical as well as interesting.
@@logangraves7259 Oh, if you only knew... ... But this reply comes 8 months afterwards, so, you probably already know... But he can go 60+ minutes speaking nonstop, barely stopping to breathe.
Tbh, when you have the passion to speak about something... out of breath is not a priority, but the information you try to deliver extensively just try to escape from your mouth.. you find this among excited scientist that try to educate people, they just cant stop talking
4:00 - "one of the golden rules: when you have liquids which are boiling - never-ever put them into containers which are tightly sealed. And that's precisely what I'm gonna do now!"
also.. if you think that was a big bang. Now imagine if you made them sealed in very strong bottles made of titanium steel or something. Then to make it even more interesting.. throw them in a camp fire or something. That would be some serious pressure.
The gradual increase in the energy of his talk along with the increase energy of the chemistry is absolutely brilliant. Went from changing liquids to explosives! Fantastic!
@@lucaxtshotting2378 "barely technology" ... ... Without chemists you wouldn't have the Li-Ion battery that you use to power your smartphones or laptops, nor would you have silicon for the CPUs that those same devices use... The problem is that he usually does 1hour+ lectures, sometimes over 90minutes, and he just contracted everything to ~15 minutes, a quarter of the time that he usually uses.
So did my middle school science teacher. He also always seem to wear a white lab coat. Coolest teacher ever! He did fun stuff like this guy, and he had a great sense of humor, too.
He used to teach chemistry at my school and he was known as a bit crazy. He used to explode helium balloons multiple times a year. We'd be sitting in a lesso , hear a loud bang and everyone knew it was Szydlo. Not sure if he still teaches there but he was definitely one of the most loved teachers. He used to call everyone "old boy". He wasn't actually the best teacher but it's not hard to see why, he was so excited by what he was teaching he often strayed from the syllabus.
I loved how he was calm and composed in the beginning, and became chaotic towards the end, as if the experiments increased the energy of his molecules ;)
Dude - if this man taught me in science class, I think I would have intentionally become a scientist. That ability to simplify, humor and teach - is rare. Thank you sir for an insightful 15 minutes.
To him, every chemistry experiment is normal. Because he already knows what is going to happen. But he still performs each with passion for the delight of his audience.
As a chemist myself, I see this and this is entertainement for me. Even if I already know everything shown here, I find it really beautiful and amazing still :)
Can you feel his humble gratitude in the end? He was out of breath, his old heart pumping its hardest and he never skipped a beat. This man is a legend. I hope he gets another couple decades. Thank you Andrew Szydlo. This was illuminating as it was entertaining.
"on to my favorite topic, which is fire" spoken like a true mad scientist xD Jokes aside, Prof-. Szydlo is brilliant and I would love a conversation with this man.
That whole thing where he was like 'now there's something you should never do for safety reasons... I'll show you it now.' Has such science teacher energy

Yanina Gómez You don’t have to apologize for making mistakes, it’s okey to make mistakes, and you can learn through making them. Side note: I had the same thought just before reading your comment. It would be amazing having teachers like him, and really learning in friendly and exciting ways. It’s a shame our education systems do not aim to make us interested in learning, but to the exact opposite thing.
Absolutely right Yanina! This would have make me WANT to be a chemist TOO! But, no, instead we had to have this boring lecture about what we will see this year (and since we knew nothing of what he meant at the time was pretty much useless)... That's the difference between a wise teacher and a boring old fart. I got a 49% in chemistry that year... only to get a 89% on my final school year, thanks to a woman chemist teacher who was extraordinary, kind, funny and very knowledgeable. I will just use your own word... ''AMAZING''!!!
There are a couple problems. Without a really well equipped lab no principal would allow an open flame on the scale of burning metal/oxidizer mix that are flash powders, and igniting explosive or even flammable gasses in a balloon.his (and mine) favourite part of the show would not be allowed at most schools. You'll have to make due with a small piece of sodium in water.

