Cosmic chocolate (3/9)

[jhamien920]

hahah.. Wow. This is superb!

[kendra5480]

OMG .. when i saw the chocolate i want to have one .. =)

[AambeiXXL]

this is bullshit..

[DirectorPejapes]

i clicked because i was hoping for some weird chocolate

[AlinaRadical]

its not 29 thousand 400 million.

its 29 billion 400 million.

[1975BIKER]

wow ive measured the speed of light..errr so what:O)

[jeroengr0]

chocolate!

[amesguy515]

29 billion

[PiDude111]

This is awesome! Great experiment!

[AnubusStar]

The simplest things that you'd never expect to teach you something... That's pretty cool.

[CapnDangerbeard]

This chocolate just blew Einsteins ghost up.

[fuman5]

wtf, seriously.

[Digitalstorm007]

How does this measure the speed of light? You simply took a number. 6cm and doubled it, then multiplied it by the frequency of the microwave. Could i take a bar of chocolate, stick toothpicks anywhere in it, measure the distance and multiply that by 2. Then multiply that number by the frequency? What does the chocolate have anything to do with this measurement?

[dangerouswhenbored]

The melted places in the chocolate are evidence of standing waves in the microwave oven. The microwaves being produced by the oven form a pattern that has specific high and low points based on the wavelength of the microwave radiation.

Using the wavelength and the frequency, one can calculate the speed of an electromagnetic wave (like light or microwaves)... v = (lambda)(f).

[XOCOLATLMEX]

Does this mean the experiment would not work in a conventional oven? ;P Just kidding, just kidding. Excelente explicación.

[aleric111]

they measured the points at which the chocolate was not solid, the points where it was melted. they didnt choose a random number. apparently you werent listening you stupid retard

[CrashPlague]

"digitalstorm", go back to school.

:)

[vmelkon]

@Digitalstorm007 asshole

[Ainulph]

@rufmemory

6cm is the half the distance of the wavelength.

I really want to tell people that I have the ability to measure the speed of light easily. They would be so confused as I get toothpicks and chocolate.

Oh and I'm assuming this would also would work a block of cheese.

[rufmemory]

and why 6 cm ?

[nosferatusbutt]

thanks for the video, now i feel like i a retard. Smart persons suck!!! lol

[seanki98]

I saw the man looking for a melted point. I saw that there was a melted point further than the other tooth pick. If he chose that point, u would get a different result!

[iamqqqqqqq]

Sweet beats

[home363]

some people have put alot of effort into these vids stop givin bad comments

[nachocarancho]

this is a whole shit

[YouthGoneWildSC]

whats the point i couldve sticked the toothpicks anywhere

[Iambenjoz]

You know something I would rather eat that then shit about trying to find out the speed of light when they have already told you. >.> I bet it doesn't work anyway. @_@

[connor8sharpe]

that is a cracking experiment

[ourben]

What are you talking about?

[Traffic43]

So what if my microwave power is 1mhz, will it still come out as the speed of light? I think not.

[ourben]

At 1mhz the wavelength and thus the distance between melt points is longer; you still get a figure approximately the speed of light.

Dear oh dear...

[aaronjoy2]

plus she just told us the speed of light

[aaronjoy2]

why would i waste a chocolate bar that big to find out the speed of light

[trombonefan2013]

lol i was thinking the same thing plus it dosen't work, if your microwave is 1mhz than it doesn't give you the speed of light

[home363]

but theres no such thing as a 1mhz microwave

[iNfx1]

nothing would melt in a 1mhz microwave, therefor you cant measure it. someones an idiot ;)

[trombonefan2013]

there is no such thing as a 1mhz microwave it was a joke someones an idiot ;)

[Ainulph]

No, any Mhz microwave theoretical or not will give you the approximately the speed of light. I'm guessing that you need a bigger block of chocolate however :)

[ryankhan11]

hmmm... interesting.... [goes out for some chocolate]

[nigelbyrne100]

hahahaha . funny

[gameboyjk]

lol i was about to post the same thing

[PC336]

Couldn't care less

[defaye]

enthralling

[peachy901]

id love to know the total science behind this

[kaaap0w]

Exactly.

[jellybabiez22]

this is a bit weird. don't reli get it. don't reli care. :0 :)

[dashwerks]

science is amazing
