      I think u just explained why dark matter reacts to the universe by expanding at a constant endless increasing speed. I still think dark matter is just matter with a negative charge nucleus not like anti-matter with a anti-proton but actual electrons with protons revolving around them I know the math has never worked out on this but I think if someone could make a negative spectrum reader we could see this also I believe it's why dark matter has force interaction with matter but doesn't interact with it chemically because the outer atoms attract (-) an (+) but the they can't jump to nuclei. It would probably mean that dark energy is positively charged positive energy and that's why we can't see it it's not giving off radiance jumping, it's energy that's attracting it which causes darkness by removing light not the absence of it, I think this attraction is matter acting like the liquid in ur example under a negative force pulling itself into existence. I think if dark matter didn't exist photons an other subatomic particals wouldn't act sporadic they'd act like atomic particals (non-quantum), light could sit like a heavy gas or liquid.

      hello fellow human. except for the word capillary, not sure how relevant this comment is to your video. i was interested in seeing how capillary action works and wondered two things: 1: why doesnt capillary action occur with a regular straw for beverages? 2: if part of the reason the liquid climbs up a tube is due to the liquid being magically attracted to the surface of the tube, why doesnt the liquid climb the outside of the tube?
      i did wonder something about your video: if the pressure of the air is higher than the pressure of the liquid, would that be equivalent to saying the force of your hand pushing down on my hand is more than the pressure of my hand pushing upward on yours? if so, and your hand represents air and my hand represents liquid, would the logical conclusion be that your hand would overcome the force of my hand and therefore push my hand down aka the air pressure would overcome the pressure of the liquid and therefore push down on the liquid? if so, it would seem logical the air would push down on the liquid until the liquid was level, and so, it would seem there is a force greater than that of the air pressure, which allows the liquid to pass the zero point, which actually creates a positive pressure. i literally got kicked out of school so i have no conventional education to compare your logic to, but, to me, according to my logic, your logic is backwards. maybe you did that intentionally or maybe you were taught backwards or maybe something else. who knows for sure?

      I wish I didn't watch this. This is more wrong than the short!
      You doubled down on the wrong here...
      Turning the adhesion into a pressure is a terrible idea for teaching. Engineers use pressure very abstractly sometimes, like with the lift for an airplane wing, because the math works and happens to capture the physics well. So I can see why you might hear engineers talking about negative capillary pressure IN SPECIFIC CONTEXTS, but it's a really confusing educational explanation.
      You might as well say it happens due to the lower entropy of even liquid heights. Like, yeah, the entropy of equal liquid heights in this case is lower than the unequal case... but if you explain it that way to an undergrad class it's going to be.. high entropy.

      The liquid is not at a lower pressure than the atmosphere at the top of the tube, because as you said correctly in another video there would be movement if it where. The liquid at the top of the tube and the bottom of the tube near the rest liquid is at about the same pressure, because some of the liquid normally occouring downward force due to gravity is cancelled by the adhesion force.

    "Negative Pressure" does *not* mean what you are describing!
    Pressure is a quantity of force over an area. By definition, force is a vector (i.e., it has a direction.) Also, pressure is always normal (i.e., perpendicular) to the surface it acts upon. The negative sign in front of pressure does not mean that the *quantity of pressure* is negative. It means that the *direction of the force* is in the opposite direction.
    Michael S. Turner, a theoretical cosmologist who coined the term dark energy in 1998, summarizes the concept of "Negative Pressure" in an article in this way:
    "... it's direction - an inward, imploding, or contracting force, rather than the outward-pushing force typically defined as pressure. The minus sign next to those atmospheres doesn't mean "less than nothing"; it's an arbitrary signifier denoting *"in the direction opposite of positive."* (my emphasis) Solids have negative pressure when they pull in, like stretched rubber bands or springs. Liquids can have negative pressure in metastable states, when they resist turning to vapor."
    The excerpt quoted above is explained quite clearly in the context of this 2003 _Discover_ article titled "The Physics of Negative Pressure":

    I think you need to acknowledge GRAVITY in your discussions! That is why the capillary action reaches an equilibrium. In blood pressure manometers and thermometers, there is a vacuum above the liquid and the mercury rises to the point that gravity determines- as you mentioned, no glass interaction.

