Water isn’t wet. Wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid adheres to a solid surface due to cohesive and adhesive forces. Water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, creating a network, but they themselves aren’t ‘wet’ until they interact with another material.
Hmm yes, shallow and pedantic.
Counterpoint: water is wet because it is the wet.
A powerful example of such a scenario is this quote from the philosopher, Batman:
“I am vengeance! I am the night! I.am.BATMAN!”
What this proves is shut up, water is wet. 😡
Rain is wet, it is not adhered to a solid surface. The middle of the ocean is wet even if there’s no solid surface near by.
If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?
I thought we were talking about science, not philosophy.
How do we know the properties of black holes, distract stars, and the early universe if we’re not in them?
Isn’t it only wet after it touches you? You can anticipate it’s wet, but the state would exist after contact.
Aren’t the molecules touching other molecules wet if it involves touch?
An individual h2o molecule can’t be wet, but if two of them are touching, they are both wet.
So you’re telling me that water makes things wet. That makes it wet as a verb, so flatter us in fact wet all the time
I am of the opinion that a single molecule of water is not wet but since water makes other things wet… A molecule of water would make the surrounding molecules of water wet. Therefore pretty much any example you can give of water is wet unless you mean just a single molecule of water separated from anything else.
