The Shocking Revelation of Why Raindrops Are Mathematically Impossible

There are lots of physics going on in raindrops: cohesion, adhesion, air resistance – I mean, falling raindrops often look more like jellyfish than teardrops. 

But conceivably most engaging is the physics that makes raindrops unlikely. You might think making a raindrop is a piece of cake. 

Just cool water vapour in the air past its condensation point, and it condenses into liquid droplets, right? 

What is Raindrop?

A raindrop is a single deposit of rain that is flattened on the bottom and with a curvy top. Its falls through the atmosphere.

It falls with a vigour speed because of the airflow below and above. They're a result of an ice crystal that falls from the cloud.

The Big Problem

But there’s a big obstacle position, relatively straight, in the way: the exterior of the droplets themselves. That is liquids hate surfaces. 

They're obliged by the laws of intermolecular temptation to pull collectively in an attempt to minimize the size of their surfaces. 

That’s why small rainwater droplets are globular, why you can put a huge volume of water on a penny, and why bubbles form the crazy shapes they do. The special style of stating this is that exteriors require more free energy to make than volumes. 

The Physical Example

For example, when you’re condensing water in saturated air from a gas to a liquid, every cubic centimetre volume of water you make releases energy just from its change of volume and pressure. 

Bumpily sufficient to lift an apple a meter into the sky. But to make each square centimetre of the surface of that water requires an input of energy. 

Input Of Energy

Not much, but it's equivalent to lifting a fortune cookie fortune 1 centimetre. For massive volumes of water, the power you get from the volume, which is proportionate to the radius cubed, is more than sufficient to make up for the power cost due to the surface area. 

Which is proportional to the radius squared. Cubing tends to make things bigger than squaring. But for especially small radii, the reverse is true – cubing a small quantity makes it smaller than squaring it. 

The Unavoidable Mathematical Truth

This unavoidable mathematical truth means that if a water droplet is below a certain size, then making it bigger requires more surface area energy than is released from volume energy. 

Meaning it takes energy for the droplet to grow, so it doesn’t – it shrinks. For pure cubic and quadratic functions, this equivalence point happens at 2/3. 

That’s when x^3 starts growing faster than x^2, but for water droplets, it’s somewhere around a few million molecules; way too many to randomly clump together in less than the age of the universe! 

And thus, raindrops are improbable for the accurate mathematical evidence that x squared grows faster than x cubed – for small numbers. 

Ok, so certainly raindrops exist, but if you want to understand how they sidestep this battle between quadratics and cubics.

  2. You changed my perspective of viewing raindrops. From now i will see them as a jelly fish falling from sky 😉!
