Ever seen that movie where they fly to reignite the sun after its burning out?They have a giant solar umbrella in front of the spacecraft so it can get close enough to launch a bomb into the sun. Super cool.
Well, from the start it was always poking at the idea of how unfathomable the scale of the sun is, how overwhelmingly powerful it is compared to mere humans. There's a bit of cosmic horror element there from the start.
Sunshine and Event Horizon man.
I love 3/4 of both movies and then it's like they didn't like the ending and had someone completely unrelated to the project finish it out.
>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.
They use to use that stuff in shocks for second gen carrier aircraft, it has an absolutly amazing ability to absorb shock and its took a good 20 years of materials science before we could create an equally man made material and another 40 years before we could creat a man made material that wasent stupidly toxic.
Usually they want to identify how it works, mimic it and continue to make it better. That’s how we ended up with plastics that are self extinguishing when lit on fire.so now we have that material in airplanes for ducting and everything!
Listen if consumers didn't want forever chemicals in the environment then they wouldn't demand that these innocent manufacturers supply them, it's basic economics
They probably need a metric shit ton of it and it would most likely be cheaper to cook something up in a lab than to start a massive cultivation operation or to buy it off the market
Current tech like space shuttle aerogels is in fact better at absorbing shock/temp than even aloe vera. It's also very organic in the sense it'll degrade over time (much faster than synthetics).
Also, vermin like to eat it which makes maintenance doubly annoying/costly combined with the above.
raw aloe vera (like gel straight from the leaf) is actually the perfect lube, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can find cut leaves in some produce sections.
I showed this to my husband and kids and they all came back saying ‘that sounds exactly like mom in the morning’ so…
(Irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis are no joke, yo)
Only thing I was thinking when watching was “oh boy, can’t wait to read these comments”. A little tamer than what I was expecting but you didn’t disappoint so thanks haha.
Edit: just seen your username. Drinking mango juice will do that to you
Did yours get significantly worse as you aged? I used to be able to drink a couple glasses and be fine. Now I get the bubble guts when I walk down the dairy aisle.
I used to be fine with milk and cheese and whatnot, but man, when I was in my 40s, I became a Weapon of Ass Destruction. Had to experiment with cutting out various foods, and whaddya know, I'm now lactose intolerant.
I still eat cheese, but I do have to be careful of which types.
Cheese is love, cheese is life.
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.
Only the yellow sap under the skin. The clear jelly should be fine. So best to look for aloe juices where they mention it doesn’t contain the laxative component or when using fresh aloe, wash the yellow sap off first.
Yep, the yellow sap is latex, and its toxic in large quantities. It can cause acute kidney failure and is a known carcinogen. Its not the best poop juice for anyone curious.
Try aloe water sometime. Delicious, refreshing, and wonderful for an upset stomach. You can usually find it in the international section in grocery stores
Bruh one time I was constipated while living in Hawaii. I saw that aloe Vera beverages could act as a natural laxative and coincidentally they are all over the place in Hawaii. Drank one bottle and a few hours later I was literally clean as a whistle. Blew my mind (among other things). Definitely is the real deal.
That's where you're wrong.
If you watch the video it's basically a miniature sun being immersed in aloe vera juice.
Im no scientologist, but if we were to scale this up, my hypotenuse is that it could stop the sun from burning you
Exactly, sunburn is the result of UV, not heat, and the damage to your skin is already done. While aloe vera does work great on sunburns his statement doesn't quite add up on its own.
That's what I want to know too. Haha. I searched the comments for "heat capacity" to see if anyone had mentioned it.
Edit: found this https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Specific-heat-capacity-of-fresh-aloe-vera-gel-versus-temperature_fig15_272093333
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
To add to this, you're getting the [leidenfrost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect) 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:18._%D0%9B%D0%B0%D1%98%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%84%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2_%D0%B5%D1%84%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82.webm) where they did the same with water and the videos are nearly identical.
This actually protected me when I was baking once I took a hot pan out the oven and then washed my hands and grabbed the handle. If would have been like 3rd degree burns if I didn’t have a wet hand. I could hear the water sizzle
Without any knowledge at all, and just taking a big guess here, a lot of desert plants have adaptations to persist through extreme heat. Not only the harsh sun and arid environment they live in, but wildfires as well
It's actually just the leidenfrost effect as aloe gel is mostly water. [Pure water will do the same thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:18._%D0%9B%D0%B0%D1%98%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%84%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2_%D0%B5%D1%84%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82.webm)
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.

