For the undying 9/11 MORONIC JET FUEL ARGUMENT
It doesn't take a whole lot of fancy learnin' and figurin' on the back of an envelope (like Grandpa used to do) to prove that steel softens long before it melts.
We've highlighted the phase diagram of steel, our iron wire demonstration, and even the downfall of the World Trade Center (as the above video references). All three of these posts discus the phase change that takes place around 910C from body-centered cubic (not very workable) to face-centered cubic (far more workable as shown above at 1:45). In the above video, he does the same but using Fahrenheit references.
Theory is all well and good, but proof this succinct and effective is brilliant.
We're going to have to adopt the 'glowing hot rod' drop instead of a mic drop now.
I will warn you that he uses the word retarded at about 0:39. It's not exactly a vulgar word, but it's one that we should probably avoid in our classroom.
