Hi 😊 I see many comments mentioning fire in the Sun or stars. Just a quick clarification: The Sun and stars produce heat and light through nuclear fusion. That is a nuclear reaction. While Fire is a chemical reaction that requires oxygen, which is very different from fusion. In this video, I explain why true fire, as we experience it on Earth, is unique here due to specific conditions tied to life. If you haven’t yet, please watch the full video for a deeper understanding before commenting based solely on the thumbnail. I think you’ll find the science behind it fascinating! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after watching. Thanks for stopping by
I did learn something! Been fascinated by science my whole life! There are so many kinds of science and they all truly fascinate me! One day I can be a geologist, another day a quantum physicist, another day a sociologist, another day an automotive mechanic, another day an electrician! Thank you for making this video because I had no idea just how tied to “life” fire-flames are!! 💯😁

Hi @williamkeeter9316, thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I’m thrilled to hear that you, as a chemical engineer, enjoyed the video and found the demonstrations helpful. It’s great to know that the explanation about fire on other planets offered a fresh perspective. I’m especially honored that you saved the video for your grandsons-it means a lot! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I am not a science buff yet remained glued to this video till the end, only because of the impeccable voice over.....terrific voice, flawless pronunciation n diction, proper flow, pauses....neutral yet anglicised accent, I'm super impressed !! 👏👏😀
I never knew the difference between visible fire on earth and light coming from stars and planets. Also I had never thought about the flames going only upward. I didn't know that on Space Station where gravity is negligible flame becomes round. Thanks for feeding my brain with new information.
You've articulated many valid points. Yes, heat will always proceed with fire, but Earth only has fire because we have oxygen, in which requires. So if we can't find a Planet with oxygen, we probably won't be finding fire anytime sooner.
Did we tryed all the elements combination that produces heat and all the gases that could sustain fire , undel all possible physical condituons? There mite be a combinatiin between thes 3 components that allows fire to ocur and be sustained.
So true man. So many years witnessing entropy but I never thought that fire is truly a great gift. Let's hope we find some though because if we don't find any, it's going to be quite scary for humanity. Need the power hungry people waging wars to think about our blue dot. We might not have another chance. Fucking eerie man.
Smdh... We're cooked, y'all are ignorant. All the questions he asked in the beginning are easily answered by elementary School science. The circular flame in space, the blue color of the flame that is hotter, the fact that fire can exist anywhere as long as you have the three requirements for a fire. This is why self-education is trash
There are possibility of "fire" on a planet with Methane atmosphere; like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. But the "fuel" is the oxygen or other oxidants.
Im not very good at chemistry. What can make a fire in these planets? What oxidants can we use? Can we use other elements that dont have oxygen at all? Pls answer, i dont know and i want to know.
@@janhansen554 Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material (the fuel) in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Read more on Wikipedia about Fire.
@@janhansen554 I know that all of the halogen gases like Fluorine and Chlorine can support combustion of hydrocarbons if that helps. Fluorine can actually support it better than oxygen. The rest not as good, but still can to some extent.
Oxygen and other oxidants can never be the fuel, because they oxidize the combustion, they're not themselves combusted. If you burn methane or wood in air and then try burning them in pure oxygen they will burn ~5 times brighter, faster and more efficiently, but you still need methane/wood to burn. Oxygen on its own does not burn, it only supports burning.
Magnesium contains all 3 required components for fire. As a matter of fact, when it catches fire it's extremely difficult to put out. Ships at sea forbid bringing magnesium on board.
As far as we humans are aware, you need fuel, heat, and oxygen to have fire. The flame is typically carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen. If the gases get hot enough, it can be plasma, but not usually. The universe is so vast and unexplored that I can’t imagine it only exists on Earth… just like there must be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
Hi @davidpatterson5426, thanks for your comment! 😊 You’re absolutely right-fire, as we know it, does require fuel, heat, and oxygen. The flame we see on Earth is indeed a combination of gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen, and it can reach temperatures high enough to produce some plasma. The video explores why sustained fire is unique to Earth’s conditions, especially because life here continuously replenishes oxygen in the atmosphere. Without a similar system, fire would eventually consume all available oxygen. And yes, the universe is vast and largely unexplored, so who knows what we might discover in the future! There may be life some distant planet and so do fire. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
The assumption that because there is life on earth there must be life else where.....sounds intelligent but it is not. It is only presumtious. Also, to think because the universe is so large that it may have these qualities there some where is to presume that vastness is the cause of those necessary conditions or life itself.
@@CreolemonkeyVastness would not be the cause, but it represents the likelihood that biogenic conditions can be repeated elsewhere. Have you seen the study that identified about 20 super-habitable exoplanets?
This is fascinating, especially about invisible fire. I never knew there was such a thing. I’m aware of invisible wavelengths of light, ultraviolet and infrared. I had no idea fire could emit these wavelengths. Is that what’s happening? If so, does hydrogen burn UV or IR light? Thanks in advance! Very fascinating!
A truly stunning revelation, even for someone who already knew that the sun isn't the oxygen-fuelled ball of fire that we assume it is (no, I'm no scientist of any kind). The association of fire with organic life is what stunned me. Thank you!
@@akpanekpo6025 problem is in advance chemist would tell you that this is all bunch of b*******. As stated in other comments on this video there are multiple gases that can fuel a fire. Oxygen just happens to be the one that we have plenty of here
Absolute fantastic & lucid presentation on a content which is most commonly a part of our daily life, and an eye opener for most of those people who do not have any clear idea about actual anatomy of fire….👍👍👍
Wrong. There's oxygen on other plants but it's not enough for life. Nitrogen is actually more prominent than oxygen on earth with a mixture of other elements on the periodic table.
