when you put ur hand near something cold as to feel the cold.

>>9146908
yes. humans cannot actually sense temperature, merely heat transfer. its the basis of the "REEL FEEL" temperature they show you on the news.

>>9146908
Yes. Though I do recall one entrepreneur trying to sell "cold focusing" mirrors some time back.

Reifying "cold" is a common human misconception.

>>9146910
whats reel feel? im not american

>>9146910
This makes sense. so in a way, our "perception of temperature" is relative to our own body?

>>9146959

There is the actual temperature outside, and there is also a a subjective coldness number that is different depending on the humidity and wind speed

>>9146908
yeah, that's why a room-temperature bath/pool is colder to your skin

it's not a different temperature to the air, the rate of change of your skin's temperature down just increases

>>9147042
hmm this makes alot of sense

>>9147042
Are we typically comfortable at temperatures alot lower than our body temperature because our body keeps creating heat so if the temperature goes up too much we end up overheating because the gradient or whatever is too small?
