I mean that’s literally what this study has shown. So it is indeed completely possible.
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.
What exactly are you talking about? What in any of my comments here lead you to that assumption? Or were you so horned up to make that comment that you responded to the wrong person?
As for my marriage. Happier than you could ever hope to be and having more sex in a week than you probably have in a decade all while working a reasonable number of hours and taking time off whenever I feel like it (I am self employed). Also buying a house and 3+ acres. Take a ton of vacations, see ever concert we can fit in to our schedule and even some we shouldn’t. For example, just saw Theory Of a Deadman, Saint Asonia and Skillet in Salem VA. Have Creed next summer, Hagar, Vai, etc next spring iirc among others.
If you had any working braincells you would cross reference my username here on other platforms. That would give you an idea of who I am, what I am and what the fuck is really going on here.
I don’t actually want your answer here so I will be proactively blocking you.
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.
First, being rude makes you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Condescension in technology and science is very ‘last century’.
Second, you’re right. This article is a bad translation at best. If the light interacted with the water in any way that produced motion and caused evaporation, that motion IS heat.
They probably mean to say that they can evaporate water directly with light without having to use a heating element or something non-water to absorb the light. That’s my best guess at translating a poorly written article at least.
No they literally state more water was evaporated than heat energy from the light could do by up to 3 times.
From the abstract: “We interpret these observations by introducing the hypothesis that photons in the visible spectrum can cleave water clusters off surfaces due to large electrical field gradients and quadrupole force on molecular clusters.”
The commenter’s interpretation of the summary was pretty close to the language Chen used.
To be clear, this article is written by an English native speaker who is summarizing a study written in English primarily by a man who’s been at U.S. universities for three decades. Unless you meant it was a bad summary, which I don’t think it was, but that’s opinion.
Oh look, another snowflake who reads factual statements as being rude. Fuck off with that shit.
The above said, thank you for being one of the few who actually gets it. There is heat everywhere there is light even if we can’t detect it with equipment. The light exciting the water molecules generates heat, this is a fact that could only be argued with by those who think birds aren’t real and/or that JFK will rise from the dead and bring along Lincoln as his vp.
