Hottest water on Earth discovered

[unknowmOOsewasfound]

Holy fuck!

[ChemicalMikeUK]

its a culinary revolution!! ; COOKED SUSHI!

[Cortanakya]

that woman sounds like she has downs syndrome.

[rederea]

Global Warming! I'm calling it!

[eviltube1111]

why can't they get a narrator without a lisp

[RedRashBallz]

0:31-0:32 "..black smokers..." racist much lol

[TheVJackV]

@RedRashBallz LOL

[Ghost4317]

oh my god! china! what did you do know!

[headshooter44]

wow so you could easily fry pomfrites in water^^ it is more than 2 times hotter than oil for fryin food^^

[Deke101]

@headshooter44 Yeah, but when you steam dough, you don't get donuts, you get dumplings. :(

[firando1]

that water should be evaporated right about now

[KAILHAisAbitch]

omg... humans is not the only 1... that can make factoris!!! fish also!!!

[baalisgod666]

I've been in a few hot vents before, though no black smokers. heh heh.

[pidos847]

Thats geothermal energy and theres enough of it through out the world to supply all our energy needs! If we invested more time and money into harnessing this energy we would all be better off but the bitch ass oil companies don't want that!

[phoenix1421]

@pidos847 there is enough of it...many miles down, which makes it financially infeasible, as compared to cheap oil. Yes, there are places that you can get cheap geothermal energy (Iceland, the only place the mid-Atlantic ridge is above sea level) but for the most part it is just far too expensive to set up to be worth it at this point.

[pidos847]

@phoenix1421 I bet you got that info from BP! 

[phoenix1421]

@pidos847 I wish! Unfortunately it is the truth. Although there is technology being developed and tested right now that can take advantage of much cooler water (aka it can use water below boiling for energy, instead of the standard steam piston approach). I wish geothermal were easily available, it would mean cheap energy for everyone until the end of time, but we just aren't there yet.

[fanwuren]

fascinating

[AminelikesStephanie]

that's 765.6 degrees

[hyrael2]

@AminelikesStephanie No, that is 407

Farenheit suck.

[xXZechiXx]

woah

[theafrodude22]

if only we could tap that energy and power the world!

[ragonamuffin]

SSSSHHHH!!! Don't tell the government that or we might start a war with the ocean!

[hachiman]

That would be great for the Japanese Macaques (Red faced Monkeys) :p.

[wwwThePoWlde]

bring fishes to that place for cooking them :D

[zeppelinrulez22]

interesting

[clnmyjts]

That is one hot Mama...LOL

[Unclescatpants]

awesome how the narrator of new scientist sounds retarded

[Frances3654]

your an idiot

[greg1445441]

why, I asked what are they going to do with their discovery, look at it? Shut the fuck up

[greg1445441]

how am am I mental if I managed to spell all the words correctly?

[greg1445441]

WTF?

[greg1445441]

Im a tard? quote "cukoo cukoo". I actually have a life instead of insulting people on youtube like you called me idiot for posting a simple question

[greg1445441]

dude shut the fuck up no one like you

[Frances3654]

theirs no point in arguing with idiots, good day sir

[greg1445441]

your the one calling me a mentalist so.....pce and I hope you dont reply to this comment cause your pissing the fuck out of me

[bluebeard2]

Man her voice! Argh!

[JamesEvans9]

her voice looks purple

[cmba101]

Synesthesia?

[greg1445441]

what are they planning on usong the water for?

[Frances3654]

your an idiot

[Unclescatpants]

it's actually YOU'RE an idiot, as in you are. your is when we say, "here is your brain on drugs." and obviously yours is rubbish

[NSantoro704]

at 1:02 you can see a smoked fish.

[Kastralis]

where?

[minecraftxxxxxxlove]

@NSantoro704 0:58

[miekkapure5]

@NSantoro704 where?

[FreakedKiddi]

@NSantoro704 its a shrimp lol.



[Diamonddavej]

They found green sulfur bacterial that uses the faint infrared light from a Black Smoker live via photosynthesis.

