NASA | Afterschool Universe: Supernova Can Crunch

The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment using a soda can to illustrate the concept of equilibrium. By heating water in a can and then cooling it rapidly, the can implodes, similar to how a star collapses when fusion stops. The experiment highlights the balance between internal and external pressures, drawing an analogy to the balance of forces in a star's lifecycle.
