The highest temperature you can heat the bread is 212 degrees. And that's not hot enough to toast the bread. It's like trying to start a fire with green kindling. You can't. In fact, if you put a green log on an already established fire, the log is not going to ignite. Because the log can't get hotter than the highest temperature that water can get.
What happens if Earth’s core is slowing? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the spinning of Earth’s core, the physics of tire pressure, and the science of toast.
