kerbiloid Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Only liquid water (known as liquid water) is wet. Solid water is unwetted until it had been molten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaja Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The dictionary definition of wet is: Covered or soaked with a liquid, such as water. so theoretically since water is covered in water it is wet, unless it is a single molecule.

LHACK4142 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 19 minutes ago, Ryaja said: unless it is a single molecule but is that molecule wet? It isn't exactly covered with a liquid, but it may be soaked... googling the definition of soaked just gives an unhelpful loop saying that a soaked thing is wet.

Superfluous J Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 If a single molecule of water is not wet, then what about 2 molecules of water? I mean, if I had a drop of water on me I wouldn't say I was wet. Somewhere between 1 drop and being submerged in water is when I would become wet, and similarly somewhere between 1 molecule and an ocean, you could say that water would be wet. It's like the "how many rocks are in a pile of rocks?" If you have a pile of rocks, and remove a rock, it's still a pile. Until some point that pile of rocks vanishes and becomes just some rocks. Many conundrums here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazalassa Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 According to 'surface sample' in 'water': 66 [Water] appears to dramatically increase the surface humidity of anything it touches. 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superluminal Gremlin Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 You will never know if water is wet because if you put a wetness detector in water to find out if water is wet the wetness detector will immediatly become wet and invalidate the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutabaga22 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The 'Water is wet because molecules on molecules is water soaking a molecule' and it's argument of 'somewhere the water goes from "drops on a molecule" to "wet molecule" ' sounds like the very funny concept me and my friends call the puddle limit. There is point where either a puddle is unable to continue to sustain itself and it balancing out to becoming a minor body of water. Like, at some depth of a pit you can fill it up and it will stay a body of water, but at any depth below that it will not sustain itself.

SSTO Crasher Posted Monday at 03:07 AM Share Posted Monday at 03:07 AM (edited) Consider this, “wet” is a perspective, we can only tell if something is wet if we can observe evidence of such, but we can only argue either point of wet or non-wet about water because we can’t determine, and therefore since our ape brains can not immediately determine, we have to get into abstract thought. Therefore water is neither wet nor dry, as the typical properties of wetness can not be observed nor applied.
