Don't they burst because the source doesn't stop before the bubble gets larger than what it can be? The source stopping would just lead to a deflation where it slowly gets smaller if the air hole is still open, or remain the same size until tiny leaks make it not be the same size anymore.

The source stopping would just lead to a deflation where it slowly gets smaller if the air hole is still open To continue my analogy, I prefer to visualize them as flying uncontrollably while shrinking very quickly (but not immediately as a puncture would), propelled by their own deflation discharges... So, this kind of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CTnTi1Lq60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CTnTi1Lq60
- capableweb 5y agoSounds like your analogy is more about balloons rather than bubbles. Bubbles make me think of these: https://www.techexplorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/bubbles-1024x768.jpg https://www.techexplorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/bub...
- coldtea 5y agoI guess you're right... I think of it the analogy more like baloons than water bubbles...
