Fun fact: this is how they separate oxygen, nitrogen, and argon from air. You cool it to a liquid, and the. Slowly heat it back up. Nitrogen boils off first around 77K, then Argon around 83K, then Oxygen at 90K.

I find this so cool, even though it's like "oh yeah. Just like distilling alcohol or petroleum"... But... Like super cold...

Right?! How cool is it that we can literally chill the atmospheric soup that we all stroll around in, then separate that into its components.

We can also prove its existence scientifically. We can detect by testing for it. We can chemically react it with other elements. There are lots of things we can't see with our eyes but we know exist through scientific study.

So far no test for god has been developed. We just have an old book that claims bats are birds to go by.

"I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to 'God' are all answered at about the same 50% rate."

I almost buy the philosophical argument that there must be a first mover, but I can't understand the incredible leap of faith people make to have such specific beliefs. Like how did we get to the point of "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" and prosperity doctrine wackiness?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Honestly, the first mover argument just looks like "turtles all the way down" to me. It explains nothing, because it doesn't even care to explain this first mover. It's just one more turtle.

Hence, if the correct answer is "we don't know", we don't need the leap of faith to a first mover we know nothing about, we can just say "we don't know" and they don't either.

You don't actually have to chill oxygen to see it, you can also just blow bubbles underwater.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Aren't you just seeing the lack of water rather than actually seeing the oxygen?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (4 children)

And what is inside the bubbles instead of water?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

nitrogen – 78%

oxygen – 17%

carbon dioxide – 4%

other gases - 1%

Liquid oxygen is way too pretty to be as dangerous as it is

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

ELI5, Why is it dangerous?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

On top of being dangerously cold, it's oxygen, so it helps stuff burn easily. I might have overestimated the dangers of it, I thought I'd read that it can ignite some flammable materials on contact but I was apparently wrong. It seems like it just makes fires a lot easier to start (on account of there being a lot of oxygen in liquid oxygen)

someone find God and freeze him at -218°C then finally some mysteries of the universe can be settled.

The funny thing is that we actually see oxygen, but as a gas it's so dispersed that it's almost fully transparent.

In theory, if you could press enough air into a tight enough volume (like, say, 1 cubic meter of air into a 1 cubic centimeter), you'd get a similar result.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Okay, but if you press god into a tight enough volume (like, say 1 cubic metre ......

!lol kidding!<

Could God make a burrito so hot that he couldn't eat it?

Could God make himself so visible that he couldn't be denied to exist?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Could God drop a fart so rank even He can't stand the smell?

high concentrations of it makes nearly anything in its presence catch fire.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The Bible attributes the same property to the abrahamic god. Maybe someone confused oxygen with a deity?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I saw an article a while back talking about how Yahweh was originally a volcano god. A lot of interesting comparisons- like pillar of fire, lightning, dark clouds…

Maybe we can see God if we make him cold enough... 🤔

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I don't know man, he gives little kids cancer, if that isn't cold I don't know what is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

you can see god if you make yourself cold enough..

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I imagine Rick, pranking Morty by telling him he froze God to -218.8 C and thus accidentally killed him.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

It's a small jar of the sky.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

God is all around you, he created everything! So you can witness him by his works!

-- some religious, science denying person... Probably.
