    Thank you, thank you, thank you Professor. Your chemistry course is wonderful. The best I've ever watched or read. Even the Intro video was very instructive, and what you said about learning chemistry should be said as an introduction to every science course ... because it is the very definition of science: "unless you fundamently understand molecules, all you can do is repeat things you've heard ... but how do you know if what you've heard is right ?". I fell in love with this quote and couldn't help but say it to all the people I know whose reasoning is medieval and not scientific (and there are many of them). I live in Algeria by the way.

    Regarding HEPA Filters I would say this.
    There are many myths and legends about air purifiers. Scientific research is not always consistent with the practice. To understand if air purifier with a HEPA filter can help fight against coronavirus, we must first understand how it works, and above all, its effectiveness.
    If the manufacturer informs that the HEPA filter of a given class (e.g. Commonly used E12 or H13) removes 99.5 or 99.95 the percentage of particles with a diameter of 0.3 µm, this means that 0.3 µm are the most difficult to remove particles for this filter.
    On the other hand, for both larger and smaller particles - due to their specificity it results in greater coping results.
    It is wrong to claim that all particles below 0.3 µm somehow "squeeze" through the filter (such erroneous opinions can be found on the internet). Quite the opposite - HEPA filters perfectly capture particles as small as 0.01 µm, due to the phenomenon of molecular diffusion. This works more effectively on particles smaller than 0.2 µm.
    On the other hand, inertia mechanisms give maximum confidence again from 0.4 µm. Hence in the range of 0.2-0.4 µm, the efficiency of the HEPA H13 filter reduces in laboratory and hospital conditions from 100% to 99.95%.
    The coronavirus diameter ranges from 0.06 µm to 0.12 µm, therefore this is the size the HEPA H13 and H14 filters are a perfect solution to get rid of it.
    We install the H14 class filter in SAFE AIR devices, whose minimum performance was documented with a testing result of 99.99803%.
    It is very important to pay attention to the tightness of the filter itself to make the device actually clean the air, not intensify blowing unwanted particles around the room.
    In the case of filters used in our devices SAFE AIR ensures 100% filter tightness laboratory confirmed.

Plus, the dajjal is Creed is the one teaching that God The Immortal got killed by a satanist roman soldier using a cross that u need to glorify n Say That thus Jesus (God for u)become cursed (Paul galatians) while satan is the lord of the World. Meanwhile in Islam Jesus peace be upon him is blessed all the Time n satan is cursed before reading the Quran n God is nothing like any creation n is Immortal never dies never have to resurrect like all mortals

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains well, you don't just use activated carbon for trapping smaller molecules, you would rather use micro sieves that are made of charcoal and made for different molecule sizes. Also, the "holes" are more shaped like small caves instead of a half sphere as depicted in your video.. the whole trap effect wouldn't work if it was in that shape.

      Well I can concede that I didn't take the time to painstakingly animate the precise geometry of the material. Even if I knew how to do that it would take too long and add very little. The principles of chemisorption are in place.

    Dust or contaminats can also (and normally does) contain thousands of skin cells, or epidermal cells, both plant and animal based. This includes human skin cells. That I kind of creepy to think about. You breath in someone else's skin cells ALL THE TIME.
