1 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: Hey, Daniel, do your kids ask you a lot of 2 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: physics questions? 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 2: Mmm? 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 3: Sometimes, but actually they're mostly interested in other stuff, like 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 3: horses or chemistry. 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: Whoa, it sounds like they're doing experiments on horses. 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 3: Not chemical experiments, fortunately. 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: Just the romantic chemistry kind between horses. 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 3: No comment. 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Well, do there questions ever give you good ideas like 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: for your science? 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 3: Not yet, but I'm waiting for the day they inspire 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: some new physics ideas in me. 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: Would you give them credit or did you just say 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: called the whites in theory? Then it can apply to both. 16 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 3: No, of course I'd give them credit. I'd love to 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 3: have a paper with my kids. 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: Whitesin and whiteson doubule whites in. 19 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, though I guess we might have an argument about 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: whose first author ooh. 21 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: Or whose last author? What are your kids? Window? Don't 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: kids always when. 23 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 3: I always put them first, even on author lists. 24 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: There you go. 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 4: Hi. 26 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: I'm hoora ma cartoonists and the author of Oliver's Great 27 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: Big Universe. 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist and a professor 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: at uc R Vine, and I love answering kids' questions. 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: But do kids love the answers? Though that's always the question. 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: As long as I can keep them brief, they're pretty 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: happy to hear them. 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: Doesn't it depend on the kind of question, like, Hey, Dick, 34 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: can I play more Vita games? 35 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: No? 36 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Can I play more Vida games? No? At some point, 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't think you enjoyed those questions, do you. 38 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: That's not the kind of question I mean. I mean 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: when they're trying to understand something, when you can see 40 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: their brains have chewed on something and it doesn't quite 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: fit together and they want to know what the resolution is. 42 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: Do they ever regret asking questions like I have a question, 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm curious, but oh wait, I forgot I'm going to 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: get a lecture from a physics professor. 45 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: Anything longer than like thirty seconds. And you can see 46 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 3: them start to tune me out. 47 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: You can see them start to think, maybe I should 48 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: have asked Wikipedia instead, not that Apedia. 49 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: Exactly. But hey, that trains me to keep my answers brief. 50 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: Oh there you go, to get it down to yes, 51 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: no answers. 52 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: What is quantum gravity? Yes? 53 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: Yes and no. There you go. It's about true and false. 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: Do they ever ask you questions about the like everyday 55 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: life that you can't answer. 56 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they asked me questions about how to 57 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: navigate tricky situations, and sometimes there isn't the perfect answer. 58 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: No, I mean like everyday phenomenon that happens to them 59 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: about physics. 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, all the time. There's lots of things in kids' 61 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: lives that they don't understand. Why a rainbow follows them around, 62 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: or why you can smell the rain before it comes. 63 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: All sorts of things inspire questions. 64 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: And what if you don't know the answer, or what 65 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: if there isn't an answer? 66 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: Those are my favorite because then I get to show 67 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: them how little we understand about the universe and how 68 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: close they are to the forefront of knowledge. 69 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: What if there is an answer but you don't know it, 70 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: you have to take a little Wikipeda break. 71 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, then we try to figure it out together exactly, 72 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: and I show them how to find their own answers. 73 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Oh, well, there you go, how to google together in 74 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: case they don't know how to do it already. 75 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: A crucial skill in today's world. 76 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: But it is interesting how sometimes there are still mysteries 77 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: that you find even in our everyday lives, right in 78 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: small effects that it kind of surprises you. The scientists 79 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: don't know the answer to. 80 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people have the impression that we've 81 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: mostly figured out the universe, that your everyday experience is 82 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: totally cracked and it's just like tiny little questions like 83 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: what's inside a black hole or what's dark matter made 84 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: out of the physicists are struggling over. But there's a 85 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: lot of things in your everyday experience that are still 86 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: pretty tricky. 87 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 88 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: I remember we had the podcast episode about ice skates, right, 89 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: isn't that a big mystery still how ice skates work? 90 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, ice skates and bicycles and all sorts of stuff. 91 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: And sometimes we like to tackle these questions on our 92 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: podcast to hopefully demystify or at least explain the mystery 93 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: to people. 94 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: And some of the questions that scientists are still struggling 95 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: over we're inspired by actual children, teenagers. 96 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Even so, today on the podcast, we'll be asking the 97 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: question does hot or cold water freeze faster? This seems 98 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: a bit a left field for our podcast, why because 99 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: it's chemistry kind of or it doesn't involve some distant 100 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: planet or some crazy microscopic effect. 101 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 3: Well, there are crazy microscopic effects here, and it is 102 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: really fascinating, But in the end, this is what physics 103 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 3: is about, is explaining our everyday world, what we can 104 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: see in the sky, but also what we see under 105 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: our feet. And it's a huge challenge to bring it 106 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: up from microscopic particles to explaining the fabric of our reality. 107 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: So sometimes I'd like to show how difficult it is 108 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: to really bridge that gap. 109 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: To explain it all here, even the things inside of 110 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: your fridge which may seem inexplicable and mysterious. 111 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: And this particular story really was inspired by an experiment 112 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: done by a Tanzanian teenager who wrote the first paper 113 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: on the topic. 114 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Now, this is an interesting question. Does hot or cold 115 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: water freeze faster? Because I guess, at first glance, it 116 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: seems kind of obvious that the colder water is going 117 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: to freeze faster if you put them in a freezer. 118 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: Exactly, But it turns out the universe is not so simple, 119 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 3: or your freezer is not that simple. Your freezer is 120 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 3: part of the universe. 121 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, although sometimes it seems like it's from another dimension. 