Today I Learned:
1) The ergodic hypothesis in statistical mechanics states that, roughly, all of the microstates of a system with the same energy are equally probable over a long enough time span. It also seems to say that the average of a measurement of the system (say, its temperature or its pressure) is the same over time as it is for the states. I'm not sure the relationship between these two statements.
2) Rice noodles perform pretty strangely when reheated in a hot pan. When I tried with some soy sauce, I ended up with a solid sheet of slightly pasty crisp lining the pan, though the rest turned out fine.
3) In some of the colder places on the planet, you can freeze bubbles. It's quite beautiful: http://ift.tt/1T6tpkS Also http://ift.tt/1Mba42h
