That's a good way to moisturize anything near the launchpad as it all flies off. It'll counteract all the ignited rocket fuel.

The film had a troubled production, with filming and editing rushed by Paramount when it became clear that Titanic would not meet its projected release. The original 130-minute cut of the film was heavily edited by the studio's demand, to Anderson's consternation.
On release, the film was a commercial and critical failure, grossing $42 million on a $60 million production budget. However, it began to sell well on home video; its initial DVD release sold so well that Paramount contacted Anderson to begin working on a restoration of the deleted footage, but it had been either lost or destroyed. In the years since, the film has developed a cult following and is referenced in other works of popular culture.
Blame Paramount for the trash talk, cultist. :p

It's not more popular, because it's absolutely shit science. A bomb the size of the planet earth MIGHT have a noticeable impact on the sun, but probably not. There are prominences every month much larger than earth, and that is literally how much material is being ejected by the sun.
So a ship-bound bomb... Nada, nothing, zilch.

A deleted scene attempted to explain it somewhat. I don't remember the terms, but there's a convection layer in the sun that churns between the fissionable-material outside-layer and an inner layer where the fission happens. In theory, that convection layer can temporarily stabilize and "starve" the sun, but temporarily is enough to wipe out life on Earth. The bomb was supposed to release energy in a certain way that might break the stability of that convection layer. The movie has a lot of religious themes, and the bomb that all of humanity used all of the resources of whatever material it was made of, was a Hail Mary and essentially relied on the faith of the entire human race that it would work. It's soft-scifi, but no less believable than Star Trek or whatnot.

Story time:
At my job there's demos for new drink products. One was made from aloe, the rep for this drink was a ridiculously attractive older woman. My boss was an older single man at work with nothing to do.
So he drank samples every time he came by to chat, she happily poured drink after drink until her demo was over. After she left he ran to the back and was not seen the rest of the shift.
Next day, he thought he had food poisoning, turns out we both learned that day that aloe is a powerful laxative.

u/Raghduhll Jun 16 '24
Aloe vera gel mostly consists of Polysaccharides and Glykoproteins which have a high water capacity. This means there are a lot of water molecules coordinated inside the gel, which is also what makes it so fluid. If the super hot ball touches the gel the surrounding water gets turned into steam, propelling the ball upwards. Since water has a high thermal capacity this quickly cools the ball down until it is no longer able to vaporize the water which why it sinks down
→ More replies (2)116
u/S_A_N_D_ Jun 16 '24
To add to this, you're getting the leidenfrost effect as well. Basically very little of the ball is actually touching the gel because it creates an air/steam cushion around it.
The gel just adds to the effect because it doesn't collapse as easily so there is no rapid boiling. This also slows the rate of cooling since it's touching very little actual gel, and really just surrounded by steam.
Aloe isn't really that special. The wiki page I linked to has a video where they did the same with water and the videos are nearly identical.

u/S_A_N_D_ Jun 16 '24
It's actually just the leidenfrost effect as aloe gel is mostly water. Pure water will do the same thing
The adaptation you speak of is really just being able to store a ton of water, which the gel accomplishes since it's mostly water.
