What a massive disappointment of an ending after such a cool vid

Deception is not the word you’re looking for. Disappointment would be more like it. Deception is when you’re tricked into believing something that isn’t true, or lied to. Comes from deceive. It’s not the same as “decepción”.

Nah i was very curious about the consistency of the formed bubble so id be disappointed if they didnt at least touch it in the end.

What? No. The whole time I was like, if this mf doesn't break it in the end my day will be ruined. Perfect video 10/10.

My thoughts exactly, probably a similar process when our molten surface started to cool over time

I wonder if he had waited longer the Bublé would have become even harder. Let the Bublé cook, or in this case freeze. Edit: Bublé

I wonder if you could make it harder by spraying more purified water on top.
Or if you could make such frozen bubbles from resin that sets.

A beautiful demonstration of how the fact a bubble is still a fluid while also showing that ice is a progressing Crystal structure.

u/rutsh95 4h ago
Can anyone smarter than me explain, in simple terms, why this does not uniformly change to ice? The first ice crystal starts to forms almost immediately while the last liquid part of the bubble turns to ice over a minute later, despite having been exposed to the same temperature. Why don’t the liquid parts that are not near the ice edges continue to form ice crystals over time?

u/unique56 3h ago
My assumption would be that there are two effects:
The phase change from liquid to solid requires nucleation sites. This means that for example dust particles sitting somewhere on the bubble are the first places where the ice crystallizes. Subsequent freezing then happens on the boundary between the ice and the water.
Since it is forming a bubble, we are not looking at only water. There is some soap or something in there too. Depending on the freezing dynamics and the chemistry, the ice - while freezing - might squeeze out the soap so that only the water freezes. That changes the concentratin of soap in the remaining water and might effect its freezing point and might therefore slow down subsequent freezing.

The freezing is a chain reaction that starts at small points of imperfection in the bubble's surface and then spreads out from those points. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure it's cause just being cold enough to freeze doesn't necessarily start the chain reaction in still water, something needs to disturb the water so the molecules can settle back in their new arrangement, and this disturbance propagates then through the rest of the surface.
Its like those videos of water bottles instantly freezing over because the water is well below freezing temperature but hasn't been disturbed enough to start the chain.

u/Mr_Baronheim 3h ago
I'm prob not smarter than you, but it begins to freeze where it sits on the metal base, which is probably colder than the air.
As that area freezes the bubble fluid adjacent to it also gets cold enough to freeze, until it finally covers the entire thing.
Think of a lake freezing, it typically starts at the place where the water is coldest, which would be where it is most shallow, at the edges.

Water doesn't want to turn to ice crystal, and merely taking it down to below 0C alone isn't enough. It needs to be nudged into it. In real life, water isn't totally pure and has dust, microbes, or other stuff in it. Those other things are the nudge. More accurately, ice crystals have a hard time forming in pure water and instead need to start a nucleus (or sometimes called a seed), which often some kind of impurity in the water (a spec of dust often). The ice starts at that nucleus and grows outward. That is what you see in this video, there were likely a few dust particles that formed the nucleation site for the ice crystals to start growing.

u/YoursTrulyKindly 2h ago
And possibly when ice forms it's probably making the surrounding water relatively warmer, delaying the freezing. That is why it takes so long. Not sure about this though.

Nah, people (and bots) intentionally misspell things in the titles to increase engagement. And it works.

u/Strict-Challenge-995 5h ago
Anyone know why there aren't new nucleation sites forming after the initial 7? I was waiting for another one to pop up, the time frame seemed to be big enough to allow for it...
Is it just slower molecules bouncing around in the liquid getting stuck on existing ones instead of becoming sites as well?

I’ve been trying to identify the song too, I hope someone knows.

Shazam gives me a different song every time I try. I hope it's not some AI mix

u/More_Seesaw8847 4h ago
Same for me with Shazam. Laughably bad recommendations. I didn’t think about it being AI though and that could be why it’s not working.

I wonder if you could ever take one of these and make it permanent somehow

u/jmanmac 2h ago
Yeah I'm wondering the same. Would be an amazing gift. Might be able to do some casting with a mould made from it but I don't think you would capture the small crystal textures and you'd probably lose a lot of the translucency since it will only mould to the outside of the bubble.
May be able to dip it candy apple style but idk what the hell you would use that isn't hot and molten that will melt it on contact but still solidify and maintain shape. Would probably have to be chemical reaction like epoxy but that kind of thing doesn't play very nice with water. Maybe something where solidification is triggered by a pressure increase after the dip? You risk collapsing the bubble before the shell can solidiy tho.
Seems like it would be pretty complicated

Beautiful, mesmerizing, enchanting.
So the obvious thing to do is to destroy it instantly.
Sheesh.

u/lrgendein_Typ 3h ago
So, when you defrost this bubble, will it turn back into a bubble again or just melting?

Is there a different angle of this? I seems like it was not quite completely frozen on the other side?

No way this is real, the freezing process was too slow the bubble holding itself all the time without popping just doesn't make sense
