I prefer the example where I'm a kid and have an infinite number of cookies.

[Giraffinator]

This guys voice is so amazing

[ReddyBlurrr]

You would have to be wetter than water and have ovaries bigger than blue whale's to like this bloke's voice....

[IamPureFire Child]

Yes we have all seen gas cookers i.e. blue flames, but still haven't seen a heated object turn green or violet, so no you're still an idiot...

[SZDarkhack]

I already answered your question, it's not my fault that you're unable to understand it. Watch the video again (and actually pay attention this time). And for future reference, insulting people won't help you get an answer.

[IamPureFire Child]

Yeah the clip states that heat goes through ALL colors in the color spectrum, so instead of making yourself look intelligent you actually made yourself look a bit of more moron.... Maybe you should watch the clip FIRST before making a comment....

[SZDarkhack]

The temperature required for an object to glow towards the blue end of the spectrum is very high (~10000 K), higher than the temperature of the surface of the sun (~6000 K), which glows yellowish-white. There are immense stars, however, that glow blue. Flames typically burn at less than 2000 K, not nearly hot enough.

If you don't understand one of these, don't give up! There are lots of vidoes in this channel, and you're eventually going to 'get' the ideas explained here if you listen carefully to enough of them. It's life enriching knowledge which is well worth taking the time to achieve.

[vladi zar]

havent understood shit.

time to watch a cat video yayyy

[Hùng Võ Huy]

I really like to watch these videos, but I only get a little out of it. Can't seem to understand the whole as obviously English is not my mother language.

[electricguitar146]

This man has the most soothing voice of all time