      At about 2 minutes in, you explain the pressure differences. The pressure inside the tube and outside is P0, the pressure just under the tube is P1, and P0 > P1. You say that the atm. pressure is the same inside and out, but the fluid still rises up the tube, toward a higher pressure. If the atm. pressure inside the tube drops (for some odd reason), then its no longer P0.

    You don’t have flowing liquid there tho. You have stagnate liquid with the deltas evened out. Yes perhaps while it’s moving you may create (most likely not much in this case) negative to zero at atmospheric pressures but that is very common and why water evaporates by moving air over it without the water reaching the boiling temperature at the surrounding adverse pressure. And yes pressure in liquid is reduced at flow but again you have no flow
    Edit: I am referring to the air or gas being at a smaller pressure than the adverage surrounding

  • @gregdwilson2
    @gregdwilson2 4 года назад +6

    Thank you for addressing some of the problems with the last video, however, I think there are a few things that need clarification. "What causes water to flow is pressure deltas" is not categorically true. Any object moves because of the net forces acting on them. Because multiple forces play an important role here, you cannot just say that it is pressure causing all of this to happen. It is not simply pressure that raises the water in the capillary tube. It is because the forces of water tension, gravity, adhesion and pressure all create a net force upward causing the water to rise. An important thing to note is that this changes throughout the water because different forces are acting on different parts. For example, the adhesion forces only occur on the edge of the container. The surface tension only occurs at the air surface interface. Water pressure only occurs below the water air interface and changes as a function of depth and the inter-molecular forces cause there to be negative pressure in the water. Once the water rises to an equilibrium point, you still have pressure deltas, but no flow because ALL of the forces in this complex system have balanced out. Trying to state it is all pressure is very very bad practice. When you dump some water on a hill and watch it flow down, you wouldn't say, "Pressure differences in the water cause it to flow down the hill." You would say, that gravity and normal forces cause the water to flow down the hill. By pumping out all of the air in the vacuum you showed that atmospheric pressure didn't effect capillary action. This shows that atmospheric pressure does not account for the rise but it is entirely due to water, thin tubes, and gravity. Just tip the entire thing on its side and you will see the shape and height of the meniscus suddenly change which shows that just relying on pressure is dangerous. Horizontal capillary tubes are an entirely different experiment with their own fascinating effects.

    • @TheActionLab
      @TheActionLab  4 года назад +2

      Gregory Wilson actually talking about forces and pressure is the same thing. And yes when water flows down hill you do need to talk about pressure deltas. You can use fluid dynamics to calculate the pressure differences in the flow using navier stokes equation. Fluids flow due to pressure. You can call it a force but it’s harder to deal with forces in fluid dynamics than pressure. Fluids moving anywhere is a fluid dynamics problem and if you want to know why or when fluids will flow you have to calculate pressures. That is why I’m talking about pressure. Any paper that has to talk about fluid movement must discuss the fluid pressure.

    • @gregdwilson2
      @gregdwilson2 4 года назад +2

      @@TheActionLab Forces and pressure are not the same thing. It's like saying mammals and cats are the same thing. Pressure is indeed a force but force is not always pressure. Pressure is only one type of force. Is it important? Yes. Is it adequate? No. While I agree that it is important to talk about pressure, you can't say that pressure is the only thing at play here and describe it in terms of only pressure. Even in the Navier-Stokes equations you explicitly define other forces (apart from pressure) acting on the continuum such as gravity. So in the general equation it is pressure AND gravity that causes flow, not just pressure. Throw in the capillary action and you have the adhesive force and surface tension that now need to be added to the equation. You cannot say it is only pressure, it is ALL of those forces . Take this quote from a professor at Boston University, "There are basically two ways to make fluid flow through a pipe. One way is to tilt the pipe so the flow is downhill, in which case gravitational kinetic energy is transformed to kinetic energy. The second way is to make the pressure at one end of the pipe larger than the pressure at the other end. A pressure difference is like a net force, producing acceleration of the fluid." Look up experiments of capillary flow on the international space station. This is actually a problem in liquid rockets. Gravity has changed which drastically changes fluid dynamics. I understand trying to simplify it but you have thrown out the dishes with the dish water.

