To hell with correct terms! Just call them [color="steelblue"]glass semi-spheres of glowiness.[/color]

And I'm not sure if I'm right (although, damnit, I should know this!), but they burn out, most likely, because the tungsten (they still use it, don't they?) in the incandescent [color="steelblue"]glass semi-spheres of glowiness[/color] gets burned up... or melted... vaporized... liquidated.... one of those colorful little terms.


You are absolutely correct! We do still use it, although we will run out in 40 years. And I think it vaporizes.

One more thing- I challenge you to make a lightbulb glow when the glass is broken. I bet you $100 that you can't do it.

atach a battery to the glass semi-spheres of glowiness, break the glass, stick the glass semi-spheres of glowiness and battery in a glass jar, put a lit match in, and put the lid on the jar, wait for the flame to die, and the light bulb will be on.^_^ cus see, the fillement in the glass semi-spheres of glowiness will only glow in a vacume.^_^

All you doing is replacing the oxygen with carbon dioxide.

So then its not a vacuum. Vacuums are things that make a lot of noise and suck stuff up.

No, to make a vacume you need a pump, a cord, a light (optional), a bag, and some other stuff.

Edit: You also need an plug and a place to plug it in.

Vacuums aren't just something that sucks stuff up. A vacuum is an absense of any kind of gas or atmostphere. A vacuum doesn't have to be sucking to be a vacuum. (And if you wanna get even more technical, a vacuum doesn't suck stuff up, other stuff pushes it's way in.)

So then, why are the semi glowing spheres of light, in outer space, encased in glass?

I know what a vacuum is, I was just messing with him. I make something similar with glass jars. I get the jar really hot (so the air expands) then put a lid on it (let it contract agian) and then you have a slightly less presserised glass bottle.
