He didn't actually just burn a wedding ring right?

who esle feels like they just wasted four minutes of their life?
He sounds like Gordon Ramsay
You wrong Shirley Bassey.. Diamonds Aren't Forever 😛

he called him cheap at the end just by saying it was low quality diamond
Like if you're here from captainspaklrez liquid carbon lecture!
Without a PhD the diamond would burn 2C + O2 –> 2 CO, not even producing hyper-expensive lime water. Cool reaction though.
So sad. RIP Prof Kroto. May you break down into numerous wonderful organics!
low grade diamond lol
Nobel prize winner being just a cool participant in an educational science show is awesome.
What a good man. He made his family proud.
Be humble and change the world for the better!
so diamonds burn or not?
The guy's probably like, "heh what…?u…u just burned my diamond.I… I could've used that"
he sounds a bit like gordorn ramsay
Children in Africa could have eaten that diamond
I mean you could probably just replace it with a manufactured diamond. Unless that ring cost a more than a million, the rock really is pretty worthless.
Guys, he said that the fake diamond is a low grade diamond, not the couple's diamond
This was very neat. In liquid oxygen they burn white and very brightly.
Kiss my arse I love myself.
RIP Sir Kroto
RIP Kroto
This is a small display of what a White Dwarf star is. This shows why no White Dwarf star has burned out in the lifetime of the Universe. They are giant burning diamonds.
Clearly wasn’t her diamond ?He wouldn’t have removed it that easily from her mounting. And getting a diamond that hot would turn it milky white.
I like it, but somehow he sounds annoying… And.. where is an actual supershow of burning the diamond?? Is that all? Just lots of unnecessary talking .
