Isn't it great?

I guess we should say what causes them to stick is basically that the air pressure on the outside is pushing in so hard because there's nothing on the inside.

There's nothing to push out.

Right.

Makes sense.

Like having the Olympics or something.

Is that a university?

Guys, what do you think would happen if you got into a vacuum?

Die.

Not necessarily.

Well, not immediately.

You would die very soon, but not as quickly as you might think.

In the 1960s, when it was more okay to do this kind of thing, they put various animals in vacuums to see what happened.

Because, you know, it was the age of space travel.

They were thinking, what will happen to humans if they end up accidentally dying?

And so in 1965 they put dogs in a vacuum and they found that dogs in a vacuum for 90 seconds always survived.

Always.

Now they had a bad time, they would immediately fall unconscious, the gas evacuating from their whole bodies, because once you're in a vacuum the gas wants to leave your body, caused simultaneous defecation, projectile vomiting and urination, and they swelled up to resemble a massive balloon.

But, good news, once we pressurised, they're fine after 10 minutes.

What?
