I always thought the use of water was purely to stop the fire spreading as it dampens those bits that weren’t burning stopping the fire spreading and letting it burn out.

The only reason it actually puts the flame out is the same principle as removing the oxygen as a large jet of water is displacing the air.

I also don’t think the water could realistically reduce the temperature just look back to the oil fields burning in the Gulf War. Once the fire was put out the oil would re-ignite if the water was removed due to the intense heat.

As for something that will remove the heat try liquid nitrogen 😀

I’d like to be a pioneering astronaught that flies to distant galaxies and finds whole planets full of ancients structures belonging to alien races… there’s got to be a film or a series of books in this 😀

“Have you ever needed someone so bad” by Def Leppard has particular relevance in my life at the moment 🙁

Rubbish Johnny Depp is best male

precisely. You are not the only one who believes that those who say we must be alone because nowhere else can support life are idiots. Nowhere else can support OXYGEN-BREATHING life, maybe, but how about methane breathers, or for that matter lifeforms that dont breathe? (you never know)

its obvious that theres got to be life out there somewhere. The thing that really gets my imagination working is the opening to starwars: “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…” That conjures up huge scope your imagination to run riot… there could have been a million civiliations on countless worlds in galaxies we can’t even see that have gone, seen and conquered, lived a glorius existance and long since died for all we know.
