Default Water burns!

If quantum physics leaves your belief system shattered, then I'd have
to say you don't understand quantum physics on even a superficial
level... or else you're exaggerating your reaction to it. The math
is a real bitch, but the generalized concepts are easily grasped by
those who understand classical physics. But that aside, the real
point is that quantum physics doesn't leave classical physics as a
broken law to be tossed aside. NASA will continue to use classical
physics to plot trajectories to the Moon or to Mars.

OMG! What was I thinking, particles that "wink in" and "wink out" are
total boring! ROFLOL!!!

...
Are you even for one instant suggesting that "burning" water for a net
release of useful energy might be true?
...


I pointed out that with engineers and physicists (No, I didn't examine
their degrees) it is worth a look, not a bunch of fools booing in the
isles ...

What gas are we talking about here that can be transported with no
loss? The current darling candidate is hydrogen... for which net
tank-based transportation costs are tremendous. REmember - or at
least realize - that "transportation" includes the cost to compress on
the sending end, expand and recompress on the receiving end, plus the
classical over the road costs. Then when you figure that the energy
density of gasoline is 9000 Wh/l (watt-hours per liter) and for
hydrogen compressed to 150 bar (2200 lb/sq. in.) is only 405 Wh/l you
can see that transportation costs are far higher per watt-hour
delivered.


You are stuck in your own world, blinded by your own thoughts ...
pipelines carrying hydrogen or hydrogen + oxygen would experience no
loss ...

...
not to mention the dangers of having a ready made super bomb on every
city corner - where a gas station used to be - just waiting for
terrorists to set it off.


Hydrogen is magnitudes safer than gasoline, kerosene, diesel, natural
gas, etc.--due to hydrogens "buoyancy", on escape to the environment, it
rapidly escapes upwards, the bulk of heat and energy is directed upwards
when burning also ...

So, you are one of the, "Yeah, I already knew that" crowd. Good, I
needed an example, such as you, to show the group ...
