    i love how you can see from like 10 miles away that this guy is a scientist
  • I am so jealous of the professor's ability to hold such a long ad hoc speach about a rather more complicated matter in a concise mnanner without "umms" and "ahs"..
  • @KilgoreTroutAsf
    looking forward to elements 121 and over; the first with g-orbital electrons and therefore a complete new chemistry.
  • @dexterrity
    5:05 I love Professor Poliakoff's excitement of being in the atom-creation-room
  • @CarthagoMike
    who knows what the Periodic Table will look like in 50 years
  • @hrsmp
    6:45 quote translates roughly as "the limits of scientific knowledge and prediction, are unforeseenable".
  • If this starts a new row on the periodic table, that implies that it would have a new electron shell, right? Do scientists know what shape a new shell will take?
  • @astrojig5014
    Professor, now we are getting so high in Z, could you discuss the fabled island of stability in a future video?
  • @ThinkLiveLaugh
    What a great time period to be alive! 2 new superheavy elements! And a new row on the period table! It must be so exciting to be in that room! I wonder what they will name them It is so cool that Sir Professor Poliakoff travels to all these places to show us the historical places where everything came from and is being made! Thank you Periodic Videos! :D
  • @kguy152000
    Periodic Videos holds a very special place in my heart and I am always grateful when you are able to upload one.
  • @maglev2000
    I always get so happy when a new video gets released. Hopefully, you have more videos from Dubna.
  • @mishavolume
    I'm from Russia and i very glad to see you in my country!
  • @wratched
    When I was in secondary school, they'd just made Element 109. Now I'm in my 40s and they've gone 10 up. I wonder if I will see the end of the periodic table...
  • @1234lavaking
    Dr. Poliakoff, Did you speak to Dr. Oganessian in English or Russian?
  • This kind of video gets me really excited for the future of chemistry and technology for research. It's quite interesting. The professor's fascination is simply radiant. Thanks for a great video!
  • @DarthVador2023
    Any update on this video? I think it says it was 2017. It is now January 2022.. Is the place setup yet to test?
  • @Life_.of-Grace11
    This professor seems to know just about everything I swear keep going and he'll be the one to make 121, 122, 123 etc
  • @larrygall5831
    Another fascinating video from my favorite chemistry professor. Great job!
