The number of armchair scientists here who seemingly believe they have a better understanding of physics than those involved in conducting this experiment is hilarious
No. You're hilarious. You're the joke.
@@JayDreamerZ Since you have a better understanding of physics than the scientists and engineers who put a space station into orbit, and the astronauts who subsequently inhabit it?
@@thatotherandrew_ Apparently.
Yes and they wouldn't lie would they.
@@JayDreamerZ Did you notice the size of that candle? With the cost of lifting a kilogram into space having been around $65,000.00 why would they use such a overly large candle? Why not a pinky slim birthday candle? I am blown away by the amount of blind faith and unwillingness to question what is being put forth by these fake space agencies.
This is a Chinese astronaut giving a lesson to the children of the earth in space, but it seems that we adults find it more interesting.😂
Never cease being curious about the world around you. Even as an adult, you should search out wonder in every thing and every day. We're only here for a short time, we should spend every second revelling in existence, because it's a vast and wonderful experience.
This is a lesson about space taught by astronauts to Chinese primary school students. There are no deep questions but it is very interesting. I don't know what you are arguing about.
Instead of “you” point out the person
On Earth, due to gravity, when a candle burns, hot air rises and cold air falls, so the flame takes on a cone shape. In space, due to zero gravity, the gas spreads in all directions, so the flame takes on a spherical shape.
Or in a zero gravity plane you get the same effect. Why did they cut the experiment short and run away? The plane had to pull up, it is all done in limited time sections. They are not in space.

It's amazing how heat doesn't rise when there's no such thing as up.
There is still an “up” in orbit. Those astronauts would experience 99% of Earth’s gravitational pull if they weren’t in a lateral tangential motion to the surface of the Earth.
The forces for up or down are just cancelled out by the forward velocity of the space station as orbit is maintained.

Hot air doesn't rise in microgravity. That's why the flame is a sphere.
Also the exhaust does not move up, thats why the flame turns blue.
It smothers itself.
In zero gravity, there is no convection to drive combustion so the gasses have to diffuse through the wall of flame. Early Apollo designs used 100% Oxygen in the capsule with the understanding that lack of convection would limit any fire. But they still used 100% Oxygen during ground tests with gravity and tragically killed the crew of Apollo 1.
Even a tiny movement of that candle created enough airflow for the flame intensity to go back up. In 20/20 hindsight, it was absolutely nuts to assume, without test burns in a realistic mockup, that there'd be no out-gassing or other air agitation factors (including the astronauts' activity given the fire).
they use pure oxygen because they lower the air pressure in Apollo capsule. (ie: 21% atmosphere oxygen without other gas is pure oxygen but a fraction of the pressure)
it was't the 100% oxygen that was the problem with Apollo 1. It was 100% oxygen at 1.15 atm. Back then, in a spacecraft, you would have 100% oxygen at 0.3 atm, which makes a HUGE difference in combustion speed.
@@wernerviehhauser94 Thanks for these important details.
In zero gravity with nothing in it there is no convection, maybe, but here we have convection as the wax beneath the wick heats, expands and forces air away.
Since there is no up and down from space. The flame went in every direction which formed a spherical shape. That's crazy to know.

@@richspillman4191 A MI ME GUSTA BAILAR
没脑子的人才说这种傻逼话
Im guessing that rotating the candle 180% so it's facing "downwards" wouldn't make the molten wax "fall down" from the candle like it would on Earth, but it would have been nice to see it done. Or whether the "overflow" of excess molten wax would slide down and harden on the side of the candle the same on Earth, or whether it could also float sideways and harden perpendicular to the candle, giving the appearance similar to petals on a flower stem. It seemed the experiment was cut short too quickly and didn't explore various options and possibilities long enough -- of course they may have conducted other experiments that tested these things but just not shown it.
its dangerous to light fires in space so i cant imagine they wanted to keep it lit very long. i guess they have lower safety standards because one wrong move and the entire crew is dead and the station is lost.
I imagine the wax would just also form a sphere since it’s liquid, and probably suffocate the wick
What do you mean "rotate the candle 180° so you can see it done" ?
Do you not grasp that it WAS 180° to ANOTHER orientation? There is no orientation you could use that would produce any difference.
For the record the wax melts until enough liquid extinguishes the flame, then rehardens as a sphere on the end. You notice how the flame was having a hard time without the warm less dense air rising- this wasn't dangerous at all, you'd have to put it near a breeze just to keep enough oxygen feeding the flame.
Correct. Surface tension appears to be holding the wax to the candle. Might also be because its the same material so its sticking to itself enough to not globulate. Orientation doesn't matter.
The wax actually is burning off the wick. Kind of makes me wonder if its working more efficiently because the wax isn't able to escape.
@@OspreyKnight Yeah it's much more viscous than water so it's going to have a strong surface tension, resisting globules that could float away. It would just build up, creating less wick available for oxygen to interact on the molecular level, which weakens the heat of the flame, until the point where there's too much wax (fuel) and not enough oxygen (oxidizer) and thus the fire triangle collapses due to insufficient energy (heat).
Now in a 100% oxygen environment such as the one that killed the Apollo 1 crew, that sucker will burn bright in a circular flame, and that's what I'd like to see in microgravity! However now the danger level is like beyond. Cranking the station to full O2 and striking a match, not good!
That is cool how it forms a dome. Looked like a force field.
As long as the air breathing in the space station is about the consistency on Earth, we don't need much concerning of an explosion.
What if he lost grip on the candle and it set fire to the rest of the station?
@@OochPinnock
Then all is lost. Might as well naming schools after them... except for the one who dropped the candle.
@@OochPinnock Then the candle would float and he would grab it. Also, space stations are not made of paper and their atmospheres are normal sea level ones.

