Title: Why dont we feel light? Post by: Bardman on March 07, 2015, 08:46:14 PM 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

We don't feel light like we feel other matter because it is different from other matter. Check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality Title: Re: Why dont we feel light?

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 Title: Re: Why dont we feel light?

It would require a much high mass object to strike you to set off the pressure sensing neurons in your skin.

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 :D Title: Re: Why dont we feel light?
