I asked this question in 8th grade Earth Science class, in 1977(8), and the teacher laughed at me. "What do you mean, What is fire. Fire is fire!" I've asked it in other classes since then, and gotten similar responses. Thank you for confirming that it is a valid question.
The state of fire is not a state of solid or liquid or gas but it's a fourth state which exists for time being. The state of fire runs the Universe. Its said mythologicaly that everything gets purified or becomes free after it undergoes the state of fire

I would have said it's a process. And that solids, liquids and gasses are also processes.. after all, all matter above absolute zero is unstable or at least changing,
@@JakeCari Except fire isn't plasma, at least not all fires. Just like Chris' teacher said, fire is always a visible chemical reaction, and only under certain conditions can fire ionize atoms and be considered plasma.
@@Sherirk is correct. Fire is a chemical reaction, not a state of matter. However, if a fire produces enough heat to ionize gas atoms around it, then that gas becomes plasma. Not all fires can produce that much heat concentrated on gas before that gas flows away.

Dude, if they taught me this in science class in a lab, that would’ve been a cool fricken lab to experiment with. “Oh yeah I’ve been around fire my whole life, I know all about it. Wait flames are hollow?”
"Flames are hollow?" My reaction as well.
Gas is hollow and tries to separate? Amazing...
That no one in the comment section knows this.
Practically everything has empty space inside it.
@@aliensarerealttsa6198 Oh please. Yes, gas is hollow. I’m pretty sure everyone here knows there’s a whole lot of space in every thing. But that’s on an atomic level. He showed us hollow flames on a level that we can see with our naked eyes. Means flames being hollow is not a consequence of the empty space in everything.
From what I understand from what he said, the reaction only lights up when it reaches air. So basically it’s burning faster than the air can fIll the space it’s occupying. Sort of like skipping in the rain so fast that the water drops don’t touch u, creating a dome shaped thingy. If that’s not cool, I don’t know what is

The color of the flame also depends on the element that is undergoing combustion. In addition to heat being generated because electrons are in lower orbitals, light is given off which depends on the spectra of different elements. Copper is green, strontium is red, for example. Fireworks are examples of the colors of different elements.

My understanding (and I may be wrong) is that the reason smoke goes toward us is because of our own body heat causing a draft. Wherever you stand near a fire, the smoke will naturally go toward you unless there is sufficient wind to blow it elsewhere.

Thousands of years ago, Fire was first discovered during a lightning storm. Lightning struck a tree, producing fire. What a discovery for the human race! ❤️🤝😁
@@LunalovaniaGaming Who told you that? How about humans where always intelligent and just worked out how to make fire. Perhaps while they where cracking flit shones together to create blades they realised that when they hit the stones together it makes sparks and heat? Or how about they rubbed there hands together and realised friction makes heat so they rubbed sticks together to make fire?
@@LunalovaniaGaming This thesis implies that before that lightning struck human where oblivious of fire which does not make sense. Fire is "known" to all animals as it occurs in nature. The "discovery" that changed our species was more likely the ability to kindle and maintian a flame for us to use not the observation of lightning strikes. (hope its understandable not a native english speaker)
@@horus228 thank you! Nah you're good buddy. 👍
It's interesting how fire is one of those things that we all know about, but most of us struggle to understand what exactly it _is_. I remember at one point as a kid I had someone tell me that fire was made of a state of matter called "plasma", and that's why it glowed. I stuck with that explanation for much of my youth. But that's not what fire is, and this video demonstrates that.
The way I understand it, the chemical reactions involved in combustion occur in a fuzzy hollow spheroid interface surrounding but not including the wick. This is the frontier between the air and the gaseous fuel. And as explained in the video, the yellow-orange part of the flame is just hot soot, glowing in much the same way that hot metal glows. In this area, which is often the largest visible part of what we call a flame, there isn't a whole lot of chemical activity going on. Which I think runs in direct opposition to what our instincts tell us. After all, the warm-colored part of the flame is the biggest and brightest part. And when we're using a flame for light more than for heat, it is also the most important part. Such esteem makes it seem like this might be where the greatest amount of chemical activity is taking place, even though that's not true.
I really enjoy channels like this that encourage people to challenge and explore their assumptions.
@Xxx_Fortnite_gamer_2012 And yet this is channel is called "its ok to be smart."
@Xxx_Fortnite_gamer_2012 Your anti-intellectualism is what's unnecessary here. Cutting people down like that is pointless. Someone sharing new understanding they've gleaned is far from pointless.
@@AnArtisticToad I know, right?
Great comment!
So which part of fire is coolest the blue part or the red and yellow part?
I asked this question in every science class I ever had growing up, and every time it was treated as a stupid question, as if to say “look at it? It’s a chemical reaction, it’s right there? What do you mean what is it? Here’s this formula”
I just wanted to know what fire physically was
Same here. I had an evil chemistry teacher. I got my revenge. Her caricature was in many high school yearbooks after her bullying. She messed with the wrong gifted student. 🎨😈
That's what a lot of teachers do instead of just admitting "I don't know".
Many people fall into the trap of thinking they have explained something just by giving it a name. For example, why does a fire produce heat? Ans: Because it's an exothermic chemical reaction. That's like saying a fire gives off heat because it gives off heat. An in-depth explanation is far more complex and must take into account the kinetic energies of the atoms or molecules involved. So, the question becomes, what causes the increase in the sum-total kinetic energy?
No question is stupid, especially when the only answer is “It’s the result of [insert formula here]”
This happened with me in Physics class when I asked "why planets revolve in elliptical orbit?"
My teacher said and I quote "what do you mean by that. It's a universal fact and you cannot question it, just accepted it"
I just wanted to know the reason not question it smh

