Magnum, who at the university has been notified about this so far?
I'm sure you've mentioned it, just don't want to go back through the thread.

quote:You are no less wet in the water than just after you are removed from the mass of water. Water can't be wet because wet is the feeling that we experience touching a solid object that's coated in a thin layer of water molecules, and because water isn't a solid it can't fit into the definition, you could say that ice is wet, a table is wet, but not water is wet, or air is wet. Naturally once you put your finger into the water to test if it's wet then your finger is wet, giving the impression water must be wet. I see where you may be lead astray though.
Gravy, you and Rebel bring up and interesting point....
Scientifically speaking, Water is a compound of Oxygen and Hydrogen. they are on your skin but underwater the water particles are still in there molecular pattern and when you get out some of the water particles are on you and slow escape in to the air.
So the body in the water isn't really wet until out of the water.
However, consider water maybe isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being.
But if you subscribe to that theory, you ignore that water is wet, in the sense of being a liquid which flows easily. This is because its viscosity is low, as its molecules are rather loosely joined together. The sensation of wetness is largely due to the cooling caused by evaporation, and water has a rather high latent heat of vaporization, which is the amount of heat it removes from its surroundings in order to convert liquid water into water vapor.
The reason it feels as it feels when water touches the skin is actually a complex electro-chemical reaction which works at amazing speeds. The sensory inputs are a combination of:
1. Your body's pH at that moment
2. The water's pH
3. Your body's temperature at that moment
4. The water's temperature
5. The atmospheric pressure
6. Molecular polarity
I'm not sure we're to a point where we can definitively make a statement as to water's wetness.

I hope my post doesn't derail this thread.
p.s. I sit in the SEZ 3rd level.
