      While it may be true that a super fluid is frictionless, it would be wrong to say that it would continue to stir if placed in cup and stirred. It will eventually slow down due to the friction against the wall of said cup.

    Dumb idea, but maybe you guys could think of doing a special episode or panel on the topic of pursuing a career in science. I'm sure there are plenty of viewers who are high schoolers, early college students, and early career people who would love to learn more about how to get into different fields.
    Topics of interest might include: the general (with lots of caveats) career progression they can expect (e.g. undergrad -> PostBacc? -> grad (MA/MS/PhD) -> PostDoc -> Adjunct? ->...), tips for getting involved in labs while in undergrad, etc. If you keep it general enough, I'm sure many of your supporters will find it super helpful!

    Makes sense in a way. Spacetime lattice permeates everything, superfluids do too if the right type.

    Basically a superfluid is a bunch of molecules/elements whom under the right stressors have a main goal to keep their distance and respect the space of other molecules/atoms in the hopes the same courtesy is reciprocated thus creating what we observe as a super fluid. If there ever was a case for minding your own business scientifically, this would be it

  • @joshuab4586
    @joshuab4586 5 лет назад +3

    Wait wait wait, you can’t just say “space-time might be a superfluid” and not elaborate how that scales, like points in space-time are frictionless? Or multiverses are? Or like the fabric of space-time is actually a superfluid? Or everything down to quarks or strings are frictionless and don’t interfere with each other? I need an answer

    • @sarararah18

    *"All liquids tend to climb the wall of the container they're in"* > 3:09 < Wrong, the direction of the meniscus depends upon whether the molecules of liquid are more attracted to themselves, or the container they're in.

    • @PramodhYapa
      @PramodhYapa 5 лет назад

      This is an active area of research without any clear results just yet! There was some speculation that He-4 under high pressure formed something called a supersolid, but those experiments have been discredited now. We'll hopefully have some answers soon though!

    Some time ago I covered a bowl in alluminium foil just for decoration purposes, but after I filled it with water the water started to 'climb' the alluminium foil and leaking on the table! Why??

    • @andiward7068
      @andiward7068 5 лет назад

      Condensation. The evaporating water condenses underneath the foil and surface tension + wrinkles in the foil will wick the water to the edges and down the sides.

    These discrete energy levels sound a lot like an idealized digital signal, or digital information in storage… I wonder if they can be exploited somehow.

    • @PramodhYapa
      @PramodhYapa 5 лет назад +4

      They can and are already being developed! Look up 'Trapped Ion Quantum Computers' - they use the discrete energy levels of a ion suspended in an EM field, or embedded in a neutral atom matrix, to encode and process quantum information.

    If we ignore the extreme cold and just pretend that it can exist in room temperature what would actually happen if you drank a superfluid? Would it crawl it’s way up your throat or leak out of your digestive system?