    • @TheActionLab
      @TheActionLab  4 года назад +1

      I actually never said that pressure is the only reason for anything in this video. I’m not really sure what your point is here. In any calculation you have to account for all forces/pressures. Of course that’s true. In this case capillary forces create a negative pressure. The difference in pressure can be calculated like this: deltap=2*gamma*cos(alpha)/r where gamma is the surface tension between water and air, alpha is the contact angle of water on glass and r is the capillary radius. Thus you can use this pressure to calculate exactly how high your water will rise in the tube under any circumstance (centrifuge, normal gravity etc.). This is very useful. I’m not sure what your problem is with mentioning pressure in a capillary tube.
      And edit: I just realized you said pressure is a “type of force” what on earth are you even talking about? Pressure==force/area. It’s not a type of force.

    • @gregdwilson2
      @gregdwilson2 4 года назад +1

      The Action Lab The problem arises when you try to link the atmospheric pressure with the liquids pressure to describe capillary action. Your balloon example is exactly this. It’s an incorrect way to describe capillary action and meniscus. Apart from that, I never said I had a problem talking about pressures in the liquid. I just said don’t forget the other physics like gravity. As far as pressure being a force I was generalizing it to the pressure term in the fluid dynamic equations as something that can cause acceleration. Yes yes, pressure is not a force, but pressure differences in a liquid result in net forces on water molecules that cause acceleration. I agree that the wording was not the best but it was pretty clear what I meant. Pressure differences can cause water molecules to flow. Gravity can also cause water molecules to flow. These are independent terms in the fluid dynamic equations. The comparison is pretty clear, especially when looking at the equations. I still think you are missing the point I was trying to make. I’m a little confused as to why you are dead set on explaining this phenomena in terms of pressure. Help me understand your reasoning because I don’t believe it makes your explanation easier to understand, especially for the casual RUclipsr.

      @@gregdwilson2 I think James wants to explain this phenomenon in terms of pressure and not gravity. It would be cool if he could tilt the tubes in vacuum. Since capillary action is pulling up the liquid here, and in vacuum there is no air to push on the liquid, gravity is actually pulling the liquid down.Correct me if I am wrong but I noticed the level of liquid in all tubes remain same even in vacuum when not boiling , around 6:17. So I think both of you are almost correct. Each factor is occurring independently and they are interacting and cooperating to make up this complex system. Here James is not tilting so he does not take gravity into account I think.

  • @Tyrian3k
    @Tyrian3k Год назад +14

    A liquid can only flow up if there is a force pushing it up. In a normal container, gravity is pushing down and the water pressure is pushing it up. Both are equal, so no movement happens.
    In a capillary, the forces pushing the water up are the pressure of the water plus the adhesive and cohesive forces, so it rises above the level that it should until it reaches the point where equilibrium is reached again, i.e. P0=PI.
    If, as you say, P0 > PI, the water would flow, as you yourself said in the beginning of the video. Specifically, it would flow down until PI=P0.
    Moreover, if the water's pressure at the top of the capillary was lower than everywhere else, it would have boiled there first.
    Pressure is basically the combined forces of molecules bouncing off a surface. Asserting that there is such a thing as negative pressure is to assert that particles can travel at a negative speed and possess a negative amount of kinetic energy and a negative momentum. Also known as complete nonsense.

