*CONGEALING POINT OF 140 DEGREES.* Heated to 100 degrees by the sun will WEAKEN the wax, and the wax will not be able to withstand GRAVITY pulling on it. This young man is an amazing artist, but ANYONE knows wax won't maintain its shape in the hot sun. It's the same thing as heating steel with a torch to bend it.

[@TheAnantaSesa]

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Lol

[@1001Hobbies]

@@TheAnantaSesa - In the World Trade Towers, the steel doesn't need to melt to collapse the building. There were thousands or millions of tons of weight above the floors the planes hit, and merely weakening the columns would cause them to collapse. It was windy as hell up there and there was wood desks, chairs, cabinets, and carpeting, paper, and more combustibles to burn there. Just like a Blacksmith only needs wood and a bellows to make iron and steel glow bright red for forming because that's all it takes to compromise it's strength, it is easy to understand how the columns in the towers were weakened. Besides, the jet fuel burned away quickly. Once the fire and open spaces for air to howl into the building, it was over.

Also, I'm sure the sun was able to heat the wax itself more than the ambient temperature outside (the air). Similar to how when you leave an object out in the sun and afterwards it feels extremely hot compared to how the outside air feels. The wax likely just absorbed a lot more heat

You'd think the sculptor, who regularly works with wax, would have considered surface temps, convection and direct sunlight. The limit being 140 is the temperature that it will begin to liquefy. But it will soften and lose integrity before that temp. The sidewalk was probably 140, the dirt at least 100, the air would have been in the 90s, and that wax was sitting in that radiating heat for hours. On top of that, there was humidity.

I’m sure this was planned and maybe even desired as a piece of art.

[@pigeon1923]

They expected the sculpture to melt from the heat just not as soon

[@weeblordgaming6062]

So that’s how the jet fuel melted the steal beams

[@XavierKatzone]

Amen!

[@SiriProject]

Losing the point, the statue melting was the desired outcome, it was made to ment and thus convey a message (they expected it more down the line). I personally prefer this artctivism over the people painting Stonehenge.

Wrong the direct sunlight is melting the wax. Same happens to bee wax, always has, always will. N.e.texas is experiencing lower than average temps, hive frames still melt in direct sunlight. Gaslighting!

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

People act like the artist that works with wax was caught off guard when it started melting in the sun. This was 100% intended by the artist as part of the statement. Not all art is intended to last forever.

[@illuminerd3757]

it makes for a good comment section

[@DavidLS1]

Just change the name of the statue to 'Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater'.

DUDE 💀😭

But Wax that wS supposed to melt only at 140 degrees …?!

[@onemanoneperpes1119]

Dam its so hot the statues are starting to understand our struggle with the heat.

[@isisaphrodite3585]

But it’s made of wax

[@devronjacobdegracia9557]

its not that hot over there it seems great and cold

[@Ali08]

​​@@isisaphrodite3585 Yes. What did people expect?

[@darthinvadergaming3302]

If you put a wax statue out 400 years ago in the sun it will still melt. We are in mid summer…it’s hot. Idk what you guys are thinking

[@abelle5859]

exactly

[@sunnybunnyfeeling7062]

​@@abelle5859 stick to the star wars universe, you no longer belong in this one.

[@anon2414]

They just said it should have withstood up to 140 degrees. You need better listening skills

[@Sea-Bass]

@@anon2414key phrase. Should have.

[@anon2414]

@@Sea-Bass so if something “should happen”, you shouldn’t take the risk. Your wheels shouldn’t fall off your car. Hope you never drive again 👍

[@DisgustingJustinAD]

I can totally relate to Abraham at this moment, my air conditioner is out of service 😂😂😂😂

[@davidjacobs8558]

Temperature for meteorological reporting is measured under shaded well ventilated areas to measure the temperature of air. Obviously temperature can go much higher under direct sunlight.

Mrs. Lincoln giving Abe the most diabolically, devious, sloppy toppy of his presidential career.

[@adog3129]

ok

Like I've always said, our for Father's would lose their heads at what our country has become

[@TheAccursedEntity]

The genius doing art using wax with the current heat 😂

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I'm pretty sure that this is an intentional result. I suppose it could be poor planning, but I think it's more likely to be a performance art aspect to it. Just like how Lincolns influence has waned over time, so is this statue.

[@Hollyclown]

So no head?

[@sugarmuffin319]

Wax statues left outside. Bunch of Einsteins here

[@creative_mindsrus1541]

Heat vs wax you never lit a candle?

[@Tha_Monsta88]

"Im made of wax larry, what are you made of?"

[@PyroGothNerd]

I don't know what the artist expected to happen. It's wax.

[@blueskysailing]

All that work now ruined.

[@Lowdian]

He expected it to melt, just not so quickly

[@Rosebud69]

Did you... hear the words coming out of either the reporter or the artists mouth? It's a less than 2 min video, and you couldn't be bothered to listen as to why this was unexpected and how it relates to climate change? Why even comment then? Just to shine a light on yoi shitty comprehensive skills? Good for you bud.

breaking news: wax melts in direct summer sunlight. and how do you not know that surfaces retain more heat that the actual temperature?
