Topic: Why dont we feel light? (Read 1067 times)
You could feel a high power laser beam designed for cutting metal if you accidentally got caught in it. That's light you can feel.
There are a lot of things we dont see but are there, air for example, we dont see it but we can definitely feel it, wind for example. The same with sound we can feel sound vibrations aswell but what about light?? Light is something and it travels at the speed of light heh really fast, shouldnt we feel it? Shouldnt it damage us? For instance if air was traveling at the speed of light would kill us, 200km/h winds are already pretty dangerous
See, air is made up of molecules like that of O2, N2, H2O etc, which all have mass. So their collision has an energy of 3/2kbNT.
Where as photons are mass-less. And have a work function which has affect only on metals.
Also you seem to be high as fuck
What are smoking dude?
I want that sh*t too!
You don't really feel light because the mass per photon is so small. It would require a much high mass object to strike you to set off the pressure sensing neurons in your skin.
But we do feel light in form of heat, a blind person can tell it he is exposed to the sun.
If you don't feel light, it's because you are too heavy. DUH!

You've never sunbathed?
Also, anyone who suffers from migraines can certainly attest that one can "feel" light!

Yes its just that light travels so fast i was thinking we should feel it way harder if you know what i mean
We do feel light and it is dangerous, it can damage your eyes and it can give you skin cancer.
We don't feel light like we feel other matter because it is different from other matter.
