@@kppage8843 It's really cold, but due to being so empty it's also a horrible, horrible conductor, so it generally doesn't cool stuff down fast enough. The ISS for example does have active cooling systems in place
@@kppage8843 y'know how wood feels warmer than metal does, even when they're both room temperature? this is because metal conducts heat better. this is what matters for cooling something down. and space is a very very very bad conductor of heat.
@kppage8843 Vacuum is actually an amazing insulator, as there's nothing to conduct or convect away heat. That's why a thermos is so good at keeping things hot or cold.
Crystals don't need to be a solid, just that they have a repeating structure. It's a liquid polarizer. Also led displays use Galium Nitride based diodes, not silicon.

The funny thing is that is the small amouts of earth in the water that the phone does not like and not the water itself A phone will work perfectly if submerged in distilled water
Honestly, I would't have brought a laptop to space cause it would overheat due to the cooler being unable to dissipate the eat, but I guess the LCD getting rekt is another thing😅
Ok but why is no one talking about the choice of elements in the initial post? Like what do you mean lighting and radio waves are two different elements? The electricity running through a phone is an electromagnetic wave (generated by an electric current) and so are radio waves The only difference is the intensity, the frequency and their confinement Plus, we don't even store plain electrical energy, we first transform it into chemical energy and that's what's stored in our batteries And yes, a lightning can set things up on fire, but that's not happening inside anyone's phone (hopefully) The fire and the light (also electromagnetic waves) created in a lightning are the extreme byproduct of a sudden and abrupt electric discharge (a super strong electric current), and they're two separate side effects Lastly, fire is primarily thermal energy, with a bit of electromagnetic (from the light) and maybe even kinetic (from the movement of the gas) This is more of a fun fact than anything, just for completeness I'm a computer major but feel free to double check and correct me, phones are really complicated and I'm not fully educated on the specifics (quantum physics, materials, etc)
I hate to be that guy, but a tumblr post which makes a joke about "The Four Elements" is not going to care about scientific accuracy. You might as well be talking about how fire, water, air, and earth aren't on the periodic table. We're already taking so many liberties here
Ok but LCD is liquidized crystals not water so OP is still correct. On a tangentially related note could you imagine your phone evaporating on a hot summer day? Lmao
“Google LCD” “I took an oath to never do drugs” is so insanely funny
@@totally_a_real_account7902
It's a drug produced by google
"I took an oath in third grade to never do drugs"
Based on the post, I think we can all agree that the oath was broken
If you Like math it means Least Common Denominator
@@Athan-so9miWe usually use GCD and LCM. LCD... would just be 1, so it's not interesting.
nah tumblr users are just built different
@@Athan-so9mi You’ve combined LCM and GCD in your mind.
Nah, some people are Just Like That.
OP gonna go ballistic when we show 'em the smart fridge
That entire book reads like a shitpost, really. Totally worth it.
>be me
>stuck on Mars or something
No, it plays itself seriously

The movie was great. Don't get me wrong, but the book is fantastic. And I think the audio book is even better.
The first line is something like "well, I'm fucked."

Genuinely XD
How he communicates with everyone once he has "texting"
Growing potatoes like that, although it was smart, and etc. Lol
Radio and radiation as a whole being part of the element of air is such an interesting way of looking at it.
i mean, why not the fan?
The implication that light belongs to the dominion of air and not fire is janky af
@@ccgarciabWhat is light if not glowy air?
@@prof.reuniclus21 luminiferous aether type of take
Yeah I’m not seeing it.
Air isn’t even necessary for light to travel.
Also consider how it would die if it was:
Crushed by a rock
Lit on fire
And thrown into a tornado.
A phone was once dropped out of a plane and was still fine so that last one isn't 100%
It just being in a tornado would be fine, it only goes wrong when it hits rock
its because kt gives it too much of 1 element, breaking the balance

But if he’s in the vacuum of, say, space, cooling shouldn’t be an issue, no? It’s, uh, really cold.

