what trips me out is, if you throw water on something , that something BECOMES wet right? so if that something becomes wet , then said like that would emply that it becomes water if wtaer is naruarlly wet. BUT let's say a shirt has water poured on it, does the shirt loose it's identity as a shirt or is it merely a wet shirt, because it has not fully BECOME water, rather it is saturated WITH water and existing as a shirt IN water, even though not fully submerged IN water? hmmmmmm

@donewithitall1 Welcome to the discussion, Ndugu. 'does the shirt loose it's identity as a shirt or is it merely a wet shirt, because it has not fully BECOME water'.. This opens up another interesting Thought: Does 'wet' not actually exist until there is a contact between two forms of matter.. be it solid+liquid, liquid+gas, etc.? Can this be why ice is not 'wet' until it either self-melts or comes in contact with liquid? If so, then 'dry' would not exist.. as it eternally exists with 'wet'..

[TStheEducator]

@TStheEducator And, if by deduction.. 'dry' does not exist.. then it can never be proved whether something is 'wet'.. because wet would not exist, because they are both eternally connected.

water \ is a liquid that can give the appearance of being wet through the process of evaporation and perspiration but water is not wet- for example if u wash hands and you take them out of the water then your hands will appear and feel wet because the water has not air dried yet

water is not wet - necessarily - it can be considered a liquid that is a form of perspiration but wet just describes the physical feeling to the human animal and appearance

@donewithitall1 this heat out side" knowing that it's really cold outside(at least down here in texas right now), In my head I'm thinking about how cold IS hot and vice versa , but each with varying intensities of each other....so then why do we find need to classify these as differences? I briefly saw a vision of the "bible" page in revelations speaking on lukewarmness and how "christ" or the Spirit was making a point that it is better to be either hot OR cold.....

@hawk12399 Steam can not be 100%, cuz steam is water and Air, percentage of wetness. When it comes to 100% wet, then it is no longer steam it is now water.

[donewithitall1]

@TStheEducator so, initially , wet IS dry or dry IS wet? So how would we classify what we consider "wet" ? We could say " the shirt is saturated WITH water" to explain it's "wetness" without having to use "more" or "less" saturated based on saturation being a complete occurance? This discussion makes me think where did "wet" and "dry " ever manifest as being actual? I joke sometimes while at work when someone asks me how i'm doing . I say " wheww i'm trying to stay cool with all..

@TStheEducator Wet=Wat=Wate=Water. Water is wet, water is water. Things get wet or water. If it does not sound wrong to say that water is water, then it would also be all alright to say Water is wet. if water gets water, then water gets wet.
