or you just take a gigantic saw or something cut "the top of mount everest" , bring it down to sea level and cook an egg xD I win:P
Its just equalising the pressures. As you go under water, outside pressure is higher then in the inner ear, so you need to 'pop' them to increase the pressure to keep them in balance. The same applies to going to high altitudes (or flying), the outside pressure is lower then in the ear so you need to 'pop' your ears to increase the pressure and equalise them with the surroundings.1927 wrote:
Do your ears pop when you go higher due to less pressure then or more?TimmmmaaaaH wrote:
haha. it is quite easy to explain actually.
There is less above you than 8km further below -> hence less pressure (stuff pushing down on you)
Do my ears pop when I go underwater due to less pressure then or more?
Only difference is, water is much much denser then air so going up 10000 feet is about the equivalent of going under 1 metre of water. It's why when you go scuba diving you need to constantly equalise the pressure while it makes very little difference in air because (unless your flying) you can't change altitude (pressure) that quickly.
To Answer the OP, yes. Oxygen for a flame is irrelevant if you use electrical heat. Temperature to boil and egg is irrelevant if you fry the egg. But saying that, there is still enough oxygen to keep a fire going, and the pressure difference reducing the boiling temp of water is not enough to stop you cooking an egg with that boiling water. Also you can increase the boiling point of water by adding impurities such as salt.
But nobody would smell them you see. 1. You all have face masks or scarves covering your nose 2. The snow suits wouldn't let the fart escape and thus it would brew and then 7 days later when you get back to base and remove your suit Everest would melt due to global warming, it would of fermented much like beer does.cablecopulate wrote:
Why bother eating an egg up there? With all you have to worry about, the last thing anyone wants to deal with is smelly farts.
Ever played "Dutch Ovens"?
My Daughter was in bed watching the tv with me last Saturday morning and after a night of cider I brewed one up, told her how to play and almost suffocated the poor girl. The proper way to play it is with your Wife/GF/Fiancee'/Someone elses Wife/Life Partner (BF in other words) as they can also brew one up too.
If needed I will explain more:
uh, it was just a joke dude.
I see what you did there varegg