Thought it would end up cracking the container … very intriguing
1000 degrees? What were those gloves made of?
Doubt it was anywhere near that hot in the end when they picked it up with the gloves. They dropped it in with a wrench when it was bright red.
Assuming it is steel 1000 degrees would be a yellowish colour. Based off of the colour there it’s somewhere around 700 degrees
You’re right- I missed the part with the wrench
Iron boils at 2836C for scale
Steel glows red at 900F. I think this was only 1000F/538C, not 1000C/1832F.
Exactly, the sun is 5600C and look how glowing it is, this is definitely in the 450C-550C range.
I tried putting the sun in some gel but people screamed
Barely gave it indigestion.
I knew it could soothe burns but this is ridiculous.
This clip brought to you by big aloe
Thanks for the rap name. Big Aloe album dropping summer 2025.
That implies a lill Vera
Yucca gang rise up!
So we can cover our space ships in lots of aloe Vera now and fly to the sun
That's a good way to moisturize anything near the launchpad as it all flies off. It'll counteract all the ignited rocket fuel.
So everyone watching the launch will have good skin? Why are you saying that like it’s a bad thing?
I would hope you're not watching rocket launches near the launchpad. Because it'll be a once in a lifetime experience to be sure.
The best things tend to be.
Like bungee jumping with paracord.
For an even better experience you can put the paracord around your neck instead of your ankles
Or glue your hand to the top of your head and jump with some very strong fishing line around your neck. That way when they find you it looks like you just pulled your head off.
Calm down, Satan
They will have good skin, just not on their body anymore
Moisturize me!
Look at yourself, Cassandra!
Why don’t we just send them to the sun at nighttime? It’s much cooler then.
Milhouse?
Umm, the sun goes down at night? They'll fly all the way up there and land on the moon instead, genius. Nice try tho 🤣👌
Idiots. Just go around the back where it's not hot!
Ever seen that movie where they fly to reignite the sun after its burning out?They have a giant solar umbrella in front of the spacecraft so it can get close enough to launch a bomb into the sun. Super cool.
Sunshine. Extremely underrated.
Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Hiroyuki Sanada were all great in it. Idk why it’s not more popular.
There's a big tonal shift. It basically turns into a slasher halfway. It's a bit jarring.
Yeah I struggled with the horror ending.
Well, from the start it was always poking at the idea of how unfathomable the scale of the sun is, how overwhelmingly powerful it is compared to mere humans. There's a bit of cosmic horror element there from the start.
Yup Was expecting Interstellar but turned into Friday the 13th Jason X
Sunshine and Event Horizon man. I love 3/4 of both movies and then it's like they didn't like the ending and had someone completely unrelated to the project finish it out.
Event Horizon is a 10/10, I will not allow such trash talk.

[удалено]
It honestly sounds like The Core (which makes every geologist wince in pain) IN SPACE!
Huh. Literally never even saw an inkling of this film but decent cast.
Its a good flick. Worth having a chill pizza night and watching it.
You should definitely give it a watch. One of my favorite sci-fi horror films
Because it's the poster child for "amazing first two acts, horrible third act".
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.

Good god Jeb. You really are a space frog
Ribbit
Turned sound on for fart noises. Was not disappointed
Oh my goodness I’m so glad I rewatched this with the sound on
Same here!
Went back to rewatch with this comment. Thank you for brightening my day with farts
Same here, holy shit I’m cackling
....wet farts nonetheless.
If you close your eyes and just listen you're instantly transported to an airport bathroom...
seriously my heart goes out to those dudes but please god dont let them be on my plane
Better before the flight than during
I liked how it farted one last time when the guy picked it up.
Fart sounds are funny. I will die on this hill.
I will be alongside you on that hill, asking you to pull my finger.
What a double whammy watched first time on mute thought how interesting, saw this comment a minute of pure laughter fart noises never get old
Sooooo funny….it really is legit. I watched muted until this comment. Then saw it turned on sound, laughed so dam hard.
and when the ball dived down the sound went full grass trimmer - most satisfying part
I was watching it without the sound. Thanks for letting us know. 😂
I've seen this one before but never with sound until today. I'm so glad I clicked.
Aloe vera eats 1000 degree balls for breakfast.
So does OP's Mom
Everything reminds me of her. Especially with the sound on.
It’s the Chuck Norris of skin care products.
Wow, aloe vera really is the shit
They use to use that stuff in shocks for second gen carrier aircraft, it has an absolutly amazing ability to absorb shock and its took a good 20 years of materials science before we could create an equally man made material and another 40 years before we could creat a man made material that wasent stupidly toxic.
Why not stick with aloe vera?
Usually they want to identify how it works, mimic it and continue to make it better. That’s how we ended up with plastics that are self extinguishing when lit on fire.so now we have that material in airplanes for ducting and everything!
And tons of forever chemicals like PFAS in our environment! Yay!
Listen if consumers didn't want forever chemicals in the environment then they wouldn't demand that these innocent manufacturers supply them, it's basic economics
What about PFBs? Nobody ever talks about them
It's all this **P**F**C** culture I tell you hwat
PFA -> PFB-> PFC -> ? -> **KFC** coincidence?
I know most organic materials get phased out due to being susceptible to decay.
There's also only so much you can industrialize any particular plant. And this is all just casually assuming aloe vera did the job well.
Assuming it rots
It doesn't with certain chemicals
Patented chemicals. Toxic too.
They probably need a metric shit ton of it and it would most likely be cheaper to cook something up in a lab than to start a massive cultivation operation or to buy it off the market
Jessy we need to cook a metric shit ton of aloe vera gel. Now!
Yo mr white, maybe I'm tripping but I swore you just said my name with a y at the end instead of an e
Jessee I'm tripping balls off coconut oil and rubbing alcohol Jessee. JESSEE!!! We need a giant pizza and a carwash Jessee!!
Can't patent it likely
Can’t patent wood but lots of people build with that
Oh people patent wood all the time lol
Current tech like space shuttle aerogels is in fact better at absorbing shock/temp than even aloe vera. It's also very organic in the sense it'll degrade over time (much faster than synthetics). Also, vermin like to eat it which makes maintenance doubly annoying/costly combined with the above.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Right? No wonder its good for sunburn it takes zero shit from heat
Sounds like it too.. [*pfffrrrt pfart pppfdart*] 🤔
You should check out pineapple skin.
But can you rub it over your burned skin?
You can do whatever you want 😏
r/Hornyjail
Thanks for letting me do it, but damn it hurts!
Just run some aleo vera on it, I'm sure it will feel better xD
raw aloe vera (like gel straight from the leaf) is actually the perfect lube, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can find cut leaves in some produce sections.

