Rip old man.

Never heard of him before. What was your favorite video?

Just saw the video. Pretty gutted. One of the best sources for a lot of topics, and motivated me to start my own research. RIP crazy chemist man :(((

Hard to pinpoint a favorite, but the ones I liked most are when he showed a mechanical concept and taught how it works and how to build it. Like this one:

Dangerous as fuck, even in comparison to the sort of stuff that Indian and Filipino DIYers do, but it looked original. May he RIP and find a big ol' garage to tinker about in heaven.

>I thought he had years left in him
He probably would have if he didn't self-terminate. :(

His wife is dead, his health was failing and he had to live in the current day Britain. It's hard for smart people like him to keep going.

i'd been following rob since like 2013 and i just found out today. i cried bitch tears in the most unmanly fashion.

>>2949480 (OP)
Thats fucking bullshit bro.

>>2949672
Understandable when you put it that way.

>>2949480 (OP)
RIP Robert you were a real one holy shit this is fucking bad.

>>2949575
my ass chinned goat will never die

Rest in peace old timer.

Let this be a sober reminder to each of you, you are not an island, don't shut yourself off from others. Let them help you, or at least let them hear you. Isolation is killer.

There wasn't much that anyone could have done to help him. When an old person loses his/her spouse, and in addition has to deal with serious health problems, the will to live quickly disappears. I've seen it happen in my own family. They can't wait to die at that point. And who can blame them? This man had another 20 years of suffering ahead of him, with no light at the end of the tunnel. Think about that.

>>2949480 (OP)
no idea who that is.

Not necessarily.
Joy can come even in these later stages of life. And relying on the family members you DO have is a big part of that.

>>2949480 (OP)
Aww fuck man Rest In Peace dood.

RIP Robert Murray-Smith

Scrolling through his back catalog, there's a shitload of "member only" videos. What happens to all that in a case like this? His estate is only going to make money off them for a couple more months, then it's all just gone unless someone rips it? Or youtube holds onto it forever hoping idiots will pay up?

Fuck this leveraged to the max youtube bullshit.

>>2951144
What was even on there?
His brother must have access to the channel so he could release it.

>>2951144
>>2951148
I am a member we are hoping they get opened up to all and the channel left as an archive.

Who?

Didnt he say you can make nanotubes with a blender? Literal quack.
