Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.
I can’t remember the context, but a coworker said “I shouldn’t have to care whether the moon gives off light or reflects it.”
I remember being stunned…
Technically all things give off blackbody radiation, of which almost none of which is in visible light at normal temperatures.
Wait, is there someone out there forcing people to care about whether the moon is reflective or emissive?
Thats pretty funny
