SHINJI:“You mean you couldn't read
the questions in Japanese?”
ASUKA:“Right, I haven't learned all
the Chinese characters yet.
We didn't study it in college over there.”
SHINJI:“College?”
ASUKA:“Oh, I graduated last year.
So, what does this one say?”
SHINJI:“It's about thermal expansion.”
ASUKA:“Thermal expansion? That's kid stuff!
To put it simply,
things expand when they get hot,
and shrink when they get cold.”
Mr. Tines: Chekov's gun is loaded. And the topic was first year (rising 12 years old) highschool physics back when I did it.
UrsusArctos: Can't remember if it was 6th grade or 7th grade when I was first taught the topic, but that sounds about right.
thewayneiac: The only time I got an "A" for the semester in anything science related was the semester we learned this. It was just algebra, and I was good at algebra. They'd give us the element, plus two of three of temperature, pressure, and volume, and have us solve for the missing factor.