@@alexyoung9871 What's funny is I just got back from yo momma's mud hut, it was a long flight but well worth the trip, she so sloppy.
Fascinating! Thanks. Without an airflow through the spacecraft's cabin, and past the candle, the flame would extinguish. This becomes apparent when the card is held steady behind it, thus restricting the airflow to the flame.
Thanks for the very illustrating video.

Lol the internet is a cesspool of bs like that. I see stories on google all the time “ video goes viral” but it’s of a vine or something that was posted more than a decade ago haha
Because scientists in ISS are forbid to have open fire in the station due to safety measurement. the CSS had set new standards to space station rules thanks to more improved technology. Then you got propagandists and flat earthers going all over the place. But whatever it's free speech.
It's chinese propaganda. They use bots to make chinese patriotic videos go viral. Russians do the same with their "russian memes" you can literally look it up. Most of these videos about russians memes include the russian military.

@@RSCB Do not expect a valid answer from a flatearther.
For those concerned with safety, gravity promotes airflow due to density differentials. Don’t you see the sphere is more blue in space? Air exchange is more difficult in space. As a matter of fact, lighting a candle is much safer than spilling some drinking water in spce
it also makes it difficult to cool electronic (like cooling a laptop) because the air could re-circulate in the same place, even after pushing with its built-in fan until the electronics get really hot.
@@xponen ohhh good point. Good to know thanks!
A fire any bigger than that is a huge problem in such a small space when there's nowhere to go. NASA's done fire too, but I don't think they lit it with a match. That released a TON of smoke and dust that's got nothing else to do but settle in and on their computers, experiments, lungs . . .

That was cool! I was hoping to see the pattern of the smoke dissipation after they extinguished the flame.

Would be even better if the demonstration rotated the candle 360 degrees around the ball flame.
There is no "up", so the flame stays round
Now we know why the sun is a ball….lol
All things in space are a ball, from the largest mass to the smallest mass. Like your screen is made out of many square pixels to create one image. Life is made out of many circle shaped atoms to create one image bound together by electrons which all travel in circular motion. God is probably a perfect circle.

It's not a pure Oxygen environment - they learnt that mistake on Apollo 1. This is perfectly safe as a small experiment.
It is a pure oxygen environment just the same as Apollo 1. Spacecraft just contain a third of the pressure as objects on the ground and so 100% oxygen in space is only a third as dense as 100% oxygen on Earth.
@krashd not true. They match the air the same as earth. It's majority of nitrogen. They do not use 100% oxygen atmospheres on space craft...
They should also have flipped the candle to show that the orientation does not matter.

Differences in the behaviour of fundamental processes when you take away gravity, like this, are one of the things that makes space environment such a useful research tool, and worth investing in.
Had to make then a little bit nervous to have fire in the space station. Even if just a little flame.
that is why the astronaut is so careful to snuff out the flame.
They're using a regular oxy/nitrogen mix, not 100% oxygen which is explosive and flamable.
Giving Flat Earthers migraines.
The match head igniting and burning showed the concept more spectacularly.
Also, open fire in that environment, risky stuff.

@@privacyhelp I'm a 'westerner' so I can say yes, you're both right. Education is not valued. It's pathetic.
can i ask, why dose the wax not flot away as it burns? you can see the wax ripple as it melts.
It's called "surface tension". Once the liquid is free flowing it would float away but if it's touching something it "sticks" to it. Same reason why water that condenses on a window doesn't flow down the glass (until it gets big & heavy enough to overcome the surface tension).
A while ago, the International Space Station also conducted a live broadcast about using a towel to fill it with water and wring it dry. At that time, although the water detached from the towel, it still adhered to the surface of the towel, which is suction. The same principle applies to flames and candles
I just watch an astronaut put out a match in a paper towel and then put it in his pocket
Was he in the same restaurant as you?
You know that you can make the paper towel wet by soaking it in water, of course the match is going to go out if you put on that towel.
This is amazing.
When I was 13, I read a book by Arthur Clark (yes, 2001 Odyssey author) in which he describes exactly what the flame would look like.

