Imagine dropping your phone and instead of the screen cracking, the chassis blasts apart. Pressurising materials using other solids doesn’t disappear the energy

Imagine dropping your phone and instead of the screen cracking, the chassis blasts apart. Pressurising materials using other solids doesn’t disappear the energy needed to maintain the pressure.
- Dylan16807 4y agoFunny you mention glass cracking because tempered glass has the same kind of internal pressure. Safety glass on a car has nearly a kilobar. It breaks up without blasting apart.
- snovv_crash 4y agoPressure != Energy. If it's a very stiff (aka brittle) material, then it doesn't deform enough to actually contain much energy even at high pressure.
