Today was the most walking I have ever done. But besides that point, let us continue on our journey. Today, we were able to visit the LAPD, what it stands for I have no idea.
This place has got to be the coolest thing ever. First, we checked out the smaller of the two machines. By looking at this one, it was UNINSPIRING. Literally, my hopes were all up because plasma was a BIG thing. I’ve read about it in a semi sci-fi novel named Alex Rider. Of course it was unrealistic in the fact that he was able to put on a suit and swim in plasma, but I still had hopes.
Personally, I thought plasma would be a liquid. Yet that would be ironic becasue plasma cannot be a liquid. Plasma is an entirely different class from liquids and I suppose you can say that it is a different state of matter.
Analyzing plasma, It was the weirdest thing. The best thing I can explain it with is comparing it to a laser. Becasue plasma is too hot, the plasma can only be left on flashing. They will melt the machine itself if they keep the pasma on. By only seeing this example of plasma, I have extreme trouble understanding what plasma truly is. Plasma has the ability to melt metal and has the ability to travel so fast that it can look misleading. Yet that is all the information I know about plasma. To put it in basic terms, all i know about plasma is that its quick, glows, and melts metal. Looking up from wikipedia plasma is, “a partially ionized gas, in which a certain proportion of electrons are free rather than being bound to an atom or molecule”. Basically, plasma is something that I have never seen before.
