      To Peira water is a molecule. A molecule is the organization of atoms. Like H2O (dihydrogen monoxide). There are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Or let’s go with another example. Table Salt (sodium chloride). 1 sodium atom and 1 chlorine atom. There is one other thing. Water is not wet by itself. But for example if you put a piece of paper towel in water. What does it do. It wets the entire paper towel. I was just trying to clarify what I was saying

    @sokandueler9578 3 года назад +13

    The way I see the “is water wet” debate is this. Wetness as we think of it in laymen’s terms is a measure of how much water a traditionally dry object contains (I.E. a wet napkin has observed water). With this in mind, if you graph the level of wetness of objects as you add water, you will notice an asymptotic curve form because there is no percentage of pure water that does not contain water. So water is not wet due to the nature of asymptotes. You can come infinitely close to being water and still being wet, but the moment you make something pure water - the moment you cross that asymptotic threshold - you are no longer wet.

      @brandontwoguns5196 5 лет назад +8

      The best way we know of to reduce carbon emissions is with new and better technology, that’s why the US is the leading country in carbon emissions by far. Also scientists don’t even call it global warming anymore, they call it climate change because they realized that the warming they predicted and still do never really changed much. Many of the studies scientists use as evidence for climate change are heavily flawed and poorly peer reviewed. Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of scientists out there who have serious evidence to say that climate change just flat out doesn’t exist or that and increase in CO2 won’t be harmful at all, maybe even better. The climate is very hard to predict, that’s why these scientists have been wrong for the past 40 years, but people still believe them for some reason.

    This is how I always approach the “is water wet?” question.
    Take fire, okay. Fire itself is not burning- that is to say, fire does not react to itself by being burnt. It just creates more fire, which is not the state of being burnt. The state of being burnt is being reduced to ashes, giving off carcinogens, etc etc.
    Same idea with water.
    Another good analogy is dirt- dirt itself cannot be ‘dirty’ because it is the dirt.
    It is the catalyst that creates the effect, and it cannot create the same effect upon itself because that effect is cancelled out by just being what it is.
    Water is not wet.

    I suppose the semantic issue behind "is water wet" is interpreting "wet" as "laced with water" which water obviously isn't because it _is_ water. But the fluid dynamics definition applies there too: Water sticks to the surface of water, therefore water is wet.

    • @MikeSchinlaub

      +Joel - Mostly the conditions to produce lightning don't exist during colder weather. BUT, there are circumstances that can produce lightning then too. I have seen lightning in the winter as well. I have also experienced an enormous hailstorm in January when the conditions to produce that rarely exist at that season where I live. Instead of 6 inches of snow... it was six inches of little ice balls and that is WORSE for driving in.

    He hasn’t grown more sarcastic and grouchy because of age. He’s just disappointed that so many people watched his show as kids, but still grew up to believe in Flat Earth and healing crystals.

    "Wet", is an *attribute* we assign an object. By that logic, if we address "water" as an "object", I suppose it can be "wet".
