thats strange orac, the dipole just heats water.
so in microwave heating there is no photon absorbed by atoms?
I was thinking that there are thousands upon thousands of photons
absorbed.
and that is the reason that the molecules heat up.
they retain the heat energy of the wave.
even though that energy is given to the molecules as photons.
oh wait a minute , you only think that atoms can absorb 1 photon and then they spontaneously spit 1 out.
so there is never more than 1 photon absorbed by an atom.
I find that facinating , orac.
does it work like this?
1) a photon in the microwave strikes a molecules atom.
2) that atom becomes excited.
3) a electron moves out to a higher orbit because it has been charged to a higher level.
4) then that electron moves inward because it emits a photon
and the atom stabilizes.
and it emits a photon with the same energy that the photon had when it was absorbed.
how do the molecule's ever get hot?
where does the heat come from?
will they return?
I suppose the dipole borrows energy from the quantum illusion
and renames it or disguises it so that no one will ever find out.
heres a few people who for some strange reason seem to think
that water molecules ( molecules are a group of atoms ) absorb photons in a microwave oven.

teach me more oh great divine keeper of knowledge.