122 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: If you look inside my freezer, there's things going in 123 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: there that have a supernatural color to them. 124 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: I think my freezer might have additional dimensions because I 125 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: keep putting ice cream in there and then it's gone. 126 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, it goes into a black hole maybe 127 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: called your stomach or my teenager. But anyways, welcome to 128 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: our podcast, Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe, a production 129 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio. 130 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: In which we tackle mysteries big and small, all hot 131 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 3: and cold, weird and. 132 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: Wacky mysteries that you encounter every day, and mysteries that 133 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: sometimes nobody may ever encounter. We cover the whole range. 134 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: But anyways, this is kind of a seemingly simple question, 135 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: and we were wondering how many people out there had 136 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: thought about this and whether they know whether the answer 137 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: is yes or no. 138 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: Thanks very much to everybody who answers these questions. We 139 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: love this audience participation segment and we'd love to hear 140 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: your voice as part of the chorus. So please write 141 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: to me two questions at Danielanhorge dot com and I'll 142 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: set you up. 143 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: So think about it for a second. Which one do 144 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: you think freezes faster? Hot or cold water. Here's what 145 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: people have to say. 146 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 4: I've heard that hot water phrases faster. I'm not sure why. Possibly, 147 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: I think maybe the atoms have more speed and are 148 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: more active, so maybe they lose their heaked a little 149 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 4: bit quicker than colder water. 150 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: So hot water definitely freezes faster. 151 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 6: And I know this because in Colorado you can take 152 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 6: boiling water and throw it in the air on a 153 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 6: really cold day and it turns into freezy dusts really fast. 154 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: Well, I would imagine cold water freeze faster because freezing 155 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: is the process of slowing down your molecules to the 156 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 2: point where they would be measured cynthigrade. So hot water 157 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: a lot more energy than the molecules they are moving 158 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: a lot quicker, so more energy needs to be applied 159 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: over a longer duration to slow those molecules down. However, 160 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: I suspect the correct answer is probably hot because it's 161 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: the less obvious one. 162 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 5: It's funny because I've seen so many science shows demonstrate this, 163 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 5: and I clearly remember that hot water freezes faster, but 164 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 5: I do not remember exactly why. I think it's because 165 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 5: there's more energy in hot water to facilitate the phase transition, 166 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 5: but that's just my guess. 167 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 7: Well, I believe it's hot water, but I don't really 168 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 7: know why, other than it's always been a wives tale 169 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 7: of sorts. Maybe because of hot water is as more pressure, 170 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 7: and I know pressure is a big part of phase 171 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 7: changes as much as temperature. 172 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 8: Well, logic would say cold water freeze faster because it's 173 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 8: already closer to the freezing point. But you wouldn't ask 174 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 8: this question if it would be that easy. 175 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 9: And I seem to recall that some people were chutting 176 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 9: boiling water into freezing air on YouTube a while back. 177 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 9: So my final answer is hot water freezes faster. But 178 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 9: I cannot tell you why. 179 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 6: I always thought that boiled water freezing faster was just 180 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 6: a myth. But you can boil water at room temperature 181 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 6: by lowering the pressure, so perhaps if you increase the 182 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 6: pressure maybe. 183 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's dig into this strange question, Daniel, 184 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: What does this question even mean? What's the setup? 185 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: I love this question because it seems so simple, both experimentally, 186 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: like actually measuring this and theoretically, but it turns out 187 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 3: to be much more complicated in both aspects. From a 188 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 3: basic point of view, it's a very simple experiment you 189 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: could do while you listen to this episode. I mean, 190 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: take two cups of water, one of them hotter than 191 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: the other, put them both in the freezer and just 192 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: measure how long does it take for each one to freeze? 193 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: And now what answer the question? Does hot or cold 194 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: water freeze faster? 195 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: Which one turns into a cube of ice first? 196 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 197 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: Exactly does it depend on what you mean by freeze? 198 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: M We're going to get into that. 199 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, But I guess the question is which of the 200 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: two cups, the hot one or the cold one, turns 201 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: into ice first? And so intuitively you'd assume that the 202 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: cold one freezes faster because it's closer to freezing temperature. 203 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: Exactly, if you can describe water basically in terms of 204 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: just one variable, like it's temperature, then the hot water 205 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: has to travel further along that temperature line, and so 206 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 3: it should take longer. Like eventually the hot water will 207 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: become the cold water, and they'll still have to progress 208 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: to freezing. So if the hot water has to pass 209 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 3: through the cold water point, then it's like riding the 210 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: bus home. If you get on at a further stop, 211 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: it's going to take longer to get home. 212 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: Right, Like, if you have hot water one hundred degrees 213 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: and cold water at fifty degrees, Eventually, after a while, 214 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: the hot water is going to be fifty degrees, at 215 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: which point it's basically the same starting point as the 216 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: cold water. 217 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and if it took time to get there, then 218 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: obviously it's going to take longer overall to get to 219 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: the freezing point. 220 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: Right. So you would think that the cold water freezes 221 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: faster because the hot water has to become the cold 222 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: water first anyways, exactly, But it sounds like physicists have 223 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: other ideas. 224 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just physicists. It's sort of an old 225 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 3: wives tale that people have been repeating for like centuries 226 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: or millennia that hot water freezes faster. You hear plumbers 227 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 3: in the northeastern part of the United States often saying 228 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: things like that hot water pipes freeze more often in 229 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: big snowstorms, like they will burst more often than the 230 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: cold water pipes. There's writings by Aristotle in the fourth 231 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: century BC who says, many people, when they want to 232 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: cool water quickly, begin by putting it in the sun. 233 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: Mm. 234 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: Interesting, give it a sunburned first, and that will freeze 235 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: it faster. Now does Aristotle count as an old wife? 236 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Is he like the og old wife? 237 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 3: He's definitely one of the og physicists. But you know, 238 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: in the end it comes down to actually measuring this, 239 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 3: like doing the experiment. And for a long time this 240 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: is something people sort of just discussed and assumed that 241 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: the cold water freezed faster. But then there was this 242 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: event in the nineteen sixties that involved ice cream that 243 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 3: sort of changed the course of this question forever. 