Consider this.

Have you ever had a sunburn and felt the heat radiating from your skin ?

I wonder if corals ever feel the same way with the UV beating down on them ?

If they physically generate heat from giving off the unused radiation ?

 

[rams]

its just not the same, think about it

 

[Letmegrow]

I am thinking about it.

We both have skin. They retain radiation, obviously because that is the color we see reflected back to us.

Why would they not retain the heat from the UV ?

I know they have sun blocker built in but still.

Or are you screwing with me Rams ?

 

[rams]

the only way to debate this is to take the temperature of the coral or view it thru infrared camera. Then you could view the heat transfer. I guess one would be curious on how close we are the same if so. I read the Stefan-Boltzmann Law blah blah and it depends on how you look at it from each point of view. The coral or the human body. Sorry this is too much for a monday night, good night

When did you pick some of that up ?

Isn't 11% abv a bit much for monday night ?

Monday night is the best time... Catches everyone off guard.

I definitly don't think it would be the same for them as it would us, after reading this but i have often felt like the fish get dark tans when I put in fresh lights.

When you sit in the sun you expose yourself to ultraviolet light which kills cells. The ultraviolet light is able to reach the layer of living cells in the epidermis and begins to damage and kill them.

Your body knows that cells are being killed, so your immune system is activated to clean things up. Blood flow to the area is increased which opens up capillary walls so that white blood cells can come in and remove the damaged cells.

The increased blood flow makes your skin warm and red. The nerve endings for pain begin sending signals to your brain. The damaged cells release chemicals that activate pain receptors and this is the end result where your sunburn hurts or is very sensitive.

I didn't get any "yet". I did have two Dr. Pepper's earlier though

It comes in 750cc bottles for about $5-6 each and it has a shelf life of 15yrs as it is a "live beer" whatever that means:lol:

 

[Letmegrow]

So blood is the reason your skin gives off the heat ?

Wow, that seems like a hell of a lot of warmth to give off at one time.

 

[rams]

does a coral peal after a sunburn??????


Nook when you putting in the micro brewery?

 

[rams]

nah we can radiate heat with out a sunburn and without sweating Read the Law my brother...

 

[weluvfish54]

have u seen on clowns sometimes they get some black smudges on them? ive heard that comes from lighting...like tan spots =D not sure on it though.

 

[Letmegrow]

I will read that law right after Ohms law, which is never :lol:

 

[weluvfish54]

it was a theory, not a law. an idea if u will.

Anything that has a temperature above absolute zero gives off radiant heat (I guess physiology did teach me something halfway useful this semester).

Can't you feel something radiate cold as well? Or would that be due to the differences in temperatures between someone feeling or standing next to an object that is extremely cold?

 

[frenchie]

i felt heat radiating off the huge slab furnace that i was working in last night, it was still 120 degrees inside the furnace when we started doing repair work.

FWIW, I'm taking my monti cap in to have a mole looked at.