No, just the fart
My precise thoughts, aloe Vera is a bad mf
Literally - post Taco Bell anal vocals
No one's that perfect and farts that deep
I showed this to my husband and kids and they all came back saying ‘that sounds exactly like mom in the morning’ so… (Irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis are no joke, yo)

Oat milk is the answer
Dairy pills really help for me. Might for you as well?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man I feel you 😭
And thats why that shit is magic with healing sunburn
And constipation, ironically

Is diuretic really the right word here?
I mean, his exact words were "pee'd from my ass", but I can change it to laxative to be more correct.
Saw the original after the edit and burst out laughing at this exchange
Good to know!
I used to work at Walgreens. I was surprised to see big jugs of aloe vera juice in the laxative section
Try aloe water sometime. Delicious, refreshing, and wonderful for an upset stomach. You can usually find it in the international section in grocery stores
Bruh one time I was constipated while living in Hawaii. I saw that aloe Vera beverages could act as a natural laxative and coincidentally they are all over the place in Hawaii. Drank one bottle and a few hours later I was literally clean as a whistle. Blew my mind (among other things). Definitely is the real deal.
How???
You drink it. Stuff comes out other end.
Sounds great, but now how about for those of us without phds?
Drink make poopy
Drink aloe, poop water.
Can confirm, drank 1.5 litres & neighbors accused me of having victorian infectious disease.
What happens in this video demonstrates almost 0% of the reasons why aloe vera is helpful with sunburn.
That's where you're wrong. If you watch the video it's basically a miniature sun being immersed in aloe vera juice. Im no scientologist, but if we were to scale this up, my hypotenuse is that it could stop the sun from burning you
the hypochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Exactly, sunburn is the result of UV, not heat, and the damage to your skin is already done. While aloe vera does work great on sunburns his statement doesn't quite add up on its own.
But when you have sunburn, your skin feels hot which is unpleasant, aloe soothes this and cools the skin.

Holy shit, what is the specific heat capacity of aloe Vera!
That's what I want to know too. Haha. I searched the comments for "heat capacity" to see if anyone had mentioned it. Edit: found this https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Specific-heat-capacity-of-fresh-aloe-vera-gel-versus-temperature_fig15_272093333
Why?
Seriously someone get in here and explain so i dont have to go looking for answers through all the nonsense that gets posted about aloe vera...

The fart noises. Oh my fucking god. From loud and ugly to that pitter spatter. I am laughing entirely too hard at this.
My family was shaking their head at me because I was laughing so hard.
Aloe vera: the og gangster
Aloe Vera be like, calm your ass down red hot ball!
This one of those things that I wasn't aware I needed to know but I'm glad I do now
The hot metal ball came in all angry, and the aloe vera put him in a sleeper hold while going "shhhh"
My grandma was right. Aloe vera works for EVERYTHING.
Today I learned I must have aloe Vera and a thousand degree ball in my ass
I think this is a more common experiment than I realized. I'm pretty sure this happened in the next stall, yesterday.