244 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, did somebody stop to eat a snag 245 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: er and accidentally drop that left some cold water in 246 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: the freezer. 247 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: No, there was a Tanzanian teenager named Erasto Pemba. He 248 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: and his science class were doing the exercise of making 249 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 3: ice cream, but apparently there weren't going to be enough 250 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: slots in the refrigerator. While most students were letting the 251 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: ingredients cool to room temperature, he just jammed his in 252 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: the freezer to get a spot, and he saw that 253 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 3: his concoction froze faster than other kids who put it 254 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: in at the same time and started cooler. So he thought, hmm, 255 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: maybe hot water does freeze. 256 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: Faster, so he did it with ice cream. But that's 257 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: not really how you make ice cream, is it. You 258 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: don't just freeze cream, do you know. 259 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: You have to freeze it and you have to mix 260 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: it at the same time. So I'm not sure if 261 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: he qualifies as ice cream. 262 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: So maybe he was just making popsicles exactly creamsicles. I 263 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: guess I'm not just trying to debug this story figure 264 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: out what is really true here, Daniel. We're doing some 265 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: heart investigating here. 266 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: That's just sort of what inspired him. And he asked 267 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: his physics teacher about it, and his physics teacher told him, no, no, no, 268 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: you're confused. That cannot happen, is physically impossible. And then 269 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 3: later on a physicist came to visit his school, and 270 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: he raised his hand and he told his story, and 271 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 3: he asked the physicist about it, and the physicist was 272 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: interested enough to invite him back to his lap where 273 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: they did a bunch of experiments confirmed the result. They 274 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 3: saw hot water freeze faster than cold water, and then 275 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: they wrote a paper together and that's why this is 276 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: now called the Pemba effect. 277 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: WHOA, So they actually did an experiment in a physics lab. 278 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 3: They actually did an experiment in a physics lab. 279 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: And what did this experiment look like? 280 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: The experiment is just two cups of water in a 281 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 3: freezer with thermometers in them. 282 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: M I see, pretty basic. 283 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: It was pretty basic but the paper is pretty fun 284 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 3: to read because it's written by a teenager. Like the 285 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: opening line of the paper is my name is Erastum Pemba, 286 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: and I'm going to tell you about my discovery, which 287 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: was due to misusing a refrigerator. 288 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: Nice, nice and direct, nice and direct, opposed to how 289 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: an adult academic would do it, which is would take 290 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: you the seven paragraphs to get to the same point exactly. 291 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: But the question you asked a minute ago about the 292 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: details of the experiment turn out to be crucial because 293 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: these experiments done in the sixties sort of established the effect, 294 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: and lots of people have tried to reproduce it in 295 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: the decades following with mixed success. 296 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: Wait, but if it's a simple experiment just putting two 297 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: cups into a freezer, you're saying people have done the 298 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: same thing, but some of sometimes the cold water beats 299 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: the hot water, and sometimes the hot water beats the 300 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: cold water to the freezing point. 301 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: Exactly. The experiments seem to be very sensitive to the 302 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: conditions in a way that we do not fully understand 303 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 3: because it's not just two cups of water in a freezer. 304 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: It's like the questions of the purity of the water 305 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: or the blowing of the fan through the freezer. Something 306 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: is going on which makes this very difficult to reproduce. 307 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: It's not just about putting two cups inside of a freezer. 308 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: It's about like how they're being cooled and what they're 309 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: sitting on. 310 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: Maybe perhaps I read one study that saw hot water 311 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 3: freeze faster and they discovered that it was because the 312 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 3: shelves of the freezer were covered in frost, and the 313 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: hot water basically melted that frost, which improved the thermal 314 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 3: contact with the shelf, the metal shelf, and that helped 315 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: it cool faster. So all sorts of little details like 316 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: that can make a difference in how you do this experiment. 317 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: Well, but I guess you know, the main headline is 318 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: that this is kind of an undecided question. It seems 319 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: like people have tried it, and sometimes the hot water 320 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: does beat the cold water to freezing. 321 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something which is not experimentally decided, like we 322 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: cannot reliably reproduce this result. It turns out to only 323 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: happen under certain conditions and be very sensitive to those conditions, 324 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: and nobody has quite isolated those and controlled them. 325 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: But I guess my question is how hard have people tried, Like, 326 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: have you spent billions of dollars you have in the 327 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: leec to figure out this question? Or is this one 328 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: of those questions that you only see, you know, physicists 329 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: publish at the on their websites. 330 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: No, there are real labs doing detailed studies because it 331 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 3: turns out this is a really interesting question on the 332 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: energetics of water, and so people have really tried. I 333 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: read another review of this which said, quote, there is 334 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: a wealth of experimental variation in the problem. So any 335 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: laboratory undertaking such investigations is guaranteed different results from all 336 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: the others. So this is something serious physicists and chemists 337 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: are trying to nail down because the chemistry of water 338 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: is very important. It's very important to life, it's important 339 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 3: to climate change, it's important to exoplanets like water is 340 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: important stuff. 341 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear, it's important for horses too. 342 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: I'll have to ask my daughter about it. 343 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's dig into the details of the 344 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: chemistry of water and the details of these experiments and 345 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: how they might affect who wins first cold water or 346 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: hot water to freezing. So let's do that. But first 347 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break or right, we're asking the 348 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: simple question does hot or cold water freeze faster? And 349 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: it seems like the answer is it depends, which is 350 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: wild like the idea that hot water can freeze faster 351 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: than cold water. 352 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 3: It comes down to lots of tricky little details. One 353 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: question you asked earlier is like, well, what do you 354 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: mean by freezing? Right? Is that the formation of crystals. 