    I’m not sure that I’ll get the English terms wrong but basically heat can move in three ways:

    • By convection, aka liquids and gases moving around when theire heated. Obviously this doesn’t happen in space
    • By conduction, a hot thing thouches a cold one and heat transfers from hot to cold. And, this neither works in space
    • By radiaton. Hot objects radiate heat as electro magnetic waves (ie ligth). This is the only one that works in a vacuum and this process is rather slow. Also this results I the weird phenomenon that good looking people cool down faster in space since their hoter. Therefore we should only recruit bad looking astronauts, but no one seems to have figured that out











  • Most Swedish kids do actually study German, French or Spanish. You can choose not the and read extra English and Swedish instead but that’s mainly done for people already performing poorly in language, people who really don’t need another language but need to master the ones they know. Some schools (including public schools) also let students study two of those languages instead of just one if they wish to. I’m currently studying French and German

    German is weird in more ways, namely word ordering

    Sie dürfen nicht ein Feuerzeug mit ins Flugzeug nehmen

    You’re not allowed to a fire stuff with you in flight stuff bring

    But all languages are weird. Here’s some french for you

    qu’est-ce que c’est?

    I don’t have the knowledge needed to translate this properly but it’s something like “wh’is-at what that is” (its the way they say “what is that”)

    And Swedish, my native language

    I eftermiddags åt jag jordgubbar. Nu ska jag äta middag.

    This after middle day ate i soil old men. Now I’m going to eat middle day. (This afternoon I ate strawberrys. Now I’m going to eat dinner)

    Given that Swedish is my native language I’d also like to inform you that the English word “smorgasbord” is completely ridiculous. It’s literally just the Swedish word “smörgåsdsbord” but without å and ö, so it’s pronounced completely wrong. The word smörgås is however also a bit weird, it literally means “butter goose”. So your English word smorgasbord means “butter goose table”. Also window means wind eye, it’s the old Swedish word “vindöga”
