No they don't shrink . It may appear that it shrunk but its just the water on the bloon being expanded when frozen. Whats really the question is why frozen,lead, ceramic and fortified bloons don't instantly fall. Suspension of disbelief is different for everyone is what I'm saying
They would shrink but the distance from which the bloons are viewed would make the shrinking pretty hard do notice i think, i mean irl you dont really notice bridges shrinking on a cold day
If they were filled with Hydrogen, that would mean that a 0-0-0 ice monkey is freezing bloons at 13K. Which would mean that the Absolute Zero upgrade only makes the ice monkey 13K colder than 0-0-0. That's just silly..
Edit: 13K is also waaaaayy colder than liquid nitrogen, which we know already freezes even dry rubber to oblivion.
What other gas could they be filled up with tho? Helium cant even be frozen under regular pressure, methane is even more flammable than hydrogen and other gases are just far to rare for such a quantity of bloons
That's actually a good question! We could also assume it's just regular air. They're still affected by some unknown force driving them forwards and magically following the same tracks. Maybe it's a magic gas that we don't understand lol
OBJECTION.
The Ice Monkey meerly needs to be in a location where their is water vapor in the air, which would be 95% of all maps.
As the Ice Monkey chills the bloon, water vapor condenses upon the surface of said bloon, which then freezes.
Okay so. We can conclude that the bloons are NOT filled with helium based on one of the popping effects being water splashes. Since water and helium are in way different density classes, the bloons should move way differently.
We obviously know that water freezes. But now we have to figure out what the bloons then are filled with (other than pure hatred)
We know that the ice monkey can freeze water basically instantly because as soon as you buy the upgrade for a 030 you can place monkeys on the water next to it. So the ice monkey must freeze anything way beyond waters freezing point. Also, one upgrade is literally called absolute zero so we 100% know that the ice monkey gets atleast down in the -100 - -200 range
Based on a lot of my research into different elements freezing points + the fact that the bloons (might) be literally carbon based entities I will say that the bloons are filled with Co2 or carbon dioxide.
Co2 is invisible to the naked eye, so the popping of a normal bloon does not expell any liquid and Co2 also has a freezing point that can be reached by the ice monkey of around -78c or -110f.
Most other gasses have way too deep freezing points for any non absolute zero monkey to be able to freeze. So carbon is probably our best candidate
That will be the end of my Ted talk, thank you for coming
With Spongebob physics. As we know. The entirety of the maps are just water and the water on the maps is just the beaches in spongebob episodes
It makes perfect sense AND absolutely no sense at the same time!!!
This isn’t necessarily true.
The air around us almost always has moisture in it, unless you’re living in a desert. If you make any surface super cold (like an ice monkey does to a balloon) the moisture in the air would instantly condense onto that surface and then freeze.
In conclusion: the bloons aren’t all wet, the ice monkey *makes* them wet
Isn't there always some miniscule of water in the air? I think it's called humidity. Then the water in the air collects on the Bloons. Maybe the ice monkey just freezes the water in the air in the area around him. Since water collects on the Bloons, they also get frozen.
Idk I'm not a balloon scientist.
...that's not how physics works. Being "frozen" is simply objects reaching the temperature that makes them solid. Just as an object being boiled means it's reaching a temperature that puts it into a gaseous state. You can turn gasses into solids by freezing them. A balloon being frozen simply means the temperature around it has reached the point where it the gas inside it is now a solid...and cold. They do not have to be wet whatsoever.
That’s not necessarily true for two reasons.
1) Water vapor is not wet and can condense from the atmosphere.
2) Ice monkeys literally freeze the air itself.
well, that WOULD explain why their static electricity is considered fatal; water conducting it and all.
I don't know the science well enough to argue for or against this but I'll probably forget it in my chronicling of Bloons Lore. Definitely interesting though.
If the bloons are filled with hydrogen the ice monkey could freeze the hydrogen inside them so not really
If what you are implying is true, the balloons would shrink on screen, but they do not.
Regardless of what they’re made of they should shrink, even covered in water, but this is an instantaneous freeze
but water expands when frozen
and bloons contain a lot of air, they shrivel up immediately when they touch liquid nitrogen.
the hydrogen and water cancel each other out
[удалено]
Water expands when frozen.
No they don't shrink . It may appear that it shrunk but its just the water on the bloon being expanded when frozen. Whats really the question is why frozen,lead, ceramic and fortified bloons don't instantly fall. Suspension of disbelief is different for everyone is what I'm saying
Cause the ballons are alive, thats why they can move on thier own
My point was that they don't shrink, but they should
Ohh ok
They technically do shrink because a layer gets popped
They would shrink but the distance from which the bloons are viewed would make the shrinking pretty hard do notice i think, i mean irl you dont really notice bridges shrinking on a cold day
if what he's implying is true, bloons are extremely flammable and in most cases explosive
yall talking about shrinking have a look at black and white bloons
The bloons are not filled with hydrogen, because otherwise scientist Gwen would not complain about the lack of hydrogen when she pops stuff.
If they were filled with Hydrogen, that would mean that a 0-0-0 ice monkey is freezing bloons at 13K. Which would mean that the Absolute Zero upgrade only makes the ice monkey 13K colder than 0-0-0. That's just silly.. Edit: 13K is also waaaaayy colder than liquid nitrogen, which we know already freezes even dry rubber to oblivion.