355 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 3: It's possible that like hot water could start forming crystals sooner, 356 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: but actually takes longer to get to zero C. Water 357 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: is very complicated stuff and it can exist in different 358 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: phases at the same temperature. Or do you really just 359 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: mean thermodynamically getting to zero C? 360 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Well, I guess maybe I would guess that what most 361 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: people think of as freezing is when water turns into 362 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: a solid. So are you saying sometimes the hot water 363 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: turns completely into a solid. 364 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 3: First, Yeah, some of these experiments see hot water forming 365 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: these crystals first, right, number water is a sort of 366 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 3: a disordered crystal. It's possible for the water, which starts 367 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 3: out hot, to start forming those crystals, and crystal formation 368 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: is very stochastic. 369 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: Right. 370 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: Once you get a seed going, then you can rapidly 371 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 3: form more crystals, So it sot of depends on like 372 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 3: when you get that first seed. So hot water might 373 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: be able to like first form that seed, which gives 374 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 3: it an advantage even if it's still at a higher temperature. 375 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: Right. And I think freezing also kind of depends on 376 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: pressure as well, Right, But I guess you're assuming they're 377 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: both under the same amount of pressure. 378 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're assuming that they're in a refrigerator, 379 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 3: which is basically like an infinite thermal bath and can 380 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: provide the pressure. But there are these little details also 381 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 3: like evaporation, right, like did you seal your container, because 382 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 3: hot water will also evaporate, which lowers its volume, which 383 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: makes it easier to freeze. 384 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: I see, So the hot water, even if you stack 385 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: it in the freezer, it's going to be hot for 386 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: a while, and so some of it's going to vapor 387 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: rate out into the freezer, which means that the amount 388 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: of water left in the cup will be less than 389 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: the amount of water in the cold cup, which means 390 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: that it might be easier for it to freeze. 391 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: Mm exactly. And there's other complicated experimental issues too, like 392 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: one study discovered that it dependent on where you put 393 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 3: the thermometer in the cup that sometimes they could get 394 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 3: false readings of the Impemba effect because they put the 395 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 3: thermometer like in the wrong place. 396 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: What do you mean, what's the right place to put 397 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: it in the cup of water? 398 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 3: Basically you have to have them in the same place. Really, 399 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 3: you should put it at the core so that you're 400 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 3: measuring the time it takes the core to get to 401 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 3: zero C for both cups. You mean for both cups. 402 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 3: But if you don't place the thermometer exactly in the 403 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 3: center for both of them, you can get a false 404 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 3: reading of the Impemba effect. So there's two things going 405 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 3: on here. One is like how treaty it is to 406 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: reproduce this effect? And the other is are all the 407 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 3: reported cases of the Mpemba effect actually real or are 408 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: some of them experimental mismeasurements. 409 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: Well, let's break it down. In the case is that 410 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: we think or people have thought that hot water fast 411 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: or what do you think might be going on? 412 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 3: It all comes down to this question of describing water 413 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 3: with one number temperature. You imagine what's happening is you 414 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 3: have this cube of water and the outer layers in 415 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 3: contact with a freezer, and so it starts to chill, 416 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 3: and then it chills the inner layer, and then that 417 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 3: chills the inner layer, and eventually the whole thing cools down. 418 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 3: That is the simple model of the temperature dropping, and 419 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: you're really just describing the water in terms of one number. 420 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 3: But this is tricky because temperature is a very slippery 421 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 3: topic and it's not actually well defined. Out of equilibrium, 422 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 3: equilibrium means there's no heat transfer, right Like, when the 423 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 3: water is cool and it's no longer changing, then you 424 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: can define it to be at the same temperature as 425 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 3: the rest of the freezer. But if things are changing, 426 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: then temperature is not technically defined. It's only defined for 427 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: a system in equilibrium. Out of equilibrium, things get very 428 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: complicated very quickly, and you need much more information to 429 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: actually describe the whole system. 430 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: Well, I see, we're saying, like the idea of temperature 431 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: it only works if nothing's changing. But when something's freezing 432 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: from hot water or cold water into ice, things are changing. 433 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: So if you're just going by measuring freezing as some 434 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: sort of temperature reaching a point, then you're already kind 435 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: of measuring the wrong thing. 436 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And the things you remember is that temperature 437 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 3: is a macroscopic thing. It's like our experience. It's something 438 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 3: we can measure using thermometers, and we try to connect 439 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 3: it to the microscopic to say, what's actually happening in 440 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: hot water or in cold water? What's the difference between 441 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: those two. And there's a bunch of different descriptions, a 442 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 3: bunch of different ways to try to explain and understand 443 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: our intuitive macroscopic experience of temperature in terms of the 444 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: microscopic particles. Like one very common one is the kinetic 445 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 3: theory says in hot water molecules move faster and in 446 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: cold water molecules move slower. That's rough because molecules can 447 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 3: also do other things like spin and vibrate. That's one 448 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: basic idea. But zooming out from that microscopic picture of 449 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: the little molecules and their speeds determined in the temperature 450 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 3: assumes that it's in equilibrium. There's a bunch of steps there, 451 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 3: the mathematics involved to go from like zillions and zillions 452 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: of little particles out to a single number that describes it. 453 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 3: Assumes that it's an equilibrium, and if it's not, it 454 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 3: just can't do that. 455 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: So I think what you're saying is if you're going 456 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: by freezing as when it reaches, for example, zero degree celsius, 457 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: then even if you measure it to be zero degree celsius, 458 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: maybe it's not done changing, or maybe the molecules are 459 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: still moving around. 460 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: I think I'm saying more generally that describing the whole 461 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: system as like having to move through one path to 462 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: get from hot to freezing is not an accurate way 463 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: to think about it. In reality, there's lots of different paths. 