What happens if you let go of a helium balloon? Where does

ballon heavan

It goes really high up in the sky until it reaches equillibrium. It wont escape the atmosphere, itll travel maybe 10 miles up. Then, as the pressure and temp drops, the helium will escape rapidly and the balloon will come right back down.

i like this response better :3

>>8009347
So how far away from its original location do you figure it would be when it came back down?

>>8009358
1 light-years

>>8009358
Could be hundreds and hundreds of miles with the gulf streams and winds pushing it around so high up there.
However, I always thought it was the case that the balloon bursts when the pressure on the outside becomes too low.

>>8009362
No, .01 Light-Seconds at most.

What's it like in ballon heavan?

It goes high up, but as air pressure decreases outside the balloon the internal volume increases, causing it to rupture.

don't tell me the balloon dies just from doing what it's designed to do..

>>8009529
You do it too.

>>8009529
Eventually everything dies just from doing what it's designed to do. Even with proper care it will eventually stop working due to wear and tear from doing it's destined tasks.

What about when technology advances and I can either become a cyborg or upload my brain into the internet

>>8009542
every time you copy there's a small chance of corrupting your data
i guess...

ITT, a bunch of "scientists"
it goes to Mars

>>8009645
does that mean my baloon will go to mars

>>8009647
>he never learned how the brave little toaster went to mars

niggers steal it

Thats why i said "helium escapes rapidly" :)

>>8009630
Why not transfer your consciousness into a cyborg balloon?

>>8009526
Also, the frigid temperatures don't allow the rubber to expand, instead shrinking it, causing tears and ruptures.

But the balloon soul, or the helium, is released slowly into space.