Of all the MANY TED TALKS I have watched this British gentleman chemist has ABSOLUTELY fascinated me not only with his chemistry demonstrations but with his high energy output, his ability to multitask, his mannerisms, Brit vernacular, and all I was able to absorb in less than 16 minutes. Plus the topic was not that of dealing with death, disease, violence or anything negative. I want to get a quart of liquid nitrogen. Shouldn't be too difficult as it's not a controlled substance, doesn't seem to be a component of anything illegal or immoral. First use would be re: flash freezing perishable food. Then on to replicating one or two things done with this OUTSTANDING video using safety glasses, gloves and a friend to video the endeavour. Again; this TED TALK was the best.
If you want to flash freeze things (you don't want to eat afterwards) you can get some dryice and put it in ethanol. Liquid nitrogen is actually quite hard to get and you'll need a proper container for it so it doesn't all boil away until you got it home
"Never ever put them into containers which are tightly sealed well... that's precisely what I'm going to do now". I learned chemistry and had fun at the same time.

@@cbernier3 While I am much older and took chemistry many years ago- my five kids got nothing as charming and interesting as this presentation. Chemistry was taught with such a focus on abstractions and presented with such boredom that there is little wonder that no one wanted to pursue it. I had a math prof for master's stats who helped me understand that it all applied to the real world. I got an A even though I had believed that I was not good at math. I now believe that our very finest teachers should be teaching at earlier stages than university. What I remember of my high school chemistry is that my teacher drowned when his car went into a canal after an accident and the electrics failed so that he could not get out. His replacement was a sour puss.
Well, this might be good for a single day of intro to chemistry, but he's hardly teaching anything at all. There's quite a lot of details he left out about every one of these reactions
camera man can run faster than cheetahs, and has been to multiple universes and outer space, and seen world apocolypses, among other things, a bang wont faze him
I love this guy. His fire lecture from the university with his 2 helpers was fantastic as well. When a professor gets you really involved, has fun and teaches you at the same time, they are really a great teacher.
Jumpscare warnings: - The first two bottles go off at 8:21 and 8:22. - The third bottle goes off at 9:10. - The glass beaker does not noticeably shatter. - Mortar detonation at 14:21.
I had a blast watching this. He talked about the subject so well and with so much enthusiasm that I actually couldn't keep my eyes off of him waiting to see what he will do next.
Best Ted talk I have seen yet. From professional to mad scientist, all the while entertaining. This, ladies and gentlemen is how you get young minds interested in complex understanding. Why schools are so boring is beyond me, I have learned from these talks that you can make anything interesting/fun/engaging if you just relay the information in a light and simple way. If I had this guy as a teacher, I would have been at the front of the class instead of the back sleeping.
I live his demonstrations so much! At the middle of his presentations, he always has to pick up the pace because he's running out of time and he always manages to pull it off like champion.
At least he straight to the point of teaching. Everything his teach is important. Unlike my lecturer, sometime they mention something that i dont need to know for 3 hour class :(
That guy was easily the most entertaining scientist I've ever seen... I could watch him in mad shambles over the reaction of baking soda and vinegar for all I care, that was amazing lol
Ah, Andrew :D love the guy. A couple years ago, when he visited my uni I was initially angry, that despite having a chemistry showman doing a PhD in this facility they invited someone else. But it was worth seeing him. And now - he has just expanded my chemistry shows with one trick :D Thank You again Andrew :D
It's people like this man who got me _really_ into chemistry when I was younger. It's one of my very favorite subjects of study now. Bless these people for making learning so fun.
If I had a chemistry teacher like him, I wouldn’t have struggled with medicinal chemistry during college! A perfect teacher!!! Enthusiastic Energetic Motivational And above all hilarious!

What I remember of my high school chemistry is that my teacher drowned when his car went into a canal after an accident and the electrics failed so that he could not get out. His replacement was a sour puss.
@Babu Rao Ganpat Rao Apte Fantastic. People like you can change the world! Good luck.
Well, this might be good for a single day of intro to chemistry, but he's hardly teaching anything at all. There's quite a lot of details he left out about every one of these reactions

