Yeah Oh On more science All right here we go

00:08

Students recreating Hirsch ALS experiment performed their study during the

00:12

hottest time in the day A student missed class and

00:15

was told by the teacher to perform the experiment later

00:18

that afternoon Well what will happen The mystery What Why

00:25

did Herschel place the thermometer in a box anyway All

00:29

because we're told it helps limit the range of temperatures

00:32

That thermometer will sense In other words the experiment might

00:36

be affected if there weren't Will say Ah scientist breathing

00:40

all over one part of the spectrum You like Darth

00:44

Trust your shmoop ng You know like that Well the

00:47

student would be using a box of his own but

00:49

it would be later During the day We'll the ambient

00:52

air temperature than would be cooler But the science and

00:55

physics well they'll remain valid Still fundamental laws of physics

01:00

don't just change over the course of a few hours

01:02

And if they did Well let's just say it would

01:04

be pretty difficult to get anything done Certainly run here

01:07

So that's it The answer is the temperatures will be

01:10

lower but the trends will all be about the same