Fire is a rapid self-sustaining oxidation process of a combustible material, resulting in a release of energy in the form of heat and light in varying intensity.

Somewhere inside that simple, humble flame, wrapped up within all the physics, chemistry, molecules and reactions are the secrets to the universe. Perhaps even the secrets to an unlimited source of energy. The universes greatest secrets, locked away in plain sight inside a simple, humble flame.
Absolutely fascinating and awe inspiring.

I remember watching this 6 years ago, but don't remember anything lol. Time to re-watch!
This is the most satisfying and reasonable explanation about the fire.🔥
“Flame is the fluid manifestation of an exothermic chemical reaction.” That’s a quote from my college chemistry professor. Not exactly sure what it means, but it’s a good throwaway line when toasting marshmallows around the campfire.
Man sure knew how to take the romance out of it, didn't he?
So fire is a fluid?
@@phaedrussmith1949 no it is well touch it you will know what exactly it is...................
@@jacobfreeman5444 ever study fluid thermodynamics?
I have no education in the matter, but I understand what he meant. Not sure I can explain it, but I have a vivid mental image of what he’s describing with that statement. It’s quite esoteric, really.
FANTASTIC video ! Strangely, I was just thinking about my fire science professor in college, yesterday (and no, I didn't type anything about fire on my laptop). This is one of those times that my mentor in my first engineering internship described as "I didn't know how much I didn't know until after I graduated college"
There's a whole professor dedicated to fire science?!
There are three kinds of pyrotechnicians:
1. Those who do normal pyrotechnics
2. Those who work really hard and are on fire
3. And the one which get fired.
Kishore Shenoy there are also the ones who get hard from playing with fire ;-)
+foobargorch I know this is old, but....
*Playing with Ph1r3.
There. FTFY.
+Kishore Shenoy Well, there are only 3 types of people in this world:
Those who can count, and those who can't.

