Wonders of Solar System - Prof Brian Cox explores the Triple Point of Water

[Brigitte727]

Come on, he's drawing a water phase diagram on a dusty rear windscreen on top of a volcano in Hawaii!

[LordSapiens]

Oops, the phase diagram was wrong, that's why the liquid zone was a bit confusing. the line that divides the gas from the others should be going up increasingly (and not up first and almost horizontal later), and stop at the critical point. Not sure how many people will understand this comment, but anyway :P

[Brigitte727]

That's why in northwestern regions of Argentina, Chile and Peru people use pressure cookers, some bacteria won't die at such temperatures and the only way to kill them is to raise the boiling temperature by other means, such as raising the pressure using special cooking pots!

I'm glad Brian does some TV work. Maybe he can make himself a second pillar aside from his academic one, as a presenter of the sciences.

[Happy0]

liked the comment about the tea xD

[dominictemple]

That's frakking awesome, the fact that we know that you can't have a good cup of tea or coffee on the surface of mars is incredible.

I'm really looking forward to the show.