"An obligately photosynthetic bacterial anaerobe from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent"

This was after they said it was impossible, "too dim". Maybe photosynthesis started in Black Smokers.

[veinybrainy]

better then electrolux ill tell u that

[WarzSchoolchild]

Now then??? This reminds me of the great pictures taken by Pentagon Chief Press Spokeman Commander Alvin Flex Plexico. Check out his Album, and compare. The index number of the picture in question, "0835321" great photograph!

[mluker96]

mmm just take some eggs down there and you can have them boiled in less then a second. yum

[akpokemon]

Like, cool! :D

[turbotone64]

She said wather alot didn't she?

And what's all this talk about SOUP?

[Quidgo]

is it possible to use the heat generated by those things for energy?

[CozmoNz]

For those things I doubt it... 3km straight down is a long way to go for energy....

would be more logical to use the likes of lava and other "heat" sources for energy, but again, nature is far beyond our control :P

[glymusic]

Yes it can be used, look for geothermal drilling. Current drilling technology can reach a depth of 10km, which substantially expands the potential for exploitation: at a depth of 6.5km

[Kasarii]

Iceland is fueled that way, but then again, their volcanoes are a lot closer to the surface.

[grgfraiser]

i would guess you could heat water to steam to power generators, but at 3km down in water the steam would condinsate back to water before you could use

[Ruffbasturd]

well believe it or not, they are currently in the process of devising a way to harness geo-thermal energy, its not from water vents, they basically want to dig throught the earths crust and use the "hot rocks" to create energy, however.. yes this is an easy way to get energy but, imo, it probably isnt such a fantabulouse idea to be collecting heat/energy from the earth that way.. if all the wind on earth is used to turn windmills, what is left to blow the leaves around?

[FilmsSF]

That's some hot wather!

[unknownsexyboy00]

reminds me of sperm

[vforventure411]

this bitch is ANNOING! KILL HER!

[daipalkri]

super....super....super soup meets super crital thats meets super critacal water temepure......that only one thing....super soup water!!!!!!!

[fucksatanism]

I vaporize @ 335C.

[jonandronelle9]

3km down and the pressure is approx 2000psi. Diff story though trying to harness this as energy because you couldn't 'capture' it.

[OJReadMore]

Anyone know the correct psi at 3km below the surface. 6-7k psi?

[AnArrogantFrog]

were tey making soup because that would burn it to the pan

those oil workers are cheap

[CommanderUTube]

Free energy if we know how to exploit this. Fancy an onsen?

[GodsHumor]

That's 764.6 Fahrenheit!!!

[The12GAme]

my pee is hotter than that

[GavnatronTarasattva]

yeah, but your pee isn't water, strictly speaking.

[stiflerFtw]

they cooked the water from underneath, thats so obvious

[a1jetsauce]

I've discovered hotter.

[Igetpaiddaily]

It's always good to see good videos thankx for sharing...

[J4N15]

That's 764.6 degrees fahrenheit!

[alecdddd]

thank you for posting that i was just going to ask ^ - ^

[tonkaaaaa]

And how will this help humanity make better PORN?

[tommasfoolery]

i HATE the way this chick talks.

[motionOuniverse]

ooooh hot water! i love it, soooo hot! mmm.. sexy!

[SexyShae16]

damn!!

i wish i could live for mllions of years to see how technology will evolve!

[GeorgeHH21]

you better start now =0

[SexyShae16]

l0l

[turxxx]

I love NewScientist videos: short and informative. Common YouTube videos of people broadcasting themselves are starting to get on my nerves.

[dudeandy12]

technology is getter cooler by the day =) i just really wanna know what it will be like in a thousand years :/ hmm.. thats if humans are still hangng around.... maybe we will be all stored into a super computer and sent through email to another far off universe wear, in that worl, elephants will rule and they listen to there elepods and play on there trunkstations..... that would be cool

[boxa888]

see if we can find easy places to stick pipes into the ground the world energy problem will be solved instantly, russia digged on regular ground and found that not going to deep, you could make hydrothermal power plants and make electricity! also nikola tesla made the first geothermal vent power plant plans 100 years ago,put his wireless transmitter on a place like that and the whole world will have infinite energy anywhere !

