Is fire a liquid or a solid?

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:17:26 2010 No.1309138 neither, it is similar to a plasma

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:17:26 2010 No.1309145 it's gas

>>	Skunkworks !e1337Hykks Thu Jul 1 00:18:26 2010 No.1309154 >>1309145 >>1309138 both correct

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:19:26 2010 No.1309159 What you see as fire is photons being produced by the breakdown of chemical bonds. Photons are not matter.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:19:26 2010 No.1309162 "Statess" don't mean all that much when you consider quantum effects. "Gas." (particles/molecules not bonded together) Shit's hot, excited energy levels, gives off light. Fire. mazafaka.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:20:26 2010 No.1309169 Fire is troll.

>>	Skunkworks !e1337Hykks Thu Jul 1 00:20:26 2010 No.1309170 >>1309159 What you see as matter is infact photons being emitted from matter and striking the matter of your eye. Fire is simply a gas that is hot enough to glow.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:23:26 2010 No.1309190 >>1309170 This. And if the gas is hot enough to ionize it's called a plasma.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 1 00:24:26 2010 No.1309204 case and point, op has been informed

>>	LyeingAboleth Thu Jul 1 00:25:26 2010 No.1309214 Depends on the initiating elements.
