Today I am more worried about the long term effect of plastic pollutants in the environment than I am of mercury, certainly not from this guy.

Don�t get me wrong, I am both conscious of the environment, health and safety - BUT we are so judgmental when somebody goes back to the basics of experimentation. This was a pretty nice experiment and because of its basic presentation all the more powerful and easy to understand. You don�t need a lab to be interested in science, you don�t need a degree. People are curious, triggering that curiosity is something positive. Responsible behavior is subjective - as long as we are not talking about laws and regulations - but within that bandwidth give people some slack. We did not get where we are by always playing safe. People are curious creatures, lets keep it that way.

Curiosity and freedom go hand in hand, as long as you don�t physically endanger or hurt someone else (or the environment) it should not be curbed.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Peace.

There are creatures that eat plastic bags for food. In fact, you can usually buy them fairly easily. There are bacteria that eat petroleum for food. If the mercury can combine with Sulpher, then it is rendered inert.

I have previously seen a granite rock floating on mercury that was in a beaker.