[TejpalTV]

after a while, the heat will be all used.

[boxa888]

not really. there is continuous pressure and nuclear reactions going on, it will last aleast a few million years, enough time to develope a better world and even more hightec energy source.

[rumute]

bear in mind that the sun will have reached such a size that in 900mil years humans will no longer be able to survive

[Zantaer]

In 900mil years at the rate technology is rising now, we will probably be getting our energy from multiple stars and be living on various planets. We will easily be michio kaku's level 3 civilization by that time.

[rumute]

hahah.. yeah maybe, i'm a bit of a pessimist i see the worst in everything :P

[joescho93]

this is just one of the many effects of global warming.

We're all going to burn

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN!

jus kidding haah

[tehcexymeowmix]

Would that burn off my skin?

[1337sirshamus]

most definately

[joescho93]

erm, it would hurt, quite a lot :|

[ZB90]

Make some Tea with that

[Hez0]

Such an annoying voice over.

[SobaniForce]

such a stupid comment.

[trauts01]

sweet report.

[shannonp63]

how cAn that be real because at 100 degrees water just starts to evaporate and turn into gas ???

[bernusdellus]

Pressure. The boiling point of water [or any liquid] is affected by the ambient pressure. Mountain climbers complain that they can't make hot tea or soup. Why? The air pressure is lower so the point at which their kettle boils is lower. In a vacuum, water boils as soon as it gets above the freezing point. At 300bar [4200psi] the boiling point of water is extremely high. Cool, eh?

[hamsterpoop]

search for "triple point" or "critical point" in wikipedia

[swyft187]

It's Gaia's urethra.

[DrakeMagnum]

Nature, it wants us dead.

Nice post NSVid!

[Jmcenanly]

Not really. There are bacteria living near that vent which provided food for the other life nearby.

[hamsterpoop]

but not at 400C... the most hardcore extremophiles can only take temps around 120C...

[jefboyardee]

I blame Bush.

[ChipsDubbo]

shed people would stop complaining about the narrator voice in every single video that newscientist posts on YT.

if you don't like it, don't watch it, or at least don't leave a comment.

[itcouldb]

this narrator is so noob.

[Reggis420]

Or leave your opinion, and maybe Newscientist will make changes based on their demographics response.

[tlb31m]

the narrator sounds like a german robot

[ErisFae]

What's with the narrator? I thought I was listening to a school report.

[teemuruskeepaa]

That's because you probably where. This is some kind of a university project for media students. Not a science magazine. But because this is a Youtube channel, you're free to unsubscribe, if you don't the French accent.

[bluepastel]

Kill the Narrator ...God!

[macho212]

get a better narrator

[tictacjuggalo]

YEA I KNOW HAHA

[faolitaruna]

I like the way narrator speaks and really don't know what do You expect.

[sethcat99]

o i was like water on earth thats fucking amazing!

[mrjubjub521]

awesome lol

[Izwat]

407celsius and yet theres life on it they feeds of the volcanic minerals that pours out of it

[volumelow]

Wow! Thats so awesome!

[JJTHESLAYJ]

also to explain what the critical point is: when water boils it expands massively, becoming gas, pressure counteracts this expansion, compressing the gas. at the critical point, the compression is so high that the volume of the same amount of water in gasform equals the volume in liquid form. So the same molecules are in the same room as in a liquid, but behave with the same properties as in gasform (they have no hydrogen bonds for example anymore).

[MRSketch09]

I'm somewhat interested in knowing what the benefit of know this is..

Good video, its informative... But I am just curious how this helps anything?

[timen1986]

it doesn't, do you only wan't to know things that will help you?? When i take a look at your "favourites" i see a whole lot of bullshit :D

[BF2mods]

lol

[faolitaruna]

Just look at your channel.

[Ashybasha]

The pressures at these depths keep the super heated water in a liquid state.

