There maybe many states of matter, but in elections, there are really only a few states that matter
Hey Kids! Don't forget to stay hydrated and drink your H2O rather than than the Dioxygen Monohydrogen (O2H) as seen at 3:22! Well, I guess it's time to flip the old "Consecutive Episodes Without a Technical Error" Sign back to 0.
Nucleon as a frozen state of Quark-Gluon plasma is a fascinating concept that will change forever the way I look at the world. Epiphanies like this are the main reason I watch PBS Space Time. Thanks guys! 😄
And then there is the state of confusion. I only knew about 4 states of matter. This is fascinating to find out that there are more states of matter.
If anyone reads this, here’s a fun question you can ask people: “Can you think of a system in which you mix a liquid and gas and get a solid WITHOUT any chemical reactions or change in temperature/pressure etc…?” The answer is… Whipped cream! The sneaky part is that cream at refrigerator temperature contains colloidal fat (a frozen emulsion if you like) and when you whip air into it those solid particles stabilize the air bubbles. When enough air bubbles are introduced a continuous structure-spanning interfacial solid network of fat droplets stabilizes the cream as a solid. If you keep whipping, the fat droplets aggregate further into clumps and the air bubbles are no longer stable. The fat droplets aggregate enough to phase separate, while the air is lost as nothing is stabilizing the bubbles any more. You’re left with a fat phase, which we call butter and an aqueous phase that we call buttermilk. Get yourself some heavy/double cream, a small plastic container, and a marble and churn your own butter in a matter of seconds! Talking of cream and matter, ice cream is an interesting combination of states of matter. It’s a frozen emulsion stabilized foam embedded in a gel of ice crystals themselves embedded in a liquid sugar syrup. Delicious states of matter.
This episode absolutely blew my mind. Carl Sagan himself would be so proud of your work and that of the entire team. Thank you, Matt, and the entire PBS space-time crew. You truly shine a light into life and make this world better and more self aware. Thank you for your hard work!!
the one 2nd grader watching this is boutta get so much clout in science class
I find soap foam fascinating. A combination of a liquid and a gas that partially behaves like solid. Fun to play with too!
Having survived four separate courses on thermodynamics for materials science - phase diagrams of solid state alloys all day long - no one did such a good job of explaining what we were actually trying to study....... Also, the smashing snowballs analogy is glorious. Thank you!!
You forgot Umami.
