Morning! Intriguing minded indeed!
Okie...we all know (I think we should know by now) under normal conditions, ordinary water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F. Right? However, if you add salt to water, its freezing point becomes lower. As "foreign" particles are put in, it can affect the outcome. In this case, water.
For your case, as humans, we must understand how unique biological and physiological adaptations are essential for survival in one environment but detrimental to survival in another environment and it goes the same way for fishes too. (What am I doing??!! Comparing humans with fishes...anyway what the heck, eh? We co-existed all this while) MUAHAHAHA~~~Fillet-O-Fish, anyone?
What we need to know is "The Effect of Salt Concentration on the Freezing Point of Water”. Aduiii...I've done this experiment during my secondary school time before and what I've noted was: increasing the salt concentration means that water can stay liquid below 0 degrees Celsius. Hence providing the possibilities of fishes can survive in a cold and harsh environment! Provided yu know how science experimentations can be used in adaptations like I mentioned earlier in to real life (in this case, "fishes" would be more accurate) practicality. MUAHAHAHA~~~
And it may one day prove effective for humans, too--or at least for human organs. By co-opting the physiological strategies fishes/frogs have evolved to survive freezing I think we can find ways to preserve human hearts, livers, and other organs for transplantation in the long term basis.
I want to see the possibilities of my liver can be brought back to live from a frozen state. It would be nice if I can bring dead people back to live! even in a "zombified" state. MUAHAHAHA~~~ (I know this is far fetch but I would like to share my science imaginations and possibilities with all of yu)
Regards, Joey~~~
p.s: Humans and animals have evolved (or use improvise mechanism/methodologies) many ways to survive in extremely cold environments. I can foresee and convinced that long-term organ preservation will come through mimicking the strategies that nature has already devised. I worked in a Medical Centre before and I have read some of the doctor's "written notes" and saw the possibilities of such preservation.
Even if I managed to answer your question, I wouldn't be the next Newton. I'm a noob compare to Newton. (Sir Issac Newton is equivalent to the Frozen Throne in DotA)

QUOTE(corad @ Jun 19 2009, 11:10 AM) @Joey Christensen you missed the question completely. Newton is in the title because he saw things everyone else saw, but asked questions nobody else asked. "Why did the apple fall?" would be a famous one. Thanks for the enlightenment. Joey~~~WTF??!! I swear I saw the word "fish" somewhere in your Thread! I re-read your posting again after my friend said where the heck the fish came from??!! I felt like impaled by Lion the Demon Witch in DotA! Okie! I admit I did some gaming till 2am yesterday...Oh man! This is really pawning me! I will keep my eyes peeled after this! p.s: I will use Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse upon myself! (Izit possible??!!) I apologise upon my "mistake" in addressing your question, Thread Starter. Sorry ya! I felt shitty after this realisation! Became a feeder already...I'm a noob.

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jun 22 2009, 01:40 PM) No,as pressure is not a factor in solidification of water.It solidify based on the average energy of each molecule. The water will still solidify at 0. Added on June 22, 2009, 1:41 pmI think the full can of food would go further,as it will have higher momentum. Momentum = Mass x Velocity Mass up,momentum up. Just my 2 cents. There's alwaiz a catch! Vacuum? Mass doesn't comes into the equation, right? From my understanding,relativistic quantum field theory makes a very clear distinction between what I would intuitively understand to be an ABSOLUTE VOID and what we experience as the VACUUM of space. Therefore, mass has no effect on the velocity an object is travelling via vacuum condition. I'm skeptical too since yu brought the matter up for discussion. I need enlightenment too. Regards, Joey

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jun 22 2009, 02:51 PM) Weight doesnt come into the equation,not mass,as mass is a measure of matter in a body and it's not affected by gravity.We can have a 1 unit mass object at earth.The same object would still be 1 unit mass in Mars. I think your first sentence is sufficiently self explanatory. Thank yu. Since we are on the topic of 2 different cans (one is empty and another one is full) traveling through vacuum. The question is Momentum = Mass x Velocity applicable in Vacuum/Absolute Void condition? In layman's term: WEIGHTAGE of a certain object (the two cans) affects the travel speed, in a sense, right? Regards, Joey p.s: "Cheesenium", thanks for the enlightenment. I knew the difference between mass and weight but it didn't came to me as I addressed the reply. MUAHAHAHA~~~
