it actually is the same temp as the sun for a slight moment

​@@linuspriceYou can't say that without giving sources. Sounds amazing but unreal. And do you mean surface temperature or inner temperature?

Imagine if you put it under ultraviolet.

@@mooncake2689yeah he’s making it up. This is an active area of research. The kinetic energy being released from the impact between the two spheres results in the excitation of atoms and molecules. Once the electrons return to their original energy levels, they release the excess energy in the form of light, which is the flash we see. There’s nothing to suggest that there is extreme temperature associated with the flash.

​@ethandrew7319 it's triboluminescence. Same effect when you crack open a Wint-O-Green between your teeth in the dark. The other guy was probably getting confused with a cavitation shock which can reach temperatures approximating the surface of the sun (~5100°K).

This is the comment we scrolled for, thanks!

The question I wanted an answer for!

Wasn't sure if it was just the energy of the collision, or if the glass was acting like a piezoelectric

​@@joejoemyoits just the energy, glass can't be piezoelectric because that requires a non-centrosymmetric crystalline structure which glass doesn't have. Quartz balls would be piezoelectric tho, the flash would be pretty gnarly as well i imagine

Thank u , i scrolled all the way till here for u air , really appreciate that

I was able to pause the video at the exact moment you see the light. Screenshot!

Tis plasma

@@senorpapasfritasconqueso tis it? Tis it reeeaally...? lol

@@senorpapasfritasconquesoplasma? Why do you think that?

@@TheSharker at the moment the balls collide, they create a shock wave that travels away from the point of impact to the ends of either ball, then bounces back and meets again in the middle. The wave carries a huge amount of energy from the impact and all of that energy meets at that single collision point before the balls have even separated. The glass shatters from the shock wave and the energy from that wave heats up the matter at the collision point so fiercely, it sublimates the glass into a gas and ionizes that gas, turning into plasma and emitting light.

Your point? 😂

I just came to say this. That was awesome!

Even crazier man. Look up sonoiluminescence. It’s not understood why but when you collapse an air bubble with intense vibration under water light is produced.

directly from Wikipedia but yes, thanks for bringing us the info nevertheless 👍

I am pretty sure the spark is made by the extreme heat caused by the compression of air between the two very small points of impact on the glass spheres. The same principle was demonstrated in a Steve Mould video, but he was using two metal balls and they created the same spark between them. Triboluminescence is typically blue in color and would be very hard to film in daylight with a high speed camera. I believe what you are primarily seeing is simply air being heated up to an extreme temperature at a very small point. Also, when you copy-paste something from wikipedia, please site your source.

@@kurtkurtson9111 if you ever hit two pieces of quartz together, the triboluminescence that happens is very much yellow. It’s also very bright. I’m gonna guess the colour of the light is specific to the electron configuration of the material.

It looks like a galaxy collision 🔥

exactly on the contrary.. you're ignoring all the _gravity_ pulling all the mass together.. lot of particles will move in towards each other, instead of falling 👇🏼 down

If you stop at the right time it's basically two transparent planets colliding. Amazing.

If the planets are similar sizes, yeah... but if one is significantly bigger than the other, the smaller one will generally just disintegrate on its way in, and you end up with a ring of debris. See Saturn for a notable example.

@@dyldogpopularizing science it’s called

What is CERN

The kinetic impact is so intense that the heat produced literally makes it produce light

​@@AlbySilly It could also be triboluminescence? The crystal lattice breaking releases free electrons that produce light upon dropping energy levels

​@@AlbySillyas opposed to figuratively?

Rub two pieces of quartz together. Figure it out. Piezoelectric.

Basically if you impact two crystals like that beyond their structure the energy that comes from breaking it makes light, not like in a tap way but more or less two hammers with diamonds on the end type of deal. If only it were darker

So much energy into such a small point of contact!

even at 10k FPS that was nearly imperceptible. without slo-mo, we'd never learn these things.. makes me also want other detectors, beyond visible spectrum + shockwave

You'd think so, but you can do this with nothing more than two stainless steel balls and your hands. Vsauce has a video about it

The theme for my 8th grade science class is “It’s all about energy.”

i get bored of the 4 over enthused fellas after once.

That energy has to go somewhere. It’s a really cool demonstration of how extreme opposite forces interact and what happens to all the kinetic energy. Kinetic energy converted to heat and light

I was going to ask what made that light appear but thankfully you answered. Cheers mate

@@urielarista7432look up Fractoluminescence.

Yep energy is never created nor destroyed it is only transferred from one medium to the next

You can do the same experiment with two metal balls and a piece of paper. If you hit the balls together between the paper it will leave a small burn hole.

@@Mclovintit I just really like physics and in most of the animations they make in videos about planetary collisions that's exactly what it looks like. It's mostly the fact that, when the spheres explode, all the shards get thrown off in a line tangential to the collision site.

Instant lava

Piezoelectric effect

​@@evo.spartan Glass isn't piezoelectric though, wdym

Two solid spheres colliding on a very small point at high velocity generates a significant amount of energy.
