Bubbles fusion

When the bubble meets with another, the credit issue is still assembled parts and compromise (humans can learn a lot of bubbles.) Since bubbles always try to minimize the surface bubbles combine to share a common wall. If the bubbles are the same size as the bubbles on the left, the wall will be flat. If the bubbles are different sizes, the smaller bubble, which has always a greater internal pressure, will project into the larger bubble.

Regardless of the relative size of the bubbles meet at a common wall with an angle of 120 degrees. This is easy to see the bubble on the right. All the bubbles come together in half an angle of 120 degrees. Although the arithmetic shows that are not covered by this editorial, to 120 degrees rule always to keep even complex collections such as bubbles of foam.


If you take a plate of transparent glass or plastic separated by about a half inch, soak them in soapy water and then blow bubbles between the plates, you'll have plenty of walls of bubbles. If you look closely you will notice that all the nodes where the bubble walls meet (and there always) form angles of 120 degrees. If your bubbles are of uniform size, you will notice that the cells form hexagons and begins to look a little like the cells of a beehive. Bees, like bubbles, try to be as efficient as possible by the comb. They need to use the maximum possible amount of wax to do the job. Hexagonal cells are the ticket.
