That was perfect like how old are you joe u don't remember Sagan or Nye or HS those drugs aren't really helping you reach new heights with your brain joe Rogan everyone the collective consensus champion of the dumb dumb know it alls ladies n gentleman n I refuse to dumb down my contractions to the low standard of todays' autocorrect n US school system like really it's racist to make kids learn colour not color or Pauls' and Paul's n what no need for kids to use protractors in math anymore or write definitions in math class or write labels after a number and did the clothing detergent companies solve ring around the collar problem that was in every commercial in the 80s and 90s and when the school bar was lowered they just so happened to solve ring around the collar on button up shirts you wear a tie with?
Actually, having once been a telecommunications professional, I learned there was once an accident where a couple of Navy Sailors tilted a microwave dish down to clean it and it's surroundings. Not knowing any better, they stood in the line of sight of the dish for a period of time, and, basically, cooked their organs. I believe they died.
It heats the water that is closest to walls of the container which is why the bowl gets hot while middle is cold, it hasn't penetrated deep enough yet. That is why in the instructions it says to stirr it thoroughly halfway through, open door stirr it and put it back in for the remainder of time.
But, these waves are not dangerous... Vibrates ferkciously, at the molecular level. Sounds healthy to put a cell phone to my ear, when I am cold. Lolz.
@@Billy28376 Probably cause of more exposed surface area for microwave radiation to hit the food rather than be partially absorbed on the bowl. Different materials will obviously make this bowl/plate thing irrelevant though, like using plastic vs ceramic.
It's called heat conduction. The water in the food gets hot and it heats the plate. That's why it gets hot under where the food is and you can still hold the side. Try it with a mug of water. You can still hold the handle. Those science classes you said you'd never use irl... well ya. That's not true.
I love the back and forth these two have. They're both awesome by themselves, but the banter between them (Joe fuckin' with him, and Neil being absolutely business makes for a great dynamic. Totally entertaining, and makes me want to hang with them even more.
The food heated the plate. And since water actually needs quite a bit of energy to warm up, it itself didn't get hot enough. Basically, water needs more energy to heat up the same amount as other things, so you could give enough energy to heat the plate 10° without giving the water enough. Also, microwaves don't heat things homogeneously (that's why it spins) so some parts could get heated enough but when you mix the soup you mix the hot parts with the cold ones, resulting in it being colder than expected. But the plate takes longer to cool, so it retains all that energy the water imparted to it and it takes it a bit to get cold again. Sorry this answer was a mess, and I could be wrong about everything, but hope it helped. If you want to prove the water heated the plate, put an empty plate and it shouldn't get hot (it'll warm a bit depending on the moisture in the air). Another experiment is to take out the spinning plate and putting a bar of chocolate. It'll melt on some spots and stay cold on others, this explains why the food ends up cold when you mix it, you are essentially mixing the melted chocolate with the cold one and getting the average.
@GRX ceramic plates that hold a lot of moisture never make it out of the kiln as intact ceramic plates. Ceramic is a decent heat conductor, so it is stealing the heat from your warming food, leaving the food cool while it burns your fingers.
He is a bit full of himself for sure - there are more intelligent people out there that don't particularly want to be under the media spotlight all the while
@@Joe-rm7rr actually no, I'd no idea about that, but having witnessed others such as Dr Hillary Jones on British Breakfast TV quickly disappear up his own arse coz he thought he was more important than he actually was, just made me sick. I put NDT in the same category. I guess everybody is entitled to their 15 minutes of fame, but both these individuals have had way more than that. Fuck knows why.....
I learned a lot of new things today in just one video. Basically relearned everything I need to know about microwaves everything I knew before was wrong. That’s awesome to learn that. Thanks for the video guys.
Depends on the type of plate. Although I know what you mean. We have some plates that really don't heat up much at all. But there's 1 type of plate we own, that heats up soooo much!
My guy not a plastic plate. If you use a glass bowl or anything else registered as a conductor then yea it was capture some of the heat from the contents in the bowl or plate
here's an experiment for you. Put a ceramic or similar plate in the microwave by itself for 10 minutes and see what you get. I bet it isn't hot. What makes the plate hot is the food on it transferring heat to the plate. But without food getting hot, no heat transfer will happen thus plate be cold.
@@phatdabzallday4312 that never ever happens. Maybe the center of the hot pocket is still cold, but the outside of the hotpocket is heating the plate. Now try with a paper plate, something that doesn't hold heat very well. You won't have a paper plate that is on fire or hot. You'll figure it out one day, I'm sure.
@@mentals555 nah bruh i be cookin potatoes n the plate feel like Satan jus took a shit on it while the Potato is jus sittin there hard like a rock even when i poked holes in that hoe.
@@IAmNessie Cheaper plates aren't always microwave safe, my Corelle plates are made of a material that only absorbs a minimal amount of microwave radiation
I'm honestly so tired of hearing about the chocolate bar melting in some dudes pocket. Yes I'm sure at some point someone was prolly hanging around some communications equipment and noticed their food or drinks getting warm, but that's not why we have commercial, consumer grade microwave ovens today.
It is literally scientifically incapable of doing so. Just because the plate conducts the heat from your food, does not mean that the microwave oven or the waves themselves heat the plate
Nearly had it close , it was used in ww2 as radar , having so much stock wondering what to use it for after the war he switched one on and it melted the chocolate bar next to it
@AmeriBold I asked my sisters 4 year old and he answered: "The plate heats because water vapor from the food condenses on the plate and heats it." Why didn't you know this?
