anyway hi I’m urgent I’m going to talk
anyway hi I’m urgent I’m going to talk today about the science behind
today about the science behind
today about the science behind inventions and how even when you’re
inventions and how even when you’re
inventions and how even when you’re failing you’re succeeding now I always
failing you’re succeeding now I always
failing you’re succeeding now I always considered myself an aspiring scientist
considered myself an aspiring scientist
considered myself an aspiring scientist I’ve always wanted to become a scientist
I’ve always wanted to become a scientist
I’ve always wanted to become a scientist it’s been in my blood for a long time so
it’s been in my blood for a long time so
it’s been in my blood for a long time so when I was a kid one of the first
when I was a kid one of the first
when I was a kid one of the first science experiments I did I got off of
science experiments I did I got off of
science experiments I did I got off of this little book at God as the present a
this little book at God as the present a
this little book at God as the present a hundred and one crazy science
hundred and one crazy science
hundred and one crazy science experiments I took a little empty bottle
experiments I took a little empty bottle
experiments I took a little empty bottle of Cola filled it up vinegar and added
of Cola filled it up vinegar and added
of Cola filled it up vinegar and added baking soda
baking soda
baking soda now all of you have heard of this very
now all of you have heard of this very
now all of you have heard of this very old experiment it bubbles and you know
old experiment it bubbles and you know
old experiment it bubbles and you know it frauds and there’s like nice little
it frauds and there’s like nice little
it frauds and there’s like nice little smell of gas and it’s so cool for a
smell of gas and it’s so cool for a
smell of gas and it’s so cool for a little kid but I decided that I wanted
little kid but I decided that I wanted
little kid but I decided that I wanted to see what this gas was I took a
to see what this gas was I took a
to see what this gas was I took a balloon and put it over the mouth of the
balloon and put it over the mouth of the
balloon and put it over the mouth of the bottle the balloon swelled up the gas by
bottle the balloon swelled up the gas by
bottle the balloon swelled up the gas by the way is carbon dioxide a common gasps
the way is carbon dioxide a common gasps
the way is carbon dioxide a common gasps that’s found everywhere on the earth so
that’s found everywhere on the earth so
that’s found everywhere on the earth so I took the balloon and tied it up and I
I took the balloon and tied it up and I
I took the balloon and tied it up and I took another balloon and fill it up with
took another balloon and fill it up with
took another balloon and fill it up with normal air and I drop both of them so
normal air and I drop both of them so
normal air and I drop both of them so what happens when a balloon drops its
what happens when a balloon drops its
what happens when a balloon drops its drifts it slowly slowly slowly hits the
drifts it slowly slowly slowly hits the
drifts it slowly slowly slowly hits the ground but my other balloon the one
ground but my other balloon the one
ground but my other balloon the one filled with carbon dioxide dropped like
filled with carbon dioxide dropped like
filled with carbon dioxide dropped like a stone now what happened my
a stone now what happened my
a stone now what happened my five-year-old mind was stunned how could
five-year-old mind was stunned how could
five-year-old mind was stunned how could do things that were the same color look
do things that were the same color look
do things that were the same color look the same had the same type of stuff in
the same had the same type of stuff in
the same had the same type of stuff in them to act so differently so I did a
them to act so differently so I did a
them to act so differently so I did a little research and then I discovered
little research and then I discovered
little research and then I discovered density now it’s not like density had
density now it’s not like density had
density now it’s not like density had never been discovered before and no one
never been discovered before and no one
never been discovered before and no one had like it wasn’t like I’m going to win
had like it wasn’t like I’m going to win
had like it wasn’t like I’m going to win a Nobel Prize for discovering density
a Nobel Prize for discovering density
a Nobel Prize for discovering density rediscovering density but the thing is I
rediscovering density but the thing is I
rediscovering density but the thing is I discovered it on my own for myself for
discovered it on my own for myself for
discovered it on my own for myself for the first time and that made all the
the first time and that made all the
the first time and that made all the difference today because of that one
difference today because of that one
difference today because of that one experiment I still want to do chemistry
experiment I still want to do chemistry
experiment I still want to do chemistry I still want to go and do and learn and
I still want to go and do and learn and
I still want to go and do and learn and that is what I love about science when
that is what I love about science when
that is what I love about science when you do you learn there is no other way
you do you learn there is no other way
you do you learn there is no other way when a scientist does something he
when a scientist does something he
when a scientist does something he doesn’t just do it so that the
doesn’t just do it so that the
doesn’t just do it so that the experiment goes off well when he does it
experiment goes off well when he does it
experiment goes off well when he does it there’s a thousand and one way he’s it
there’s a thousand and one way he’s it
there’s a thousand and one way he’s it can go wrong but the question is
can go wrong but the question is
can go wrong but the question is why did it go wrong and this question in
why did it go wrong and this question in
why did it go wrong and this question in the way when you try to answer it you
the way when you try to answer it you
the way when you try to answer it you lead to more question you find more
lead to more question you find more
lead to more question you find more questions and then after a question
questions and then after a question
questions and then after a question after question after question until you
after question after question until you
after question after question until you find one answer and that one answer is
find one answer and that one answer is
find one answer and that one answer is the solution to all your problems take
the solution to all your problems take
the solution to all your problems take for example the inventor of a microscope
for example the inventor of a microscope
for example the inventor of a microscope a series of unfortunate events led to
a series of unfortunate events led to
a series of unfortunate events led to him discovering microwaves he had a bar
him discovering microwaves he had a bar
him discovering microwaves he had a bar of chocolate in his pocket and he was
of chocolate in his pocket and he was
of chocolate in his pocket and he was experimenting with microwave emitters
experimenting with microwave emitters
experimenting with microwave emitters and then he discovered that suddenly the
and then he discovered that suddenly the
and then he discovered that suddenly the bar of chocolate in his pocket had
bar of chocolate in his pocket had
bar of chocolate in his pocket had melted now how does that even happen and
melted now how does that even happen and
melted now how does that even happen and that was a completely new concept and
that was a completely new concept and
that was a completely new concept and revolutionized what we take for granted

discovered a radioactivity when a rock
discovered a radioactivity when a rock ruined a couple of his photo frames it
ruined a couple of his photo frames it
ruined a couple of his photo frames it seems that all of science is a series of
seems that all of science is a series of
seems that all of science is a series of unfortunate events or should I say semi
unfortunate events or should I say semi
unfortunate events or should I say semi unfortunate because at the end of it you
unfortunate because at the end of it you
unfortunate because at the end of it you always learn something new so many
always learn something new so many
always learn something new so many things have been created by accident but

it’s mixed up soap which obviously I
it’s mixed up soap which obviously I don’t want Here I am trying to figure
don’t want Here I am trying to figure
don’t want Here I am trying to figure out how to get acid out of soap and then
out how to get acid out of soap and then
out how to get acid out of soap and then I think what if i add bleach to it so
I think what if i add bleach to it so

disgusting smell now what happened the
disgusting smell now what happened the bubble is chlorine gas I wasn’t able to
bubble is chlorine gas I wasn’t able to
bubble is chlorine gas I wasn’t able to sit in that room for a week it smelled
sit in that room for a week it smelled
sit in that room for a week it smelled that bad so that expand was a complete
that bad so that expand was a complete
that bad so that expand was a complete and utter failure but on the plus side i
and utter failure but on the plus side i
and utter failure but on the plus side i learned how to make chlorine gas at home
learned how to make chlorine gas at home
learned how to make chlorine gas at home just in case like safeguard against any