464 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: It's not like the hot water is getting on the 465 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 3: bus further from home. It's like the hot water might 466 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: be able to take a short cut. There's not just 467 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: one path. From one hundred degrees to zero doesn't necessarily 468 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 3: have to pass through fifty because temperature isn't even really 469 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: well defined for a system that's changing. It can be 470 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: one hundred, it can later be zero, and it could 471 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: have never been fifty. 472 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like you you're basically disqualifying temperature as 473 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: a gauge for this experiment, like basically don't use temperature 474 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: to measure whether something freezes or not. 475 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 3: Well, I think if for the starting point and the 476 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: ending point, you can use it like is it frozen, 477 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: yes or no? But while it's out of equilibrium. As 478 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 3: it's changing. There's a lot more complicated stuff that's going on. 479 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: Oh I see, they may trace the same history of temperature, 480 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: but actually what's going on inside the cup might be 481 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: totally different. 482 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. The hot water cooling and the cold water 483 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 3: cooling might be very very different processes. Remember that water 484 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 3: is very very complicated stuff. It has all these strange bonds, 485 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: these hydrogen bonds between the molecules, which create lots of 486 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: counterintuitive effects. Like famously, water is less dense when it's 487 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: a solid than when it's a liquid. Right, water floats 488 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 3: on top of liquid water. It's like one of the 489 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 3: only substances that will do that. You mean ice floats, right, Yes, 490 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: solid water floats on top of liquid water. Ice floats, right, 491 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 3: It's one of the only things that will do that. 492 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 3: And so it has all of these weird counter into effects. 493 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: Like what, how would that affect how fast it freezes 494 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: or not. 495 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 3: So these hydrogen bonds, the sort of weak bonds between 496 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 3: the molecules, are crucial for forming the crystal, and if 497 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 3: you heat the water up, it can like destroy all 498 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 3: the existing ones, freeing them up to rearrange themselves. So 499 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 3: hot water is like more active and more loose, which 500 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 3: allows it to like explore the possible configurations more quickly. 501 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 3: Like imagine you have a box of legos and you're 502 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 3: shaking it around. The more you shake it around, the 503 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: more likely you are for it to end up in 504 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 3: some configuration. Then if you're shaking it less because you're 505 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 3: exploring like more combinations of legos bumping against each other. 506 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 3: So hot water sort of like explores all those configurations faster, 507 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: and it might find accidentally some configuration which causes a 508 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: seed of structure, a little mini crystal, which then flourishes 509 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 3: and forms a larger crystal. 510 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: But if the whole thing is hotter wooden, those eventually break. 511 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: Like even if if you're shaking the container of lego, 512 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: they might you know, accidentally or coincidentally you know, build themselves, 513 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: but you're still shaking, you're still shaking the canisters, they 514 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't break apart. 515 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right. So we have to add one 516 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: more little thing to our model, which is that water 517 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: does like to stick to itself, right, there are hydrogen bonds, 518 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: So it's sort of like a box of sticky legos 519 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: and you're shaking them and some pieces come together and 520 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 3: like to stick together, and that's what happens with water. 521 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: Sometimes the pieces end up in exactly the right configuration 522 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: and boom, they're bound together. So even though they were hot, 523 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: now they like to stick together. That's a lower energy configuration. 524 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: So that's one way that maybe hot water can get 525 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: to being a solid faster than cold water exactly. 526 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 3: That's one idea that's out there, and people have done 527 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: a bunch of experiments to try to confirm this. They're 528 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: very artificial sounding experiments. They like take beads of glass 529 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: and shoot them with lasers and study these very artificial 530 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 3: situations where the bead of glass is like different energy 531 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 3: levels it can be in, but in generally prove the 532 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: principle that like high energy beads of glass find the 533 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 3: minimum faster. They like explore all the possible figurations more quickly, 534 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 3: and end up finding that minimum that most relaxed state 535 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 3: more quickly than a slow bead of glass. And so 536 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: some people think that that sort of proves that that's 537 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 3: possible in principle, though that doesn't mean it's what's actually happening, 538 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 3: like in water. 539 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: The way they don't think this is helping hot water 540 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: freeze faster. 541 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 3: A lot of people think, okay, that proves in principle 542 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 3: that hot things can relax faster. But you know, water 543 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: is a very complex molecule, and so like very simple 544 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: models of it don't always describe the behavior in reality. 545 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 3: I talked to one water chemist who said, you can't 546 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: believe anything that doesn't have a lot more details included 547 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 3: in the simulation. 548 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: So why don't they do these more detailed simulations. 549 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 3: They are doing these simulations, and people already do lots 550 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 3: of simulations of water for reasons We talked about like 551 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 3: how does water form, and what happens when asteroids hit 552 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: the atmosphere and contain ice in them? Is there a 553 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 3: possibility for making like basic amino acids and organic molecules. 554 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: All sorts of people are studying water for lots of reasons, 555 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 3: but it's hard because there are lots of interaction actions, 556 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 3: and so it takes like supercomputers basically to model a 557 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 3: little bit of water. 558 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: I guess maybe paint us a little bit of a picture. 559 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: When you say that sometimes hot water freezes faster, is 560 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 1: it by a lot or is it like super close 561 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: to the cold water. 562 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 3: So if you look at the plot in the original 563 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 3: paper or the one by in Pemba. Then the variation 564 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 3: in the time to start freezing is in like tens 565 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: of minutes. So if you start it like eighty C, 566 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 3: he says, it takes thirty minutes to cool his glass, 567 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 3: where if you start it like twenty C, it takes 568 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 3: one hundred minutes. So it's a very strong effect, at 569 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 3: least in this original and Pemba paper. 570 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, that's a big difference. And I guess 571 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: it's interesting how in his experiment the hot water wasn't 572 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: that much harder, Like it wasn't boiling water. Would this 573 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: happen with boiling water? 574 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: He did try a bunch of different temperatures from twenty 575 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 3: to eighty C, but he didn't try boiling water. No, 576 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 3: Boiling water is much harder to control, right, It's like 577 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: actively vaporizing, and so you can't really control the volume 578 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: as easily. 