| Do You Know.....Champagne Physics and geology?
I received this email. Can anyone make heads or tails from this? I am totally lost.... If every person on earth poped a bottle of Champagne(real or out -province (sorry Frenchy)) at the exact same second, corks(real or plastic) up angle 45 degrees facing East against Earth's rotation, (no limit on drinking age), with the number of people and their world distribution(focused and assymetrical)::::::::What would be the sound effect and would there be a detectable tectonic effect.? What Richter scale number? [If necessary you have my permission to get a bottle and try to find out the parameters as a unit scale(remember, wellshaken)What you do with leftovers is your choice-glass, guzzle-bathtub. >Account for focal points and wave spreads with wave bound mergences and and interference patterns. standing or colliding wave patterns for at least the largest neighboring pair of centers on land and across ocean. >Will the world Wobble or stagger? >What would you hear where you are immediately and over the next 17hrs and 30 min?.(sound~700mph= time to go halfway round the world (each side crashing into you.). >Will any locations literally flood and flow with dry sweet luscious foam with women gleefully floating downstream and possibly how deep? >Was this challenge worth considering, or saving for Science, Math class or Parties? Get all the help you need, class, geniuses, New Year's revellers, Frenchies, alcoholics(refined), white water rafters and Kayakers, women. >Remember, there,s no courteous muffling the cork, it flies freely, sound unobstructed, by wedging it out from its base. >Also note, by the time everyone is ready for the countdown, the champagne would have warmed to near body temp. >Note that flyng corks, esp plastic stoppers from cold iced non-shaken bottles have really caused signifcant injury to not just the eye, and easily can dent a ceiling panel. Up it to warm and shaken now. >Note, at revelries of sports championships we all see on tv when they want to shower their team mates by shaking cold shampagne, easiliy 3/4 of the volume is sprayed and foamed ou(same for a soda can. >Spend $3-4 on a cheap spumanti on sale or Andres Pink Champagne of Cold Duck, warmed to 80 degrees(you may have to cage the stop and even wrap the bottle. Cheap fun experiment, but also potentially dangerous(to the tune of concussion from the cork) due the CO2 quantity dissolved/PVT calcs to compare real results and estimate bubble size for foam calc for the fluid contents or just due the Shasta Root Beer test and discover the secret of the foam.Its magnified in liters galore.And imagine Manhattan with 15Million workday people in that small island area. >Assume no soft belly absorption of the recoil of bottle and realize, engineers can easily come up with rigs that require the simple tug or pacifier sucuk/squish to activate. So no excuses, everybody into the tub EXAMPLES::A starter pistol can be heard for blocks(very very reduced .22 charge ONE SHOT. A cap gun can be heard for at least one block. A Low freq.tone wind chime can be heard with each tunk for 1/2-1 block.An oil filled telephone pole transformer box hit by lightning can be heard by the pop pressure release as the flash heated oilt vaporizescan be heard 1/4-1/2 mile and felt as air shock(lightly for several hundred feet, vibrating windows. A single car backfire can be heard for blocks, and pressure air vibration felt near by dozens of feet behind.A single strike from an air hammer to concrete generates seismicly detectable waves. An platoon of geared up army soldiers marching in unison develops detectable ground waves(can collapse a bridge in cadence, so they go out of phase.(How many bottle pops would equal a weighted step?) The Broadway Musical "Stomp" generates building shaking waves with a dozen men.See, there's potential in numbers, esp if summated close together. |
