Well, at least I learned some facts about tea.
The rest is all speculation.

On the contrary: if you smash yourself in a trash compactor, your volume will remain (approximately) constant while your surface area decreases. You are mostly water, which is for all intents and purposes an incompressible fluid. You have all sorts of appendages, wrinkles, bumps, etc. that increase your surface area; when compressed into a cube or cylinder, your surface area will decrease, but your volume must remain constant. Of course, there is one way to prove it....TimeTravel123456789 wrote: If I smash myself with a trash compactor, my volume has decreased with the same surface area of material. The information content of me has decreased even though I have the same surface area. My unsmushed volume can hold more interactive information than my surface area. Smashed and smushed I have the same surface area, less volume. I have more interactive information with more volume.
If you smash yourself with a trash compactor, you are dead, no exceptions no exchanged no refunds!!!pcress wrote:On the contrary: if you smash yourself in a trash compactor, your volume will remain (approximately) constant while your surface area decreases.

The first stereograms I saw were in a Scientific American article many years ago, and if memory serves they were black and white (not even greyscale). There were also some red/green stereograms, and colored glasses were included with the magazine.footprint wrote:Hey, I've got a question about these stereograms, or whatever they're called. Of course they were all the rage a number of years ago, but I've always been curious whether they need to be multicolored as they always are. I've never seen one in grayscale, or more "natural" colors.
I assume the near periodicity is more evident in the color schemes used, and it helps realigning the eyes, but is it really necessary?

Hmm...I think that's at classical pressures. At some point before collapse into a neutron mass, the atoms must surely be crushed into a configuration where they could no longer be considered bonded to one another.rigelan wrote:funny enough, pressure would cause hydrogen & oxygen to form into water, not water to disassociate
The less pressure, the more molecules you will have.

Well, at some point you end up with electron-degenerate matter, which is basically a bunch of free-roaming atomic nuclei in a 'sea' of degenerate electron gas. This is what makes up the innards of white dwarf stars.iamlucky13 wrote:Hmm...I think that's at classical pressures.

You need to cross (actually uncross) your eyes the right way in order to be able to view the effect. A quick and dirty cheat to seeing these (assuming it's displayed on a monitor or behind a layer of glass) is to focus on the reflection of a light that's some distance behind you. This gets your eyes into the proper 'distance viewing' configuration to see the 3D image.Mushhushshu13 wrote:Where is the teapot thingy anyway???
Plz tell.
Why teapots anyway??
