      @goosehd 🤣beer and cider man. I don’t understand the biology but I can feel the impact when I know it must still be in my stomach.

      Think it, be it.

        @mclaincausey at temps like that, i cant help but wonder why anything that hot wouldn't just laserbeam itself into the center of the nearest/strongest source of gravity. How is something like that kept from burning through the floor like Alien drool?

          @WhiskeySandwich if you mean in the particle accelerator I think that the heat is so small and brief that it can’t do anything like that.

          The quark-gluon plasma formed is said to be superfluid, which means it has no viscosity. Imagine stirring something and it just keeps stirring forever. This is what they think constituted the early universe after the Big Bang before it cooled into the matter we know and love. There is some theorizing that certain stars (neutron and quark stars) have this state of matter in them.

          One more mind blower. There is a pulsar that is spinning 716 times per second. That means its equator is moving at 25% of the speed of light. It is 50 trillion times the density of lead with 1 trillion times the magnetism of the sun. 🤯

          Think it, be it.

            @mclaincausey either of those things, or anything hotter than the sun. If they're sustaining temps for near a minute or as it gets longer.... it seems like any kind of force like gravity would be attempting to overcome whatever is containing the heat source.... These things are just hard to wrap my head around. lol It's hard to imagine something that massive spinning that fast.

              Gravity isn’t an actual force; it’s just the topology of space time. I think the collisions happen in man made vacuums but these are not total vacuums, so the minuscule weight of the colliding particles is probably not super incline to fall down the earth’s gravity well.

              Not a particle or any other kind of physicist so this is just conjecture.

              Think it, be it.

                        I’m sure we don’t have a thread about duck facts so maybe it just needs to be repurposed.

                          I merged "Interesting as Duck" and this thread. We don't need both. And if @EdH wants to change the thread title, I'm happy to do that, but it's not my place to change his title on my own.

                                      @Matt I don't know if you've ever come across this phenomenon on reddit, but sometimes the thread title has NOTHING to do with the topic being discussed. r/trees, for example is all about cannabis, and r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees. Maybe there's some there there. An unhinged thread nothing to do with ducks?

                                            A US company's prototype jet has broken the sound barrier in a demonstration it hopes will pave the way for a successor to the Concorde. Boom Supersonic's XB-1 is the first civilian aircraft to achieve the feat since the British-French supersonic airliner, which was retired in 2003. The XB-1 broke the sound barrier for the first time over the Mojave Desert in California. During the test flight, it reached an altitude of 35,000ft before accelerating to Mach 1.1 (844mph) - 10% faster than the speed of sound.
                                            Denver-based Boom Supersonic hopes the XB-1 will pave the way for the development of Overture, the company's supersonic commercial airliner. The XB-1 is around 63ft-long, around one-third the size of Overture, which is intended to seat between 64 and 80 passengers and travel at speeds of up to Mach 1.7. Such speeds would be around twice as fast as subsonic passenger jets, but still slightly slower than the Concorde.
                                            The Overture has already been pre-ordered 130 times by companies such as American Airlines, United Airlines, and Japan Airlines.

                                            So, still trying (and failing) to catch up with Concorde, for which “France and the United Kingdom signed a treaty establishing the development project on 29 November 1962”. 🤯🤯🤯
