The SAT Question That Everyone Got Wrong - Part 1

In 1982, there was one SAT question that every single student got wrong.

Here it is.

In the figure above, the radius of circle A is 1/3 the radius of circle B. Starting from the position shown in the figure, circle A rolls around circle B. At the end of how many revolutions of circle A will the centre of the circle first reach its starting point.

Is it:
A) 3/2
B) 3
C) 6
D) 9/2
E) 9

SAT Questions are designed to be quick. This exam gave students 30 minutes to solve 25 problems, so about a minute each.

So feel free to pause the video here and try to solve it.

Why It Was Almost Impossible To Make The Blue LED - Part 1

LEDs don’t get their color from their plastic covers. And you can see that because here is a transparent LED that also glows the same red color.

The color of the light comes from the electronics themselves. The casing just helps us tell different LEDs apart.

In 1962, general Electric engineer Nick Holonyak created the first visible LED. It glowed a faint red. A few years after that, engineers at Monsanto created a green LED.

But for decades, all we had were those two colors. So LEDs could only be used in things like indicators, calculators, and watches.

If only we could make blue, then we could mix red, green, and blue to make white, and every other color, unlocking LEDs for every type of lighting in the world, from light bulbs, to phones, to computers, to TVs to billboards.

But blue was almost impossible to make.

I waterproofed myself in aerogel!

What is Aerogel?

Aerogels are the world’s lightest (least dense) solids. They are also excellent thermal insulators and have been used in numerous Mars missions and the Stardust comet particle-return mission.

How was it created?

Back in 1931, a guy named Professor Samuel Kistler had a bet with his colleague Charles Learned. Now the bet revolved around jellies, like peanut-butter-and-jelly jellies.

Now the thing about jellies is they are actually a combination of liquids and solids. I mean, they’re mostly liquid, but it’s embedded within this 3D solid structure. So if you think of a gel, like jello, has a skeleton with nano-sized pores that gives it its rigidity, and then that’s about 1% of the gel.

So the bet was this:

Could you remove the liquid from the jelly? Without affecting the solid structure? I mean, if you just evaporate the liquid out, well, then the solid structure shrinks, because as you remove liquid molecules, they pull on each other, and they pull on the solid structure around them, basically crumpling it from the inside.

Now Samuel Kistler solved this problem in two ways. First, he realized you could replace one liquid with another inside the jelly just by washing it thoroughly. So you could swap out, say, water, for alcohol. And then, if you take the jelly and put it in a high-pressure vessel called a autoclave, by heating it to the high-temperature, high-pressure point called the critical point of the liquid, that liquid transformed into a semi-liquid, semi-gas called a supercritical fluid.

At this point, there is no longer a distinction between liquid and gas. Those molecules are no longer pulling on each other.

So once you’ve depressurized the vessel, that solid skeleton, that 1% of the mass of the gel, is left behind intact, except for where there was liquid in the pores before is now gas, and that solid skeleton, that nano porous solid is what we call aerogel.
