Is it safe to cut and splice wire a normal 12v-125 amp 1625 watts max extension cord into a hanging light chandeliere fixture that has just two electrical wires?

I assume you mean 125v, 12 amps and 1625 watts max extension cord. This is not technically a proper installation but it should work. The concern is how long are you running the extension cord and how and where are you making the splices. There are a lot of issues at hand that cannot be answered without more information. Electricians generally dislike extension cords. Usually the conductors are small enough they will MELT AND BURN at a current flow that will NOT TRIP THE BREAKER. You should consider it temporary at best. It should not be forgotten nor hidden in a wall or ceiling under ANY circumstances.

Can you plug a refrigerator into a surge protector?

If you mean that the (heavy duty) extension cord has a wire size of #14 or #12 wire in it and that the length is not over 50 feet then you will have no trouble running a refrigerator. Keep in mind that you only use extension cords as a temporary measure and that they are not to be used as replacements for permanent wiring.

Why is it safe to use bare wires in an experiment?

By bare wires i presume that you mean wires not in closed in a protective sheath. As an experiment wires will have to be changed around quickly to see what the results of the connection produce. Once an experiment changes status to equipment production the regulations change to safety. The customer has to be protected from electrical shock. In an electrical experiment safety has to be the responsible of the person doing the experiment.
