If you stomach is like the size of your fist how can it hold so much water..or beer?

[TheNinja]

I know it stretches and stuff but I just drank like 42oz of water in around 15 minutes and don't feel full at all, and my mouth is still dry and thirsty. And sometimes you can drink like 3-5 cans of beer in 15 minutes or less no problem. If you look at how much space 42oz of water fills up I just can't fathom how all of that fits in my stomach...I guess it is one of the mysteries of life, like why is grass gree or why is the sky blue.

I've heard that if you want to get hydrated, you need to drink small amounts of water often.

or why a complete stranger would dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know.

It probably gets absorbed in to your body. It just doesn't all stay in one your stomach! I'm just guessing this btw..........

ttt for someone who knows!

Liquids don't need much physical digestion, so they get passed along to the small intestine rather quickly, making room for more.

Size of your fist? WTH? I thought that was your heart, not your stomach. Isn't your stomach more like the size of (looks) 3 fists?

The sky is blue because that happens to be the wavelength that is reflected and not absorbed by the the molecules in the sky.

I know that your fist is roughly the size of your heart. Don't know about the stomach though. The stomach is bigger then a first though.

Actually, because the blue wavelength gets scattered more than the others. It should be closer to violet, but our eyes aren't that sensitive to violet, IIRC.

So your penis is 1/10 of an inch when flaccid.

isn't the sky blue cuz of some prism effect or somethin or the gases in the air? i never paid much attention in psychics

You took Psychics in school?

What am I thinking?

What do you mean it should be closer to violet? We can see violet but I'm thinking the scattered wavelength is more blue-ish then we just see it. If it was more violet-ish we would see that. Ish as the colour isn't just one solid blue colour but varieties of blue's.

He's right, actually.. Blue is scattered the most. Violet actually has a shorter wavelength than blue, so it's scattered even more.. but our eyes are much more sensitive to blue than violet, so we see the sky as blue. There's also roughly 1/3rd to 3/4 more blue than violet light comming off the sun.

I know that things with a shorter wavelength have more energy and travel more. You said Blue is scattered the most. Then you go on to say Violet actually has a shorter wavelength then blue, so it's scattered even more.

How can something be said to scatter the most and then have something scatter more then that?

Some wording wrong? Or?

Just want to clear it up. Been almost 1year since I did any Physics at school. Man that subject was interesting

You, sir, are correct.

 

[BeauJangles]

Koing

Violet light is scattered the most (shine a light through a prism and you will see red on one end of the spectrum and purple on the other (IIRC), that's because Red is hardly effected by the prism, purple is affected most), blue is scattered 2nd most. Thus the sky should be purple, but it's not because our eyes are better adapted to see blue.

The stomach is actually pretty big, maybe like two fists clenched together. Water is absorbed actually very fast through the lining of the stomach and intestine. Think about the time it takes you to pea after drinking a couple of beers. And yes it stretches like a mofo. probably 2-3 times its size. Plus it can get bigger if you consistently eat large meals over a period of years. I would guesstimate that upwards of 20-50% of the volume is absorbed every half hour, unless you've been eating a meal that retains water like pastas or grains. Water will get absorbed faster also if you are undergoing dehydration through sweat or passing. That is why you can guzzle so much gatorade during strenuous activities.
