    Both Argon and Neon are also used in so-called excimer lasers. ArF lasers are notably used for deep-UI semiconductor lithography. Some people may also know the He-Ne (Helium-Neon) laser, often used for school demonstrations.

    Watching this video made me realize that the use of dynamite in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, which is set during the American Civil War (1861-1865) was anachronistic by a few years, as dynamite wasn’t invented until 1866, nor commercially available until a few years later.

    Might be interesting to do a video on how they mastered the industrial production of such a sensitive material. They had to figure out how to nitrate glycerin safely, store it safely, and to build nitration facilities that could be run remotely, In earlier days the nitration shed had slides on the sides of the building so the operator could escape if the nitration showed signs of getting out of control. Might be interesting also to trace the development of ammonium nitrate as a blasting agent, leading to far less dynamite being used in mining, although gelatin dynamite is still used in some hard rock mines. There's a lot of interesting chemistry history in explosive development, and there's new ones still in development - check out CL-20! Thank you kindly for the great video! Cheers...

      And he would have noted first hand the vasodilator effects, which led to it being a heart medication years later. Interestingly, powder monkeys (blasters) in mines actually could become addicted to this effect, and some were known to take small pieces of dynamite home on their days off to prevent the migraine - level headaches that resulted from not having some nitro fumes in the air...

    Not 'maybe' but certainly science will bring us back out again, I believe. It took me more than three hours to watch this incredible video because each frame of it is worth paying a huge attention to My most favorite part of this video was where you were talking about the electron and standing waves. It was strangely beautiful. Thanks for making this exceptional video. I believe that it would have been so helpful if you had provided a link of those books from which you copied those excerpts. Its still great, though🎉❤

    Another chemical invention that changed the world is the Haber Process that allow the production of synthetic fertilizer. This allowed world population to multiply by 10 while reducing hunger. It consume about 3% of world energy I think... Basically it is doing the other side of the equation if dynamite: breaking the formidable N2 triple bond.
