    Hot Outside
In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of using a hot suit to safely jump into the ocean from a crashing airplane. It is suggested that the suit may not be effective in preventing injury due to the relatively high specific heat of water. It is also mentioned that the suit would need to have an extremely high temperature to make a significant impact on water density. The conversation concludes with the reminder that ideas should always be tested through experimentation.

If their was a suit that was able to stay hot on the outside of it, and you had no choice but to jump off an airplace that was about to crash and you were flying over the ocean. Would you be safe to jump into the ocean without breaking anybones because this suit was able to stay hot. I think so. Because if you heat up a fluid it becomes less dense. Just say magically that this suit doesn't burn you when you put it on, but say it some how stays hot very hot on the surface of it. Ideally say that it doesn't change temperature while falling from a plane. I think you would be safe.

Zombie Feynman says, "Ideas are tested by experiment."

However, I think it probably depends on how hot the suit is. Unless the suit was extremely hot, it would probably not have much impact on the height that you are able to dive into water without incurring injury. This is because water has a relatively high specific heat, which means that its temperature will not change rapidly enough for the change in density of the water to be of much use to you.

Unless you are going to postulate that this suit has some ridiculously high temperature, then it will take some time to heat up the water. You would still 'crash". And if the temperature were high enough to heat it really, really fast, you would probably get a flash boil and just crash into the bottom of the ocean!
 

Related to If their was a suit that was able to stay hot on the outside of it,

1. How does the suit stay hot on the outside?

The suit is made of a special material that is able to retain heat on the outside. It is designed to trap heat and prevent it from escaping, keeping the surface of the suit warm.

2. What is the purpose of a suit that stays hot on the outside?

This type of suit could have a variety of purposes, such as keeping the wearer warm in cold environments or serving as a protective layer in extreme temperatures.

3. Is the suit safe to wear?

Yes, the suit is designed to be safe for the wearer. The material used is non-toxic and does not emit harmful fumes or radiation.

4. How long can the suit stay hot on the outside?

The duration for which the suit stays hot on the outside can vary depending on factors such as the surrounding temperature and the material used in the suit. Further testing and research would need to be conducted to determine the specific time frame.

5. Can the suit be controlled to adjust the temperature on the outside?

It is possible for the suit to be controlled to adjust the temperature on the outside. This could potentially be achieved through a heating mechanism or by using a special fabric that can regulate heat. However, this would require further development and testing.
