Quick question about sponges and vacuums

AI Thread Summary
A saturated sponge exposed to vacuum sealing would likely have some water forced out as the volume decreases during the process. However, the extent of water evacuation may vary based on the air evacuation points used. The discussion also requests videos demonstrating typical food sealing mechanisms to illustrate the process. Overall, vacuum sealing could effectively reduce the sponge's volume while expelling some moisture. The interaction between the sponge's material and the vacuum process is key to understanding the outcome.

A bit of an odd question, but what would happen if a saturated sponge was exposed to a process similar to vacuum sealing for shipping goods? Would the water be forced out as the volume of the sponge decreased?

Seems like it would, although depending on the air evacuation point/area, the water evacuation may not be complete.

Can you post a couple videos of typical food sealing mechanisms?
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