I think you need to recalculate. There was at least 18% "thank you", which is more than what is in the 'other' category.
@@insayno9959 my apologies mate. I forgot about the "thank you" 's!
You forgot "I wanted to show you" and "Watch carefully"
@@TheSkogemann true!
Well, that happens during a talk about ...CHEMISTRY ;)..
This was the most chaotic TED talk I've ever seen
Much to its benefit
Very orderly chaos...
Among many other imp things this vid is also the Best crash course in “time management during presentations”-love &peace
This is what following your passion looks like.
And its awesome.
15:27 the cameraman is literally fearless
hes not gonna die, hes the camera man.....
@@italianrager5831 you make a good point
He has been frozen with liquid nitrogen so he could not flinch
@@DM-zf6bv lol u killed me
camera man can run faster than cheetahs, and has been to multiple universes and outer space, and seen world apocolypses, among other things, a bang wont faze him
I've never seen someone speedrun a lecture. Science Communication is so important!
I've seen this guy before. He broke down ancient magic tricks and showed its just science. He's so passionate about teaching.
I love this guy.
His fire lecture from the university with his 2 helpers was fantastic as well.
When a professor gets you really involved, has fun and teaches you at the same time, they are really a great teacher.
I request UA-cam, should invent something More than a like button for this kind of videos👌
They do... You can add the video to your favourites.
Legit holding down the like button for a long time should make it a love button.
It's called the subscribe button 😂
yeah you should be able to pay to "Happy-cry" videos
this one would need a flame butten, becuse its that lit

NimbleJack3 mortar WHAT
I respect you, you are a good man, thank you.
Explosion of the ballons as well
I had a blast watching this. He talked about the subject so well and with so much enthusiasm that I actually couldn't keep my eyes off of him waiting to see what he will do next.
School board: you have 15 months before the final exam
Dr Szyldo: 15 MINUTES?!
that's more than a year i doubt a school year would torture you for that long
Best Ted talk I have seen yet. From professional to mad scientist, all the while entertaining. This, ladies and gentlemen is how you get young minds interested in complex understanding.
Why schools are so boring is beyond me, I have learned from these talks that you can make anything interesting/fun/engaging if you just relay the information in a light and simple way.
If I had this guy as a teacher, I would have been at the front of the class instead of the back sleeping.
I wish he was my teacher
Ye
Well not really. He ran a club I did.l and took some cover lessons. He doesn't teach full time anymore
Had he done any classes in school before club
Really if he will be a teacher he will make Amazing minds
He WAS my teacher!
I was more impressed by his non stop teaching rather than experiments.
"It put out the candle! I Knew it would put out the candle. That's gonna add three more second to my Ted Talk."
I live his demonstrations so much! At the middle of his presentations, he always has to pick up the pace because he's running out of time and he always manages to pull it off like champion.
You better write notes fast if you’re taking his class.
Just record it and play it back at 0.1x 😂
@@Yilz19 op
At least he straight to the point of teaching. Everything his teach is important. Unlike my lecturer, sometime they mention something that i dont need to know for 3 hour class :(
Its pretty fast when you watch it in 2x speed
This man looks like science.
Very entertaining. This is the kind of teacher kids need to inspire them.
Damn why doesn't he have more time?
TED talks are supposed to be short.
Too long, and it gets boring. But this guy knows how to get and keep the audience's attention throughout 15 mins
@@altr. there another video with more than hour with same person just search about the name in youtube
Because then he'd have to do actual chemistry rather than talking about chemistry in general and barely explain anything
maybe it was part of the act to make us feel like he is running out of time
whoever grandad this is
can you please share him with me?
absolutely amazing
these are the kind of teachers we need in the world
That guy was easily the most entertaining scientist I've ever seen... I could watch him in mad shambles over the reaction of baking soda and vinegar for all I care, that was amazing lol
Ah, Andrew :D love the guy. A couple years ago, when he visited my uni I was initially angry, that despite having a chemistry showman doing a PhD in this facility they invited someone else. But it was worth seeing him. And now - he has just expanded my chemistry shows with one trick :D
Thank You again Andrew :D
It's people like this man who got me _really_ into chemistry when I was younger. It's one of my very favorite subjects of study now. Bless these people for making learning so fun.
Mr Syzdlo was my chemistry teacher, fantastic teacher.
Did you invent something ?
I'm surprised he's not a professor
You lucky guy.....
What do you do now? Anything with chemistry?
This is the REAL science guy. Enjoyed this video immensely.
wow i wish i had teachers like this in school. so passionate, knowledgeable, well spoken, engaging, and conscious of time!
TEDx TALKS, the channel where an old scientist gets in a fist fight with a balloon
After you defeat all the run-of-the-mill college professors, you have to fight in this boss match.
I love how frantic he gets as it goes on. Awesome guy
Absolutely brilliant sir, I'm 67 and thoroughly enjoyed that!!
If I had a chemistry teacher like him, I wouldn’t have struggled with medicinal chemistry during college!
A perfect teacher!!!
Enthusiastic
Energetic
Motivational
And above all hilarious!
