Kind of reminds me of the inner tip of the blue cone in the Bunsen burner which is supposed to be the hottest point of combustion rather than at the bottom of the flame, and the top of the flame is supposedly the coolest?
- ChatGTP 3y agoThis always amazed me too. I guess we’re taught hot air rises but this does not apply to the way gas burns. Honestly I feel like all knowledge is some type of best effort approximation and I think it’s important to stay skeptical and open minded. I think it’s also a fun way to live. Enjoy the mysteries. Knowing all the things would be an insufferable bore.
