I accidentally middle-clicked this link, and I went back to chilling, editing random videos. I heard those weird beeps which play in the intro, and assumed I messed up the project and accidentally implemented a random file. Then I heard a, "HEY EVERYBODY" and got the fright of my life, my chair fell back, and I had actual TEARS of laughter when I discovered that this was the cause lmao
Actually Lots of people have so I might pin this response. The egg just thawed out and returned to a clear liquid; Boiling doesn't cook things, heat does.
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't really sure exactly what would happen given I don't have any experience with vacuum chambers beyond these videos but, I guess it makes sense considering it is just a foam and foams go back to liquid given enough time. I'm curious if you could lock the foamy state in if you cooked it fast enough or if the heat would just make the foam settle faster.
It's my understanding that some proteins can denature at low temperatures. I wonder if this would apply to eggs, and what kind of temperature would have to be achieved.
step one: get a cup, vinegar, and a egg. step two: pour vinegar in cup to about half (just depends on the size, has to cover the whole egg. step three: put egg in vinegar, make sure egg is covered and wait 24 hours. that's it, you have a bouncy, transparent, shelled egg. (when bouncing make sure to not break it! its very delicate!
It doesn't have the same inherent violence. I mean, sure - things are crushed. Everyone understands that... Being subjected to vacuum is harder to comprehend.
Cody's Lab is the most interesting youtube channel. I just want to say thank you Cody because my 14 year old son is learning a lot from you just from watching the videos. plus I love the videos also. so thank you again, and can't wait to see what you come up with next...... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
#CodyQuestionForYou *PleaseAnswer* . Have you heard anything else on the mars trip. extremely interested in knowing what is going on or what you have heard so far
I'm amazed at how so much has happened without the yolk really being bothered. Makes you think of how protected a baby bird really is before it hatches.
well that was im thinking too! I couldnt peel an egg without breaking it in half tho. tried that acid thing and it smells really gross and it made the egg bouncy :) it takes time. go try to peel the shell without its membrane. (not using acid) thats impossible I guess
When I saw the video in my sub box I thought " what a stupid idea, it's clear that it will explode" but now I see that something as simple as an egg produces really interesting results when put into a vacuum. Why didn't the foam collaps after you put the air back into the chamber? Is the protein of the egg really that strong?
I think it is because the proteins in the egg white denaturalized due to the change in temperature, basicly the same as what happens when you boil an egg. A boiled egg is also able to maintain its structure and shape when you peel it.
Wow, my ad was that much lamer, I got a movie trailer that I didn't even read the title of lol Also now I know that is... a thing... Great sir, you've just become a teacher.
To those who thought this video was useless, it wasn't. It has inspired people to talk about various aspects of what was going on in the chaimber. Sientific discution on this is a way of inspiring new ideas and getting people interested physics and chemistry. There are unexpected results here that I'm sure got Cody and and alot of other people considering new possibilities and ideas. Cody, I'm sure you're helping to drive interest in science for the next genereation that is in grade school now. That is well worth while.
Well, you actually answered a question I've had since I was working on my biology degree (back in the late 80s, early 90s). When the boiling point of something decreases (due to lower pressure), does the boiling process still denature the proteins? The answer appears to be no. The heat required to denature protein remains the same, even if the boiling point decreases. Material science is weird.
Oh, and something else. Since the inside of an egg is actually a single cell (an egg cell)... this is macro scale look at what happens to cells in a vacuum. Doesn't bode well for being exposed to the vacuum of space, does it? LOL
Hi Cody, I wonder, if we put a coal in a vacuum chamber what happens? Can we isolate SO2, NO2 and other harmful gases? Can you try it for me? Thanks. Erdem Metin
I don't think that it is simply freezing - the egg is denaturing and froze - basically the same that happens when you cook it, just when it gets really cold.
Protein denaturation isn't always irreversible. In this case, I suspect that with the negative temperature change, the egg yolk proteins were reversibly denaturated (rapid white color change with a smooth progression front, opposed to the spikey growth of ice cristals). No chemical bonds were broken: this needs energy to occur. Probably, the proteins turned inside-out when they froze and outside-in when they thawed.
Valloreum actually if u look for it Thers an episode of a show called myth busters were thay do pretty much what u asked with synthetic human made from skin like rubber and pig parts maby jelly for the brain it had somethin to do with an old school diving suit decompressing to help u find it
Does anyone else find themselves automatically and unconsciously hitting the thumbs up button every time they open a Cody's Lab video, and then get surprised when they go to do thumbs up consciously to find it already done?
That's very interesting! One thing I didn't expect was the freezing of the egg. I'm very scientifically minded and love studying this kind of stuff and know there's a relation between temperature and pressure, but I have not fully grasped it to understand this. Very cool.
I've been following your channel for awhile. But because I saw you voted for Jill in the comments section on another video, you've made another subscriber.
Fissile Sailor yep, that's right. I've managed to get it out from the microwave and it exploded in my hands - I was cleaning the kitchen for 2 hours - most of it was on the ceiling )))) it was fun )
