You have defined yourself into a corner. How will
you get out?

me!? you mean you

It is clear you are trolling. What remains to be
seen is why. I will listen for shoes...

why trolling, obviously you dont have any answer,
or are afraid to state a answer


I have answered what I perceived each question to be. The
question keeps being moved. First is was "invisible" and
"able
to be touched",


you are lying, you are moving as a pendulum


QUOTE FROM INITIAL POST
wait a minute, lets an object be only visible outside the
visible spectrum, say UV eller IR, so we cant see it

wait a while, we make it simple, suppose that this
object lay on your table, you cant see it so it is
invisible, do not confuse, it is not transparent, because
if it were then you could see it, you don see anything on
your table, your table seems empty

now, if you drag your hand on your table will you sense it,
will you touch and detect its shape?
END QUOTE

Not visible light, yes IR or UV, and can be touched, defines
existance. So *you* cannot read.

OK. *This* was the other shoe. You are simply looking for a
fight. Goobye.

i though i understod light, but this is wird, maybe

our eyes can detect light EM in the visible spectrum,
say lambda 700nm to 400nm, which is very nice

wait a minute, lets an object be only visible outside the

No entirely transparent object exists.

Dear Mister Bill

thank you for your feedback, i think you are right

could you elaborate a bit?

the other posters just said that the object still exists


Not from my reading of what at least one of them said.

No known object has zero effect on EM radiation in the visible spectrum.
Even air, which you think may, refracts light differently depending on
temperature. If you are trying to find issues with physics by means of
thought experiments concerning things that do not actually exist; you
will
fail.

Bill


you know what,


You are just a silly, stupid, troll. People tried to treat you a bit
seriously - obviously a waste.

Bill

you been actually the closest understanding tha
situation, than i wold had gave you 10 poings, but you are chiken****,
following the currents and streamlines, therefore you only get 5
poings
for now

be happy, the others only gets between 0 and 2 poings

you cannot say that light is wave and/or particle

light is much more than that

Obviously from looking in a mirror. But as simply another incarnation of
the dyslexic troll you are not worth my time or energy. I know Dirk reckons
you are poking fun at troll/cranks but I believe it goes beyond that. You
also want to annoy others and engage them in off topic nonsense. Lest I
fall into your oh so obvious trap I will state now this is my last post in
this thread - actually I think I will give your posts a rest for a while.
They are rather predictable.

moron, dark matter obj are transparent, huh?

read fool
http://www.physorg.com/news84797343.html

"We know there is much more matter in the universe than what we see.
For instance, the rotation velocity of observed spiral galaxies is much
faster than the visible mass could explain," says Joachim Ripken, a
researcher with the HESS Collaboration. "And we know that it is not
the normal matter that we know." Ripken refers to dark matter, a type
of matter that physicists know must be present in the universe, but
that cannot be seen because it does not interact with light. It is
matter, Ripken tells PhysOrg.com, that "we only know what it is
not."

Yes, of course it does. Invisibility has nothing to do with existence.


this is an wonderful thing, would this object also be
matterial or imatterial, only matterializin when appearing
into tha visble spectrum?


My definition of "material" does not include visibility as a necessity.
There are many material things that are not visible. Air, for example.




First of all, let's examine your hypothetical situation. Unless they
are hot compared to the environment, visible objects *reflect* or
*scatter* light that is incident on them, and so the light that comes
from them is actually due to an external source. There are some objects
that absorb some of the wavelength incident on them and reflect some --
for example, a banana reflects light in the yellow-green portion of the
visible spectrum but absorbs light from the violet and red ends of the
spectrum. Things that absorb all incident light in the visible spectrum
appear black to us --- far from invisible.


you contradict yourself here, you just said it exists


Yes, it does exist. Nowhere in the above did I say that it doesn't
exist.


if not visible is tha object exiting or not

this is wordsalad, has nothen ta do with the situation



What you apparently want to imagine is something that is *transparent*
to all light in the visible spectrum, which means that if the object
were sitting on a table, then all light scattered from the table would
proceed through the transparent object unimpeded, unabsorbed,
unscattered to your eyes. This also is not unusual, as anyone who has
walked into a closed sliding glass door can tell you.


no, how many times do i have to say that i dont mean transparency
whatso any fokn ever


What you describe, though, is precisely that. Transparency. If
something is invisible, it means that you can see the light scattered
from objects behind it. That's what transparency means.




Finally, if you want to probe the true nature of light by considering
hypothetical objects, it's probably best to consider hypothetical
objects that have some bearing to reality.


what reality

are you implaing that objects only detectable outside tha visble
spectrum are not real enuff?


No, I'm not.




you cannot say that light is wave and/or particle


That's right. Light has properties of both.


wrong, i just that it is much more than that


Yes, and that's all you said. If you have something more to say about
the concrete nature of light, then say it.




light is much more than that


Yes, indeed. And much more than that is already understood about light,
if you care to read further. I suggest a small book called QED by
Richard Feynman.


rather you should recomand one for your selv

aparently only hobba sensed the problematics here, maybe
this is becos he is doin qm so intensively


And the book I recommended to you is one about quantum mechanics, which
is why I recommended it to you. That way, you'll know a little better
who knows what they're talking about other than your hunch.

not according to my dictionarry

in order ta be transparent it needs first and foremost to be materrial,

invisibilty is somthin completly else

Uh, no, a wave does NOT need to be material and have density. Some
waves have a material medium, but not all waves. I don't know where you
got the idea that a wave required a material medium. That is certainly
not how a wave is defined.
