    Is gravity to spacetime what surface tension is to bubbles ?

    just something i been thinking about lately in relation to how causal dynamic triangulations connect to form spacetime When one bubble meets with another, the resulting union is always one of total sharing and compromise (Human beings could learn a lot from bubbles.) Since bubbles always try...

    A question about champagne bubbles

    This is an interesting questions that occurs when we have a glass of champagne (or cava). why all the bubbles that are born in one point, are lineed when they go to surface? An the other hand: why are they at constant velocity, and not with acceleration? Chin chin! R. Aparicio.

    About Eternal Inflation and Spacetime Bubbles

    I have read a lot about eternal inflation and as I understand it Guth and others are now arguing that once inflation has started, it is an ongoing process. However, my question is, once inflation had finished in one Universe and inflation had started somewhere else, wouldn't the expanding...

    How Can You Make Clear Ice in a Home Freezer?

    Is it possible to make very clear ice in a home freezer? Tap water ice is often cloudy white, which I think comes from minerals in tap water. Making ice with distilled water is a pretty conclusive experiment, I think. However, the ice cubes I make with distilled water still have many small...

    Fluid Dynamics: Air Rising from Water Questions

    I'm curious about some fluid dynamics stuff, and my first series of questions I have are to do with how air rises out of water... Having done some scuba diving, I know that divers use bladders to achieve neutral bouyancy and positive bouyancy so as to hover or rise through the water. Now...

    Making reflector mirrors from spinning bubbles.

    I heard about a technique where mercury or some other liquid is spun in a dish until it assumes a parabolic shape. Would this work in space? Could a flat membrane of liquid metal do just as well? It could be liquified by an electric current and start out flat like soapy water in a bubble wand...