579 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: I see, all right, So it seems like that's one 580 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: idea about what could be going on. What else physicists 581 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: thought about could explain this. 582 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: There's a whole lot of little details that people are 583 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: thinking about, Like it could be the impurities cold water 584 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: tends to contain more dissolved gases in it just because 585 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 3: of the chemistry of water, and that can help actually 586 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: lower its freezing point, which means that you're not really 587 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: comparing two things that are the same. You're comparing one 588 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 3: which has a little bit more gas dissolved in it, 589 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 3: which can totally affect how long it takes to freeze. 590 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: Wait, what can you explain that again? 591 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 3: So cold water can have more dissolved gas in it, 592 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: Like if you try to make bubbly water and try 593 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 3: to get CO two dissolved into your water, it's hard 594 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 3: to get that CO two in unless the water is cold. 595 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: So cold water will absorb COEO two more than hot water, 596 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 3: and so cold water likely has more CO two in 597 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 3: it and other gases dissolved, and that will change the 598 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: freezing point of that water. 599 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: Wouldn't the hot water absorb gas? Is it cool? 600 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? 601 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Hot water will absorb gas once it cools, but 602 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: it doesn't have as much time. So if you've had 603 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 3: water that's been cold for a long time, it will 604 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: have absorbed a bunch more CO two then water that's 605 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 3: just been hot, like five minutes ago. 606 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: And so the gas in the water might help or 607 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: make it more difficult for the water to freeze. Yeah, 608 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: or this is I guess it makes it more, it 609 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: makes it harder. Why would it make it harder. 610 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 3: Well, you know, if water has to form these crystals, 611 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 3: and if there's a bunch of CO two involved, then 612 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 3: it inhibits the ability of those water molecules to like 613 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 3: find each other and to make those bonds. 614 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: There's just more stuff going on that's not water. 615 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, the same way that like adding salt to 616 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: water will change its freezing point. 617 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: So the idea is that maybe when you heat it 618 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: up the water to put into your experiment, it lost 619 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of gas. 620 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. Then there's people who argue the opposite, say 621 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 3: that actually having impurities in the water should seed crystals 622 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: that as it cools, if one of the two glasses 623 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: has more impurities in it, that those impurities become like 624 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: the nucleation side for crystal formation. Remember, crystal formation is 625 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: sort of a stochastic thing, Like you have a bunch 626 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: of molecules at different temperature and they have to sort 627 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 3: of like click together in order to start that crystal. 628 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: And we talked earlier about how maybe hot water has 629 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: an advantage because it tries more combinations per second, but 630 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 3: could also just be a difference experimentally in the impurities 631 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 3: in that water, And as you heat it up, you 632 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: might have boiled off some of those impurities, or you 633 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 3: may be concentrating those impurities as you heat it up 634 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: the water. So if the hot water has more impurities 635 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 3: in it, that could actually provide more sites for the 636 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 3: nucleation of those crystals, which would lead to it forming 637 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: a solid faster, even if it's not at the same temperature. 638 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: But I feel like maybe we're talking a lot about 639 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: things that might affect the formation of ice crystals. But 640 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: from a sort of a macro point of view, doesn't 641 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: the hot water just have more energy, and so wouldn't 642 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: it just technically take longer to get rid of that energy. 643 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 3: It's a compelling argument, and it's compelling because it's a 644 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 3: simple model when it basically says is a single number 645 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: you can use to describe the system. But imagine if 646 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: instead of just having energy, you also have energy in 647 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 3: like momentum of heat loss. What is starting from a 648 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 3: higher temperature means that you start losing energy more quickly 649 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: because there's a higher difference between the heat of the 650 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 3: water and the freezer, and that high rate of energy 651 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 3: transfer is somehow remembered. So now when you pass through 652 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 3: that fifty degree mark, you're losing heat faster than the 653 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: cold water did when it was there. It's sort of 654 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 3: like having somebody start a RaSE ten or fifteen meters 655 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 3: behind the starting line, but they get to accelerate up 656 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 3: to their top speed before they cross the starting line. 657 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: Right. That's an effect and might explain it. But it's 658 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: a bit crazy, isn't it. The idea that you can 659 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: have like temperature inertia. 660 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a bit crazy, and it totally violates 661 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: our a simple model where you can describe things just 662 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 3: in terms of like temperature and pressure and volume. And 663 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 3: that's because that only applies in equilibrium. Out of equilibrium, 664 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 3: things are crazy, and none of these approximations we used to, 665 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 3: like apple with all the crazy details of those particles, 666 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 3: are really applicable. And so there's lots of things that 667 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: can happen to complex liquids, much more than can be 668 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 3: summarized in just a few numbers. 669 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: Well, I think maybe you're not saying that the water 670 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: itself has some sort of temperature inertia, but you're saying 671 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: that maybe like the details or the complexity of how 672 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: the cup interacts with the air or around it, that 673 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: might have some effects that look like temperature inertia. 674 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 3: It could be both of those things, right. It certainly 675 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: could be dependent on the details of the experimental setup. 676 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 3: But also we just do not understand out of equilibrium 677 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: chemistry very well, So temperature inertia could be a real thing. 678 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: But it could also depend on the details of the 679 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 3: molecular structure, like maybe only happens for more complex substances, 680 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 3: maybe only happens for things with very specific kinds of 681 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: bonds that are possible. 682 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get into some of these other 683 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: ideas for what could be making hot water freeze faster 684 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: than cold water and what that means about our understanding 685 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: of water chemistry and horses. So to dig into that, 686 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: but first let's take another quick break. All right, we're 687 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: talking about Daniel raiding the freezer for ice cream and 688 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: how it seems to disappear magically, as if by magical horses. 689 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 3: That's right, when my teenager leaves ice cream out on 690 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: the counter, why does it cool faster? 