Why does boiling water get quieter just as it reaches boiling point? For that matter, why does it make noise while it's heating up?

air bubbles leaving, I am guessing.

The noise is a release of energy, ie water atoms(?) gettin' all hot an' bothered.
Once boiled the atoms(?) of the water have reached a 'chill out' zone. Hence no need to release any energy.
That's my guess...

A watched pot never boils, but maybe we should just all be listening-- Outsmarted the old creedo!

increased volitivity is the molecules which rapidly increases as the water heats.
Damn you must be bored.

The colder the water = the more air in it. Thus, when it's warm - there's not as many bubbles to make the sound.

why is the light leaving the sun in the opposite direction of earth actually 16 minutes older than the same light hitting the earth at the same time?
and then why if older is it refferred to as future light?
