Wait, this person knew that the wire could bring you light, but not that it could bring you heat? Hadn't they noticed that light bulbs heat up?

- rcxdude 6mo agoIt could be a reasonable argument from the point of view of scale: you need a lot more energy for cooking than for lighting (even with incandescent lightbulbs, though they were a fair bit dimmer and colder in the earlier days of them).
- stavros 6mo agoSure, but then that's just scale, not the laws of nature.
