- Amadou 13y agoOddly enough, your response is basically the same sort of overly-narrow literalism that gojomo was complaining about, just from the other direction.
- serf 13y agoNo, it's not. "reverse microwave" is correct in a sense, because as gojomo pointed out, the author meant it as a way to convey the concept of "rapid-heating appliance". "You can't do x because of thermodynamics" actually was incorrect, and didn't take into account multiple specific instances which show that closed systems can create such results.
- cookingrobot 13y agoNo it wouldn't - as long as the device, target and environment heat up as a whole. For ex, laser cooling where a laser reflects off a surface with more energy than it started with.
