Elliot B. Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Why is it, that whenever you pour some newly brought pop into a glass, the bubbles (that usually take up half the damn cup) move really slowly. However, when you put your finger into the center of the bubbles, they move at 'warp' speed? Hmmm... sTrAnGe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krome Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 in short.. it's surface tension... your fingers have germs and salty minerals that break the surface tension... try to test it with a clear and clean object and it will not break the surface tension... I wonder if this issue have anything to do with computing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritsuke Veteran Posted September 9, 2001 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2001 Hummm....I thought the bubbles where slow because when atoms are cold they compact and move at slower speeds (solids - not very active). However, when you pour warm soda, the bubbles are faster moving because they (atoms) are warm and the atoms are further apart(liquid - very active atoms). I figured that the bubbles moved fast when the finger dipped because of the heat from the finger. Oh well...useless science classes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davjak Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 There is meant to be bubbles in my soda? :s :s I think I better stop buying home brand soda ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 How do they get the bubbles in? Do they put them in individually or do they put bait in the soda to lure them in? Also, how come when I fart in my soda the bubbles go up instantly, yet with soda they come up slowly and not all at once??? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Posted September 9, 2001 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2001 Originally posted by mortensen Also, how come when I fart in my soda the bubbles go up instantly, yet with soda they come up slowly and not all at once??? :s because farts are warm (usually) while the bubles (or gas) in soda is ice cold (or colder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
