I am writing about Jm in my signature because apparently it's an effective method of ignoring him.

With careful research and my super powers of observation, I figured out the answer to a very mysterious conspiracy, that's whyzzat.

Pointless, random thought of the day: I wonder how likely it is that my tea water will boil entirely by itself.

More likely to happen when the tea is made in a vaccuum or on Venus.

Water boils on Venus?

Considering the ambient temperature below cloud cover, I would assume, yes.

Nah, apparently it doesn't:
"As you state, the temperature at which a substance boils depends on the
pressure exerted on it. In general, increasing the pressure increases the
boiling point. Earth has an atmospheric pressure of about 1 bar on the
surface (where a unit of pressure is the force pushing down per unit area -
14.7 pounds per square inch on Earth). Venus, on the other hand has a 90
bar atmosphere which corresponds to >1300 pounds per square inch. This
raises the boiling temperature of water significantly. On Venus, water
would boil at ~375 F. The surface temperature on Venus is about 900 F,
well above the boiling point even for its high atmospheric pressure. There
cannot be any liquid water on Venus."

Taken from some dumbass site found by googling "water boil venus".

Yeah, but if you fired a cylinder of water, with insulation onto the surface of Venus... Then extracted it before the pressure and heat destroyed it, you would be able to boil it on Venus.

Although, that would be the most expensive cup of tea ever made.

Well worth it. They've financed the LHC, so there should be some money for stuff like this as well.

The Koreans tell me that if you shake a container of water, it will get hot.

Icey, you're a delight. A very strange delight. happy.gif

PRT: Ok, so what should I buy for a gift for a party celebrating Frodo and Bilbo Baggin's birthdays? Under $10. Any ideas? I've never bought for a hobbit before...

So the answer is there's "no liquid water on Venus"? C'mon now, we're working with hypothetical situations here. smile.gif