@@Infamous-cause ok I agree, oxygen is less, but life will adapt to that, like humans living in high altitude can survive with less oxygen but those on lower ground, if they goto high altitude they will get tired soon. But fire is not the case, if there is no oxygen, it will not burn.
Wonderful presentation - thank you. Interestingly, some methods for producing non-thermal (i.e. not hot) plasma such as the dielectric barrier discharge can do it at atmospheric pressure and almost without heating the gas. It's beautiful to see and goes by the nickname "cold fire". My university likes running the cold plasma gas reforming experiment as a final-year undergraduate research project - the lucky students!
Technically speaking, fuels not derived from organic materials are flammable. A block of iron isn’t flammable because the surface area to volume ratio is inadequate to support a flame. However , steel wool will burn because the surface area is much larger than an equal volume of an iron block.
We don't know that. But we do know it's an incredibly huge universe with trillions of planets & moons. We've barely even explored our own tiny solar system. It's highly unlikely we're the only place in this vast universe where life exists.
@robertgorski4677 it's not so much the oxygen, water is abundant in the galaxy and we know it is easy to split it apart, it's the fuel that burns that is the issue.
@michaelrobinson1059 no it's hypothesis, we have only looked at a few thousand exoplanets, considering In the known universe, there are estimated to be around 20 sextillion I think we are a long way from a Theory 😂
Do you not consider lava eruptions as fire? Plus "fire" would require fuel to combust, which would need to be some form of a lifeform. Dead grasses and plant life. Rocks usually don't burn, unless lava is involved.
Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊 I'd like to clarify two points: I mentioned that we haven’t found fire elsewhere, not that it cannot exist anywhere else. There’s always room for new discoveries as we explore more of the universe. In the video, I go into detail about why sustained fire over millions of years is only possible on a planet with life. I’d appreciate it if you could watch the video for a deeper understanding. I’d love to hear your thoughts after watching!
People say that because the sun is made of plasma and fire is matter in plasma state. This is basic scientific knowledge. The man in the video disagrees that fire is a plasma state, but there are thousands of UA-camrs that think the Earth is flat too…
Calling other people uneducated while displaying your own lack of education. Here's the definition of Fire from my physics book. 🔥Fire🔥... the massive release of photons and/or plasma from a chemical or nuclear exothermic reaction.
Reminds me of that Jon Lajoie song. "Like a fire in a nursing home...old people burning, old people burning ... put your hands up, old people burning, old people burning ... that's kinda messed up"
Richard Feynman said in one interview at his home, that ''trees, are basically _stored_ Sun'', and that made me immediately understand how it all works! ❤
That's the most ridiculous assumption I've heard in quite some time, anywhere oxygen exists with a reactive substance, and the temperature is high enough will have fire, there are an estimated 70 quintillion planets. That's 70,000,000,000,000,000,000 but only one has fire. Riiiiight.
Wholeheartedly agree. Perhaps the only place in this solar system to have fire but there is no way it can possibly be stated its the only place in this vast universe. That's right up there with saying this less than a speck planet we live on is the only planet in the universe with intelligent life. I liked the info overall, though.
Show one place....please. we exist in possibility, but probability is living. Science means, sense used, not, used by sense. As of now, we know this, let's not be dopaminated....
I had to take a Dangerous Goods Corse every Year to be certified to Export Dangerous Goods by Air It included almost everything in this video and even more. It was always an open book test but the book was as think as a big city phone book. I took this test for 38 years. I was so glad that when we started being allowed to work from home, TSA would not allow us to use a third party warehouse so that was the end of that.
It’s not just fire, the liquid state of matter also requires very specific conditions. If an atmosphere doesn’t exert pressure in a specific range for a given atom or molecule you won’t have it. It is only on planets and moons like fire that it can exist.
Considering that earth is a gigantic ecosystem enclosed in a fishbowl and immersed like a bubble in water......controlled fire is a remarkable achievement.
That’s interesting is the reaction of fire the absence of water, and do those absences need each other? An interesting twist to the notion that opposite attract, but is is the axiom much more foundational then a mere throwaway line?
It’s really presumptuous to say that fire is only found on earth when we haven’t even explored 0.0000001% other universe… I understand the idea but I think the title needs to be reframed.

Considering that earth is a gigantic ecosystem enclosed in a fishbowl and immersed like a bubble in water......controlled fire is a remarkable achievement.
Excellent presentation
謝謝老師！Thank you for this cool video!
I enjoy learning.
Fascinating
That’s interesting is the reaction of fire the absence of water, and do those absences need each other? An interesting twist to the notion that opposite attract, but is is the axiom much more foundational then a mere throwaway line?
Very very interesting... Thanks bro...
Ok , you got me!
It’s really presumptuous to say that fire is only found on earth when we haven’t even explored 0.0000001% other universe… I understand the idea but I think the title needs to be reframed.
This narrative that the earth is a freak singularity is ridiculous right out of dark ages ..
Well articulated.
Thank You
I never thought in the way you have explained it. Without life there will be no fire on any planet.
The fire triangle. Fuel, oxygen, and heat. Anywhere in the universe you can bring those three things together you have the potential for fire.
Very interesting. I learned something.