But there is only one kind of television...
The Medium, neither rare, not well done.
And those who jump out the flying pan into the fire
Fine it’s been in my recommended over 100 times ill watch it
When I watch fire burn, for me it is not hypnotic, but rather mesmerizing or entertaining to see the reactions and undulations and dancing and colors and lights and chemical exchanges and all the complexity involved coming together it’s rather spectacular
U r my kind of person 😭
Pls that's something an arsonist would say 😭
Its all gud untill u burned ur house
I too commit arson
No bc like same
This video's title: *exists *
My mind: _Baby, don't burn me. Don't burn me. No more_
Oh my god so clever XD 😂😂
@@catsdrinkdogwater15
Thank you! But I think is one of the dumbest things I have ever think of in my life XD
WHAT
I didn't even watch the video I just saw the title and needed to look for this comment.
Thank you so much for this! I remember grilling my chemistry teacher in high school to explain fire to me and I was never satisfied with his answer. This video fulfilled my curiosity perfectly!
It didn’t cure mine.
You should have used a hotter flame in your grill ;)
You should have tried other torturing methods bro
I had the same doubt about 🔥, now found it
Everybody's asking "what is fire?", but never "how is fire?"
‘Why’ is the most important question for everything :)
@@domcruise274 Agreed, but sometimes it is how, though.
Is your profile picture from Mob Psycho 100..? If so , is that show worth watching?
Ok but when is fire?🤔
@@saadsrequiemforsasuke7041 yes the show is dope and has some if the best animation in the game
I just got scienced by a freaking candle.
This is awesome.
*sound effects added for awesome
laughed so hard when I saw it :D
Lol same
I stopped the video to write it.
Lol
Bobby looks like you're having a bad day.
Rhys Smith -_-
alex xela He's just a bot.
Imagine asking this guy to borrow his lighter , well you're in for a hell of a conversation and probably 2 cigarettes haha.
I vaguely remember asking my physics teacher in class in primary school the exact same question. She responded with the textbook definition, and the whole class sneered and laughed at the question. Thank you for giving the proper answer.
first time someone has actually answered the damn question, I can finally sleep easy now
Know what I like the most about this vid? It is straight to the point, it is brief but still complete and it is not asking for subs and likes, which you hear all the day on YT. Thanks for that. Very much appreciated.
This thing is coming in all my accounts recommendation since 6days
2:59 "Candle flames are actually hollow."
*Mind blown*
One of the best videos about fire that I've ever seen. Fantastic!
"what is fire?" -me looks down at my bag of pot
Ew. You don’t keep your green in glass?
Oooooooo!! Smoke one and then try and answer that question!! That would be loads of fun!! 😵💫
I've never asked myself what is fire but I had to click when this came up, thank you for the explanation lol.
I've pondered this question for years without actually looking into. Can't tell you how many times drinking around a campfire with friends I would say "maaaan what even is fire bro?" And they'd laugh at me because I asked it so often lol
I have struggled with FIRE forever 😂
I’ve taken university level physics and chemistry, I’ve done the stuff, but I just can’t grasp it, it’s never been explained so succinctly.
Excellent teacher here, keep the extraneous stuff out but definitely enough facts to bridge those little gaps.
I’ve also struggled to focus in class because I zone out just thinking about fire and if it’s there forget it, brain gone, but yes, I’ve noticed the hollow factor before…but it could be due exclusively to the mesmerizing nature of fire.
I just think “thank you Prometheus”
It’s like when I look at the 100+ year old windows in my house and realize liquid is protecting me.
That’s all that glass is, slow SLOW liquid, it’s really hard to feel secure, but then again all that false sense of safety from the elements is an illusion anyhow.
If someone wants in your house to do harm, malfeasance lord knows they’re gonna do it.
I see people leaning brooms and shovels and ladders outside AGAINST their homes alllll the time 😂
And you think they care about a 911 call?
Nah, still takes a few minutes for the police to show up.
I say this as a person who had her home invaded by a stranger who had evidently been stalking me for years, he broke through my glass doors on my third story deck and right into my master bedroom.
Partner away on business, 2:30 am on the forth of July, it’s just that fast and that easy.
I had four dogs though, and this was in 2002 so social media wasn’t something where all that information could be gotten.
Anyhow.
Fascinating video :)
This was an interesting and confusing comment
I approve, good story lol
@@patrickbudge7106 i agree. I am not sure what just happened, but it felt like i blacked out several times even though i read every word fully concentrated.
I kinda wanna read her diary.
That escalated quickly.
For the past 2 weeks, this video has been popping up every single day, I'm gonna watch it in hopes it will be satisfied.
I’ve been trying to learn about this for like 3 hours, watching and reading dozens of things, and this vid answered everything and more. Cheers!
