    Methinks you need some English lessons my friend. The verb produce when used with object (agitated molecules) means 'bring into existence; give rise to; cause' Your inference is that there is no object being used, which is of course, ridiculous. You are correct that the 2.4Ghz oscillations agitate the molecules(i.e. movement), which produces the end result.

    Im more interested in the accuracy of whether or not a microwave does actually produce pathogens from excessive heat. Its a very old claim made by many microwave skeptics, but not proven as far as I can tell.
    Possibly the scum on a pots base from burned milk would have the same composition as those milk globules you get as a result of too higher microwave heat; I dont know.
    I'm not the one who needs a lesson. Heat is not brought into existence. Energy is transferred/transformed - and we call this transferred energy 'heat'.

    You could perhaps say "he got in his car, and driving was produced, then he arrived at his destination". Likewise, you could fill a bucket with sand and say you produced bucketed sand. But you'd get funny looks...

    My aim was not to point out a lexical error, but to address the likely conceptual misunderstanding behind it.

    As for pathogens - anyone who can take sterile milk, put it in a microwave and create a new organism is a shoe-in for a Nobel prize - or perhaps more fittingly, a sainthood.

      Glitch!
      First 54 posts all in June 2014. A further 0 until Sept 2015 and then it became 'you say potato I say potahto'.

      Can we let this poor poor necro thread just die?