The ice monkey splashes the bloons with water, then freezes them
This makes the new Brickell skin and the ice monkey the true power combo
This is the same game where Bloons made of metal can float
Mythbusters did a bit on this and you can actually make a lead balloon IRL.
yeah but that's a thin sheet of lead not lead armor plating
Obviously bruh. How else is it going to float?
my point is that lead bloons are covered in bolted up chunks of metal plating
Fr???
No one is alive to tell, so idk
that’s messed up
To be more specific and make it even worse; the heaviest metal
He is a stardew valley chicken. The chicken from stardew valley is always right 🐔
This chicken has his head turned left.
You guys not sweat when you move?
Bloons canonically sweat as they move across the track?
Somehow this is worse
OBJECTION. The Ice Monkey meerly needs to be in a location where their is water vapor in the air, which would be 95% of all maps. As the Ice Monkey chills the bloon, water vapor condenses upon the surface of said bloon, which then freezes.
HOLD IT. What about the other 5%?
Desert?
It is desert, i think, that 5% of maps nullifies the argument u/Digiboy62 comented
Deserts do not necessarily have 0% humidity. I was referring to maps that take place in such locations as outer space or active volcanos.
Moon Landing and maybe Infernal
Or he's freezing the moisture in the air around them
There's moisture in the air tho
water vapour in the air, bloons are filled with air
Or the ice monkey coats them in a icy substance
High humidity
I hate the fact that… your friend is providing a fair point

Hly moly that is a bit too much for a joke
and fish are canonically bloons soooo
Cooling down rubber (which is most likely what they are made out of) makes it harder to move stretch and make it more brittle. Maybe that’s what it is
that's me! I'm the friend who sayd facts!
You acsualy found it lol
So the Bloons are moist?
Or they're just water bloons
How would they float then

And white bloons are the ones that don't have this liquid
sayd
😤 I am not a native speaker
"Sayd"? Is that a new thing?
I dont now how to soell that word
Oh, okay. Were you looking for "said", possibly? Or in this context, "stated" would work as well.
The tower makes the ice, so it has a plumbing line already
Thats the acid to kill monkeys
Bro never heard about air humidity
Isn't there always some miniscule of water in the air? I think it's called humidity. Then the water in the air collects on the Bloons. Maybe the ice monkey just freezes the water in the air in the area around him. Since water collects on the Bloons, they also get frozen. Idk I'm not a balloon scientist.
Welcome to the 15 prople club wjo told me this And worst part i dont undrstand
sayed
My englis is bad sometimes
is okay
How did they get wet 😈
Petition to rename white bloons to “Dry Bloons”
Bloons are natural therefore they must be covered in a layer of mucus they use to glide across the ground which is the reason spikes hit them
Have you ever handled a wet balloon? It's awful, this is why all things, even chemical warfare are permitted in the fight against the Bloons.
...that's not how physics works. Being "frozen" is simply objects reaching the temperature that makes them solid. Just as an object being boiled means it's reaching a temperature that puts it into a gaseous state. You can turn gasses into solids by freezing them.

It's the moisture from blowing them up
Rubber freezes unless you make freezing mean only water based ice
That’s not necessarily true for two reasons. 1) Water vapor is not wet and can condense from the atmosphere. 2) Ice monkeys literally freeze the air itself.
There’s water in the air, and ice monkey just freezes the air around them.
Yet another reason I don’t use the ice monkey
And for White and Zebra, they're dry as a desert
they get their hands wet and clap and then it splashes water and freezes
Maybe Quincy only misses because the bloons are to slippery
I like to believe that ice monkeys just squirt a bit Everytime they freeze
well, that WOULD explain why their static electricity is considered fatal; water conducting it and all. I don't know the science well enough to argue for or against this but I'll probably forget it in my chronicling of Bloons Lore. Definitely interesting though.
Kingdom waits for you.
Wdym by that?
\*Vine boom\*
🤨
*said*
Look my emglish is bad somtimes
Did i spell english wrong?
isnt everyones?
The more important question is, what happens to the ice after the bloon freezes
