    Cliff notes:
    Cliff advises not to rely on his memory for the volume of a sphere. It's really 4/3 π r^3. Cliff also says that using a tube to break the vapor lock is challenging. Straws (even flexo-straws) kink when bent around narrow hairpin curves. And most flexible tubes (especially aquarium air tubing) have high friction against glass, so they're difficult to thread along the curve.

    • @bodnotbod
      @bodnotbod 4 роки тому +3

      Why doesn't the measuring jug have volume by virtue of the thickness of its glass? You can flatten it to a disc but if the disc is as thick as the glass of the jug, doesn't the disc have volume? Or is the idea that when you flatten it to a disc, you just keep flattening it until the disc is impossibly thin?

    I need help. I'm training my baking skills for pi day but the recipe asks for 500ml of water and I don't know how to measure it.
    I got a 500ml sphere but I didn't seem to be able to fill it with water because it wouldn't go through.
    So I poked a hole in the sphere but now it has 0 volume.
    This is a nightmare. There's no way for me to measure the water >

      LordKekz Yep, I’m actually a father of a child with high iq and he couldn’t cope with a classroom. We ended up having to take him home as he got depressed, unfortunately that’s not allowed in the Netherlands so you have the super weird and stressful situation where you want to teach him at home, not going down the path of going the wrong way and still having to send him there. We couldn’t justify that for him, so we moved abroad. It took us a full year to get him interested again, at least he’s happier now and starting to get excited a bit again, but what he had before school, never really came back. I read that many famous scientists had the exact same experience. We definitely need to change that.