I love Andy Weir's books 😂 also, the drugs part was hilarious :D
Project Hail Mary gotta be the best book ever written
@FirethornYT It certainly is among the best ones 😄
I just imagine a shady figure in an ally going:
Hey kid, I got some Liquid Crystal Displays, you got the money?
Hear me out, water-cooled phones would summon the Avatar.
Nah, it doesnt like water because water's jealous of how perfect it is with all four elements and tries to kill it because it wants to be the best
yes but the c stands for crystal so it's still rock (and also led displays are silicon)
Crystals don't need to be a solid, just that they have a repeating structure. It's a liquid polarizer. Also led displays use Galium Nitride based diodes, not silicon.
@@gljames24 i guess i forgot leds and diodes are different
Imagine if air benders in Modern society could control radio waves
If radio waves fall under the air element, then airbenders could, in theory, bend light
it would make more sense for this to be a firebender power but they already get electricity, so sure let airbenders bend light
I knew the exact quote the moment they mentioned the book
That explains why the stuck pixels on my phone screen spread when I go outside in the winter.
The Martian is such a good book omg.
This is literally just the way alchemists thought
So in lightning a God or something, it has everything. It comes from clouds (water) , is electricity that passes through air, then ground itself with the earth(earth.)
radio waves and lightning have more in common with each other than the actual elements you tried associating them with
The Martian was such a good book
I guess my “selfie in space” plan is shot.
So are oleds fine in space
The person who shared “bits from the martian” had a Tori Spring profile picture and that made me happy :3
THE MARTIAN MENTIONED🗣🔥🔥🔥
I was gonna talk about how pcs use liquid cooling but the video covers it for me but better
I love the Martian, man. Project Hail Mary is also really good as well! ^^
mark watney my beloved!!! /platonic such a good book, i definitely recommend it to anyone who hasnt read it
The martian mentioned 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Water cooled computers
Laptops do too need air in space, for the same reason satellites need radiators
Love the Martian reference
Radio waves would be actually be forming of lightning. In fact, lightning strikes will emit radio waves whenever they strike
Water cooled pcs are the future
Op gonna die if he sees a watercolled pc
They should have put that in the movie
Me, with an OLED :
The Martian is great! (Both the book and the movie)
THE MARTIAN IS SO FUNNY, READ IT
Don’t some pcs have water cooling in them?
Why did I never know the Martian was written like a ya novel
GOD i love The Martian
I have to read the Martian again, it’s such a great book.
Come to think of it, by 2035 (when The Martian takes place) it would probs be an OLED or similar tech which is lighter and more power efficient. Ah how advancements in tech can render even relatively recent sci fi outdated
The funny thing is that is the small amouts of earth in the water that the phone does not like and not the water itself

All those uniting all elements cease movement. Fridges and PC's are not portable. That portability requires sacrifice of one element.
I never knew why lighing is related to fire
You need air for cooling a laptop.
So cellphones are just the avatar?
lol I just got to that part in the book.
Honestly, I would't have brought a laptop to space cause it would overheat due to the cooler being unable to dissipate the eat, but I guess the LCD getting rekt is another thing😅
Okay but hear me out. What's the C stand for? Crystal. Therefore, LCD screens are just an extension of the element of earth.
Ok but why is no one talking about the choice of elements in the initial post? Like what do you mean lighting and radio waves are two different elements?
The electricity running through a phone is an electromagnetic wave (generated by an electric current) and so are radio waves
The only difference is the intensity, the frequency and their confinement
Plus, we don't even store plain electrical energy, we first transform it into chemical energy and that's what's stored in our batteries
And yes, a lightning can set things up on fire, but that's not happening inside anyone's phone (hopefully)
The fire and the light (also electromagnetic waves) created in a lightning are the extreme byproduct of a sudden and abrupt electric discharge (a super strong electric current), and they're two separate side effects
Lastly, fire is primarily thermal energy, with a bit of electromagnetic (from the light) and maybe even kinetic (from the movement of the gas)
This is more of a fun fact than anything, just for completeness
I'm a computer major but feel free to double check and correct me, phones are really complicated and I'm not fully educated on the specifics (quantum physics, materials, etc)

No Cell phone are just week, servers use water cooling all the time.
Liquid cooling ;)

Its liquid crystal display. And how did you think that on mars there is a vacuum im confused
Liquid not water
Just buy a new one ffs.
he was stuck on mars for several years alone??? Not exactly an amazon prime shipping area
Amazon doesn't ship to mars :(
In this economy?
Most places don't ship to Mars:(
