And the asteroid is pretty high up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahesar Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yeah some of the descriptions are a little off. Cool slush say they spit out crushed ice but it's just chilled pwater, no melting involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Fact: Did you know if you can take a bath in boiling water on the top of Mount Everest and NOT get burned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid not. Water boils at 71'C atop Everest; immersion in 60'C water is enough to give you a full-thickness burn in under a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 You can get water to boil in less than a minute on Everest, but to actually cook anything in it takes well over half an hour on the short end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to watch it boil the times are roughly equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool slush say they spit out crushed ice but it's just chilled pwater, no melting involved. Technically, slush is a compound of solid and liquid water (an eutectic system), thus is considered to be in both states at the same time, with the solid/liquid ratio fluctuating a bit but not going toward a unique phase. The description is actually quite accurate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
