I don't think you have the grasp on things that you think you do. I'm not in the mood nor do I have the time to have a beginners class on this so I suggest you do some reading on your own and learn how to analyze things and come to your own conclusions. Way way too many studies are straight up faked at worst, at best they are tweaked and results that say something different are thrown out or ignored.
By this logic, when we heat up food or drinks in the microwave we are not using heat at all. We are in fact generating heat as the water molecules are excited by the energy in the radio waves being transmitted towards whatever is in the microwave. For those who may not know, radio waves are just light we can't see because our eyes don't have whats needed to see them.
You know what. Ignore everything I said above and keep on keeping on. Stay ignorant and full of yourself. See how far that gets you in life.
I hope you lack the time because you’re setting up your own study. This one was set up due to previous observations of rates of evaporation double or greater than those understood to be mathematically possible. Hell of an equipment error. It also observes a difference in the rate of evaporation under different colors of light, with the highest rate of evaporation occurring under green light, which you would probably also deem impossible, since color has nothing to do with it and green isn’t even the most energetic wavelength. An MIT professor, a postdoc, and four others hang their hat on these results, and the reality of this phenomenon. rdyoung disagrees with them in a comments section on an obscure forum. Which source might be more credible?
You also definitely don't understand what I or the study is saying. Not surprised here at all.
Again, as I said. Maybe we don't have the tech to read the miniscule amount of heat in a photon of light or the heat generated as the light excites the water molecules, that doesn't mean that heat wasn't a part of it.
Yet another one who has no idea or grasp of the concepts at play here.
Just like reddit, I thought a sub such as this would have a smarter community but once again you lot proved me wrong and showed me that no matter how dumb I think people can be, they can always surprise you with the idiocy.
I'll leave you with a quote from Harvey Danger.
Been around the world and found That only stupid people are breeding.
Lighten up. This is no way to have a productive discussion. If you aren't in the mood, then maybe you shouldn't be commenting right now. Take a breather. We all have bad days. Hope you feel better.