    Ok, to be consistent and respectful, I feel obligated to comment again...this time I was able to avoid rage commenting throughout the video lol.
    1) regarding the balloon analogy. Your still conflating. Your defense of it is just the shape of it. If that’s your only point...ok...I guess. But that wasn’t your point. Your point initially was that you used it as proof positive of the pressure differences. (See this balloon in a tube, see the shape? That’s because it’s at a higher pressure than the surrounding air...see the shape of that miniscus? Aha! Proof positive. No...no, that is not the way any of this works. You might has well compared it to the shape of a sausage and defended your comparison in the same way. You openly admit several times throughout the videos that the miniscus has the shape it does because of the adhesion forces to the wall. You mercury example is actually perfect. It doesn’t have that shape why? Because it is repelled by the wall...water does why? Because it is attracted to the wall....ok, exactly-your admitting/acknowledging the point. So stop pretending it is somehow an evidence of your pressure differential theory. Another way you could Prove it is just to take your setup, measure the minisci, then add another larger tube to the end, and remeasure. If your theory is correct, then all the meniscus shapes would change, because you now have a even higher pressure differential. That won’t happen, the shapes will remain, because they are formed from the hydrophilic interactions with the wall...not a pressure differential. So, can we please not pretend what you said here made any sense? Thanks...
    2)regarding the experiment as a whole, contrary to the first point, I had to do some honest introspection watching the video. My gut reaction was “ok, in a vacuum you no longer have the atmosphere pushing down, which is what (by my own admission in my prior rant) cause the water to be pushed UP. So...if we remove that, the tubes should equalize. When that didn’t happen I had to strongly consider I was wrong. That is the logical, humble thing to do when your predictions don’t work out the way you thought they would...
    Had the alternative explanation you offered been logically sound, I probably would have just stopped there, but it wasn’t. This caused me to contemplate where my own prediction went wrong, and the. I had a 🤦🏻‍♂️ moment....
    Of course the tubes didn’t equalize...
    1) (minor) the smaller tubes have a relatively higher attraction force to the wall, relative to their size. Think about it like this...you put Velcro on 2 different walls, glass/Velcro. Then let it go. The wall with Velcro will stay high, while the one with glass will drop. A better (less binary) example might be jelly on glass vs carpet. The friction is higher in one, so it “holds it up”. With this in mind, and interesting experiment would be to pour the liquid in a vacuum (as apposed to applying the vacuum after). Since the attraction to the wall should not cause water to climb up (more than the effect of te water planing out) but only adhere laterally, this may prove / disprove one of our theories.
    I think the fundamental thing that is bothering me is that you keep making an observation, and trying to cram it into your prior. The balloon / tube thing was a good example. Observation (hey...that shape is similar) prior (what makes shape 1 must make shape 2). No, different principles. Pressure is a force, there is no such thing as a negative absolute pressure. The force created by a vacuum ISNT created by the vacuum directly, it is created by he atmosphere pushing, and you removed the force pushing back. Pressure is something, vacuum is nothing. You can’t have negative nothing. Light is something, darkness is the absence of light. You can remove light which makes dark, but you can’t and absolute negative light (absent maybe dark matter? Or anti-matter?) in the same way, you can remove pressure, but you can’t truly have a “negative absolute pressure). These videos were all based around this observation, that you kinda crammed into “hey, it’s like there is a negative pressure”. No, no there isn’t, there are other forces at play here. Redefining tension as “it’s like a negative pressure” is exceedingly aggravating. So, are we going to start saying if I tie a rope to a brick and lift it up, I’m applying negative pressure to the rope? Common, really? Is that what we are doing here?
    Anyway, all in all keep up the effort / content lol, rant over :). Oh, and, thanks for doing the follow up! I think it’s interesting to have several follow ups on a video, because it lets people chat, give views, and then validate/invalidate thoughts. I think that’s actually really valuable. I was actually responding with another explanation that when I did all the math, I found I made a silly baseline mistake in my assumption. That’s valuable. The Socratic method of exploring is valuable, and I think the videos are good in that vain. :). And, who knows-I too cold be completely ignorant, we never learn if we aren’t open to the possibility that we don’t know :).

    Liquids move up straws when there is a lower pressure above the liquid in the in the straw, not as you have described it here. Your logic doesn’t even make sense. Objects move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure due to entropy considerations. When you suck on a straw you’re lowering the pressure above it relative to the atmospheric pressure above the water in the cup, (the water thereby gets pushed into the bottom of the straw). You also cannot neglect the water pressure, which is still a pressure. When a person goes under water, they are under both the pressure of the water and the pressure of the atmosphere, and thus are automatically under a higher total pressure. So how could the water in your tubes have a negative pressure? That’s impossible as the water is exerting a pressure. When you add on the vacuum, you’re decreasing the vapor pressure of the water, so more and more of it evaporates, creating more pressure (to reach equilibrium according to Le Chatelier’s Principle), that ultimately can leave as long as the vacuum pump is turned on. If the vapor pressure is above the external atmospheric pressure, the water will boil, thus again, you’re in a pressured situation. Any bit of evporated or boiled liquid is releasing gaseous particles into the atmosphere above it, so there must, by definition, be a pressure. If you pulled a complete vacuum (which is impossible), it would cause the solid or liquid components of the container holding the vacuum to evaporate, boil, or sublime, thus creating a pressure (it might be too low a pressure for your pressure gauge to measure though). Again, equilibria will always exist, so true complete vacuums cannot exist.

