    I’m no lavatorial expert, but I’d guess the thermal conductivity of lava is relatively low. The high temp and high mass will keep it warm for a while, but water has a pretty high conductivity and capacity on its own. The agitation is distributing the heat too, well beyond the regular convection rate.

    I would guess.

      I’m not thinking that “lavatorial” is the correct word.

      That conjures “lavatory”, which is something different.

      For the science, yeah, more than enough water to cool the lava.

      That’s just my experience. If someone does the math, I’ll love them.

        If you replace the lava* with shit, the phrase still makes sense and is accurate

        Do what math? I honestly don’t know what you guy’s actually expect it to look like, so I don’t know where to start explaining.

          Seriously? The lava in water math.

          It’s high school stuff if you bother to look up the specific heat and make some reasonable guesses.

              No it’s not. Google specific heat of lava. Shit’s been done already.

              And not just for academics. Even Randall Monroe. He’s smart, but he’s not an academic.

                Mate, I model thermal processes for a living. The question is: What is the question? What to calculate? What expectations are there to (dis)proof?

                  Bruh. Someone else on this thread has already clarified to you the easy and what I was expecting question: what happens to the water and lava in the water bucket.

                  You already answered that question in this thread.

                    “Bruh”, everyone knows what happens, we are looking at it in the video. Lava gets cold, water hot. Obviously. There is not much to go on about.
