Summary of The Worst Double Act on the Internet

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The video discusses the work of two scientists, Peter and Pete, who claim that carbon dioxide does not exist in air. It demonstrates how to do a test to determine whether or not CO2 is present in the air, and argues that the readings from a pH meter would be inaccurate if it detected CO2 in the water. The video then shows how the duo falls apart halfway through their performance.

• 00:00:00 The two scientists, Peter and Pete, make wild claims about water not being made of oxygen and hydrogen. Simon discovers another of their videos, this one claiming that carbon dioxide does not exist within air. Mainstream science tells us that carbon dioxide exists and is released when we breathe it out. The scientists are not very clever.
• 00:05:00 The video discusses the difference between results obtained from a pH meter when carbon dioxide is present versus when it is not present. It argues that, because CO2 does not naturally occur in the atmosphere, the readings from the pH meter would be inaccurate if it detected CO2 in the water. The video then demonstrates how to do a test to determine whether or not CO2 is present in the air.
• 00:10:00 The video demonstrates the worst double act on the internet, Peter and Pete. The duo falls apart halfway through their performance, and the audience has a lot of fun watching it. Surfshark sponsors the video and offers a free deal to Simon Dan viewers.
