Heheh, I was wondering if you meant the non-sun one, but you asked for the closest

.

Why will a piece of wire/metal eventually break if it is bent repeatedly?

Because everytime you bend it the atoms become further and further apart eventually separating it?

Because each time you bend it back and forth, you're stretching it past its elastic limit, which fractures it. Simply gets worse the more times you do it.

*shrug* I -think- that was all there was to it xD

Empty sig is empty.

Eh... sort of. The fracture part is important. Think about structure.

Bleh, I really should know this but my memory is pretty vague currently. I'll have to think on it.

I think we'll let Rat have it

. What I was looking for is when metal is bent, it's crystalline structure becomes more and more regular, eventually becoming regular enough to be brittle and fracture.

(AKA work hardening when it's done on purpose (but not to the breaking point) to make it keep its shape [better]. Also why you can pinch wire slightly with a cutter and then get a clean break.)

Curse my AWOLness...I knew the answer to that one

Feed the plushie!
(Rayquaza plushie? WTF? It doesn't look anything like the other plushies!)

Through our bleeding we are one.

I knew I'd learnt it twice (In both Chem and Physics) but I couldn't quite recall the proper terms to use. Then I got lazy and forgot to check the topic later, or look up the proper terms.

Ratty, hurry up and post a new one, perhaps something in the field of Physics? I've got an infinite line of "Charge!" here for you if that'll help.

I apologize opunly for that.

AH NO! NOT MORE PHYSICS!! *ahem*

And yes, -two- bad jokes *baps Goto*

I understand physics more than I do Zoo's zoology questions... Which still isn't much.

Zoo is pretty much a science all-star, she can always answer them.

Unlike him, isn't it.

Next time I catch him on MSN I'll mention it.
