Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,French fries are delicious.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,French fries with ketchup are a little slice of heaven.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The problem is it's basically impossible
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to pour the exactly right amount.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're so used to pouring ketchup that we don't realize
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how weird its behavior is.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Imagine a ketchup bottle filled with a straight up solid like steel.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No amount of shaking would ever get the steel out.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now imagine that same bottle full of a liquid like water.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That would pour like a dream.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ketchup, though, can't seem to make up its mind.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is it is a solid? Or a liquid?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The answer is, it depends.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The world's most common liquids like water, oils and alcohols
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,respond to force linearly.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you push on them twice as hard, they move twice as fast.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sir Isaac Newton, of apple fame, first proposed this relationship,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so those fluids are called Newtonian fluids.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ketchup, though, is part of a merry band of linear rule breakers
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called Non-Newtonian fluids.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mayonnaise, toothpaste, blood, pain, peanut butter
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and lots of other fluids respond to force non-linearly.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is, their apparent thickness changes
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,depending on how hard you push, or how long, or how fast.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And ketchup is actually Non-Newtonian in two different ways.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Way number one: the harder you push, the thinner ketchup seems to get.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Below a certain pushing force,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ketchup basically behaves like a solid.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But once you pass that breaking point,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it switches gears and becomes a thousand times thinner than it was before.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sound familiar right?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Way number two: if you push with a force below the threshold force
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eventually, the ketchup will start to flow.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this case, time, not force, is they key to releasing ketchup
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from its glassy prison.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright, so, why does ketchup act all weird?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it's made from tomatoes, pulverized, smashed, thrashed
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,utterly destroyed tomatoes.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See these tiny particles?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what remains of tomatoes
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after they go through the ketchup treatment.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the liquid around those particles?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's mostly water and some vinegar, sugar, and spices.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When ketchup is just sitting around,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the tomato particles are evenly and randomly distributed.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, let's say you apply a week force very quickly.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The particles bump into each other,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but can't get out of each other's way,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so the ketchup doesn't flow.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, let's say you apply a strong force very quickly.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That extra force is enough to squish the tomato particles,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so maybe instead of little spheres,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they get smushed into little ellipses, and boom!
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now you have enough space for one group of particles
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get passed others and the ketchup flows.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now let's say you apply a very weak force for a very long time.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Turns out, we're not exactly sure what happens in this scenario.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One possibility is that the tomato particles near the walls of the container
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,slowly get bumped towards the middle,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leaving the soup they were dissolved in,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which remember is basically water,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,near the edges.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That water serves as a lubricant betwen the glass bottle
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the center plug of ketchup,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so the ketchup flows.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another possibility is that the particles slowly rearrange themselves
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into lots of small groups, which then flow past each other.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Scientists who study fluid flows are still actively researching
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how ketchup and its merry friends work.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ketchup basically gets thinner the harder you push,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but other substances like oobleck or some natural peanut butters
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually get thicker the harder you push.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Others can climb up rotating rods,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or continue to pour themselves out of a beeker,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once you get them started.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,From a physics perspective, though,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ketchup is one of the more complicated mixtures out there.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as if that weren't enough, the balance of ingredients
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the presence of natural thickeners like xanthan gum,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is also found in many fruit drinks and milkshakes,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can mean that two different ketchups
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can behave completely differently.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But most will show two telltale properties:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sudden thinning at a threshold force,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more gradual thinning after a small force
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is applied for a long time.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that means you could get ketchup out of the bottle in two ways.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Either give it a series of long, slow languid shakes
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making sure you don't ever stop applying force,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you could hit the bottle once very, very hard.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What the real pros do is keep the lid on,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,give the bottle a few short, sharp shakes
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to wake up all those tomato particles,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then take the lid off
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and do a nice controlled pour onto their heavenly fries.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,
