Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

30°C is 303 Kelvin. Half of that is 151 Kelvin, which translates into a fairly mild -122°C!

Wait, does it? Are joules in thermal energy per kelvin a purely linear relationship?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

For the most part, it varies by material and state of matter, but assuming the chemical composition doesnt change and no material changes phase, then it is pretty close to linear in most materials.

hmm but there will surely be a lot of phase changes with a drop in energy so substantial. we need our top scientists on this asap
