Over the last 52 weeks I've enjoyed sharing with you my fascination with biology.
00:04
If you've been through it with us, you've now got yourself now a pretty deep and complex
00:07
understanding of how life functions, from the chemistry that makes cells work to the
00:12
ecosystems that make the planet work.
00:14
And it's never too late to catch up on those biology and ecology courses; they'll be here
00:17
on Youtube forever.
00:19
But it's time to move onto something new.
00:22
Something bigger because it's smaller, more beautiful because it's invisible, more powerful
00:26
because it's everything.
00:29
Crash Course Chemistry.
00:31
My undergraduate degree is actually in chemistry, and I've been a lifelong lover of this subject,
00:36
not just the rules, and laws, and the bonds, and the coefficients.
00:40
But of the men and women who shaped this science that deepened our understanding of the world
00:44
so magnificently.
00:46
The Siberian misanthrope who would revolution our understanding of matter.
00:50
The German war criminal who saved a billion lives.
00:54
The French aristocrat who created the science of chemistry and all he got for his trouble
00:59
was beheaded.
01:00
And of course all of these stories exist within the greatest science ever.
01:04
What is matter made of?
01:05
How and when do atoms come together and break apart?
01:08
What is an electron?
01:10
Why is silver's chemical symbol Ag?
01:13
How do we fix global warming and live forever?
01:15
The answers to all of these questions (except for the last two) will be contained within
01:19
this course.
01:20
But those last two, if and when they get solved I guarantee you will be solved with the help
01:25
of chemistry.
01:26
And we'll be doing it in this beautiful new set that was designed and created by Nick
01:28
Jenkins.
01:29
And our graphics team, our graphics team, will be 'Thought Cafe'.
01:33
Which is what 'Thought Bubble' has turned into.
01:34
We're slaving away on Crash Course Chemistry now and the first episode should be hitting
01:37
your subscription box within the next couple of weeks.
01:40
Until then, feel free to check out any of the biology that you may have missed, and
01:44
we'll see you soon.
