SYSK Selects: How Fire Works

In this episode, Josh and Chuck break down the fascinating chemistry and physics behind how fire actually works, going way beyond just striking a match. They explore the chemical reactions that occur when fuel meets oxygen, explain why flames burn upward and glow different colors depending on temperature, and dive into some pretty cool facts like how fire produces water and what would happen if you lit a fire in zero gravity. Along the way, they share some wild stories about deadly hotel fires caused by poor safety practices and throw in some entertaining listener mail about one woman's year-long battle with her partner's aggressively loud bad to the bone alarm clock.
