My First Post
May 31, 2007 on 7:27 pm | In Contemplation | | Rift I have found that towards the end of the working day (for me, usually around 2pm) my brain starts to overheat and slosh around the inside of my skull. I have theorized that, due to an over active imagination and other forces outside my control, my head is overheating and melting the fat that protects my brain from the outside world.
Given the fact that my body temperature is around *37 degrees Celsius and the melting point of adipose tissue (bodily fat) is on average *227 degrees Celsius, I can deduce that in the 8 hours that I have been using my brain (the day beginning at 6am when I wake), its temperature has increased by **190 degrees Celsius, a rate of **23 degrees per hour. The boiling point of said tissue is, on average, around *2300 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, if my brain continues to produce such heat while in use (i.e. during waking hours) it would take a little under **100 hours of conscious thought to bring the fluids in my head to a boil. Considering that gases take up much more room than liquids, if I were to remain awake for more than **4 days my head would explode.
I realize that there may be a few flaws in my reasoning (albeit minor ones), but I submit it for peer review none the less.
* References?!
** Show working!