[singlespies]

i'm feeling a little supercritical myself today, maybe my gas and liquid states will merge

[uhdudewaitwhat]

"planet x" is coming!

[timen1986]

haha

21-12-2012 :D

[drakenbakken]

oh so cool, i was wondering if something like this actually happend in nature

[UncleKennybobs]

I wore a hat.

[teemuruskeepaa]

1.15 It is not the first time supercritical fluids are found in nature, and not the first time they are found on the bottom of Atlantic. Jacques Cousteau's films have a clip from the early 1980'ties of the pylons of black smoke

[CurryCurry]

yeah black smokers have benn discovered long ago, i just think this was the first time they actually measured it and found that the water was supercritical.

[alex3914]

EMMMM Juicy!!! POWER. POWER. POWER. More Power.

[Richardgwm]

I need some of that. My hot water tank is broken.

[CurryCurry]

interesting, didnt know that until now the supercritical state wasnt seen in nature.

What pressure does it actually take for the supercritical state? as 300atm in this video seem to be enough

[tardesnegras]

what do they mean by super critical?

[teemuruskeepaa]

It means that the water is above the boiling point, but it doesn't boil. It is critical, in that it should change its phase from liquid to gas.

[tardesnegras]

so you mean it is so hott it goes directly from being a liquid to gas? but how would it do that underwater? wouldnt there be gas bubbles?

[jaejinyu]

it does not go directly from liquid to gas. supercritical fluid means its both gas and liquid at the same time.

[tardesnegras]

that is pretty weird.

[JaMoond]

nope, he's saying that it does NOT go directly from liquid to gas. You are used to the idea that water boils at 100C at normal atmospheric condition. But boiling point is affected by the atmospheric pressure (pressure directly on top of surface). In fact, if you boil water at high altitude, the temperature of water would be much lower than at the sea level.

[tardesnegras]

forgive me if i sound stupid but what would atmosphereic pressure have to do with these sea vents? what about the water pressure?

[teemuruskeepaa]

tardesnegras, I don't know if you just fucking with us, but this was explained right after the word supercritical in the video. The water is above boiling point (100 celsius), but it doesn't boil. Critical means boiling point.

[CurryCurry]

also to explain what the critical point is: when water boils it expands massively, becoming gas, pressure counteracts this expansion, compressing the gas. at the critical point, the compression is so high that the volume of the same amount of water in gasform equals the volume in liquid form. So the same molecules are in the same room as in a liquid, but behave with the same properties as in gasform (they have no hydrogen bonds for example anymore).

[sp00nC4t]

the atmosphere also sits on the sea, affecting water pressure?

[CurryCurry]

yeah, but at this depth it doesnt change much, as atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1atm and at 3km depth its 300atm.

[CurryCurry]

pressure is pressure, same thing.

[JaMoond]

Never mind teemuruskeepaa's comment.

Just think of pressure in general sense. I was talking about water evaporation at surface. Critical point shown in this video was referring to the critical properties in enclosed space, which is quite different than evaporation of water that we see normally.

Search for google "critical point phase diagram."

[tardesnegras]

thanks JaMoond, I am sorry, I just found it to be very interesting but, it was just hard for me to understand.

[teemuruskeepaa]

I think you are just manipulating us and you planned from the start to accept only the most pleasing answer, if any.

[cagronomy]

teemuruskeepaa, paranoid much?

[teemuruskeepaa]

cagronomy, oh I want to add that tardesnegras is lying that it is hard for him to understand. He is after social status but manipulating us into supporting his alleged ignorance. And the fact that you now consider me paranoid, really lifts his status against all of us. You pay the tyrant what he wants.

[infinit888]

"cagronomy, oh I want to add that tardesnegras is lying that it is hard for him to understand."

Maybe... but maybe he really doesn't understand and wants to learn something. Not everyone learns about supercritical fluids at school you know.

[Thedemon93]

ffs That voice is so irritating /=

but the info is good xD

[Wesdabest]

Kewl

[ultimatelights13]

nice