691 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: M Wait, could he say then that he's just trying 692 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: to freeze it faster, because then he's taking it out, 693 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: leaving it out so it heats up, so then when 694 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: you finally put it in the freezer, it'll freeze faster. 695 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure he's just doing a chemistry experiment, right. 696 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. He's maybe just trying to raise your 697 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: boiling point. 698 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 3: But you know, it's amazing to me that this is 699 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 3: still an open territory, both theoretically and experimentally. Lots of 700 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 3: people trying to understand under what conditions you can make 701 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 3: this happen, and a bunch of other people are trying 702 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 3: to understand whether it makes sense and what it means 703 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 3: about like the nature of matter and phases and being 704 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 3: a liquid. 705 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty interesting that we don't have an answer 706 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: to this. It sounds like we need to spend a 707 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: couple more billion dollars on this question. 708 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 3: That's right, billions of dollars. Where of ice cream must 709 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 3: be purchased. 710 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: That's right, Yes, white chocolate ice cream with bananas. Okay, 711 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: So then I don't think we're quite done. You said 712 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: there might be other factors that might be going on 713 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: that might explain why the hot water freezes faster. 714 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, another theory I was reading about, and there's like 715 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 3: no shortage of theories impossible at Explanations for what might 716 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 3: be going on here has to do with convection, how 717 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 3: the water moves through the glass as it's cooling. So like, 718 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 3: as the water is cooling, it's going to definitely have 719 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 3: some currents within it, even if it started out totally stable, 720 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 3: because density decreases with increasing temperature. So the surface of 721 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 3: the water is going to be warmer than the bottom, 722 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 3: which sometimes they call it hot top. Now the water 723 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: primarily loses its heat to the surface, then water with 724 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 3: the hot top will lose heat faster than we would 725 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 3: expect based on its average temperature. When they initially warmer 726 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 3: water then cools down a little bit to the initial 727 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 3: temperature of the other cooler water, it's going to have 728 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 3: a hot top, and its rate of cooling will be 729 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 3: faster than the rate of cooling of the other water 730 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 3: at the same temperature. Anyway, it's complicated, but it has 731 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 3: to do with like how the water changes density in 732 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 3: which chunk of the water is essentially exposed to the 733 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 3: cool air. 734 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. Like maybe you have 735 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: a hot cup and a cold cup, and you're measuring 736 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: the temperature, and maybe they both have the same temperature 737 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: in the middle of the cup, but you're saying maybe 738 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: the warmer cup has a hotter surface or water on 739 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 1: the surface of it, which means it's losing heat faster, 740 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: which means it's you know, basically running faster towards freezing 741 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: than the cold water. 742 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like the hot cup is constantly exposing the 743 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 3: hotter water to the surface, which helps cool Where there's 744 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 3: the colder cup, the water is moving more slowly through it, 745 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 3: and so it's not like as efficient at exposing the 746 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 3: hottest parts of itself. The hottest parts of itself stay 747 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 3: in the center for the cooler cup rather than the 748 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 3: hot cup. And that depends on like concurrence, which depends 749 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: on like fluid dynamics, which we all know is a nightmare. 750 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: But then wouldn't the hot cup need a colder bottom? 751 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is one of the reasons why this 752 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 3: depends on like where are you measuring this in the cup? 753 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: But how did it get a colder bottom? 754 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 3: Well, the hot water is going to rise to the 755 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 3: surface because density decreases with increasing temperature. 756 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 1: Hmmm, So it might be like more dense than at 757 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 1: the bottom of the hot cup than at the bottom 758 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: of the cold cup, exactly. I think there's also a 759 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: theory about heat conduction, right, like maybe that when you 760 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: initially put the cup into the freezer, like, it melts 761 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: the things around it a little bit more, which helps 762 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: it maybe connect to the coldness in the freezer better. 763 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 3: Exactly, because heat conduction is very different from material to material. 764 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 3: Between water and air surfaces it's one number. Between water 765 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 3: and water it's another. And so as we were saying earlier, 766 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 3: like if you put the cup on a frosty shelf 767 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 3: and that melts the frost near the cup, then you 768 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 3: now have like a water connection to that shelf. It 769 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 3: can very rapidly cool it. And so all sorts of 770 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 3: these little details. You can even pull frost out of 771 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 3: the air and then melt it. You can even pull 772 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 3: water vapor out of the air and it can accumulate 773 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 3: on the sides of the cup. All these things could 774 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: have a big difference on the experimental measurements. So I 775 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 3: think first we have to like nail down what are 776 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 3: the conditions we need to make this happen. Then we 777 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 3: can understand on the theoretical side like, do we understand 778 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,959 Speaker 3: why it happens in one configuration and not another. 779 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: Meaning like, if you stick a cold cup in the 780 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: freezer and it's like my freezer, which is full of frost, 781 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: it will basically be like putting a cold cup of 782 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: water on a bank of snow, and because the water 783 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: is cold, it's not going to melt the snow, and 784 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: so it's basically going to be sitting kind of an 785 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: insulation of fluffy snow. Whereas if you put in a 786 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: hot cup, it's going to be hot enough to melt 787 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: that snow, which basically melts and then it basically it 788 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: turns into ice around it, which means that the hot 789 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: cup's going to have basically like a fast track for 790 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: the heat to escape. 791 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 3: Exactly for the same reason that like wet jeans will 792 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 3: make you colder on a ski hill than snowy dry jeans, right, 793 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 3: that water will conduct heat away from you much faster 794 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 3: than the snow will. So if you melt the surrounding area, 795 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 3: then very quickly your heat is going to bleed out. 796 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: And that's the reason you don't ski, right. 797 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 3: That's one reason I don't ski. Absolutely. There are so. 798 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 1: Many Well we can fix that one pretty quick then 799 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 1: and just use a special socks. 800 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 3: No waterproof pants are the answer to that one. 801 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, those ski and jeans. 