: If someone was burning your head with a energy directed device?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the hypothetical scenario of someone using an energy-directed device to cause discomfort, specifically burning sensations on the head. Participants explore various types of devices that could be employed for such a purpose, considering both the scientific and practical implications of the scenario.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests the Active Denial System as a potential device for causing discomfort without physical harm.
  • Another participant humorously proposes using a UV tanning bulb as a means to achieve the burning effect.
  • A participant questions whether there is a scientific or physics-related point to the scenario or if it is merely a nonsensical idea.
  • One participant expresses a lighthearted response to the situation, indicating a reaction of pain ("ouch").

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the seriousness or scientific validity of the scenario, with some contributions leaning towards humor and others exploring potential devices.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes speculative ideas about the types of devices that could be used, but lacks detailed exploration of the underlying physics or technology involved.

Say they were very rich and performing a
mean prank and burning your head
causing itching and hair fall out what types
of devices could be used assuming they
had millions to spend.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
How about a UV tanning bulb in the overhead light :-)

Is there a science/physics point to this? Or is this just some random noise?

Zz.
 
Do you suspect someone of doing this to you?
