How Quicksand Works, and Much More: The Secrets of Everything (Enhanced DVD)
Product Description:
This enhanced DVD gives detailed explanations of these interesting, yet not so easy to answer, questions:
Here are the questions that provide intrigue for us all and the answers are all explained in the video:
- Is it possible to die of a broken heart? - This section explores if the heart can be damaged by emotions. They use a pig heart, as a demonstration because it is the closest animal heart that resembles a human heart. Can the loss of a love break the heart? Maybe so, because there is stress from this experience and that releases adrenalin and excessive adrenalin can kill a person.
- Can a person drown in quicksand? Quicksand is a non-Newtonian liquid, which means when it is under pressure it easily gives way. It appears solid, but tiniest amount of pressure on the surface causes it to act more like a liquid than a solid. The good news is watching this video teaches a technique to escape from quicksand.
- If hot air rises, why are the tops of mountains so cold? The clue about this answer is air pressure, not temperature.
- If nothing escapes from black holes, how do we see them?
- If you load up on fast food, will you get fat?
- Is it possible to dig through the center of the Earth to reach the other side? This further explores the meaning of pressure using a nitrogen chamber with severe pressure to demonstrate how no human being could pass through the center of the Earth and survive.
This is a great DVD, which is a lot of fun and very enlightening.
