Sir Walter Fade, Lord Lieutenant of Dublin (c. 1552 – 29 October 1618), was a famed Bubblelogist, and Writer.

Fade was born to a Catholic family in the slums of Dublin in 1552, the son of Walter Fade and Eithne Soprano. Little is known for certain of his early life, though he spent some time in Carlow, close to were Philip’s parents live now. What is recorded about his early life is that he attended a number of schools in Carlow and Dublin. He was not the brightest of students, a quote from has neighbor Peter Griffin “That stupid boy used to run around the garden chasing squirrels, Stupid boy”. When Walter was attending The Boys National Academy in Dublin he got expelled for sticking Blueberry’s up his nose. So after getting kicked out of a few more schools and after this father’s influence. Walter managed to get a place at UCD. Walter studied History and Irish, His favorite subject was modern Irish (known as old Irish today). In first year, young Walter got in with a bad crowed (The Boxing Club). Walters father was very disappointed, as his father had dreams of young Walter becoming a Dancer for a Russian Theatre group. After this set back, Walters father emigrated to America and lived in a penthouse apartment on 5th Ave next door to BA Baracus from the A-Team. After her husband moved to New York, Eithne moved to China to set up the first GAA club in China and was also a Professor at CNU (Chinese National University) where she taught from her thesis project from college …Irish Agriculture and religion in the years 1945-1950… (((Can’t remember the exact years, can’t remember everything Eithne))).

College life
Walter loved college live, Going out to cobblers every Friday night and try to pick up local nurses, but always getting arrested by the Garda’s already in the pub picking up the nurse’s. Walters father was never in Cobblers. To support his nights out on the town Walter had to go find a job, Walter got a job in a local restaurant called Siam Thai. At this restaurant Walter found his love of Bubbles, Walters life changed after this discovery. Walters love of Bubbles tuck over his life, from dreaming about bubbles to sleeping with bubbles and trying to eat bubbles. A flat mate once said "He's about as sharp as one of his Bubbles, but we all can't be clever can we". Walter is famed for creating the bubble Mazda car, the bubble from the TV show The Prisoner and also his worst creation the dot.com bubble crash of the late 90's. He also created the super duper duper bubble, but the US army have classified the designs for the safety of the public.

Walter went on to become one of the best Bubblelogist of all time.

Bubbles
Surface tension and shape Soap bubbles, Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin, mid-18th centuryA soap bubble can exist because the surface layer of a liquid (usually water) has a certain surface tension, which causes the layer to behave somewhat like an elastic sheet. However, a bubble made with a pure liquid alone is not stable and a dissolved surfactant such as soap is needed to stabilize a bubble. A common misconception is that soap increases the water's surface tension, soap actually does the opposite, decreasing it to approximately one third the surface tension of pure water. Soap does not strengthen bubbles, it stabilizes them, via an action known as the Marangoni effect. As the soap film stretches, the surface concentration of soap decreases, which in turn causes the surface tension to increase. So soap selectively strengthens the weakest parts of the bubble and tends to prevent them from stretching further. In addition, the soap reduces evaporation so the bubbles last longer, although this effect is relatively small.

The spherical shape is also caused by surface tension. The tension causes the bubble to form a sphere, as a sphere has the smallest possible surface area for a given volume. This shape can be visibly distorted by air currents. However, if a bubble is left to sink in still air, it remains rather spherical, more so, for example, than the typical cartoon depiction of a raindrop. When a sinking body has reached its terminal velocity, the drag force acting on it is equal to its weight. Since a bubble's weight is much smaller in relation to its size than a raindrop's, its shape is distorted much less. (The surface tension opposing the distortion is similar in the two cases: The soap reduces the water's surface tension to approximately one third, but it is effectively doubled since the film has an inner and an outer surface.)

Freezing

Soap bubbles blown into air that is below a temperature of −15 °C (5 °F) will freeze when they touch a surface. The air inside will gradually diffuse out, causing the bubble to crumple under its own weight.

At temperatures below about −25 °C (−13 °F), bubbles will freeze in the air and may shatter when hitting the ground. When a bubble is blown with warm air, the bubble will freeze to an almost perfect sphere at first, but when the warm air cools, and a reduction in volume occurs, there will be a partial collapse of the bubble. A bubble, created successfully at this low temperature, will always be rather small; it will freeze quickly and will shatter if increased further.

Merging Soap bubbles can easily merge.When two bubbles merge, the same physical principles apply, and the bubbles will adopt the shape with the smallest possible surface area. Their common wall will bulge into the larger bubble, as smaller bubbles have a higher internal pressure (also known as Ostwald ripening which is caused by pressure differences in bubbles of different radii as predicted by the Young–Laplace equation). If the bubbles are of equal size, the wall will be flat.

At a point where three or more bubbles meet, they sort themselves out so that only three bubble walls meet along a line. Since the surface tension is the same in each of the three surfaces, the three angles between them must be equal to 120°. This is the most efficient choice, again, which is also the reason why the cells of a beehive have the same 120° angle and form hexagons. Only four bubble walls can meet at a point, with the lines where triplets of bubble walls meet separated by cos−1(−1/3) ≈ 109.47°.
