He had a trippy Grolgoth sig at one point, if memory serves. It really did bring one to the ground.

Hah that sounds quite the sight. At least I've got my (well technically yours) beautiful Vectorbeard.

I think I'm the only person who sees that rank as a little horizontally shrunk.

Wait, did I mess up? I'm certain I only used the aspect ratio-locked transform tool in Photoshop when I made it.

[Xenon]

Ah, I didn't know it was you who made it

Actually I've had this discussion before somewhere and was informed it wasn't stretched in any way. It's just the peculiar way I see it, I suppose.

The phase boundary is represented by a line that ends in a critical point. Beyond the critical point there is no difference between vapour and liquid.

What does that mean, 'there's no difference between vapour and liquid'? I find this very hard to comprehend. Is it a gas? Is it a liquid? Is it 'both'? What does 'both' look like??

I don't think it's a very good description. Beyond the critical temperature and pressure, the substance becomes a supercritical fluid, which is not really either vapour or liquid. I shares properties with both, but is not the same.

I studied that like eight years ago so I can't be of much more help but hopefully that'll clear things up.

Well, he's at an angle, but the space is so tight that that can be mistaken for stretching instead…

Wait, are we talking about when you reduce the temperature of a substance to beneath a critical temperature, and thus change how the atoms within the substance work?

At high temperatures, all forms of matter begin to converge. The hotter you get, the less dense liquid becomes, and the more dense gas becomes and at/above the temperature at which they meet, they become one and the same, sort of a literal combination between their properties; a supercritical fluid, like Hunch said. It appears slightly more liquid-esque at first despite being neither in particular, but since the substance is now stuck in a unified stasis (though it can still be solidified under extreme pressure, solids are sort of different), as you raise the temperature, the fluid also raises in pressure, making it less dense, and it starts to behave more like a gas. Though saying it's a linear transition would be inaccurate, since it has a tendency to flip the fuck out with the slightest change in temperature at that state.

Triple points are also rad, but not as rad.

There was a Vsauce video that explained it brilliantly, though I can't for the life of me remember which it was.

[Shrooblord]

Does that mean you'll have a ball of liquid floating around the room like it's a gas? That's pretty hilarious.

So does the gas phase surpass another critical point when it becomes plasma, or is that something completely different again?

[Hunchman801]

Not really, you wouldn't be able to observe it like that. And plasma is something else, basically ionized gas. It's considered a distinct state of matter, while supercritical fluid isn't. That's because beyond the critical point the distinction between liquid and gas disappears, and while it's neither of them it's not something entirely different either.

[Shrooblord]

Cool. I learned stuffs! Thanks guys. :d

*Drum roll*
Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd ladies and gentleman, here it is: MY ULTIMATE 7000th post

I want to espacially thank the RPC members for keeping all the threads alive, unless I would have never made it that far!

< thinks em should stop at 6999. It's too glorious.

Stupid Shroob, No one can stop me !

Now if you excuse me, I need to go to bed

[OCG]

I freaking love that .gif image!
Anyways, congrats on 7000th post.

[Shrooblord]

Drat, my master plan to get rid of emshomar for good foiled. Now I have to resort to plan Delta...

[PluMGMK]

'GRATZ eMSHomar !!!

[Dart]

Drat, my master plan to get rid of emshomar for good foiled. Now I have to resort to plan Delta...

Why not try Plan Z?

[Master]

Because Emshomar might burst into song and become a rockstar.

[Dart]

Yeah, that is a scary though. almost scarier than thinking about how Rulez would be wearing Womans shoes and leggings.

[Green Tribelle]

Just created this new account for my Ting bank. Not exactly sure what the rules are.

(This is Earth Gwee by the way.)

[Robo-Army Hoard]

Hi Green Tribelle! As a Ting account, I must inform you that all proceeds from your regular account must be diverted to me, The Hoard! Marvel in its glory and share in its wealth!

(Note: the share is a one-way transaction that cannot be reversed. Terms and conditions may apply.)

Hail the Admiral and his big bounty!
