So I assume that means uniformly heating up the metal doesn't have to be done.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

That energy wouldn't need to be done.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026
