"Many viewers have wanted me to compile my mercury videos into a single video. Some are simple and seemingly mundane while others seem to defy physics. Mercury has such odd properties. It is extremely dense, it has a VERY high surface tension, it is electrically conductive, and it is a metal that is a liquid at low temperatures. It only appears to be similar to gallium, but everything else is quite unique and extreme to mercury, including toxicity.

Mercury is hazardous and you should not attempt to do these experiments for your own safety."
