Fun fact: this is how they separate oxygen, nitrogen, and argon from air. You cool it to a liquid, and the. Slowly heat it back up. Nitrogen boils off first around 77K, then Argon around 83K, then Oxygen at 90K.

I find this so cool, even though it's like "oh yeah. Just like distilling alcohol or petroleum"... But... Like super cold...

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago

Right?! How cool is it that we can literally chill the atmospheric soup that we all stroll around in, then separate that into its components.

We can also prove its existence scientifically. We can detect by testing for it. We can chemically react it with other elements. There are lots of things we can't see with our eyes but we know exist through scientific study.

So far no test for god has been developed. We just have an old book that claims bats are birds to go by.

"I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to 'God' are all answered at about the same 50% rate."

I almost buy the philosophical argument that there must be a first mover, but I can't understand the incredible leap of faith people make to have such specific beliefs. Like how did we get to the point of "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" and prosperity doctrine wackiness?

[–] Enkrod@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly, the first mover argument just looks like "turtles all the way down" to me. It explains nothing, because it doesn't even care to explain this first mover. It's just one more turtle.

Hence, if the correct answer is "we don't know", we don't need the leap of faith to a first mover we know nothing about, we can just say "we don't know" and they don't either.

I thought god was discovered to be a particle in 2012 and he wasn't very happy with being seen, since he disappeared immediately and turned a lot of his followers into fascists.

You don't actually have to chill oxygen to see it, you can also just blow bubbles underwater.

[–] Robmart@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Aren't you just seeing the lack of water rather than actually seeing the oxygen?

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

And what is inside the bubbles instead of water?

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

nitrogen – 78%

oxygen – 17%

carbon dioxide – 4%

other gases - 1%

The funny thing is that we actually see oxygen, but as a gas it's so dispersed that it's almost fully transparent.

In theory, if you could press enough air into a tight enough volume (like, say, 1 cubic meter of air into a 1 cubic centimeter), you'd get a similar result.

[–] trustnoone@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Okay, but if you press god into a tight enough volume (like, say 1 cubic metre ......

!lol kidding!<

Could God make a burrito so hot that he couldn't eat it?

Could God make himself so visible that he couldn't be denied to exist?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could God drop a fart so rank even He can't stand the smell?

someone find God and freeze him at -218°C then finally some mysteries of the universe can be settled.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This got me an idea. Maybe oxygen is god.

Assuming that God isn't physical and is only real, since we create it in our minds.

Than god can be oxygen since it is necessary for us to live and therefore create god.

This is a very weird way to explain god.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hydrogen, more likely. After all that was the first macroscopic atom in this universe, and on a long enough timeline, hydrogen starts to philosophize about itself. That's literally what we are doing.

high concentrations of it makes nearly anything in its presence catch fire.

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The Bible attributes the same property to the abrahamic god. Maybe someone confused oxygen with a deity?

[–] historical_garlic383@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw an article a while back talking about how Yahweh was originally a volcano god. A lot of interesting comparisons- like pillar of fire, lightning, dark clouds…

I imagine Rick, pranking Morty by telling him he froze God to -218.8 C and thus accidentally killed him.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe we can see God if we make him cold enough... 🤔

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

I don't know man, he gives little kids cancer, if that isn't cold I don't know what is.

[–] kewwwi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

you can see god if you make yourself cold enough..
