in my many hours of essay avoidance, one unanswered question (maybe unanswerable) has kept popping up in my mind - and it goes as follows:

 

i have a candle in a glass bowl that i burn, and the wax cant go anywhere, as its all contained in this bowl, yet there is hardly any of it left - the wick is nearly at the bottom of the dish. now here is my connundrum - does wax evaporate? it couldnt have escaped any other way - if it has evaporated, is there little particles of wax floating around in the air? if there is, surely that cant be healthy!

 

you can tell ive been bored senseless! if you have any ideas about this mysterious disappearing wax, id be more than glad to hear them!
