Know what fire is? Duh, everyone knows what fire is.... Right? Surprisingly, most people don't know exactly what is going when they see a fire. Is that hot yellow thing a plasma? Is it a different state of matter? What the hell is it! Watch this video and find out! :D

Note: Blackbody radiation is basically when a substance is heated up, it begins to emit light. Stuff that is normally invisible like hydrogen becomes visible when heated up because of blackbody radiation. So even though our sun is almost entirely made of hydrogen, you can see it glowing brightly because of blackbody radiation.