802 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 3: But the physicist in me is more interested in, like, 803 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,720 Speaker 3: what's happening to these particles, and how do you zoom 804 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 3: out from all these tiny little particles doing their thing 805 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 3: individually to an explanation of what's happening to the water, 806 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 3: right because in the world enteract with, there's not individual 807 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 3: particles of water in their hydrogen bonds, but like the 808 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 3: water in your cup, or you want to freeze your 809 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 3: ice cream. And in the end, what we're trying to 810 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 3: do is explain that universe. And it's very very difficult 811 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 3: sometimes to connect this picture of the microscopic particles with 812 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 3: our actual experience and like things we can measure. 813 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: But I guess maybe I wonder if the point is 814 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: that if you have a very simple model, or just 815 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: assume that it's like some molecules floating in a simple 816 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 1: canister or something, then you do expect the cold water 817 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: to freeze faster. But because we live in the real 818 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: world and there's all these different things that can happen, 819 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: and the way that the water freezes and you know, 820 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 1: the heat conduction depends on surfaces and what those surfaces 821 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: are touching or which direction they're pointing. Then the phenomenon 822 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 1: of a freezing is much more complex. 823 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right. We're trying to describe a complicated 824 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 3: emergent behavior, and we usually start with a simple model 825 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 3: because we hope that works. And often this simple model, 826 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 3: which just has like temperature, pressure, volume, does work. It 827 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 3: works amazingly well, it's incredible. But we can also learn 828 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 3: from when it fails. And when it fails this tells 829 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 3: us that other details that we've ignored in our model 830 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 3: are now important. They may even be crucial. They may 831 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 3: even determine the total outcome. And that's an opportunity to 832 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 3: learn something, to go back and say, Okay, well, what 833 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 3: is it that we didn't include in our description that 834 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 3: give us that simple story, and how do we need 835 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 3: to make it more complicated to describe what we're actually doing. 836 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 3: Science is all about that, right, Start simple, and then refine, refine, refine. 837 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: And I feel like this question is interesting, as you 838 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: said before, because it taps into the chemistry of water 839 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: and the dynamics of water, which might be related to 840 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: how life started right here on Earth. And maybe in 841 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: other planets. Like, if we understand more how what's happening 842 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: at the molecular level with water, maybe we can understand 843 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: how likely or less likely it is or necessary it 844 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: is for water to be there for the molecules that 845 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: make life deform. 846 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. One theory about how organic molecules we're created on 847 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 3: Earth involves like asteroids slamming into the Earth, and if 848 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 3: those asteroids have ice in them, then those very high temperature, 849 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 3: high pressure impacts could have created conditions needed for that 850 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 3: kind of chemistry to happen. So understanding exactly how water 851 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 3: works and all the weird forms that it can take 852 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 3: is crucial for understanding how life could have started here 853 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 3: and also what the conditions might be like on exoplanets. 854 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,439 Speaker 3: We're like right on this exciting cusp of being able 855 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 3: to detect water vapor in the atmospheres of planets around 856 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 3: other Solar systems, and understanding the chemistry of that gives 857 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 3: us a deeper and richer picture of what it's like 858 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 3: on those surfaces and what it might be like to 859 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 3: be a squigly blob crawling around and waiting for your 860 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 3: ice cream to cool. 861 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, or not even maybe that far like even in 862 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: our solar system. The moon, one of the moons of 863 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: Jupiter Europa, Right, it's made out of ice on top, 864 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: and it's got an ocean of liquid water inside. So 865 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: we kind of want to know, is it possible for 866 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: life to exist there? 867 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm that close to home. 868 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 3: There's exciting water chemistry happening in our solar system. It's 869 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 3: crazy to imagine this, like frozen crust of ice under 870 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,760 Speaker 3: which there's like a mile deep ocean of super cold 871 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 3: water in which maybe life has started. 872 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: We just don't know, Yeah, because we know there's life underneath, 873 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: like the ice shelf in Antarctica. But maybe, like you 874 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: need some special conditions for life to start. Maybe they 875 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: can start in somewhere like EUROPEA. 876 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if you take two moons of Jupiter 877 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 3: and one of them is hotter and one of them 878 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 3: is colder, which one will freeze first? 879 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you need a pretty big freezer for that bo 880 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: like maybe space. 881 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 3: Now, imagining a moon size chunk of ice cream. 882 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: There you go, a giant scoop the ship the size 883 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: of the moons. That's no moon, that's a giant ball 884 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: of ice cream. 885 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 3: That'll be the death of me. 886 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: I can hear the cries of a thousand white suns 887 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: or a billion white sons crying out fur their ice. 888 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,760 Speaker 3: Cream as our cholesterol rises and temperature drops. 889 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: That's right, and our mass increases as well. Okay, So 890 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,439 Speaker 1: what would you do, Daniel if your daughter asks you 891 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: what would happen if you stuck a cold horse and 892 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: a warmer horse in a freezer? Would you be concerned? 893 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 1: Would you be like, oh, interesting questions? Sit down, let 894 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: me explain this to you. 895 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 3: I try to summarize this entire podcast in thirty seconds, 896 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 3: and I would fail. It's hard, man, it's hard. 897 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,760 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it kind of has an impact on horses 898 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,959 Speaker 1: and cold laces, right. 899 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely No. I tell her that we don't know 900 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 3: the answer to that, that it's too complicated, and maybe 901 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,439 Speaker 3: she should grow up and figure it out. 902 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: Mmm, become a horse chemist. 903 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 3: Better than a horse particle collider. 904 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be a nea career you want to pursue. 905 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 3: That's not science, that's just horsing around. 906 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, don't look at gift horse and the particle collider. 907 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 3: I don't know what that means, but I laughed anyway. 908 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: I don't know either, it's horse nonsense, all right. Well, 909 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: another reminder that there are still mysteries in the universe, 910 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: and some of them that you could even do at 911 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: home and experiment and see for yourself how weird things 912 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: can happen and how complicated even something as simple as 913 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: making ice can be. 914 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 3: Teenagers out there, your questions to your science teacher could 915 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:27,280 Speaker 3: kick off a multi decade exploration and reveal deeper understandings 916 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 3: of the natures of liquids and solids. So keep thinking, 917 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 3: keep asking questions, and keep eating ice cream. 918 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed that.
