Apr 11 01:55:52 <Regent>	pv2b: deeper -- the higher pressure means less cavitation
Apr 11 01:56:31 <Monarch>	women of #xkcd!
Apr 11 01:56:35 <Monarch>	please smile
Apr 11 01:56:35 <_Ray>	Manifolds for Obama?
Apr 11 01:56:36 <pv2b>	Widdershins: oh, i just think like a computer programmer.when somebody says "lower depth" then i think "well, then depth is a smaller value" 
Apr 11 01:56:49 <pv2b>	Widdershins: thanks for clarifying
Apr 11 01:56:49 *	shamrocker smiles questioningly
Apr 11 01:56:56 <Smily>	so the bubbles form because matter isn't fast enough to catch up with the pressure or something?
Apr 11 01:56:58 <postmodern>	xkcd: M-theory itself could be a postmodernist novel
Apr 11 01:57:01 <Monarch>	i just watched a whole trek episode, and at the end it's all happy, but they're not SMILING

Apr 11 01:58:47 <Regent>	Smily: it happens because the pressure is low enough at those points that the matter transitions phase
Apr 11 01:58:50 <xkcd>	That's cavitation.
Apr 11 01:58:52 <Regent>	er
Apr 11 01:58:55 <Regent>	yeah
Apr 11 01:58:56 <xkcd>	That gap.
Apr 11 01:59:18 <Monarch>	shamrocker, women smiling is AWESOME
Apr 11 01:59:26 <Monarch>	i think i have a smile fetish...
Apr 11 01:59:29 <xkcd>	Yeah, the gaps make the water around it turn to steam because there's no vapor pressure on the surface, I suppose
Apr 11 01:59:31 <Regent>	but xkcd when it is a submarine there is no air getting trapped the way it does in your hand example
Apr 11 01:59:32 <Monarch>	a smile makes you happy
Apr 11 01:59:37 <Monarch>	<3 thunder of SMILEZ
Apr 11 01:59:38 <Smily>	so, essentially it isn't catching up?
Apr 11 01:59:41 <shamrocker>	Monarch a "smile fetish" is the best thing i've ever heard.
Apr 11 01:59:42 <xkcd>	Regent: no, imagine the entire thing underwater
Apr 11 01:59:44 <xkcd>	no air anywhere
Apr 11 01:59:49 <Monarch>	:D
Apr 11 02:00:14 <Regent>	smily it is just because the pressure is low enough that the substance is a gas at that temperature and pressure
Apr 11 02:00:19 <Filius_Nullius>	I dont' think thats possible
Apr 11 02:00:22 <Tiara>	You guys arent smart
Apr 11 02:00:26 <Filius_Nullius>	theres some type of gas involved.
Apr 11 02:00:28 <Tiara>	You just watch too much Smash Lab
