I remember when I was younger looking into a microwave that was on, after the door had been smashed (don't ask). I remember my vision going all wavey, proper freaked me out. From this article it sounds like the water in my eyes was being rotated, which is kinda freaking me out again.
- jcl 5y agoWow... that's scary. But I think that when the article talks about water being "rotated", it's talking about individual water atoms, whose rotation would be too small to see. I imagine that the waviness would actually be due to the change in refraction due to the microwave's uneven heating -- like the waviness seen in the air just above a hot road, or the faint ripples seen at the bottom of a pot of cold water, when you start to heat it on a stove.