Excellent observation. Yes Sun's fusion fire would expand out in a sphere, gravity pulls it back down and the limitation = the orb.
What candle is this? I didn't see any of the melted wax "drip." I believe I saw it pool under the flame, but couldn't tell.
Just a regular candle. Wax is held by the surface tension. It doesn't drip down because there's no gravity, and it doesn't float up because there's nothing pushing it.
@AlexBesogonov that's what I couldn't remember, I really couldn't remember what it was called, lol. I also don't really use candles, sooooo.
Why would it drip? Sure, the space station has basically the same gravity as Earth but they are in constant free fall creating an artificial anti-gravity space. The wax wouldn't drip, it would pool, as you saw.

do you not?
Intresting how the flame shaped like a half of sphere, can some one explain kindly.
gravity
Hot air is lighter than cold air, so when in gravity, the flame travels upwards and forms a cone shape.
However when in zero gravity, the weight of hot and cold air does not apply and thus the flame simply stays where it is, not travelling up or down
The basis of the flame is the top of the candle. Due to the absence of convection, the gases are expelled in all directions (hence the flame assumes a spherical shape), but the basis probably prevents the gas from spreading downwards, towards the candle, creating the upwards half-sphere on the video.
The wick is in the way. Since combustion is only on the top surface of the wick, the flame burns from there in all direction, except down b/c the wick is in the way.

The blue flame is because the heat stays localized around the flame instead of rising up making it burn hotter and cleaner than in gravity where you would see less complete combustion producing glowing carbon particles. I am a bit surprised that it didn't suffocate itself from lack of oxygen but I guess there's enough air flow around it to keep it burning. The hot wax probably traveled up the wick more easily too because there's no gravity so you get less burning wick and more paraffin burning which sends the burn cleaner as well.
Sounds like this can be used to optimize vacuum rocket engines
@@timspikerhow
@@tvre0 Using fuel suction from combustion itself instead of using fuel pumps.
@@timspikernot even close to fast enough even if you could apply the effect. The wax is soaking up the wick to replace what's burnt at grams/hour. Even a modest rocket burns fuel at tons/second.
@@jonathanj8303 Damn, I'm not a rocket scientist 😂
Did he just put a match out with a paper towel? 😂😂
The heat tries to equally go in all directions at the same time because in Zero G, there is no UP!
😅😅😅 LoL I love the Way China likes to have fun 😁😁😁
I give it a 2 dollar sucki sucki
@@lilianmeade3928 you would definitely sucki sucki like the ice cream in your video shorts. 🙈
Cool
China defeated everyone, now we know how everyone goes to the moon. Love from pakistan ❤❤
Apparently they have too much spare oxygene there 😅
Класс! Впервые вижу такой эксперимент. Спасибо большое. Супер
Vamos ala playa.
Этим экспериментам сто лет в обед, но выглядят они и у китайцев прикольно.

Imagine trying to blow it out.
Why would it be any different?
It would be super easy since the flame is barely holding on.
@@user-yj8zw7hk6f nah more like a backflip Willy Wonka style.
@@lajoswinkler it is thinkable that blowing on the candle would overcome the surface tension that holds the wax together, creating hot bubbles that flow around.
You mean that hadn’t been done before?
Does freefall have an effect on the wick somehow? Seemed like it was having an issue drawing up melted wax compared to an earthbound candle.
they're so respectful to the flame. they didn't blow it. wow.
Might be because you don't want to catch all the wax drops flying around. Might be.
Seeing the smoke coming off the match in that confined space made me concerned but then they put it out with a damp cloth as soon as the candle was lit. Shaking it like you would normally would have cause much more contamination of the air.
I guess it wasn't their birthday
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 Yes. I imagine that they outline their experiments in a lab notebook and have colleagues review and adjust procedure before the experiment.
This is really cool to see.
Still can't wait to hear what the flat earthers have to say tho lol
@SciManDan 😊
They'd probably say that it's CGI.
youtube tags do not work that way.
@@NoSTs123 yeah I remembered that afterwards lol. Thanks.
They'll always say everything is faked. It's their go to argument for everything, then they say "well prove it".... ugh
Probably "MATCHES DON'T LIGHT IN SPACE!!!".........OR "CANDLES DON'T WORK....."
The flame appears to be staying decently contained. That liquid wax beginning to pool under the flame though...yeesh. looked like surface tension was the only thing stopping it from wandering off the candle and getting into everything.
In zero gravity the wax is supposed to be rising up 😂
