A living creature comes out of gallium … an alien lifeform. This video shows how to fight back when these start coming from the future.

Gallium is the terminator metal because it can change shape, form fidget spinner, go through aluminum and form explosive gases. Some tricks with gallium and Galinstan are shown in the video.
1) Gallium melts in hot sulpuric acid. It can be collected with a micropipette and small droplets join in a very funny way.
Maybe some physicist can explain why gallium does like this.
2) Potassium dichromate crystals are added, which makes gallium wobbling due to the formation of insoluble salts on the metal surface. The change of interfacial tension makes gallium change its shape.
3) In the second experiment, hydrogen peroxide is added instead of dicromate and the gallium groplet is touched with an iron wire. Now gallium makes itself as flat as possible and white layer (oxide?, sulphate?) forms at the metal surface. When gallium is heated shortly with a torch, it forms a single droplet and then again makes itself flat. Gas bubbles (probably oxygen) start bubbling through the metal and it becomes a flat white flower.
4) Then we prepared galinstan by heating together solid metals gallium (68%), tin (22%) and indium (10%). While gallium melts at 29.8 °C, Galinstan is even liquid at −19 °C. It can be spread onto a glass to make a mirror. Gallium and galinstan form an alloy with aluminum and this alloy reacts with water releasing hydrogen. So it can be used to store energy – aluminium and water on board of a hydrogen fuel cell car can make several times more hydrogen than high pressure hydrogen balloons could possibly accommodate and it is safer as well.

That's pretty much how life came to being. We are bunch of random chemicals that kept lumping together until one day it gained consciousness and that is honestly quite freaky for me.
1:40 that's how Gallium Fidget Spinner born
1:40 this is how fidget spinners were discovered
How the f**k i ended up here
1:38 FIDGET SPINNER!
Fidet Spinner 1:40
stop torturing that poor Gallium drop :'(
The Thumbnail reminds me of a fidget spinner (of which we have just casually made a video on our channel).
Maybe it's time to see a doctor.
i clicked on the thumbnail thinking it was another gallium fidget spinner video
fidget ?
1:39 holy shit is that the firs natural fidget spinner?
This guys were making fidget spinners before it was cool.
.. and thus the fidget spinner was born.
I thought it was a spinner
is that a fidget spinner?
1:41 i cant stop seeing a fidget spinner
help.
Spinner on preview
inb4 someone says this is oddly satisfying…
fidget spinner thumbnail
this looks like a fidget spinner
1:40 Hey look! A fidget spinner!
it looks like fidget spinner on the picture omg
1:40 So this is how they make a hand spinner.
1:39 They told me I could be anything…
So I became a Fidget Spinner
I just thought i had seen a fidget spinner in the thumbnail, but now im really watching something interesting
Thumbnail gallium looks like the spinner.
AGAR.IO
1:40 Fidget spinner.
I'll see myself out.
1:39 Fidget Spinner
IT LOOKS LIKE A FIDGET SPINNER
Is this stuff magnetic?
it is the terminator…. and it took the shape of a fidget for a moment there… lol
why the thumbnail look like a fidget spinner?
STOP IT. I know what you guys are thinking, JUST DONT FUCKING SAY IT, THAT TREND NEEDS TO PERISH.
1:41 Look! A fidget spinner!
who thought this was gonna to be another fegget spinner?
agar io :DD
