Using red dye to demonstrate how Mercury cannot be absorbed by a towel. Mercury has strong cohesion relative to its weaker adhesion. So it does not adhere to dissimilar materials and will bead up. Water is the reverse. If you pour a small amount mercury on a towel, you... show more

And whatever you do, do NOT mix gallium, tin and indium together and then dump it into the mercury along with aluminum, a dash of gold and bismuth and a pinch of silica powder and titanium powder.

Which made clearing up mercury a pain in the ass frankly!

just like culture can't be absorbed by ratchet skanks $SLAP 🫱

It’s all based on density, water’s density is way less than mercury! It’s a liquid metal! 🤘 Got it? -Mercury is one of only two metal minerals that’s in a liquid state under normal atmospheric pressure & temps! 💯

It's an overused word, but this is so INTERESTING! Such an exotic property. There's gotta be some ingenious tech we could invent that uses this principle.

So water suffers from anxious attachment while mercury has avoidant attachment. We’ve all been traumatized.

That's not how you make red mercury!!!

This video annoys me because he doesn’t help you know what to do if it spills.

And the idiots making this video are breathing deadly mercury vapors and contaminating themselves with a dangerous heavy metal

Mercury’s cleaner than the EPA.

We had so much fun playing with Mercury as kids…only problem was when you dropped it on the living room rug…it just disappears into the rug…never to be found again…so disappointing

I guess it’s why the mad hatters used it on beaver pelts, since they would repel water, but as to what purpose it actually did anything, I’m not sure.

I’m curious what happened to all the mercury and red dye now, just poured down the drain for the rest of us to enjoy in our drinking water?

Neat demo—mercury’s cohesion is wild

Good demonstration

You would be surprised how salty mercury tastes

Wearing the gloves is pointless. Methylmercury is the one that's toxic. Elemental mercury does NOT want to combine with anything.

@grok would this work with liquid gallium?

💯

@grok how dangerous is this

What’s the song playing in the video?

@grok then why our skins can absorb mercury?

Mercury don’t play with towels, lol

👍 👌 ✅

Jesus, hello mercury poisoning

This is why it's always such a pain to clean up a bottle of spilled mercury.
