    It boils every time, only impatience shrinks  perception. I’m going to boil 2 pots simultaneously one I am impatient to boil and the other I am going to not care if it boils. Let the observations / non observations games begin.

    I love how the concept of time is always full of debates and even the most basic science is always fascinating! Today actually I was waiting for a rice to be cooked on a electric stove and started puting drops of water on one of the stoves plates, and the water bubbles scaped from the heat! that's the Leiden-Frost effect I love that and I appreciate so much this video! thank you!

    get the burner hot ahead of time and put hot water in the pot, the first bubbles appear after less than a minute, you can watch a boiling pot, i know, i have done it<br>also, use a little salt

    As a person who owns an induction cooker with a power display and knows physics, I can predict boiling with an accuracy of up to a minute (the closer to boiling, the greater the loss of thermal energy and the less accurate the calculations). Well, if we go to extremes, it was worth mentioning superheated and supercooled water, as well as the fact that the boiling point depends on pressure ... Well, sublimation with deposition (aka desublimation) was also worth mentioning. Well, speaking of extremes, it would be worth mentioning that many do not realize what temperature is, for example, that it is possible to achieve a temperature below absolute zero (well, how is this absolute zero then).

    Glancing of a pot, does not count as a measurement in a physical sense lol

    My observation of your nails does not help my theory.

    &quot;Science is based on laws and limits&quot;. That is Fascist. Do we live in a Fascist Universe?
