Join us for a RUclips Premiere of this demo-packed lecture filmed in the historic Ri Theatre, on Tuesday 5 November 2024, 17.30 BST.
Mark takes us back to the exhilarating and often perilous moments in history when scientists deciphered these substances, often, like the Ri's Humphry Davy, through experimenting on themselves.
Gases, each with its unique personality, power our engines, make drinks fizzy, and even influence neural pathways and plant growth. Mark delves into nitrous oxide's impact on our brains and the gases shaping our climate. This talk is a fact-filled delight, offering a fascinating journey through the significant roles of gases in our modern world.
Join Mark on an exploration that transforms the seemingly ordinary into an extraordinary revelation.
This lecture was recorded at the Ri on 11 July 2024.

Mark is a great science communicator used to watch his stuff on TV. Wish he'd do some more.
Love this guy. Haven't seen him in ages
Solid, when the material maintains its dimensions in terms of volume and shape. Liquid, when the volume of the material remains the same, but the material deforms to fit the container. Gas when the material expands to fit the container.
Jumpin' Jack Flash, its a gas gas gas!
I was going to say that and you were a whole day ahead of me.
Dang. Beat me to it too.
Good to know the joke I thought of just now is already 11 days old XD
Ditto
great!!!
Last time I had a Coke, the Beatles were still together.
Simply: a collection of atoms that have such high average velocity that they tend to increase pressure of other systems trying to find equilibrium.
Bravo
I do the bottle crushing thing, every time I fly, but without the steam.
LIFE!!!!
It’s not just humans.., the Polynesians…..😂
The title of this video is (perhaps unintentionally) HILARIOUS!
Something the onions on my burger give me.

ANSWER: Jumpin' Jack Flash ( it's a gas gas gas ) 😜
I'm not sure how ethical it is making your son drink oil and PTFE. I think it's generally not recommended.
maybe its not his son 🤣😂😅
@@ThePsiclone- Laslo is his son. He mentions his family at the end of the lecture.
However, WD40 is not PTFE.
petro chmicle is in liquid form gasoline in gas form.
Gasoline is the trade name for a small subset of petrochemicals used as vehicle fuel, it's not an either/or description.
Get a new shirt though
The shirt is a good allegory for particles in a gas!
@@esnevip Yes, that was unfair of me - excellent lecture.
it's a "no" for such an esteamed lecture, but if it's a graphical metaphor as suggested then: "maybe".
Gas is why my girl won't let me have burritos.
It's s good sign! She doesn't want you to float away out of her life 🌯 🎈

@@stevedrake6529 it took a while to get used to
I quite enjoyed it, got the crazy scientist vibe and it added a layer of comedy. We need more educators like this man, who excude passion for the topic.
Professors have to talk fast these days to keep everyone interested in the face of declining attention spans
Why is he speaking in his pajamas
