That just makes sense.

 

Called in "sick" today. Probably could have in, but was very tired after this weekend.

 

Well since you are just browsing for more exhausts. I think it's time for Physics with Samir.

 

Everyone was wiped out Sat night lol.

 

Working on it.

Yeah. We went to go get dinner and we were just staring at each other. No saying a word. At one point, we both were dozing off. lol

Getting too old for this ****. lol

 

Bdawg had a bottle of pedialyte when he got home Sat night lol. Me and the lady ended up going out... Were out for less than 2 hours and had 1 beer. Came home and passed out lol

 

Drawing blanks. Someone throw me a topic.

 

Plasma

Only because ive been looking at these for the last 20 mins lol

 

 

id rather get hit by the sign than the car

 

Phases of material are descriptions of the of a material’s location in pressure-temperature space (think of a graph of pressure-temperature) wherein all physical properties are the same for that given region. Generally, as temperature increases, materials transition in phase from solid to liquid to gas as more and more energy, in this case thermal energy, is added. If you remove the energy from a system or material, the individual “particles” slow down until they eventual stop moving. At an atomic scale, the individual atoms or molecules align and bind to create a solid. As more energy is introduced to the system, what was previously a nice orderly lattice becomes fluidic as the particles start moving around. Our material is now a liquid. As even more energy in introduced, the individual particles move around faster and faster. The material still exhibits many of the same characteristics as the liquid only more energetic. Our material is now in a gaseous state. If we add even more energy, we start to then strip electrons off the atoms that compose our material and we now have a “soup” of highly-energetic charged particles (positively- AND negatively-charged particles since our atoms have deconstructed into nucleons and electrons)—plasma.
Previously, the particles in our material were net-neutral (equal part positive and negative charges) and were largely unaffected by electromagnetic forces. Now, since all we have are charged particles, plasma is very susceptible to electromagnetic forces. This is very apparent in the upper layers of the Sun where see large bands of plasma looping up and around as they get caught up in electromagnetic field lines.
While very uncommon on Earth, close to all (approximately 99%) of the observable universe is plasma. This is due to the fact that just about all of what we see in the universe beyond our planet is light from stars which is emitted from the plasma in the upper layers of our stellar neighbors.

 

 

So... Plasma is the next state past gas?

What kinda of plasma have humans been able to generate?

 

Is there a 'baseline' of thermal energy that needs to be input in order to reach a 'Plasmatic' state, or does that depend on the object that is being manipulated?

 

Good question. I assumed that it would vary just like freezing points and boiling points do for various things. But if the plasma point is the same across the board... HMMMM...
