Fate? Chance? What happens to water as it evaporates?

Have you ever looked at boiling water?

Surely you have, at least I think everyone has boiled an egg at least once in their life, or lifted the teapot to see if the bottom of the tea has boiled. 

Wait, there is something better, we call it an electric teapot or kettle for some reason. Since electricity is a bit expensive nowadays, maybe it doesn't have the old value for many of us, maybe many of you have already put it aside, but most of them are made of glass nowadays, I don't know if there are any plastic ones left, I think most of us prefer glass teapots because glass ones are healthier. You can directly see the water boiling. I think you have at least seen how the water boils in these electric teapots. 

If you haven't done any of that, did you boil a pot of pasta water?

In short, you know how water boils when it boils. It bubbles!

As the bubbles from the bottom rise to the surface, it makes a bubbling sound and the boiling water turns to steam.

If you notice, the fire under the stove actually burns in an orderly manner, or the heaters of the electric teapot give off heat in an orderly manner. 

But in the water there is chaos, the air bubbles are irregular. It boils over and over.

Okay, maybe we can say that it has its own order, but I think you know what I mean. The boiling of the water is not like the fire of the gas burning underneath, or the constant heat given off by electric heaters.

Have you ever thought about why? 

Why does water boil irregularly, like chaos? 

What is the difference from the burning of gas or the heat given off by heaters, why does it boil in a bubbling boil and not in an orderly manner?

In fact, if we light a fire somewhere, the fire burns in an irregular way, like the boiling of water, that is, fluctuating, like chaos. The flame from a wood burning on a stove or in a fireplace also fluctuates and sways left and right. 

By the way, I love to watch fire. Once a friend of mine looked at it, I think they look at your date of birth, and said you are fire. Maybe you know, they divide people into four categories, some are earth, some water, some wind and some fire. And I was fire. I don't know if that's the reason, but I've loved watching fire since I was little. 

Anyway, but I think the wavy burning of the fire is understandable. After all, according to the shape of the wood, because of the difference in temperature between the burning part and the parts that have not yet been touched by fire, the gases coming out of it have different directions of exit and therefore the flame is thrown in different directions, so this is understandable for fire.

But the heat coming from the bottom of the water is constant, and the water molecules are identical in structure, so they have a regular distribution in the container. 

Why can't water boil in an orderly way when it boils? Actually, it's not understandable. 

It bubbles and bubbles! What is the reason for this disorder?

Yes, before answering that, I should say that water is a step in the transition from order to chaos. Water is where life comes alive in the world. It is thought that living things were formed in water and spread around the world. Some, such as dolphins, did not like terrestrial life and returned to the waters. Life is said to have originated at the bottom of the oceans where lava bubbled up and boiled the water. In other words, life came to life in the water in a chaotic environment.

After this brief information, let's try to find an answer to this chaotic shift of water.

In a heated water, at the temperature at which the physical state of the water changes from liquid to gaseous, an air bubble forms. Water vapor bubble. 

As this bubble rises to the surface, it pushes the other water molecules and a movement starts in the water. Already heated water starts to move towards the surface. There is already movement in the water before it starts boiling.

At the bottom of the reservoir, where the heat is first transferred to the water molecules, when the molecules that first absorb the heat expand and turn into bubbles as soon as they physically turn into a gaseous state, they try to open a path to the surface by pushing the molecules that have not yet received that much heat transfer, that is, those molecules now move to the surface by replacing other water molecules, while some molecules take a more advantageous position in terms of heat transfer because they become closer to the heat source. 

In fact, every bubble that makes its way to the surface is a water vapor bubble that is a candidate for creating a disturbance in the water. 

Now, at this stage, we see that bubbles the size of a particle merge with other bubbles on their way to the surface, meaning that some bubbles get bigger and some stay smaller. This is because the small bubbles they encounter on their way will either join another bubble or be repelled and prevented from merging by intervening water molecules that have not yet turned into gas. 

Because these transformations are random, and because the energy level of each molecule in the water is different from the other, and because of the variety of forces acting on the molecules, the ordered environment gradually turns into an environment of chaos. Random movements, whichever one is pushed in which direction, whichever one is under the influence of which force. A chaotic environment is created in the water.

We watch this physical change as bubbling, boiling water. In fact, there is a feverish exchange of energy and the movement of water molecules in different directions.

At this point, another question comes to my mind. 

Okay, a lot of energy transfer and movement in different directions, I get that, but still, couldn't these processes be in order? Why is there a chaotic environment?

The answer is there couldn't be order! Because a water molecule that leaves its place after heating up can only be replaced by another one. A second molecule cannot fit in the same place. Only one of the two molecules that reaches the same place because of the forces on it, that is, the spot vacated by the previous water molecule at that base where heat transfer can be at its maximum, can settle in that empty place, and even then only for a moment, the other one will necessarily be thrown to another place and will almost fight to become vapor by colliding with other molecules. 

The molecule that settles in that spot for a moment, when the necessary heat transfer takes place, will make its way to the surface in a different physical state, that is, as a vapor bubble, just like before.

That momentary struggle for space is the source of chaos. It's either you or the other! There is only one seat! Even if you are in the same force and conditions, only one fills that space. Maybe they roll the dice between them. 

Even Einstein didn't believe in the quantum world, he said God doesn't roll dice, but he was wrong. Some things have to be decided by rolling the dice.

So in a sense, the rules of nature are the cause of chaos. The cause of disorder. Chaos is caused by the struggle for space.

Isn't it the same for us? 

You offer everyone an opportunity on equal terms, but only some people get that opportunity. Whatever the advantages, maybe it really has to be decided by a lottery. 

We call it luck. Maybe he has a chance, maybe he got the chance to use that opportunity in the lottery. 

Luck is the law of nature! 

But it is not fate, it is luck or bad luck. Sometimes it is like that. 

That is what needs to be accepted, luck or bad luck. It is not the plan of fate that needs to be accepted. 

When it comes to that, when it comes down to luck, there is nothing to do.

But there is a lot to be done up to that point!

If you are a student, you will prepare well for life. You will study well. If you are an adult, a mother, a family man, you will not give up, you will continue to struggle. If you are a young woman, you will not give in, you will not say it is bad fate. If you are a young man, you will not give up.

If you are an official, you will do your job well, you will do what you need to do in a planned and smart way, and if there is a measure you need to take, you will take it on time. 

You don't say that this is the nature of the business, it's a journey of fate, what can we do after the dead. If you made a mistake, you will pay for it!

Okay, at that final stage, when there is nothing you can do anymore, when the chaos rules of the universe apply, you may say what can we do, this is it. 

But remember, luck can always smile on you. 

Even if you lose, keep fighting, it might be your turn next time. After all, under enough heat, there is no puddle left in the reservoir, it all evaporates!

This is what was going through my mind today for some reason.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow.
