What properties of glass make it so ideal for storing the multitude of acidic and basic substances that it does?

It’s all about reactivity … and it actually does react over time… both strong acid and base eventually eat at the glass.
Will this new improved, more scientifically accurate second affect the work you do, or is this more of a boon to physicists? I know that timing can be important for chemical reactions, but will there be that much of a difference between the cesium clock and atomic clock? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/25/science/time-second-measurement.html
That’s super interesting… I think since the measurement change is such a small number it will unlikely change much. Especially considering most ways of measuring are usually not that precise.
And, more importantly, will it significantly change the time that beer-thirty or wine-oclock seems to come.
Unlikely lol
If you only post memes or quotes I’m going to ban you from my thread, mister.
 
Even if they are science memes!?😱 I'm appauled at your behavior young lady!🤣

Do you think the future will have more electric cars? Or some other renewable energy?
I think we’ll need to focus on how we GET our electricity for these cars… that’s a real issue. Though I’ve always been a fan of hydrogen fuel cell technology

Yea hydrogen seems promising! I also like the vegetable oil as well, we shall see which one catches on! I'm just got into the electric yet with the run times and how long you have to wait for it to charge.... plus there are NO charging stations around where I'm at either🤷‍♂️

The charge stations are an issue for sure … plus some areas like California are quickly running out of power
 
CCG...What the hell is going on in each of these experiments?

Since CCGJ seemingly does not want to play...

Okay kids, then let's try this at home...

#1 - Looks like a snow flake growing as water freezes.

#2 - Appears to be a demonstration of an "electrical tree", or a very poorly thought out use of a hammer.

#3 - Shows "oxidization" as Copper reacts with nitric acid (based on the complex symbols shown)?

#4 - Every high-school science teacher likes to play with Hydrogen peroxide mixed with potassium iodide.

#5 - Sodium polyacrylate and water. Don't eat too many salty crackers and wash them down with water.

#6 - Admittedly I had to research this one...Fluorine reacting with hydrogen in a balloon.

#7 - I had to look this one up as well...A neodymium magnet falling through a copper pipe.

#8 - Ah, that'd be some simple popcorn exploding as the moisture within it expands as heated.

#9 - Heating mercury(II) thiocyanate causes it to release toxic gases and decompose into an insoluble brown mass. (Yes, straight from the textbook.)
