Experiment Shows People Can Hear the Difference Between Hot and Cold Water.

Trending Now

It has been proven through an experiment that people can discern the difference between hot and cold water when it is being poured.

There are various small details in this world that you just know, even if you are not aware of how you know them. One of these things is the sound of whether it's cold or hot water being poured.

People can hear this subtle difference, which can determine whether to put a teabag in or drink the water immediately.

It's Easy To Make

If you're skeptical about this, don't worry, there's a simple experiment you can do right now to prove that you can really hear the difference.

First, you'll want to be in a reasonably quiet place where you can hear clearly without distractions.

A TikToker named @curedeggyolk conducted this fun experiment on TikTok, where he filled two glasses with water, one hot and one cold.

He then challenged people to close their eyes and just listen to the different sounds they made while being poured, without telling the audience which they had just heard.

Instead, he suggested that they watch the video again with their eyes open to see the answers.

This experiment only works if you don't look, so listen to the sound of the water being poured and think about whether you have just heard the glass with hot or cold water being emptied.

As of writing, the video has amassed over 25 million views, educating many on this piece of information.