I remember when cell phones first came out, and there was an episode of inside edition or something like that and they says cell phones would give us cancer
I don't know the science behind it but yeah, certain types of glass like to heat up with microwaves as well. I do know that at 1300°C (or around that mark) clay reaches "vitrification", so maybe the difference is plates and mugs that are microwave-safe haven't been fired to that point while those that have do reacr to the microwaves... something to look up.
@@reloadseven2198 if that was the case food wouldn't be cold while the plates hot.. food would be hot too if the heat was transferring from the food to the plate and there are plenty of times where that's exactly the case especially with spaghetti.. cold noodles hot ass bowl or plate
@@fallout3freak360 yeah…and no. I think it was Electroboom did a video that the metal itself isn’t what causes failure/fire/explosions, something about sharp pointed ends like on a fork or foil causing the sparks but on a smooth surface it won’t. Don’t do it, obviously, because there’s also the factors of the model microwave itself and how its designed to work…but the metal in the microwave bit isn’t as what we were taught as kids (and still believe as adults)
@@dragonhart6505 close conductive surfaces will cause sparks, but the bigger issue is that the reflected waves can destroy the magnetron. Given a strong enough field, everything becomes a conductor - if your microwave was a lot stronger you’d see arcing even without the metal.
This is the 1st neil clip ive actually enjoyed in a while. He articulated a lot of interesting knowledge in a short period without being over zealous about it.
@@sir_carlos6907 so you ever put meat in a microwave? You do know that your meat too correct? Also interesting fact, I've lit a cigarette in a microwave.
@@sir_carlos6907 It actually has nothing to do with the moisture when he said things without moisture won’t heat up. It has everything to do with the amount of electric dipoles in the object you microwave. Water molecules coincidentally also have electric dipoles. Other things can also have electric dipoles without being moisture based.
Thats also the reason why cheap mugs that have a lot of air bubbles in them get stupidly hot meanwhile the thing you wanted to heat up in said mug is barely warm
@Ken Harris ye like a Kindergarten child who learned about a topic and is now trying to convince you. Problem is its cute if my 6 y/o nephew tries it, not if a +40 y/o scientist tries it
My father who served as a radar installation technician (T5) told me stories about having to constantly tell the troops to quit trying to warm themselves by standing in front of the radar dish. And how he thought he was in trouble when he was on Bougainville Island after finding a way to double the range of his radar, because the OSS flew out there, and immediately took him to San Francisco to explain to the generals what he did exactly. Later became an officer in the army becoming an airborne Ranger.He also did some stuff at atomic city later on. Many interesting stories he told about WWII. But only one about Korea.
Yeah, 'cause having your molecules vibrated hard enough that you start heating up from the inside is totally harmless. That's why it's ALWAYS required for high intensity transmitters to be turned off before they get worked on or around. Be they radar, shortwave, longwave or microwave. I'm sure they do this for funzies, and totally not because numerous antenna workers have died of cancer before these rules were instated. Thank you so much for your expertise, Mr Tyson. Where would we be without you? 🤦🏼♂️
He really thinks he knows everything about everything doesn't he?! Probably paid🤑 by the microwave companies 😈to say that.🗣️😵💫🤝😚😉🤭🤫😬😔😐🤨🙄😡🤯 I've never heard this story from anyone, 🤥🤥EVER! In my 35 years of life you'd think someone would have said something about how the microwave came about. Now although I have NEVER heard NDT'S version I have heard a story of how the microwave came about and it didn't have anything to do with 🍫 or WWII . 🗣️🖖👽🇷🇪
I don't know either because this same ferocious vibrating happens every time you put a phone in your hand. Ever notice your hand slightly hurting when you've held a phone for a few minutes..... you're getting cooked...slowly
@@TheHadi545 incase you haven't caught on Neil is often full of shit he just talks out his ass about so much stuff he has no more a grasp on than your average joe...
Fun fact, you have to put a tiny layer of water on your food or plate when heating the microwave, that is why sometimes you get a hot plate but cold food. And don't worry about food being soggy, the tiny layer of water evaporates and dries up, while leaving the moisture on your food alone so you don't get a crusty dry pizza.
@@soulstalker4624 There's no "all of a sudden" about it. When you post stupid comments as facts when they are not, expect someone to refute those "facts". Just be grateful that I didn't report your comment and have it taken down. You can't post something as a fact, when it is not. People believe things they read, and it is irresponsible of you to say something is a fact, when it is not. You can put a layer of water on your plate if you wish, but you DON'T HAVE TO, which is what you said was a fact.
@@castleanthrax1833 Reporting a comment cuz someone is giving some innocent advice on how to use a microwave? Yeah, that sounds reasonable, more reasonable than reporting a comment for ACTUAL explicit or inappropriate content. Go back to Twitter buddy, where you can cancel whoever you want over some really minor shit. Ps: Yeah, you really think you gonna change the world by reporting something, bruh, you must be one of them r/nice guys that thinks saying "Hello m'lady" unironically is actually gonna get you some pussy.
I worked with a woman who would only microwave her food if it was in a covered dish, because she didn't want the microwaves to contaminate her food. This is my favorite example of Too Wrong to Argue With.
