A very weird experience

SophieM, 22 October, 2008 at 14:40 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 12

Just filled up an empty water bottle from the water machine. It dispenses boiling and cold water, and I like water room temperature so used a mixture. But obviously the hot water didn't sink down and mix witht he cold, so I got to drink water that had distinct hot and cold bits. Most interesting. ?

Do I need to get out more?

    Your need to get out more is probably far less than the scientists who will dive in with a rational explanation for this phenomenon ?

    Either that or just shake the bottle to mix it up ?

    Take it as read that I never get out.

    Put the hot water in first and then the cold so the cold sinks, or just wait a minute anyways as they'll eventually equiliberate

    or, as someone practical said, shake the bottle!

    ? It's taking a long time to mix actually - about 15 minutes after pouring it's still in two distinct layers.

    Not really, unless Mrs Baron comes home and asks why the food colouring is out!

    Cheers for that, I understand now!
