    People are disliking because they are so used to action videos, like they can't comprehend a video could have a totally relevant title that sounds exciting without being an action video. It's an educational video! Don't dislike just because you are too lazy to enjoy the science.

    common Glass is composed of about 75% silica (SiO2) plus sodium oxide (Na2O) from soda ash, lime (CaO), and several minor additives. The most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz.

    • @spagetmen
      @spagetmen 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would implode probably due to the rapid temperature/pressure change. Even in RTemp water it's possible. LN is near absolute zero. That's a long, fast fall.

  • @wowiezowiepowie
    @wowiezowiepowie 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    at 4:20 you show a Prince Rupert Drop under polarized light
    the "bubbles" are shown with dark lines around them.
    My question for MIT is : Are those really bubbles or are they under vacuum?
    basically you have a molten mass of glass that should be fined out (having no bubbles).
    when dropped in water the PRD contracts as said from the center that remains
    somewhat soft.
    Many of the bubbles in PRD are weird shapes pointed and flatish ,no where are they roundish as most bubbles in glass or other fluids.
    So picture this ;;the "bubbles" are formed like putting you hands together palm to palm
    and then moving you knuckles away from each other making a hole between your palms.
    Wouldn't this cause a vacuum and not create bubbles.?
    You can also get "bubbles" to form by gathering up some glass ,, blocking the form
    to make a round ball then blast one side with compressed air
    as the glass rapidly cools you can watch the voids form and get larger as you apply
    more air.
    i speak from 35 years of glass batching and glass manufacturing experience.
