Is it possible to freeze a bubble?
I don’t have any special equipment, but it doesn’t seem like it should be too hard.

If it’s even possible, I think you have to freeze it very fast, if you want to keep it a bubble. The moment there is some crystallization in it, it will probably burst.
Interesting thought.
No it isn’t. A bubble is very fragile and contains air, as the bubble cools the air contracts, collapsing the bubble. If you look at foam, a mass of conjoined bubbles, as it freezes it turns into a sort of frost, it doesn’t remain as bubbles.
Freezing a bubble of gum should be easy. Water is going to be hard.
Didn’t they do it in a SpongeBob episode?

@oratio The question asked about frozen bubbles. There they are.
Lol, well, you are right there.
Yes, it is possible… I read an article on it in a magazine once. Soap bubbles though, not actual bubble solution. If that makes a difference.
@toomuchcoffee911- Good point. And remember, they also have fire, rain and snow, as well as an ocean with a beach in Bikini Bottom. And remember the time poor Gary practically died of thirst because SpongeBob forgot to put water in his water bowl?
Check this out, I can blow spit bubbles out of my mouth. A couple of years ago, while on a ski lift I blew a bubble that landed on the metal bar that stops you from falling out and istantly froze!
It is possible, I’ve done it. I believe it has to be subzero though.
(soap bubbles/bubble container bubbles btw)
@TheBox193 Cool. Yes, I also feel strongly that subzero would be a prerequisite.
How did you do it? Blew a soap bubble and put it in the freezer? Does that work? Or liquid nitrogen?
Depends on the stuff that makes up the bubble.
@oratio I just blew the bubble outdoors. It was crazy you could see the it crystallize, land and shatter.
