….What happens when u rapidly cool a hot burning metal?
I heard this line in the fantastic four movie (crappy film) and I have been asking around (my colleagues at least) for the name of that chemical reaction (?) but no one sees to know. I actually wanted to use that name as the topic of my post but too bad, I guess “chemistry 101” would suffice.
Anyway, I can’t really remember my chemistry lessons but I think if u rapidly cool a burning hot metal, it becomes brittle or break or hardened or something like that (please remind me).
For a minute I was a hot burning metal, full of life, jokes, humour and revving it up and then the next I was rapidly cooled. Now don’t ask me what happened cos I won’t tell but that single action almost broke me. Thank God I am not really a metal. I have been “hardened” in the last few days, rarely smiling, not even mixing or hanging out, working my arse off and staying late in the office. As much as I want to be the hot burning metal right now, I think we (maybe just me) all need to be the “hardened” (or is it “rapidly cooled hot metal”) once in a while.
Its worse when u don’t have anyone to talk to and the one person u can talk to is the culprit. Wish I had someone to talk to right now. An advice..? Have more friends who care about you so they can help you go through the “hardened” process.
Now I really wish I was Wolverine so I can heal faster..
