minus-squareWanderer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 months ago This happens because the air heats up so much due to friction that it forms into another state of matter called plasma Can someone confirm this? I was told the plasma is caused by compression not by friction.
minus-squarethreelonmusketeersOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoYup, I think that’s an oopsie by NSF.
minus-squareintensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoPlasma’s basically caused by heat right?
minus-squareWanderer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoProbably more technically energy. Think you can make plasma with accelerators. But energy is heat anyway basically. Not that I want to make myself out to be an expert because I’m absolutely not. I don’t really know.
