Actually Clocks run slightly faster around the equator (than they do at the poles) due to a tiny planetary bulge that makes it slightly further away from the center of the earth's gravity, because the earth also has to rotate faster at the equator to keep up with the rest of the planet, these effects compensate for each other, causing both clocks to run at the same time. The difference in speed is so small that over a year the time disparity would only equate to less than a few seconds of age.
Brilliant observation ... another one "This is the coolest thing ever!" Yes they use this "powder" in tampons and incontinence products to absorb large amounts of piss. But what do I know... xD
As a formulation chemist that works with different types of fumed silica, I cant believe you didnt do this in a hood or at least didn't wear a mask while handling this stuff. Not stuff you want to breathe in
Fumed silica serves as a universal thickening agent and an anticaking agent (free-flow agent) in powders. Like silica gel, it serves as a desiccant. It is used in cosmetics for its light-diffusing properties. It is used as a light abrasive, in products like toothpaste, I think he's ok.
I especially love the cloud of silica dust he was inhaling when he opened the lid! Please don’t play with this stuff at home. It’s industrial grade for a reason.
@@the_hanged_clown it will be a sad day if it ever comes to be you get cancer because you inhaled dust particles because the council of an elder seemed more annoying to you than the value of the advice.
@@the_hanged_clown im in school for electrical engineering lot of stuff we use has some sort of asbestos insulation it's required for labs to be certified
@@cinamontoast2555 Cloth doesn't make you wet, water does since it's the interaction between water and the cloth that gives it it's wetness. That being said, water itself cannot be wet since it only has the ability to give the interaction.
This is not water, it is a colloidal solution. If it were water, he could drink it. He could use it in things (experiments, recipes) which require water, but NOT fumed silica (which, by the way, I work with on a regular basis). He can't. But dry water is easy to make. You just freeze it.
And not true the only way that you can make dry water is by freezing at such a high rate of temperature that it becomes individual micro Crystal particles with barely any surface molecules of water on it and these conditions are only generally present on the earth naturally and Antarctica Antarctica being the world's driest place on Earth
Since when did the floor become able to floor the floored floor floor and become floor it can floor doesn't flooring make sense for floors sake floor my head fmh fmh
*Wow. I wonder how many more people are going to quote the "water is wet" statement without checking the comments section first to see if someone already said it.* HINT: A *LOT* of people have already said it!
Almost everyone I bet! Out of over 3600 comments, only 5 didn't make a "water is wet because it makes things wet" reference! As soon as he said that, everyone immediately went to the comments and had a field day commenting!
So, they simulate water by making it many times more viscous than it is in reality? Sounds like a pretty crappy simulation. A viscous fluid moves slower, so I'd guess that's why they made it so viscous. The computers couldn't handle the real time calculations. And rightly so, they're insanely complex.
Wow, I am kind of proud of myself… past two years I’ve been studying a lot of science as a hobby and when he said industry uses it to transport dangerous gasses I instantly thought “I bet you could do CO2 capture with this!” and then he said it! If you’re into scientific topics, study and watch every lecture you can! It’s so amazing.
Something Or other thank you i was looking for a polite way of saying this... this is not water it is a solution of a powder and water that is like saying koolaid is water and we should be able to.. ugh nevermind im not gonna
When someone thinks they know something and they don't... Fumed silica is manufactured by a continuous flame hydrolysis process of SiCl4. During this process, SiCl4 is converted into the gas phase and then reacts spontaneously and quantitatively in an oxyhydrogen flame with the intermediately formed water to produce the desired silicon dioxide. 2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O SiCl4 + 2 H2O = SiO2 + 4 HCl 2 H2 + O2 + SiCl4 = SiO2 + 4 HCl (ii)During this chemical reaction a considerable amount of heat is released, which is eliminated in a cooling line. The only by-product is gaseous HCl which is separated from the fumed silica solid matter. SiO2 is then converted into the HYDROPHOBIC FUMED SILICA dimethyldichlorosilane (DDS) in a fluid-bed reactor. The silane reacts with the silanol groups primarily with the formation of Si-O-Si (CH3)2 units, and as a result the material acquires a hydrophobic character. The number of silanol groups is reduced during the treatment to about 30% of the initial value. (iii)Analogous reactions can also be carried out with other silanes and other HYDROPHILIC SILICA FUMES. NOW, you can quite clearly see that fumed silica is a powder by itself and in no way should it be confused with empty water...
Something Or other Stop it, these are experiments for kids. Just stop it. Mud is not the same as what he is doing here. He said the name of the powder and said that it was powder he would mix with the water. Once you mix it it separates the water molecules but the powder is still there. Making it feel like it's water, but it is dry because of the powder. Tired of all you virtuous signaling, trying to act as though you are smarter and he couldn't pull a fast one on ya. Guess what? He isn't trying to do that. It is an informational channel with experiments that you did not think of. So stop it.
Thanks to you, I've done my own double slit experiment at home. I was surprised how easy it is to perform. I always thought it would need some complex equipment not easily available.
Technically incorrect though since the definition of wet has to do with being coated in a liquid, so hypothetically so long as nothing's melting ice is dry water.
and with your logic that anything's not what it is because in any different state a physical pressure and gravity or heat or cooling every element could be any type of f****** way like liquid gas solid to get her medals in a gas then turn them into crystals then turn them back into f****** liquid look at Mercury you're dumb
@@sarielreigns777 what the fuck is a hand still a hand with no fingers y'all are dumb just saying it's not water if ts a mixture just saying water is water
Action Lab: makes a colloidal suspension and calls it water. Me: challenges him to break it down by electrolysis and end up with nothing but hydrogen and oxygen. Me: puts deionized water into an ice cube tray and puts it into a freezer. I win.
@@alexh349 well... it isn't wet, but it isn't dry either. It gets things wet by filling up the gaps in the objects it gets wet, and it fills in its own gaps to make it a liquid. But in all water is just water, that's wat it is, not wet, not dry, just water.
@@alexh349 buuuuuuut that's a controversial subject, and when there is a controversial subject, I sprint away from it as swiftly as I can before it becomes much worse. With that, I must leave before this topic gets out of hand! And remember, peope are stupid! Edit: mainly me!