    • @abdulrhman5502
      @abdulrhman5502 4 года назад +1

      Your first statement is true for larger tubes but in the case of smaller tubes the glass-water interface is much bigger relative to the volume of water so that the surface tension is strong enough to pull the water up.
      The negative pressure is the water molecules being pulled away from each other to the point where they should be vapor but there is no point for the water to start evaporating.
      Please correct me if I got something wrong.

  • @Pika250
    @Pika250 4 года назад +5

    This is exactly how such trees as redwoods and the like operate; they use the roots to pull water from the soil, through the xylem (which plays the role of the capillary tubes), and into the leaves where it just evaporates. I recall watching a video by Veritasium about this not too long ago.

  • @markrankin2954

    Normally, i get what he is going on about. But this one seems like a lie. Sounds like he is saying with a thin enough straw that you dont need to suck; it's not true. Looks like to me im using big words to sound smart, which i never get from him. The not/knot pressures explanation was bs. Because it should read 1 atmosphere and he wrote knot making it false.
    Video could be tldr: water causes compaction within tubes to cause over pressure

  • @revcrussell
    @revcrussell Год назад +1

    This is why a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. No, you can't get negative absolute pressure, that is the point in calling it "absolute pressure". No, water doesn't just flow due to pressure differentials, as seen by this capillary action. P = ρgh is a generalization and doesn't apply to capillary tubes. The pressure that drives the water flow is actually coming from the water itself, not the air pressure *just as your experiment shows* . Actually the rise of height in a capillary tube is *not* dependant on pressure at all, see Jurin's law.

      mercury is a liquid metal and does not fill the microscopic crevices within the glass tube due to atomic size, thus it can't fill the crevices and use surface tension to pull up more water which is a self-reinforcing effect until equilibrium is reached. So, your comment is a gross concept error, troll.

      I would not think so. The same energy that you could get by the water moving into a tube would be needed to get the water out again.
      I think you could compare this to water moving from a high place to a low place. You can extract energy from that, but afterwards you have to move the water up again, using up the same amount of energy.

    @impyre2513 4 года назад +1

    That's not how pressure works. There's no such thing as negative pressure. What you're describing is just pressure. You can't think of the vacuum as "pulling" on the liquid, that erroneous thought leads to incorrect ideas. This is just a situation in which the main forces at play are electrostatic forces between molecules. They naturally push against each other, and a capillary tube enhances this action due to surface tension. This results in a net pressure pushing away from the center of the fluid. I'll also mention that those who use the misleading term "negative pressure" are typically referring to relative pressure (which is especially meaningless in a vacuum)

    • @Owen_loves_Butters
      @Owen_loves_Butters 3 года назад +1

      In a gas this is true. But in a liquid or a solid, you can get lower than 0 absolute pressure. This is because they can actually be under tension. Vacuums don’t suck, but liquids under tension can suck.

    For extra understanding, think of pressure as a force per area. So under tension, there's a negative force per area, hence a negative pressure. Fluid physics things like this are fun, but the math is horrible. Our faculty has a fluid track, teaching things like capillarity and advanced fluid mechanics, which are nightmarish if you're not a math genius. Glad I went into material engineering physics 😆

    1:21 "...at the water liquid interface, the pressure in the liquid is below atmospheric pressure."
    Intuitively, at first I was tempted to disputer this.
    But giving it more thought, I see you are right, based on a force analysis at the surface layer.
    The surface layer is stationary because atmospheric pressure is pushing it down, capillary forces are pulling it up, and the liquid pressure is also exerting an upward force at this point....and the sum of these forces has to be zero net force. This only adds up if the liquid pressure at the interface is below atmospheric pressure.

  • @jorisvergeerTBA
    @jorisvergeerTBA 4 года назад +3

    @the action lab, this has nothing to do with pressure. The capillary action happens because water molecules are sticking to the glass tubes and surface tension pulls up more water, bringing more water in contact with the glass, which can then stick to the glass and pulls in even more water. It Goed on until the upward attraction is in equilibrium with gravity. It has nothing to do with pressure. It is more a electrostatic effect. It is more comparible with a magnet pulling up a string of paperclips until the point where the string becomes too heavy and let's go of the magnet. No pressures involved there either.
