1) when you open a bottle of soda, what is the visible vapor that is immediately seen and how is it formed?

2) when you cook a hot dog in a microwave, why does it split lengthwise along the length of the hot dog instead of many splits around the circumference?

ask him to explain it in physics terms

Ask him about the toxicity of Aluminum in humans. How aluminum interacts with the various proteins within the human body. If and how aluminum is related to any specific diseases, especially Alzheimer's.

I work with this guy who will not use anti-perspirants, (or any household product) which contains aluminum.
